After driving for about thirty minutes I finally arrived at a friend's house, a house that was used as a meeting place for friends during college first.
Before getting out of the car I advised Netta.
“Dek ... These friends of mine are all mouth bar-bar all, no offense later ya.”
“Good.”
“Later if anyone asks about it again, just ignore it do not respond,” I said again.
“Alright Bang, I understand.”
Actually, I was a little worried about Netta because my friends were all talking about her.
“Welcome Bro …. Where's your pariban wife?” Bona Sianipar asked, the father of two children nudged my shoulders.
This is one of them, clearly he had seen me clutching Netta's palm.
“Ah .. Bon, obviously you see I'm a beautiful girl, this is my bini,’.
“How to know, you bring kayak backup first,” Bonar said.
‘Ah .. kampret ni ni ni the power pole, leverage the past’ said in my heart, fortunately Netta is immune to hearing such taunts about me.
Netta extended her hand and greeted all my friends. He mingled with them all, it turns out Netta can adjust also with the wife of friends.
“Jo, right your wife doctor?” ask my other friend.
“Iya dongabanku proud.”
“Suek .. true lu Jo, son of a delinquent can be a doctor's wife,” cletuk Rita, she was a popular girl first in our campus.
Looking at the responses of all of them, I asked in my heart, is that such a jerk that I was in the past?
I saw Netta who was laughing sweetly while chatting with a friend. Netta is very good at matching with a delinquent like me.
Indeed, after I realized, God betrothed a married couple with different attitudes and characters, for example; Papi and Mami.
Papi is a patient man, in a match with a mother who has a stubborn attitude. Sister Eva is a chatty woman, firmly match with her husband well, not much to say, and lastly I was with Netta.
My friends no one mocked and asked strangely as in the words of Aunt Candra, instead they encouraged me.
“Don't be too made a burden lae, I also seven new years dikasih” said Kevin si Regar.
My college friends are almost seventy percent Batak people because I used to study at UKI
“Iya right that, do not also make you dizzy is ,” said the Bonar again, Batak man from Parapat, my delinquent friend also while in college.
“Fear , worry there must be Lae, not one year or two years, but it's been six years,”.
“Lae .. try to do as we used to do, how to know yes, I am not doubting the power of God, but it's good we try,” said Kevin.
“What's lae?” Askaqua.
“Go to your bone house, ask at their same pots as we did.
(Pasu-pasu> Thanks)
“But my bone-in-law Lae.”
“Your bones are not one right, come to your bone house later you will be given a goldfish one tail on the rice tray, in the tray, you two are fed and wrapped around the yeast ulos hotang, in custom said in the andor na.”
“Maybe she used to tar allang vows, or inedible vows. If I was Lae honest …. I did, I once promised my bones to marry his son and make him happy, but I denied it, I graduated college and married someone else,”.
So when I asked for the pots, apologizing to come to the same bone house wife, even I took my mother and father there, we were finally given the same bone deckke, the same bone, a few months later the wife immediately became pregnant,” Kevin said.
“Bukan Bon, not manonggoti, if manonggoti or surprised, it's for the unfortunate, this event ask in prayer so that in the twilight andor” reply Kevin.
(In lilit andor> term have children)
Kevin knows a lot about Batak customs, because he was originally born Samosir just like Netta, only Netta in Dolok Martahan and Kevin in Mogang.
(Tar allang perah> inedible vow)
Hearing Kevin's words, honestly, my hair was goosebumps, I realized one thing. The day before Netta's bones died, that afternoon before the bones went to climb the sapling, I promised her I would keep the drill and not hurt her, but I hurt her.
‘What because of it?’ my question is in my heart.
Actually before that, it was also said that the name of you who live in London like that to me, I did not respond to it because I thought my own bones in-laws.
However, when I heard Kevin's story, I thought it wouldn't hurt to try it.
“Lae know right suhi-suhi term appang na opat?”
“Know little lae.”
“Actually we have to apply that in our household,” Kevin said.
So, there are more traditional stories in batak that is, mambosuri, mammoholi, manonggoti or Indonesian language in making a shock, actually this manonggoti event, often used for the affected, for example his house fire, fire, the accident came when the family brought food into his place without knowing who had a house, and they were fed or fed with goldfish. This manonggoti event is what Kevin advised us to do.
After talking to each other at length with these young fathers, I got a lot of views, I thought I was okay. It turned out that my heart was melting as well, right after I realized from so many of my friends only I had no baby, saw their children running around and calling my friends my father my heart was sad.
‘Why is it like this? At home there was also my niece running around sister Eva's son and Arnita's son, I didn't feel sad let alone envious. But why here I feel so miss’ I'm implying.
My heart grew sadder as Netta carried the smallest of Bonar's children.
‘God give me a child I also want like they are carrying a child and called father’ whispered me expectantly in my heart.
I thought about what Kevin said, maybe later we will discuss this with Netta and the family, if that's the way it can be, I'm willing to do it.
