because my mother and father are different tribes, they married with full conflict from both sides, both from the mother's family, let alone from the papa family.
mama is a brave woman and a little temperament, sweet in height, but well proportioned, with a typical eastern face, sweet black skin and long hair.
my papa, tall thin with shady eyes, she's the youngest child less fortunate, her school is only up to Grade 3 Elementary, but she's my idol.
"kang... do you not regret having a wife like me..? " mama said, looking me in the eyes of my father.
"i don't regret it baby, which I'm afraid of, even you who regret having a poor husband like me".
sahut papaku, while stroking mama's cheek.
in those days it was difficult to marry people from different tribes but because the love of both was really strong, then nothing could prevent the two people from getting married.
by wearing a typical suit to marry in that era, namely black pants and a white shirt plus black peci. papa and his family came to the family residence mama...
my papa hair at that time was long, even though he wanted to get married, he still maintained his hair, should be if you want to get married, you have to shave first to be neat and look handsome.
so they set out even though papa was still gondrong ala young people at that time.
indeed, in that era, around the 70s, the fashion that hits teenage boys is long hair, tight shirts, cut bray pants... hehe, don't you think..??
if the girl fashion is a mini dress that is half thigh high, plus long hair that is spread waist, sexy....

"i accept, marriage and marriage , maria bint tukiman with dowry a set of prayer tools paid cash." papaku pledge smoothly..
"how are brothers legitimate? "ask na'ib
"saaahhh" as everyone present spoke.
the wedding was only attended by the nuclear family and close friends of papa and Mama
after the ijab qobul event, followed by a friendly event, with simple dishes..
my mother, Maria is a jovial girl who comes from the Javanese tribe who migrated since graduating Junior High to Bandung
while papaku asep, originally from the Sundanese tribe, was a young man who did not go to school because of economic factors but he did not stand by, he worked odd jobs as a rough porters.
maybe that's why Mama's family disagrees with their relationship because according to her brother Mama's uwak lidya, my papa can not be relied on to guarantee Mama's future.
on the side of my papa family, whose mindset is ancient, is a taboo to marry another tribe because, it is said to bring bad luck later on.
*****
my brave mama, still strong, even living in an uncomfortable environment, there is nothing good about her.
he's determined to survive as long as he stays by Papa's side.
papa's brother is good when in front, because of the nature of the hard mama, he does not hesitate to scold the person who offended him if he feels in the right side.
their domestic life runs in full deprivation because papa's work is only manual labor, sometimes long idle, sometimes,
uwak Jamal, Mama's sister, often sent her ration rice because she was a soldier and not married, so it was enough to help the new family's economy.
that's how my parents' life at the beginning was so stressful but Mama was happy because she could be married to her beloved man.
in the second year of their marriage was born I was given the name "ryani andini".
at that time it was not uncommon to give birth in a midwife or doctor, mama gave birth to me at home, with the help of a child shaman, named mak itih.
at that time the air was very comfortable and cool, the sun was shining with shade, in the rice field was harvest season, all came down, therefore my grandmother could not wait for the mother who was going to give birth, before going to the rice field, before going to the rice field, and then she was born, she called me to help with my mother's delivery.
my papa waited as we prayed as best he could, he held my mother's hand, tried to calm her down.
with sweat pouring guided by mak itih, mama strained, full of struggle, and I was born.
"hello my world dataaang!!!!"
I was born with an above average weight, almost four kilos, so therefore, I am very adorable. with round cheeks, very funny, round and reddish like an apple.
