The Light of ANAS

Already Can Give Signs Ready for Marriage

Night driving is indeed more often an option for some riders who aim to get out of town, be it a mini bus or even large vehicles such as trucks, puso, tronton, and so forth. In addition to the quiet streets as well as the weather that feels cool, they can get there faster without having to meet with traffic jams. However, it applies on ordinary days, if it coincides with the homecoming of Eid or new year or long holidays, then the same thing sometimes occurs in traffic.

Afin who was driving a car on the highway to Bandung, now hit by drowsiness and when he glanced at his watch turned out to have shown at two in the morning. He asked for a change of steering on Dandy, it turns out Dandy was sleepy. Finally when he saw the gas station in front, Arfin turned his car to the rest area, to pray and rest for a while.

They both fell asleep until the alarm from the phone set an hour ago woke them up. Dandy bought a glass of coffee so that his drowsiness disappeared, in contrast to Arfin who only drank mineral water, because he did not like coffee. Then they went on, and this time Dandy drove, while Arfin went back to sleep.

After two hours of travel, they finally arrived in front of a house which was the place that Arfin meant. “Heh, kebo wake up, we already sampe nih at the house of Mimih... beware if your guess is wrong, if until Naz does not exist, I have already made me excited like this, I think, where yesterday I abis nanganin SC three more patients,, not yet a normal birth,,”, Dandy grumbled annoyed at his newly awakened best friend.

They also got down from the car parked in front of the gate of the house, then they entered the gate with his jump like a thief because the fence is still in the padlock. Then they walked to the terrace of the house.

“Crazy yes we meet at this hour, four o'clock in the morning euy, use jumping over the fence again, fortunately not high”, said Dandy commenting on their behavior.

“More fortunately no one saw”, Arfin chimed with facial features that are still was-was.

“Where are you sure no one saw us?”, asked Dandy astonished.

“Soalnya no one yells at us maling”, Java Arfin while smiling cynically.

“Hahahaha,,, “, Dandy in this state can still laugh, and they are now standing at the door of the house.

Ting nong,,,, ting nong,,, Dandi who was standing in front of the glass window next to the door pressed the bell, but no one had opened the door yet, while Arfin was standing right in front of the door.

Ting nong,, ting nong,,,, Dandy pressed the bell again.

“Iya, briefly,,,”, shouted someone from inside,“ who the hell is visiting at this”, heard people grumbling and it looks like he is unlocking the door.

Ceklek ,,, the door was opened by someone, and when the door was wide open, Arfin finally could breathe a sigh of relief, he smiled to see someone wearing a face opening the door,,, Grepp,,,, he said,,, Arfine hugged him. “Finally,, I found you dear,,, “, he said feeling relieved, happy, moved, mixed into one, because he saw the girl he loved so much in good condition. “Don't disappear like this again,, I'm almost crazy looking for you everywhere”, he said again with glassy eyes.

“Sorry A,,,,”, Naz who is still in Arfin's arms. They hugged for a while.

“Hallo, Assalamu'alaikum, is there anyone here ?”, said Dandy who seemed to quip because it seemed like his existence was considered a ghoib, Arfin and Naz suddenly let go of their arms.

“Kak Dandy is here?”, asked Naz who was surprised.

“Indeed who was the bell-picker? Gunderewo?”, he asked annoyed because it really is not considered to exist. “So much yes lo Ar, dawn-dawn gini me swerving,, pinter ya lo nyari warmth when cold gini”, said yes again insinuating.

“Lo sirik aja, right your body was already angetin the same hot coffee, and now it's my turn”, Arfin even serve Dandy's words.

“Udah ah,,, enter yuk,, it is very cold outside”, said Dandy and then they entered and sat in the living room. Dandy sat with Naz in a long chair, while Arfin sat alone in the other chair.

“Dek, you know why the hell go to Bandung do not say?, everyone is worried to know no,, Mommy also does not stop crying thinking about your situation that does not know where there is a”, Dandy immediately nyerocos as the representative council of the Mother.

“Abiasa aja, Dan, do not have to nyerongot nanya nya”, said Arfin who did not want his girl diomeli Dandy.

“The reason if I say first to Mother must not be authorized “, Naz reasoned

“Yes,, you can say no to Brother. Later if you have arrived here then Brother said to Mother, so it does not make you worry like gini,, your brother can still be invited to share kok”, said Dandy again.

“Iya Kak, I'm sorry. I was just confused where to go because my three friends were no longer on vacation, yes I went here”, Naz explained.

“Terus you want to give a reason what try to Mother? The same father Mother had almost made a report of missing people know not to the police station,, we all hope you do not meet, until nyari here, Brother until not sleeping”, and so on, Dandy really spilled his frustration.

