The Father Boy
ALA291-292. Reasons for a college strike

"It's okay, Brother likes to be taken care of. Thanks huh?" I poked his chin softly. 

His face immediately met red, like a teenager who felt in love. Nahda responded to her husband, though, 

"I also want to thank you, because Brother has made a living for me, love me dwelling, love me comfort at home, love me affection and love." He hugged me, because of his position I was sitting on a chair and he was sitting on the floor. 

"Together, Honey. That's all brother's duty and Adek's right." So we are this. 

"I feel right when I have a brother at home." He took care of my calf back. 

My hair is invisible, because I rarely have shorts. It's up to Nahda, the important thing is not to unplug it one by one. 

"Abang was at home there was Adek. The spirit of his work is also, remember Adek at home tuh beautiful and looks sweet when using gold. Adek spirit of college, right for the provision of our future takes care of the fields." He took a kind of forestry school or whatever, his department is the same as Adi's grandfather. If not wrong, it is a technique. 

Nahda looked up. He may be confused as to why I am withdrawing this discussion. 

"Later our efforts cake grandfather and grandmother. Grandpa has knowledge in the field, his grandmother is good at marketing. Later Adek who make innovation change so that our fields can be more profitable and modern, continue to advance for marketing." 

Trust me, I'd rather have Nahda at home and watch a movie on her laptop. Rather he is busy with business problems, or farm problems so. But Aca's mother wanted her son to be productive, and Ghifar wanted him to pursue higher education. I get around this way, so that Nahda is open-minded with the reason of her love for me and wants to help all my efforts. 

"Does I want to have knowledge of the fields for our future?" 

Apparently, he started to get swept away. 

"Yes, let us give you a decent living for our two children. Kan Adek said he wanted to have two children. We have a lot of fields, for our old age. Comfortable house, there are many pages of honeycomb, so that if Adek tired of cooking, just buy a sachet sambal, continue to Metik basil in the yard." My mouth is so bitter geez, the feeling I used to have is not like this. 

Even if I want our future to be like this, but I won't say it. Let it run by itself and be proved without me revealing. 

Nahda seemed to be thinking, even her hands did not immediately work to lift the hair-thinning cream. 

"Does I want to have some expertise on the fields?"

Why is the question repeated on that alone? 

"Yes, Honey. Brother wants to lots of porang fields, let this field harvest, this one is ready to harvest, this one just planted. So Gavin uncle's cake, every month harvest. The economy is stable, we're not rich at the time of the big harvest." I maintain this soothing smile. 

"Porang-only?" His eyes seemed to focus on finding confidence in my face. 

What's wrong with Nahdaku? What's on his mind? 

"Abang wants to have a teak field, but who will harvest later our grandchildren." I chuckled small. "Abang wants to have a bamboo garden, because there are still many people who need bamboo here. Many people make fences from bamboo, additional wooden houses, doors, windows, chicken coop. Bamboo harvest fast, a day grows there are five centers, right? A long one is pretty good, the cheapest is fifty thousand. Most importantly, it quickly rotates because the market is its own society." Here there are still many typical stilt houses made of wood. But bamboo is only for the addition, not the raw material. 

"Abang wants to have a coffee farm as well, want to expand the dollar market. Typical coffee products here, is still the most expensive coffee. In addition to elite business, we still preserve the natural resources typical of our region." Gayo arabica coffee, just search on Google to be able to imagine the shape and market. 

"Abang likes lettuce, I want to have a hydroponic garden to feed my brother lettuce as often as possible. In vegetable stalls there are rarely, sometimes there is a bundle of very expensive."

How to speak. I'm terNahda-Nahda with what a Nahda is. 

"Okay, the spirit of learning hydroponics. Brother only knows the cultivation of toge in the cotton." Nahda laughed amusedly, hearing my words. 

"Do you have to learn?"

Wow, start taking care of this. 

"What makes Adek lazy to learn? Brother is still learning, brother asked Uncle Gavin, to the father too, about the efforts of the man and process the ginger. Ehh, the father until learning with his friend, so that he can guide Brother. Brother was not suddenly able to cultivate the land, for the cultivation of porang. Brother studied first to Uncle Gavin, Abang to follow him to Lampung loh." Basicku business, kind of like an office. Not down on the field like this, I was automatically shocked and had to learn from the beginning. 

"Enak at home, Bang. It's better to be brother's wife, than I have to sit in a chair to be a student. Sleepy, sleepy, nebosenin." Nahda took a long breath. 

Better to be my wife than a student? Can that be the reason? 

"Tell me, how good is it to be your brother's wife?" What work makes him comfortable at home. 

Both are tired in my opinion. 

"Yes good, snack, I live snack, I'm given money. Many sisters, like to stop selling people, I also buy snacks. I'm dearest, nice facilities, Wi-Fi is there, soft bed, big glass, skincare's got it all. Homework, tired can be left. Try the assignment from the lecturer, where can we stay? There is, this ngancam lecturer. Threatened, Bang. At home, I was never threatened. Not cooking, at least brother just why not cook, then can order food or we go out to eat meatballs in his place."

