EPS 55 ALL DUE TO PROMISE
The morning returned with a slightly tense atmosphere. Although it was relieved, after a night of being gripped by the face of the moon that was as red as blood, then changed the morning light that was so bright. The mystic aura that straightened the fur of Rome, as it disappeared instantly, swept away the greeting morning air. Concerns about the arrival of a hypnotic attack, replaced with a sense of relief to see the face of the sun in a beautiful orange.
Frida brings a plate of special fried rice and warm lemon juice to a large Gazebo near the pool. After a night of vigil, Dandung's body immediately fell asleep as soon as the dawn of azan reverberated. Carrying his nightmare in a mess at the bottom of a palm. His drowning body could not move because it was bound to a shawl. He wanted to scream but his voice was stuck in his throat.
“Ah, uh, ah, uh!” dandung shouted with his eyes closed.
Frida hurriedly placed the tray on the small table. His wiggly hands touched the body of the commander who was shivering. Wiggling his shoulders slowly, while his sultry lips continued to call out. But after a long time, his efforts did not produce results. Dandung's body even more vibrated, in the rhythm and sigh of an odd sound.
“Uuuhhh...hrrrr...ssshhh!”.
His voice sizzled, and his tongue stuck out like a snake. Frida read dhikr in heart with trembling lips. Never in his life had he experienced such mystical things beyond reason. But in his heart he was determined to keep fighting back, saving the soul of his lover who seemed to be lost in the wild. His inner eyes continued to sharpen, so that he could face everything firmly.
“Laa illa ha illa between subhanaka inni kuntu minadzolimiin.”
He recited the prayer that the prophet Jonah had said when he was swallowed by the giant fish many times. Submitting his whole soul in the wisdom of the divine protection of Robbi. Whispering in Dandung's ears with prayers and sacred sentences. Expect help to come to the rescue of the lover he loves. The last time he whispered a lafadz verse chair.
"Alloohu laa ilaaha illaa huwal hayyul qoyyuum, laa ta’khudzu sinatuw walaa naum. Lahuu maa fissamaawaati wa maa fil ardli man dzal ladzii yasyfa’u ‘indahuu illaa biidznih, yes’lamu maa baina aidiihim wamaa kholfahum wa laa yuhiithuuna bisyai’im min ‘ilmihii illaa bimaa syaa’ wasi’a kurisyuhus samaawaati wal ardlo walaa ya’uuduhu hifdhuumaa wahuwal ‘aliyyul ‘adhiim”.
Dandung's body shook so violently. His head was shaken rapidly. So fast, then silent for a moment. From the tip of his head came a black smoke that was so thick. Then a black shadow emerged from Dandung's body, flashing. Apparently there is a genie Khorin, a follower of Ken Darsih, who took part in holding a grudge. The genie who was dwelling in Dandung's body knew the young man had betrayed him.
“Aargh!” yell Dandung.
His voice was so blaring. Surprised all those who stood guard inside and out. Frida tells the officers standing nearby to call Iptu Khaidar. The commander of the guard officer who is still watching the situation from inside the fence. A five-year-old police officer older than Dandung came to the big gazebo.
“What's Frida?”
“Something disturbs the Captain's body from the inside. I don't know what, but I saw it myself flashing out as soon as I read the verse Kursi.”
Khaidar looks relieved.
“Aalhamdulillah's. Then continue Frida's remembrance, I will try to wake the commander.”
Frida nodded her head. His lips continued to recite dhikr and prayers. While Khaidar's hands massaged Dandung's body from the tip of the foot to the tip of the head. And their efforts were not in vain. Slowly the body of the most handsome officer in the metro police opened his eyes. Clamming his eyeballs for a moment, then immediately sit resting on his two hands.
“Ken Darsih,” hisses slowly.
Then he turned to Khaidar and Frida who looked dumbfounded. His head lowered back with a heart full of worry. Actually he wants to be honest, tell everything to be bright. But she is afraid of hurting Frida, the only woman she currently loves.
“Ken Darsih?” said Frida. “From yesterday you always mentioned that name. Will you tell me?”
Dandung was still silent. Then looked at Frida's face deeply. Then he looked at Khaidar who was standing quietly.
“Siap Ndan!”
Khaidar turned his body back to the main post. Leaving Dandung and Frida together. If it's the business of the heart, I don't follow, his mind.
“Mas Dandung, want to share a story with me?” reset Frida.
His face was so calm, as if giving Dandung the confidence that he would be fine, whatever he would hear later. For a long time he said he was just for Dandung, no matter what. He never showed an angry or jealous look, not because he did not feel possessed, but because he only had a heart.
“Promise Frida, you won't be mad at me,"
Frida raised both her eyebrows.
“Dandung mas ever see me angry or jealous?” ask Frida. “No mas. From the beginning I only loved Dandung mas without ever counting anything. I will receive Dandung mas, whenever and wherever Dandung mas ready to receive me.”
Dandung looked at Frida with amazed eyes. Whatever Frida's heart is made of, whatever she does her lips are always smiling. Though he who had taken the chastity of the girl, then lived together in his apartment, saw her come home early in the morning with a body full of the fragrance of the woman who smelled. But Frida always welcomed him, prepared warm water and made him drink.
“Thanks dear.”
Fortunately Frida seemed to awaken him from the error that was too far away. Interestingly from the bottom of the ravine that was full of poison that could kill. Reawakened him on the straight path he was supposed to take. In the end, his heart breaks and gives up his love completely.
“Iya. Now tell me all your stories.”
Dandung breathed deeply. Sitting on a black marble floor chair.
“It’s all because of a promise,” he said.
Frida looked at Dandung without reaction. He's already fingered the Dandung problem definitely not far from the promise problem. Giving false hope to unfulfilled women. Pouring poison on a bottle of honey that is downed to empty. Then they curse time on the ceaseless regrets.
“Ken Darsih is a half-stealthy woman who accidentally met me. He was mistaken with my face that resembled his enemy in the past.”
“His enemies in the past?”
“Iya. His name was Dadhungawuk, the man who had separated himself from his mother. But I'm not a Dadhungawuk. Since then, he and I have been friends. Even he lives in my house. Until one day he came home with a body full of wounds after fighting with his other enemies. Then he asked me to drown him at the base of Sendang Kumitir, in the middle of the Kecipir forest at the top of the hill Kethileng.”
Dandung stopped his story. Then take a slow breath and blow it away.
“And I promise to pick him up after five full moon.”
“And last night was the fifth full moon?” frida asked with a pushy eye.
Dandung nodded his head.
