Mbah Bardi who sat next to Mak Jah had only occasionally interrupted our conversation. My mom is very understanding and they are a romantic couple, at least in my opinion.
Mak Jah is older than Mbah Bardi. Mak jah has been widowed three times when he met with Mbah. They met because they worked at a restaurant in Surabaya.
Mak jah is a beautiful figure whose face is white, his nose is sharp, his body is tall, slim and his beauty is still visible until his age is advanced. Mak Jah is a figure who is a lot of talk, fierce but hardworking and enterprising work and very frugal. With the mbah job that only factory workers they can even buy land and make a house on it.
Formerly my mother was married to a teacher najai Gresik people, pedicab also from Gresik and a rich merchant from Mojokerto, but did not last long. The first and second mother Jah asked for divorce because she said she did not like it anymore. Although her husband and in-laws tried to persuade her but Mak Jah remained tight-lipped on her stance.
Whereas with merchants whose status is widower many children mak Jah Actually not worthy (no like, no love) but still married him. After marriage, they did not sleep in bed.
Until one day when the night there are voices that look like thieves and mak Jah is frightened then approached to her husband's bed.
The sleeping merchant was shocked because his wife suddenly snorted at him. Then he asked, "lapo?"
"Shutt, menengo wong!. onok maling" said mak Jah then hugged the body of her rich husband. Since then mak jah deserves her husband and wants to sleep in bed with her husband. But shortly after that the rich merchant died. Surprisingly mak jah did not want to accept the inheritance for her as a wife. He said"kulo mriki nggowo nopo-nopo metu yo ngggowo nopo-opo."
Mbah Bardi is patient, calm, kind and loving. And very good cooking. Any cook it tastes very delicious, make fried sambal tofu, fried rice, sambal soy sauce, soto, satay mak nyus taste. Though the spice is not how much and do not use micin as well but the taste never lies (if now anyone can be an expert in cooking because the seasoning of each dish is already in the form of packaging, so just stay in. era know mah so easy all)
Countless times I hurt my mother but she was patient. I've always spoiled her about a lot of things. When there are tasks to photograph copy, make crafts such as irus, make flowers, or draw I must ask for help on mbah.
Mak Jah kepincut same Mbah Bardi who is young and clear. His age is far below mak jah, maybe this beautiful widow fell in love and stunned at brondong. Although the word mak Jah he received Mbah Bardi because Mbah is an orphan whose life is sad.
Indeed since childhood Mbah Bardi joined people to become servants with wages to be fed and schooled. But her female employer was so evil. If he finds clothes that have been washed and are on the sun still looks dirty then the clothes on the clothesline will be pulled all and dropped to the ground and then stepped onstepped by him.
If the Mbah version of Bardi why would accept mak Jah because he said he was teased continuously by mak Jah. I don't know what's right what's wrong.
But one time I was angry at Mak Jah and then mbah confided to me. "mak pean iku njekarno, my girlfriend does not liveno, belani daweke saiki koyok te*lek" he said with annoyance. all those years only once I saw Mbah Bardi was angry. I don't know what Jah's mother did until she felt so upset.
"Nate nggadah tah mbah girlfriend, tiyang pudi?" I wonder one day.
"Poor child, areke ayu, kalem, nurut" said mbah sad.
