Barbarian Wife (Alexandria And Three Lions)
Chapter 35 Home Village

One afternoon...

"Excuse me sir, I'm a cop, I have a mail!"

"Letter? Thanks."

Ryu receives the letter later while stepping inside he reads it. Turns out the letter was to Alex with a workplace address before resigning. Ryu frowned seeing what the name of the sender was.

"So you still have a mother?"

"What?"

Alex who had just come out of the bathroom with wet hair gasped at hearing that.

Ryu gives the letter to Alex whose sender only reads the name of Mother. With swiftness Alex received it and from the appearance of the letter was opened by Ryu.

Hey, kid, are you alive?

That's the only thing in the letter.

"Haduuuhh, this mother!"

Alex mumbled softly.

"So it's from your mother?"

Alex just nodded slowly

"How long have you not been home?"

Alex seemed to think. Ryu sighed, knowing that Alex had not seen his mother for a long time.

"I have a reason why I'm not coming home"

"What?"

"It's too complicated to tell!

Alex breathed a heavy sigh.

"Then we'll go see your mother."

"What-what?"

***

A car entered the yard with a large yard without a guardrail, around the house there are still many green plants, rice fields and hills presented clearly as paintings in canvas, beautiful and soothing.

After traveling for three days and three nights through the sea lane they finally arrived at a remote village on a stone that became a symbol of welcome, but the village was written with ancient Javanese writing they can't interpret it.

"Don't get out of the car before I tell you, no matter what happens, you get it!"

Alex turned to Han and Jack who were sitting in the back with Yumna. Then take off the sitbelt. Ryu calmly sat in the steering chair.

Alex then exited the car carefully towards the main door of the house with a typical teak wood interior, looks from the front of the house carrying an ancient Javanese style but it looks artistic, aesthetic and unique.

"Ibuuu ...."

Alex knocked on the door slowly while looking left right with a look of alert face, once he also turned to look at the car parked about four meters from the terrace of the house.

"Why were we told to wait in the car"

Ask Jack who always has a strong instinct.

"See, since Alex's trip even looks agitated"

Han who was holding me Yumna replied half-heartedly. This long journey made his body feel crumpled.

Ryu was still seen sitting quietly, yet he also felt that there was something strange. Ryu glanced through the rearview mirror, Yumna was seen still asleep. Then his eyes turned back to Alex.

"Momuu ..., it's me, Alexandria, what's the mother at home?"

Call Alex again while continuing to knock on the door, but there is no answer. Alex then peeked out from behind the window but what seemed to be just an empty living room.

"Huh, maybe mom's gone."

Alex muttered with a sigh and then turned his body intending to return to the car.

Only a few steps open the door. Alex looks. A middle-aged woman appeared in a kebaya dress and a long strip and a head covering cloth.

"Ib ...."

Alex smiled intending to approach his mother, but his eyes widened when the woman he called the mother actually raised an arrow towards him with a rogue face. Prepare to target the prey.

Alex took a few steps back. Seeing the sight before him Ryu, Han, and Jack were flabbergasted. But they also remember what Alex said. They become gamang.

"Mom-mom. Listen to me first, I can explain!"

Mom threw out the betel chalk that stuffed her mouth by spitting it out, then her eyes refocused on Alex. Within seconds the arrow shot but Alex managed to avoid it. So on many times the arrow was released towards him.

"This is clearly not true."

Han was visibly riled up after putting the slumbering Yumna on the chair, she came out first, followed by Jack and Ryu. Alex is seen still negotiating with his mother while trying to avoid.

"Mother, stop! listen to me first!"

"Alex"

Call the three of them almost simultaneously. Making the mother turn her head and instead point the arrows at the three of them.

"Hah, l4kn4t's son, straight home brought three men!"

Ujur the woman while pointing the bow. Alex immediately ran against the three of them, until the arrow finally stuck on his back.

Degs....

"Aleexxx...."

The three of them then ran over, Ryu supporting Alex's body.

"Hey, old grandma, what are you doing, gone crazy huh?"

Shouted Han, but mother smirked and then laughed giggling.

As Ryu was about to check his wound, Alex justu turned his body and pulled the arrow, it turned out that the arrow had only pierced through his clothes.

"Are you satisfied with playing?"

Alex approached the mother and threw the arrow in front of her.

"Mother...."

Alex is upset about not getting a response from his mother.

"Assalamualaikum, stupid!"

Mom nicks Alex's head while glaring.

"Yes... Assalamualaikum."

"Getishalight."

The mother thrust her hand and was greeted by Alex lazily.

"Mother..."

It turns out that Yumna is already standing between Jack, Ryu and Han.

"Mother?"

Mom raised her next to her eyebrows.

"Your grandchild!"

Alex answered briefly while crossing his arms around his chest.

