The meeting finally took place in accordance with the promise of Seruni as well as Bima. They met at a dimly lit stall owned by mak Ute. Bima came exactly eight o'clock with Seruni who had just finished performing his prayer isya. The woman's face when she met Bima also without makeup, had just been swept away by ablution water but instead looked soothing in Bima's eyes. Bima greeted the woman with a smile while Seruni returned with a small smile.
"I'm sorry, I was late earlier, because I was guarding one of the children of the workers here because his mother was working," said Seruni reasoned that he himself then sat in front of Bima, Bima, blocked by the table.
"What's wrong, I just arrived too. If you want to dress up or do anything first, go ahead, Seruni. I'll wait for you."
"Why am I dressing up, Bim? I don't work here, nor will I welcome the guests. I only hitchhiked a few days to stay at this dimly lit stall," said Seruni with a small laugh.
Bima nodded her head, but it seems that Bima was a little disturbed when she saw one by one the men coming after that. In the village unlike in big cities, this dimly lit stall is open since seven o'clock in the evening, although not many men have come, but the hustle and bustle of activities and activities in the dimly lit stalls began to operate.
"Come with me, Bim, I know you don't feel comfortable being here."
Seruni had already moved up and stood up, while Bima nodded in agreement. It is better to leave that place. It feels uncomfortable to talk about serious things that will soon be conveyed by Seruni with the noisy atmosphere of the men as well as the frenetic sound of music that began to sound. Until in the end, they returned to the saung in the rice field behind the dimly lit stalls, the atmosphere was calmer even though only with dim lighting.
Blowing breeze felt caressing their cheeks. The atmosphere of the village when at night like this already feels lonely and cold. Seruni forgot to bring his sweater and Bima took the initiative to open the jacket he brought and again attach it to the shoulders of Seruni. Seruni turned her head for a while then, making their gazes meet for a few seconds. There was no sound coming out from the two, only the gazes of those who met each other, as if implying solemnity of feeling. Perhaps, they also explore each other's feelings, understand each other and also understand the conditions and circumstances.
"What are you going to talk to me about, Seruni? It seems serious. I told you no, that I will continue to fight for you even though my mother is still against our relationship."
Seruni shook her head, that was not what she wanted to discuss. "That's not what I want to talk to you about, but there is something more important and this concerns your lover yesterday" Seruni said later, making Bima turn her head and frown again. He has no relationship with Atikah, so Seruni should not have brought the woman to this village, even through conversation only.
"The story between me and Atikah is indeed over, Seruni. Nothing else happened between us. I've given her understanding as well as her family that we are not a match, although I sound a little selfish for canceling a marriage on the other side, but I really have nothing to do with her."
"You want me to be honest about something, about someone coming this afternoon to mak Ute's stall and meeting me?" ask Seruni to Bima who is increasingly frowning. He still did not understand where this woman's conversation was going. But he finally nodded. Bima was also curious about what Seruni would say, it seems that it is really serious.
"Well, try to tell me, tell me everything clearly so that I understand exactly what the problem is that you want to discuss with me."
Before answering the question from Bima, Seruni seemed to take a deep breath. Actually hesitant to say that to Bima, afraid later what was said by Laras was the right thing and Seruni was not ready to hear it. But for the sake of solving the curiosity as well as the sense of responsibility that must be completed, finally Seruni opened her voice.
"Of course, Seruni. Say, ask me what you want to ask me."
"Near evening, I came to your sister, Laras. He came to a dimly lit stall to meet me, to tell me something. The first of course you know that he will never allow his brother to marry me. He never liked me, Bima, even from the old school days. Okay, you must know about that, but there's one more thing he's been saying and up until this second, it's still pestering the curiosity in my heart." Seruni paused his sentence for a while, preparing the words that would come out and slide not to falter and sound hesitant. "Have you ever fucked Atikah while you were dating yesterday?" ask Seruni. It made Bima finally look over again. As quickly as possible Bima shook her head, there had never been a husband and wife relationship between her and Atikah as long as they were dating and almost married yesterday.
If just kissing and fumbling a little, Bima does not reject. He did, but when it came to sleeping, he never did. Although once they almost kebablasan once, but suddenly Bima stopped the action, precisely because he was remembered with Seruni.
"I don't know who you got that information from, Seruni. But what is clear between me and Atika was that there was never a conjugal relationship and I could have sworn in the name of the God who created me, that I never fucked that woman."
"That means you didn't impregnate her, did you?" tanya Seruni made sure
Bima laughed a little and then she shook her head. "Although Atikah is pregnant at this time, I dare to guarantee one hundred percent that it is not my seed, Seruni. How will she conceive my son, if we never had a husband and wife relationship? Atikah was never able to accept my decision to cancel our marriage yesterday, maybe that's why she made up the story that she was pregnant at the moment and if she was pregnant, she said, I don't know who impregnated him. If you don't believe me, we'll be back in Jakarta, I will not hesitate to ask for proof of her pregnancy and even if she is proven pregnant I will not hesitate to do a DNA test on the child conceived later after she was born," replied Bima straightforwardly .
Seruni narrowed her eyes, looking at Bima slowly.
"Hey, don't you trust me?" bima asked while smiling mischievously.
Want to not finally smile again. Then Seruni slowly laid her head on the man's shoulder.
"Where do you want to take our relationship, Bima? Are you sure you want to marry me?" seruni asked at the end in a soft voice.
"Germany, if indeed my parents do not approve of us, it does not mean we can not get married" said Bima again.
Seruni himself was silent, trying to digest because he did not understand what the man meant at this time.
