There is No Need for Love

S2: Mother's Home Village

Decision has been taken, Asrul chose to silence what is now so disturbing his mind, what is now his conjecture. Somehow Asrul was so convinced that it was not limited to guess, because Asrul was not new to Deasy, it felt Asrul understood the nature of Deasy, and it was not the original.

Asrul agreed with what Haris said, if this story reaches his mother's ears, it will cause many things as well, it is impossible to hurt Faridha, then Asrul sure, his mother would choose to hurt her own heart, so it would be more appropriate if her mother did not know what Deasy was about.

Farhan did not feel important to know about it, it was enough that only he and Risda only knew. For this, according to Asrul, Risda must also be in wanti so as not to talk to her mother-in-law, Asrul must also remind Risda to be equally silent and not to say anything to her mother-in-law, Asrul also had to remind Risda to be the same silent and not say anything to her mother-in-law, Risda should be reminded of that, do not let slip.

Finally the car entered the yard of the house of Patience, this is also the home of the grandfather and grandmother of Asrul, his mother was born and raised in this house, everything still has not changed shape even though the material has changed a lot. Patient still maintaining a wooden house, so it still looks the same after so many decades, Asrul including people who really like it.

Looking at this house immediately reminds Asrul on the friendly face of his grandparents, the same two parents are not good at anger, loving and always give more attention, especially of course to his grandchildren, they never distinguish anyone, they all look the same.

Asrul's eyes were wet, right, just by looking at this house had made Asrul sigh long, immediately imagined the faces of his grandparents, when both were still alive, if Asrul and his family came home here, the grandmother immediately chased them, it was the most cheerful moment in Asrul's life.

Asrul wiped the corner of his eyes, the memories pierced so deeply, Asrul did smile, a smile that hinted at how deep his longing was to his grandparents, other than the tomb, it is this house that is able to dismantle all the contents of Asrul's heart to the root of its roots.

Risda and Natalia wake up when Asrul turns off the engine. Risda came down and immediately half ran when she saw Citha, the Patient wife of the Little Bone coming out of the door of the house. Citha also met Risda, so that the two of them collided, like jumping instead, Citha and Risda like two children who won the race, laughing and hugging repeatedly.

Then Citha also hugged Asrul along with Risda, she kissed the cheek of both with anxiety, only then Patience appeared by holding Yulia, Risda and Asrul came to greet, Risda took over Yulia from the sling of the Patience, the two-year-old boy just wanted to, because he had often seen Risda's face, almost every week even, even through video calls.

Patience and Citha also greet Haris and Natalia, they already know each other, at the wedding reception Asrul and Risda, only Patience and Citha who returned home long ago, but, until Sabar and Citha had a long talk, even accompanied by Natalia street around Jakarta, both had also reached Natalia's house and even had acquaintances with Lufti and Widya.

“Kakak little kurusan you Kak, why ?”.

Natalia swoops Citha's arm. “Kak got Tha” sugar.

“What ?. How can I sis ?”.

Natalia shakes. “Ne do not know Tha, but people say it is so, sugar is no derivative element as well, father will have sugar Tha, he said, sick father will go down to daughter, and, sick mom to boy”.

Chita nodded her head. “He said so Kak, it also said the results of research and observation that, maybe a lot of true”.

Natalia nodded her head. “It could be Tha anyway, sister the proof is this”.

Citha just shook her head, she also often heard this, even that includes one thing that is now being considered by Chita, because her father has high blood that is quite worrying, Chita is quite afraid it is declining.

Before entering the house, everything first went to the back of the house, to the tomb of Asrul's grandfather and grandmother, for whatever reason, which is clear Asrul's grandfather and grandmother were buried here, not in the public cemetery, not in the public cemetery, but the choice according to Asrul is right.

Until now, this house remains a gathering place, even though the youngest child occupies it, the existence of this tomb that makes it stronger, now there are four tombs here, there are now four tombs here, not only his grandfather and grandmother, but there is a brother Usman and sister Taufiq who are also buried here.

