THE DASHING MAN LEFT (PART 6)



“You brought Peciku?”


ask zulfa


            He took it from the closet and gave it to him


to me.


            I put my peck on neatly, and after that I


see Zulfa who is complete with his Muslim clothes wrapped


hijabs. I was really stunned by the beauty of her who became many times


with clothes like that. He hasn't worn a hijab all this time, he just


wear only when praying.


“You are so beautiful with


your hijab,” my praise is honest with her.


            She's staring.


“We haven't had time


to tease each other, guests must have been crowded who came, we better hurry


down,” replied with a timid expression.


            I just laughed, and then I held her hand and we


walk downstairs.


            There were many guests present, me too


looking at my Cousins, Andre who was with my brother Rudy, and Adrian who


I was with my mom sitting on the couch. We both joined them.


Adrian who saw us immediately shook hands with me and Zulfa.


“So she's your wife Nugy?”


he asked with a smile to Zulfa.


“Why? You're a surprise to me


can you have a beautiful wife? Even though I'm not as experienced as you are about


woman?” I replied cynically with a smile.


“Hahahaha, shucks you,”


reply


            And we both laughed.


I


not close to my other cousins, but with Adrian I was very


close, 'cause we were one-in-a-fight when we were in college, it's just me


graduated first while he graduated one year later, after which he went straight


take the S2 in Australia, and soon he'll be done too.


            Adrian is actually a smart kid, but not like me,


he was always busy with some of his women when he was in college. He has


habits of living while in college. But that changed when his father


he died in an accident while on his way to his home in Jakarta


to meet him. It was because of this that he was devastated and began to change


bad habits, so it can be a better child like now.


“You know Zulfa, your husband


this is a very lame person when it comes to women when we


college first,” show off as if nostalgic.


            Zulfa just smiled listening to Adrian speaking.


“I've brought him to


one of the elite bars in Jakarta, but he was cold sweat when


see a lot of women in sexy clothes. And he just slammed a glass


contains the beer I gave him..”.


“Then he pulled me


coming home and beating me up all over, I didn't feel it at all,


but when I realized the next morning my whole body was very sick and my face was blue-blue


as a result of this badass.”


            I just smiled as if I had seen it


familiar with Zulfa who is busy listening to his story.


“Then I was not happy and


challenging him to fight, but still I lost,” he said with a laugh afterwards.


            Zulfa laughed when he heard it.


I


so remembering that incident, I was angry with him because he lied to me, he


telling me just wanted to take me to a cool, relaxing place, but


he just took me to a place like that. For him, that place is


nice and relaxing place but for me it's not. That's why I pulled it


go home and beat him at home, than I beat him up at the bar can


gravely.


“You want to feel it


again?” I said I offered my fist to him with a cynical smile.


“Ya is not lacking


hajar,” answered annoyed.


“Hahaha then


shut up,” reply.


            Then we who were there also laughed no exception Mother


and Aunt Ida saw our meeting after a long time without seeing each other.


“Come son, you have to give


a word of welcome to welcome all who are already present.” tell Mom to me.


            As soon as this surprised me, I didn't tell


to me that I should give a welcome word, I did not prepare it.


“Why should I Bu?”


            Mom looked at me in wonder.


“Rudy only, so good


he has not been to anything,” my connection is upset.


“Apaan si lu bang, whichever


maybe the cave can, besides you have often spoken, too, pesantren child,”


his reply was more upset


“Yaudah, this is why you


learn, and this has nothing to do with pesantren or not,” I reply


any more.


            We argued with each other in front of our family


seeing us like children because no one wants to give up.


“Already,” said Mother while staring


angry with both of us.


            We both fell silent and scared.


“I did it


if you don't want to, what else do you need to prepare, all this time you too


often make speeches without preparation.” continued Mother who has begun to be upset.


            I also felt guilty.


“Iya yes Ma'am, let me


just,” I replied slowly


“That dong,” reply my sister


while showing his annoying face.


“Rudyyyyy,” Mother


rebuking.


“Iya Ma'am,” she replied scared.


“Hahaha rasain lu,” says


to Rudi feeling victorious.


“Nugyyy,” Mom so


reproving me.


“Iyaa sorry buk,” answered me


slow down.


