Married to a Grave
Chapter 9

Sakinah's grandmother was angry with Elizabeth, because she had been disrespectful to her. Only this time did he find someone so bold against him.

It turned out that there was a neighbor who listened to the commotion in the house of Eyang Margo, the person immediately reported to the village head who was none other than Granny Sakinah herself.

The village chief rushed to the house of Eyang Margo, to stop the commotion his grandmother had made. Although the grandmother herself as the head of the village, Taufan must be fair to all villagers. There is no term to defend your own family, let alone family members that are wrong.

Typhoon said softly to his grandmother, to go home. Given her grandmother's unstable health condition, Typhoon had to be a little pushy. Because Granny Sakinah if you already have a desire that is difficult to prevent, anything must be done.

"Taufan, forgive Eyang's grandson. All this is wrong, Eyang can not educate Sumi well," said Eyang Margo so that this problem does not have long-term consequences.

"Well, we're not wrong. It was obvious that the old granny had come without excuse, having no manners. How will Eliza respect him, if not given a good example" Elizabet said.

"Shut up!" snapped Granny Sakinah.

Typhoon scratched his head that did not itch, he had already guessed his grandmother did as she pleased at people's homes. Without saying much, he immediately took Granny Sakinah's hand to invite her home.

Sakinah's grandmother did not want to go home before Elizabeth apologized, and rested at her feet. As the elder of this village, he asked everyone to be able to respect and accept whatever his decision was.

"Mbok, please don't be like this. Sumi has not known Si Mbok, so please understand," said Taufan clasping his grandmother's wrinkled hand.

Sakinah's grandmother turned her face away, she remained in her stance. Elizabeth had to apologize, forcibly or not.

Elizabet did not care even though Eyang Margo had persuaded, he actually said to sleep here also should not be persuaded home. He was very brave to say all that, for the sake of defending himself and Eyang Margo.

"Sumi, it looks like I should have a one-on-one talk with you," said the village chief.

The two of them then spoke outside the house, asking that Elizabeth obey Grandma Sakinah's orders. Elizabeth, however, would not comply with Typhoon's request.

"This concerns our self-esteem, as the village head you should be able to protect the community. Not because it's your grandmother, keep telling people to follow her will" Elizabet said with a sense of regret.

"Grandmother is sick, do you have to be rude to parents," said the village chief.

"What about your grandmother's treatment of Eyang? I, as his grandson, did not accept it" said Elizabet, leaving the Typhoon still in place.

Elizabeth went straight into the house, and took her grandmother into the woods. When they were about to leave, Sakinah's grandmother said that she would wait for them to come home. The words of Grandma Sakinah they did not ignore, they immediately set out to find firewood to the forest.

Typhoon is still trying to persuade Granny Sakinah to be invited home, she feels bad with other residents. Her grandmother's behavior is shameful, honorary crazy.

"Bok, later we can be mistaken for a thief. Let's go home" said Typhoon.

"No! just go home alone, my business with Margo and her granddaughter is not finished" said Grandma Sakinah. It could be that having a grandchild does not have the courtesy," he continued.

Ningsih suddenly came to Eyang Margo's house, he brought a bushel of vegetables that he had just finished making. Every cooking in large quantities, Ningsih always brought for Eyang Margo.

"Turfan, this kind of girl is what Grandma wants. Not like Margo's grandson who has no manners" said Granny Sakinah.

"Mbok, please don't talk about that anymore. Sumi can be polite with Mbok," said Taufan.

"So you're now defending that girl! you poor grandson," said Granny Sakinah.

"What's up? how even to be like this," said Ningsih confusion.

Sakinah's grandmother explained to Ningsih what had happened and told her about Elizabeth. He said that if Eyang Margo can not take care of grandchildren, of course Ningsih became doubtful with Grandma Sakinah's words.

Ningsih himself was confused who to defend who, if defending Elizabeth was afraid not to be sanctioned by Granny Sakinah. "Sir, Eyang Margo's grandson is good. The proof is that he wants to be friends with me" he said.

"Sir, don't get too close to the boy! fear of contagion does not have manners," said Granny Sakinah.

Typhoon asks Ningsih to persuade Granny Sakinah to come home, but Ningsih asks Typhoon for a reward. If he manages to bring Sakinah's grandmother home, Taufan must take her to watch a show in the neighboring village tomorrow night. What can be done, for the sake of peace Eyang Margo and Elizabet terms of Ningsih he fulfilled.

"Sir, we go home yuk. Ningsih wants to eat the fruit in front of grandma's house," said Ningsih.

Sakinah's grandmother refused Ningsih's invitation, she kept waiting for Elizabeth and Eyang Margo to return home. Ningsih had an idea, he told the kindness of Eyang Margo and Elizabeth. He did not care about Grandma who seemed like she did not like it, Ningsih continued to tell stories to make Grandmother melt by herself.

With such a happy mood, Ningsih wanted to drive Grandma home. Finally tomorrow night he can go watch, with the village chief. They went to Grandma Sakinah's house, on foot. Typhoon walked behind them, until he reached his house.

It just so happened that Typhoon's parents were at home, they thanked Ningsih a lot and welcomed Ningsih well.

"That girl is a perfect match for the Typhoon, sir," said the Typhoon Mother who peeked out from behind the curtains as Ningsih and Granny Sakinah sat together.

"Taufan certainly does not like, his taste is a city girl, not a village girl like Ningsih," said his father Taufan.

The two parents actually did not mind who the match of Hurricane will be, which is important for them Typhoon happy and do not live in suffering like they used to. Married without parental blessing, because Typhoon's grandmother was so picky.

Sakinah's grandmother asks Ningsih to deliver back to the house of Eyang Margo, arguing that their problems have not been resolved. Ningsih could not resist, but Typhoon signaled that Ningsih would refuse his Grandmother's request.

"Mbok, I want to take Ningsih to the village vegetable garden.

"No way, Hurricane! you have to set out on your own" Grandma Sakinah said so stubbornly.

Ningsih tried hard to reject Grandma Sakinah's request, he said that Elizabeth and Eyang Margo had not returned home. "Sir, usually they stay if they are looking for firewood," he said.

Sakinah's grandmother did not believe, she wanted to go alone to the house of Eyang Margo to make sure she had returned home or not.
