MAULANA slowly got out of bed. He was sure his wife Cayem was fast asleep. Even so, Lana felt that she had to be careful. Do not let Cayem wake up which means he failed to make love with his mistress. In these seven days, every night Lana had an affair. So far, it's safe, aka no one caught. Lana really enjoyed the affair. Not only Lana who felt fun but also Warem. Because it was so fun, Warem would be very disappointed if Lana didn't come to his room. The beautiful widow with smooth white skin would be furious if Lana didn't visit her. If Lana messes up, Warem threatens to expose the affair to Cayem. Let the household between Cayem and Maulana be destroyed. Lana is afraid that this will happen because if she divorces Cayem, what will happen to her child, Eni, who is still a toddler?Tonight Lana was careless. He didn't know that Cayem was pretending to be asleep. The sweet black woman had long suspected why her husband was not there every midnight but before dawn he went back to sleep beside her. Where did Lana go every midnight that night? Tonight, Cayem secretly follows Lana. Hah? Cayem didn't immediately believe what he saw. This former Paris Jakarta night woman rubbed her eyes. Did Lana really enter the room? really? Cayem didn't think so at all. He also doubted his eyes.
"Kang Lana!" Cayem called out her husband's name. Slowly, not too loudly, but the voice was heard by Cayem's sister Warem who was spoiling his mistress Lana.
"Lana, Cayem?" asked Warem who was clinging to Lana, suddenly worried. "Hide under the bed!" Warem ordered Lana.
“Yu Warem, open the door! I saw Kang Lana enter this room!”
Lana was already hiding under the bed. Warem tried to calm himself down by taking a deep breath. This 35-year-old woman who is still a prostitute in Paris, Jakarta, ventured to open her bedroom door. Whatever happens, he prepares himself. For Warem, life is already very prostitute, well, just let it be shattered. Especially if the commotion that will occur will actually make him completely own Lana. That was precisely what Warem had hoped for. Warem will get out of bed, hihihi.... that's what Warem has been dreaming of all this time. While falling in love with his own sister-in-law. To hell with the gossip of neighbors that is important in love is done. Love what lust? Both!
"Yu, I saw Kang Lana enter this room!"
“Don't be reckless Cayem! Why did Lana come into my room?”
“Yu, in a brothel we don't care about her brother, sister, grandparents, old, young, elderly, we serve all. But here at our parents' house, Lana is my husband, your sister-in-law! Where is he?"
"You accuse me?"
Cayem barged into the room. He looked for Lana behind the door, in the cupboard, under the table, under the bed. Cayem screamed to see Lana under the bed. Hopefully all this time Lana has been having an affair. Unmitigated Lana hurt Cayem's heart because she had an affair with Cayem's older brother. Warem, who was returning home and sleeping next to his room. Until the two people's hearts shattered Cayem's heart. That same night Cayem asked for a divorce. It's not strong enough to compete in love with your own brother.
“Many men, why did you take your sister's husband? Wicked you Warem! Take my husband and take care of my child!”
“Cayem, I'm just having fun. Didn't mean to snatch your husband!"
"Base!" Cayem couldn't hold back his emotions anymore. He attacked his brother. Claws and plucks ensued. The silent night has now become chaotic. Not only the whole house, but also the closest neighbors also woke up. They know what happened. An older sister took her sister's husband and hid her sister's husband under the bed.
Lana is indeed dashing and handsome. In addition, he is well established because he has a large and in-demand motorcycle repair shop at Patrol. What woman would not be tempted to see a handsome man and a bear? Likewise with Warem. This woman had fallen in love at first sight when she attended Lana's wedding with her sister Cayem. Lana is also a very experienced masher. He understood Warem had a crush on him. So, later on, Lana often visited Warem in Paris, Jakarta. If Warem returns to Haurgeulis, the affair is just a matter of changing rooms.
Cayem runs away with his wounded heart, becomes a prostitute in Kramat Tunggak. He tried to treat his wounds like crazy, not remembering his parents, children, let alone his brother, Warem. Meanwhile, Warem, inevitably has to take care of his sister's child, Eni, Lana's daughter who has become her husband. Warem's conscience began to feel guilty for hurting his sister's heart. As a consolation for sin, Warem pours out his love for Eni. Not only Eni, Warem also loves all his nieces and nephews. Both the nephew from his side also from Lana's side. After all, Warem has no children. Her breed was dry because during her time as a prostitute, she often had an abortion and drank alcohol. Warem hopes that, in his old age, the nephews he is now raising will love him.
Warem's nephews grew into teenagers. After school, they were able to help Lana work at the motorcycle repair shop. Warem who takes care of the house is also helped because there are Eni and Arti. Warem really loves the two teenage girls. It seems that Lana also loves her own daughter Eni and her nephew Arti. Warem never thought that was strange. Though strange things have started to happen since Arti graduated from middle school. The young girl has a large body. Her skin was pure white, almost as white as milk. Her beautiful face is not inferior to the beauty of movie stars. But, one day when she was in the second grade of high school, Arti's beauty looked haggard. Although Warem has no biological children, Warem was once pregnant. The state of the pregnant person is like what Arti is experiencing now. Warem got worried.
“Mimi is nothing! Does that mean you're still in school when you're pregnant?”
"Who with? Who is the man? He must be held accountable!”
"Never mind Mi, I'm not pregnant!"
Arti does not admit that she is pregnant. But day by day his stomach is getting bigger. Arti doesn't want to leave the house, let alone school. Of course Warem didn't like the situation. According to Warem, Arti should be married off to a man who had her pregnant. If the man has gone far, then Arti will be married off to her eldest nephew. While Arti's stomach isn't that big yet. To cover shame on the neighbors.
"Mimi, tomorrow I'm getting married!" Arti says when Warem comes to her in the room. "Last night I had a discussion with him."
“That's what Mimi wanted to say, thank goodness!”
“Mimi has to get out of this house! The land of the house and its contents is mine!”
"You mean?"
“Mama Lana is my baby's father!”
"What?"
"It's been years Mimi!"
"God damn it!"
It really hurts! So sad! The husband was taken by the person he raised with great love and affection. Why has Warem been careless and not the least bit suspicious of Lana's affection for Arti? He thought an uncle's love for his nephew. Evidently? Is this the law of karma? Torment the world? Warem who was getting old was expelled from the Patrol and was forced to return to Haurgeulis. Indeed, he went home with Eni and his five nieces and nephews. But Warem was not given the slightest treasure. You were expelled, brother .
Warem's nephews went to seek their own fortune. Eni was forced to leave Warem and live with Lana to finish school. Warem lives alone in a bamboo hut made by residents. In difficult times like that, Warem who is already old does not increase his worship but is rather good. He contacted his former customers who were also elderly. Warem became an old prostitute who was willing to pay anything. If not paid a penny, Warem gets angry and chases away his customers by throwing brooms, plates or whatever is nearby. Warem like crazy.
The pain of the heart and often not eating, made the old Warem fall sick. His brother didn't want to take care of him. Moreover, Cayem, whose husband was captured by Warem. The woman who hated Warem so much actually cursed Warem. Meanwhile, the nephews he used to raise were far away. When Warem died, no less than ten people buried him. Warem's body stinks like a carcass. Blackish red liquid continued to pour from Warem's genitals. Was it because in his lifetime he went up and down the bed on his own? Who knows. He must have died alone, who would? // The short story of Untung Gautara // Pilang , June 14, 2013.