            The whole house laughed at us who were silent


scared because Mom scolded us. After all this time, it's my first time


and my sister fought like a child.


Subsequent to


we also prepared to find our seats. I


see many people who are already present with a neat sitting position to


waiting for this event to start. They are so crowded, they make something


become nervous instantly. But Zulfa calmed me down.


“You can definitely love,”


he said and left me.


            I also smiled a little.


            Female and male seating are distinguished, the crest


as for the people present, we have to provide a place outside the house


with a chair that has been arranged neatly. I became very honored by the large number


the people who are here tonight, it makes me happy and excited,


although I was nervous at first.


            Ustadz who will memipin Ta’ziah is present, and


sit next to the Papa inside. The event opened with a welcome


from me first. It's very hot, so I decided not to


Long-term, so that you can join Rojali, Adrian, Rudy my brother and


some of my relatives I know are like Om Ali.


            I opened my speech with greetings.


            Asslamualaikum wr


My presence here is none other than


as representatives of our extended family to say thank you


very deep for the willingness of all guests present or who can not


present in Ta’ziah tonight. I apologize for the guests who had to sit down


outside because this house is not too big to accommodate all of us.


            For the first, the,


I would like to remind you again, if my beloved father had any


in debt with anyone, I beg you to meet me after this.


I don't want that to be


a charity barrier that my father had done in his lifetime.


For the second, don't forget me


apologizing for all the mistakes made by my father


I told everyone, as his eldest son, I was ready to make up for it all.


            I don't know what to say


again, I just ask the whole please give the best prayer for


My father, and I'm sorry if my father's death confuses most people.


My father died of cancer, and I was the only one


people who had no knowledge of my father's illness before. Which I am


knew my father was a man who was always healthy, strong, gallant, and always kept


all the pain behind his smile.


            For some people who admire


my father, please forgive me, because as his eldest son, I did not


I can do a lot about his illness. If there are some people who


hate him so much, I plead so much, please do not leave it to him


my father is dead, and not to my helpless mother, and neither


to my brother who is still innocent. But bestow upon me his firstborn


unable to do anything.


            Thank you for everything


his attention. There's not much I can say, more or less


beg pardon. Let us continue our event led by Ustadz Zakariah.


Assalamualaikum wr.


            I gave the mic to Ustadz, and I left


stand up to get out, because I can't get inside full of ambiance


haru after hearing my speech earlier. Many were crying and the rest


they held their cries. But I myself cannot show


my tears in front of the crowd, just like my dashing father, even him


always smiling when her death comes, I must be stronger than her,


so that he would be proud of me.


I


he walked out and sat down next to Om Ali and Rudy


my right. Om Ali rubbed my back, rubbing his cheek tissue, it seemed


she was crying too. And my brother Rudy must have cried too.


“Large body, don't


crying,” said I smiled at him while rubbing his head.


“Open your yasin,” tell me.


            He nodded and then lowered his head. She didn't


she wants to show me her tears.


You're a big boy, apparently,


I said in my heart.


            We also started this ta’ziah with prayers and Verses


the sacred led by Ustadz Zakariah to completion.


            When they are finished, they all eat the dishes


my extended family provided. Unlike me, I just smoke my cigarettes, and Om


Ali doesn't mind that. I saw my son was busy helping


serving food and drinks to guests, I smiled proudly at him


that's very shrewd.


I'll hold you until


morning after this, dear, I said in my heart.


            It seems like the words in my heart are in direct contact


naturally, she looked at me with a frown and then turned her face shyly,


he looks really funny. And Om Ali also realized that.


“You can't stand to see


your wife?” ask her seductively.


“Hahaha Om know it,”


I replied with a small laugh and smoked my cigarette.


“Just you


introduce him to me, uh the night is married,” he said.


“I'm lucky sir,”


my reply.


“He felt so too


to you,” he said reassuring me.


            We looked at him with a smile and Papa came


approaching us, my sister Rudy immediately immediately immediately gave her a seat in the open


we are in a position of facing.


“I'm asking for your one cigarette,”


pinta Papa to me.


“It's not free Pa,”


joking around while giving her my cigarette,


“Ah calculation once


you,” reply while burning cigarettes and sucking them.


