Chapter 66 Affirmations

"Where are you from?" Dea asked as Azka walked into her room.

"From the next room, Aldo." He answered and sat down in his great chair. "Don't ask Aldo to meet this 'important' client." Its effects.

"Where's the client?" Ask Dea curiously.

"From Papua, he said the envoy of one of the important people there."

Dea frowned. "What business? Isn't the whole procedure already fulfilled?"

Azka shrugged, "my guess is, you know, the deal's in the deal, maybe they're not going to get the big piece of cake we're giving, so send a messenger to find another piece of cake."

Dea clucked, "the behavior of the officials of the present age has not changed. How the country wants to progress if anything turns to profit for itself. Thank God someone wants a massive investment in his area. Should be supported, as long as it does not violate the rules of law and the applicable customary provisions."

"No need to think, brother lazy to serve them. Brother wants everything to run clean, according to the procedure, the cost of land acquisition there is quite large, the flow is complicated, not to mention there is a customary rights business that needs special handling. Dizzy brother, almost every day our workers there are terror." Azka grumbled his head.

Dea walked up to Azka and then stood behind her and took over her head to be massaged.

"Ang patient, hopefully there are no significant obstacles and the yards there can soon operate on schedule."

"Aamiin. thank you, baby." Azka took one hand of Dea and kissed her many times.

"Bang, I'm having lunch with Hurricane Rara well, okay?" Dea Permit.

"Well, what about brother?"

"Say want to eat with the new Deputy Manager, brother aja well, anyways I have not had time to tell a lot of the same two concocts. Well, please!" Dea said.

If you have seen the face of Dea weld like this, Azka where the heart.

"Yes, but bring them to eat here. Be out, out of time on the road."

"Ready boss!" Dea was so excited, no problem in the office, that it was important to meet with Hurricane and Rara.

"You two are so good, can you hug, me? Wind hug!" The Storm protests saw the unrelenting Dea and Rara embrace.

When we met, a big hug. On knowing both pregnant, hugs again, little stories, splashy, hugs, hugs hold. And the Storm must sit must not join them in cuddling.

"How many times have you said, even if you want to use a negligee, you will not be allowed to hug us, the risk of the same position of girls. Do you want to be made peyek same mas Deon and Azka sir?" Rara laughed wickedly.

"My regret is matchangin lo the same as Deon. I'm afraid, you two should be responsible for finding a mate for me. You see, my soul mate must be the same frequency both of you, if not, can dissolve our kinship relationship." Storm Complaints

"Are you sure you want a soul mate?" Tanya Dea was serious.

But the wrong turn of the Storm was stared at like that by Dea and Rara.

"Do you want to eat what girls do?"

"Yes, Bad! Salary has been how many digits as well, very afraid. Friend of the Prophet aja, some are poor but still married, polygamy anyway, some even like dowry use iron rings." Sela Rara's.

"That's the Prophet's friend, Ra! Companions of the Prophet may be poor in treasure, but they are rich in faith. Lah me? Don't have money already dizzy seven around, how if there is a wife child, maybe I was depressed first." Said the Storm a little upset.

"Udah.. " Dea broke up, "the marriage does need capital, it does not have to be much, but if you can, do not invite the child of a marriage if it is still starting from zero, because you are not a gas station, but if you can, especially if starting from minus, aka marriage money from debt, pity.not calm after marriage, even dizzy to pay debt, mending do not need to marry first then, rather than making life difficult for girls. So, the marriage should be thoroughly considered his ability, able to give dowry and able to give a living. Especially if you get a Makassar girl, different pannaik money with the dowry, not to mention if suddenly your grandmother in Toraja died, remember to send buffalo money!"

Instantly Rara's laughter broke hearing Dea's remarks about Buffalo money for the celebration of death. Unlike Rara, the Storm's face turned sour. This kind of custom made him lazy to go back to his hometown. The feast of death is greater than the wedding feast. He thinks it's burdensome, because it's like an inheritance debt. Not to mention, the Storm family is included among the high noble families in Toraja, although his parents are already mu'allaf, but the custom is still binding.

One of the traditions that are still held firmly by the Toraja indigenous people is the Rambu Solo ceremony or also called Aluk Rambu Solo. Aluk is a traditional belief, customary values, rules, or strict traditional rituals that have been determined by ancestors.

