The Bukit Atas Heritage House
THE WOMAN IN THE PAVILION

Tonight's the second day after Hanum's death. We do not hold tahlilan, because the houses are too far away to get here, only the residents of this house who held a study and pray for the late house, led by Kyai Hasan.

By the time the nine hours of study were over, each returned to his room. I'm out on my own, the air tonight makes me feel cramped. I turned on a cigarette, the suction for the sake of the suction, making me feel calmer. Until the time before midnight, my eyes still do not feel sleepy, I am still curious, who has made bu Hanum fall into the trench?, and why is it there sharp iron ?.

"Anjirrr, my brain is dead-end anyway.si*l*n," maki me.

As I was deep into the galauan, I suddenly saw a shadow enter the pavilion.

I immediately sneaked a peek, what's in that pavilion. From behind the bush, I saw Asep's mang talking to a middle-aged woman, his age is the same as Asep's mang. And if I look closely, it's a woman who looks a lot like the photo in the pavilion.

"Rania.akting you were really good yesterday, I salute you, you really are a talented actress."

"Hihihi.hihihi.akang can be," said the woman with flirtatious. The big mound on his chest was so obvious.

Mang Asep clutched the middle-aged woman from behind affectionately. The woman squirms spoiled, making my stomach squirm.

"Kang.kan barrier we no longer exist, when the marriage certificate Rania."

"Please baby, we have a lot of work to do."

I was even more confused, who exactly was Rania?, and who did she mean by barrier. Why is the problem getting more complicated. Just as they were about to do the improper thing, I walked over, knocking on the pavilion door.

"Mang.mang Asep, open the door mang !."

When Asep came out, I immediately broke in, my patience was up, I did not want any adultery in my house, which would later drag me into God's tabernacle. I checked all the rooms. Trays of offerings with incense still billowing, I kick, my anger has really peaked. Mang Asep looked at me with dislike, I don't care.

"Where is that girl ?."

"Who is the woman?, there is no one here, myself den."

"No need to lie, I just saw him come in, and make out with mamang, quickly tell him to come out."

Finally because I did not find the woman, I came out with an ultimatum, if the Asep mang brought the woman into the pavilion, I asked the Asep mang out of my house, without but.

Guepun left the pavilion in anger.

********

Bi Inah who had just finished from the bathroom, walked over to me.

"What's the matter?, there's a problem."

I'm silent. Bi Inah knows, if I keep quiet, it means I am angry and do not want to be disturbed. Bi Inah walked into the kitchen, and returned with a cup of warm sweet tea. Put it down, and leave.

"Bi !."

"Yes den." his thin and small body turned towards me.

"Why, since I got this house, trouble after trouble always comes, I'm confused bi."

"Aden, if yesterday-yesterday aden can get through a very severe problem, why now aden looks desperate, aunty sure aden can get through this, aunt believes it."

"Bi.can I hug aunty."

Without asking for his approval, I hugged the old woman's body, and without feeling any tears I spilled there.

"Den.if crying can make aden relieved, cry. But one thing to remember, men must be strong, and do not easily shed tears."

I looked at Inah, I wiped my tears, then I smiled. Bi Inah smiled, even though I knew her mind must be crying.
