Short Story - Tanah Abang Hajj

Short Story . THE most famous deviant or fake Hajj is not the  Mabur  Hajj but the Tanah Abang Hajj.  How come can that be?  Obviously, this is because a middle-aged woman named Raswen, who trades clothes at the Haurgeulis market every day, is indeed talented as a Tanah Abang Hajj.  His characteristics are cunning, evil, fierce, and good at making sweet faces to seduce people he wants.  In the past, when she was a widow who did not sell well, she was diligent in seducing Darmin, a rich widower who has two children.  He promised to love Darmin's two children.  He promised to be devoted to Darmin.  But after a year of being married to Darmin, two of Darmin's children, who are still in fifth and sixth grade, were expelled.  Darmin looked for his two children everywhere but couldn't find them either.  Maybe because he lost his child and was too tired at work, Darmin often got sick. “Go!”  Raswen shouted shooing her husband away lik...
