Aksara For Arsyilla
The Charm of Prambanan Temple

The next day, the family rented a car that they would use to surround the beautiful tourist attractions in the city of Jogjakarta. In addition, there are Aksara and Arsyilla who enjoy a vacation together before the age of pregnancy Arsyilla growing up later.

"Where are we now?" arsyilla asked her big family.

"To Prambanan Temple," replied Papa Radit quickly.

Hearing the name Prambanan Temple apparently makes Arsyilla so happy. For Arsyilla is the romantic side that is visible from the magnificent stone building. The temple is not just a rubble and pile of stones, but the beauty of the building is worth the history that must be admired.

"Wah, his art Pa," said Arsyilla who claimed to be happy because this time he visited Prambanan Temple with his family. There is Mama Khaira, Papa Radit, Mother Kanaya, Father of Bhishma, and also her husband who certainly makes babymoon that is like a family trip looks vibrant.

If Arsyilla knew that Prambanan Temple became a beautiful and historic place for Mama Khaira and Papa Radit. Decades ago, when Mama Khaira was pregnant with Arsyilla, Mama Khaira also visited the grandest Hindu Temple in Southeast Asia with Papa Radit. Even then, Mama Khaira and Papa Radit had the opportunity to see the Ramayana Sendratari show that tells the struggle of Rama against Ravana and help Sinta who was at that time held captive to Alengka.

Two lovebirds who at that time was lulled with the play Ramayana, a magnificent setting with the background of Prambanan Temple, and round after chapter of the Ramayana Sendratari story that is so epic. Mama Khaira and Papa Radit feel how happy they are to reminisce with their memories of youth.

"Later to go there, Honey," said Aksara who was driving a car towards Sleman bordering Klaten, Central Java where Prambanan Temple stands so majestically.

Once he reached the entrance of Prambanan Temple, Papa Radit immediately took out his wallet and bought tickets for his family troupe. However, the characters immediately prevented it.

"Let's get the script, Pa," he said.

"Let Papa alone, Aksa," said Papa Radit.

"But, Pa," said Aksara. Honestly, he feels bad.

Aksara felt that he had worked and had money. If just to buy a ticket to enter Prambanan Temple for Rp. 50,000,- alone he's capable.

"Let Papa alone. Come on, take Syilla and the others in" Papa Radit said.

Looking at Papa Radit who was adamant, Aksara nodded his head. The man then brought Arsyilla and the family to enter Prambanan Temple. Once inside, they are greeted with a beautiful garden with Prambanan Temple building that stands so majestically.

"Well, very beautiful," said Arsyilla who seemed fascinated with the splendor of the temple relics of the Ancient Mataram Kingdom.

"Like it, Honey?" ask Aksara to his wife.

"Like, Brother .. really like it. For me this is beautiful" replied Arsyilla while continuing to walk with her husband and parents and in-laws.

"What makes this beautiful? The construction?" ask Aksara.

"Yes, the construction is beautiful. Only the bayu are laid out in such a way, beautifully sculpted. Even in the past the people of Nusantara have developed their culture," Arsyilla replied.

"For Honey. The sculpture here is beautiful. It can even make the story in the stone carvings very cool," replied Aksara.

This time Aksara and Arsyilla were seen walking together, while his parents were seen sitting on chairs that were provided in the temple courtyard. Fortunately that afternoon, the sun was not so hot, so Arsyilla was not so hot when it had to surround Prambanan Temple.

“Pengen ascended to Shiva Temple, Kak .. just look at the steps. Afraid of the descent,” said Arsyilla while pointing to the parent temple and the largest in the Prambanan Temple complex.

Indeed in the courtyard of Prambanan Temple stands three main temples namely Shiva Temple, Vishnu Temple, and Brahma Temple. In front of him stood the temple guardianship in which contains the statue mounts the three main gods. Want to enter the Shiva Temple and see the statue of Durga inside the temple. However, Arsyilla was quite afraid to go down the stairs made of steep-looking stones.

“Here alone, Honey .. You are just pregnant because,” said Aksara.

“Iya .. view from here only,” reply Arsyilla.

“If this can be arranged again, it must be very beautiful Kak,” said Arsyilla.

“Iya .. This is what made the Dutch Colonial Government first, Honey. It takes experts to reunite this stone after stone until it can stand majestically,” Aksara reply.

At a time when Aksara and Arsyilla are fascinated with the magnificent and epic Prambanan Temple, on the other hand there are Mama Khaira and Papa Radit who are chatting together.

“Considering the past huh Pa?” mama Khaira asked her husband.

Papa Radit smiled and looked at the face of his wife who was still so beautiful in his eyes. “Iya .. when you were pregnant Syilla. We were here together and we saw the Ramayana Sendratari. It was a really new night to arrive at the hotel,” reply Papa Radit.

“Considering it yes Pa,” Reply Mama Khaira again.

“Remember dong Mama .. The years of our marriage are indeed long. However, I always remember the precious moments in our lives. Remember my words, that every moment of my life is you,” Papa Radit said solemnly.

Mama Khaira's heart became so warm to hear her husband's words. Not thinking that Papa Radit remembered all the moments they had shared. Being loved this much by her own husband, who had already spent half of her life together made Mama Khaira so happy.

“We are aging, Pa .. but this temple still stands so majestically.” Mama Khaira spoke while looking at the temple courtyard that is so beautiful.

“No problem, everything under this sun will indeed be eaten time. My love for my mother remains the same. My desire to age with Mama has been granted by God,” Papa Radit replied.

Smile at the corner of Mama Khaira's lips. The woman moved her hand and held her husband's hand.

“True Papa .. Mama also wants to age along with Papa. Your prayers and hopes have been granted by God. Half my age I even spent with Papa. Papa witnessed how I aged all this time,” said Mama Khaira.

“Now our prayers are that we can be healthy and can take care of our grandchildren, Ma. Being Eyang for his son Syilla and Aksara. Time felt so fast, I held her, held her, held her, drove her to school, and now my little daughter was going to be a mother. We will be Eyang,” said Papa Radit at length.

“True Pa... Mama will also be Eyang,” reply with a tickled chuckle.

“Ethe Beautiful,” Reply Papa Radit.

It's not just temptation. But in the eyes of Papa Radit, his wife was the most beautiful and gentle woman he had ever met. A faithful woman accompanies him in the ups and downs of his life.

“Papa could have,” says Mama Khaira.

“Seriously, Papa is always serious talk Ma... as serious as Papa loves Mama,” he said.

From the relationship of Mama Khaira and Papa Radit it appears that age is just a number. What is certain is that the romance and harmony of the middle-aged couple remains warm. Looks like a young couple who still love each other.

“Hopefully, Shaka also gets his soul mate. So that our happiness is more complete,” said Mama Khaira.

“Let Shaka find his own love, who knows when Shaka will find the right match for him," Papa Radit told his wife.

Indeed reflecting on his own experience in the past, making Papa Radit judge that it is better if children will find a mate and companion in his own way. Same with Arsyilla who invented Aksara. Beyond all the problems that occurred at the beginning of their marriage, but Papa Radit is very sure that Aksara is a matching couple for his daughter.

With the backdrop of Prambanan Temple that is so magnificent. Mama Khaira and Papa Radit also tell a lot of their stories. Memories in the youth are beautiful, and now age is not an obstacle for both to maintain the romance and warmth of the household.

Arsyilla who from far away saw Mama and Papa was smiling. That kind of love and relationship she wanted from her husband. Love that keeps burning, regardless of age. A love that keeps warm, regardless of differences.
