Dreams of Devi

Julid's Mothers

As usual I went home with Alwi that afternoon. And as usual we spent a lot of time in silence during each trip. Alwi was behind me, he said let the first woman.

"Alwi, did you give Nindi bread?" ask me to remember the bread Nindi gave me.

"Yes, what's wrong?"

"Next time don't just give Nindi food. He has restrictions on some foods such as chocolate and ice cream. He also dislikes bread. So, it's good to just give something to me, because I accept all kinds of food." I'm laughing a little. Alwi looked more forward to his bike to parallel beside me. A tonyoran he gave me in my head.

"Ih, sick, you know." Ringisku spoiled snobs.

"Weak, usually also hit by a car is not crying," led Alwi.

"Who said? Not hit by a car, the plane crash was not hurt in the slightest," my dream returned a joke.

"What plane was it, huh? Paper plane?"

"Well, you're smart!"

"Eh, Dev, how's the bread?" ask Alwi curiously.

"He appreciates your gift, you know, Al. He eats strawberry-flavored. The chocolate is stale" I said.

"Ah, seriously?"

"Seriously, I seriously lied. The chocolate felt comfortable in my stomach. Tomorrow again if you give me all the chocolate, I can save enough," said I feel like the most self-destructive human being.

"Jeez, Dev. Seriously too. Kirain is really stale. I was panicking too" protested Alwi.

"Don't be rash, Al. Life should be relaxing, enjoy the flow!"

"But he ate risoles?" Looks like tomorrow I'll be splashing the risoles from Alwi, good!

"Eat, really. Bring a lot if you want to smooth his PDKT. Don't forget me, too" I explained slightly giving the code to Alwi.

"It has to be like that?"

"You're not good?"

"Yes, okay. Tomorrow I bring you too," said Alwi like forced.

"If not sincere usually my stomach hurts. Mending doesn't have to be brought along that way."

"A big rib, huh. Yes, tomorrow I bring it. I'm sincerely born, Dev."

"It's good that way. I like!"

At one o'clock in the afternoon I arrived home. I didn't see Mr and Rehan. Maybe they went to the field. This morning there was a plan to harvest some vegetables.

After changing Zuhur's clothes and prayers, I set out for the field. I choose to walk, it feels calmer to enjoy the scenery around.

I walked for almost five minutes until I arrived at the field. I saw Father and Rehan who were busy tying spinach and mustard. It was great to see the fresh-looking vegetable. However, considering the unreasonable price like that time, it made me feel furious.

"Want to be taken to Bu Minah's shop again, sir?" my many.

"Lho, are you home, Nduk?" He didn't answer my question, he asked me another question.

"Yes, Sir. It's time to go home" I replied.

"Good then. Let Devi be with Rehan, sir."

"Yes, Nduk. It's gonna be over soon, you drive it to her house, yeah."

"Ready, Sir!"

Rehan who is on the left of the Father as if not to understand my presence. He was busy tying spinach with a rope made from banana midribs. He probably already knew that soon he would be splashing money as well.

Spinach and mustard picked are now in the form of bonds. I put it in a big basket made of bamboo. The vegetable was quite a lot, in total there are about 15 bindings. The father ordered me and Rehan to go home, and he went ahead with the basket.

Arriving at home you move the vegetables earlier in a large bag. I wouldn't be able to carry it alone. Rehan was eager to help, even without having to be told to.

Earlier, you told me and Rehan to take a bath because the condition of the feet and even the hands were still full of mud. He also told me to wear polite clothes. Just in case if there are many relatives from Mbak Ani.

You do not set the price, he said let Mbak Ani estimate the price. I receive whatever money is given. After selling vegetables at the Bu Minah stall, as if not so hopeful on vegetable yields.

"Not strong, Re?"

"Strong, really."

Me and Rehan walked along cautiously. We also stopped intermittently, alternating sides so that both hands can also feel the burden together. The distance from home to the house of Mbak Ani is not far, only about 400 meters. But enough to drain energy.

Upon arriving at Ani's house, Rehan and I were shocked. Those of us who were dressed shabbily were embarrassed when we saw many people there. Ani's mom met us at the kitchen door. I know he is a good and generous man. After giving me the money, he went back into the kitchen and asked that Rehan and I wait for him for a while.

"It turns out rame, Re," I told Rehan.

My sister ignored my words. He was busy seeing some children who were playing in the front yard of Ani's house.

A middle-aged woman who was a neighbor of Mbak Ani approached us. I know her by the name of Ms. Titi. He is famous for being a fan of gossip and loves julid. Duh, why hasn't Ani appeared yet? I'm lazy if later Lady Titi even invited me to chat.

"It's Devi's the same Rehan, huh?" bu Titi asked as she pointed at me and Rehan alternately, I just nodded.

"Getting vegetables?" ask Ms. Titi again.

"Ngegeh, Mom. You asked me to bring vegetables here" I replied politely.

"Have a shower?" Ha, a question that I don't think is that important to be discussed by people who are less familiar.

"Here you go, ma'am," said Rehan.

"Oh, I've had a shower. Kirain hasn't, I still do."

Not once did I get a speech that has the same meaning as the words of Ms. Titi. In fact, the clothes I used to wear looked dull in color. Understandably, the clothes I have are mostly used clothes worth giving people.

"When you take a shower, wear nice clothes. Don't wear gini clothes, padlock!" Ms. Titi whispered while grazing Rehan's arm as if disgusted.

It hurts me to hear what Ms. Titi said. It could be that he was fluent in insulting people without thinking about his feelings. Maybe the wheel of his life is very good for the moment to not be aware to demean others.

"Lho, what is it, Ma'am?" asked Bu Titi so knowing Mbak Ani gave me something in a swish bag.

"Fetish for Devi with her sister," Ani replied casually.

"Well, I know why you two came here. Let's give you a lot of snacks, right?" the Bu Titi toilet.

"Oh, Lady Titi likes suuzon. They came here indeed told his father, Mom," said Mbak Ani.
