The Story of Pilu A Village Flower

The Story of Pilu A Village Flower
#5. Tiur did not consider Sari and her sister as her own biological children.



Today is father's 2nd wedding day, I can't show a sour face in front of dad, anyway agree or disagree, dad will still marry Tiur. Tiur will forever stay at home with us, there is no way that I continue to be hostile to my father's wife, Sari bathin in heart. Let me just say, I can't be selfish, I can't put aside my own father's happiness, let's have my heart, hold my chest. He continued to give understanding to himself.


The customary event and wedding reception Alex went smoothly, all the audiences who came, took turns to greet the bride and groom while saying "Happy yes, hopefully quickly can be a momongan and would be a happy family".


Alex and Tiur simultaneously say" thank you very much".


There is nothing wrong in this marriage, everyone thinks it is still natural for Alex to marry, because Alex has not had a son, if the first wife does not leave, the husband marries again, because Alex has not had a son, moreover, it means that there are descendants of boys, a common thing in the village.

It's the first night Tiur sleeps at home, the next day until 8 am Tiur, or Alex has not been up from his bed, we are doing activities as usual, some houses, preparing breakfast, and so on, wash clothes into the lake and lift water, and fill all water reservoirs in the house as a stock for drinking water, for dishwashing or bathroom purposes.


Soon Alex and Tiur got up, went to the bathroom and after that, we were ready for breakfast together. When breakfast dad tells each task, to Sari Alex said "Sari, from tomorrow you go back to school, it has been a year you are not in school, this year you will go to school again, this year you will go to school, repeat from class 3. Siti, Sita goes to school as usual, and does her usual work, herding buffalo to the fields before leaving for school, while Vina takes care of Ita and feeds Ita.


To weave ulos, let Tiur's mother do it, Sari help make patterns and motifs, and roll and complete all thread needs if you have come home from school, the task to the field and down was placed before and after school, family finances are now held by Tiur's mother, to sell fish catches as well as Tiur's mother who works it.


Thus all the duties that Alex gave to Tiur his wife and son. All was silent and no one denied him including Sari just silent, whereas Sari wanted to rebel, Tiur's task was just weave, down and into the fields also did not do, rather disappointed actually, actually, but Sari did not dare to argue, for some reason the father was so indulgent Tiur, even though his late mother still went to the fields and downstairs. The late mother also sometimes cook and wash clothes, if you think you can do it.

This is the first day of the Tiur week in the family, Tiur to the town with 4 sheets of ulos, and every day the father always catches fish from the fields and Tiur every day always sells fish, vina reports to Sari, as Vina is not in school yet, Vina who sees that Tiur sells her father's fish catch every day. That is, according to Sari's experience as a financial holder before Tiur was present in the Sari family, a decent amount of money held by Tiur for a week plus the sale of ulos.


Coming home from the weekend. As usual Sari and her sister welcomed her with joy, but we were not allowed to unpack all the contents of the basket, Siti was about to pull out the contents of the basket, Tiur immediately shouted "Don't you touch it, don't touch it, let me take it out, everything I bought, everything is my sweat, you have no right to anything", Tiur's screams made Siti shocked and frightened, so that no longer dare to hold the groceries Tiur brought.


Tiur only brought a little groceries even snacks such as martabak and popcorn were not purchased for Sari and her sister. Sari saw the look of sadness and disappointment in the eyes of her younger sister, Sari tried to ask Tiur "Bu, why do not buy snacks martabak or popcorn, even though the mother knows the younger sister a lot",


"What, martabak and popcorn you said, I would not buy food from my sweat, to those who are not my own children", Tiur replied with a sniffle,


Sari was surprised to hear Tiur say that, but Sari tried to keep softly asking Tiur "Why mother, saying that, not mother saying, do not you say, will accept Sari and sister like a mother's own biological child?",


"That was so that your father could love me" Tiur replied scrupulously, admitting that Tiur was a good temple in front of them.


Now the true nature of Tiur is visible, so long as Tiur softly spoke only a mask, it was just a pretense, so that the father can love Tiur.


Tiur only brought a banana, it was eaten when Alex arrived home, now can not be eaten. There was something that Tiur had hidden and brought from the grocery basket, directly brought to his room in a hurry.


Tok.dok.tokk.


The door was knocked, while exclaiming Tiur..Tiurs..


