ATIQA
Chapter 81: Mitoni/Kingkumpan

Atiqah pregnancy has entered the 7th month. The preparation of the 7-monthly event has been completed entirely by the Event Organizer team. The event was held in the courtyard of the residence of Subroto.

Not many invited guests, Subroto deliberately do it because it keeps the Atiqah feeling. Subroto knew how his extended family behaved towards the Atiqah. The daughter-in-law's granddaughter who got a lot of gifts from her. They are jealous and envious.

Atiqah wears a green kebaya shirt complete with a barricade. Ardi has also used a set of colored clothing in line with Atiqah.

Asri, Bondan and Robi were also present there. All three up until last night with Ardi. Sigit and Anne suddenly arrived this morning. Although they both did not talk much and kept their distance from the besan.

"My wife is so beautiful" Ardi hugged Atiqah from behind facing the makeup mirror. Atiqah has just been finished in the dress up by the famous perias du Yogyakarta.

"Then?- smiling while following Ardi's palm caressing her belly-My husband is also handsome," Atiqah rubbed Ardi's cheek.

"If it had been Yang, then" Ardi boasted, and they laughed together.

The sound of knocking on the door sounded. Ardi let go of his embrace, walking towards the door.

"What's wrong mom?" ardi asked his father-in-law. Asri knocked on the door.

"Had awaited. You're ready, right?" ask Asri.

"It's mom, '" Ardi nodded, opening the door wide. Atiqah was seen walking closer.

"Mba is ready, ma'am" said Atiqah then took his mother. Ardi walked on the right side, embracing the waist of the Atiqah. Ardi is very protective.

Event after event runs in sequence according to the event rundown that the EO team creates.

The first time we started with Sungkeman.

Ardi leads Atiqah to do a sungkeman event to his grandfather Subroto and then turn to his parents and finally to his in-laws.

Sungkeman aims to ask prayers for the smooth delivery later.

Then it goes to the Siraman event.

A shower or shower is a symbol of the ceremony as a sign of self-cleaning, both physical and soul. This symbolic cleansing aims to free the future mother from sins so that if the future mother gives birth to children, she has no moral burden until the birth process becomes smooth.

Ardi slowly flushed his wife's body from the top of his head to his feet. Atiqah sat with a band of kemben and there was a series of jasmine that covered his chest.

Subroto, Bondan, Asri, Sigit and Anne had already done so.

After the flush, Ardi performed the egg breaking ceremony. 1 chicken egg that was previously attached to the forehead and stomach of Atiqah and then slammed into the floor. The egg must be broken, as a symbol of the labor process later can run smoothly without transverse aral.

Ardi follows all the directions of the ritual leader, Supadmi's mother.

The next ritual is Brojolan is to include young ivory coconut (grill coconut) that has been painted by Kamajaya and Dewi Ratih. Atiqah is worn sarong (loose only). The edges of the sarong, to keep it loose, are held by Sigit and Bondan's two would-be grandfathers, on the left and right, respectively. Then Ardi put one of the coconut cloves from above, and ready to be received by Asri.

This was done 3 times in a row. After that, it was followed by the same process as the second coconut clove, and was accepted by Anne.

Then disconnect the lawe/thread winding/fine.

This ritual includes the scene of breaking the wind/lawe looped in the stomach of Atiqah. Janur/lawe can be replaced with coconut or janur leaves. This circumference must be broken by Ardi with the intention that the birth of the baby is smooth.

Furthermore, Pammi helped Asri change Atiqah clothes. The dressing ceremony was conducted by the mother with seven types of batik cloth with different motifs, in the form of changing cloth and kebaya. Cain in seven motifs represents the good that is expected for the mother who is seven months pregnant and for the child when he is born.

The fabric used there are 7 kinds, starting with the sequence and meaning as follows :

Sidomukti (symbolizing happiness)

Sidoluhur (symbolizes glory)

Semen rama (symbolizes that the love of both parents who soon become fathers will last forever/not be divorced)

Udan riris (symbolizes the hope that the presence in the society of the child to be born is always pleasant)

Chicken claws (symbolizing that the child who will be born later can be independent in meeting the needs of his life).

The last fabric that shuffled is the fabric of a lasem patterned striated material (symbolizing a fabric that although simple but difficult to manufacture, requires patience because it is made from sheets per sheet of yarn. Symbolizes the simplicity of a parent's love for his or her child).

After changing clothes, the next event is selling dawet and rujakan. Where the sense of speech made by the future mother, also determines the sex of the baby to be born.

Rujak which is a shaved rujak is also made from 7 kinds of fruits. Prospective mothers who mix their own spices. Symbolizing when it tastes bad, his son is a man. And vice versa if it tastes good, her son is a girl.

Ardi took Atiqah to the place where the rujak would be made.

"Can you rub the roof?" whispered Ardi.

"Can. You think I haven't helped you in the kitchen?" touch Atiqah with a slightly loud tone. Ardi grimaced showing off his teeth while rubbing both Atiqah shoulders.

"Yes, yes I believe. I helped you get in the ingredients, huh?" Ardi picked up five chili according to Atiqah's wishes.

"Try you a chip," Atiqah gave a small spoon to Ardi to try the finished spice.

Ardi received the spoon and tasted it a little. "What a weirdo? feel less what is it -- knitting both eyebrows- Means male?" ask Ardi on Paddy's mom who is standing to the right of Atiqah.

"Remember, leres mas (Yes, right mas)," Paddy replied while nodding. Ardi and Atiqah smiled. Several times the results of the USG show the gender of their prospective child is male.

Ardi brought an umbrella to protect the Atiqah while selling, while Atiqah brought a container to accommodate the money from the sale later. This time they used real paper money. Usually in this event use coins made of clay called crew.

Ardi receives the money from the buyer to put in the container and Atiqah serves the buyers.

And at the top of the event Ardi did a tumpeng cutting session. Tumpeng contains tumpeng made of rice, one large tumpeng in the middle and 6 small tumpeng around it. So that the total amounted to 7 tumpeng. 

Tumpeng is minimally equipped with: fish, chicken (including fried chicken cut from live chicken. Chicken purchased alive), parchment, tofu and tempeh and vegetable anointing which means that the baby candidate is always fresh. Urap is also made without chili.

The tumpeng cut was done by Ardi and received by Atiqah. Then the two performed a bribery ceremony.

In addition, there are also 7 forms of porridge. Red porridge and white porridge are made in 2 containers. One porridge is red and given a little white porridge in the middle, and vice versa. It symbolizes the seed of the man and woman who are united in the form of the baby to be born. At this mitoni ceremony, porridge 7 lika is equipped with candil porridge, sum-sum porridge, black glutinous porridge and others.

That day all went well. Although tired, Atiqah was so happy. He felt a lot of love for him and also the prospective child in his womb.
