Vengeful Tears
Already in a match
After a mud battle, Jimmy and Melati clean their bodies in the river.
The citizens who had been watching the mud war they both just shook their heads towards them while smiling.
" This is all because of aa' "!! jasmine scolded while whispering.
" Why am I the Neng,,??
It's the first Eneng who knows me "Jimmy replied.
" Not a ' "!! elak Melati while lowering her face.
" Who tried to ask me to take a snail "??.
" But we go to the rice field to take aa' snail' "!!.
" Yes it is "!!.
Jimmy only smiled faintly as he watched Melati continue to reason not to prank him. He then drowned his head into the river so that the mud in his hair was gone.
" Ahhhh, the fresh "!! jimmy said as he brushed his hair.
Jimmy looked at Melati who was sitting by the river. Her long hair still seemed to be dripping with water. The village girl's innocent face fascinated Jimmy.
Jimmy shakes his head as erotic thoughts arise from seeing Melati's wet body.
" remember Jimmy you already have Nadya waiting for you to come home ".
Jimmy rubbed his face slowly. Her faith was being seduced by the natural beauty of this village girl.
" Have not finished yet a' "?? ask Melati.
" It's Neng ".
" Let's go there "!! bring Melati.
They both walked out of the river. Every now and then they stopped to pick up a conch on the sidelines of the rice stalks.
" Aa' already got a girlfriend yet "?? ask Melati. His hands stretched down to take the snail.
" It's Neng, his name is Nadya" replied Jimmy.
Jimmy held onto Melati's arm as he nearly slipped.
" Be careful Neng "!!.
" Yes a',,,, ".
" If you've got your own girlfriend "?? ask Jimmy.
" It's a', Eneng has been betrothed before father died" replied Melati.
Jimmy was surprised to find out that Melati was already betrothed by his parents.
" Oh, who's Neng's match with "??.
" The same village next to a'.
Keling's son, his name is Rama "!! answer Melati.
Again his hand reached out to take a snail that was in a group with his family.
" But I've never seen your future husband come to neng's house "!!.
" That's because we're on pingit a' ".
" In pingit, what's that "?? ask Jimmy.
" In pingit it's a tradition before a 'married '.
Brides-to-be are forbidden to meet until the wedding day "!!.
Jimmy was surprised to hear that. His mouth was wide open in shock.
" Yes a' "!! answer Melati.
" When is Neng "?? ask Jimmy curiously.
" Next week aa "!!! answer Melati.
Jimmy remained silent. Somehow his heart was a little unwilling when he heard that Melati was going to marry someone else.
" Aa', let's go get some vegetables over there. After that we had lunch "!! invite Melati while pointing towards the rice fields that are grown with green vegetables.
Jimmy kept following Melati's footsteps. He watched Melati from behind who was very carefree while singing.
" Beware Neng, later slip "!!.
" Yes "!!.
Jasmine then down to the rice field picking vegetables. Jimmy was waiting for him while sitting on a rice field. He's kind of weird to see that vegetable being picked up by jasmine.
" What is this vegetable Neng "?? ask Jimmy.
" It's called a vegetable genjer'..
Hasn't I seen it yet "?? jasmine replied while looking at Jimmy.
" Not Neng" yet ".
" There is no "??.
" I've never seen a vegetable like this there Neng.
This is the first time I've seen him ".
" Ooh so "
Jimmy kept seeing Melati who was so agile to choose this vegetable genjer.
Until finally Melati rose to the mainland with a bunch of vegetables that are still very fresh.
" Have you finished Neng "?? jimmy asked and took the vegetable from Melati's hand.
" Already, let's go back to the shack.
Eneng's stomach is already hungry a ' "!!.
Jimmy nodded then left.
Sometimes Melati still took the snail she saw back to the hut.
After arriving, Melati asks Jimmy to wash his hands. He rolled out a mat in this hut and then arranged the food.
" Lauknya sambal, lalapan sama fried fish. It's okay a we're eating with a potluck side dish "?? ask Melati while spooning rice to Jimmy.
" No Neng, this alone looks so good" replied Jimmy receiving a plate from Melati.
They eat very well. Despite the potluck, the food really tasted good in their mouths. Moreover, their energy was pretty much drained after fighting the mud, looking for snails and picking vegetables. Really, which favor can you deny 😉.
