What If I'm Not Good Just
Story 9

My husband Jadul

Section 7

Bang Parlin then handed the flute back, while my friends were still gawking.

"Where did you get that guy? so sweet" said the friend who sat beside me, nudging his shoulder.

"I went to America, brought a man home" I answered, because my friend had said.

Bang Parlin stepped off the stage, still greeted enthusiastically by partygoers. They shouted "Add, add," but my husband kept coming down while waving. Ah, his style, like a famous singer only.

The host took over the microphone.

"As for information, the song we just heard is a collection, typical art of South Tapanuli. It is usually sung by people when shepherding cattle or putting babies to sleep. I'm quite surprised there are still people who can sing that way, because the art is almost extinct, the last time I heard people singing the song was twenty years ago" the host said.

All eyes looked at the husband who was already sitting near me again. Ah, my husband is old-fashioned, his musical taste is old-fashioned. And it turns out a lot of people like this old school.

When we came home, we passed my oldest brother, and he was invited. My sister-in-law immediately laughed at our appearance.

"You're wearing a robe but a tel4njang," said the sister-in-law.

"What does tel4njang mean?" my husband replied, I don't usually talk, I usually just keep quiet when I talk.

"Where do you know, Parlin, that's circus language" replied the sister-in-law.

Husband looks confused, I take him home soon, I don't want the husband more questions.

"Why did Adek say tel4njang? this dress was said to be tel4njang, which was her tel4njang, wearing a long skirt but the sides to the thighs," muttered Bang Parlin as we headed home.

"Udah, Bang, it's been, it's not to be responded to" I said.

"No, you can't take it when you say tel4njang, like you can't afford to buy clothes," unexpectedly the husband's voice hardened this time the husband like snapping.

I stopped the motor, this should be explained rather than an unsettled husband.

"Gini, Bang, tel4njang means not wearing jewelry, if people go to the party do not wear jewelry, said tel4njang, it's mother-fats, do not need to be responded to," I said later.

"Oh, I see," replied the husband, as the mangosteen.

"Yes, Bang, our language is rough, it's been a long time, said the typical person, you know why I am called Niyet? the Rapi so Rapet, it stands for Nia monkey, Rapi monkey," I said again.

"Once you guys bar, we who meet monkeys every day not so," said the husband.

Duh, again I feel slapped.

"Udah, Bang, are we going home?" ask again.

"Later on, Dek, take the money to the ATM."

"Gapain, Bang, we still have a lot of this money" I replied.

"Abang wants to buy jewelry, Brother does not want Adek called tel4njang," said Bang Parlin.

My reflex hugged my husband while crying, I was somehow overwhelmed.

"This need or desire, Bang?"

"Needs, Deck, what kind of husband am I to let his wife go to the party" said the husband again.

Finally we stopped at the ATM, I took as much as I could get through the ATM. It can only take ten million.

"Ten million Bang," I reported later.

"Enough? this he added," said Bang Parlin while giving a lump of money.

Finally we stopped at the gold shop, I was very happy, for the first time in my life I entered the gold shop, all this time I never bought gold.

We buy necklaces, bracelets and earrings from pure gold, when the money is less, I give the ATM card, it turns out it can be swiped in the store. I cannot describe how happy I was then, not because of the gold, but because of the husband's attention. Uh, I lied, because of the gold.

Arriving home, I immediately tried the gold, while standing in front of the mirror looking at myself. Ah, I have to decorate to please my husband. My husband is old, but over time he will change. Especially later people know about the husband, actors will target him. As he looked and praised himself in front of the mirror, the neighbor came.

"Mbak Nia, borrow a saw," shouted the neighbor from the door. I immediately searched the husband's toolbox. And give it to the neighbor.

"Waw, just bought some gold, huh?" said this neighbor. Duh, I forgot to open it.

"Hehehe, yes, ma'am," I answered briefly.

"Just a little bit, ma'am," I replied, hoping he'd leave quickly.

He sat with the saw still in his hand. "I also used to have something like this, but it was sold to pay for rent" he said again.

"Oh, I hope it's a pitter instead" I replied in pleasantries.

"How much is this?" ask again.

Duh, of course I do not know, I want to say this is our home, but remember the words of the husband to slow it, but how many say? will it be different with her house?

"How many, Mom?" many finally.

"Eight million one year."

"Oh, so are we" I replied.

"Well, that's not fair, same time, your house is the edge, bigger, there's a yard on the side, same time?" said the neighbor's mother.

Duh, I'm wrong again, "i don't know for sure, the husband who paid that day," I said later. While the husband is in the bathroom.

I was relieved, finally the neighbor left too, still had time to ask my husband what work before he left, I just answer the farmer.

Immediately I opened the jewelry, I stored it in the closet, immediately my eyes were fixed to the old husband's HP, I saw there were two unread SMS. Bang Parlindungan very rarely use the HP, never sounds too.

I opened the old HP prank, opened the incoming SMS, it was just a message from an unknown number. The writing is also the language of the region. But I was curious, here is the writing.

(Si Nunung marun, dung do kehe Abang, seres it, mulak jolo, Bang, ligi si Nunung)

As soon as the SMS. Wow, what does that mean? who is Nunung? Don't-don't you? Bad thoughts hang in this head. Remember what your husband said about people from the past. Lest he have a wife in the village, lest I be a second wife, lest that old-fashioned is just a mode?

I'll take a look at the text, I'll ask people who understand South Tapanuli language.

I immediately remembered the Rapi, he was Batak, maybe he understood, I sent him the photo while asking.

(Please translate this, Rapet)

Two seconds, no reply yet, husband still in the bathroom. Then ...

(It means something like this, Si Nunung is sick, since Brother left, he is stressed, go home, look at Nunung)

So did the reply of the Rapi.

Duh, I'm getting suspicious.

Everyone laughed at the Diamond story.

" I think the cow or the buffalo is like, Casey ngakak".

" Yes really like it.Or chicken, or duck," Maya said.

" Are you guys serious first, listen to my story, still want to go on? " ask Diamond.

Everyone obediently nodded.
