The Widow of Bahenol

The Widow of Bahenol
Ujang gives hope.



A week passed. And sure enough, Ujang came again. But the ink times he came only alone, without both parents, who introduced him as his parents.


Ujang this time using his sport motorbike, a new output motorbike, which during his time, the motorbike was very good and coolest to Indonesia, and only Ujang had it in the village.


Ujang stopped his bike right in front of Yati's house. He started looking, then got off his bike.


Because in his day was not obliged to wear a helmet, at that time Ujang did not wear a helmet.


After getting off his motorbike, Ujang walked closer to the bamboo fence of the Ibing mang house. Then he saluted,


"Assalamu'alaikum."


The atmosphere at the time looked lonely. It was still 7pm. Then Ujang again greeted, "Assalamu'alaikum."


As it turned out, mang Ibing and his family were at the back, brands gathered there, while enjoying tea and stew.


Asep heard the sound of people greeting. Asep sharpened his hearing, because he was afraid of hearing wrong.


Apparently, when Ujang gave greetings for the third time, Asep was convinced, that outside there were indeed people who came and gave greetings right in front of his house.


"Sir, there are people out there greeting," Asep said reassuringly.


"Us, please look there," mang Ibing ordered at Usep.


Usep got up from his seat, and walked into the front door of the house.


While Mang Ibing and his children and wife were talking about Ujang's proposal for Yati.


"Then, do you want to accept it or not? Let the Father and Mother deliver later, it is also if the money comes again," asked Mang Ibing.


Suddenly Asep returned to the back room, where Mang Ibing and the others were still gathered, Asep turned to look at Mang Ibing and told him something,


"Sir, there's a guest."


Mang Ibing turned his head towards Asep who was still standing at the door, while Ratmi, Yati and Isep turned towards Asep with various questions.


But they did not immediately throw the question out of their minds.


And they did not want to ruin the quiet atmosphere of the night.


"Who's the guest?" asked mang Ibing, frowning.


"Ehm... Anu sir, that's, um... Asep was silent for a moment.


Seeing Asep's attitude, Mang Ibing immediately stood up and stepped inside the house.


Ratmi followed him from behind. 'Who is the guest?" ask Ratmi.


"Well, I saw it myself, Asep did not say who the guest was, but I guess who the guest was" replied Mang Ibing.


"Ibun also bet sir who is the guest, but the young hopefully a guess Mother misses," said Ratmi.


Mang Ibing smiled amusedly at his wife's remark and said, "Mother, however we should appreciate guests."


But Ratmi was only speechless to hear her husband's reviews.


Mang Ibing peeked out from behind the window, then he explained the breath, and slightly held it in.


Mang Ibing drew closer to the wife's ear and whispered, "Our spatial guest tonight is Ujang."


Ratmi also took a breath, and held back a little.


Because it's true ats conjecture, if the guest tonight is Ujang. Why so? Because that night was exactly one week, after his beloved the other day.


Mang Ibing opened the door, and greeted Ujang, "Eh Nak Ujang, please sit down."


Ujang even fell silent when in pecilakan sitting, because their position is still in front of the house.


Ujang asked Mang Ibing,


"Here sir?" Mang Ibing nodded softly as he replied, "yes here, in the hot, hot air, mending we just chat in front, it's okay Nak Ujang?"


"Oh yes sir, it is okay, it does not matter to me, wherever you invite me to sit, it is an honor for me, and I really appreciate it" said Ujang, with a face that still looks confused.


Mang Ibing sat on a bamboo bale, and Ujang followed.


"Come on Nak Ujang, please sit down, what do you need at night to come here?"


Asked by his father Yati, Ujang was silent, as if mang Ibing did not know the direction of his arrival.


The jaw corrected his seat, upright, and began to regulate his breathing.


"So, look sir, my arrival this time, want to collect answers from Father and Mother, about my application to the daughter of Father and Mother, namely Yati. Is my application accepted or not? If my application is accepted, I am grateful, and but if my application is rejected, please give me an explanation so that I am not curious, what is the reason for the rejection," replied Ujang at length explaining.


Mang Ibing turned his head towards Ratmi, who was still standing in front of the door. Meanwhile, Ratmi turned to her husband, and they threw eyes at each other.


"So this is Nak Ujang, we have asked Yati, but until now he has not given an answer. Just be patient Nak Ujang, maybe Yati needs time to think longer," said Mang Ibing.


Frowning his forehead, Ujang asked, "Until when should I wait for an answer from Yati Pak? Napak day tempo says ask for one week, eh sskatanga why even add time sir? Or_"


Ujang stopped his words.


He realized that his attitude was out of control.


Ujang tried to control his attitude, by starting to take a breath.


Ujang took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. Ratmi saw that. In his heart he grumbled, "Great restlessness really wants to rush, really cool!"


Disliked by Ujang's attitude, Ratmi went inside without saying any more.


Ujang only saw Ratmi's behavior, he thought, Ratmi went inside the house to tell Yati to come out, to meet him.


To divert his attention, Ujang again chatted with mang ibing.


"Maap Pak, if you get an answer from Yati and Yati receive my proposal, you want me to bring cooking money how much? Anyway I do not want you to also pay, let me bear all," said Ujang, holding a smile.


Hearing Ujang's statement, Mang Ibing only smiled faintly. Straightening his legs, Mang Ibing said, "The appearance is mah, can be arranged, which is important how the decision of Yati, my son. If the matter of the kitchen money mah, talked about later, I am ashamed if I have talked at length about the kitchen money, uh it turns out Yati refused with the application of Nak Ujang, will I be embarrassed, I became embarrassed, he he he. And I don't feel good about Ujang, either. So mending later sajah talked about it."


"But, about a year later, Father and Mother ask what gift from me? God willing, I will give something to you and Mom, as a sign of my gratitude, for accepting me as a daughter-in-law" asked Ujang, who was still looking for a way to get sympathy from her future father-in-law.


Mang Ibing laughed, he did not directly answer Ujang's question. Mang Ibing continued to laugh, and left Ujang astonished.


Because of his curious feelings, Ujang then asked, "Loh, why are you laughing? Do you think I'm just kidding? Or do you think I exist?"
