Pioneering Life in the Land of the Region

CHAPTER 2 WAS SURPRISED

the sound of adzan magrib reverberated.We were still in the middle of the journey to my village.

"bang me laper, we rest first ya find food all prayer right?" rengekku because since lunch has not had time to eat. too fun to travel on T*m*n l*Ng*t until we forget lunch. only eat snacks to prop up the stomach.

"have we stopped in front of that? there is a lalapan shop opposite there is a mosque" he said

"ok ..." I replied enthusiastically

***

"why is diem hmmm?" asked bang Azraf without looking at me. He still greedily bribed the rice into his mouth.

"the chicken is still there" my whine coded it because I was so hungry.

"cepet very eat hahaha brother's wife is still lager anyway? the nanya want to add?" tanyanya while mocking. I nodded spoiled.

"yes the rice has added a portion just for the two, do not much ntar you add fat again if most eat hahaha" ledek bang Azraf.

"yes yes yes yes yes. I'm a laper bang abisnya from lunch do not eat rice"

"you are invited to eat even apertar, the preoccupation of selfies"

"hehehey"

After the meal and Maghrib prayer we continued the journey home.it took about 1 hour to get home.

"Alhamdulillah has reached home again" I said as I lowered my backpack and by.

"you take a shower first, let Brother get it right"

"yes bang"

"do not forget the prayer of Isyak"

"yes yes"

"how did you go home? he said 2 days?" my papa came out of the house of prayer asking.

"a-anu pa did not become 2 days hehe. yesterday was enough really" I said looking for an excuse. Not ready to tell the truth now. without much more talk I immediately went to the bathroom to clean the body. so I could immediately sleep. I was tired it felt. the night was a little quiet. because Mbahkung and Mbah ibuk have rested first.

"thank you bang today I'm happy" I said as I hugged bang Azraf who was lying down playing his phone.

"Alhamdulillah if you are happy Brother is also happy dear, and you do not need to thank me like that. it is precisely Brother who apologizes because it can not be what you expect" bang Azraf returned my embrace while kissing my forehead.I nodded while tightening his embrace.

"it's boobok there so that the dawn is not bad luck"

"yes bang"

****

days passed, calls from my husband's family always never absent. every 2 days always call us. I was immune to hearing their conversations like numb my ears. I have been sincere and resigned to follow the plot.until the time comes now we decided to be frank to the people of the house about our return.first we will ask permission to my papa. because papa can understand us the most. then I will permit to Mbah my mother, mas masku and lastly my mother.

"Paa.." call me.

"what's up nduk"

I pulled bang azraf's hand out to sit together in the living room with papa.

"a-anu pa, look"

"why is it not so confusing as to say, by the way.what is hmmm?"

"later this month, Azraf went to S****" said I stammered.

"last month, okay?"

I nodded slowly

"on what day?"

"hariii.. anuu pa" I was confused, because I did not know what day the plan was to leave.

"if it is still willing to see the schedule of the ship first pa. next Tuesday insyaallah there is a ship" finally bang Azraf spoke.

"the cepet e? don't wait for abis lebaran?"

we explain what is, what really happened in the Azraf bang family to papa. lama papa pondering finally allowed. 'huuh finally 'inner me. but it seems like it was only permission to bang Azraf.

"paa.. a-anu plan I want to go directly with you, ask for help genengan talk to mama later". I ventured to talk. when else? there is no time anymore.it is time to discuss this permit again. because we will also greet other relatives to say goodbye.

papa nodded small.whether what does he mean.allow or still think?. I finally fell silent and did not dare to say anymore.

although papa can understand the most. but his attitude of self-preservation scares me a little. afraid to offend his heart or even make him angry. Because if not papa who else will understand me?. mama and Mbahkung are very stubborn people, and a little contrary to me if there is a debate. Ibuk mbah? there is a rank 2 after papa. but the attitude of mbah ibuk weighs a little. if this is how then how, there is not a solution instead so dizzy. 'well that's their uniqueness, and,I must patiently explain this permit, my inner bismillah

****

After a long time I seduced Mbah ibuk, gave him an explanation finally Mbah ibuk understood and we were allowed.

"buk . . . Genengan clearin to mbahkung nggih? let's not misunderstand"

"Yes wis nduk, do not need to think about the problem of Mbahkung e, later do not help to talk".

'Alhamdulillah'in me

the next day we went to say goodbye to the house of my brother and sister.they were a little surprised but Alhamdulillah could understand. Some of them also cried powerless to resist the sadness of having to part with me. but naturally because our memories are very much.if mas masku, they have no problem. today thankfully all mas masku gather so all I clarify again to them. until then my phone rang.

drrrtt drrrttt

'mama' muttered

"assalamualaikum ma" I said

"greetings waalaikum, piye nduk?"

"what about toh ma?"

"why not mom? why suddenly nduk? yesterday when nganter mama to the airport, mama thought you guys are still a long time.This is now even ndadak, why after all son" sounded like angry holding back crying across there.

"do not wait for abis lebaran aja after all nduk...nduk hhhh?"

finally I explained at length seducing mama until finally the sound of mama slightly died down.

