Beauty is a Wound
“Crowds of villagers attend ceremony after ceremony for weeks on end and the golden janur kuning poles marking the houses holding wedding parties stick out of fences at almost every single intersection, arching over the street to dangle their festive decorations. Meanwhile, those men who aren’t married yet go off to the whorehouse, lovers meet more often to get it on in secret, long-married couples seem to relive their honeymoons in the months of the rainy season, and God creates many tiny littl...e embryos.Even during the massacre of the communists, people still made love whenever they had the chance, especially during the heavier downpours. But this kind of thing, at least for the moment, was not happening with Shodancho and Alamanda. Nor was it happening with Maman Gendeng and Maya Dewi, who were still acting out the same drama they’d been acting out ever since their wedding night almost five years ago.But one thing was making Maman Gendeng very happy: he now had what could be called a home, something he’d long dreamed about, ever since he first fell in love with Nasiah and saw the girl’s glowing love for her sweetheart.MoreLess
