When Passion Is Greater Than Lust
Decisions and choices

Today I deliberately invited Bude to tour the village, the birthplace of my husband.

The face looked friendly and radiant along the road we were on. Bude also seemed familiar when talking to residents who happened to pass by.

The residents here are notoriously friendly and have a good Adab for the presence of new people.

I also felt it at the beginning of my marriage and bang Dadang a few months ago.

" Eh Siti's mother huh ? "bu Uci approached us who were sitting on the porch of Mother's house. We decided to relax, because tired of traveling earlier.

" Greetings yes !! I'm the next door neighbor"

Ms. Uci pointed to the side of the direction where her house was located, telling Bude if she lived right next to her house..

" Oh yes greetings also yes, I am the Goddess, !!" Bude greeted Ms. Uci politely, while smiling kindly.

" hhh by the way you've filled yes, Ti ?" The gaze was now turned towards me who was sitting opposite the bude place.

"Alhamdullilah, it's been Ma'am..!! Just pray for smooth gliding to the lahiran.."I touched my stomach, anticipating that yesterday's events would happen again when Ms. Uci touched my stomach without excuse. Although it does not hurt but it still feels uncomfortable, and feels very presumptuous..

" Aamiin's..How many weeks is your pregnancy ? Why are there no signs, such as nausea or dizziness ?"

" One month Mom..!! The doctor said the fetus was healthy, although I had fainted at the doctor's practice house yesterday, but thankfully not too nauseous and dizzy anyway Bu "1

"Oh means having dizzy too anyway, even to the point of fainting all.." Ms. Uci was mangosteen, her gaze now even stared fixedly at the bude .

" uh Bu Dewi, Siti should be brought home first while, many occurrences Lo if living in the house of in-laws even tormented and eventually miscarriage.. Especially Mak Salsa's model-in-law, likes two faces.."

I felt that this discussion led to something that made me uncomfortable, I glanced at the bude who looked untriggered.

" Your son is just not pregnant in a new marriage for the whole corn, he's been everywhere.."

nyess, Ms. Uci's words seemed to touch me more deeply .

" Bude don't want to take a shower anymore ? Did Siti saw bude to dry a lot.."

I tried to distract Bude, as well as give the code to Ms. Uci, if I don't like it he even seemed to provoke bude. But the figure seemed indifferent and even with a henchman sitting on an empty chair in front of us.

" Not really son. Bude is okay, even now it's a lot longer..

Mom, if my besan is like that, I don't think it's possible.."

I bite my lower lip slowly, why bude even serve the words of Uci bu anyway ?

" Unless she's a neighbor of the Julia woman, who likes to fight sheep and always tries to pour gasoline into the fire. It's nice if we can make other people misunderstand each other. But be careful, Mom, it will be splashed into her own face. Do not let me tell you for example later even mother shock and even trauma meet me, is not funny, hahhahha.."

I now look up in disbelief at what you have said, also a little horror with a bude laugh that sounds different.As bu Uci now turned to his house, without saying a word .Apparently the mother's neighbor, because mentally will bude's statement earlier..

" Why did Bude even answer that ?"

" Bude has been very sorry for the human model of your neighbor-in-law's Siti. if considered will be more widespread, that's an example of humans who often throw stones to hide their hands. So don't be too trusted.."

"Bude cool, to make Bu Uci silent so ..oh yeah Bude wait here yeah, Siti get a drink first, must be thirsty right ?? ."

I was just about to go inside, when I saw that my mother was standing at the door. Mother also brought a tray containing orange juice and also a snack in the form of fried bananas.

I took the initiative to take it from the hands of my mother and invited my in-laws to join us on the terrace, Mother today did choose to go to the garden. Because I appreciate bude's existence.

To be honest, I was afraid that the conversation between Bude and Ms. Uci had been heard by Mom. But the expressionless face of my mother made me confused to conclude,

Mom laughed, me and Bude stared at each other in confusion.." Hahhaha," Tears to the corner of his eye.

" you're cool bu besan..,hahhah"

Mother's laughter increasingly broken, making me more confused, I don't know what happened to Mother..?

" That neighbor emang julidnya not kelulungan. have eaten a lot of victims in fact..". Mom finally opened her voice, though her laughter did not stop.

" Mom is not angry, why is it like that ? " I can conclude that if my mother had heard everything earlier, I finally expressed my curiosity for my unexpected reaction.

" why should be angry, Mother even worried earlier if your bude even believes the speech of the snake in the form of a human.. It seems like He knows and is aware that , he picked the wrong opponent ..hahhah"

I laughed, I saw bude

also get carried away.

" How can you stand with model neighbors so bu besan anyway..?"

" In fact we often bicker. But yes because that one man is indeed the face of the wall anyway. It's like a bloon, as if he had no sin.."

Then flowed me mother-like ghibah, now in front of me. I who was angry chose to go to the bath, after previously saying goodbye to mother and bude, and also drinking orange juice made by mother to the toilet..

***

After three days of stay, today Bude decided to go home. Coincidentally it is time for the palm harvest. The woman now hugged me tightly, catching my head repeatedly. I feel so lucky to have someone who gives me this much love..

" Bude has been observing the nature and attitude of your in-laws during here Siti. He's a good person, so Bude wouldn't worry about leaving you here right now. Take good care of yourself and your content, Siti. Bude will always pray for you.."

Bude cried, transmitted the same thing to me, always this heavy if parted with bude.

" This makes your handle. . Buy anything if you want to.."

A fairly thick brown envelope placed the bude on my hand. I who memorize the nature of bude can not resist. And chose to put the envelope into the room drawer, Now we are in my room and Bang Dadang, because it was bude who took the initiative to enter fear of being hunted time, the arrival of the morning bus.

I just changed clothes after taking a shower.

I stayed in Bude's arms while driving him forward, deliberately asking bang Dadang to drop off bude for fear of being late and skipping the bus with a morning departure.

Because it happened to be Sunday, then all family members now even usher in the return of bude by being on the front porch. I saw bude slipping red money on each of my sisters-in-law who seemed to be lined up neatly, as if welcoming an important person..

Bude also hugged my mother and left my presence on the iron.

I hate this kind of atmosphere..

But isn't there always going to be a farewell at every meeting,,

At least now I'm no longer confused because I'm faced with a choice..

Because bude himself has given that choice, , And also steadied my heart to stay here, and accompanied bang Dadang, by supporting him even if only with prayer..

Hopefully, this year's coffee harvest is abundant ..Aamiin !!!