"mama just started working here son can not give sangu hand to sampean, mama also can not imagine your life there son. none of your family there.you alone son. yes consider yourself even though there is your husband, mama can not if until what will happen later" Isak crying is now heard

"insyaallah bang Azraf will take care of his wife kok ma. continue to pray continuously. the prayers of parents cepet granted God.no need to be confused mama gave sangu to me ma. I still have a stash of money. and when I was there my life was already borne by my husband.so mama don't worry too much. Importantly doain we continue, if there is a fortune later we will be able to go home to the family here" I said explain to my mom.

"yes mama knows son, but still mama worries you why why why. away from the supervision of mama papa"

"ma. insyaallah I'm fine. basically do not break the prayer ma, doain us smooth the windfall so that we can often come home here"

"yes son for sure. mama was just shocked by the news from your mas. You did not bother mama so mama thought you came home waiting for Eid"

"sorry ma I did not ngabari mama because he asked for help papa to explain to mama"

"yes already nduk. later mama said the same papa, but you remember pesen mama yes son if already there. take care of yourself. you do not have anyone there far from your family"

"yes, I will always remember my mother's message"

"where's your dad mama wants to talk"

I'm handing my phone to papa

I don't know what I'm talking about, it seems like my mom suggested that you take me to S**** before you were actually released as a child.

"later papa also join nganter you nduk to S****" said papa while putting my phone on the living room table then papa turned to me

"so it's true that you want to go straight to nduk?" ask papa

"yes pa, yesterday I told papa"

"papa thinks you want to take to the port of nak not to.." papa's face turned lethargic.so that's why yesterday papa only nodded when I let him go. Papa misunderstood.

"actually it's okay if Shafa here I used to have no problem, abis lebaran only if you want to go home" bang Azraf voiced trying to give a choice back.

"yes do not do le.. cook husband and wife live separately even though only a few months, do not Yo until kebelet, what else is still a newlywed kayak gini, still strong strong strong" finally mbak husna, my brother-in-law defended me. 'alhamdulillah'my heart was indeed before I often vent to mbak husna about this matter.thankfully mbak husna was on my side.

"yes it's okay if your decision is unanimous to immediately join your bojom, it's up to you two, who undergo you two" continued mbak husna spoke to me

"i thought until I had talked myself to mama nduk" said mas Bakti, my oldest mas.

"mama tau from mas Bakti nduk, yesterday call your mas trus ya talk" said mbak husna straighten out

"what's wrong mbak, my fault also did not talk to my mother.because I've been tipped to papa to explain to mama but already I already know it too, right?"

"yes wis is nothing nduk Le if your decision has been unanimous papa allow. the important thing about family pesen here, later papa join nganter you all nitip nitip to besan" papa's voice is now trying harder.

I understand for sure papa heavy take off his youngest daughter.His favorite child.and there is no way a father let his daughter go just like that.This is a form of paternity affection to his daughter after his son is married. delivering his new family to his new environment.like the word handover to his besinya.

"iya nduk inget pesen pesen family here, not always the family is sweet continue.for sure yes there is a hook" said mas Bakti

"alongside pa..mas"

now the permission of the family was pocketed.but suddenly there was the sound of sobs approaching from the kitchen.

"nduk nduk ...huuuu huu" the voice of the mbahkung was sighed by his cry. he stepped a little quickly towards me.

"nggih Mbah"

"duk be right, what does your mother say?" said Mbahkung while hitting my back

"sepuntene Mbah, cry not" I said, kissing her hand.

"kok tega sampaan son, ninggalin Mbah who is old" his cry became more and more so.

"sepuntene Mbah" now I sit on his feet.

"sampean this unattended start small son, ask what do not follow, O God is now a big already a wife of people. Mbah. Mbahkung can not be far from Mbah's favorite grandson,,,,huuuu huuu"still crying I hear.

"your mother didn't come home, son, now she wants to go too"

"mbaaaah.. I went to serve my husband Mbah. continue prayer may we smooth the wind so that we can often visit here"

finally I ventured to speak trying to calm the mbahkung who had not yet subsided his crying.

"pray Lebaran later can go home, the genengan prayer inshaallah quickly granted by God"

"gini suddenly nduk?"

"sepuntene ngggih Mbah, kasian mother-in-law alone there is no one to help work, if the night is lonely. as a child this is the form of devotion my husband Mbah to his mother, and also my form of devotion to my husband is to go wherever he goes"

Mbah was still crying

"don't cry Mbah, pray for us to keep the windfall so that we can look at the altar as often as possible"

"That you can't say anything else, son, you're sad you live like this"

"sepuntene Mbah"

"yes, if that's your decision, son, only prayers can be given, take care of yourself there"

"that's more than enough, God willing"

I said as I sat down in the guest room.

"the important thing is to continue his prayer on Mbah, later if kangen can often video call, genengan do not cry continuously Mbah, sepuntene" I continued.

"yes yes"

finally Mbahkung allowed us. after a long time explained. I felt guilty for making mbahkung cry, making papa sad and making mama shocked. but hopefully slowly Laun will all turn into laughter with the presence of grandchildren.

'o Allah grant Your Mercy to the family of servants, replace their sorrow with the tidings of happiness' my prayer in heart.

seriate...
