"Lajeng urang ayeuna ka salajengna nyaeta event siraman. Mango mother and father of apit kenca kattuhu na neng Nayuwan, sarenggan urang katampian place where neng Nayuwan bade watered." (Continue now to the next event that is the flush event. Please dsn father accompanied his right left neng Nayuwan, together we to the bath, the bathhouse, the place where the neng Nayuwan will be watered) In the session of taking photos of the family kidungpun back bouncing but now with the strains of solawat that make the sanubari warm to be able to make a dark look on their faces as if it disappears with a more radiant face with a smile that glares them on their lips.

Najuwan is now sitting in a chair that is provided for his flush by wearing jasmine ronce for the flush that wraps it. It appears that Vina's mother and Hidayat sir are pouring water from 7 springs into a bokor that there is already water with a sprinkling of flowers.

"Mangga cai na mixed keun hela,"(Please mix the water first) then Vina's mother mix the water in a large vessel with 7 other springs following by adding the flowers back into it.

"Mangga bismilbornrahmanirrahim heula terrace siramkeun ti dew-dew-dewana neng Nayuwan, to ku neng Nayuwan cai na diampanananan anu bari ngadua ka Gusti, ala barokah na geulis" (Please, bismilbornrahmanirrahim first, anu bari, then pour from the crown neng Nayuwan, later by neng Nyuwan will be received with a hand while praying to Gusti, take the blessings of beauty) Mother Vina began to wateramin Nyuwan slowly from the head to the rest of her body, then by the father, then her sister and other families up to 7 families.

"teras kin kaus kausos 7 siraman sapalih cai na bade dibantun ku neng Clara sareng caroge anu jalaran tos aya anu neang ti sisi pameget, anu bade ngalaksanakeun oge flush event, oge, ieu cai saurna bade dihijikeun, anu ngandung harti yen neng Nayuwan and cep Gavin bade moal tiasa disahkeun deui" (Then after 7 water flush some of the water will be brought by Neng Clara and husband, which already there is a pick-up from the groom. Who will also carry out the flush event, according to what is conveyed this water will be united. Which means to contain the meaning that Neng Nayuwan and Cep Gavin will not be separated again) The family of Najuwan one by one watering Nayuwan with a cleft face. Clara was already standing with a pitcher that she would take to the Sheratton hotel where Gavin's watering would take place.

Accompanied by the sunda distilled lute and the slow chanting of solwatan Ibu Vina filled the pitcher to the brim with water from the flush water vessel of Nayuwan. Then symbolically Eveline and her husband received the water to be taken to Sheraton where the show flush Gavin will take place after dzuhur. But later Clara and her husband must still join to participate in the event Siraman Gavin as a representative of the Nyuwan family.

Because Nayuwan hijab then do not need to continue with the procession Ngeningan, which removes all the fine hairs on the face, nudge, form fishy cau or sinom, making a godeg and making a flower spines is enough to just cut a little hair as symbolic. Then next Nayuwan is welcome to abode with water in a jug that is poured by Mr. Hidayat which means that Nyayuwan never forget worship under any conditions. After completion of Nyuwan then on the side or rag batik as many as seven sheets are expected in everyday Nyuwan later given patience, trustworthiness, health, fortitude, firmness, determination, strong faith and always practice religion. By wearing a bathdrobe that is quite thick.

Then the next session was to throw jasmine clothes that he had been wearing following with decorations on his head. In this session, of course, there is a fun part and of course it is chaotic. Najuwan then threw the former jasmine he had worn to the mothers present there. Ala-ala flower bouquet melting. Imagine how barren the mothers are until there is a veil loose!( hahahaha author is not evil right yes his name is also so exciting 😆) Kias myth they are quickly given a ghost.

The title is not only ronce jasmine, but also there are sweet potatoes, cassava, nuts and taro provided. This session has meaning for the bride-to-be launched her provision, pennant, and always think positive when getting into trouble. Although the author does not understand what correlation with the name of the sweet potato is equally positive thinking but yaudah ya hahaha his name is also a customs😁

Nayuwan seemed to shiver a little because of his wet clothes, then Nayuwan is welcome to change clothes with a dry one.And this session is the most memorable session because when entering the room Nyuwan had to be carried by his father first even though it was a bit old-fashioned father but at a glance Nayuwan again remembered sweet memories of his childhood with his father.

After ready Nyuwan and the family returned to the next event of cutting the tumpeng then Vina's mother and Hidayat's father fed Nyuwan in turns.

The day was even though emotionally draining, because a lot of crying and then ended with laughter, felt quite long even though only from 7.30 to 11 hours. But all the feelings were spilled and relieved. Nayuwan was also very grateful because for the first time the whole family and relatives were almost all present. This event really became the meeting of relatives.

Nayuwan is very grateful to Ririn's mother as well as all the vendors who have been very cooperative for the study and watering event, so that the show smoothly without obstacles. Alhamdulillahot.
