I Love You My Sugar Daddy
Cendol and rujak

Three months have passed and today at the house of Rafael's extended family is being held the 7th anniversary of Alesha's pregnancy. There are invited study mothers and orphans who get compensation.

Hoping to get prayers full of sincerity from the people who came so that the baby in the womb of Alesha could be born safe without any shortage.

Pregnancy besides having many myths, also has many traditions from cultural customs in each region.

Traditions that have been going on according to local customs and culture tens or even hundreds of years. Because Rafael comes from Javanese descent, so the mother held a 7-monthly event in Javanese custom.

All of this is done by hoping to God Almighty that pregnancy be given smoothness and salvation until delivery.

The event was held in the yard of the house that had been installed tents. When using Javanese customs, led by the elderly.

The opening has been done sungkeman which is the first stage of a series of 7 monthly ceremonies.

Sungkeman performed Alesha on the husband and continued the two doing sungkeman to both their mothers because they already have no father.

Alesha always told her husband to find out about the father who had been hidden by her mother.

However, until now have not found information because it is very difficult if there is no information of any kind only armed with names. So, Alesha chose to forget about him and no longer expect to know about the real father that had been hidden by her mother.

She and her husband did a songkeman to ask for the blessing of a smooth pregnancy and a healthy baby.

Then the second, Alesha also did a flush. The stage that is familiar to Alesha often sees on television and never thought if she would experience it because she has a great husband like Rafael who is rich and became one of the conglomerates in Jakarta.

Alesha is now bathed by family members because it is a symbol of self-cleaning, both physical and soul. Water itself comes from 7 sources.

"Now, there will be broken eggs, dear," said the figure of the woman who was none other than Tiana who was most excited at the event.

He now waved to his son to get closer. "Hurry up, honey!"

Rafael who has understood because the mother explained not to make mistakes. Currently his job is to do the egg breaking after the wife did the flush.

So, he did the next stage, which is to break the egg. Rafael is currently smiling at his wife and showing her a chicken egg in his hand.

"Don't shadow my eggs, dear," whispered Rafael near his wife's sense of hearing.

Until he immediately felt pain in his waist because it was pinched by a woman who looked sour with pursed lips because of annoyance at his jokes.

"Iiish ... sucks!" alesha's circus who was currently feeling annoyed because her husband seemed not ashamed to tease her in front of many people.

Although Rafael's words were very soft, he still felt ashamed if he was heard by others.

"Canda, honey," said Rafael who did not want his wife nervous, so do anything to be able to make the woman he loved more relaxed.

Then he attached a chicken egg in his hand first to the forehead and stomach of his wife who still looks sour, then broken to the floor.

"Hopefully my wife's delivery is smooth" he said, to which Aamiin was greeted by everyone watching.

Even including Alesha who also guaranteed. Honestly, when her pregnancy began to grow, she more often felt restless and difficult to sleep at night.

Alesha is worried and afraid that her stomach will be dissected because she wants to give birth normally. He did not want his stomach decorated with many stitches because the mother said it is better to give birth normally.

However, he did not know whether to give birth normally or Caesarean section and thought that all of it was determined by God's destiny. She can only pray and try to fulfill the commands of the mother in order to give birth normally.

'Even 2 more months, but I am always restless every day because of fear. May my son be healthy until later born, ' murmured Alesha who currently knows the sex of the baby she contains while doing USG at specialist Obgyn.

Even when she found out that her first child was a boy, her husband looked very happy and she was also very happy to see him.

That the majority of husbands want a boy, in contrast to the wives who want their first child a girl because he thinks it is much funnier and also adorable.

Especially if you see baby girl clothes that are many models and beautiful and colorful, there must be a desire to buy often. As for boys, there are not many models and certainly just monotonous.

He who actually wants to have a daughter and buy a variety of cute and beautiful clothes, finally did not deliver, but still grateful for his first son and hope if later his son can take care of his sister.

"Now the next event is breaking January," said the Javanese elder who was deliberately invited to direct the event to run smoothly.

"In this procession, janur is tied to the stomach of the future mother, then the prospective father will break the janur. Just like the egg breaking, breaking the janur aims to make labor go smoothly," the middle-aged man who is currently showing his way to the prospective father to follow him.

