MARRIED FOR INDIGENOUS DEBT
Happy Suffering.

Sewing activity continued again, and without me realizing it was 4 am, Kebaya Rani finally finished.just give the last touch to make it more perfect.

Beres-bluffing at the sewing table then doing the usual activities like other housewives.

All the kitchen work is completed, and continue with the livestock.Lamp light from the lights that illuminate the livestock enclosure area.

Cook the fodder and clean the stables, after it is clean and the food is cold directly feed both of my healthy growing cattle.

After that shower and get dressed, while bang Andri was still sound asleep.I sat on the bedside to wake up this Husband.

"bang.....

With both eyes finally bang Andri wake up and sit down, between conscious or still dreaming he moves and sits on the edge of the bed close to Me.

"where is your breakfast and coffee?"

uhmmm that again and again, wanted to make it feel like he was getting out of that bed, but I was afraid of being brought to the police station on domestic violence charges.

"eh.. child of Mami, the spoiled child wakes up......... I'm not your Mom if you want breakfast at the dinner table, I'm lucky to have provided.

ngak give money shopping, requests such as the request of the king. haloo wake up spoiled children....."

Bang Andri immediately stood right in front of me, standing on her waist exactly like her Mama when talking to me.

"eh.. I am your husband, respect the husband do not be disobedient to the husband."

he said in a rather high tone while leaving his waist and the look on his face was very Exact like his Mama.

"the cherished husband is the husband who gives his wife a living and appreciates his wife, not like a spoiled child like Mu, lazy early in the morning arguing with a spoiled child.there bathe and dress, I'll wait at the dinner table."

Bang Andri looked upset but I did not care and immediately left her in the room. I immediately ate without waiting for Andri bang because she must have long and and and Him.

Sure enough, I had finished eating and washing the dishes bang Andri just arrived at the dinner table, as soon as she sat down I left.

Sewing activities I continue back to finish Kebaya Mamak, it has been almost an hour of sewing then bang Andri out of the kitchen.

Bang Andri left for work with a bent face without saying a word. After bang Andri left for work, the big doors and windows were immediately closed so I could rest.

The living room deliberately I choose for a place to rest, if there are guests who come I can hear.**

It just felt asleep, the door was knocked on by someone and after I opened it turned out that who came was the older sister of bang Andri who came.

His name is Uli Marito, nicknamed Uli, he has worked on the island of Java there. and Uli Marito two years older than Andri bang and not married. after I send in and sit in a chair.

"Easter..The pantasan Andri crazy about you, it turns out you are very beautiful apparently.sorry I can not be present at your wedding.

Oh yeah, I came here to wish you a happy suffering for being married to Andri that spoiled child."

I just smiled in response to the words of my sister-in-law, this one is somewhat different. Usually others say happy congratulations but this is even the opposite.

"yes thank you for your prayer and congratulations Your prayer has been answered, is there anything else you want to say?"

I responded by subtly evicting him, our family line is still Cousins. My father was the brother of their mother.

In the Toba Batak tradition, I and Andri are called paribans.that is, Cousins who can get married.and our Oppung has tied the rope between us both using Indigenous traditions.

The traditional tradition in our village, a pariban abstains from refusing. If he refuses his pariban must give a submission according to the agreement of Marga elders.

The Toba Batak tribe in various regions have different customary rules, as well as in our village. there is a term of arranged marriage bond that is tied by giving a hand in the form of a pair of livestock (usually in the form of pigs or buffalo), and ulos as a binder.

That's why I'm stuck in this marriage, deep in the wilderness there's a love waiting for me. He's the man I love that I left because my father told me that my mother was very sick, but I was actually married to his niece or my own pariban.

I cannot refuse because of the arranged marriage in the past which is bound, here is called Indigenous Debt. coupled with sinamot (Mahar) of 300 million Rupiahs that have been received by my parents.

The consequences are great, if I refuse to marry bang Andri. if I refuse then my family will pay the Indigenous debt fine, in the form of two buffalo children and customary events that cost a lot.

If this cannot be done, then both of my parents will be expelled from the Indigenous association.and that is a disgrace, both of my parents can never attend the traditional event, either marriage, or the, birth and death.

Both my parents will never be able to carry out the custom for their children, even when they die there will be no customary event and the body will be refused to be buried in a customary land cemetery.

We were four brothers, 2 women and two men. I'm the biggest child, my family is not a family that has enough so it is impossible to pay the Indigenous debt that the father made with Oppung.

If I refuse, then My brothers will be rubbed as well as our parents.

From the beginning I had refused, but after all consideration I finally accepted and left my love waiting for me. All for the sake of my family.

Bang Andri is 6 years older than Me, plus a handsome face that can melt the hardness of my heart reject Him.

With an older age than Ku, in this mind, maybe bang Andri can be a guardian of Ku. seen from the outside, bang Andri like a wise and firm but real Man, His, the man who was my husband was under the control of his mother.

The expression of Uli, my sister-in-law who remembers me for my love that awaits Me there. deep in the overseas land, until now has not received any news from Me.

All his contacts I have blocked and I have removed, I am afraid to tell from Me. What I fear the most if I give him news I turn to him and the family will be on the verge of destruction.

I do not want to be selfish, this is the destiny that I have to live. If I want divorce then I have to pay fines and the brothers who will bear the burden.

All for the sake of family, as the first child I will do as much as possible for the family, even if it inflames My happiness and my love.
