WEDDING DRESS WEDDING DRESS
Chapter 2

That night Tini could barely close her eyes. Last night he had to endure the sudden fear of her as he began to sense that something was strange in the room. Starting from the smell of jasmine that makes it goosebumps. Plus the creaking sound of the bed in an empty room makes the atmosphere even more gripping.

The next morning Tini saw Arsih look grim. The beautiful woman looks riled up while staring fixedly at her wedding dress.

"Why Bude?" ask the girl curious

"It looks like we suffered the same fate Tin,"

"meaning?" tanya Tini looks curious

"Mas Pram also suddenly disappeared without news, when just last week he came to give money for our wedding expenses," replied Arsih

"Desidn't Om Pram have another woman's dream?"

"No, the last news I received was that he went bankrupt and disappeared somewhere" Arsih replied

"Patient dude yes, maybe there is something better than Om Pram who will be Bude's match," entertain Tini

"It looks like no other man is as good as Pram, if I hadn't approached him it might not have ended like this" replied Arsih looking so sad

In the afternoon a young businessman came to meet Arsih. The man looked the same age as Tini and was very handsome.

Seeing the closeness of Arsih and the man made Tini suspicious.

"He was sad again but really friendly with other guys, where handsome again the guy. Salute Bude even though he is old but a lot of fans. No responsibility all the guys who approached him were not random people, if only I could be like him," said Tini as he stared at Arsih's wedding dress collection.

The woman then counted one by one the wedding dress.

"There are nine wedding dresses, meaning Bude has failed to get married nine times. Thank God I'm new once and hopefully this is the last one" Tini said then closed the closet

Not long after two men with stout stature came looking for Tini.

"I'm sorry is this Kartini's mom?" ask one of them

"What is it, sir?" tanya Tini

"Include me the manager of the cooperative save loan Harapan Baru, incidentally Mas Herman prospective husband Mbak borrowed money of twenty million rupiah he said for the cost of marriage. He said the money was with you and asked me to collect the debt to you, "the woman replied instantly making Tini stunned

"I can pay, after all we have nothing to do so I can't pay the debts" replied Tini

The man then handed a copy of the receipt to Tini.

Instantly Tini felt tight when she received the receipt from him.

"O Allah is so glad to you. Though the rent of this building is a joint savings money but you consider it your money and tell me to pay your debts," he said riled

Tini looked at the woman with a riled face. He really did not expect to have to pay Herman's debt.

Herman who could not be contacted after the marriage was forced to make Tini come

go to the Herman residence in the next village to determine whether they have returned from Jakarta or not.

Although he knows they haven't returned at least Tini can tell Herman's family about his debt.

As before only Aunt Herman could be met by Tini.

When he told about Herman's debt, the woman did justify if her nephew deliberately borrowed money in the cooperative because at that time he could not take money on the owner of the building because he had to get approval from Tini.

"He said the money he used to pay for the building was his money so he only asked for half of it to pay off the remaining debt he pledged to you,"

The woman then handed over the receipt of the building payment to Aunt Herman.

"Actually the rent of the building there are about 70 million, but because of the cancellation fine cut I only received 60 million rupiah, and this money is our savings money both, and the money, so the money belongs to Mas Herman only 30 million, so frankly I object if I have to pay off the rest. Moreover, Mas Herman has taken food catering money. So my arrival hopes that aunt can convey this to Herman" said Tini

However, Aunt Herman refused to let Tini know if she had no contact with Herman and his family.

Tini was forced to return without success. Upon arrival at home he went straight to Arsih's house to deliver the seams.

Seeing Tini who looks moody makes Arsih ask what happened to him.

Tini then told about the debt Herman amounted to 70 million rupiah. He said if he only has 60 million money and even then he will use it for business capital.

"Have not been sad, later Bude will pay," replied Arsih lightly

Although not happy because always troublesome Arsih still he felt relieved because he had earned money to pay the lack of debt Herman.

That night Tini deliberately refused to stay at Arsih's residence.

Before returning home the girl was surprised to see a woman pelting Arsih's house and stabbing the woman.

"Based on the devil woman, the actor, the destroyer of households, give me back my husband, give me back his property!" exclaimed the woman while continuing to stone Arsih's residence.

But strangely Arsih remained silent and indifferent to the woman. He ordered his house security to expel the woman.

"Any, usually Bude is most empathetic with others why now he changed. He tends to be more indifferent when facing the woman,"

But because he did not want to interfere with Arsih's affairs, Tini chose to leave the place.

Exactly at eleven o'clock in the evening Tini heard the noise of residents telling the house fire . But due to fatigue Tini who was reluctant to get out of bed chose to continue sleeping without finding out whose house was engulfed in fire.

In the morning when he came to Arsih's residence the girl was completely dumbfounded when he saw Arsih's magnificent palace had burned down. Only a puff of smoke and the remains of the building could he see.

He then went to Arsih's relatives' house and at once the girl cried hysterically when she saw Arsih's body burned

Now he is confused to find money to pay the rest of Herman's debt. When the girl was confused a man came to see her to look for Arsih.

"Sorry who, and what's the matter with Bude Arsih?" tanya Tini

"I'm Jaka Kelana, I happened to come here to pick up an heirloom borrowed by Arsih, because our agreement is over then I have to take the heirloom again" replied the man

"What kind of heirloom is Mas, maybe I can help you find it?"

"A Bridal suit," replied the man making Tini dumbfounded

"But all of Bude's belongings have burned out, none of which remains" replied Tini

But as if not believing with Tini the man then went to Tini's residence which had been burned down.

How surprised Tini was when the man found a wedding dress that was completely untouched by fire among the pile of items that had been burned.

"How can the shirt be clean without being touched by fire??"

After finding the shirt, the man resigned. But Tini held the man down out of curiosity.

"If you may know what an heirloom item the bride's shirt is so untouchable by Fire?"

"This is a legacy of immorality" the man replied.
