My Sacrifice is worthless

My Sacrifice is worthless
The Mom of POV Meeting




I'm Anna. I knew him when he visited my village. That night there was a music show we called jonggan. The event is held if there is a wedding or gratitude because the harvest is abundant.


I was helping my aunt at a stall selling food and drinks. That night, quite a lot of people were present to enjoy the event.


"Mba, make it three ice," he ordered.


"You want ice what bang?"


"Es green beans waja," he added with a smile. A very sweet smile and I returned that smile bashfully.


"It's the ice bang," say put the ice on the table.


"How many stews, Mba?"


"Thousand rupiahs, Bang,"


He and his friends ate the corn while chatting. Sometimes he glances at me.


"May you know his name, Mba?" tanyakanya.


"Anna, you?" shyly answer.


"I, Adi. What a beautiful name. How am I just seeing you now, huh? I often watch jonggan here," he explained.


"Yes, I just got back from town. Long time working there."


"Oh .. so. Worth it," she smiled.


We chatted casually that night. The night was late and the show was almost finished. He said goodbye and promised tomorrow night would come again because the event would take place for three nights in a row.


"So who's Na?" ask aunt.


"Damn, Bi. I stopped by here to drink and eat corn" I replied.


"For so long she's here, lest she have a crush on you, Na?" search aunty.


"Ah, there's no way Bi, we're new to it" I explained.


"Yes Bi. I understand," I replied. Here, customary law is still used for people who violate societal norms. However, there are still many who violate it and almost every week here held the customary law. They have to provide our typical cut animals, pay customary fines and much more.


Tonight was a lot of visitors. Aunty and I were busy serving the buyer. So I realized he had been sitting in my stall long enough. Auntie went inside to eat.


"It's been a while, Bang?" my many.


"From now on, I don't want to interfere with your work. Don't you want to watch?" tanyakanya.


"I have to look after my Auntie's shop, Bang. Besides, I'm tired of having to stand in a crowd" I explained.


"Oh ... Then same dong."


"Come here if you don't like watching?"


"To meet you," he replied timidly.


My face was red with shame. She smiled at me. Do I like it?


"May I be close to you?" whispered.


"Bring your parents here to propose to her," Aunt answered suddenly.


Adi seemed to think for a while while looking down. Does he mind my aunt's request? If yes, I doubt it. Maybe he was just trying to play games with me. Adi raised her head and looked at me, I immediately turned my gaze in another direction.


"Alright, Bi. Give me a week to bring my parents here" he replied.


I'm so glad to hear that. I guess he'll step down after hearing Aunt's request. Bibi said she would wait for her family to propose to me. He was very pleased with me and Aunt.


"Wait for me, huh? I'll come with my family" he said gently.


I just nodded in agreement with it.
