Love The Bule
Gara - because of goats

How, Bid?” hasna asked her son who had just arrived home. Abid went home with Jhon and Alif.

“Yai Mus is free?” ask Hasna again.

Abid nodded. “Already. Thanks to Jhon, Mr. Hendra signed the freedom of Pakde Yai.”

Hasna looked towards Jhon. “How big is your heart, Son.”

In that sizable living room, Zahra, Arafah, and Tina were also there. Arafah looked at his sister with a happy smile, because the younger brother had indeed gotten the right man.

Arafah was embracing his sister's shoulder from the side.

“I only run as Abi and Ustad Abdullah taught. Ikhlas does make life quiet.”

“True, Jhon,” sahut Abid. “I agree.”

Alif just nodded. He and Arafah are also trying to be sincere people, because up to three years of marriage, they have not been blessed with children.

“Alright, then, let's eat! Ummi has cooked opor entok.”

“Wah ..” Abid's eyes sparkle, because this food is his favorite food. Hasna's taste of opor according to him is different from others. Even the wife can not make coconut milk opor selezat mother-in-law.

“Darling, what's that entok opor?” jhon asked his wife in a whisper.

“Entok it's kind of duck. So opor duck.”

“Like chicken opor you ever made?”

Tina nodded. “True this one tastes better, because Ummi's handmade is different from others.”

“Oh yes?”

Tina nodded. She still saw the handsome face of her husband who was smiling from the side because the face of Jhon back straight ahead towards the other Tina family who were there.

Feeling being stared at by his wife from the side, Jhon turned back to the side. “Why?”

Tina shook her head and smiled. “Nothing.I just want to say thank you.”

Jhon smiling. “Yes, you should indeed repay my kindness, later tonight.”

Tina smiled as she bit her lips.

“Ekhem!” zahra's thumping voice made the two people who were talking in a slow voice go straight to him.

“Iya, mba.”

“Ck. Other people chat with – together, this is even chatting alone.”

Tina laughs, and so does Jhon. Jhon can only grin while scratching his nape that does not itch.

“Come to eat!” bring Zahra.

“Come, Jhon.” Abid and Alif also take Tina's husband.

At the dinner table, everyone gathers. Hasna is now the most important person in the house.

“Nduk, you're here until the hajj pilgrimage right?” ask Hasna to Tina. The direction of his eyes also turned to Arafah. “You too right, Nduk?”

Arafah. “Iya, Ummi. Coincidentally, Mas Alif again service in the area here for two weeks.”

“Alhamdulillah,” says Hasna pleased.

“Wah, Fun dong. Here so rame,” sahut Zahra who also happy.

“If you are, Beer? You also do not want to go back to Jakarta, right?” abid asked, who looked at Jhon.

“Iya.”

“No.”

Tina nodded, but Jhon shook her head. Tina looked at her husband.

“Sorry, but I can only leave the office three days,”.

“Yeah, what a pity. Whereas Eid al-Adha is one week away, Nak.” Hasna looked disappointed.

“But whatever, if Tina still wants here it's okay. I return to Jakarta myself, later in the evening of the holiday, I return here.”

Truly, Jhon could not bear to separate Tina and her family especially now the moment of her family being fully assembled.

Tina shakes. “No. I'll come with you. You go home, I go home too. If you come here again, I'm also here again.”

Jhon immediately smiled.His hand was raised to stroke his wife's smooth cheek. “So sweet.”

“Uhuk ... uhuk .. uhuk ..” Alif pura – pura cough.

“The world feels like both,” ledek Zahra.

“Iya, others contract,” continued Arafah who also mocked his sister until the two people who were drunk with romance smiled shyly.

****

“Jhon, alone?” abid asked his sister-in-law who was sitting on the porch.

Jhon.

“Where to?”

“Come out with Ayash and Ameena.”

“Oh yes? Where are they?” abid asked, because the day was getting night and showed at nine o'clock in the evening.

“Tadi Ayash ask for watercolors and brushes. Keep Ameena asked to come because Bira delivered.”

Because if Tina's driving, then she'll use the car.

“Ooo ..” Abid nodded.

Ayash was adept at carving Arabic script into beautiful calligraphy. And this time he was challenged to follow the performance of calligraphy art and target some works.

“Oh yes, Jhon. Cows your order will come tomorrow,” said Abid again on Jhon who will sacrifice. This is not the first time he has sacrificed.

Years before, while still with Tina, Jhon also routinely did the same thing. Although he did not know more about the meaning of sacrifice.

“The cow belongs to Tina. If I were a goat.”

Abid's forehead is wrinkled. “Why?”

“Because I like mutton. Usually rations for the sacrificial, I spent myself.”

“What's not eneg?” ask Zahra. “Most eating mutton also makes nausea, Jhon.”

Abid nodded in agreement.

“No. I am getting stronger.”

Abid and Zahra laughed.

“Why?” jhon asked confusedly when he saw Abid and his wife laughing.

“No. it's okay – what,” said Abid who was still laughing amusedly.

“Am I wrong?”

“No, Jhon. You are not wrong.” replied Zahra. “You're right. Looks like I will also tell Mas Abid to spend his goat meat rations to be strong.”

Zahra spoke fixedly while holding back a laugh.

“No, Ummi. I don't like mutton,” Abid replied.

“Must like, to be strong like Jhon. Mas.”

“No. No.” Abid laughed again.

While Jhon was confused to see the couple's husband and wife. Bule is always talking blak – blakan and what it is. Abid who rarely laughs, arrived – suddenly giggled amusedly at the words and actions of this Caucasian.

Then, John smiled. Without it, because of the goats, he could see the laughter of Abid that he had never seen. Usually, Jhon only saw a smile on the earthy man's face, despite their age.
