The Toga Rahayu

The Words of Mbah Inah

After getting tired of enjoying the view of the city square of Rahayu and Reno immediately returned home, along the way to the house many hopes that Reno conveyed to Rahayu one of them wanted if Rahayu deigned to not work anymore.

Rahayu still undertakes not without reason so far most of the family's living expenses there is a big hand Rahayu hand there. If you have to stop working suddenly it will create a shock economy family.

“There's one more thing I want from you baby?”.

“What is mas? If possible I can meet for sure I will try”.

“I want a child from you, I want when I go there will be a prayer that continues to flow to me, and that can only happen if we have a child”. Reno smiled and kissed Rahayu's back several times.

“Hus must not say so if you speak well, my son's business can not promise mas all of it by his power and will, if indeed God allows us to have children yes must soon have”.

Their conversation is stopped when the reno car enters the yard of Rahayu's house. The remaining party tents are still not dismantled, some of the remaining items are still stored in any place has not been neatened again.

“Loh cah ayu cah good new manten from where?”, greet my side neighbor who we used to call mabh Inah.

Mbah Inah is an elder of Rahayu village, he lives a kara because he has no relatives. Mbah Inah also did not marry until he was very old. During this time Mbah Inah survived the compassion of neighbors around who alternated feeding each other if there was excess rizki.

In our village Mbah Inah is famous as an elder who is respected by the citizens, often many people who come to ask for prayers on Mbah Inah, mabh Inah is so alim and thick soul of the answer.

“From the square of Mbah city, go out for a moment to get fresh air”, I answered on mbah inah and headed towards him to kiss his hand, while mas Reno directly in did not follow me.

“Wah nduk manten new (new) should not go out of the house before the target (one week), even if there is something important and very urgent out of it also should not be just the two, either, there should be a brother who takes us.”. Mbah Inah said at that time.

“Why mbah”. I asked with curiosity.

“Ah there is nothing, may the wrestling God please keep in every step you”. Mbah Inah stroked my head and recited some prayers for me.

I do not understand the words mabh Inah prohibition can not leave the house before the target while my own mother also does not prohibit. If it is dangerous, the mother and father will forbid. I rushed to get into the house following Reno.

“Assalamualaikum”. Sapaku to my mother and some of the people who are still in the living room.

“Waalikumsalam, Yu there was a package he said for you in tarus Nadia in your room”.

“Who's from bu?”. Askaqua.

“Mom don't know just try to open sana”.

Without a second thought I rushed to the room impatiently wanting to open the package. Arriving in the room I have seen Reno mas lay down on the mattress using a jersey and color pants.

“Yang the name of the sender does not exist, try to open it first from your friend when college first”. Mas Reno handed me the pink package.

“Kok gemeteran ya feel, package from where try? Feelings of not sending invitations to children deh”. Inner Rahayu in heart.

The package is quite large with a pink outer cover, when opening the peratama cover Rahayu was disappointed because there was the next cover inside so on until there was one small box left of the package.

A red box and a letter.

Rahayu ventured to open the red box.

And...

A one-eyed ring with A&R name engraving inside.

Suddenly Rahayu's heart felt intense pain.

The finger lentik ventured to open a piece of paper wrapping the ring.

“Assalamualaikum Rahayu, how are you? I'm sorry that I've been missing for so long, I'm sorry that I just met you now, something terrible has happened to me over the past year.

I'm sorry, the coward who just found you after waiting so long.

If you allow me to come to your house immediately to ask your taverns permission.

Please contact me 08585752567.

Deg deg deg

Rahayu's hands did not shake reading the message.

“Yes Allah what happened to her”. Rahayu said in her heart.

From the words written alone Rahayu can conclude if the package is from her past Andika.

“How can he know my home address while I never tell him, how can he come back when this heart has been fought to name the love of the other”. I daydreamed about some tangled threads in my brain trying to break them down again.

“From whom do you love?” Ask Reno who is looking at some memory albums in Rahayu's room.

“Ah this is right your guess from my old friend du”.

Rahayu quickly put the wedding gift along with the box and keep it in the closet. Rahayu did not intend to protect Andika again, is not she now a wife.

“What is the dear of the kadonya?”.

“Mas” ring. I answered carefully I did not want any lies in my household.

“Ring?”. Ask Reno who looks surprised.

Reno's attention was not heeded the gift. Now his attention is centered on the picture of the man in the photo album Rahayu. The photo is displayed so much there in a variety of styles. What makes Reno heart curious is why at every moment the photo of the man slalu is beside Rahayu, even the look in his eyes several times caught on camera watching Rahayu.

Reno re-opened sheet after sheet of photo album memories, his heart was increasingly arrogant, the face hue of fiery jealousy saw some of the photos printed only Rahayu and the man. Yes, they are photographing the two although not in a friendly style but the look in the eyes of the two young men in the photo has shown a bond of closeness.

“Oh yes dear who is this man?”. Mas Reno refers to one of the men in the photo.

“That's my friend mas, my older brother first”.

“It looks like his face is not foreign”. Reno tried to remember the photo.

“Iya mas you have met in the past when there was an event in Batu, we gave performances of drama ala Rama, Shinta and Ravana”.

“How many photos are you two here?”.

“Ah is nothing mas only for collection only?”.

“Collection? Have you ever had a huddle?”. Asked Reno with a sharp eye like an eagle.
