Why marry me, Gus?
chapter 39

"Bak Arin? How did you get here? Same who?" Some volunteers contact Arin at the volunteer camp and invite Arin to talk. Arin's arrival certainly made everyone shocked, especially Huda.

Arin threw a smile at everyone who greeted him even though the woman was already shivering with coldness and was about to fall down. "I'm alone here" said Arin.

"Bak came here alone? Even though the danger is really the way, Ma'am," comments some volunteers who invited him to talk. "What did Arin bring? It's a lot of stuff."

"I'm here to see Mas Huda. There is a trust I have to convey. Thank God, I was able to get here safely" Arin exclaimed.

Arin persisted and tried not to collapse in front of everyone who welcomed him. "Here, rest first, Ma'am!"

"Change first, Ma'am!" The volunteers were so attentive to Arin and helped the woman take care of her soaking wet self.

After changing clothes and warming up with a blanket, Arin enjoyed a cup of warm drink made by volunteers there. "Drink first, Ma'am!"

"Thank you!" said Arin sungkan while sipping the drink.

"Where was the trip here, ma'am? Get wet with gini. The medan is so bad. There is no good road. Mbak also brought a big bag," said friends Huda.

Arin just smiled. The woman also did not expect to make it to Moyudan Village alone in a safe state. "Yes, the road was so bad. My clothes were wet just across the river" said Arin.

As the woman was busy talking to the volunteers, Huda suddenly appeared at the camp to see the wife. The man looked at Arin with an anxious face.

"Thin!" call Huda.

Arin and some of Huda's friends immediately turned their heads towards the man. Ilmi who was there also immediately turned her head towards Huda. "Well, my beloved husband has come!" chirps Ilmi teases Huda.

"His name was picked up by his wife" continued Ilmi meledek Huda.

Huda did not push the slightest stripes from his friend. The man immediately approached Arin and saw the condition of the wife. "You're all right, right?" ask Huda.

Arin lowered the glass in her hand and greeted the husband with a relieved smile. After a few days Arin felt unsettled because of the husband who had no news, finally the woman was able to ascertain for herself the state of Huda.

The husband she was worried about was actually fine, with nothing less. Fortunately Arin's anxiety was not proven. "Thank God Mas Huda is fine!" inner Arin.

"I'm fine, Mas. Thank goodness Mas is also fine here," said Arin.

Huda wanted to hug his wife, but unfortunately they were in the open. Of course Huda must keep his wife and refrain from making out with his wife in a place affected by natural disasters.

"Who are you here with?" ask Huda to mince words.

"I'm alone, Mas. I met Ilmi. I brought the things that Mas needed here," said Arin.

Seeing Arin's good state, Huda unceasingly gave thanks in his heart. I don't know what Huda would do if something happened to his wife. Plus, Huda did not know at all with the desperate plan of his wife who followed him to the refugee camp.

"You must be tired. Just rest in the room!" take Huda to Arin.

The man also took Arin to one of the empty rooms in the camp. Huda goes inside and asks Arin a lot of questions. While they were both in the room, Huda immediately seized the opportunity to interrogate his wife.

"Arin, why are you so determined to come here? You also did not know first. Do you know how dangerous it is to get here? Why are you here alone? What if something happens to you on the street?" Huda bombards Arin with many questions.

Arin lowered his head. The woman also realized that the thing she did was quite dangerous for her. But Arin did not want to just sit and wait for news from her husband without doing anything. Arin did all this for Huda.

"Sorry before, Mom. It's not that Arin doesn't want to tell you first. But I couldn't connect for days. Arin was worried about me. Arin also heard there was an aftershock here and volunteers were among the victims. Arin is afraid of why here. That's why Arin followed Mas here," explained Arin at length.

Huda was quite moved after hearing Arin's reply. He really did not expect, his wife dared to face danger alone just for her sake.

"So why is the medicine in your hands? Yanto should have brought him here. You must have met Yanto before, right?" ask Huda again.

Arin also told everything, from the beginning he contacted Yanto, until finally Arin himself decided to continue the journey to the village of Moyudan. "I was with Mas Yanto. I tried to contact Mas's friends to find out the news about Mas. I finally met Mas Yanto and I got information that Mas Yanto wanted to come here," explained Arin.

"Therefore I contacted Mas Yanto and joined Mas Yanto here. But in the middle of the journey, Mas Yanto was not strong and returned to the village. So I volunteered to take these drugs here alone" Arin continued.

"Keep Yanto give me permission to come here?" exclaim Huda.

"Initially Mas Yanto also did not give permission. I was looking for an excuse so that Mas Yanto could bring me here. I'm really worried about Mas because Mas can not be connected," said Arin with his head bowed.

Huda hugged his wife tightly. The man was truly grateful that nothing had happened to his wife during the trip to the village of Moyudan. "The communication network here is difficult, Rin. I also don't want to worry you. Sorry, huh?" huda exclaimed guilt had made his wife unsettled, until Arin caught up with him.

"Thank you so much, you're paying the same attention, Mom. But I don't like you putting yourself at risk like this for me. Please don't repeat! I can't imagine anything happening to you on the road!" said Huda while peeping the head of the wife.

Arin returned Huda's embrace was no less tight. Not only is Huda grateful and happy to see Arin doing well, but Arin feels the same way. Arin was happy to see her husband healthy and safe.

"Sorry, Mas. I don't mean to worry. But I also did not calm down at home waiting for news from Mas. I just want to know how things are. I just want to know you're all right here. I'm really grateful, Mas did not become one of the victims of the landslide after that in the news yesterday," said Arin with the corner of his eyes that had been watery to hold haru.

The two hugged each other tightly to let go of their homesickness and express their gratitude. "Thank you so much, Arin! You've managed to bring these drugs all the way here safely. Mas very proud of you," Huda praised Arin who has ventured to continue the journey carrying medicines that are needed by residents in the refugee camp.

Unfortunately the conversation between the couple had to stop once a volunteer called Huda to help. "Help first, huh? Check the stuff you brought too. You rest here. Keep the blanket on so you don't get cold!" huda said then saying goodbye leaving his wife.

"Yes, Mum." Arin also spent time alone in the shelter. Arin tries to close his eyes and enjoy some rest, but of course the woman will not be able to get a good night's sleep in the shelter.

"Capek is also mulu fall but can not sleep," grumbled Arin. The woman took off her blanket and got out of bed. After Arin's tiredness disappeared and his body was warm enough, Arin also chose to walk around the shelter.

Not far from the room where he was resting, Arin saw mothers who were busy cooking in the soup kitchen. Arin also took the initiative to approach the mothers and help as much as possible there.

When approaching the mothers, Arin also accidentally joined in listening to their conversation. Arin straightened her ears as soon as she heard the mothers mention her husband's name.

"Mas Huda looks very tight yes same Mbak Novi. They look very harmonious" said one mother.

"Yes, Mom. I am also happy to see them both. They look pretty cute too, don't they? I think they're husband and wife, huh!" the other sahut.

Arin was struck by lightning in broad daylight. Just now she was relieved and happy to meet her husband, but soon the woman was treated to unpleasant news about her husband with another woman.

"What do they mean? Mas Huda was near Novi here?" arin's wrath in the heart.