            I, Papa, Om Ali, Rojali, Rudi, Adrian and Andre sat down


face each other.


“Hai Rudy,” Papa start


put out that bullying style.


“Iya Pa” answers slowly.


“You're still plain


as your brother said in his speech?” tanyakanya.


“Hahaha. I know Pa, how,


where might I judge myself,” she replied with a small laugh.


“Haa you heard


the answer is that?” ask Om Ali to Papa while taking his own cigarette


suck it.


“Hahaha the two of them


indeed the most expensive legacy, left by the deceased,” Papa praised to


our.


            My brother and I smiled at him.


“Where did you learn


making speech?” ask Papa to me.


“He otodaki om,” Rojali replied


cut off


            We laughed when we heard it.


“You've cut, wrong


also again, self-taught moron,” reply I said it.


            We laughed again.


            It made the people around us see us,


then Mama came to us.


“You can't see


atmosphere?” ask him to Papa.


            Papa just remained silent.


“It's old just you


who invites them to joke,” said Mama annoyed and left.


            Papa again just fell silent without a twist. This


made us laugh while covering our mouths with our hands.


“I'm new first time


seeing you got angry Pa,” I said taunting him.


“You also want me to be angry


Nugy?” Suddenly Zulfa's voice came from behind us.


            Then we looked at him who was struggling


dirty dishes to bring in.


“E-no,” I replied while


smiling feels guilty.


“Then, shut up,” he said


be firm and leave us.


            And I fell silent. Replace, now I'm the one


ridiculed.


“Your women are very


grumpy Pa,” I said annoyed him.


            And we laughed a little.


            People started coming home, they came to me


before saying a word of apology and sorry to me


and my sister.


            Until the last Ustadz Zakaria came home and came


towards us who were sitting, he seemed to want to go home as well.


“I'm new first look


His children,” he said say me and Rudy.


“And I'm not surprised if his children


as tough as he is,” continued while holding my shoulder and Rudy.


“I say goodbye first,” he said


shaking hands with all of us. And say hello and then go


left us.


            Some of my father's other relatives have returned


their inns and we stay in this house.


And we resumed our conversation with laughter without anyone scolding


again, because the people have gone home.


            Talking Suddenly two people


came up to us and I didn't know him, one guy was a guy who


looks like you're the same age as Dad, and the other one's the same age as me. Pretentiously


he said hello to Om Ali first, but I saw Om Ali's response


it's cold like not liking this guy.


“Where's your Mom?” tannya


with a proud tone towards me.


“Dalam” I replied with


the same tone.


I


pacing it with a feeling of not putting any respect at all.  He also walked into the house with


a man like that was his man.


“He who? So late,”


just pissed.


“You don't know him Nugy?”


reply Andre to me.


            I shook my head in wonder.


“Name is Burhan, he


one of your father's relatives back then,” replied Om Ali in a serious tone.


            I just kept quiet without being able to remember that person.


“He's the one who cheated your father


first,” continued.


            Suddenly I was immediately shocked while wrinkling my forehead.


My blood suddenly boiled, I remembered it again, when all this time I had


trying to forget about him.


Glimmer


the grudge in my heart turned into a rage I could no longer endure.


The hatred came out the instant I remembered the man, the man who had deceived my father,


the man who almost drove my father crazy. The man who made me cry in front


the door to my room, because I had to let Rudy have to live with Om Sapri


because Dad couldn't bear our lives. He made me


had to see my mother and father scorned by others, for not having money


at all.


            I really burned the flames of vengeance that consumed me, I


stand with the intention of killing him. I walked quickly into the house, and people


those around me were chasing me from behind.


            I went in and threw the door down, I went straight in


pulled the collar of his shirt sitting in front of my mother with his arrogant face


who seemed pretentious to show his sadness in front of Mom.


I


slammed him, and beat him mercilessly, despite several times he


trying to withstand my blow, I continued to beat him with all my might,


until he can't hold it anymore. I beat his face many times,


a face I don't really want to see, a face I hate.


“BEARE YOU HERE


FUCK,” I snapped at him while pulling his collar.


            I don't care if he's older than me, which is in my head


right now just want to avenge all for what he has done to my family.


“What are you doing?”


the man who was with her replied while pointing his gun at me.