"Come, Son!"

mother waved her hand while smiling kindly at Yumna. After glancing at Alex and getting a nod, Yumna finally ran over. Mother handed Alex an arrow and lifted Yumna into her sling.

"What's your name?"

"Yumnah."

Yumna knew that her grandmother was her, because from home her father and mother said that she would visit her grandmother in the village.

"Sweet name"

Mom kissed Yumna's cheeks right and left, a look of happiness on her face. Mom then turned to Alex.

"Where's the father?"

The mother in a low voice asked Alex.

"Of course the most handsome"

Alex smiled mischievously as he glanced at the three of them making the three glance at each other. But it seems they know the direction of the conversation between Alex and her mother.

"Ah, to me their faces looked the same."

"Well, I don't have any taste."

Alex is his friend. Mom then dropped Yumna off. And take the bow from Alex's hand.

"Who of you is my daughter's husband?"

Han and Jack immediately pointed at Ryu who was standing at the very center.

"Thank you"

Syndir Ryu sarcasm then walked over, with a calm face he stopped before his in-laws.

"Assynoltom... Mommy."

Unsolicited Ryu immediately takes Mom's hand and kisses her with a takjim.

Her mother-in-law saw Ryu's behavior.

"Girishal"

Mother then looked at Ryu's face carefully, then patted Ryu's cheeks slowly.

"The aura of your face is like that of a King, someday you will become a great leader."

I don't know what it means but Ryu just smiled hearing that.

"It's a pity that your taste is bad in choosing a wife."

Alex glares.Ryu smiles.

***

"Eat!"

They are now in a spacious living room with a classic Javanese interior. They sat around a round table cross-legged on woven mats.

Mother gave them betel chalk except Yumna. Alex who used to be used to consume it directly into the mouth. Ryu glanced at him for a moment then followed the same as his wife did.

"What's this? don't want!"

Han put the betel chalk on the table, while Jack kissed it and presented a facial expression of dislike.

"Eat!"

Mother's orders again while glaring

"No!"

Han insisted on refusing.

'he thinks I'm afraid of him'

"This is repel bala"

"Reject bala?"

"So that your presence here is accepted and not disturbed by the ancestral spirit."

Alex smiled faintly at it, then patted Jack's thigh slowly and gestured with his chin to eat it. Jack finally kissed the betel once more before putting the betel in a mouthful and chewing slowly with a frown trying to digest a new taste that first touched his tongue.

'Amazing'

"Bulshit, I don't believe the dead can still fling and disturb, so don't watch a lot of horror movies!"

Han quipped but actually it was shown to Alex and Jack who like to watch horror movies.

"O lord of the spirit realm, with all due respect I invite you to come, show yourself. Present"

Mom then commits kamit like a spell.

Han snorted, he let out a breath of air.

"It won't be...."

Brakes... Wuss. torr..

Suddenly the window opened by the wind the wall clock fell and mysteriously broke.

"Astagfirullah...."

As fast as lightning Han took the betel and put it in his mouth and swallowed it round and round.

"You swallowed?"

Nodding Han while coughing.

"Who told you to?"

Mother then took out the rest of the betel and threw it into the trash followed by the others.

"Has his spirit gone?"

"That spirit is in your imagination, boy."

"Then what was that?"

Han asked while docked to Jack.

Mom took out a control remote and put it on the desk.

They laughed out loud at Han's expression, only Yumna looked confused looking at their behavior. Ryu who was usually calm just laughed until crying saw that.

'fucking old granny'

***

Seroang men nodded kindly at the guests of Chatur's mother after lighting torches throughout the room and around the house. The day is approaching magrib.

"What is the light off?"

Han asked while eating the food served, corn rice, grilled fish, grilled chicken, sambal and fresh cucumber lalapan.

"No."

"Why not just turn on the lights?"

"There's no electricity."

Alex relaxed.

"What?"

Shouted Han and Jack together, not believing, this is already the modern century, the time is not electric, which is true.

"Then the lamp?"

Han looked up at the antique lamp hanging in the middle of the living room.

"And the TV?"

Han turned his head to a home theater-sized LED television set set on a classic teak wood dipet. When viewed a mixture of classic and modern look very artistic.

"That's a display, don't be tacky!"

"What, that expensive TV is just a display?"

Han glared in disbelief.

"Then? it's up to me that I buy it with my own money, why are you bothering?"

Han and Jack looked at each other.

"It's fine too."

Jack sighed justifying and then again enjoyed the dish presented with a plate made of clay based on banana leaves. He glanced at Alex who had just put on a sour face expression.now he understood why Alex never came home.

"I love those lights, Dad I want those lights home?"

Yumna innocently thought the torch was a lamp. Ryu just smiled at Yumna.

"Oh Yumna do I intend to earth your father's house!"

after they finished eating they prayed in a pendopo made of bamboo and wood that is special for worship.

"Hey why don't you immediately wudhu and pray!"

Mother glared at Han who actually relaxed while igniting a cigarette.