“Yaudah lo sleep aja there,, lo kalo again sleepy rese, ngomel only, hot ears me dengernya”, Arfin nyerocos because upset lover still got nagging from Dandy.

“Apaan anyway lo ngebelain Naz only,,, we are equally less rest because of the nyariin he,, instead of supporting me lo,, I fired also lo from the position of sister-in-law”, and, threaten Dandy.

“It is impossible and will not be able to,,, adek lo it has been crazy with me, so your blessing is not nguh”, Arfin spoke with his pede while sitting leaning.

“Dih,,, bangpede…. ", Naz doesn't accept.

“Such shit lo”, Dandy even mocked.

“You are shy to admit it dear,,”, said Arfin to Naz, “Lo must believe And, besides, we are both already connected to each other,, we are,, proof I can find him here “, Arfin assured Dandy.

“Uhh basic kampret lo,,,”, Dandy throw seat cushion on Arfin. “Oh Yes Dek, why your number can not be contacted?”, Dandy again asked Naz.

“My phone is gone”, replied Naz casually.

“Hah, how come?”, asked Arfin.

“Kan, I went to Bandung on the bus, so lost while on bis”, Naz said .

“What?”, asked Arfin and Dandy so surprised.

“Yeah, deck,,, you really dare to take the bus alone”,

“You are so desperate sih”, Arfin protest.

“yaelah, stay to the terminal continue to take the bus, continue to pay, get off at leuwi panjang terminal, continue to come by taxi, until deh,, easy right?”.

“Not about easy, but your danger if you go alone that way, that's proof you lose your phone”, now Arfin who nag.

“The name is also calamity, how to know if it will be a pickpocket, – already ah, you guys are on a mouthful,, there gih sleep on sleep”, Naz is already caught off guard with the two men.

“Actually the reason you suddenly go to Bandung why the hell? You fight with Mother or how?”, asked Dandy again and Naz looks confused to answer what.

“Neng geulis,, aya saha eta meni garandeng?”, Mimih suddenly appeared and approached them to the living room.

“Neng is beautiful, who is it?".

“Ieu Mih, aya guest from Jakarta”, replied Naz

"This is Yes, there are guests from Jakarta.

“nya saha or anu namu meni wanci kieu, sugan teu hideng?”, asked Mimih astonished.

“Who's visiting at this hour, is he out of his mind?"

“Eh Mimih, kumaha reportedly damang?”, Tanya Dandy approached and greeted her Mimih.

“Alhamdulilah sae, kela-kela na ieu teh saha ".

"Good thanks, who are you?".

“Yeah Mimih,, this is Dandy,, same time grandson .

.self do not know?”, complained Dandy.

“Oh, Dandy,, his apal or pan anakna Anita, nu became apanan“ doctor, he said chuckling then Arfin approached him.

"Oh, Dandy, you know his son Anita, who became a doctor".

“Morning Mimih... “, greet Arfin with a smile.

“Eh, geuning the casep aya didieu,,,? “, ask Mimih sumringah.

"Eh, how is the handsome guy here?".

“Astagfirullah,, the same grandson himself does not recognize, the turn of each other knows, even though Dandy is also no less handsome than Arfin”, Dandi immediately protested.

“Gandeng lah, nu tara ngalongok Mimih mah is a pretender called kasep,, ieu mah bede deui majiana, ges cast by casep ieu mah ku Mimih”, Mimih said insinu.

"Silent, who never looked at Mimih, do not ask to be called a handsome, this is another matter, has been marked this handsome mah by Mimih".

“Astagfirulloh,, Mimih istigfar Mimih.. When yes grandmothers pedekate with young people, do sok nedakuneun oruh Mih, “, Dandy protested.

“Atuh keun wae Mimih menirian si kasep oge,, da nyirian na oge keur piminantueun si incu other keur pisalakieun Mimih,,,, love Mimih mah ngan saukur hiji keur Jenatna si Abah hungkul, pisalakieun Mimih, onli wan en poreper lop (only one and forever love)”, he said which invited the laughter of Naz and Dandy, while Arfin only smiled confused because he did not understand what Mimih was talking about, all he understood was the casep and the English Mimih spoke.

"Biarin aja Mimih mark the handsome too, right for the future granddaughter-in-law not to be Mimih's husband, Mimih's love is only one for the late Abah a, only one and forever love".

“Do not have to pedekate in Mimih, their people have been dating?” Dandy told me.

“Saha anu bobogohan?”, asked Mimih astonished.

“Nih two kamurut kampret”, Dandy replied while glancing at Naz and Arfin alternately.

“Badness lo, And why we curut”, Arfin protest did not accept.

“Iya ih, if I cut means Kaka Rajanya curled dong”, Naz back mocking.

