The Story of Pilu A Village Flower

#61. Sari's marriage did not live up to her expectations

Background of the Juan family

Juan's grandfather was the richest man in his village at the time, possessing vast fields and rice fields. Juan's grandfather's wife had no sons, intending that there be a successor from his family, Juan's grandfather intended to take a second wife. After marrying the second wife, there were born 2 sons of the second wife, Yudha, Juan and Rangga's grandfather.

Having been born a son in the family, Judha was finally very spoiled. Until adulthood Judha is lazy to work.

Before Judha's father died, the estate of the fields and rice fields was shared with all her children. Judha got more inheritance from the other children.

Because Judha was lazy to work, eventually many of his fields and fields were pawned to others, just to make fun of it.

Juan was a hardworking and hardworking boy. All the fields and paddy fields that are still left behind, which have not been pawned, are managed to get money to survive.

Juan worked the fields and paddy fields hard when he came home from school. But when the harvest arrived, the rice harvest that in Juan's mind was quite the result, was exhausted to pay for Judha's debt.

It turns out that before the harvest Yudha was already much owed just for fun-foya by guaranteeing the harvest from the rice fields managed by Juan.

Juan was upset over the nature of his parents, tired of working in fields and rice fields, when it was hot and rainy every day, only to pay for his parents' debt that was never finished.

Finally Juan went to the city, intending not only to be enslaved by his parents, Juan felt that when there was Juan his parents became lazy to work, after Juan migrated to the city, Juan, with the condition of having to work in the fields and under the ground to connect life.

...****************...

But even though Juan wandered into the city, and had a wife, Juan was required to keep a little money for the living expenses of his parents, as Juan agreed with his parents, when gathering in the living room when the guests are gone.

Juan's parents disclosed and detailed all the debts that Juan had to pay for the wedding, plus Juan had to send a monthly to both parents in the village.

Sari was not strong on hearing all the demands of Juan's parents, so Sari left her in-laws in the living room, and went into her room.

With Juan's profession, just as an expedition driver, Juan asked the lender for help, so that the debt for the cost of his wedding party is repayable every 2 weeks, he said, because for 1 trip Juan spent the time commuting Juan spent 2 weeks.

Like Sari's wish when before marrying Juan, Sari does not want to live in the village at home in-laws, Sari wants to wander, anywhere Sari is willing to stay in the village, because when Beni came home from the region, Sari did not meet with Beni.

Juan agreed, Sari and Juan lived in the city of Sibolga. Because the leave the company gave to Juan was only 3 days, 2 days after marriage, Juan and Saripun left for the city of Sibolga to start a new life, which was independent and far from parental interference.

When Sari and Juan arrived at the Sibolga terminal, Sari had previously asked one of the passengers on the bus they were on, that there was a house to rent next to her house.

When Juan and Sari married Juan was 23 years old, while Sari was 20 years old. Juan's younger brother number 2, whose name is Robert aged 19 years, at that time Robert was in the 3rd grade of High School, rather than Robert the school must be indexed.

Juan tells Robert to change schools. Finally Robert came to live with Sari and Juan under one roof. But Robert will catch up when Sari and Juan get a rental home.

Sari's marriage was beyond her expectations, "what was the fate of my sisters, how I helped my sisters, while I was not working, relying on the husband's salary was very unlikely, covering for the cost of eating daily was not enough" thought Sari dizzy, sorry and not out of thought, that Sari had wrongly chosen her husband, instead of lightening the burden of the mind instead adding to the mind.

Saripun can only resign and live life, maybe someday there is a beautiful hope, that's all Sari can hold.

After the holidays, Juan went out of town.

Juan tells how the risk and form of his job as a driver to Sari before Juan leaves for the city.

"Sari, I left for the city, the office was located in Medan and Jakarta. Now I go first to Medan, then load the load into the truck, if there is a charge of gratitude, if there is no load, well do not leave until there is a new load can leave, then can leave, for our own food expenses.

If there is a charge, this charge is between Jakarta, from Jakarta back to Medan, well have to fill the load again, that's how to change.

The risk of travel is very risky to have an accident, for that you must be good at home, pray I am always on a smooth and safe journey" Juan told his wife Sari.

Sari can only answer "Well be careful on the road yes" said Sari slowly, newly married has been left, not expecting a honeymoon, but at least a week together with the husband can not be done, he said, because Juan did have to leave, if not depart how the debt is paid off, and how daily needs will be covered, Sari sincerely accepts, because this is Sari's life now.

Sari could not imagine that, Sari had to be left by Juan for approximately 2 weeks.

Before Juan left for the city, Juan gave a little shopping money to Sari, as Juan's responsibility as the head of the household, after all there was Robert at home, the cost of living must have increased.

Actually, Sari still keeps a little money from the results of her weave, but it is not told to Juan, let it be as a money guard, if there is a need that is one time desperate, thought Sari in his mind.

The first day Juan left at home, Sari was confused about where to shop, Sari also tried to ventured out of the house to buy groceries. Sari tried to remember the direction of the road when Sari came out of the house, so as not to get lost.

If in the village, the needs of rice and the needs of side dishes, can still be obtained from the results of catching on the lake, for the needs of vegetables and bananas, sometimes still can be from gardening.

If you live in the city, the land to plant is not available, all needs must be purchased, even to stay must be paid.

Sari has to be smart to divide the money. As difficult as Sari in the village, Sari felt more difficult to live life when she was married.
