Lots of people and complicated relationships…the story of my Indonesian family life. So my official “guardians” are Pak Sul and Bu Sul, but I don’t live with them. I live in the house next door (which is actually just an extension of their house split down the middle) with Bu Sul’s late brother’s wife and her family. Bu Sul and Pak Sul rent out rooms in their house to a few students—Anisa, her sister Renita, Maya, Via, and Rina—who attend my school.
In my house are Bu Romlah (Bu Sul’s sister-in-law), her 7-year-old son Ilul, her 20-year-old daughter Alisa, and her daughter’s 23-year-old husband Budi. Bu Romlah’s husband passed away a few years ago of either a stroke or stomach complications (from what I could understand). So a few weeks ago, Bu Romlah got married to her 2nd husband, Pak Sam… and my family expanded even more, but no one except Pak Sam lives with us so I’m not going to confuse you with more people you won’t remember.
