The Widow of Bahenol

Prejudice.

Bidin turned his body, he was about to come out to take the key of his motorbike which is still stuck on the handlebars of the motor.

Bidin was surprised to see Yati who was already in front of him.

"Yati's? I don't know if Yati has come home. Yati from where? Arum said, you're playing to Asih's house?"

tanya Bidin.

Yati did not answer him, she just nodded her head then lowered her head.

Then Bidin told her to go inside,

"Let's go in Yat, it's hot outside."

Without lifting her face, Yati entered the house. Yati passed by Arum who was sitting on the floor holding a rose.

Yati went inside without saying anything.

He went straight into the room and closed the door.

The rose was about to wake up from Arum's lap, but Arum immediately prevented it.

"Where are you going? I've been here with Teteh, playing with Teteh," said Arum.

Bidin saw a strange gelagat on Arum. Bidin then told Arum to go home.

"Arum, thank you for taking care of the children of Akang, Arum can now go home, Akang wants to take the children to take a nap," said Bidin.

Arum's face changed, he did not expect that he would be subtly expelled by Bidin.

The bidin called the rose,

"Come Roses, from earlier you sit on the lap of Arum Tea, Arum tea may object, you are already big, your body is heavy."

The rose came out of Arum's lap. He immediately ran inside to look for Yati.

Roses called and searched for Yati, shouting,

"Teeeeeh, Teteeeeeeeh, Teteh where is it?"

Hearing her name called by her son, Yati was forced out of the room.

Yati opened the room door slowly, then let out her head while her eyes rolled.

Then Yati saw the rose standing.

Seeing that Yati was only looking at her head, Roses immediately ran over.

Yati also lowered her body while hugging the Rose. Yati was crying in the arms of the rose.

Not long after, Yati let go of her embrace. Rose looked at her stepmother's face and asked,

"Teh Yati is angry with the Rose?"

Yati smiled and shook her head, as both her hands dried her puffed cheeks as it was wet with tears.

Then the rose asked again,

"Why does Teteh cry? Is Teteh angry with Teh Arum?"

Yati was silent for a moment, then she nodded her head.

It turned out that Bidin from earlier noticed the two of them while carrying Melati who was already asleep.

Yati had just realized that Bidin had been present near them.

Bidin immediately called the Rose and invited her to take a nap.

"Roses, let's go to noon with the Father, let Teh Yati rest too. It'll be tonight to make it," Bidin asked.

As the rose approached Bidin, he held Bidin's hand.

Bidin also herded her into the children's room.

Bidin put Jasmine slowly, then told the Rose to immediately go up to the bed.

"Let's go, sleep first, wake up later in the afternoon," Bidin asked.

The rose obeyed the order of Bidin.

After the Roses got into bed, and hugged the bolster, Bidin said back to the Roses, saying,

"Bobo yes son, I want to see Yati Tea first."

The rose nodded, and immediately closed both eyes.

Bidin got out of bed and walked to his room.

He saw Yati turning her body towards the wall.

Bidin oun approached and sat down on the side of the bed. Then Badin asked in a soft voice,

" Why are you crying?"

Yati heard Bidin's voice, but she kept turning her body towards the wall.

If Bidin tried to seduce him, Bidin said again,

"You know, Yati's not sleeping, is she?"

Hearing Bidin's question, Yati still did not pester her. She still turned her body away from her husband, the Bigin.

Then Bidin approached and hugged Yati from behind. Spontaneously Yati patted Bidin's hand, so as not to hug his body.

"What's wrong? How come Yati is angry with Akang? Kasitau or wrong Akang where?" tanya Bidin was curious.

Finally Yati turned her body and sat down.

Her tears continued to pour down her puffed cheeks. Yati turned to Bidin, drying her wet cheeks.

"Yati before Akang, Akang believes the same word Arum tea. Arum's tea talk was all Kang's lie,"

said Yati, crying sobbing.

Then Yati said again,

"From that day Yati came home, Kang. Yati heard all what Arum tea said. He's evil! He also lied to Yati. He said he met Asih at the market, and Asih was with his new girlfriend. He said, Asih nyariin Yati. And He sent Yati to Asih's house. He also nawarin his services, if he wants to take care of the children, then Yati go not wait for Akang to come home first."

Bidin poured down her body beside Yati who was still crying a mouthful.

