Pariban So Rokkap

At Kerjai On Birthday.

Hearing the word of a special gift from Netta, I immediately went home, when I got there, it turns out the family had gathered at the house of mami. All the big families from Nainggolan are at home, my heart has been beating unbecoming when I saw the row of cars in front of the house mami, my heart was already beating, I think papi is not responsible to celebrate my birthday this year, because it invites bones from Bandung as well.

“Papi, there is no need to do a birthday celebration like this, I think this is excessive,” I murmured slowly, when I want to park, my car to not get to the parking lot. Having no parking space, I had to close my way out.

Entering my mom's house, my mom's house until it's full, when I get in, I think there's a big welcome or birthday greeting for me because this is my show, it turns out ....

“Oh, you have come Mang, here sit,” said mami, then they all dissolve in serious discussion.

‘I think the family gathered just to celebrate my birthday .. oh it turns out to discuss the party, oh good’.

I sat quietly beside papi, there was nothing to mention about my birthday, I felt relieved, I was embarrassed if the family came all the way from Bogor and Bekasi just to discuss, birthdays. So the purpose of the family gathering to discuss the party, hearing the bone discuss the party I felt calm.

“So How, Ito does the party alap Sell what taruhon sell?”

Alap Sell > Batak custom party on the side of women

Taruhon Jual> Custom party on male side

“Who will marry Pi?” My whisper is the same papi.

“Your old mama's son in Bekasi”

So the son of an old mother, the sister of a cousin of her daughter's mother will get married, but the family of the boy asked for a party will be held at the home of the old mother in Bekasi, Bekasi, the old mama objected because she also did not have a husband who would take care of all the parties, so she negotiated with her brothers and family, so she negotiated, as it is known to take care of the traditional Batak wedding party is very draining energy, energy, time even a lot of stress thinking about the party, because that's why the old mamak confer with his brothers, his brother, all the families agreed and wanted to help the old mama to take care of the party.

I was still sitting, looking right-left, the house of mami was really crowded because of all the arisan as well.

“You first eat Mang, mami cook arsik fish earlier,” said papi.

“Later. Where's Eva? I didn't see the three of them?”

“There is in the room, maybe the baby is fussy,” said papi.

“I want to go to Pi” room

“No need here, you have to learn about customs like this, so do not be stupid like papi,” he said again.

‘Yes, but I'm curious about the gift Netta’ will give me.

Everyone still looks serious about hearing about the party, but I was thinking that everyone came just to celebrate my birthday, but when I sat down for a long time there was nothing to say about birthdays, my mom and aunt who were sitting not far from the seat did not even say happy birthday, if usual aunt always memorize the birthday of the three of us and always say either by message or calling.

‘Maybe later after the family home’ I thought in my heart, still choosing to sit quietly.

Not long after Netta and Eva's sister came to serve coffee and snacks for the family, because the meal was finished only serving light meals for the afternoon. I was still busy watching Netta hoping she would sit next to me. But in fact, he was just indifferent, not even greeting.

“I'll just eat Pi, I'm already hungry”

“Ya is there”

I was looking for an excuse to talk to Netta, but when I went to the kitchen only Bi Atun was in the kitchen Netta and Kak Eva was sitting in the front.

“You ate Bang? let me make” Bi Atun asked.

“No need Bi, I'm at work like this, I go to their kitchen ahead, I was in front of them in the room, I want to see about what the surprise is this time, I want to see,” said smile, I sit back.

I waited patiently, looking at the indifference of all our families, I thought that if they worked together to work, I was antispasi that they would all give me a surprise.

But in the afternoon before night, nothing happened even though it was a free event.

“We go home yes Bang,” said Aunt Ros.

“Bend the red date of school holidays, so can relax wait first ,” persuade mami.

“Ah .. work, at home a lot,” said aunty he carrying her bag in the follow the other family.

‘Aw no surprise turns out ..’ I smile and feel stupid for expecting a surprise reset like a little boy’ I'm cursing myself.

“We also go home Pi, pity this grandpa kemalaman”

“You don't want to?” Ask mami.

“No first, next time just”

All the families wanted to go home I was still silent like a confused person, suddenly Netta also came down, carrying a bag.

“We also go home bou all, tomorrow I work”

“Let's be later  …. Mr. Paima also has not eaten”

“Let's eat at our house”

Hearing Netta mention work again, my emotions rose again. When I was forced to come home from the office, there was nothing, I was angry.

“So you told me to come home here, what do you want?”

“That's your sister's son old mama, want to marry when you don't hear Mang,” said papi.

“That's just a discussion of Pi's party, you don't need young people like me”

When I was angry again, bone boy Gres shouted, ask me to move the car because the car is blocking the exit, when I came out to move the car in front of me there was a car Lae Arkan and Lae Arkan went on a motorcycle to buy Jeny's milk, so be all excited and can not get out.

“Lah ... how do we go home?” aunt Ros asked, pointing to her car that was stuck.

“Yes, we will wait for Mr. Arkan to come home,” said papi to calm all noisy families because they can not get out.

“Na, later remove it yourself if lae Arkan has returned,” I said give the key to Juna's hand.

“Loh kok I lae, we want to go home Loh”

“I want to eat, I'm hungry!”

Walking back into the house, upset.

“Don't get angry, later get old, we eat first and then you go home, let's papi temenin.” Papi pulled my hand into the kitchen.

“Please, not hungry, later at home”

“Mami has cooked a lot, it is not good not to eat before going home,” refer Kak Eva again.

“Netta wants to go home Pi, he hustles because he wants to work tomorrow,” I said angry.

“Work, tomorrow morning Bang, dulah, later you ask for dinner again at home, lazy I woke up again, because I want a lot of rest, tomorrow must work,” said Netta.

Hearing the verb again, I wanted to feel like I was punching the wall until it collapsed, my chest felt really hot.

Papi pulls my hand to eat, it turns out that in the kitchen already aunty and mommy holding a birthday cake and followed all the other families.

They managed to prank until they wanted to explode, I was still silent because I was angry, suddenly all the families who wanted to go home were back home again by singing birthday songs, they were all laughing, he said, pleased pranking. But I still feel very upset. It's the most annoying birthday surprise of my entire life.

“Blow the candle, if you are still angry later I will not give you a special gift, would not?” netta whiskey.

“Mau”

“Yes, don't be angry anymore, there is your bone here, brother must be polite and friendly," whispered Netta.