Ohh, he's depressed. 

"Which lecturers like to threaten? How threatened?" How to know, I need to reprimand. But first, I will make sure the fault is in whom. 

"Yes, if the task is collected today, it can be an A. Tasks are collected tomorrow, can be of B value. Tasks are collected the day after, can be of C value. For those who do not collect tasks, be prepared for the consequences of your final value. Ah, t**tuh! I don't do it, I'm out of college no problem."

Viii…. Her mouth. 

Nahda was cleaning my calf with a spatula, the feathers were carried away as well. 

"Yes that means right, let Adek the spirit of the work of the day so that it can get the value of A." I'm not sure if Nahda understands the meaning of the lecturer. 

"I must be the same responsibility that I started, no need to be threatened about the final value. If Abang threatened this way for example, let's make coffee, if not later brother divorced. Yes I will immediately buy talak, I will immediately take care of the divorce, I will never make the next coffee. Not so how to tell, why should menghancam with the final value? Cake children only, must be imingi-imingi continue coloring, if it is finished can rest. We are adults, we know if given the task is done. There is no need for things to be given A, B or C. If that's the way it is, the lecturer lost his pride in my eyes. I will never appreciate the knowledge he loves again, I will not do all the tasks he gave me, I will never respect him again."

Hard, mom. Look, he said it with annoyance. 

"Who's lecturer is that?" I'll think again to reprimand her, so that Nahda will go to college again. 

"There's no point, not just one person."

Confused as well, who was actually wrong. Nahda who does not want to be given orders, or the lecturer who is the wrong way. 

"Yes, my brother, tell me to take it to take it white water and there is a 'please' speech'. Please get some water to drink, brother, right? Are there people closest to me I'm telling you with threats? Did you ever tell me, continue if I don't want to later papa ngancam not love me anymore? Never did it. I was obedient, obedient, obedient. I was educated always like that, if his orders were in good terms. It's not like the order either, sell yourself! It's not so, Bang. I'm definitely doing my job, no need to be threatened or anything."

Yes the lecturer will say 'please, do the task from me huh?'. It feels weird, doesn't it? My lecturer once, ordered like this 'please do it, so that you know where you can understand'. No one asked for help, so that the task of his was done. 

"Dong difference, Deck. Later Abang said the same lecturer, but Adek tomorrow college first huh? Not all orders, must be inserted requests for help. Not everyone thinks we're toddlers, Dek. The people closest to us, parents for example. Giving orders, with the request for help because we are considered small children. Even if we don't want to tell parents, we tell them when we need help. For example, Adek again the responsibility of midget in the bathroom. But the teapot siul Adek was loud it sounded, yes Adek must have told the closest person to the request 'please', because Adek was in a condition can not immediately turn off the noisy teapot." Nahda wants everyone to follow her teachings in her home. He did not understand, others were educated in different ways. 

Courteousness is a measure of the teachings of parents. Yes but, we cannot force everyone to be kind to us and give us a smile every day. Maybe their habits in his house are not like that, maybe their teachings in his house are not like that. 

"Yes he's educated, Bang. Many ways of governing, not by threatening." Nahda folded her lips, she was annoyed by it. 

"Adek is depressed in a threatening way? Don't like the final value threat?" I framed his face. 

Nahda glanced down, then she nodded faintly. 

"Yes, tomorrow is Brother Anter's lecture. Who is the name of the teacher who likes to threaten? Later Abang complained to the head of his lecturer, about how to teach them." It is true, it should not be threatened as well. Maybe it is true that the decision I took, it is not wrong to reprove subtly and politely. Mana tau also, the lecturer is a young lecturer and lecturer who has just become a lecturer. 

Threatened it. It's not good, it's really bad. 

Then, he focused on cleaning the rest of the hair-thinning cream on my calf with wet wipes. 

"No, Deck. Just calm down, right?" I'm the husband of Nahda and I who reprimand the lecturer who has problems in teaching, automatically the lecturer also knows if Nahda is complaining about the problematic lecturer. 

"So who's the name of the teacher?" tanyaku later. 

"Danny, Bani, Martino." 

Ohh, all men. 

"Okay sip, tomorrow leave huh? Later Abang interk. Get him, you're a business man?" I rubbed his head. 

"Ready, Brother." He smiled widely. 

Lecturers at my boro-boro college wanted to threaten or pay attention to one by one students. Believe it or not, they don't care if anyone notices them or not when they teach a lesson in class. Whether who or who is not doing the task, they do not have a problem. After all, who lost his own students. The college at my school was an influx of elite education, the cost was exorbitant. Who wants to lose, but doesn't care about the lessons? 

Students and students there are also very skilled. Even the value of eighty, they asked to be given the opportunity to repeat, in order to get the perfect value. 

