Whilst in Kelantan, we were forced by my in-laws to attend a Malay Kenduri in the blazing heat so off we squeezed into Kong-Kong’s old Volkswagon Beetle with sighs and slouched shoulders, off to a wedding whom we had no idea who was who. The moment we arrived, straight backs ascended and the tips of our mouths turned north, on both sides.
I’ve not been to many kenduris in my life but this one in Kelantan had no cutlery, which was fine for an expert like me, but not for the posh Hubs. So they had to specially go find him some cutlery *hides in shame* – Ni kan budak Kelante ni!
Despite being in kampung town Kelantan, the women in their glittery baju kurungs were carrying Prada and Gucci, even Loubie heels, OK??? I was wondering, were they really from KL and just visiting??? Everyone spoke Malay and everyone ate with their hands. There were little water stations where you could wash your hands with and soap provided.
Then suddenly one Datuk came up to our table to ask when we were going to have our next child. *gulp* I bravely smiled and shook my head, hands up in the air and said, “No more!! No! No!! No!!!” Why put false hope with my in-laws, right?
Then the Datuk looked at the Hubs and said, “It’s very simple. Just ask your parents for a few million and you will get them a grandson!”
Did you feel my awkward moment?
Suddenly there was laughter all around and I could feel my in-laws daggering the Datuk, don’t put such ideas into their heads, but the Datuk continued, “It’s true! We have a mutual friend. He told his parents, give me a million and I will get you a grandson. And he got one! He got his million too! Try it!”
At that point I was asking the ground to just swallow me.
More laughter (and silence) ensued and the Datuk left to greet other guests…….
We don’t need such drama. See? T2 is just happy to cross the bridge backward and forward at the Kenduri. I couldn’t be happier with my two girls. I don’t need a son and I certainly don’t even need a million.
