The Adventures of Neu Pen'du
7. Disreputation
Mother's father, Namo and Nonai, appear in a horde of villagers.
"Where have you guys been? Why is that, look... Look at this, what happened to my granddaughter?"
Nonai's father, who first reacted, was surprised by the appearance of Nevt Pen'du, who had a different hair color.
"Father calm down" said Nonai.
"What a quiet, stupid boy, keep your children no becus! How can we not panic to see my grandson's hair change color like this!"
At this time the mother of Namo snapped towards Nonai, Nonai just smiled wryly at the reaction of her in-laws.
Nonai smiled at Namo for help.
"Mother, father-in-law. Take it easy let's talk inside my house, a lot of people see us here"
By the time Namo finished speaking there was an old voice replying within the horde of villagers.
"Explain here, so that all residents know what you have been living in outside the village. I don't want there to be a lot of gossabs spreading in the villagers"
"Village chief Najo" everyone saluted him.
The village chief Najo is the oldest living figure in the village. Maybe he's about 60. Although the look of his face has many wrinkles, but his body is still healthy and walks gallantly.
"Sorry village chief, but I'm confused where to start. Let's head to the center of the village first so everyone can sit comfortably as I explain"
Everyone arrived at the center of the village, Namo and Nonai were seated opposite the entire village.
"The disappearance of us started from the village flood yesterday, at first I want to say goodbye to the village head or at least to my parents or my in-laws. But it was already night time and conditions were not possible, that night I started to wander around the cliffs and forests that were behind our village then.."
Nonai is currently sitting embracing Nevt Pen'du right behind Namo who is telling a story.
Namo tells the story of his departure from the village, finding the cave, meeting the mysterious figure of Mr. Pendu, the great power of Mr. Pendu, naming his son named Nevt Pen'du and..
Before Namo continued his story, Najo the village chief snapped.
"FOUNDALLY STUPID! You did the ritual of naming your son to such an obscure figure? You are so disobedient! you tau? Our ancestors have prepared the ancestral stone for us, and the two of you don't appreciate that?"
Namo surprised. It was true that he never thought up to that direction, The matter of the ancestral stone that his ancestors had prepared for the naming ritual, indeed, in general effective do not appreciate even if they do not intend it that way.
Nonai was stunned, but a moment later he returned to normal.
"We really don't intend to be like that, let alone disrespect the Ancestor. But for the Blessings my son has received is more special than the blessings given by the Ancestral stone. I'll risk anything"
Nonai's bold words surprised everyone who was there.
More special than ancestral stones? Everyone is stunned.
A few seconds later, someone shouted
"More special than where? Because her hair color changed so? hahahaha what kind of parents are you? Give up the blessing of the ancestral stone for a change in hair color? You idiot! Too stupid!"
This man named Neg he was the only son of Najo's chieftain, he was the same age as Namo and Nonai.
He used to be Namo's rival for Nonai's love but since Nonai preferred Namo, he was heartbroken and turned up a grudge against both of them. Seeing that this moment was an opportunity to humiliate the couple, he took action.
After Neg's words were finished, everyone started laughing.
"Really! Who can match the Blessing of our Ancestral stone?"
"Yes right! The blessing of our Ancestral stone is truly miraculous and makes us able to survive in the sea!"
Many insults from the villagers because of the actions of Namo and Nonai that made their families embarrassed.
But Namo and Nonai have believed 100% in the power of blessing from Mr. Pendu. That's why their hearts are strong even though all villagers insult.
Namo and Nonai just kept quiet and listened to insults for the sake of insults, even though they were strong but different from their mother and father.
At that time the families of Namo and Nonai asked the village chief for permission to lead them back home.
Nonai who was currently looking at her family was extremely embarrassed, making her heart sliced. He and Namo began to apologize to their parents.
"Calm down. I believe in you guys"
"I believe in you too"
At this moment Namo's father and Nonai's mother who from the beginning just silently started talking.
"Dad"
"Mother"
Namo and Nonai begin to cry at the care of their parents.
"Rest. We'll be back tomorrow morning, it's getting dark. We go home first we continue tomorrow morning"
After saying that, Namo's father led his wife and two men out of the house.
While outside their son's house, Namo's father told Nonai's parents.
"Can I visit my house at this time? I want to talk about our grandchildren"
With a small nod, they began to walk to the mansion of the Namo extended family.
-------------
The next day as Namo prepared to start work, his parents and in-laws entered their home.
"Today I bring you a meal, for today there is no need to work. We will discuss the future of your son" said Namo's father.
They were gathered inside Namo's house. First to know the story of Namo in detail.
"Tell me your story that was cut off yesterday, tell it in detail with nothing less"
Namo starts telling stories and Nonai burns fish to eat the whole family.
When Namo told me the expressions of their families changed. Sometimes surprised, sometimes suspicious and others.
After Namo told him Namo's father looked at his grandson and turned to Nonai.
"Nonai explained what blessings my granddaughter received"
From the very beginning of his arrival, Namo's father never called out the name Mr. Pendu gave to his grandson. Making Nonai smile wryly.
"Father-in-law, maybe you won't believe it. But please listen to this until it's done"
"The blessing of Lord Pendu to Nevt Pen'du is a blessing that is exactly the same as the Ancestral stone"
The expressions of all those who were initially worried became calmer and began to be relieved because that was the blessing that they thought was most important for survival, but upon seeing Nonai wanted to continue again, that was the blessing that they thought was most important for survival, everyone became tense and focused more on listening.
Seeing his family's behavior Nonai began to smile and continued.
"The blessing of the Ancestral Stone is a blessing of swimming and diving science that is useful for working as a fisherman. But there is an addition to the blessing of Mr. Pendu, this is…"
"WHAT?"
Everyone became curious about Nonai's mysterious actions, making Namo smile happily.
"BREATHING IN WATER"
these 3 words made their parents stunned. BREATHING IN WATER?