Let alone threatening, it seemed like they thought it was wasting their time instead. We students who even pursue them, ask for help to get easier directions. 

Students have nothing to complain about behind as well as Nahda. They complain in the available mading, the clear name of the lecturer who was criticized must have been written there. The lecturer again, they will not be angry, or find out who the perpetrator who gave the criticism, even they will improve the way they teach. 

Outsiders are cute, check the facts at the six o'clock event in Trans7. Indonesian people attention is extraordinary, especially next door neighbors, they are like CCTV. But fortunately we live in Indonesia, feeling the friendly reprimand and attention until the lecturer knows that Nahda does not care about her education and her duties. Lecturer at dear to Nahda, but Nahdanya is not just tame. 

"Isn't the slippery calf yet Brother?" I ducked looking at my own calf. 

"Udah was clean all knee-deep. What effect is it?" Nahda rubbed my calves gently. 

"Cold anyway, the shampoo cake that has a mint sensation is like that. But to check for allergies, you should not immediately use Adek. Wait tomorrow, you have an allergic reaction." I pulled her hand, then helped her to wake up. 

The big back part, getting up was a bit difficult. 

"I cleaned up this used one first huh? Gih Abang to the room first." Nahda picking up old tissue. 

I nodded, bringing my laptop and cell phone into the room. 

Thank God, the next day I was able to convey the complaint of Nahda in a smooth and polite manner. Head lecturer, do not know if the three young lecturers have a way of teaching that is lacking. True to my guess, the lecturer has only taught to this state college for less than a year. The campus apologized, then promised to give back the assessment. 

That's Nahdaku. He sent her a picture of him studying, with a message that made him grin himself. 

He said, [an eagerness to add to the fields].

I am sure he will really learn, I also have to earnestly prepare funds to add fields for various cultivation. Nahda the person cannot be pranked, in such a serious matter. He was willing to try to learn to have the basic science of cultivation, I must not disappoint let alone waste the knowledge and abilities he had obtained. 

[Bang, I've made a list of needs out of Reynal's. Ask for help spending, it's up to you to go shopping who, later on Brother transfer money.] One incoming message came from Brother Jasmine. 

[I have money, brother. Send a list of needs of the same brand as well, Kak.] reply me later. 

I was in the farmhouse. Smoking on the porch, listening to stories from confidants who have been taking care of my farm all this time. 

[Udah, just calm down. Here's the list, the money's already transfer brother.]

My family if there is money must be arrogant, that's what my father taught me. Maybe I'll go shopping with Nahda in the afternoon. 

[Okay, Brother.]

No more replies from Brother Jasmine. I hope he focuses his work and keep his marwah, not again toys men later he loses again. Even though he was my brother and not my brother, I was sad when misfortune approached him. 

"The manure of bang Wildan has stopped, Bang. How good? The stock is running low too." 

I looked at him and looked at his face. Right, I remembered about Hema and her older sister who had been to that heir.

"I'll call someone first? Don't take it from someone else." Counting helps launch a business that changes hands on Hema, so that the economy of Hema and Interest will remain stable. 

"Ready, Bang. Please." He nodded steadily. 

Hopefully Hema is not in a confused condition due to a drug reaction. I immediately contacted him, so that this fertilizer problem is resolved. Thankfully, he was immediately picked up by Hemanya. 

"Ready, Bang. How about it, Bang?" he said directly without 'hallo' or greetings first. 

"Where's it going, Hem?" I glanced at my watch. 

Half past ten in the morning. 

"Bunga left for college, Bang. It's again on the way home again" he replied later. 

"So to the fertilizer house huh? Wanna have a chat." I watched the sky today. 

"Ready, Bang. There's no dad there, Bang?"

I told him to come here, so it would be nice to have a clearer conversation. 

"No, this morning I went to the wooden shed here. Why that?" tanyaku later. 

"Dad promised to go to Bekasi, would give instructions. There's a confidant of dad's there, but I don't know anything." 

"Later night to dad, there must be usually. Abis Isya is there, Hem," I said later. 

"OK ready, Bang." 

Soon after, Hema came and we started talking about fertilizer. Hema contacted the father's confidant who was given the handle to take care of Hema's business, because Hema said she did not know how to order goods with this far marketing.

Ehh turns out, even Uncle Gavin and the other brother also turned out to be a fertilizer order from the legacy business that Hema can. The problem is solved, because the delivery of fertilizer will be sent from there immediately. 

Not here there is no selling fertilizer. But if it can help people's own efforts, yes we will try first to establish permanent cooperation. Yeah, like with Hema like this. 

"Bang, Nahda's sister-in-law is home, isn't she? Ask for please prepare the goods for shipment, later the money I transfer. Flowers are real, but I want a surprise. He did not interfere and did not know, uh suddenly his goods needs on the banks there are all," said Hema after the discussion ended. 

Wow coincidentally, their tastes are hot-hot too. Types of shothot, surely Nahda understands the taste of clothes delivery or other items for Flowers.
