WOMEN IN GROUP SHORT STORY
#SP-7
Uwo we were sitting dumbstruck. Didn't expect his niece to be that bad. His eyes glared at his niece and snapped.
“Now how do you think you'll pay for all that? Is there any money? You're so crazy! Not changed a bit!”
Grandfather Penghulu Basa did not care about such words. They had already broken all the sanctions before the event even started. They punish us with a sense of justice for our brothers.
“We don't have that kind of money, Datuk!” kelit Uwo's.
“Tak problems. This business will be conveyed to your tribal chief. And this Anggu incarceration we will report to the police has killed his wife at home! We will spread information to neighboring villages and hamlets, related to this. Also prohibit your family from setting foot in this village again!”
“Are you satisfied with that, Asrul?” datuk Panghulu Basa.
Uda Asrul was not too hopeful from the family of the father who was notoriously miserly and never cared for us. But unexpectedly even in front of everyone, they were still shameless!
“In addition, we don't want him to come near us anymore. We already considered him dead, after killing our Amak!” said Uda with eyes staring intently at the man who was looking down before everyone.
“You hear? Your punishment added, can't go near your three sons anymore. Even if you see them in the city or the market. Can't get close!” datuk Panghulu Basa.
“Meeting finished! From tomorrow all fines must be sent to Datuk Soleh's place. Ba’da Friday, we together build a house for the three of them, until it is finished. Everyone should help!”
Datuk Panghulu Basa closed the meeting without commenting on Uwo's protests, which were still dissatisfied with the 45 million his family had to pay.
When Datuk Panghulu Basa stood up to leave, Uwo got in the way. “The fine is too big Datuk,” bargain again.
“Usia si Asrul 23 years. During that time, did Angku ever charge his school? Have you ever brought a sack of rice to their house? This legacy Amak the Reno has been pawned by Angku's niece. After all, Reno was a girl, but she had to go chopping rice in the rice fields, for the sake of a liter of rice to eat!”
Datuk's thunderous voice, came to the attention of those who originally wanted to disperse. They stopped to watch what would happen next. Uwo we have no shame.
“Not that I didn't know my Angku family was very rich. In my Angku's treasure are the rights of the poor and the poor! They're the closest family, but never got the rights? I don't know what God will do to Angku and his family!”
All were speechless to see the old Grandfather leave in anger. We also fell silent. Only a person with a heart can understand the circumstances of our brothers. Uda Asrul hugged Sayid who was crying.
“Do not be afraid. There is a God who will guard us from the unjust and rotten!” said Uda Asrul lantang.
The next day, Uda Asrul returned to the city. We really hope that his education will be able to revive the tarandam trunk of our family.
After being crushed with some grandfathers, then Sayid and I temporarily stayed at Datuk Soleh's house, waiting for our simple hut to be rebuilt.
Uwo we went to bring the Father and only left 500 thousand money. The money was handed over by Datuk Soleh with a concerned face. I used it to buy Sayid's school equipment that was charred in flames. Remaining a little as a handle for the groceries buyer. And I still go to the fields to get a little wage.
Within a week, our modest home was so, right above the old house. Malin could not fulfill his sentence, so he left the hamlet. His wife followed him away too.
For me like this is enough. There is a place for us to take shelter. There is salt and sugar at home. All vegetables can be cutaneous or search in a parak. If you are lucky, you can get fish from the water rope or the edge of the rice field. And there is work waiting in the rice fields and parak urang.
Happiness is simple for a little person like us.
