The Story of Pilu A Village Flower

#16. Pregnant third child.

Sari and Sita both finished their Elementary School, when Sari's mother died, Sari interrupted not to go to school for a year, because there was no one to support the family, work in the abandoned house, at that time Ita was still a baby who could not walk, and still drink milk, Sari miris saw her younger sister abandoned, so Sari decided not to go to school.

A year later Alex married Tiur, then Sari returned to school and returned to repeat in 3rd grade Elementary School, so that she was in class with Sita.

Sari willingly let Sita who continued to SMP, Sari who is looking for family living expenses. Lagian Sita, a little bit high-hearted, Sita if not forced to work does not want to work, but against Sari, Sita does not dare to argue with Sari, because Sita knows, Sari who sacrificed a lot for her family.

No family would offer to take care of Sita and school, other than with many families who offer Sari, so that Sari will be made her adopted child, but Sari refused, because Sari wants to support and educate her sister.

Sari's family's economic life gradually improved, Sari was good at managing money, Sari was good at frugality, buying important needs only, even Sari set aside the rest of the spending money by saving, saving money, and after it is felt enough Sari again buy buffalo to be an investment, to keep watch if there is a sudden need.

Unlike the Tiur, the Tiur has no production for kitchen needs, all are filled and sufficient Sari. Tiur income from the sale of fish catches Alex either bought Tiur what, even occasionally Sari always buy children's clothes for her half-sister Reni and Mariot, Reni is 2.5 years old, mariot was a year old.

Sari had regarded Reni and Mariot as Sari's younger siblings. So on the contrary Reni and Mariot also consider Sari and her sister as her brother, Reni and Mariot obedient to Sari and her sister. Because Sari and her sister are the ones who care for Reni and Mariot.

Alex is not satisfied with only 1 person only his descendants, Alex wants at least 1 more person, actually Tiur no longer want to give birth, because the trauma of the origin of giving birth Tiur always in excruciating pain, but Tiur did not dare to refute Alex, even Alex threatened Tiur, if Tiur did not want to give birth once again, Alex would marry for the third time.

"Ma, let's do it again, Mariot's sister" Alex persuaded Tiur.

"It's pa, 2 children will be enough", Pinta Tiur seduced Alex.

"Yes, but I want one more boy" Alex said.

"Papa know, as long as I give birth always hard, because the pain is extraordinary", Tiur tried to give an explanation to Alex.

"That's because you are evil to Sari and her younger sister, so you must consider Sari and her younger sister as your own biological children, because Sari's biological mother always seems to be looking after Sari and her younger sister, sari's biological mother does not want you to cheat on Sari and her younger sister, so stop you evil with Sari and her younger sister", Alex advises Tiur.

"Elleh, where there are dead people can keep the living, it's just a coincidence, I am indeed the trouble of giving birth, yes indeed because the innate like that", bela Tiur did not want to budge.

"Here you go, if you don't give birth to me again, then I'll remarry" Alex threatened Tiur.

Tiur just keep quiet, Tiur know, if Alex there are times when it can not be denied, what in Maui Alex, it must be obeyed.

*****

It turned out that Tiur quickly granted immediately pregnant, pregnancy this time, it seems Tiur did not experience nausea, vomiting, and dizziness, even Tiur felt angered and did not think that he was pregnant, Tiur, only then did she realize that she was pregnant, because seeing her sanitary napkin placed in the corner of the room had not been open, Tiur realized that 2 months he did not wear the sanitary napkin, and she was not wearing it, it should have been used up in 2 months, because he remembered it was bought 2 months ago.

"Mother Tiur seems to be pregnant again now!", said Sari opening their conversation.

"No idea where?", asked Sita curiously.

"Today I heard the talk of Tiur's father and mother, Tiur's mother was telling father, that she was pregnant", explained Sari told her sister.

"He is delicious, we are overwhelmed, because we are always repotted to take care of his children" joked Sita, while looking sour.

"Hussh, I'll hear you later, can get angry with us" advised Sari.

"The fact is true, always we are the ones who take care of their children, Tiur continues to always demand, want to eat this, want to eat that, want to be skewered, there is just a request" complained Sita, complained Sita, while demonstrating the style of Tiur when telling Sari and her sister.

"Of course, we pray that the third child is born again a son, most indeed the father who told Tiur to get pregnant again in order to get back the male offspring", sari said firmly to her sister.

"Is that important to a boy?", murmured Sita.

"Of course it is important, yes so that there is a successor to his family, so that the genealogy continues to the grandchildren and great-grandchildren and does not stop at the father, else you will be underestimated or less respected, he said, father can not be a traditional speaker, if there is no son, and worse still can not be included in the family monument if it is dead later" said Sari at length.

"it's very scary, it's easy that I have many sons" said Vina

"And worse, it is only natural that if the first wife has no sons, the husband should marry again a second time, so that there will be a son of the 2nd wife, so that there will be a son of the 2nd wife, like our father, even if the mother does not die, the father will still marry again for the second time" said sad sita.

"It's easy for all of us, given a lot of boys yes" joked Sari as she broke up their conversation.

And it is unexpected that the time has shown at 17:00. The time to prepare dinner, because it is too cool to talk at length, does not feel their work becomes neglected.

Mariot's voice cries for food. "Sister, hungry" said Mariot, whining.

"Oh yes, a minute deck, sister get it" said Siti, while scooping rice into Mariot's plate and giving a piece of side dish and vegetables.

Siti also helps Mariot bring his rice plate to the living room. While watching Mariot eat, Siti lets Mariot eat by herself, though still a straw, and watches as Mariot chokes and immediately gives her a drink.

Mariot's habit of eating only a few spoons, but Siti tried to persuade Mariot to want to eat again and indeed had to be fed, so that Mariot's stomach is not empty.

Although only feeding, sometimes tired as well, because Mariot sometimes does not want to eat and immediately leave his food and run anywhere with sticky rice conditions throughout his clothes, he said, sometimes bribing him has to walk here, walk here as much as Mariot only, inevitably we have to obey, until all the rice in his plate runs out unnoticed.

That is the problem, but Tiur can never appreciate what people do, never once according to Tiur Sari and his sister is right, always wrong, always wrong, telling sometimes has to be by shouting and cursing maki.
