Loving You in My Way

Loving You in My Way
CHAPTER 208


The journey home was so fun. The fresh morning air and the expanse of natural tapestry become eye coolers when the dew still soaks the earth.


For a long time Neera did not enjoy the atmosphere of this morning. His heart was so calm and peaceful. Especially now that he can return to his hometown without feeling fear and hate.


The funny behavior of triplets who ask this to their parents becomes a beautiful sight that distracts everyone who passes them.


On a clear morning, everyone went out to work in search of God's sustenance on earth. Some bring paculs to the rice fields, some bring merchandise to the market and some are also dressed neatly to teach or also to the office.


"Assalamu'alaikum Sir, Buk, Uni, come.." Neera kindly to everyone they passed by and greeted her.


"Eh, Neera yo. Bilo's home..." (Neera, when to go home)


"Neera, the baranak kironyo mah..." (Neera, have a child already)


"Come here first..." (Almost first)


Many greetings Neera met on each trip home. Although some are julid, kepo or insinuate Neera still friendly and polite.


A little more towards the triplets house even diverted by the river that comes from the mountain water mara as irrigation for the rice fields of the population.


Seeing the clear water and lots of fish make triplets whining to father and his mother to play there.


The bleak face full of drama is now melt the hearts of both parents so that their cheers are so mempilkan make some people happy to see it.


Coincidentally the rice fields around there are also Neera family rice fields so that no one will be disturbed when his baby plays there.


The three began to enter the river filled with pebbles and some large stones that appeared to the surface.


Cold is at the beginning but because the air in their place of origin is cooler when winter so that makes triplets ordinary and even deliberately splash his body into the water.


"Dear, be careful, son. Do not go to the middle, the current is quite strong and a lot of rocks. On the sidelines just hold the same father and mother" Neera's sweat that is owned by the three.


They were busy playing water, splashing brothers and their parents until there came some mothers who happened to be planting rice in their rice fields on the riverbank.


"Eh, Neera huh, when's Neera coming home ?" ask one of them.


"Yes Tek, only two days at the Tech house" replied Neera.


"Well, it's getting pretty. This is your son Neera ?" ask the mother again.


"Yes Ma'am, this is Neera's son. They are triplets" Neera replied.


"God, it's funny to them. Her father was a Caucasian ya Neera" the mother continued to pay attention to the triplets that were playing with her father.


"No Tek, our people are also just that there are descendants Tek" friendly Neera.


"Oh Etek thinks people are there. You see the news about your husband's engagement used to be a flashlight once. Especially the Ati tu, the cause of the gossip that koar here and there" Etek's story was in the language of the minang.


"But was it true that you were divorced at that time. Many say you were abandoned and ran out of the country" another Etek story.


"Alhamdulillah until now Neera's husband is still one Tek Uda Ayyub, it's the one who plays with our son. There used to be misunderstandings, understanding Etek in the business world it sometimes happens and we cannot control. But Thank God everything is fine now, we have never divorced and Uda Ayyub also did not marry again" Finally inevitably Neera served the talk of the Etek-etek so as not to be confusing news.


"Neera hasn't been able to leave her job there Tek. In the past when Neera went there to get a scholarship and was also given the confidence to teach at the campus there so that until now still tied to work there Tek" explained Neera back.


"Oh, so is the story. The basis of Wati and Ati the cause of gossip. They say that you fled abroad, so the maid there, left the husband and remarried so that you go to avoid embarrassment. There are so many rumors that they make about you that are not true at all" upset the Etek-etek who felt tricked by the mouth of the sheep of the village.


"Why not just ask Apa and Ama Tek" Neera asked the group of mothers with peci.


"Ah, where dare we ask with Mr. Datuak and Mother, we just want to explain this news Neera. Fortunately we can talk at this time" replied Etek representing his other friend.


"Ahahaha Etek could have. Toh ama also often nongrong with Etek-etek" joked Neera.


"Haha yes Neera, but still we did not dare" the mothers laughed.


"Indeed, it's outrageous that the gossip mongers. They're so jealous of your life Neera. One because it was too proud of his son who said the bank employee was another because his proposal had been rejected by your family" Etek-ethek's nag that only responded to Neera's smile.


"Will Etek be planted today ?" asked Neera who had noticed some other i u started to spread the seeds.


"Yes Neera, the age of her seed is enough" the other replied as her hands were still busy working.


"Neera can come with Tek ?" neera asked enthusiastically because honestly this is the first time in her life to grow rice.


"Of course, this wong is your rice field" joked the mothers who ended in laughter.


Neera activities that began to rise to the rice field became the attention of triplets and Ayyub. Fortunately Ayyub did not understand the language so that from the mother-inu talk with Neera he did not understand and also did not he gubris. If you know how to badmood again Neera's big baby.


While the triplets were cool to play with his father was washed away and did not listen to the conversation at all. Their attention shifted only when Neera rose and began to enter the still wet rice fields with puddles of soft soil.


"Mother, mother want to do there mother ?" wonder Qal.


"Ah this dear, mother wants to learn to grow rice son" replied Neera enthusiastically.


"Huh ?? want to join the mother" the third cheer that is embraced by Neera.


Then Ayyub raised one by one his sons and was greeted by Neera from above the rice field.


"But baby, ask her grandma first. Can you come" Neera said to her three children.


"Grandma, our ndak luliah nikuik nanam padi nyo Nek ?" (God, we can not follow the planting of Nek rice) asked Qee in fluent language.


"Loh ?! you guys speak minang too ?" ask the three middle-aged women and be taken by the three.


"Ndeh... Enek kiro you use the language bule lo earlier, is the paniang lo shipo enek ka mangecek your jo. Santiang sangaik are the grandchildren enek ko" (Geez, grandma think you use a foreign language. Grandma's already dizzy if she has to talk to you guys. Very smart grandchildren grandma) praise one of them.


The three were so amazed at Neera and Ayyub in educating their children. It is very clear they understand the language of their motherland, which usually people are mostly accustomed to using foreign language is instead made love with the language of the region itself.


Likewise, Neera let her children play in the rice fields that some people considered dirty and hot but they instead enjoy it Neera herself who exemplifies her baby.


Even when people in their village forbid their children not to play in the rice fields just Neera and Ayyub let their children explore themselves with nature. After all, if it hits the ground and mud can also be washed and bathed again.
