A beautiful and bright morning. The sun shines brightly, illuminating the blue sky, removing the nimbus clouds that disturb the scenery, leaving only thin clouds like scribbles on the painting on the canvas. Four friends and their families, already fun to enjoy the beautiful nature of God's creation on the top of the hill that borders directly with the South Beach. This area in morphological terms is called the "cliff coast", which is a steep beach located in mountainous areas that directly border the sea. Yes, indeed Taman Awang-awang on the south side, in the form of steep cliffs that border directly with the Indian Ocean. And this is the attraction of Taman Awang-awang, which is the construction of photo spots located just above the beach with a height of about fifty meters from sea level. So, when taking selfies, it is as if we are in the clouds below which are the waves of the South Coast. Very beautiful and charming. So no wonder, if that morning four friends and their families immediately took selfies.
"Russia .... Excellent, Yudi .... It's a very beautiful place" said Dr. Handoyo.
"Who was the architect .... Mis Yuna, so loh ..." said Rini who is certainly proud of the building that has been done by Yuna.
"Come .., come ..., let's take a photo together first" said Alex's wife who had been leaning against the security fence of the photo spot.
"Come, gather all .... Let's take a photo together!" bring Yudi.
They, their friends and family were also gathered to take pictures together. Photo ..., photo ..., and photo. Splashing many times. Stylish, full of smiles, full of excitement. All look happy, can enjoy photos on the beach from the top of the hill Taman Awang-awang.
"I didn't expect it to be like this, Mas Yudi. Forgive me, who at that time rejected Mas Yudi's proposal." said Hamdan, Rini's husband.
"Have Papah ever refused an offer from Papah Yudi?" silvy asked his father.
"We take good wisdom, Mr. Hamdan .... If Mr. Hamdan's company used to accept my offer, then I would have a large debt and have to pay every month. But I was grateful, with the rejection of the proposal, that God had a better plan for me. Thank you, Mr. Hamdan." Yudi told Hamdan.
"Yes, Judy .... God's plan is always the best. The proof, not only Taman Awang-awang building that can be awoken amazingly, but there is a better thing, that you can get a beautiful angel .... You are great, Yudi ..." said doctor Handoyo who chimed in.
Naturally Yuna who was flattered as a beautiful angel, so blushed in embarrassment. At that time, her cheeks immediately flushed red, and of course added to her beauty.
"Eh, yes .... It turns out that God's plan is always good ..." said Rini who just realized.
"If you submit a proposal to me, Yud .., surely your proposal is not open, I immediately refuse .... I have no money .... Hehe ...." Alex asked gojekan.
"Otherwise to me, yes .... At most I got the injection .... Hahaha ..." added doctor Handoyo who is literate.
"Yes .., yes .... That is why we should always be grateful. Although our request was rejected, in fact God actually gave a better one" said Yudi.
"Eh, Yudi ..., if the proposal that you submitted to Japan, Yudi instilled how much money?" ask Alex who's an expert on building projects.
"Hehe ..., just want to know. It's all free, Lex .." Yudi replied.
"Free ...?! Whoa ..., wow.., wow .... Already helped, free, without pay, without returning capital, still given a bonus angel as beautiful as Mis Yuna? Very lucky of you, Yud ...!" said Alex who was still teasing.
"Not to be confused .... Rejeki anak soleh ..." said Yudi.
"Great you, Jud!" said doctor Handoyo who patted Yudi's shoulder.
"Eh, don't just hang out here .... Let's play together in the pyramid room" Yuna said.
"Good, not the toys?" ask Alex's wife.
"Traditional toys, to remember the past. Let's race for dexterity." challenge Yudi.
"Truly, this ...?!" sahut doctor Handoyo.
"Come .... Who's afraid ...?!" said Rini.
They also run up the staircase, towards the pyramid building, where the game center presents a variety of traditional games. And for a moment, they had already entered the game room. Yudi bought coins, and distributed them to his friends and family, to play.
"Well, it's called sodamanda. Toys of our childhood. But by Yuna, in this place all traditional games have been changed with digital systems. We played two people. Put the coins in the machine. Then when the music sounds the sign starts, these sodamanda boxes will turn on the image of the soles of the feet. We jump on the soles of the feet, from the box to the ketoak according to the image of the flaming soles. If in the box there is a picture of two feet, yes we have to step on with two feet. Come ..., who would dare?! We start ..." Yudi explained to his friends.
Then Yudi put the coin into the machine. Music also sounds. Yudi gave an example of how to play, jumping on a picture of a burning foot, such as when a child plays sodamanda. Jump ..., jump ..., and jump. Yudi succeeded. Then the machine was in addition to sounding beautiful music, also issued the words, "Congratulations .... You made it ..." so it sounds.
"Bec .... Just like that ...?! Small ...! I'll try!" said Alex who directly inserted the coin into the machine box.
Music also sounds. Alex jumps up, trying to step on a lit box with a picture of the soles of the feet. One time jump ..., succeed. Two jumps ..., successful. And, three leaps ..., "Tet ..., tot .... Sorry, you lost ..." The machine was out a sound that said that the player lost. The third jump, Alex failed.
"Hahaha ..." Everyone laughed at Alex.
"I'd like to try .." said another.
"I also ..." The others also wanted to try.
"These are just toys like this I lost ...?! Just be curious ...." Alex grumbling.
"Come, others please try other games. There's still a lot of games." Yudi said that tells the many types of games that are there.
"Come Rini, we play tug of war ...." Yuna took Rini.
