Towards noon, Fattan and Farhan carved a wide smile. Each of the men managed to fish, and then only two, one Fattan, one Farhan. Just one, but his smile was perfect.
"Normally if Om fishing in a day can how much?" asked Fattan while paddling towards the mainland.
"No punishing. Sometimes it's just one, two, three, it can't even be at all" Om Zain replied.
"Here the fish is not every day the fish continue, there is a season. If the season of bloated fish, yes bloated fish that will be much in the can. If the season of skipjack fish, then the skipjack fish are widely obtained. Anyway many. Different ways to fish snapper, tattooed fish, gurara fish and some other types of fish" explained Om Zian.
"You have a college here, I'll choose to teach here. The view is good, the environment is clean and beautiful. Eat fresh fish, vegetables without preservatives. Peaceful safe here. Just last night here I was at home" said Farhan while looking at the ocean.
At home, Fadila and Sakia were boiling cassava leaf vegetables. They'll make vegetable anointing. Not only vegetables, they also boil cassava and sweet potatoes and keladi/lase that can be eaten. If they usually use a gas stove, then in the village they cook on a stove using firewood.
"Mama, take a look at this fish" Azam held Papa Farhan and Om Fattan.
"Hahahahaha" Fadila and Sakia's laughter broke. "That's a fish or something" Sakia said seeing the little Maki fish.
"It's fish. This fish results in fishing half a day that Papa and Om get" explained Azam with a big smile.
"What!!" Sakia and Fadila rounded their eyes. While Aunt Lisa laughed out loud.
"Rather than not being able to" said Fattan sticking out her tongue. The man entered the bathroom through the kitchen.
"Sok-sokan want to go fishing" said Fadila. "The fish in your pants are bigger than the fish you are fishing with" continued Fadila casually but responded to laughter by Sakia and Aunt Lisa.
"By, instead of me and Fattan not having a job, mending us join Om Zain and Om Zian. Take a look at this" Farhan showed the bucket of fish he was holding. "This is Om Zain and Om Zian" he smiled.
"Sister, can Kia see?" ask Sakia. His eyes sparkled to see the fresh fish in the sizable bucket
"Here" Farhan handed Sakia a bucket of fish. Sakia picked it up and created a big smile on her lips.
"Sister Fadila, we eat fresh fish" Sakia said touching the fish that was still moving.
"You want to eat grilled fish or yellow gravy fish?" ask Aunt Lisa.
"Fire it, Auntie. Grilled fish and lemon colos that Nurin had made in Makassar. But I don't know how to make it. Does Aunt know what I mean?" sakia answered the question. Hope Aunt Lisa knows what Sakia means.
"Auntie understands. Later we make grilled fish and lemon colos that you mean" said Aunt Lisa smiling.

Since they are in the village and the house of Pak Adis is also not too big, then they use the tradition in the Tiber village, where men eat first, after the men finish eating, then they use the tradition in the Tiber village, it was the turn of the women and children to eat.
After lunch, Sakia and Fadila clean up the dirty dishes. Again, it is not like in the city. At Mr. Adis' house, the dishwasher outside, next to the kitchen by the water times. Sakia and Fadila are washing dishes because Aunt Hanin is pregnant. Om Zain's wife has a two-month-old baby. And Om Zian's wife has a baby that's only three weeks old.
"Sir Fattan, please take care of the twins" Sakia asked.
"Fadila lookout!" fattan Letters.
Fadila smiled and then rinsed her hand. "Thank you my sister" said Fadila smilingly pinching her brother's cheek.
Sakia and Fadila join another family while Fattan and Farhan wash dishes. In the family room, Om Fakri was scolding Alif who had just arrived, whether the man was from where. Since morning Alif has been out of the house and only returned after people finished lunch.
"Quick into the kitchen! Help Brother and Mas Farhan wash dishes" said Om Fakri.
"Yes.." reply Alif pouty. Alif approached Fattan and Farhan at the dishwasher. Arriving in the kitchen, he was again scolded by Fattan.
"Where have you been? Do you want your first night off" Fattan asked to scare Nakuti.
"What hell! Who wants his first night off!" ketus Alifs.
"Eat him, don't wander. Two more days you kabul. The disaster nobody knows. Instead of sitting at home you are wandering" Farhan advised.
"Yes, Mas. From now on I will sit pretty at home" Alif smiled.
Fattan washes the dishes, Farhan separates the leftovers while Alif rinses the dishes. That's the division of duties between Fattan, Farhan and Alif. After washing the dishes, the three lifted the plate and placed it next to the dish rack. Then they join the others.
"Grandmother is very diligent" praised Grandma Eka looking at the three men she loved so much. Even though Farhan was only the husband of Fadila, they and their families considered Farhan to be a grandson.
......🍁🍁......
Two days later
Alif looked nervous in the room. Repeatedly the man repeated the phrase kabul ijab so that later he could say it out loud. And so is Ferri. Ferri was at Mr. Sam's house while Alif was at Mr. Adis' house. Both men will perform kabul ijab on the same day with different hours.
"Alif, come on baby" call Aunt Hanin.
"Mama, I'm nervous" Alif said tensely.
"Hahahaha" Aunt Hanin laughed. "Don't strain, you'll pass out later. Do you want Jono to replace you. The Jono is at Nurin's house right now" Aunt Hanin said, scaring the nakuti.
"I will not let the old man take Nurin from me" said Alif then out of the room and sat in the middle of the house, as is customary in the village of Nurin.
While at Nurin's house, Si Jono sat cross-legged with the other elders. They were waiting for Alif and his entourage to arrive. The Jono looked pouted, because he could not match the handsome and rich Alif.
"If I hadn't given Nurin a loan of money, she wouldn't have worked in the city. And he won't meet the man" said Si Jono, a man with two wives.
"It is certain that the old man is cursing" the inner woman who is none other than the first wife of Si Jono.
