Andre and Nadia decided to take an afternoon walk with their three children around the residential complex where she lived. Some people who live there are also seen gathering in a playground area. Not only small children but adults are also many, especially mothers and caregivers. Nadia and Andre sat not far from the group of mothers while their three children had run to play in the rides provided.
"Eh... Jeng, look at that newlywed couple who got married yesterday. Kok has not been acquainted with us - we are his wife, but had been waiting for a cake or something like that as a greeting introduction" said one of the mothers began to gossip the arrival of Nadia.
"Where does he know that here the tradition is so, jeng. Every immigrant who lives here should greet the introduction to the neighbors. She is a village she said" other mothers timpal.
Nadia and Andre heard the gossip that the neighbors threw at him. Nadia already knew about having to give greetings when she became a resident in the housing. But what power Nadia who has just two days to live with her husband must be faced with the test of her two children entering the hospital. He had not had time to buy anything, especially yesterday just arrived home and immediately rested.
Andre who wanted to reprimand the mothers immediately stopped his movement because Naia was holding her palm tightly. Nadia stroked her husband's arm to neutralize his emotions because of the julid's neighbor. Andre was already snorting annoyed even his chest was going up and down because of his emotions. He did not accept his wife being so insinuated.
"Let's go first, if they've gone too far let me go forward" whispered Nadia right in the ear of her husband.
Andre just nodded his head following the orders of his wife. He again secured his sitting position while watching his three children who were playing with his cherry. The laughter and smiles of the three made Andre's heart calmer.
Some mothers still glanced cynically at Nadia who was sitting quietly on the playground chair. There are about eight mothers living in the housing which is now in the playground area. While the caregivers are near the children they care for them.
"The same married man as a rich widower lived in the city. Yes, that is, tacky. Moreover, she is not a former nanny of her children Andre yes, oh do-don't her father marry her so that she can be used as a maid in her home. It is quite free" said the mothers named Bu Ninda with a spicy.
"Yes, let it be yes, you are too meddling in people's affairs. He wants to give us the wrong introduction we received, if not yes papa" said Bu Arum who is famous for being wise in the complex environment.
"How is this Bu Arum? This is already commonly done by new citizens, if not rich so we can not know between each other" said Bu Ninda then embraced by his other friends.
Nadia had clenched her hands together because she was offended by the words of the mothers. Andre also looked at his wife who was now in the midst of emotions hearing the painful speech.
"You have to believe that I'm not like that. I married you because I love you, even though I fell in love with the way you took care of my children" Andre whispered.
Nadia nodded her head in a sign that she believed in her husband. It even seems that Andre is afraid if his wife believes in the words of the mothers. Nadia immediately stood up from her seat and walked away leaving her confused husband. Nadia stepped her feet towards the mothers who were still rubbing herself.
Instantly, the mothers there were partly directly staring at Nadia with a cynical look. While Bu Arum who is still sane chose to smile to welcome the presence of Nadia. Nadia was sitting next to Bu Arum but for a few minutes there, Andre's wife looked at all her wonder because the mothers who had been gossiping now fell silent.
"Before I got here, you were busy with the words that were gossiping to me. How is it that after I'm here, you guys shut up? Not that it would be better if gossiping someone in front of him directly yes" said Nadia quipped.
"This is yes mothers, I respond to your words earlier about me who have not given greetings introductions which he said is a tradition in this complex as a new citizen. If indeed with greetings introductions it can make life between its citizens get along well and help if there is trouble, then, then yesterday Abel and Arnold's granddaughter Mama Anisa went to the hospital the day after we got married did anyone know? As far as I know the neighbor's life is if there is a sick we just look or just ask, if someone dies we help prepare and others. Even me and the kids just got home yesterday afternoon from the hospital" he continued with the circus.
Nadia's words really hit the hearts of mothers who had been julid on her. Moreover, they have never cared for neighbors. Whether they are in trouble or sick, the most important thing for them is greetings.
"If you only love greetings and then every day do not want to know or help between neighbors, what for? Actually I want to give greetings tomorrow as well as I go shopping for home needs, but after hearing what you say makes me rethink. I ask for help for you guys, have a mouth guarded fear later most julid even his lips so tilted" he continued.
Nadia immediately passed from before the mothers after giving a long lecture. While all of them were silent except for Bu Arum who displayed his satisfied smile because he saw Nadia dare to fight Bu Ninda. Finally after Nadia left, the crowd of mothers suddenly silent even they look busy themselves with their respective phones.
"You're great baby" whispered Andre after Nadia sat next to him back.
"Yes dong, Andre's wife is that loh" said Nadia proudly.
Andre just laughed seeing Nadia boast of herself. Really he was lucky to get a wife who was able to melt the atmosphere at a time when stress struck. Andre glanced at the glance of his watch because it did not feel the sun was already on the western horizon.
"Arnold, Abel, Anara... Let's go home" exclaimed Andre.
The three children immediately stopped the play. They immediately ran towards their parents and held their hands together. The five of them walked over with each other holding hands while smiling happily. But suddenly...
"Revelation...."
