Turning Point

FOUR

Asshollatu..

Sayup-sayup sounds of dawn echoed throughout the city of Jogja, Jogja, the morning air that still feels so cold makes some people who live in the northern zone may choose to stay under a thick blanket, curled up in search of warmth. The rooster began crowing unpretently, breaking the silence this morning.

Lintang blinked his eyes. Occasional yawning, resisting drowsiness that is still whack. Want to pull back the blanket, but as a Muslim, make him always wake up early, of course to carry out his obligations to perform dawn prayers.

He tilted his body, noticing the figure of the man sleeping beside him. Thin smile on the lips of Latitude. Seeing her husband from such a close distance. A fairly handsome face with hard lines face that looks so alluring makes Lintang unceasingly grateful to be his wife.

The latitude dipped slowly on her husband's forehead. With a soft voice, try to wake her husband to perform the morning prayers in congregation.

"Mas.. mas Agum, wake up yuk. Udah adzan nih, we pray the morning congregation yuk!", he said while slightly shaking Agum's body. The one that was awakened was just squirming his body.

"Mas. mas. mas Agum, wake up, get up later in the afternoon", continued Lintang by shaking her husband's body even harder.

Agum started to open his eyes while raising his hand trying to stretch his muscles.

"What time is this deck?" he asked, trying to sit on the bed

"Hour 4 mas, let's get up, we pray at dawn together", replied Lintang while getting out of bed.

Before stepping his foot, with a lightning motion, Agum pulled Lintang's hand, then..

Cup...

"Morning kiss, baby", he said, while peeping Lintang's lips and forehead. The one being kissed only blushed in embarrassment, with cheeks that were already blushing red.

The latitude passed leaving Agum who was still with his mischievous smile. Then go to the bathroom to get water. Before long Agum also moved and followed the latitude.

Two prayer mats have been placed on the floor of the room Lintang. A pair of solemn men appeared in prostration as well as their prayers. Prayers that are always offered so that the Maha grasps the life always gives the blessing of the warahmah for the household ark that they are living today.

***************

After breakfast with the family, Lintang went back to the room. Today is the day Lintang moves with Agum to his new contract. The contract is not far from the current Latitude house, maybe only a range of 10 minutes has arrived.

Ranti's mother Mimin plans to participate, considering Agum is the only child of Ranti's mother, while Ranti's mother's husband was gone when Agum was 23 years old.

"Sir, you just bring your clothes. Later in the new contract we already have furniture-house furniture that has been bought and stored while in the house om Heru, maybe later in the afternoon they have arrived to deliver it", he said while helping Lintang pack his clothes.

"Well, I answered"

Lintang continued its activity of folding clothes on the mattress. He looked at the clothes he had. A style of clothing that may not be current. Every day Lintang uses a veil. And the clothes he has are just ordinary models. Long skirts and long tops.

Latitude does not know much about the current trend. Because since long ago, he only looks perfunctory. Remembering he only comes from a simple family. So to just buy new clothes he can do once a year, which is when Lebaran arrives.

Agum narrowed his eyes towards his wife.

"Why are you so nervous?, asked Agum

Agum cupped his hands together on Lintang cheeks, brought his face closer, looking at the two Latitude eyeballs sharply.

"Dec, mas never minded that, I accept you for who you are, no matter what your physical form is" he replied with full decisiveness

"T-but mas...."

"Already the deck, beauty, dress model, hair model we can change, most importantly you have good character and sincere life together. Tomorrow if there is more sustenance, mas will buy you clothes and makeup tools" he continued cutting Lintang speech

Oohhh how grateful Lintang is to have a husband like Agum. He did not expect that Agum had such mature thoughts. Yes, Lintang does not have a beautiful face, just mediocre, his body also tends to be a little contained, not good at dressing up, also his clothes look outdated. But Agum again assured that he did not see the Latitude physically. His kindness and kindness is what he sees. It is very rare for a man to have such a mindset in this day and age.

Finally the Lintang shirt has gone into all the suitcases. He pulled his suitcase into the yard. There was parked a silver car. The car does not belong to Agum but belongs to Agum's friend whom he accidentally borrowed for Lintang's move as well as his mother to his new contract.

"Mom, Lintang say yes", said Lintang say goodbye to his mother while kissing the back of his mother's hand. Ratih's mother can only nod while shedding tears

"Nak Agum, the mother of Latang ya son, please take care of the latitude of the inner birth, also guide Lintang so that he can be a good wife for you and a good daughter-in-law for your mother" pinta Ratih's mother to Agum

"Inshaallah ma'am, Agum will carry out this trust well. I'm also Friska healthy here. Agum promises to always allow the Lintang deck to visit here", replied Agum while kissing the back of Ratih's mother's hand as well.

Lintang, Agum, Ranti's mother also Mimin got into the car. Agum started the engine of his car and the car moved slowly out of the Lintang home area.

Still in the rice field area that makes the eyes cool to see, the car driven by Agum is still driving. Ten minutes later, they finally arrived in front of a house with a minimalist design.

They entered the house. A house that has 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, living room, family room and kitchen adjacent to the dining room.

Agum did deliberately choose a contract that has one package with his furniture. So he just fill with home furniture such as, refrigerator, washing machine, also television.

Ranti's mother and Mimin entered the room indicated by Agum and Lintang also entered the room that will be his room with Agum.

Lintang laid his body on the bed trying to unwind the fatigue he felt. Although today he did not do strenuous activities, but since the event yesterday his body still feels tired.

"Rest the deck, just wait for Heru to come, sleep if you want to sleep" said Agum approached Lintang while sitting on the bed

"It's okay if you stay asleep, hehe feels tired mas" he replied with a laugh

"Yes, baby, go to sleep. After all, you have to take a lot of breaks this afternoon because________" he said hanging

"Indeed why mas?", asked Lintang curiously

"Because it's late at night, you need extra energy for our first night ritual that was delayed, hehehe" he replied with a chuckle.

Hearing the word of the first night, immediately made Lintang face meet red.

"Iiiiihhhh mas said what the hell.", he said embarrassed. Agum hugged Lintang's body, and kissed his wife's cheek.

"Already deck, go to sleep. Sleep well yes", continued Agum while tasting the lips of Lintang.