This morning, there was a special person doing brojolan, which is a procession involving young ivory coconuts carved images of Kamajaya and Dewi Ratih intended so that babies can be born without difficulty.

Once ready, now directly done breaking the coconut which is a continuation of the previous procession.

Without wasting time, Rafael now takes one of the coconuts with his eyes closed. Coconuts that are taken are then placed in the flush area and broken. This is done to estimate the gender of the baby.

Everyone who witnessed it instantly clapped and cheered. "Well .. boys!"

Alesha only chuckles at it because she already knows it and only she, her husband and mother and father-in-law know.

'They just look so happy to know what my husband chose is a coconut with a Kamajaya engraving. Turns out my husband is really cool for being able to pick coconuts that represent boys.'

He immediately pointed his thumb after the husband opened the blindfold. "Cool, Honey. You're a great father-to-be because you can guess the sex of your own child."

Rafael, who immediately hugged his wife and kissed her forehead, is now back to teasing women who look more sparkling because of the happiness emanated from the beautiful face.

"Of course I'm a great husband and father." Then remember something and talk to the wife.

"Alex really didn't come and didn't want to see you. Though I invited him yesterday to come take his future wife so you can see what kind of woman will replace your position."

Rafael, who has been a shareholder in Alex's company for several months, accepted the proposal offered by the man and worked together until now.

Until he gets the news if Alex is betrothed by his parents and what is surprising is that the man accepted it.

Although he and his wife were astonished because Alex decided to accept the betrothed and about two months to get married, but did not dare to ask because he thought it was a privacy.

"I was actually eager to call her to ask her why she suddenly decided to accept an arranged marriage from her parents. I'm worried if he does the same thing you did with me."

Alesha really felt very curious about Alex, but when asking for her husband's permission to contact the man, it was strictly forbidden and finally she until now did not know the reason for marriage.

"Wouldn't it be unnecessary to do that because it's not our domain to get into someone else's privacy even though you were once close to Alex, but now it's someone else and also be my wife." Raphael, who had just closed his mouth, heard his mother-in-law calling.

"Alesha, it's time to change clothes. After the flush is done, must change the clothes previously used. This dressing ceremony will use 7 types of cloth that symbolize 7 months and hope for the baby."

Liana Nuraini is currently taking her daughter inside and is assisted by her son as well. While the besiannya was busy greeting some guests who attended the 7 monthly event.

Alesha just obeyed everything said by her mother and was curious about the seven fabrics she would wear. So, he asked his in-laws and found out what it meant.

"It turns out like this 7 months in Javanese custom yes, Mom. Very interesting and fun." Then Alesha looked towards the husband who was now walking next to her.

"Darling, you know what those 7 fabrics symbolize?" He deliberately wanted to test the appropriate abilities that are native to Javanese descent.

Meanwhile, Rafael has been helping the wife still into the room, now if the question the wife just wants to mock him whether to know it or not.

"Of course I know because the Seven cloths symbolize happiness, glory, so that the love of both parents last forever, so that his presence is pleasant for those around him, independence and lastly simplicity."

When Rafael now smiles triumphantly because he managed to make the wife did not succeed in mocking him, continued by his in-laws.

"Yes, later on when the 6th cloth usage, the invited guests will be responded “less match” and the 7th with ‘mat.” Lia Nuraini also now knows a lot about the customs in the besan family and is very happy to know about it.

That there is a lot of diversity in the culture of many tribes in Indonesia.

"Yes, Mom. Mama told me." Alesha, who was now dressed, saw the door open after being knocked and the in-laws entered.

"It's time for you and Rafael to sell cendol and rujak. Later Rafael will protect you when selling. Later that is bought on using coins from clay or crew. It must be so funny to see it."

Then Tiana took the son and daughter-in-law who looked excited like her.

"Come, Honey. We sell cendol and rujak. I haven't eaten a cendol in a long time, it must be very fresh." Rafael, who also wants to feel the freshness of ice cendol, plans to enjoy it.

"I also want to" said Alesha who from earlier swallowed saw the green cendol with pure palm sugar that is very thick.
