43. Dinner Review

Early morning mbok Darmi woke me up to go shopping in accordance with the agreement yesterday, while Batara was in charge of arranging the dining table as beautiful as possible with fresh flower decorations. But he was still sleeping and feeling sleepy, Mr. Broto was exercising in the morning while looking for inspiration.

While at the market I plan to make sweet cakes to serve as a dessert, and main foods such as stews, brenebon soup, parchment and there are some more. All of these foods were adapted from the Netherlands. Lapis legit also turned out to be a colonial-style banquet, but we prefer to make nagasari and ongol-ongol. For drinks we will make raw wedang uwuh and fresh coconut water.

While touring the market I found people selling beautiful fabrics and I wanted to buy them, but since mbok Darmi only brought enough money and barteran so I couldn't get them, the fabric is a motif and the pattern is very beautiful and fresh, it feels very if in the future the fabric will be popular. Maybe next time I'll get it.

After shopping we went home and rushed to cook and make various kinds of food in the day was exhausting, but because it was done happily and sincerely so it did not feel tired. Batara was happy and wrapped up some of her things to give to Djaya as a friend and I asked Batara to give clothes or whatever it was for Laksmi, and I tried to find what Laksmi deserved to wear, and I was asked to give it to him, finally after I chose I gave her some clothes and accessories.

But the strange thing is, why I did not meet with the spirit of Sri or the spirit of Diajeng ma'am, why even met the elders of the neighborhood. But I really can't wait to meet Adi's mother, bu Sari, aka mbok Darmi. It feels so exciting and exciting. Mr. Broto is painting a picture of the old home environment, it looks like it will be given to his best friend Mr. Yadi. While Batara and I were busy helping mbok Darmi until it did not feel finally finished as well.

At exactly 6pm they all came to this house carrying some small cakes and refreshing jug water. I greet them all happily, Batara was also very happy with sparkling eyes. We invite you to relax and enjoy your wedding and go around our house, enjoy the stars in the backyard or see paintings from Mr. Broto.

"Hello bu Sari... " Sapaku to Adi's mother.

"Hello non, nice to meet again, "he said shady.

"Call me Amini yes ma'am. " Answer.

"Well Amini, "he replied with a sweet smile.

"What if you talk on the front porch. " I said to take Miss Sari.

While everyone else is busy, this is my chance to talk to bu Sari.

"Is mommy healthy? " Ask me.

"Have a son, I'm healthy enough, yesterday was tired of working. " The answer is simple.

"So how about just get to the point ma'am, what did you mean yesterday? " tanyaku.

"Hmm. You are so impatient, son, "he replied.

"Yes bu Sari. " Reply again.

"So how do I explain it yes, but I'm not a smart person, it's just that I have a vision of something that other people can't feel. " She said.

"You could say indigo mother or have a sixth sense. " Answer.

"I don't understand son, but it is hereditary like that from my ancestors, and I happen to be the one who got the vision, if mbak Darmi, he is happy not to inherit strange things. But Darmi keeps this a secret from outsiders, only the nuclear family knows. " the answer.

"Did bu Sari see Sri? the house selector? " tanyaku.

"Could be, he's still there doing the same thing, hasn't been sincere about what. I asked him a few times, but he did not answer clearly. Even here alone there were guardian tigers in front of this house. " Say bu Sari.

"Huh? right in front of this page, right, ma'am? " i asked to make sure, because Ana did see the tiger guard this house.

"Yes... It seems like you are also sensitive Amini? " ask her.

"There's your own shadow following you, why can I see you there are 2 Amini, it looks like a shadow. " She said and I was surprised, whether Amini had been my shadow and protecting or telling something just that I could not understand.

"Come on, ma'am, I don't understand either. It's just that it always feels weird with Asmirah's mom. " Answer.

"Mrs Asmirah from childhood to maiden and even being a mother today, she is very kind and loving, a tough and educated woman, only blind from love can cause havoc. " She said while closing her eyes.

"Yes." Yeah." I answered briefly while thinking about even almost drifting in my daydream.

Silent for quite some time, we both drifted into each other's minds.

"I advised non Amini to continue to give love and affection to Madame Asmirah, she faced life and death when giving birth to Amini, even she insisted on giving birth to you in this world, though the shaman beranak said there was only 1 who would survive. But fate helped you both. " His words give advice.

"really that? I've never heard that story. " My words were shocked. It turns out that a mother's struggle is matchless.

"Yes Amini, no matter how bad your mother is she is still your mother. There is only one way to remove all of these dark circles, which is honesty. " the answer.

"Honesty? " Ask me.

"Madam must admit everything if she wants her family to remain intact, and bad things don't come to haunt the family. " the answer.

"But how? there's no way Mr. Broto would forgive. " Task me while frowning.

"Can, if that has gone sincerely. " the answer.

"Could bu Sari help release this dark circle? " Tanyaku.

"This circle is like a tangled thread, so tangled that it doesn't know how to let go. " the answer.

"Well how? " Tell me again and again.

"Only if you want the Madam to be honest and answer for her mistakes. Whether it was a problem with his in-laws or with Sri. " the answer.

"Is Sri? in ma'am... " Tanyaku stopped.

"Yes, not intentionally. But when your mistress is pregnant, she tries to take good care of her child. But destiny says something else. " She said.

"I was so sad to hear that, I felt sorry for my mother. " Answer.

"Hopefully one day, the mistress can be honest and brave. I know it's hard to live a life that is disturbed by other creatures. Even able to try not to be afraid when it is haunted. But what you need to know, Sri's son is a twin, one died and the other was taken away by a child shaman who he said if put together would all die and until now everyone had tried to find him never to meet. " She said.

I was shocked and surprised by Batara who told us to gather at the dinner table because the dinner will start. We entered with a gaze that was still not satisfied with our conversation, I did not know his son or daughter and what the name of the shaman was so I could look for him.

But I saw Sari's mother a good, non-judgmental person, she was like your life was your life, my life was my life. I began to admire him because it was not easy to keep a bitter secret and could not accuse because there could not be strong evidence. It can even backfire on its own.

We ate our food voraciously and listened to the past stories of these parents and listened to their advice. It was a quiet and joyful dinner until finally a very heavy rainstorm made the guests unable to go home, and Mr. Broto asked all the guests to stay the night.