"Where? How's play?" ask Rini to Yuna.
"This .... Rini ever play tug of war? This is a mine that we have to pull simultaneously, just in the opposite direction. Rini pull towards the back, hostile to me." explains Yuna.
"Oo ..., like that tug-of-war race, huh?" ask Rini.
"Yes, right. This is for the tug-of-war race. This can be maximum drawn by two people on one side and two others as enemies. So we are two versus two enemies" Yuna said as she gave her mooring. Of course not a rough curd mine like if the seven-dozen tug race, this is the mine from fine nylon fiber, so it does not make the hands so scuffed.
"Silvy ...! Yayan ...! C'mon here. We're a tug-of-war" said Rini calling her son and daughter-in-law.
A one-meter-high box, which had two string threads on opposite sides, was entered by Yuna. The music rang, and a colorful light lit up. The one mining thread is held by Rini and Yayan. His opponent's mine was already held by Yuna and Silvy.
"Walong .... Sedia .... Tariiik ....!" a voice came out from the box of the magic machine.
"Let's pull, Silvy .... The strong!" Yuna asked Silvy.
"Yes, Miss Yuna .... It's already tight!" suhut Silvy who pulled the mine until his body tilted.
"Come, Yan .... Pull on ...!" rini told her daughter-in-law.
"Yes, Mah .... Mom, pull that fast!" yayan Sahut.
"Nriv .., ngok .... Ngek ..., ngok .... Ngek ..., ngok .... Ngek ..., ngok ..." The magic box makes a sound and the lights are flickering colorfully.
The four men continued to pull interestingly. Silvy who pairs up with Yuna against Rini who pairs up with her daughter-in-law. Pretty long. And finally ....
"Nwiviik .... Nguwiii .... ..., tooot .... Horee ..." The voice from the machine box sounded.
On the screen faced by Yuna and Silvy, brightly lit there were fireworks, with the words, "Horee .... You win ..." shows that Silvy and Yuna's pair won.
While on the screen faced by Rini and Yayan, came out a red light with the words, "You lost."
"Yaa ..., lose ..." said Rini limp due to the taint of pulling the mine.
"Horee .., I won .... Horee ..., I won ...." Silvy had fun because he won, could beat her husband and mother.
Watching the happy Silvy, Hamdan immediately approached. Curious.
"Main what, this? How many ...?!" ask Hamdan.
"Pull mine, Pah .... Fun, challenging." answered Silvy.
"Come, Papah try .." said Rini to take her husband.
Yuna was replaced by Hamdan. Rini is paired with her husband, Silvy, and her husband. Child against parent, fight tug of war. Real crowded.
Yuna clapped her hands and shouted encouragingly. Yudi came closer. Tie up with Yuna, come yelling and cheering.
"Ayoo ..., ayoo ..., ayoo ..." yelled Yuna and Yudi excitedly.
And so with the others. They came, screaming with encouragement. Especially Alex's daughter. He was also curious about this tug-of-war game, wanted to try tug-of-war. Finally, everyone tried to play tug of war. Pairing each other, against his best friend's partner. Of course more crowded and cheering, such as during the tug-of-war race on Augustusan.
Satisfied with the tug of war, continued with other games. Some play snake ladder, some play dakon, some try jumping rope. All packed with digitizing machine. Fun and fun. Despite their age, they feel comforted and can release all the burdens of the mind.
"Who dares to ride the game of Jaran Negar?" ask her friends.
"Negar Jaran ...?! What'sthat?" ask doctor Handoyo.
"It's the most challenging game. Texans call this 'Rodeo'. But here, we adopted the game of controlling the hard-to-control bad horse. Jogja society refers to the term jaran negar. It can also be called a horse rage. It's play. Look at the boy .... He tried to survive on horseback." explained Yudi while showing the game of jaran negar.
"Well, if it's me I'm afraid" said Dr. Handoyo.
"I give up ..." Alex said.
"Yes .., it's okay, understand the old. If the young are told to try, how? Come on, Mas Yayan tried ..." said Yudi smilingly asking Yayan, Silvy's husband to try.
"Yes, come on Mas Yayan ...!" silvy Sahut.
"Yayan ..., Yayan ..., Yayan ...!" others cheered.
With fear, Yayan finally advanced, riding the country line. It was slow at first, but over time the horse that Yayan was riding moved even tighter. Yayan seemed to hold on tight. His face looks tense. Yayan frightened.
And finally, the movement of the country began to slow down. Slowly and then stop. Yayan successfully rode the country.
"Horeee ...!!" all cheered, happy to see Yayan who managed to control the country.
"Well, now .., we're having a good time getting on the dock bombs. The female goes up first. The men watch. Later change" said Yudi who took his friends to the place of the game of the docks bomb.
Semaua. Then the women entered the arena like car bombs, but in Taman Awang-awang the shape of the car is modified like a dockar, a traditional transportation tool typical of Jogja. Preoccupies. Everyone is happy and happy. Until they forget time. And play continues until the afternoon, when the pyramid building will be closed.
"Huh, is it closed?"
"Yes for goodness sake .... Without feeling we play until the afternoon."
"It's like being a kid again. Hehe ...."
"Why is it closed ...?! Still playing ...."
Well, time can't be stopped. Time keeps turning. Time must also end the parents who are happy to play with it. Of course, happiness has been found. Friendship is getting closer. Not only the four best friends, but the families of the four best friends were getting closer and closer. Happy and happy to play together. He can express emotions in his soul. He can take out all the burdens that are within him. It's good to play together.