"A little hitch."

Han's nyleneh's reply made Jack laugh stifled. Mother glared more.

"Do you know what the punishment is for a man who does not perform obligatory prayers here?"

Han just glared, and didn't care.

"In circumcision until it's over!"

Hearing that Han who usually never prayed directly ngacir to the look of ablution, fearing his own was exhausted.

Jack was appointed Imam and they prayed together.

after teaching and having small talk, they knew that Chatur's mother was the chieftain of this village.

Night before bed....

"What's? why do we have to sleep here?"

Han filed a protest when the mother offered a pillow and blanket to Han and Jack as their bedmates in the pendopo, but when he went to the bathroom he saw several rooms in the house. Then why?

"because you're not a believer, b0d0h!"

"What about, Ryu, he's a man too?"

Han pointed at Ryu who was behind Bu Chatur with Alex and Yumna.

"He's my son-in-law, so it's naji!"

Ms. Chatur glared as she snapped at Han's head.Sontak Han complained.

"But you can sleep inside, on one condition?"

"What?"

sahut Han quickly, Jack who stood beside him also showed a wave of curiosity.

"Married."

"Married?"

Han repeated mother's words while twitching his forehead.

"With me... Haha"

Han snatched away because he felt played with her and took the pillow and blanket from Bu Chatur's hand.

"I'd rather freeze to death than marry you, old grandma!"

Mrs Chatur just chuckles.

"Calm down, man, you won't be cold there's me!"

Jack hugged Han on the shoulder, while the others rang from Pendopo and walked into the house.

"Silence, I'm still normal"

The house has ten bedrooms, located next to the main house because at a glance the room was like separate from the main house, but it gave a unique impression. Alex's bedroom was next to his mother's, while the other eight rooms were facing each other.

"Who is this?"

Ryu asks Alex who is busy moving clothes from the suitcase into the closet next to Ryu sitting at the time.

"My three older brothers..."

Ryu looked at Alex who was standing while looking at a book that was similar to a photo album but the content was a very beautiful three-dimensional black and white face painting, According to Ryu, the person who painted this must have been really great.

"They're dead."

Ryu looked at Alex fixedly.

"This village has a dark history in the past, I won't tell you, but you can read it in the village library, I'll give you all day tomorrow."

Alex seems to understand that Ryu wants to ask about the death of his three brothers Ryu back staring at the album, while Alex continues his activities again.

"I think it's you?"

Ryu shows a painting of a young girl smiling sweetly at Alex.

Alex looked at her for a moment and then she smiled.

"You think?"

Ryu went back to look at the album sheet by sheet.

"why should you bother looking at my painting while I'm in front of you?"

"because your painting's more interesting."

Alex chuckles, then takes the album out of Ryu's hands and puts it on the nightstand.

"What if now, is my painting still more interesting?"

Alex sat on Ryu's lap and held his hand around her husband's neck affectionately, Ryu looked into Alex's eyes warmly, not having to wait long for their lips to fuse together, on that cold night they both warmed themselves by mixing love in the cradle of romance.

"Aren't you going to bring them in?" ryu asked after they were done with their evening activities.

Meanwhile...

That night the weather was very cold especially the wind sometimes blows.Han to shiver cold and can not sleep, let alone many mosquitoes that disturb. the dim lights not to mention the sound of a long dog howl is very making the atmosphere even more horror.He was forced to sleep tight on Jack. felt his body approached, Jack just smiled.although he himself did not like this situation.

"Waa... Astagfirullah... Jacks... "

Han was shocked to death when suddenly someone touched his body.

"Alexes..."

Han turned his head when he heard Jack's voice, he felt relieved when he saw Alex doing it.

"you want to make me die so soon, why are you here?"

Ujur Han while sitting.

"sssttt... don't be noisy, you'll hear me, come quickly come with me!"

Alex put his index finger on his lips.

Han and Jack looked at it for a moment without saying any more they followed Alex's steps.It turns out Alex took them into his room and entered through the window.

Alex holds the window to help Han and Jack get inside

"Finally..."

Han muttered softly, then he immediately dropped himself on the bed. Then he was shocked because Ryu's face smiled right in front of his face.Because it only uses torch lighting, making the room not too bright.

"Alex, why are you taking us to your room, aren't there many other rooms here"

Han exclaimed softly, but pitched in annoyance.

"The key is with mom, if you want to take it to her own room?"

"Where should I sleep?"

"No..."

Alex pointed at a thin mat with his chin.

"Jeez, my fate is really shit"

moaned Han while getting out of bed.

"Calm down, man, there's still me!"

Jack threw himself beside Han.

"Stupid Time."

Han turned his body back to Jack in annoyance.

"Hmmm, it's so warm in here, isn't it baby?"

Alex smiled ignorantly. Han grew increasingly arrogant and then pulled the blanket to cover his face.
