My mother....her nama is Jikuis Kutai @ Manjal. Uiinah!...surname dia Kutai lagi meh....mcm tu org putih punya style....eeh dalam IC dia pun begitu tu tau....well she was born in Nountun 81 years ago.. and still going strong.....During her younger days...well, mcm biasa la tolong her parents di sawah padi, ambil kayu and so forth. She got married when she was 16 years old....kena match make.....but actually, she told me memang my dad suka dia, but she? not sure.
And she also say, my dad good looking juga, rajin kerja tapi ada pengurat sikit la hehehe ( man are man)...om he selalu di kampung durang.. pada hal dia dari Nosoob...gansawon hehehe...Kamu tau kenapa dia kawin awal....cos it was during WW2, so takut tu Jepun akan tangkap durang and jadi kan gundik durang. So kalau yang sudah kawin, endah kena kacau la....so waktu tu, ramai kunun orang kawin.....after 4 years of marriage baru dia ada anak. And in between kami semua adik beradik - the gap is 4 years each... pandai planning juga dia kan.....
Of course during the years...memang banyak yang ups and down juga kutai's family ni. But, my mother memang orang nya rajin sangat. I remember when I was small, dia awal lagi sudah pegi potong getah ( alone lagi tu).....lepas potong getah, dia akan kasih makan ternakan dia. Banyak ternakan dia tu...ada babi, ada ayam, angsa, patiu, itik. Wah! I love to see the itik-itik...banyak tu...esp tu anak-anak dia punya la kiut.....om tu Angsa...Patiu pula pandai terbang mcm burung.
Burung asang pun ada juga kami dulu-dulu. Bila sampai masa mau potong babi, nah! waktu tu la kami dapat makan daging....
Sawah padi pun besar waktu tu....enda pernah kami kehabisan beras. I can see that my mother is a very strong woman, and she can work independently...Tapi sia kasihan juga tengok dia...cos my father enda pernah tolong dia di sawah padi....sebelum ada anak..., my father rajin juga tolong dia...but after he got an accident ( kaki dia patah)....dari sana, he could not help her already.....but he does work juga. He is a barber...Boleh tahan juga bah guntingan dia...
To make it short...I can say my mother is strong will person, knowledgeable in everything ( walaupun dia enda berapa pandai baca), good in money saver..... garang ( yes, dulu dulu la)..... sarcastic ( one need to know her better, baru tau perangai dia)....sometime she is friendly, at times she is not....sometimes she is generous......, and at times she is kedekut...... Sometime she is sweet but sometimes......, she can kill your heart ( don't play play).....her words is sharper then the knife hehehe....but above all, she is still my mother and I love her.
