Artificial Wedding

[1] Beginning

In a village far from urban certainly has its own characteristics. Given its name, a village is synonymous with beautiful atmosphere and far from the noise of the sound of community activities.

But it seems that the calm atmosphere is not described in a house that is large enough when compared with the houses around it. The evidence from the outside will be heard a loud voice that is presented by the homeowner.

"Current! Come here!" the cry of course made the person he called to walk in a hurry to get to his mother.

"What's up, Mom?" he said so up in front of his mother who is now engaged hands limited to the chest. The woman looked angrily as she looked at one of her children.

"Not that I told you to wash my clothes. Why haven't you washed up till noon today!" he was angry while throwing a pile of clothes at his son.

The girl who was thrown clothes by her mother could only look down while picking up clothes that fell in front of her. "I'd like it later in the afternoon the shirt should be dry and tidy. You know for yourself that tonight my daughter and I are going to go to the pitcher."

The girl with full name Lembayung asih could only nod. He did not dare to dispute what his mother had told him. Because he did not want to get a rattan blow from his mother.

Even the bruising of yesterday's blow had not disappeared completely. And Asih did not intend to add it again. "Okay, ma'am." replied Asih who was still bowing his head.

Merna looked at her stepson with a slanted smile. "Be aware that my clothes will not be ready. You're responsible for the consequences." After saying that, Merna left. Even himself violently bumped into Asih's shoulder.

Asih slightly grimaced due to the actions of her stepmother. But he didn't reply to anything. Not that he was afraid, but he was just acting respectfully to the status of Merna who was his mother. Although the relationship is nothing more than stepmother and stepson.

While sighing patiently, Asih began to pass towards the river not far from his house. Maybe about 10 minutes to reach the river. In this village is already used to use the river water for daily needs.

Plus the river water is still very clean, because it has not been contaminated by any waste. Residents around often use it to bathe, wash clothes, flow rice fields and much more.

Arriving at the river, the atmosphere was quite crowded because the children were playing water in the river. Not to forget also the existence of some mothers - mothers who are also washing their clothes. Asih walked carefully while paying attention to his footing.

Indeed, rocks near the flow of water usually tend to be slippery due to riding by moss. Therefore, Asih focus on sorting the right footing so as not to slip.

"Nyuwun sewu, Mom. (Excuse me, ma'am)." he said, which at that time passed through several mothers - mothers who were washing clothes. The words were kindly answered by the mothers. "Andengeren yah mene nembe teapot, Sih. (Not usually the clock is coming this way, Sih)." said one of the mothers while staring at Asih.

He smiled softly, "Nggeh, Mom. Wau kula nembe finished cooking. (Yes, Mom. I just finished cooking.). " The Asih answer was taken by the mothers there.

After talking for a while, Asih chose a place on the left side of the mothers earlier. Indeed this is a spot or place that is often used to wash clothes. Because the stone used for washing pads is a little flat. Yes, although not as wide as that has been used by the mothers earlier.

Started to finish his job. Sometimes he would answer questions from the mothers. Until now the mothers began to discuss the event kenduri have Pak lurah. One of his sons, Pak Lurah, will celebrate the wedding tomorrow.

But Pak Lurah has prepared a festive event for later tonight and tomorrow of course. And that is the reason why Asih must quickly complete this work. He doesn't want to be angry with his mother anymore.

"Krungu - krungu, mengo bengi dayohe pak lurah akeh sing teko" said one of the mothers. (Denger - Denger, later tonight his guests sir lurah many who come).

(Yes, Mom. He said that he had slaughtered 5 goats. Not to mention the many chickens).

The five mothers who were there continued to chat while finishing their laundry. Actually, the day will usually be more mothers - mothers who wash clothes in the river. Maybe because it rained this morning until 10, the mothers became a bit lazy to go to the river.

Fortunately, the clothes that are washed are not as much as usual. That's why he finished his job so quickly. And now he's done drying his clothes. In my heart, Asih thanked me because the sky was very supportive for the laundry to dry quickly.

While waiting, Asih began to walk behind the house to check the plants. A happy smile appeared on Asih's lips as soon as he saw that the plant began to bear fruit. There are several types of plants that Asih deliberately planted behind this house.

Starting from chili, tomato, onion, garlic, lettuce, Cassava, Ketela, Kale and spinach. Actually, the area behind his house was no more than 3 meters. But the soil is so fertile, so that the types of plants can live there.

It is very important to explore the world of flora. Unfortunately he could not plant flowers, because in addition to expensive for him also the mileage to buy it quite far. That's why this is all he can grow.

Observation of chili plants and tomatoes that bear fruit quite a lot. If it was like this, he could sell it. Itung - itung add money for home shopping. His mother rarely gave him money to shop.

"White, where's my shirt!" the scream came from the tv room. Asih who was behind also immediately replied. "There's on your dresser" she said somewhat shouting.

Actually Asih is not a person who likes to raise his nadq. Because he was currently washing the tableware, so he screamed his brother's words. Rinka who was busy watching TV also exclaimed back.

"Quick fetchin! The clothes now want me to wear." Rinka screamed again as her eyes looked seriously at the TV showing her favorite gossip show.

Asih took a long breath. He started rinsing his hands with water to make them clean from the soapy dishwashing foam. He stepped into the room of the brother who was only 5 steps away from the tv room. Even though the distance of her sister's room to the back requires 10 steps.

"This, Brother." Asih handed the shirt to her brother. But Rinka still has not received Asih sodoran earlier. He was too focused on what he was watching. Asih who did not want to throw the time immediately put the clothes on the table.

After that he passed from there to finish the task of washing the tableware. After all, his brother would be angry, if until he interrupted the excitement of watching his brother's favorite show.
