DRAGON CARVED JADE BRACELET
Chapter 155: MELIAN IS LONELY

It's Saturday afternoon. On the terrace of the Jamil family home.

    Now, after Irul married Indra, Irul no longer lives in the company. It has been almost a week since Irul was at his parents' house in Lasem. Of course because it is a newlywed who has not been allowed to travel by his parents, who still strongly adhere to the rules of customs.

    Melian is the most lonely child. Usually, in the morning, leaving for school is delivered by Mas Irul. Likewise when returning from school, also picked up by Mas Irul. Now, it has been one week Melian left and returned to school delivered and picked up by her father. Of course, Melian could not talk or talk freely. Very different if the one who drove or picked up Irul, Melian could tell stories freely without covering up secrets. Even often invited to stop by to buy meatballs or chicken noodles. Anyway it's better to go and go home to school with Mas Irul.

    However, now that Mas Irul is not in Kampung Naga, there is nothing in the company of his father, Melian really just feel how important Mas Irul in his life. At least, Mas Irul is the place to confide in. If there is any problem, Melian conveyed to Mas Irul. Then ask for an opinion. Or even argue if each other is not suitable in opinion. Yes, the two people, between Irul and Melian are like brothers, despite their age difference of about seventeen years.

    "Mr .... Melian misses the same Mas Irul ..." said Melian who spewed on her mother, while on the porch of the house sitting together. Of course, waiting for his father to come home.

    "Eeh .., ndakt be so, Nduk .... Mas Irul now has a wife, Ms. Indra ..., still a newlywed .... Yes, he should start taking care of his family, Ndik ..." said his mother who certainly advised her son not to disturb the newlyweds.

    "Mak .., when did Mas Irul come back here?" ask Melian again, who would have been very anxious for Irul to come home soon.

    "Not yet to know .... Maybe you still can't go out of the house with Pak-e and Mak-e Mas Irul .." replied his mother.

    "Lhoh ..., why can't you leave the house, Mak ...?! Indeed why?" ask Melian who certainly does not understand the customs of the ancient people.

    "People of old did, Nduk .... If it runs out of incantation, you can not go first if it has not even sebasasar .... Mak-e same Pak-e used to be, too, kok ..." explained Juminem to his son.

    "What's the bottom of it, Mak ...?" ask Melian who does not understand.

    "The market is five days, a matter of market days for the Javanese .... That's ..., Pon, Wage, Kliwon, Legi, Pahing .... That's why, yesterday Mas Irul and Ms. Indra married her on Legi Sunday .., until the Legi again, Legi Friday ..., the newlyweds are not allowed to leave the house." the word JUminem explained to his son.

    "God .... Iha kept at home constantly want to say what, Mak ...? Aren't you bored?" melian asked her mother.      "Yes ..., how else ...? Also called custom. Want to be violated fear kuwalat, ora ilok .... If obeyed, yes of course bored, Nduk .... Wong at home morning, noon, night .... It was just that." replied his mother.

    "Would I have a child soon, Mom ...?" ask Melian who has not gone home with the process of having children.

    "Ah, puff ..., Nduk .... In fact Mak-e same Pak-e used to be according to all parents' orders, but until now also do not have children ...." sahut Juminem who certainly remember that he until now has no offspring.

    "Lhah, it already has Melian ..." said his son who would still want to be called the real son.

    "Yes .... We're grateful. The Almighty is indeed just. He's already given the best kid to Mak-e and Pak-e .... A beautiful child and a pinter" said Juminem who of course in his small heart is actually still protesting because he has no children. Melian is just another boy she's found. And tomorrow when she grows up, Melian will definitely go follow her husband.

    "Don't be sad, Mom .... Melian is also grateful to be able to meet and be treated with Mak-e and Pak-e .... Perhaps God has ordained us as parents and children who love each other .... I am also happy and proud to have Mak-e with Pak-e. Be kind and take care of Melian sincerely" said Melian who also boasts her parents.

    "All are destined to be the same Power, Nduk .." said his mother.

    "Mak ..., if Melian goes to Mas Irul's house, how?" ask Melian suddenly.

    "Huh ...?! What's to do?" of course her mother was confused.

    "Outside .., Melian misses Mas Irul .... Can't talk anymore .." said Melian.

    "Away, Nduk .... What's going up there ...? The entrance from the highway is still a long way .." said his mother who certainly objected that her son should follow Irul to Lasem.

    "Bus ride .... Continue to go down at Pasar Lasem ..., from the bull market ojek to the house Mas Irul ..." replied Melian.