"Teh Arum is evil! It turns out Asih doesn't know Yati, Kang. In fact, Asih said earlier, he did not meet Arum tea, even Asih said to Yati, you how the hell, I never went to the market! I'm ashamed of Kang!"

yati said complaining.

Because of Yati's loud voice and heard until the children's room, Roses finally opened his eyes. Then he got out of bed.

The rose came out of the room and walked towards Bidin's room.

Seeing a shadow, Yati turned to the door. He saw the rose standing there.

"Here Brother Rose, come in," Yati asked.

Then Yati said again,

"Can you ask the Rose, just now you're pinching your thighs with Arum Tea?"

Silent rose. But suddenly his eyes began to tear.

"So far from standing in front of the door. I saw Arum tea pinch your thigh, didn't I? People see for themselves clearly. But it was Teteh again horrified the chat of the same Father Teh Arum, all that tea Arum told the Father was a lie, right, Rose?"

The tears of the rose began to fall. Bidin looked at her, immediately he hugged the Rose and said,

"Maapin Bapak ya Nak, I have not been able to take care of you."

Hearing Bidin's words, Yati lowered her head, as she felt guilty, already leaving behind Roses and Jasmine.

"Teh apologize yes, have already left you, but really nyesel," said Yati.

The rose also nodded. Then Bidin spoke up, saying,

"Just from now on anyone who comes, including Arum tea, whatever their interests, do not open the door. Unless that guy's from your family, or mine."

Yati also nodded. Whereas before, Yati had been reminded also by Badin about this, about who came, and who deserved to be opened the door and who could be allowed to enter. In addition to family, whatever needs do not open the door, including close neighbors.

This includes Yati's negligence, and being able to trust people who have clearly done evil.

Then Biidin reminded me that he had said the same thing,

"Well, didn't I tell you I was waiting? You are now an adult Yat, you should be more able to take care of yourself, including Arum, your attitude must be firm, so he can not play you."

Yati fell silent, her eyes began to glaze back.

Yati is back hot. His heart trembled when Bidin again called the name Arum.

"Didn't I believe in Yati?! Why would I trust Arum more?" ask Yati.

Bidin got up and sat down.

While the Rose climbed onto the bed and sat on Yati's lap.

"I don't believe the same Arum said. The proof is that I'm not angry with you. I saw something like something, I pressed it on you, you also Rose, if there is no Father, do not open the door, anyone who comes, except the same battery that came, or mamang, sister of Teh Yati, okay?"  the word Bidin emphasizes, on Yati and Bidin.

Bidin stroked Yati's hair, then then said back,

"Yes, don't cry anymore, Akang believes the same Yati. Akang not forbid Yati play, you can play Yati, but it would be nice if you play do not bring the children, and wait for me to go home first. Lagian Akang not long, the most until dzuhur aja."

Yati lowered her head. Bidin's speech made Yati afraid, because of Yati's prejudice, Bidin was angry, but not.

Bidin got up from his seat and walked out of the room. He sat in the living room.

The living room is rarely occupied, because the active room is a side room, where if after the Maghrib in use for the study of children and adolescents.

While Bidin often spend the time of the living room if he feels something that disturbs his heart.

Bidin sat, and pensive in the living room. He was thinking about the problems his family was currently facing.

Bidin thought, after he married Yati, Arum's behavior was different. Like he wants to mess with his little family.

It has been two horrendous events, even the first incident, to invite residents around. And that was all Arum.

Bidin continued to think about it.

Suddenly his mind was implied,

"Is Arum jealous? Did Arum intentionally want to ruin my marriage to Yati?"

Bidin scrunched his forehead. He continued to ponder, palpate, and flashback.

According to Bidin, before he married Yati, there was not a single piece of Arum's behavior that showed that Arum liked him.

Indeed, if he teaches, children are often entrusted to Arum. But it's common. Because Arum is known to residents as a daycare for children, if there are residents who do not have time to take care of their children, when parents want to go to the fields.

Therefore, Bidin often entrust his children to Arum when he will teach.

Bidin was so sure that Arum was a good daycare. Not only once, but often Bidin entrust Roses and Jasmine, while there are no complaints from his children, there are no complaints from Roses and Jasmine from things that are less pleasant.

"But why is it different now? Why is Arum now a riot in his household?" bidin Thought.
