The Widow of Bahenol

Yati.

"Sir, where's Yati Tea? And that's why your room window is open?' rose asked, as her right hand pointed towards the window.

Bidin got up from his seat and turned towards the window.

His feet stepped up to the top of the bed to close the window.

"Let's find Yati tea at Aki's house huh," replied Bidin.

But Bidin's answer did not make Rose relieved, because his Father did not answer where his stepmother was.

The Rose Eyes still roamed into every corner of the space, hoping that he would gain Yati's existence.

But alas, until they were in front, Roses did not see Yati's whereabouts.

Bidin started the engine, but Rose asked again,

"Sir, where's Yati tea? Why did you leave him? You should wait for Yati tea first."

Bidin fell silent, but the look in his eyes turned towards the Rose.

"You don't understand, son, your stepmother just left us" she said.

"Bidin got on his motorbike and said,

" Come quickly ride Neng, Neng can ride behind the Father?"

The rose was excited and answered,

"May dong sir, the rose is already great."

Bidin also carried Jasmine and sat him in the front position. Melati's hand holds the handlebar.

While Rose sat behind while hugging her father's body tightly.

Bidin also began to advance his motor bututnya, but directly in the barrier by Arum, who was sweeping the yard at that time.

"Stop Kang, stop. Where are the kids and I going to go on the pisan gel?"

asked Arum suddenly.

Bidin was surprised to see the existence of Arum which suddenly blocked his journey.

"Rose wants to go for a walk Tea, Come on sir, a splinter, later to the afternoon hunt," replied the Rose.

"Let's Rum, make sure to go first" said Bidin.

Bidin also returned his vehicle. Then Arum shouted, too,

"Where is Kang? Why not bring it?'

Arum's voice disappeared after Bidin drove his vehicle further away.

The eyes of the Rose looked to the right and to the left, many people passing by. They also passed a food stall.

The vehicle that Bidin rode his speed was not too fast.

The eyes of the Roses lead to a food stall they pass by that is on the side of the highway.

Unintentionally, the eyes of the Rose were fixed on a figure sitting there, the figure of a woman with long hair, semok.

Until Roses turned their head continuously towards the waru g until the motorbike he was riding passed through the stall and away.

The rose fell silent for a moment and then remembered. Suddenly his mouth said slowly, yes, very slowly. Bidin did not hear it.

"Teh Yati" said the Rose.

Unintentionally, the handling of both hands of the Rose loosened in felt by Bidin.

Worried that his son fell, Bidin also called Roses who were still in the back seat,

"Neng, Neng Roses, how not to hold the Father? Come on Neng fasten again the handle, soon we reach Aki's house."

Without saying a word, Roses hugged Badin's body again, even he tightened his curves. The two hands of the Rose are circled to the waist of the Bidin.

The motor continues to drive. A few moments later, they arrived at Kang Ibing's house

At that time Asep was taking out some of his chickens from the cage. While Ratmi is sweeping the yard of his house is quite spacious.

And kang Ibing was nagkring on a bamboo bale, he was enjoying his tobacco cigarette in his own back, along with a cup of coffee and boiled cassava.

And Usep, their last child, was busy sweeping the floor of the room in the house.

They share tasks, and they routinely do them.

Their eyes looked at the arrival of Bidin and his children. They immediately welcomed him.

Bisin gave his regards, please,

"Assalamu'alaikum."

"Wa alaikumsalam," replied the whole house.

The bidin got off the motor.

Ratmi opened the Bamboo fence of their house, and Asep immediately stepped his foot closer.

Asep lowered the Rose that sat in the back seat. Don't forget he shook hands with Bidin.

"Healthy Kang?" ask Asep.

"Alhamdulillah Sep, Akang and children are healthy," replied Bidin.

They went in and sat down at the bale mambu.

Bidin also greeted Kang Ibing and Ratmi.

After greeting his father-in-law's mother, Bidin again sat in a bamboo bale.

Mang Ibing's eyes were full of probes, his eyeballs were rolling, as soon as he went home with his wife, Ratmi.

Ratmi's eyes were full of investigation. Both of Ratmi's eyes also twisted, the two of them did not see the whereabouts of Yati, their daughter.

But deliberately their attitude was a little indifferent, they did not immediately ask the whereabouts of Yati, because they began to understand the state of the child's household.

To break the silence, Ratmi offers a coffee on his queen,

"Don's son wants coffee?"

At that time Bidin was a little dreamy. But Ratmi's voice had awakened her from the reverie, the,

"Oh yeah, don't bother."

"Ah you Kang, ordinary, do not need to be awkward here, this is your home-in-law, means the same as your father's mother," said mang Ibing.

Without even being told, Bidin understood about it.

Ratmi oun went inside immediately. His feet moved towards the kitchen. He immediately started a fire in a pile of firewood.

While Rose and Jasmine began to play in the court with Asep and Usep.

The rose holds a bowl containing chicken food, while Melati throws chicken food to the ground, while but accompanied by Usep.

