Section 477: Nyebrang 9
Everyone gathered at Uncle Aep's house, already cleaned together, not too dirty like their previous prejudices, it turned out that Mang Eman always cleaned it periodically.
“Maap yes disturb, this is Mamang wife's cooking, eaten yes, you have not eaten since coming loh, as if yes.”
Mang emang brought a basket of rice, salted fish side dishes, terasi sambal, cucumber and lalapan leaves, typical of Sundanese people.
“Wah! Salted fish!” Ganding and Jarni look sparkling.
They immediately allowed Wak Eman to enter the living room, there was no bench there, apparently had been donated, he said, therefore, the mandate of Uncle Aep who before dying asked Wak Eman to donate everything here, including kitchen furniture and other household, there is only mat left, the mat was left only so that if Wak Eman cleaned his house, could sit in the living room just rest.
Now it is useful for the herd to sit and sleep for a while.
“Wak, come eat dong.” The others prepared to eat, which was enough for all of them, even though Alisha had ordered fast food to be delivered to the house, but it looks like the food will be a counter food given to Wak Eman when it arrives, everyone prefers to eat salted fish rather than fast food ordered by Alisha, the consumption section, as opposed to brine fish, in always being the one who takes care of the feeding, clothing and all the necessities that the herd rarely thinks about, Alisha is like a landlady with a very young and energetic age.
“You like salted fish?”
“Of course Mang, this is the perfect meal on this cold night.” Ganding answered while devouringly eating, the others looked to be enjoying hot rice and also salted fish, their expressions unenviable, all sparkling at the rare food in the city they lived in.
“You guys are like the Aep, Aep also really like to eat salted fish, sometimes, I do not eat dinner with family, occasionally accompany Aep to eat together in this house, eating alakadarnya, but Aep never complained, he was working on his own rice field, the rice field that we had visited, some of which belonged to Aep, but has been given to the local government, he said, for the needs of those who are unable, we work together on the rice fields. For the common good.”
“People aren't afraid of Uncle Aep Mang's rice fields? Given that myth, about the streets in the rice fields?” Aditia asked, the plate was clean of rice and salted fish that became a prima donna tonight.
“No, funny yes, the person is hostile while alive, but when he dies, his property still sells, wants, even contested.”
“Man, that's how he behaves, if the matter of money does not care, as long as it can still belong.”
“Ya, I also regret, at that time ...”
BACK TO THAT MOMENT
“This water is for what Ep?” Eman asked, Aep was seen pouring water into the yard of Eman's house, he turned the flush, until he got to the back of the house, the house in the village was not stuck, not meeting a wall with a wall between neighbors, there is a yard that surrounds the house, so it is easy for Aep to fence the house.
“Fence, which I promised last night.”
“Ep, is there still going to hit?” Eman asked.
“Yes, for sure, since I've already declared war, they will come more and more.” Aep looks calm from before.
“Ep, you are not afraid?”
“Fear? no, I didn't fight not out of fear, I didn't fight because I didn't want to make a fuss, but Mulyana had unlocked it, only she and our father were able to unlock it, I know Mulyana opened it while taking the genie off my leg yesterday.
I know he did and let me choose, use it, or let it stay there. Inside my body.
Therefore, Eman ... don't come to my house again, don't greet me, don't be friendly to me, don't ever be friends with me again.”
“Ep! Why that?”
I lost my son before I was even born, he was targeted, my wife was crazy and now that my father is gone, they know that me and Mulyana are not as good as our father, that's why they're always after us, and Mulyana's hiding her family, she's smart, I think she's going to follow in my footsteps, by being the great Charisma Jagat, household is not the main thing, but I'm wrong, he even built a household with ordinary people, broke traditional soul mates and even joined the traditional anti-match movement, waiting for Ayi Mahogra, their Queen, who he said would come to help their movement, but now that the Queen has not come at all, there is no visible trunk of her nose.
I'm tired of Man, always running and finally being their moons.
I want to fight even once, I want them to know, who to deal with.”
“You're good to fight, but don't ever ask me to stay away from you, I already consider you family, I'm good because you were good to our family first, I don't know, you helped us a lot, including giving my boss a recommendation, right? you're the one who got me the job, you're the good guy Man, don't let you be like them yeah, I'll keep you company, my family will keep supporting you, I'll make sure, we still think of you as family.”
“But Man ...”
“Already, I don't want to hear anymore, I'll have dinner with you tonight, as always.”
“Can't, don't, I'll do the ritual.”
“What ritual?” Eman's confused.
“I will attack them first, if you remain stubbornly willing to be with me, you must be ready, with all the problems that might make us suspicious of each other. Believe me, when I fight, they will chase people close to me.” Aep repeated, he wants to make sure Eman understands and is ready.
“My family and I will prepare for it, Ep.”
“As far as you are.” Aep said goodbye because he's going to his rice field, get ready.
He goes to his rice field, he will start sowing rice seeds, because the last harvest yesterday was quite good.
Before sowing rice seeds, Aep must prepare the land, first he must flatten the land, Aep must ensure that the land is not flooded with water so that the seedlings do not sink.
He was carrying quite a long piece of wood, perhaps about one and a half meters long, about 10 to 15 centimeters wide, which was used to flatten the ground, the ground to be leveled, pulled back with the wood.
In the leveled soil, there will be a flow of water that will not be planted with rice, until the rice is safe when growing slowly from excessive puddles.
The rice seed that Aep had prepared, the plan would be sown in the land that he would prepare, when it came to the rice field, how surprised he was, the land he was about to prepare, was already destroyed.
The land was harvested yesterday, usually inundated with water, left 2 to 3 weeks before sowing again, only to have the land ready to be used as a rice sowing ground. That's what Aep thinks, because it's been a long time since he's been here after the last harvest.
That's because Aep is very difficult to take time to sow rice seeds, because of this shamanic problem, he left the soil unkempt for almost a month, of course the soil has a decline in quality, but it's not gonna be like this.
Like someone deliberately poured cement on the ground, pouring with great intention. Because almost all of Aep's land was covered in cement.
Cement can make the quality of land that was previously used as land to grow rice, become decreased.
It takes time to destroy the already hardened cement in the soil, after that clean the soil, properly watering it, after which it must wait again for a new week can begin to be planted.
It's outrageous that anyone does this, Aep looks sad and very angry, messing with someone's farm, it's a heinous act.
Aep even shed tears, how would he break this cement? if done alone, it would be very difficult, ask for help who?