            I ran and immediately threw my kick right in


his chest, until he lay and his gun was thrown away from us. I didn't


do not stay silent to beat him mercilessly. Until Rudy held me back


strong, but I managed to escape and back land every blow and


my kick to the pretentious guy who wants to shoot me.


            My movements suddenly stopped when everyone was holding me back


with all my might. I rebelled, but this time I couldn't escape. I


very upset with those who are holding me back.


“LEEP ME!!! GODDAMN BASTARDS


YOU GUYS,” my orders to them.


            I don't care who's holding me back, my hatred is dark


my eyes, even though Papa, Om Ali, and Om Zul were holding me back, but I didn't care.


“ALREADY BANG, YOU CAN


KILL THEM,” reply Rudy snapped at me.


“HOW DARE YOU SNAP AT ME?”


I asked while glaring at him.


            He was silent as if his body was trembling with anger


aslo.


“AKU REALLY WANT


KILL THEM, SO LET ME GO,” My connection is full of emotion.


“I WON'T LET


MY BROTHER BECAME A MURDERER,” his reply snapped at me again.


            I fell silent and stopped struggling, I looked at Rudy with


longtime. For the first time he dared to yell at me like that, and to


the first time he was worried about me.


I


bowing my head with a little holding back my emotions, I started to get back in shape


controlling myself, I can see the people around me again, I


looking at the look on their panicked faces seemed to be unexpected with what I was


do so. I saw my mother crying out of fear for my anger, too


with my wife Zulfa. I saw the expressions of those who were holding me back as if


told me to calm down.


            I can think clearly again, and they begin


letting go of me, I looked around me back with a feeling I couldn't


I explained, I felt guilty for making them fear me, me too


feeling so guilty made my mother cry.


“I'm sorry, I just


want to beat him as best I can..”


“I hate it so much


sibangsat ini” said I while pointing my index finger towards Burhan.


“How dare you


show your face in front of me after what you did to me


my family,” connect.


Him


only silence was unable to answer, as he was completely helpless after


I'm fucking with that kid.


“And you dare


point your gun at me.”.


“What you think with


that gun you can scare me?” I said to the other guy.


            He also just fell silent unable to answer, and I


staring sharp.


“ANSWER ME ASSHOLE,”


snapped to him.


“Already nakk,” Mother begs


to me.


“I'm not satisfied if I'm not


kill this jerk,”, I said firmly.


“You can't


kill him” beg Mother again to me.


“Why Bu?”


            I just shook my head with tears


keep flowing on his cheeks.


“At what he's been


do so. You asked me to forgive him? so Bu?” ask again.


            Mom was still silent while crying.


“Can't be Mom, she's the one


it's made Dad suffer and almost crazy in front of me, he's gone too


making Mom cry in front of my door because I had to let Rudy go


the still baby is cared for by others.”


            I just kept quiet and couldn't answer, he could only


crying out. Then I went back to Burhan.


“BURHAN,” Pekikku.


“YOU REMEMBER ME?”


connect me while pulling his collar.


            He's trying to look at me.


“I AM A CHILD


WHO USED TO BE HELPLESS WHEN I SAW MY FATHER ALMOST GO CRAZY BECAUSE OF YOU.


“AND NOW DARE


YOU CAME WITH YOUR ARROGANCE IN FRONT OF ME AND SOK CRIED IN FRONT OF MY MOTHER.


“TELL ME!!!WHAT


YOUR PLANS AGAIN? HUH?”


            He was just scared and unable to do anything.


“YOU HEARD ME!!!”


“AS LONG AS I'M ALIVE,


I WON'T LET A SAVAGE LIKE YOU TOUCH MY FAMILY AGAIN,” I SAID


threatening him was full of emotion.


            He could only nod in fear of me.


“GO!!! BEFORE I


REALLY WILL KILL YOU GUYS NOW,” I snaPPED.


They also try


got up and left limped with the pain from my punch earlier. Zulfa yagn


from then on, I could only see the glare approaching and then pull my hand to


sitting on the sofa, my sister took my mother to the room to calm her down,


followed by Aunt Ida, Aunt Yuni, Mama, and Dewi. While I still


trying to calm myself down with Zulfa beside me.