In time, it could be that this will be a family funeral complex, as the arrangement supports, because behind the house is a coconut garden and a stretch of rice fields left by Asrul's grandparents, asrul, certainly does not have an effect for many people, different if there are many residential residents here.

Since long ago, Asrul did like to linger around this cemetery, even when his grandmother was still alive. Asrul can sit here for hours, while looking at the coconut groves and rice fields that are very soothing to the eyes, not to mention the breezy wind does not want to stop, making Asrul always able to survive long here.

In the past, his grandmother also liked to accompany, they would tell a long story about anything, most about his mother's childhood, a childhood that Asrul said was much more exciting than his childhood. Because there are many objects here, Asrul's mother whose only daughter is sometimes followed by her brother's favorite interests, including looking for eels in rice fields.

Hometown mom. Sentences that contain a lot of meaning for Asrul, even when he was Junior High, Asrul had thought to live here with his grandparents, because Asrul felt, how long he was here, how long he was here, Asrul had never found the word bored.

Because every day Asrul found new things, things that he did not find at all in his home in Jakarta, there the land was all planted with buildings, the building was planted, even to just play ball just have to use the body of the road, being here everything is still spread wide, want to do it still can.

After the prayer dzuhur, Patience invites all the way, of course all agree, there are actually many choices, but all agree with the proposal of Patience, the road to the near only, mancari had a cool lunch with views of the rice fields and lastly to the Huraba Fort.

The manyun with this decision is only Chita, he scowled because he had already cooked a lot, uh, even want to eat out, later who wants to eat what he has forced ?, but Chita lost her voice, even though she was upset, Chita still took a step out, awkwardly just to the door, just a step out the door, Chita had giggled with Risda and Natalia.

Eating with family with soothing scenery is indeed a very encouraging impression, this is what is happening in the hearts of all, he said, even Chita does not remember the rice that much in her house will be taken where, now there is only laughter and jokes.

Risda and Asrul who flank Yulia now are like a father and mother who seduce her daughter, Yulia only want to eat if in a bribe, usually only one who feeds her, just one, but this one was different, Yulia was fed by two people at once, it was only natural that Yulia was full in an instant.

“Udah Bang Ul, Uli already full”. Yulia patted her stomach.

“Lha, this who ate dong ?”. Asrul Protest.

Asrul and Risda looked at each other, it was finished for Yulia. Now both focus on filling their own stomachs, while Yulia has mastered Risda's phone, playing games that are usually played by Ariana.

Asrul. “Little kids are the same now yes, play games only”.

Risda laughed a little. “Emang is the age Dear brother, want to say what”.

Asrul again shook his head, now his arm was astonished, astonished to see Yulia who was still two years old, talking just not straight, but so deft in playing games, even now just glancing no, no, he did not care about Asrul and Risda who kept staring at him, Yulia was 100% right for the games she played.

Farhan video call, Risda immediately lift, Risda waved, because what was seen on the screen of Farhan's phone was not only him, but also Meeta and Ariana. Farhan had arrived home, just a little while at Faridha's house, Farhan returned to the airport, did not even have time to meet with Husain, his future father-in-law, there was only Irham, and there was no, Hasan also flew to play somewhere.

“Bone ...Nantulang ..”. Ariana immediately half-screamed as the phone screen pointed to Patience and Chita.

“Hai .. Well-favoured. How are you ?”. Chita is talking.

“Sehat Nantulang”.

Long live conversation, Chita again giggled to hear Ariana's story about Farhan who now every night just mandangi photo Faridha. This makes Chita even more disappointed why Farhan did not take the time to come here to bring Faridha, that way, Chita can see Faridha directly, especially with Farhan has been more than two years also did not meet.

“Nantap calm down, later if there is time Farhan come, especially to meet Nantulang course”.

Chita is ngakak. “Kalo gitu, your bones want to be taken, told to menggumpet ?”.

