The Preferred Priest Candidate

Prefixing

Nana was looking at herself in front of the mirror. Steadied himself with jeans and long-sleeved t-shirts that he was wearing. This time he chose a shirt with longer sleeves than usual, to only show his fingers. He indeed needs to protect his body from the sun, considering the place he will go this time is an arid island in the middle of the sea.

On the eighth day of Shawwal every year. Or a week from the celebration of Eid al-Fitr, the residents there held an event that they called "Shawalan". It is more commonly known as "Full Eid".

As the opening ceremony of shawl, they performed a ceremony, namely "Sedekah Laut". As a form of cultural preservation or tradition that has been done since the days of their ancestors, who were fishermen. Or to make it cooler, we can replace it with the word sailor.

Although the show is located in the middle of the sea, Nana still pays attention to her appearance. From the tip of the toenail to the end of the hair that he had covered with hijab. Even for the first time willingly Nana uses sunscreen, which she bought specifically for this event. Because he remembers who he'll meet there later.

" Mamakkk." Lyla's voice called out together with the sound of Nana's room door opening. " the antiques.(.Please read it beautiful)." Lyla continued when she saw Nana pin the brooch on her hijab in front of the mirror.

" What is it, put on a nice shirt?" Tanya Dinda who wore a different outfit 180° compared to Nana. Because he was preparing to wrestle with sea water and fine sand that he would meet on the island.

" I don't swim." Nana smile.

Kan darling, he has worked hard to beautify himself in order to make the prospective priest fascinated, yes time has the intention to dirty. Although it was the thing that Nana liked the most when coming to the sea, but this time He had to hold back. For the sake of Zen or for the sake of his beautiful makeup is enough He uses as a basic reason.

" Sana Dek, say the same Mamak. Loss, come to the sea but don't swim." Lyla imitated what Dinda taught, but it sounded like a completely obscure rant. Dinda and Nana were laughing.

" Let's go, it's the Word already here." Continue Dinda.

" Step, Ma'am !" Nana grabbed a small sling bag to hold her pocket money and her cell phone. Then it went to the kitchen.

While Dinda and Lyla choose to join others watching a large boat parade that brings young people who are demonstrating the ability to dance to the song that is tuned in the soudsystem in the boat. Despite being on the floor of the house, they can still freely see the boats speed slowly towards the sea.

" Yahoooo!!!" The sound of screaming came from the terrace of the house, because it was not able to wait for Nana to come out.

When Nana appears on the porch of the house, "Dalem, Mas! Let's leave. It will be bad luck." In a subtle tone Nana answered the cry of the Word.

" That's why it's beautiful and beautiful! Don't be a little bit of a bitch." Say the Word that is ready with color pants and T-shirts.

" God is beautiful from there, Mas. Don't think anything." Think yes. " Yes, dear Rahma." Nana kissed the baby that was held by Yuni.

Mom and Dad just laughed. Because of the words of Nana that can not be defeated that often makes Hafid and Firman khilaf to do KDRT action against his most beautiful sister.

" Mr Yuni is not coming?"

" What is it, Nduk?" Mom asked, looking at the cloth bag in Nana's hand.

" Used."

" It's brought a lot of stuff." Dinda pointed to a large cardboard box containing a hot water thermos, ice water thermos, rice thermos and side dishes. Ketupat and lepets to hang on the boat's ivory are also present.

" That one's special, Dek!" Hafid reminded Adinda.

" Oh yes ! Forgot me, Mom!"

" Hehe." Nana is ashamed of Hafid who can smell special scents in her bag.

Because it is true Hafid said, in the bag of supplies there is food that is said to be from a reliable source that is none other than Zen's mother is a snack favored by Zen. Thanks to the information that he got while at Zen's house during the night of the accident, today Nana deliberately made it special to give to Zen.

***

Zen who had completed his duties escorting the "Sea of Alms" ceremony was gathering with other village youths to fill their empty stomachs. Due to circumstances that required them to leave the island early, fulfilling their responsibility in preparing for the event also gave rise to impromptu traders there.

As his eyes stared out towards the sea, Zen immediately stopped the rice mouthful into his mouth. Then it passed leaving friends in arms and handsome it.

" Where is Zen going?" Zen walked towards the coast of the island, where the boats were leaning.

" Here, the food is over! I'm full."

From the ignorance of Zen smiled kindly at the girl he saw sitting at the front of the boat that drove slowly, because it had been shipwrecked on the surface of the sand that can be seen clearly from above sea level. Zen rolled his trousers up to his knees so as not to get wet when approaching the boat he had seen while eating with his friends.

" Why did you come first?" Ask the girl who is still on the boat.

" Well, let's welcome the arrival of the angel." Zen said to the angel who was now in front of him.

The girl's face looks reddened due to the shame that whack in her veins. And the girl pinched the flat belly of Zen, in return for the rebound thrown at her.