    "Don't, Nduk .... Tomorrow if you can go out, Mas Irul also returned to work here .... He came home here ..." forbid his mother.

    "If you don't come back here ..., how?" Melian tried to crack.

    "The clothes are still many in the room, really .... Yes, it must be here, Nduk ..." said his mother.

    "Lhah, continue ..., if Mas Irul returns to work here, Ms Indra how?" ask Melian who of course also thinks about the fate of Ms Indra if left at home alone.

    "Yes, no problem .., leh .... Kan Cik Indra has grown up ..." said his mother.

    "The problem, Ms Indra is now his wife Mas Irul .... If left in Lasem, who lives in such a deserted village, is Ms Indra at home?" said Melian who certainly saw loneliness in her village Irul.

    "Where to .... Ms. Indra was the one who did not want to trouble others. He is very independent. While in Semarang alone, having a brother whose house is large, he does not want to live in his brother's house. He said he didn't want to trouble anyone .... Kok was even told to live in our house that is not who he is .... Where do you want, Mak ..." Melian explained.

    "Yes .., he lives in the factory, to .... In his room Mas Irul ..." said his mother.

    "Moreover stay in the factory .... Yes obviously embarrassed by the other employees to, Mak ..." objected Melian.

    "Ooo .... I see, yes ...." Juminem is indeed difficult to distinguish between feelings with the good intentions of his heart.

    The two women, mother and son kept telling stories. Until finally, his father came, riding a duck motorcycle, and of course immediately raised to the porch of the house.

    "Horee .., sir-e came home ..." said Melian who welcomed her father's arrival, and of course immediately took his father's hand.

    "Again to what, this ...?" ask Jamil who would like to know the activities of his son and wife.

    "Again Mas Irul .... This ..., Melian kangen, Kang ..." replied Juminem who had also stood up following her husband.

    "Tomorrow to come back here again .... Let the honeymoon be satisfied first ..." said Jamil casually responding to his wife's words.

    "Tomorrow when, sir ...? Tell me the same Pek-e, no.., Mas Irul returned to Juwana when ...?" ask Melian to her father.

    "No .... But for the villagers, usually if not as rough, you can not leave the house .." replied his father.

    "Kok equals the answer Mak-e .... Indeed, if it is not as market yet can go, sir ...?" ask Melian who would want an explanation from her father.

    "Yes .... Usually if the target there is a salvation event .... But it should have been last night. This will be as market as more" said his father who is certainly very familiar with village customs.

    "Why should there be a salutation, sir?" ask Melian who wants to know.

    "Yes .., her name is selamatan .... Means offering prayers so that the bride is safe in living married life. Let his family be safe, peaceful, peaceful, and happy forever, until kaken-kaken and ninen-ninen ..." explained his father.

    "Moreover that, sir ...? How I got confused." said Melian.

    "Believe until old age .... Until grandparents ..." replied his father.

    "Ooo ...." Melian gawking.

    "Pak-e and Mak-e are like that too, Nduk .... Later can momong grandchildren, your children .... Hehe ..." timpal Juminem.

    "Bg ..., Mak-e .... Melian still wants to go to school, Mak .... Don't say that ..., shame ..." said Melian who certainly did not want to be told to quickly get married.

    "Yes .... School was smart .... Let tomorrow be able to arrange the household well and beautifully" said his father.

    "Pak ..., if Melian wants to go to Mas Irul's house tomorrow, how? Can't you?" ask Melian to her father.

    "Eit ..., don't ...! Can't ...!" his father immediately forbade.

    "Why, Mr ...? Melian was kangen ..." asked Melian.

    "Mas Irul equals Ms Indra's newlyweds .... Do not be disturbed first .... It's not good to bother the newlyweds. Let Mas Irul and Ms Indra have fun first .... You know right, Mas Irul is joko kasep .., is old just married. Likewise Ms. Indra, the virgin is also quite old .... Let them enjoy the beauty of married life first .. live as husband and wife .... If you go there, wee ..., it's disturbing." explained his father.

    "That, yes ..., sir ...?" Melian tried to think.

    "If for example they say it's okay .., but it's just words spoken from the mouth. We need to be able to keep the feelings of others. Moreover, Melian who came to see Ms Indra the same Mas Irul, surely they will bother looking for all sorts to please you .... So .., we ourselves should be able to put ourselves. Do not indulge our passions, imposing the will on others. That is, Nduk ..." explained his father, who of course to advise his son and wife.

    "Yes, sir .." answered two women, his son and his wife.

    "We'll just wait .... Tomorrow Mas Irul and Ms Indra will be here .." said Jamil who reassured and calmed his wife's child.
