God's Dribble

Looking for the In-Law

At noon YoLang got the news that his two great-grandchildren had found Mei's family residence, which was near a large market in Wui city.

"Sister.we were told by our great-grandmother to follow the family's residence in May.", said LoryMei who came to bring news.

"Okay, my wife, let's get ready to go now... Lory you tell Maya's mother to prepare" YoLang told YoLun's wife and her sister LoryMei.

Then the four of them came out of the inn and walked down the main street of Wui city to the western part of the city where there was a large market, they entered the small streets to reach the residence of his great-grandmother's family. The residents around the big market are mostly families of traders who daily trade in the market and set up small shops lined around the market, where they offer merchandise as well as their residence. Occupy a simple house with 2 bedrooms and a dining room as well as a family room, to enter the house they have to pass through a small hallway because in front of the house has been used as a small shop that sells a variety of grocery items.

YoLang and YoLun entered the house followed by Maya's mother and her sister LoryMei from behind and saw her great-grandfather and great-grandfather talking to an elderly figure who was their age,...

"Well, here they come..my grandson is here, son.introduce this is my only brother... SanMay...! sister-in-law is no longer there. and they are the son and daughter of brother SanMei as well as their children.!", explained LinMei briefly.

"Greetings great-grandmothers..grandfather and grandmother.uncles and aunts all of you.introduce me YoLang great-granddaughter of grandmother LinMei and grandfather Surapong and this is my wife 'YoLun'... come pay respect.!", said YoLang while saluting by lowering his head and both hands crossed each other in front of the chest and followed by YoLun who was also introduced by YoLang.

"Neneeeekk...introduce me also the wife of YoLang's sister... 'Daying'.", added Mayang who did not want to lose.

"I'm also a great-grandmother... 'LoryMei'. The only daughter of PiYo and MaiLang.. is from the city of Klentang in the central mainland of the Green Island continent.!" said siCerewet.

"Ahhh.. good children... very virtuous... approach my great grandchildren...! receive this blessing from your great-grandfather's family.!", said SanMei then touched the heads of YoLang, YoLun, Mayang and LoryMei to give the Family Blessing to the descendants of the Mei family.

"Thank you great grandmother...! may the great grandmother live a long and abundant life blessings.!", replied the four great grandchildren in unison.

Mei's family meeting took place especially the two brothers SanMei and LinMei who miss each other, and tell of their experiences that for decades did not meet, and told of their experiences, then SanMei's sister told how their Mei family life after the death of LinMei who followed her husband 'Golden Dagger' Surapong in the middle of the land. Starting when 5 years after LinMei left the extended family Mei, their father died of illness followed by their mother 2 years later. SanMei is married to a peddler who is also her ancestor from a large continent, they continued their family business as traders and settled in the town of Wui but a few years later the husband had an accident and died on his trade trip.

SanMei has 2 children, the eldest son was married to a local resident and had no children then a daughter who was also married to the descendants of hunters east of the southern mainland and had a son. Her daughter often lives with SanMei because her husband, a hunter, is rarely home. LinMei who saw the state of her elder sister was very concerned about the condition of their residence and the trade venture that looked disadvantaged.

"Sister San. how about you come with us to the middle of the land.The luck in the middle is very wide open... my husband and I will guarantee the lives of my brother and sister's children if they want to join the middle land.!", said LinMei persuaded the sister.

"Our daughter-in-law is also a city leader.now she is the Mayor in the city of Klingang in the middle of the land.!" Surapong said.

"Sister Lin.. if I agree with you two..? but for my children and grandchildren...? I have to ask about their willingness first.!", replied SanMei.

"Yes.well my husband and I will wait for certainty from you brother San...! we are also still going to Arung City.my great-granddaughter is there to find his wife's family.!", said LinMei.

"Ohh yes brother-in-law..do you ever hear about the existence of the Lun family or the Lun Clan..?", asked Surapong.

"Hmmm... The Lun clan used to be just like us. It came from a large continent and traded in this Green Island Continent.but I have not heard of the existence of that family for a long time.", SanMei replied.

"Emmm.. well brother.. we say goodbye first.. we all stay at the inn 'Welfare' which is in the city center... accept no hesitation.!", said Surapong then gave several hundred thousand gold coins to SanMei his brother-in-law.

