MARRIED THIRTEEN WOMEN
Deal.
That night, at the residence Jiwo looks crowded. The arrival of foreigners in their place is quite a concern for local residents. Many feel sorry for these women. They lost contact with family. They were also scattered and did not know the fate of their families.
Although it is constrained by language, thanks to the help of Jiwo, their chatter is quite smooth. Apparently not in vain, Jiwo really likes English. Perhaps this is one of the paths that destiny prepared for the man.
The thirteen women also showed the name given Jiwo. From the look of the eyes that emanated, they did look very happy and full of gratitude because they were met with a man as good as Jiwo. They also talked about their wedding plans including the deal they had talked about.
"If there is such an agreement, mending you make a letter of agreement, Wo," proposed one of the residents.
"Letter of agreement?"
"Yes, Wo. The letter can be as an reinforcement of your marriage later. We don't know what's going to happen in the future. That letter could be proof of your marriage."
"Ah yes, right, Wo. Later you sign it on the stamp duty, ask Mr. Rt and some of the citizens to sign it too, including the ones who marry you later."
"What they say is true, Wo. You and these thirteen women need reinforcement for proof of marriage. Because serial marriage is not recorded in the country, so what harm you can make the letter to hold until you divorce later," Mr. Rt also gave advice.
"And another one, Wo," continued Uncle Karyo. "You also try to visit people who know religion. Can't you marry them for reasons like you talked about? Your intentions are good, but there's no harm in asking others for their opinions."
"Good, Uncle. I will think carefully," Jiwo replied. "Thank you everyone. If there aren't any of you, I somehow have to."
"Well, that's great God, Wo. You sincerely help them, so God easily helps you through your neighbors," said Uncle. And the citizens agree with the words of Uncle Karyo.
They got back late in the conversation. Until not felt, the night is getting late, one by one residents on retreat.
After all the guests on left, Mother had the thirteen women move into the room. Partly in the room of Jiwo's former brother and part in the room of Jiwo's former sister. Although the two children were far apart, Mother always cleaned their room, so that when they visited, the room could be immediately used.
Once again the thirteen women seemed very grateful. Although crowded, there were even those sleeping on the floor mattress, they did not mind at all. They even look happier. For them, this place is better than their refuge.
"I didn't think we'd meet a nice guy here?"
"Sama, I shaved. What else Mister Jiwo seems sincere."
"I hope so too. I hope that Mister Jiwo will always have some kindness. Also Mom and everyone here."
"Aamiin's."
"Already, now we better sleep, tomorrow we wake up early and help here. We should know ourselves too."
"okay!"
The day changed again. Today Jiwo and Mom are not active as usual. They take time off because they have a lot to do.
So is Jiwo. Today he would do all the advice he received from Mr. Rt, his Uncle and also some neighbors. Jiwo had thought carefully about their proposal, and everything was indeed true. He must have written evidence. Only time the evidence is useful later.
After having breakfast together and also noting what the deal was, Jiwo rushed off to the typing service. After that do not forget, Jiwo bought some stamps. Last Jiwo went to a kyai's house
At home kyai, Jiwo then told the purpose of coming to his house and the reason. Kyai also heard Jiwo's explanation well and digested everything. Jiwo's reason was reasonable, even when Kyai asked, Jiwo answered without hesitation.
Jiwo's smile grew as Kyai gave the green light. Even he was willing to marry Jiwo to the thirteen women. Before giving consent, Sang Kyai first gave advice and some advice as well as questions related to women. Until finally Sang Kyai gave his blessing after he considered quite mature.
Jiwo came home with a feeling of relief. Although the marriage was only a serial marriage and there were some agreements that became agreements, but Jiwo did not seem to be concerned at all. For Jiwo at the moment the important thing is that he is married.
Meanwhile somewhere else.
"We should be able to find the thirteen women as soon as possible!"
"Ready, Boss!"
