THE MYSTERY OF THE FOREST
#08
Early in the morning Wati had left to meet Farhan. As usual, the bushel contains food and fried yams are always delivered as breakfast Farhan and Sumarep sir before working in the fields. The atmosphere in Farhan's hut still looked lonely. Maybe Farhan's still sleeping. After putting the rantang in the kitchen, Wati returned with a broomstick and began to clean the leaves in the yard.
Farhan's out. Seeing Farhan standing in front of the door, Wati smiled but at once her expression changed when there was something on Farhan's left cheek. Looks black and bruised. Wati approaching. Farhan tried to turn his left cheek to make Wati invisible, but Wati first held his hand.
"Your cheek is why Kak" asked Wati while continuing to pay attention to Farhan's cheek. Farhan smiled.
"Nothing dik, last night stumbled on the wall, already, will heal itself anyway," said Farhan trying to calm Wati who looks anxious.
Wati turned around and stepped towards the bushes beside the hut. There's something he's looking for. He was seen picking some leaves from the bushes. Once enough was felt, he returned to the hut. He seemed to start pounding some of the leaves he picked earlier. After a smooth, he then went out to meet Farhan. His hand began to rub the leaves he had pounded into Farhan's cheek.
Mr. Sumarep was seen from a distance. Farhan pulled Wati's hand slowly from her face. He was afraid that Mr. Sumarep saw it. Wati knew his father was coming, but he kept smearing the potion on Farhan's cheek.
"We don't do macems, you don't need to be afraid of angry father. Precisely the father will be angry if Wati does not take care of Brother," said Wati.
"Lho, you why Nak Farhan," Sumarep was shocked to see Farhan's face. Farhan smiled.
"He said last night hit the wall sir" said Wati ahead of Farhan.
"You smelled what your brother's face was," asked Mr. Sumarep.
"This is kopasanda leaves sir," replied Wati. After he felt enough, he told Farhan to sit down.
"Sit sir, Wati make coffee for a while." Wati invited Sumarep to sit down. He then stepped into the kitchen. Some bananas and fried yams in a bushel he moved into a dish. He came back and served him in front of Farhan and Sumarep.
"How can Nak Farhan hit the wall" said Mr. Sumarep. Wrapping tobacco in his pocket he took it out. He then started rolling cigarettes. Farhan smiled and joined the tobacco roll.
"Where is the house of a man named Farhan here." There was a scream from the side of the hut. Farhan and Mr. Sumarep looked at each other. After the second time the scream was heard, the two of them immediately came out, as well as Wati who was in the kitchen. He immediately met Farhan and Sumarep came out.
Mr. Haji Maemun, Bahram and Mr. Sukar are seen standing on the side of the road. Seeing Farhan and Sumarep in front, he and his two friends immediately came down closer.
"You have no manners. Shouting for no reason. You have no custom" shouted Mr. Sumarep.
"I have no business with you Sumarep. I only have business with that brash kid" Haji Maemun said as he pointed towards Farhan.
"Whoever you're dealing with, I'm here. Don't act like you're the most powerful person here. This is not like in your village," said Mr. Sumarep firmly.
"Hei Sumarep, you see this," Haji Maemun pointed towards his temple which still looked bruised. "This is due to the actions of the son of a bitch," continued Haji Maemun. Hearing Haji Maemun's curse, Farhan's blood boiled. Emotions peak. Both his hands were shaking. Sumarep held Farhan's hand. He whispered to her to restrain himself.
"Keep, what do you mean come today," asked Sumarep ferociously. Haji Maemun's gaze was sharp.
"I want to beat up that kid. I'll make him suffer more than his father, because they're both assholes." Haji Maemun. He knew Farhan would be emotional if his father called. He wanted Farhan to get angry and hit him again. That would be proof to report it to the police.
As soon as his father's name was mentioned, Farhan's emotions intensified. In accordance with Haji Maemun's plan, Farhan was provoked. Mr. Sumarep had no time to hold Farhan. Farhan's kick drifted towards Haji Maemun's head. His white skull floated and fell on the ground. Some of the people who had started to gather tried to come to break up.
"I warned you not to carry my father's name. Come back, let me chop off your head, "yout Farhan.
"Remember you, tomorrow you will be imprisoned" said Haji Maemun after holding his head for a long time due to Farhan's kick. After saying that, he invited Pak Sukar and Bahram to leave the place. During the trip, he unceasingly scolded Pak Sukar and Bahram who did not try to brush off Farhan's kick.
Farhan was still sitting bowing his head in the courtyard of his hut. Wati was still faithfully accompanying her beside him. Several times he rubbed Farhan's back, trying to calm him down. Sometimes Istighfar sounded from his mouth.
