Pariban So Rokkap

The Night After the Party

Finally the party ended very lively, sometimes what we think will be bad, not necessarily bad, it turns out even the opposite.

From the beginning when we were still in Jakarta, we thought that Lae Rudi's marriage would fall apart, because it was done with urgency and haste, he said, never expected that Lae Rudi's wedding party would be so lively, apparently our guesses were wrong, so festively lavish, all exceeding our expectations.

That night everyone was exhausted, my feet were cramped from standing back and forth as parlopes or servants.

“Pi .. please massage my calves, my feet go up calves,” moan mami, she grimaces, how not, mami all along the party always shake and dance and sawer everyone.

“Mami si too heppot earlier,” said sister Eva.

“That's not Arkan's mama heppot, that brother is just rejoicing, here I am the sort.” Aunt Ros who nibbles mommy's feet.

Oppung house back rame, more rame than when the oppung died, because almost all the family Nainggolan returned home from abroad, only aunty Candra who did not come because he was meditating in the hotel prodeo.

I'm glad our family didn't notice the aunt at the party, because I warned the family not to ask about the aunt to Candra and his wife, and they did, and they did, then that's Candra and Riko to be relaxed.

“The bride tomorrow-tomorrow just honeymoon, we sleep rame-rame just first here,” said mami.

The newlyweds face immediately flushed.

“Mami said that anyway, so shy about it,” said sister Eva.

“Wake up you guys first we talked a little about the party today,” said the bone from Bandung

All families who already look tired again sit back, as usual in every evening party there is always a discussion about expenses and income costs, as usual, because in the party there Batak there is also the term ‘give tumpak’ love help on who has a party.

“After finishing eating, now the discussion forum about the party is opened.

“We should give thanks to God Almighty, because our children's party went so well, this is all outside our expectations, I myself did not expect so many people present, even the Church to the brim, I myself was very surprised, but it was all thanks to the mercy of God and .. because I was the oppung Tika, if you are not diligent in coming to custom, to the feast, to the feast, unfriendly to people maybe they won't come, so it's worth being grateful for.

So healthy always brother yes, to take care of all our children, there are still five more people who will fight,” said bone.

My mother-in-law just nodded, her face looked very moved and happy because her son's marriage went well, after all the families gave words of welcome and congratulations to both brides, Now the discussion of costs.

The money that came in after counting the number, almost half, not to mention the saweran when lae Rudi sang with his wife, the voice of Lae Rudi was the same host bao it was good, indeed, as he sings a lot of money too, salute those who are good at singing.

So, for the cost of Lae Rudi's party this time, all covered because all the families contributed, even the brand can be more than the bone Bandung board member was contributing the most, so, so, very grateful because the family of the mother finally mature in thinking, they love each other.

That night there was no tension, no strife there were laughter and jokes .

“You all contribute the same Rudi, if I ride my same father here and the same Eda,” said mami, he took out two thick mplops given the same Lae Saut and the host-in-law, we were all shocked, he said, because usually mami is the most calculated and stingy, although she wants to give thanks usually a little nominal, but this time.

“Mami sehatan ..”Kak Eva put her palm on her forehead mami, all the family laughed.

“Ah babami …! Healthy”

(Ah, your mouth is .. be healthy) Eva's sister's arm was hit.

“Gak .. loh .. mami the holit mangging”

                 (Holite mangging> Pelit)

“Kan, giving a lot can be a blessing, you say that treasures will not be brought to death”

“That's right, then love as much as some of your gold that much,” said aunt.

“Yes Yes .!” aunt is excited, she chose a diamond mami earring that was worn during the party

We thought, mami joked, uh, it turns out that she was actually given, she even shared her mutia earrings with the family at home, they scrambled and the board house was noisy.

“What's with Bou?” Netta asked confused.

“Don't know, mommy visited by holy spirit kali”

“Padahat usually he is the most stingy same goods, eda Eva alone until it should not be minjam but here he is split,” said Netta again.

Sister Eva nailed her eyebrows looking at Netta.

“What according to Eda, healthy mom?” the whisper approached us there Netta.

“Healthy, but why is he suddenly acting like that?”

“That, maybe just a sense of gratitude Ito,” reply me again.

“Ya hopefully just”

But when mami shared her valuables for the papi family also supported.

“It .. mami's bracelet used just love there oppung Tika host, it's narrow in the hands of mami I look,” said papi.

“Don't ah, don't this .. Mr. Paima bought this for me.” Mami glanced at me.

It's been a long time that gold bracelet, I used to buy for my mother when she was birthday, but every time there is a party mom always wear the bracelet I bought, even though the gold bracelet is a lot.

“This is all for eda.” Mami opened the box in her bag and gave one golden bracelet to the host-in-law, everyone in the house grew increasingly boisterous.

‘Is mami okay? What exactly are they both thinking’ I asked in my heart, there is a fear also see the attitude of mami who suddenly became a benefactor.

“Mami seems to want this …. What would you like to ask?” Ask Eva's sister.

Mom's face was immediately serious, everyone instantly silent, he sighed.

“Yes, mami asks for pots and prayers, from itoku Siakkangan , my father “

(Yes, my mother asked for blessings and prayers from my late first brother) said mami tearfully.

The atmosphere was immediately silent.

“Sama eda and Saut, maybe I have been wrong for a long time, forgive my mistakes my edaku, because I reneged on a promise, I once said the same to the deceased ito, if I will keep Netta as a daughter-in-law in our house, it turns out I hurt her feelings, I am increasingly aware of my mistakes, maybe because of my mistakes, so they have not had children,” said the mother cried, saying, he apologized directly to Lae Saut and the Host-in-law.

Everyone became silent, seeing the mother hugging the host-in-law and Lae Rudi.

“It's over, we close the event first tonight, later, we all bones will feed them, also happen to be Candra and his wife come so all”

“Ya Mi, already yes, it's night, let us sleep,” refer Eva.

The evening was closed with prayer.
