My Husband's Harem
helping citizens.

When he arrived on the island of Sumatra, Yanti looked gloomy unhappy, but how else, he had just gotten a reality that was so painful.

That her husband did not want her, and only wanted his wife who was currently at home.

"we will stay at my friend's house, and while there please act like a happy couple, can you Yanti?"

"of course kang mas, according to your request," said the woman who can only obey her husband's wishes.

The two of them were riding in a carriage that took them to the big family home in the city.

Yes they had to come to that city because there was a big job waiting for Father Heru.

Yanti and Father Heru arrived at a typical Minangkabau style residence.

He was welcomed quite well because indeed the social status of Father Heru is also not an arbitrary person.

"how was your trip Uda, was it so tiring?" ask Ramli.

"you know if I should leave my house and come here of course it's tiring, but I'm curious about what you're offering me through your letter, that's what I came to take my wife and we wanted to take a walk in this town,"

"that's good Uda, later I'll show you some good places," Ramli said.

"wait a minute, but before that let our guest rest" Ramli's wife scolds her husband who sometimes forgets time.

Father Heru and Yanti were allowed to occupy the rooms that had been prepared.

it turns out that the room is quite large, even though it only has one bed, later he and Yanti can share the bed.

"you take a bath first, for I must speak with the rooflocks," said Father Heru.

"well, Father" replied Yanti.

the man exited the room and rushed to the front of the house, and saw his two bodyguards.

"Kipli and Kasyo, make sure you rest because tomorrow our activities will not be a little, and again whatever happens here, do not let Nyai Arumi hear from you,"

"we understand Father Heru," answered the two.

Father Heru looked at the night sky, "ah I just got here, and already miss my wife, ah I always remember her smile," said Father Heru.

"it's the funny Romo, it's the wife invited to still miss," said Kipli who wants to joke.

"you're stupid, I mean Romo Nyai Arumi," Kasyo said, reprimanding the man's head.

"don't mention Arumi by name for the next month, otherwise it might remind me of her" said Father Heru.

"well, Father" answered both.

While in the village, it has been one day and one night this rain never subsided, even some rivers began to overflow.

"sak Geno please prepare everything, I'm afraid if the rain does not stop with a big flood" said Arumi who saw the water that began to reminisce.

"of course," replied the man.

He remembered the villagers would definitely not be able to go out looking for food.

But he also could not come out in this state, because he also could not carelessly go because of his circumstances.

this afternoon it was also raining very hard, "hopefully kang mas who is far away there will be fine" Arumi murmured.

The night was still raining heavily and it felt so cold, and Arumi missed her husband very much.

But she must not be weak, because she is a strong woman, even she should not be sad even though she has to go through everything that happens.

The next morning, the mbok mban panicked as the water began to rise, and it was the first time the village was flooded.

"Heyai please stay at home yes, because the conditions in the village are very bad, Geno is looking at the state of the residents," said mbok Jum.

"what's the reason why it could flood like this, but yesterday it hasn't,"

"it looks like this is a flood of nyai shipments, because there is a river that breaks upstream and it makes all the water heading to the village" replied Idan.

"well Nyai," answered Idan directing all his subordinates.

Arumi ordered all the mban mbok to help each other, and they would cook big.

Arumi did not care how much money he spent, because he did not want to see the villagers starving.

Geno just came after seeing all the condition of the villagers. Arumi got up and approached the man.

"how are the cak residents?"

"it's bad, some families can't eat and many children are sick" said the man, who appeared exhausted from struggling to walk in the flood waters.

"we open the Harem palace for the sick, and have the mantri come to treat everyone, especially the children and the elderly" Arumi said.

"but Nyai,"

"there is no time to put it off again, before many people die again,"

"well Nyai!!" replied Geno who immediately invited five of his men to evacuate the sick.

Because the Harem palace is so wide, even the pendopo in front of the house can be used for residents to rest.

the place has been closed in such a way as not to be too exposed to the wind when heavy rain comes.

all dishes are also finished, although only rice and side dishes are sober, even vegetables are not there because they are submerged in flooding.

it turns out that almost all are children, Arumi does not care if he helps to compress some children who are sick.

Even Ndoro Sodik and Sukma were seen helping the villagers come.

Sukma did not expect that Arumi has a social spirit of this height, even though the Harem palace was never open to citizens like this

"please get some food, make sure everyone eats first" said Arumi, who was so worried.

"please take care of your condition as well" said Minten worried because Arumi continued to move around.

"calm down, I know the limits of my body, and I'll stop when I can't" Arumi smiled.

Eventually all the residents ate together at the house of Father Heru, and were lucky thanks to the kindness of Arumi.

The whole people did not go hungry anymore, and the funny thing is, Ndoro Sodik netted fish beside the Harem palace.

"what are you doing Sodik, you are crazy!" sukma.

"i'm just trying to test my luck, after all we need a side dish to eat next," said Ndoro Sodik.

Hearing that, Sukma also tried to remember the plantations around the house.

"for healthy fathers, help us find vegetables or fish for side dishes" Sukma said.

"well Nyai!" answer everyone.

A pregnant woman was carried by Geno, apparently the woman wanted to give birth.

Mbok Minten immediately helped the woman, and luckily the woman and her baby were born safely.

"congratulations, daughter," said Minten.

"thank you, ma'am" replied the woman who was still so weak.

luckily this Sodik Ndoro can get quite a lot of catfish, because many fish ponds are destroyed.

Seen many residents who flocked to help the mbok mban.

Arumi was tired and decided to sit in one corner of the house, mbok Jum who saw also came with food.

"unfortunately, please eat first yes,"

"well, thank you, yes" said Arumi who smiled sweetly.