“Alhamdulillah, atuh Mimih teu teu kedah cape-cape ngajanjarukeun ari tos barobogohan mah,, stay ngadaftarkeun ka KUA”,

"Alhamdulillah, means Mimih does not need to be tired of nyomblangin if it has been dating mah, just register with KUA".

“Eits,, wait Mimih,, can't do it dong, Dandy was married”, Dandy did not want to be crossed apparently.

“Marriage we, where oruh gening candidate nana teu invited kadieu,, meh manned heula ku Mimih,, wayahna wae da si Kasep anu often kadieu mah,,, ",said Mimih insinuating.

"Well married, where his future wife is not invited here, let it be taught to Mimih, sorry-sorry about the handsome who often comes here".

“Udah-ah ah chat not clear, already adzan dawn, ayok we pray dawn”, Naz disband the event gobmahan between the grandson and grandmother.

“Dek, you have to wudhu again loh, it was abis cuddle with KASEP”, Dandy quipped by emphasizing the word casep.

“Help? A tatangkeupan? Nanaz tatangkeupan jeung the casep? Astagfirullah,, hayu orurang dawn prayer, kanke ka Pak Lebe wang sina draped geura, tuman”, said Mimih while glancing sharply at the lovers, they look wrong because of shame.

"Huggling ? A hug? Nanaz hugged the handsome guy? Astagfirullah, let us pray at dawn, later we go to Pak Penghulu to be married, tuman".

They also went to the mosque which only measures 3x4 meters to perform dawn prayers. After that Dandy immediately went to the room because it was not strong enough to withstand drowsiness, while Arfin remained in the mosque for a while, after that he went to the guest room that had been prepared by Bi Asih. Mimih also returned to his room to teach there which he routinely does every day.

While Naz immediately received a call from his Mother who had previously been contacted by Dandy using his cellphone, and sure enough he got a lot of questions and nagging beyond the capacity thrown by Dandy. But he still kept what he experienced when visiting Bu Rahmi in the hospital, and reasoned to want a vacation because at home always feel lonely because everyone is always busy with work every day.

After almost half an hour on the phone, Naz then helped Bi Asih clean the house and after that they also cooked in the kitchen, because after learning to cook with Mami, she was able to cook, Naz became eager to be able to cook, yes although still help cut vegetables and seasonings only, or rake vegetables that are being cooked, while for frying he is still afraid.

And the new thing he learned today is to buy seasoning, already while sitting, keep squatting, sit again, continue to stare, so pagalnya because the spice is not smooth .

“Wah,, si Neng tos tiasa ngarendos samara jaba bari toggengan kitu, means tos manjing married atuh”, Bi Asih seduces Naz.

"Well, the Neng can already knead the seasoning continuously while looking so, it's time to get married".

“Naon ah Bi Asih mah sok ngaco ih, maenya wae abi sakola keneh tos bade married ,,, ieu samarana teu lemes-lemes geuningnya, so lose cangkeul ngagerusna ge”, Naz divert the conversation.

"What the heck Bi Asih likes to digelantur ih, when I was still in school already wanted to be married,, this is the spice is not smooth yes, so it even makes a sore stew ya too".

“Pan muhun Neng, kolot era baheula mah selamun parawan tos tiasa ngarendos means tos manjing matedkeun eta teh,, or eta Neng mah teu acan nganggo muncang, atuh moal lemes-lemes samarana teh”, said Bi Asih again.

"In fact, Neng, parents of ancient times mah if the virgin child can already melek means ready to marry it,, Neng mah has not used hazelnut, so it will not be smooth-smooth season".

“But pan ayeuna modern era, jaba tos aya invitations laws and regulations mun bade wedded tea wife yuswana at least 20 years, pameget at least 23 taun pan”, Naz explained.

"But now modern times, and again there are laws and regulations for his invitation if he will marry women aged at least 20 years, men at least 23 years right ".

“si Neng meni apalan gening, sugan tos tataros her ka KUA ?”, Bi Asih thought.

"Si Neng knows very well, have you asked questions to KUA ?".

“Pan Kak Dandy tos bade nikah Bi, so bright macaan base in na” pre-wedding guidebook, Naz explained.

" Kan Kak Dandy is already getting married, so know when reading his pre-wedding playbook".

“Aduh,, Neng is a marriage manual, eta eusina sok aya anu pulgar-an, Neng bisi reuwas, manngkan sakola keneh”, Bi Asih mewanti-wanti.

"Oh, Neng, don't read the marriage manual, it's like there's something that smells pulgar, Neng is afraid to be surprised, because it's still school".

“Hente atuh Bi, da maca na ge saalit, eta we marriage requirements hungkul, teu kahaja eta ge macaan bari iseng”, said Naz.

"Now Bi, read it also a little, it's a matter of marriage requirements, not accidentally read it too while fad".

