Chasing Love One Night
Batik Village Giriloyo

Intentions to Yogyakarta want to learn more about batik. But in fact it has been almost a week, Tania stayed in the city of gudeg. He had not been able to go to the village of Giriloyo batik.

Though the place is still a sub-district with Andri's residence. Tania's days were busy with her seemingly endless office work.

He complained to Jayden. When he called his girlfriend.

"Look at me this way I'll just work" Tania said.

"Who told you to go there?" Jayden asked back.

"Sister..."

"Yes, come home here"

"But I've come here. Dong loss if not put there"

"La if so, don't complain. Make a quail's head know?"

"Cranky Brother"

"Come angry. Got a wife-to-be even LDR-an. Not funny"

"Take it in the dipper again"

"That's just one day. How many days have you tried"

And their conversation continued until midnight. Not until both are asleep.

Finally the next day. After checking his work many times. Tania finally decided to go to Giriloyo as well.

"Solve business there. Then we think of the next step" Inner Tania.

"Are you ready?" ask Tania.

Seeing Yuli and Qila was ready as well. Carrying a pretty good Qila gear. Tania slightly frowned. Kala saw Andi who also looked neat.

"Sir, can he come?" ask Yuli.

"Emm. Why can't you" Tania replied casually.

"Let him take care of Qila"

"OKAY. Can you drive?" ask Tania to Andi.

Andi shakes. It can't not be. But he was afraid that it would ruin everything.

"Okay is it ready?" tania asked after everyone got into her car.

"Ready!!!" Qila answered enthusiastically.

The boy was very happy every time he was invited to ride in a car. For a moment Tania pressed her GPS screen. Write down the destination. Although there is Yuli who is the tour guide. Just making sure.

"Qila don't hold lo!" the mother gave a warning look.

Tania smiled. Every time I see the interaction between mother and child. Slowly the luxury car began to take to the highway. Tania appears to be tucking in her bluetooth headset.

Andi sat in the back seat. Just silently looked at Tania from behind. The man was really insecure about Tania's lifestyle.

"I'm really nothing compared to you" Andi said. It really was already lacking the courage to approach Tania.

Let alone looking at the sparkling ring attached on Tania's finger. Diamonds and expensive. Andi could only sigh. Regret never obeyed the advice of Andri, his brother.

Trying to find a job. Then it works well. So one day if you have a girl you like. You feel confident to approach and pursue it. Not as of now. Just looking at Tania's pretty face she didn't have the courage.

"Yes, Brother?" tania's voice broke Andi's daydream.

"..."

"Not knowing"

"..."

"I'm again nyetir Sis"

"..."

"To Giriloyo"

"..."

"Yes, tonight's the phone"

"My brother's in Jakarta" Tania replied.

Yuli berooo.

"There's something Natasya Tumben called me. Usually just chatan" inner Tania.

Not how long Tania's car began to enter the Giriloyo batik village area. Along with his car passed through a gate and signboard that read Kampung Batik Giriloyo. Giriloyo batik village is located in Wukirsari village, Imogiri Subdistrict. Bantul Regency, Yogyakarta.

"It's over" said Qila.

"Kok know?" ask Tania.

"That car has stopped" replied plain Qila.

"Cooking? If Auntie stops because of the red light" test Tania.

"There are no red lights here Auntie" replied Qila.

Makes Tania laugh.

"Your son is smart Mommy"

"Bikin mumet yes" replied Yuli.

Tania was even crushed. The three went straight down. With Tania holding her camera. Handycamnya. Yuli and Andi are busy with Qila. Who's been running around here and there.

"Qila don't run!" Yuli yells.

Andi was overwhelmed by Qila's menhandle. The boy is really active. Also courageous. No matter where it is. The boy remained actively moving agilely. Not to be silent.

Meanwhile Tania has started to enter a Joglo (a building like a pendopo). There are many people in it, most of them women. Doing batik activities. A little talk to the person in charge there.

The person with the sumringah invited Tania to see the process of batik. Start the selection of basic fabrics for batik. Batik pattern depiction. Just got into the most complicated stage. Bathing process. Then the process of dyeing the batik cloth with special preservatives that are environmentally friendly. So that the batik cloth can remain durable.

All of that did not escape Tania's observation. Who occasionally photograph it using his camera or make his camera using his handycam.

There he was also taught how to recognize the good qualities of batik. Because Tania said that she has a convection factory in Surabaya. Making the person in charge there very enthusiastic with Tania.

In general, they need a place to market batik village products. Also, so that the batik village is more widely known to the public.

Tania herself had time to feel for herself how complicated and difficult it is to batik. He should sit down. With a cloth that has been covered with batik motifs first. Slapped in front of him. Even he was overheated while holding the canting. Tools used to fix.

How not hot. Because the canting is placed in a container containing the night (paint to batik ). And underneath there is a small stove that continues to light up. To keep the night warm and stay liquid.

The canting should be dipped in a night liquid with the right quantity. Can not be mostly, also should not be too little.After that should be blown for a while.

Time applied to the fabric that has been patched pattern. You also have to be careful. If we are too hasty when painting it. The night liquid will be too much that is poured onto the cloth. Until the result the line we draw will be thick. Not thin. In some cases even the liquid of the night will form a round stain instead of a thin line such as a scribble pen or pencil.

In the end, Tania gave up. He laughed to himself seeing the results of his death. Which is full of round stains. Unlike the property of mothers and mothers who are experts in batik batik. They are like people who draw with a pencil. Neat, spotless clean.

Tania was amazed. When entering the gallery where the finished batik cloth will be displayed there. Ready to spoil the eyes and attract the interest of the visitors of the batik village.

A guard there explained some of the batik motifs available. But Tania did not understand at all. Because it turns out that each batik motif is commonly used for certain events only. So many batik motifs are there. Also color options.

Tania really learned a lot that day. He increasingly wants to use batik cloth in every plan. See how beautiful batik fabric if combined with other fabrics. Or without other fabric alloy.

"really pretty. It's admirable. Incredibly" the compliment never stopped spouting from Tania's lips.

The camera and handycam girl also did not stop perpetuating the beauty of batik cloth in the gallery. In the end he asked for the phone number of the village's responsible. Who knows, he'd like to order a cloth from there.

But it turns out that batik village already has their own website. Makes Tania even more excited about it. It was not in vain that he delayed some of his virtual meetings. To be able to go here. Because the result he got the raw materials as well as the science to increase his knowledge about batik.