Farhan thumbs up. “Suit well Nantulang, tell the bone dig cave behind it first, who knows there are artifacts there”.

Chita laughed even more, Farhan, Meeta and Ariana also laughed loudly as Sabar pointed her fists at the camera. Ariana even to the point of coughing withholding laughter, he had giggled from the moment he heard Farhan and Citha chatter, laughing even more when he saw the fist of Patience.

Haris and Natalia just follow a small smile, this also makes Haris and Natalia look happier, Risda is not only close to the Asrul family, but also, but also very close to the entire Meeta extended family, both also salute the proximity of the Meeta family, they always seem warm, it is very soothing.

As soon as he finished his meal, Sabar took over the phone and stayed away, Patience only talked to her brother Meeta now, Farhan and Ariana were also just good listeners, Meeta seemed to keep nodding her head and agreeing to all of Patience's requests, none of which were edited, all in the original swallow, complete with her comma point.

At this level, Patience does have the most pleasant position, no one can refuse his request, not only his brother and his biological brother, Agung also never refused anything that Patience asked, he said, similar to Fauziah, Risna and Saniah, the three will be furious at their respective husbands if they do not approve the request of Patience.

Citha is sometimes upset to see her husband, according to Chita, sometimes Patience is excessive, she is actually able to get a simple, but she wants a more wah, so the funds are not enough, he is actually able to get a simple, then Patience will easily ask her brother and sister, but according to Chita what is there is more than enough for them to wear.

Chita certainly can not be so because he was born from a simple family, a middle family who is not accustomed to living luxury, so it is happy with simple facilities, this makes the two often argue, so the two often argue, but Chita never won, because her brother-in-law was supportive.

But, over time Chita who was initially ashamed of her brother-in-law is now no longer feeling what, Chita has been indifferent to all the actions of Patience, but Chita also persevered with her commitment, but Chita also persevered with her commitment, Chita could follow her husband, especially Meeta, but Chita is still Chita who is quite independent, in contrast to her husband Patience who tends to be spoiled.

Just as it is currently underway, Sabar is seducing Meeta to add to her funds that are not enough to change cars, even though the car she has now is far above decent, even though the car she has now is, but Sabar is attracted to one brand, the problem is that the money is not enough.

This was also reminded by Chita to be patient, because what is now is enough and the condition is also very stable, Chita asked her husband a little patient, a little patient, they could also accumulate savings for it, at most two or three more years, it would definitely be reached.

But Sabar lacks the attitude as the name implies, he wants to hurry. Strangely enough for Chita, Meeta's sister agreed to her youngest sister's request so easily, no pause at all.

As is currently going on, Chita can only shake her head again, not to mention Patience to the original table, not to mention returning Risda's phone, Chita's phone has rang, SMS Banking, and more, Meeta was, indeed, the one who asked for Patience, but she always sent it to Chita's account.

“Udah Deck ?”. Immediate patience, standing behind Chita, two hands on the wife's shoulder. “Udah ?”.

Chita showed me her phone. “Ngot tired tired brother. Not a year to change, want to change again, Brother Meeta is also the brother of kerjai”.

Patience is just a smile, putting Chita's phone back on and getting back in her seat. Asrul has also returned from the cashier's desk, so everything is the same standing up, entering the car and now heading to a place that is now increasingly crowded in people's visit, Fort Huraba.

The one with the taste of history is only Patience, Asrul and Risda, if the others just sit and catch a glimpse, in contrast to Asrul and Risda, both look serious and surround every corner of the fortress, and, all ornaments are carefully viewed, all writings are carefully read.

Patience continues to accompany the two while slightly explaining what they see, Patience is indeed a teacher of historical subjects, so that Patience's interest in history has a sufficient basis, he said, so that he can provide an explanation that can satisfy both Asrul and Risda.

Until finally the three are equally tired, they choose to sit facing each other and still discuss what has happened in this fort, of course related to the struggle against Dutch colonialism in this South Tapanuli land, which is the case, a heroic history whose history will not be devoured by the times.
