“Mas?” ask a veiled woman holding a two-year-old child in a wheelchair with an explanation and hopeful gaze.
“Already Deck. Mas will have answered many times,” replied the man who sat next to him without any pedestal and directly attached his ass to the grassy ground that was on the edge of the rice field.
“Huft,” the woman took a deep breath while shaking the baby in her hand, occasionally she would kiss the little one who was sleeping quietly in her mother's sling.
Munding only smiled looking at the scene next to him.
He doesn't need anything anymore. As long as there was Nurul and Alit beside him as now, who always accompanied him to work in the fields and gave his sweet smile when he came home. That was enough for Munding. More than enough.
“Le, you want to hoe again huh? You metemenin your mother first,” whispered Munding to the toddler who was still asleep quietly in his mother's sling, the mother, munding's hand was stretched out and wanted to touch Alit's cheek but his hand was immediately pushed over by Nurul when it was a few centimeters away from Alit's white cheek.
“Tangan Mas dirty it, what the hell want to hold Alit?” nurul protests while glaring towards her husband.
Munding, the strongest fighting wolf in Indonesia, perhaps even in Southeast Asia, has just been hit by the scolding and tepis of a woman sitting in a wheelchair and weakly helpless.
Munding just smiled wryly and scratched his head that did not itch and then switched to kissing Nurul's cheeks, “Don't get angry, later old spit,” said Munding and he went back to walk to the rice field, leaving Nurul and Alit waiting for him near the hut on the outskirts of their rice fields.
Munding then began to continue his work to improve the rice paddies, or if the Javanese say ‘galengan’.
This job is simple but vital.
Paddy fields in general will be divided into several small plots. Among the swaths of rice fields there will be a barrier in the form of a mound of land. This mound of land is called a paddy field or galengan. In addition to functioning as a barrier between rice fields, this pematang rice fields will also later function as a road access for Munding when he checks his rice fields or sprinkles fertilizer when the rice fields have begun to be planted.
The process of repairing the galengan is very simple. First, the grass in the garden must be weeded first. After the grass is weeded, Munding will use a hoe and take the land on the right and left of the garden and then put it on the rice field that is nearby.
So, it has become common if on the right left of the galengan, there will be a kind of groove rather deep compared to the middle of the rice field that is farther from the galengan. Because the land that is on the edge of the rice field plot was taken to make mounds that are used as rice fields.
After the ripening of the rice field so and the shape is tidied up using hoes and also foot stepping, Munding will move forward little by little and continue to fix the grill to the end there.
And the most painful thing for a farmer like Munding was when he had just repaired the grinder, then suddenly there is someone or something without sin suddenly stepped on the plumber of rice fields that are still soft and just tidied up. As a result, the former stomp of the feet of the curse will damage the rice fielder he just made and waste his work for today.
And that's how Munding, Nurul, and Alit have been living their lives for the past two years.
They became unpretentious farming families in the morning and during the day, teaching the children to teach in the afternoon and evening, teaching silat twice a week to the teenagers around them and all of them make Munding and Nurul happy.
Simple but more than enough for the two of them, three if Alit counts as well.
The only regret that exists in Munding is that he has not succeeded in also finding a cure for Nurul's leg paralysis. Actually Munding never had a problem with that. The only reason he tried desperately to find a cure for his wife was not because he felt disgusted or disliked by her shortcomings, but it is precisely because Nurul herself who always felt that she could not be the perfect wife for her husband.
Just like this morning, for the umpteenth time, Nurul talked again about the matter of Amel and Munding. Nurul asks Munding to marry Amel because in addition to Amel has been proven to have a real feeling for Munding and even Alit, Nurul felt that he could not serve Munding perfectly.
The conversation always ended without a solution because Munding always rejected Nurul's suggestion and Nurul remained steadfast to force her husband to marry Amel.
Asma and her husband also often come to the mosque next to the Munding house to help them teach. Moreover, Nurul now has a baby and limitations with his physical, practical, responsibility to teach children to fall to Asma and her husband named Farhan.
Munding himself, he always reasoned not to have enough patience to serve the delinquency of the little children when teaching and gave up to become a teacher for them. He prefers to teach teenagers to practice pencak silat with a rattan in his hand.
It was much easier and more effective to teach silat to teenagers, the reason Munding at that time, of course greeted with tears from his students who always feel the friendly touch of a Munding rattan stick on their body.
Sukorejo people around Munding and Nurul know that the Munding family is not an ordinary family.
They may be poorly educated, but they can certainly catch something else if sometimes Sukolilo District level officials such as Danramil and Kapolsek sometimes have to come here when they need Munding help.
While they themselves have to come to Kades' office when facing, even though the Kades who needs their help.
Moreover, sometimes there are luxury cars that come and are parked in the yard of a simple house owned by Munding and Nurul which sometimes looks in stark contrast to the existence of a billion-dollar car.
Therefore, they know that the Munding family, behind the status of farmers, njai teachers and silat teachers owned by them, is, must have another status that can make the rich and influential people come and visit the family Munding with respect and full service.
Could Munding be a psychic or a shaman?