Usep's eyes looked to the right and to the left, he looked for the whereabouts of his older sister.

"A', where's Yati tea, why don't you come? How come there's no Usep?"

Asep glanced right and left, then answered his sister's question.

"Husss, do not have to interfere in people's affairs, already, justin aja, want a cake or not, you do not have to ask, justin aja. Pretend it's important we take care of these boys."

Usep was silent to Asep's words.

"What happened to Yati tea? Lier ey is adult affairs," he murmured inwardly.

Usep also back to play with Melati.

Looks Rose and Melati are very happy to play with their two uncles.

Although their two uncles were step-uncles, Asep and Usep were very fond of Roses and Jasmine.

Ratmi finished making black coffee for his son-in-law, Bidin.

Ratmi immediately went outside to bring a black coffee cup and a plate of boiled cassava, he put it in front of his daughter-in-law, then sat down to join.

Ratmi sat next to Kang Ibing. Then he asked about Yati.

"Son Badin, I didn't see Yati, where did she go? Why don't you come here?"

Bidin's face changed immediately. There is sadness there. Ratmi and Mang Ibing also saw the sighting. Ibing and Ratmi looked at each other.

Bidin takes a deep breath, and exhales slowly.

Ratmi and Mang Ibing saw it. It is very clear that at that time Bidin state was not okay.

"Yati_" Bidin was silent for a moment.

"Why Nak Bidin? What's going on?" ask Ratmi curiously.

"Sir, what's wrong with our son?' ratmi asked at Ibing Mang.

Mang Ibing's face turned slightly sangar.

Ratmi also saw the change in her husband's face, she was afraid if her husband suddenly became angry.

" Yati is gone, Yati stopped by sir, Mom!" bidin said with a depressed voice.

"WHAT? YATI MINGGAT?" ask Mang Ibing and Ratmi at the same time.

Bidin bowed, his two eyeballs began to dew.

Kang Ibing straightened his body, then he asked,

"How can I stop by? Why don't you prevent it? Didn't you see it?"

A series of questions were asked by Mang Ibing.

Seeing Ibing's mange, Ratmi then patted her husband on the shoulder, so that he realized her outrageous attitude towards her daughter-in-law.

When Ratmi patted her shoulder, Kang Ibing turned her head, then Ratmi blinked one eye.

Realizing his wrong attitude, Kang Ibing lowered his shoulders, and said, again,

"Sorry Kang Bidin, I got carried away."

Bidin began to raise his face. Ratmi and Mang Ining also saw Bidin's face that looked sad.

Then to convince Bidin that he was very upset with all his questions, he said again, Mang Ibing,

"Once again I'm sorry Kang, I don't mean to be angry with Kang Bidin."

Bidin let out a long sigh, then said,

"It's okay, sir, if you and Mom are angry with me. Indeed, maybe I should be angry, because it is not wise to educate the wife. As a husband, I have tried to love Yati the best. All my housework was done, even I forbade him to cook. Bair I just went home teaching me to do. I've never been rude, never even forced anything."

They also remained silent for a moment.

While the existence of Yati there is a food stall, where there many young people gather and talk to each other.

Among them there are pairs, there are also those who do not, including Yati.

Yati is one of the unpaired ones. They enjoy fried food and fresh tea.

They not only talk to each other, but those who are with their partners aka with a boyfriend, they do not feel shy or embarrassed making out in public.

There were also some migrants who stopped at the stall, among the brands that stopped by, most of the people passing from the next village who were going to the other village.

Among the migrants who stopped, named Ujang.

Since Ujang came to the food stall, he saw Yati who was talking with the shop owner.

"Why are you alone Yati? Where's your husband?"

tanya Sukaisih, the owner of the shop.

"Udahlah Teh, do not ask questions about Kang Bidin, Yati was here to enjoy the solitude of Yati, so do not ask the people of the house or Teh, dizzy Yati!" answer Yati just anyone.

Then Yati asked Sukaikan something, and,

"Teh, Yati ask for fresh tea, big glasses yes Tea."

Yati also sat down with her chin.

Suddenly from a distance, Yati saw Asih with a young man walking towards the stall.

Arriving at the stall, Asih was surprised to see Yati who was sitting alone.

"Eh, who are you, Yat?" tanya Asih was curious.

"You see who I am!" answer Yati with a ketus.

He sat down with the young man.

Yati's face was still pouting, then Asih introduced the young man to Yati.

"Na, know this my friend," Asih said to the young man.

The young man reached out his hand to introduce himself. Lazily, Yati welcomed him.

"Yati," said Yati.

"Nana" said Nana, the young man who was with Asih briefly.

From across the table, Ujang watched their conversation. Looks like Yati is being lazy to have a conversation.

Finally, Asih stopped him. Asih invites Nana to enter the stall, because Asih felt that at that time Yati's attitude was not friendly,

"Na, let's just go inside yuk."

Nana also nodded.

Moments later, Ujang ventured to move from his seat.

He sat at the table opposite Yati.

"Excuse me Tea, can I sit here?" ask Ujang.