After a while, the cooking event was finished, Naz and Bi Asih also cleaned and cleaned their cooking marks and served their dishes on the dining table. Naz approaches Mimih who is watering the plants in the yard and tells him that the food is ready, then Mimih tells Naz to wake Dandy and Arfin to eat together.

First Naz wakes up Dandy, and after he wakes up Naz goes to the guest room where Arfin sleeps with a towel, shirt and pants he took from Arsen's closet, with a new toothbrush.

Naz knocked on the door several times but there was no answer, finally Naz opened the door wide slowly, then he went in to wake Arfin.

Naz stepped closer to the bed where Arfin was sleeping, then took a chair and sat right in front of Arfin's head. Naz stared fixedly at the innocent face of the man in his heart, then rubbed the head of Arfin who was still soundly asleep.

“You must be very tired, yes, sorry I always bother and trouble you, I feel very lucky to have a man as good as you, who is always willing to do anything for me, and always patient with my behavior, you always make me love you more every day, Thank you for being present in my life and always there for me, I love you now, tomorrow, and forever,,, and,,, “, he said slowly as if he was storytelling and insulting Arfin bob.

“I also”, Arfin who still closed his eyes suddenly answered the expression of Naz's feelings and suddenly made Naz very surprised.

“Ka when did Aa wake up?”, Tanya Naz nervously because she was embarrassed and Arfin opened his eyes and rubbed his eyes slowly with his fingers, apparently to clean the chileuh, haha.

“Since you opened the door Chaya I love”, he said in a spoiled tone, then he got up to sit down.

“Ja so it was fitting that I talk Aa pura sleep?”, Naz again asked.

“Yuhuu,, it was when you approached Aa to surprise you, but it turns out that Aa was even treated to elus,, coupled with the expression of your feelings,,, so Aa just kept enjoying it, so Aa just kept quiet, when else can it be like that”, he said then chuckled.

“Sih,,, sneaky bottom,, sucks,,, “, Naz is dabbling.

“Tadi said love, now it's so bad,,, “, his protest while teasing Naz, ”But, Aa very happy to hear your love statement earlier,,, and that proves Aa's words earlier at dawn, right?”. her question is tempting.

“Which words?”, asked Naz wonder.

“If you are crazy about me,, hahaha”, Arfin says it again.

“Come, get up quickly, Mimih asked me to take a meal together,, “, said Naz then stood up, “Nih, clothes as towel, as well as a new toothbrush for Aa, liquid bath soap and toothpaste are already in the bathroom,, there you take a shower first, Aa stinks acem”, he said handed over the luggage from his hands and then squeezed his own nose to mock Arfin, who was the victim of the shower, then he immediately came out of the room.

Arfin only chuckled at the girl, and she went out to go to the bathroom.

After finishing bathing and changing clothes, Arfin joined the dining table with Mimih, Dandy and Naz to eat together, they just got together, then they ate.

As usual after finishing a meal, Naz cleaned up his former food and washed him the dirty old cutlery in the kitchen.

Naz walked to the side yard, and he saw Arfin sitting on a chair overlooking the pond, and Naz approached him.

" What else is there?", asked Naz, who sat down next to him.

" Eating fish again", he answered and smiled, then he turned his eyes to Naz, "Honey, what makes you so desperate to escape here?", arfin asked while Naz lowered his gaze, and Arfin held Naz's hand,

"You can hide that from your Father and Mother, even from Dandy, but Aa already knows what happened in the hospital when you visited Aunt Rahmi,,, Aa sorry there was no time for you, because busy at the office, you should never see Aunt Rahmi again yes dear", he said forbid.

" But A.", lirih Naz.

" Aa does not want you to continue to get bad treatment from Aunt Rahmi, even though Aa knows you are a very strong girl" he said again.

"I'm not that strong A, actually I'm very fragile and weak, all this time I've only pretended to be strong to cover up my fragility,,, you know,,, and don't know until when I can keep pretending. I'm tired of A with all this, why did destiny give me a life this complicated, A, what's my fault? what is my sin,? so I have to get love and hatred from my own family. It feels like life is unfair to me", Naz complained.

"Honey, don't talk like that, everyone loves you, including Aa,,, Aunt Rahmi doesn't hate you either, just ....... ", Arfin had not finished speaking directly cut by Naz.

"Mama hates me A, even hates me so much, she said it herself yesterday,, even, now Papa hates me, Hicks, ", Naz said, sobbing.

"What's? Om Syarief hates you?? How can you, honey? Syarief loves you so much", Arfin was in disbelief.

" That's what makes me want to go to calm down here, Papa hates me A, Papa hates me. Hix hicks" said Naz who continued sobbing and then he stood up.

Arfin stood up to Naz, "Ssssttttttt,,, no crying, maybe you're misunderstanding dear", Arfin tried to calm down.

"So that's why you ran away from home, Naz?", asked someone from behind them.