Toraja people view death as the transfer of people from the world to a place of the spirit realm for rest (Puya).

So, to achieve that goal, the corpse must be treated well by an abandoned family.

For the Toraja tribe, the deceased person is said to have actually died when all the needs of the Rambu Solo ceremony procession have been fulfilled. If not, the dead will be treated like sick people, so they still have to be provided with drinks, food, and laid in bed.

Dea and Rara had attended the funeral of Grandfather Storm whose bodies were kept for up to 1,000 days because the cost of procuring a new customary ceremony could be collected.

The cost is very high because it must slaughter buffalo, pigs, and the length of the ceremony procession. In addition, buffalo and pork meat will later be distributed to the surrounding residents. For high nobles such as the Storm family, the number of buffalo and pigs slaughtered could reach 100. Just incredible!

"It looks like you guys are so happy to see me suffer. Instead of being prayed for, assisted saving so that he could apply for his grandson's former vice president of the two periods."

Couch cushions drifted to the head of the Storm.

"If dreams don't be high, Bad! How much money does it take? You sell all the rice fields and buffalo belonging to your father in the village will also not be enough." Cut Rara reminded.

"Affirmation.the name is also affirmation, Ra! Once upon a time there was an angel through here trus diaminin, it's a lot of my good." Answer the storm.

"Aamiinu. I pray you dapet mate crazy rich of Makassar deh so we can both later have brother-in-law from among high class." Dea chuckled.

"Udah ah. laper! Speaking of soul mate mulu, even make hungry." The storm instantly opened up the food menu that Dea had prepared before they came.

"Wow... Chalk (a typical Sulawesi food made from sago and various vegetables)! Thank God, finally got this food after so many full lives in the capital." Said the Storm enthusiastically. "Buy where, De?"

"There is a food stall for mama's subscription, yesterday passed by there and it was still open and could be delivered." Answer Dea.

"I like the vegetables the most, the songs not so much." Rara. "Sir Azka wasn't invited to eat, De?"

"He had lunch together, Wong. Our new deputy." Dea started to enjoy her food.

"It's better for three, it's not fun if your husband is here." Sela Storm and the possessed Rara sign agree.

"His people are good, you're too proud of him. That's why we often go to the house!"

"Shame De, not good with your in-laws!" Say Storm again.

"They're all good people, sometime we make it more time like at the house of Makassar first, let me have a free baby sitter later." Dea glanced at the Storm and made the three of them laugh out loud until the Storm almost sprained the chalk.

"That's great!"

Suddenly the atmosphere was silent for a moment as Azka walked into the room. Realizing that the atmosphere immediately turned quiet like in a cemetery, Azka tried to melt the atmosphere.

"Well, it looks like another big meal. What is this, honey?" He sat beside Dea.

"Lack. Food typical of Makassar, brother want to try?" Ask Dea.

Actually Azka was very uninterested to see the shape that was chewy-wet like glue, but for the sake of making his beloved wife happy, he also according to nod.

"Open your mouth." Dea took a spoon and bribed Azka.

At the sight of Azka chewing her food, Dea rebuked, "swallowed bang, don't chew."

While the Storm and Rara were barely able to hold back their laughter in order to see the face of Azka who had changed to try the food.

"Nake?" Ask Dea.

Azka nodded, her sweat began to pour out. "Medas, De!"

"Astaghfirullah, sorry bang! Dea forgot."

Storm Laughter and Rara finally broke to see Azka's reddened face withstanding the spicy and sour taste of the food she had first eaten.

"Don't be kapok, sir. Long time also addictive." Rara.

Finally they continued to spend their lunch with a sense of family. It turns out Azka can also be friendly with two friends of his wife. Azka was well aware that for Dea, her two companions were already considered like her own family and Azka promised to treat them well as Dea was kind to the Azka family.

Actually really want to enter the Makassar logat/dialek, but later complicated make the translation of the new language😁

And for the customary affairs of Toraja earlier, sorry, do not mean to criticize let alone offend. Some of the original Toraja author friends complained about their custom because they felt burdensome, but behind it all there was still a positive value that they could take there. Especially for tourism in Toraja.
