Old stories about bakdes

Bakti desa, or in English we could say it as devotion for Village is an annual event held by 3 senior highschool. Bakdes in an obligatory event for the 11th grade.

Our bakdes is located in Desa Kertasari, a small village in Kabupaten Bandung. Kertasari is an farmer village, since there are a lot of field.

Me and my group, Roro, Zika, and Fira, stayed with Ms and Mrs Pudin.
Ms and Mrs Pudin lived in a small house with 4 main room, that divided into 2 bedroom, 1 living room, and the kitchen.
I love their kitchen, it was a small semi modern kitchen with a small fireplace. Every morning, Mr and Mrs Pudin sat in front of the fireplace to warm up their body.

Both of them are retired, they lived by the money that their child sent to them. they have 7 child that lived around the village. Mr Pudin used to be the head of the neighborhood. And after he's retired, his son is the head of the neigborhood.

Mrs pudin can't talks Indonesian, so there were a language gap between us. I used malay as my mother tounge, thats why I can't understand sundanesse.

The interesting one is, they don't drinks water, they drinks warm tea everyday. There was always a pot of tea at the table.
Also, Mrs pudin cooking were very delicious. Roro and me love her fried potato so much.

Sadly, every night, we always heard Mr pudin cought oftenly. We sure that he's coughing oftenly because he smokes cigarrate.

Mrs Pudin who's cant talk Indonesian and Mr pudin who's sick because cigarrate make me think that education in their village was very lack. I promised to myself to study hard, so I can help them.