It was the sound of Alex knocking on the door, Alex coming from the coffee shop. Surprised Tiur, that Alex is coming. Tiur immediately threatened Sari and her sister "Don't tell your father about this, if you tell your father, I beat you up later", Tiur threatened the children. Everybody just shut up.


"Home home sir", said Tiur sweet and spoiled as he opened the door. Alex came in and saw the children were silent, "Is your mother buying a martabak?", asked Alex to the children. The child was silent and did not dare to make a sound.


Tiur immediately replied "There are, it's finished in eating them all, cooking I did not buy, even though they are diligent children" said Tiur with a big smile and fake.


Alex smiled, as if Alex was proud to have successfully married a woman who was kind to his heart. "Thank God your mother bought you a martabak" Alex added.


Children are afraid to take it, After being offered Alex "Let's children, just eat as much as you guys", then the children dare to eat it, and then the children dare to eat it, they ate it slowly as if they did not taste anymore because they knew the purpose behind Tiur's kindness.


Sari immediately ran into the kitchen, sad it felt his heart, could not make his sister happy, usually the moment of this week is the moment awaited by his sister, because a lot of food is purchased, usually the moment of this week is the moment that awaited his sister, because a lot of food is purchased, it turns out that Tiur only cares about himself and his father, Tiur does not consider us like his own biological son Bathin Sari sad.


Until how long this incident will continue, even though the mother has a lot of income, it turns out that Tiur often sells quite a lot of fish catches every day. And indeed the weather conditions are good, not raining and not strong wind.bathin Sari in heart.

"Hi Sari, now that you are in school, and I see your stepmother now weaving, it seems like your stepmother is very kind, yes, Sari, her way of speaking is also gentle and polite", horas' mother said to Sari, as she passed by the road as Sari was about to wash into the lake.


Sari just kept quiet, Father alone one house does not know the behavior of Tiur actually, especially if I told Horas' mother, how the nature of Tiur, surely they do not believe. Sari will be angry with her father, if the father finds out from people that her stepmother is actually not good.


Sari thought in her heart and chose to agree with Horas' mother's words "Yes ma'am, my stepmother is a good person" Sari told Horas's mother.


"It's good then Sari, it turns out that not all stepmothers are cruel, thank God you get a good stepmother, it's good that you are the same stepmother as you are Sari", said Horas' mother happily and continued to encourage Sari.


Sari answered as much as she could, and tried to continue her work towards the lake to wash, lazy to tell a long story about her stepmother, even having to praise her stepmother, when in fact different" Yes Ma'am", said Sari flatly to Horas' mother.

Tiur often complained to Alex, That the price of all necessities rose, the income earned seemed not enough.


Alex was silent, in Alex's heart murmured, when Sari who held the financial, Sari never complained, even sometimes the catch of fish was not always every day, there was no, a week sometimes only 3 and 4 times, now obviously the catch of fish is always a lot, even every day.


Kok can not be enough and still less, Alex is confused and not out of thought, "Is Tiur hiding something from me, or is Tiur always giving without my knowledge of his parents", thought Alex. Alex wants to find out.


Sari was also silent when Tiur complained about the mainstay that rose, even he said the shopping money was not enough, whereas Tiur who held the financial, Sari sure, was not enough, if his father is not too wasteful to use money, then,


Sari was sure there was something Tiur was hiding, but what was sari did not know, Sari wanted to find out, but how. Sari and her sister are not allowed to enter their room.


Tiur is also stingy to buy fish stocks, even the pieces of fish that Tiur serves to eat, the pieces are very small, even martabak, and popcorn is never purchased. 'Where is all the money selling ulos and selling fish catches from dad', thought Sari confused.


****


It turns out that Tiur always went to his mother's house, even if his parents always brought a plastic bag, did not know what the contents of the plastic.


Alex caught Tiur. And after Tiur got home, not playing angry Alex, "Don't know yourself, you mean I'll slam the bones to meet all the needs of your parents" Alex said in a high voice.


"You think I can you stupid stupid, before you came to this house, Sari who holds the finances, never complained, even Sari can save and buy buffalo, he said, now even you say always less, less and less" said Alex continues to scold Tiur. Tiur did not dare to argue, Tiur just kept quiet.


"From now on don't come to your parents' house again, if you come to your parents' house, don't you dare come to this house again", alex said giving firmness to Tiur.


Sari and her sister just sat quietly in the kitchen hearing Alex's anger.


Don't forget like & vote, sister.👇