YoLang with YoLun did not return to the inn as with the others, but the two of them were planning on finding crowded places where they could get information about the whereabouts of the Lun family or information about the city and other southern mainland. The place they were heading to was a luxurious restaurant right in front of the Mola Royal Palace, because they felt there would be many members or servants/servants of the royal palace who would come to visit the restaurant...

"Welcome to our restaurant young master and lady.please enter...! will the young master and miss eat in the VIP room or the usual place??", asked the waiter.

"Hmmm. we are in an ordinary place, and if possible our table facing the road" said YoLang.

"Let's young master and miss please follow me...", invite the waiter to bring YoLang and YoLun to a table near the window of the restaurant overlooking the main street of the city of Wui so that it is clearly visible in the front yard of the Mola Royal Palace.

"Please serve the best food from this restaurant.for us and drink warm green tea.", said YoLang.

"Both young master and lady, please wait for us to immediately prepare the order", replied the waiter then passed.

"My wife... do you have any other plans.?" asked YoLang to his wife.

"There is no dear. I just accompany you while looking at this great city.", replied the wife.

"Yes.. well, later we will see some herbal and drug stores... also weapons stores",

"It's up to you. I will follow you.!" said YoLun.

After waiting for a while they saw their order coming which was carried by 4 servants and soon the dining table was filled with various food menus plus a pot of green tea that still reflected white smoke, YoLang and YoLun began to enjoy their meal, while watching some of the visitors who had just entered the restaurant and watching their conversation. Until they finished eating they both did not get any meaningful information, then decided to return to the inn after paying a fee to the restaurant waiter.

For 2 days in the city of Wui YoLang has not received news about the family of the wife, the family of Lun, finally he asked for the opinion of the wife..

"My wife... how about we find it in the city of Arung according to the previous information from the Anbin family...?", asked YoLang.

"My husband.. Thank you for watching my family.. I'm happy to hear... But what about both your great-grandfather and your parents...? they still need time to be with the family of great-grandmother who just met after decades apart.!", said YoLun gave consideration.

"Enmm... we go with Mayang and Maya's mother... let the others stay here... how...?" said YoLang.

"Well, but tell the others.so that they may understand.!" said YoLun.

"Each princess... servant will carry out the command... enmmm...?" said YoLang jokingly.

Then YoLang met all his family members about his plan to go to the city of Arung to find the family of the wife and at the proposal of his two great-grandfathers, for YoLang to ask his great-grandfather SanMei about the situation and state of the road to the city of Arung. YoLang who approved the proposal of his two great-grandparents immediately went to his great-grandfather's residence SanMei to ask a few things...

"Greetings grandma.", said YoLang when he arrived at his great-grandmother's house.

"Ehhh... my grandson.. let's son... sit near your great-grandfather.... What's the matter...? looks like you are in a hurry like something important.?", asked the great-grandfather.

"Betul nek..my wife and I plan to go to Arung city to look for my father-in-law and family members who have long been separated from my wife...! Did grandma know about the ins and outs of Arung town...?", asked YoLang.

"Son our family is a merchant and all our merchandise comes from the city of Arung... because there is a port city and all goods imported from outside the continent of entry in this city of Arung.!", said the great-grandfather then explained in detail about the state of the city of Arung as a port city, the city of Arung, with many foreigners who have a variety of characters, there is also an act of crime if it looks new because in the city of Arung is famous for bandit groups in the city.

"How long will it take to get there, Grandma... if I get on the train...?", asked YoLang.

"Hmmm. if you leave early in the morning and do not stop. sorenya you have arrived. because the road to the city of whitewater will pass through 3 villages... it's just that the distance between villages is a bit far it takes 2 to 3 hours. and there are some bandits who like to disturb if they see new people passing by... you just give tribute if intercepted by them", explained SanMei the great-grandfather.

"Mmm. so yes.. well grandma... later as long as my wife and I are in the city of Arung... instead of not being occupied. because I have paid the cost for 1 week.!", said YoLang.

"Ohhh.. well grandma will be there.", said the great-grandmother.

YoLang returned to the inn to tell his wife and his future wife Mayang and mother Maya that he would take him to the city of Arung, and the plan is they will ride JuLa and JuLi to arrive faster in the city of Arung and also to avoid the group of bandits who will intercept those who are clearly new to the area. This has been thought by YoLang to cause a little conflict in his adventure because the mission he carries is to forge himself and his companions in order to withstand emotions and further strengthen the resilience of their souls.
