Not Just a Substitute Husband
Go to the market

Sayup-sayup heard the sound of Adzan reverberating and outside the room already heard footsteps of someone. Not long heard the sound of people teaching and cooking utensils.

Sonya who used to sleep was never disturbed by noise. Grunts annoyed that his sleep must be disturbed.

"It's really noisy!" Sonya's grouse, which now covered her ears. He forgot that he was currently staying at Chandra's house.

Tok to tok.

The sound of knocking on the door made Sonya annoyed, then Sonya threw a pillow at the door with herself still lying on the bed.

Chandra was aghast as she opened the door and a pillow landed on her body. Chandra shakes his head, seeing Sonya's behavior, then Chandra immediately wakes up Sonya.

"Non, wake. It's dawn" Chandra said, shaking Sonya's body.

"Damnihh! Noisy to know, anyway!" Jerky Sonya.

"Chan, just let neng Sonya sleep. Maybe still sleepy," said Ms. Meli from outside the room, who happened to be passing outside the house.

Sonya who heard the voice of Ms. Meli, immediately woke up from her sleep and stared dumbly at Chandra's face.

"Eh! Nope...." Chandra was a little surprised to see Sonya who immediately woke up from her sleep.

"What time is it?" Ask Sonya.

"Five o'clock in the morning. I wake up for the dawn prayer."

"Sholat?"

"Yes, pray."

Instead of rushing out of bed and carrying it out, Sonya stared at Chandra's confused face. Because he has not done prayers for a long time. If remembered the last time when he was a child, but Sonya also forgot at what age last prayers.

"Why, Non? Is something wrong?"

"I-I forgot how to pray," Sonya's great-grandson as she lowered her gaze.

Chandra is stunned to hear Sonya's words, then Chandra extends her hand to Sonya.

"I'll teach Non-Salat."

Sonya shook her head, making Chandra stare confusedly.

"Do I deserve to pray?"

"In God's eyes everything is the same and there is no proper word or no. Because the human level is the same. Come on...."

With hesitation Sonya received Chandra's helping hand and rushed out to pray.

Because it has been a very long time not praying, making Sonya also forget the ordinance of ablution.

Chandra teaches Sonya how to do ablution properly. After ablution, Chandra took Sonya to a prayer place measuring 2 X 2 M. Patiently, Chandra taught Sonya to pray.

***

At nine in the morning, Chandra, Bu Meli and Sonya head to Riri's grave. Chandra's gaze was so sad staring at the mound of land that was studded with flowers.

Chandra gathered in front of Riri and kissed the tombstone. Her tears washed her cheeks. His beloved sister is now immortal in the afterlife.

"Sleep well, deck. He will always send you prayers. May the Lord be placed in God's heaven."

Then Chandra and Bu Meli began to pray for Riri, while Sonya was just stunned.

"Chan, you and Sonya go home first. I want to go to the market first," said Ms. Meli.

"Yes, mother.." replied Chandra.

"Mom, can I go with you to the market?" Sonya.

"May, but sure you want to come to the market. You go to the market using angkot. Isn't it okay to ride an angkot?"

"Yes, that's okay" Sonya replied.

Sonya thought it would be fine to go using angkot once. Riding in an angkot will not make her fall into a poor woman. After a long wait for the angkot to pass, finally Bu Meli, Sonya and Chandra went to the market.

For the first time riding in the sky. Sonya had to sit jostling with others, as well as the stuffy and hot feeling Sonya felt.

In her heart Sonya continued to grumble in annoyance, as her seat grew narrower. Even more upset to hear the whining of children, making Sonya anxious to hear it.

The freight they were riding finally arrived in front of the market and when they entered the market. Sonya again grumbled in her heart, because of the muddled path and also the fishy smell. Sonya was also disgusted by the sheer amount of rubbish.

During accompanying Bu Meli at the market, Sonya did not dare to touch anything in the market out of disgust and also always closed her nose.

"It's finished yet?" Sonya asks Chandra, because Sonya is not comfortable in the market.

"Yet. Maybe in a minute" replied Chandra.

Sonya snorted in annoyance, which meant that she had to be patient in a market that she thought was disgusting.

While waiting for Ms. Meli to buy chili, suddenly Sonya's legs were hit by splashes of water that stagnated when someone passed her.

"Littlehhh...!" Sonya stared at the disgust of her dirty feet. Sonya did not dare to clean her legs, because the water was very dirty.

"Why, Non?"

"My feet are splashed with dirty water" Sonya said. Chandra sees Sonya's dirty feet.

"Mom, we just wait outside yeah," Chandra said.

"Yes," Ms. Meli gave a small nod.

Chandra immediately takes Sonya out of the market and finds a seat that would otherwise be clean.

"Non wait here. I'll go to the grocery store for a minute."

"Don't take it long."

"No, Nope!" Answer while leaving.

With hesitation Sonya sat herself in the place and soon Chandra came carrying a black plastic bag in her hand.

"What did you buy?"

"Buy the tissue, Non," Chandra replied as he pulled the tissue out of its place. Then Chandra crouches down and lifts Sonya's leg to wipe her dirty feet.

As Chandra cleans her legs, Sonya secretly steals Chandra's face.

If you notice you are really handsome. Just try if you can take care of yourself, surely your face will be more handsome.

"It's clean, Nope." Sonya fluttered and turned her face away, as she was looking at Chandra's face.

"I-iya, thank you," Sonya stammered.
