...* My dear (not ) Jadulku*...
The world is upside down, my old husband now says I'm old because I don't know who Ateng is, I want to ask Google if we're on a plane.
"I want to pee, Bang," I told Bang Parlin.
"Yes, there is a toilet, do not be afraid of the water falling to the earth, the water is accommodated" said the husband.
"Hahaha," I laughed, my husband now teaches me to pee on a plane. He who used to be not even good at using a spoon, can not use a toilet seat, now teaches me.
Flights from Jakarta to Jambi only take about an hour and a half. By noon we had landed at Sultan Thaha Saifuddin airport. No one picked us up, they did tell you first if only they could not pick up because they had just picked up Bang Parta.
After getting off the plane, immediately take HP and find a way to Tanjung Jabung Barat, where Bang Nyatan lives. There are buses, there are also travel cars.
"We go to Jambi first, Dek, go for a walk" Bang Parlin suggested.
Finally we look for an online taxi to the city of Jambi, want to find lunch all the way.
"Where there is good food selling," I asked the taxi driver we were riding.
"Oh, it depends what you want to eat, ma'am," the driver replied.
"This special food of Jambi is, Bang," I said again.
"There is gulai tepek, Tempoyak, rice chubby, fish satay ...,"
"Wait, what rice was that?" cut Bang Parlin.
"Bubby rice, sir,"
"Haa, it's a good fit" said Bang Parlin, laughing.
"Body shaming, Bang,"
"Fat rice, yes, Dek, not fat Nia," said Bang Parlin again.
"I want some fat rice, let me get fat," the Ucok spoke.
"But the fat rice is just morning instead, it's no longer afternoon, sir," said the driver.
"Haa, right, I'm fat enough, rice is not necessary," I said cheerfully.
"Udah, fish satay, Bang," said Bang Parlin.
The driver took us to a fish satay vendor. It turned out that the fish satay was not skewered, but wrapped in banana leaves. I laughed to see Bang Parlin was astonished, he liked satay, but this satay is not satay he said.
Not so eat satay that is not satay, Bang the driver took us to a restaurant. A restaurant that provides Jambi food. I was interested to see sambal anchovies mixed with pete, they said his name was sambal tempoyak, I ordered it, while Bang Parlin and children find it safe by eating national food that is: Nasi Goreng.
I was really surprised, it turns out that sambal tastes sweet, smells durian again, I most do not like the smell of durian.
"It's joruk, it's delicious" said Bang Parlin. He likes it, he finishes my order.
"Start tepek, Bang, it looks good," I asked Bang Parlin.
"Ah, the name is flirtatious, Dek, tepek time?" answer Bang Parlin.
"That's what I mean is flaked, sir, cork fish," said a waiter who heard our conversation.
"Oh, so,"
The taxi we were riding would also get to Bang Nyatan, the cost was quite good too, but we chose that. The trip from Jambi to Kuala Tungkai took four hours pregnant, an hour later we arrived at the garden of Bang Nyatan. There was already waiting for Bang Parta and Dame. The four brothers finally got together. Rarely does this happen.
Pa Siregar's family had different tribal wives, Bang Parta his wife was banjar, Bang Nyatan his wife was batak, while his wife Dame was originally from Medan. I am also born in Medan but a mixture of Malay, Minang and Javanese.
"Sir Nia, I want to confide in you" said Rina one night. We were both in the room.
"Yes, Rin, I'm listening" I said later.
"Bang Dame, Brother,"
"Why him?"
"He's got a new hobby, I'm really upset,"
"What hobby is that?"
"Game online, last night I played a game, ever since he knew HP andorid his work playing games continues,"
"I don't know, brother, but every morning he goes to the garden too,"
"Oh, if it doesn't bother you, let it be her hobby" I said later.
"But that's gambling, brother, yesterday after we harvested he paid the debt of up to two million, why credit up to two million?"
"Well?"
"He played online gambling, sister, pay him by credit, up to two million pulses in two weeks, I'm upset, Kunasehati, he always said Yes, yes, but the road continues," said Rina.
"Just like Bang Parlin,"
"That's it, I'm afraid they're fighting,"
"Let me say,"
The next morning, I told Bang Parlin about Rina's complaint, Bang Parlin seemed surprised too, when we had lunch together. Bang Parlin talk,"
"Dame, do you remember we didn't eat the caok indans?" ask Bang Parlin.
"Still, Bang, our mother made a caok because there's no side dish" Dame said.
"Still remember you back in school, your shoes are tongue-tied" said Bang Parlin.
"Still, Bang, if the way out of his socks, so say people's tongue shoes," said Dame.
"Well remember our father's advice?"
"Still, Bang, stay away from the three diseases of men, liquor, gambling and women,"
"Oh, so you remember everything, I thought you forgot?"
"Son, Bang, I always remember where we came from, remember the struggles of our parents,"
"Then why are you acting now, don't you know gambling is one of the household destroyers, business destroyers?"
"So how, Bang?"
"You're gambling, that online game that's up to it, gambling," Bang Parlin said.
Dame was silent, she was down.
"Remember, Dame, remember who we are, where we came from, remember dad's advice, please Dame, I ask for help, don't gamble, look for other activities, never gamble, look at your son, look at him, you want her to suffer like we did when we were kids?" bang Parlin.
"Yes, Bang," Dame cried unexpectedly.
"Why?" my question, wonder also he was advised to just cry.
"I remember our mother, when we were little we once ate an omelet one divided by four, only we could, mother did not eat, mother did not eat, he said he couldn't eat eggs because of boils, he ate with salt only, long ago I found out he didn't eat because he was concerned about his son, huhuhu," Dame cried like a child.
"She's my sister, I know her weakness, she'll change if alluded to about our childhood," Bang Parlin said when I asked her what made Dame so cry.
Another story Bang Nyatan wife, she said her husband hobby playing Facebook, like people who just know Facebook, anything uploaded, a little post. Kak Sofie's story Bang Parta's other wives. Said the husband had a lot of fancies, he became unsettled, every night always check his HP. Plus Bang Parta people like to spread the charm. Always friendly to anyone, and Bang Parta is very handsome. Maybe he's entering the second puberty.
"Parlin, nasehati first your brother," said Kak Sofie after a long story.
"His brother, I'm his brother, the adek who advised his brother?" bang Parlin.
"But you're wiser, Parlin, Bang Parta also admitted, he learned a lot from you" Sofie said.
"Look, sister, in that household besides needing love and material things, also need trust. If you don't believe in your husband, address your life is not calm, brother. One more is to understand each other, Bang Parta was from the past so, her appearance was always neat, friendly to anyone, yes, understand her nature, unless she did nothing" said Bang Parlin.
"This gate, so that Sofie's sister is advised" I said protesting.
"Well, Dek, the husband and wife relationship is like an electric current, there is a positive there is a negative, there is no perfect person, you are the angels who perfect a husband" said Bang Parlin.
"So far from where you can talk like that, like a marriage counselor, I heard," I said again.
"Everything, Deck, don't be old-school people, learn Google."
Lah, I'm called a ladul again?
