The Father's Choice
Mainland
The next day as planned, my second brother and my youngest brother came to our house to gather in the living room.
"As we talked about yesterday Sin, fill this house for me because right now you have money and the first brother also can not come then we hope you can classify," said my second brother after a short chat.
"May I get involved in this conversation, brother?" ask bang Parlin suddenly.
"Please say what you want to say" said my brother, allowing bang Parlin to come talk with us.
"If you want the contents of this house please take everything, empty this house there is nothing left because we can buy it new and you need more" said bang Parlin.
I who heard it was also shocked I never imagined that bang Parlin was really upset that the contents of this house were also revealed.
"Why is that Parlin? don't be arrogant you're asking a lot of money to do arbitrarily to you don't want to help you anymore," said my brother who I see being emotional.
"Yes the same brother who calculated it, so stingy are you" said my brother-in-law.
"That calculation and stingy yes you are not us, the new seven days father died you have talked about the inheritance and sold this house to share, he said, it is not enough with this house that the contents in the form of a bed you want too even though we have increased the amount of money to buy this house, we should not behave like this Sister! remember my father's message before he went on Hajj we should live in harmony should not be jealous of each other," I told my brother.
"Who is jealous? we do not envy you Sinta for what we envy villagers like you do not deserve to make us envious," said my sister-in-law.
"As much as you want, just take all the contents of this house we'll buy a new one," said my husband and left me with my brother who was silent when he heard the words bang Parlin implied anger there.
I also felt surprised why the usually patient Parlin bang now looks upset and tired, I immediately followed him into the room.
"What is the reason why the tumble is crispy? usually you are always patient" I said in surprise.
"Sir, you know, you're so upset to see your brother's behavior, you also wonder why you can't be patient as usual" said Bang Parlin while holding the back of his head.
I also follow the direction of Parlin bang hand does this all have to do with the hair bang Parlin that I cut? bang Parlin turned emotional and could not be patient because of the influence of his hair, whether the hair was very influential until like this. I kind of saw the other side of Parlin's bang that was very different than usual.
Finally, my brother actually took all the contents of the father's house, including the refrigerator and gas stove, they carried along, I am ashamed of my brother's behavior, but I can't do anything until I hate them, I can't do it anyway they are my brother's brother's family having after the departure of father and mother.
This afternoon my father-in-law suddenly came to our house, father came with family bang Parlin who holds a contract that is often called bang Parlin with the name Bulik.
I felt ashamed that they had to sit on the floor with carpets because the chair in this house had just been at my brother's auction.
"Had Nduk no need to hesitate like that, we are a family so there is no need to feel awkward," said my father-in-law with a friendly smile.
Not long bang Parlin emerged from the room, last time the Father and Bulik just came bang Parlin was bathing so I used to meet the Father and Bulik.
My father-in-law looked at Bang Parlin and then laughed.
"Great you Nduk has succeeded in making Parlin throw his horse hair," said my father-in-law with a laugh.
He looks very happy with the new look of hair bang Parlin, I also feel that there are those who support my actions who dare to recklessly cut hair bang Parlin when he slept.
"My hair was eaten by rats last night, sir," replied bang Parlin who immediately sat in the middle between me and my Father-in-law.
Father who felt the answer bang Parlin made it up was also back laughing.
"It must be a great female rat to successfully finish your hair Parlin, I am very amazed at the rats that became the cause of the loss of horse hair from the Majapahit era," said my Father-in-law.
I also smiled at my father-in-law's words which turned out to be very friendly as if I was talking to my own father instead of talking to my father-in-law.
"Tumben Father came here himself without first telling, what is important until you take the time to come to the city?" bang Parlin's question shifted the subject.
"This is the Father delivering the money from the harvest, your mobile phone can not be contacted earlier I finally contacted Bulikmu, I came here all the way to visit you," replied my Father-in-law.
"This is the money, son, this harvest distance has been cut the cost of work and the cost to buy fuel transportation transportation distance to the city," said my father-in-law while handing over the money held in black plastic crackle.
My eyes were round when I saw the huge amount of money inside the black crackle.
"Why leave it to me, sir? it should be bang Parlin who received this money," I said while staring at the wonder of my Father-in-law.
"In our custom a man if married, who has the right to hold the money his wife because the wife is the treasurer in the household if according to the words of our village the woman is the household class," obviously my Father-in-law.
"What's that bed, sir?" I was curious because this is the first time I heard the word daringan.
"The network if in our village a place made of clay formed to resemble a barrel is then burned to last and does not leak if used. The land in our place is a place to store rice, that's why women are equated with the class because the woman in the place stores the results of the husband's hard work, the woman who has the right to hold the money we husbands have only the obligation to look for it but to keep it is the duty of the wife," said my father-in-law explained to me what it means to be a class and also the duty of a woman after marriage they will be in charge of being a family financial treasurer who must be clever to save and use money as needed is not appropriate desirability.
