AFTER the VW car troupe that brought friends alumnus, Yudi with Handoyo and Alex, and of course Rini, who was in one car, did not follow his group of friends. Handoyo sat down next to the driver. Alex, Rini and Yudi sit in the driver's back seat.
"Turn left, Boss .... go straight to the house" Yudi said, ordering the VW driver.
"Ready, Mas Yudi ..." replied the driver.
"Sir, you know Yudi?" asked Rini who tried to look around.
"Very familiar, Mother ..." replied the driver.
"The driver lives in this village too?" ask Handoyo.
"Everyone involved in Nirwana Village, these people, sir. There can be no outsiders. Mas Yudi said, this is the village boy's dream." said the driver.
"Well, Yudi is here, right?!" rini protest.
"Loh, indeed the Father and mother have not known Mas Yudi?" ask driver.
"We were separated thirty years ago, Mas .." replied Alex.
"Ooo .... This Kampung Nirwana Lha is what Mas Yudi built. So, we are here, the residents of Nirwana Village are very indebted to Mas Yudi .." said the driver.
"Already, Boss ..., just shut up, the nyopir, then the wrong way" said Yudi who tried to tell the driver to be quiet, did not want to tell his friends.
"Okay, Mas Yudi .... Siaaap ..." replied the driver.
"Waaah .... Yudi was playing hide-and-seek, nich .." said Alex.
In just about six minutes, the car that Yudi was riding with his friends had arrived in front of the house with a unique building. The archway and front fence are built from super red brick which is specially imported from Bali. The model is similar to Balinese architects. Yudi named the gate as "Gapura Bentar" with a large teak door that was given a touch of Jepara carving. Like the ancient royal gate. Real cool.
"Come, down .... My home. Don't be mocked if it's ugly. Understand the house of the poor, not a great official like you" said Yudi who took his friends down from the car to enter his house.
"Wao ..." his friends were amazed.
"Great architecture!" Alex pats Yudi on the back.
"Well, you're a man or a god, Jud ...?!" said Handoyo who praised Yudi.
"This is your house, Jud? Busyeeet ..." asked Rini half in disbelief.
"Norwegian .... Come on, come in first .... No one's getting yelled at!" yudi said, inviting his friend in.
"Eh, for a moment, we take a selfie first" said Rini who immediately invited her friends to take a selfie in front of the gate entering Yudi's house.
Then the four of them stepped in across the gate that had a ladder one trap, made of andesite stone. Very compatible with the red brick. Next, at the back of the door were two stone staircases. After they entered, his friend was more amazed. There is a fairly spacious yard with fresh green hybrid grass. Cushion like a rug. On the left right side of the page, there are large pots lined up, containing anthurium flowers type of love waves are large and very fresh. In the right and left corner there are frangipani jambon flowers. In the middle of the yard there is a path made of colorful ceramic pieces, which are deliberately cut into small pieces, then arranged into beautiful motifs. The small road leads to the pendopo without walls, only large teak poles as a roof support. The pendopo is quite extensive. The floor is made of old marble. In the middle of the pendopo there are two large benches facing each other, in the middle there is a large table made of teak wood. Right on top of that big table hung an antique old pulley lamp. Around the pendopo, there is a pond with clear water surrounding the entire pendopo building. It was one meter wide, directly stuck under the floor, as if the pendopo was above water. Large colorful koi fish decorated the pond. While lesehan on the floor, people can tease the fish that swim around the pendopo. Very interesting, very beautiful. It makes people feel good to look at it.
"Wao ..., wao ..., wao ..." Yudi's friends were amazed. This time was completely astonished by Yudi's prowess.
"Jude ...! You are a god, yes ...?" said Alex.
"Bec .... Come, come ..., sit here first." take Yudi to his friends to sit on the bench.
His friend followed sitting. Alex sits next to Handoyo. Automatic Rini will sit next to Yudi.
"Where are your parents, Yud?" ask Handoyo.
"It's inside, I'll find it in a minute. Actually I'm here alone. My mother doesn't want me to stay here. But often here anyway, he happened to come yesterday, eeeh .., even I just left. He did not want to leave his hometown, afraid of losing his old friends. I understand that parents always do. But a lot of really, children who accompany me here" said Yudi.
"Well, you have a lot of children, Jud?" ask Alex who is confused.
"Haha .... You will know for yourself." said Yudi.
"I'm confused?" rini Selah.
"In a moment, yes .." said Yudi who then stood up.
Yudi left his friends, to enter the mother house, cross a kind of small bridge over the pond that was behind the pendopo, then open the rear gate. His friends looked at the house through the door that Yudi opened. They think, surely Yudi will take drinks or food treats.
Is correct. A few moments after Yudi entered, there were two girls, about ten years old, coming to bring four young coconuts that had been opened skin, served to guests who sat on the bench.
"Monggo, please drink" said the little girl.
"Thank you ..." said the three people sitting on the bench, Alex, Handoyo and Rini.
The two little girls went back. They thought, is this Yudi's son? Rini immediately stood up, following the little girl, into the inner house. He's curious.
"Waou .... Ceckck ..., ceckckck ...." Rini clucked in awe, astonished by what was seen in her eyes. Yudi's house is really artistic, like the buildings in the movie Saur Sepuh.
"Awas, be careful, Rin ...!" yudi said warning Rini to be careful crossing the descending stairs.
"Yes .... No papa ..." said Rini.
"Eh .... There was a guest to ..." said an old lady about seventy years old, who was near Yudi. She's Yudi's mother.
"Yes, Mommy .... I'm Rini, Yudi's friend at High School." replied Rini who greeted and kissed Yudi's mother's hand.
"Rini ...? Rini's to, Yud?" ask her mother Yudi, as if remembering a name.
"Yes, Mom, I'm Rini .... What's the matter, Mother?" ask Rini to Yudi's mother.
"Rini's Yudi's high school friend, huh?" the mother was still trying to ask, even though Yudi was obstructed.
"Yes, Mommy .... How, Mother ...? What's up, Mom ...?" Rini tried to ask, approaching Yudi's mother.
"It's okay ...." Yudi prevents Rini, blocking her approach to her mother.
"Yudi .., don't block me. There must be something you're keeping secret." Rini kept on approaching Yudi's mother.
But Yudi's mother had already stepped up, approached Rini and immediately hugged her, then said, "Ealah, this is to, Rini. Wea is beautiful."
"What's wrong, Mother? Did Yudi ever tell you about me?" asked Rini who had already held two hands of her mother Yudi.
"Yes .... Yudi many stories about you, the beautiful Nak Rini ..." said Yudi's mother, while stroking Rini's face.
"Don't, Mother ...! Don't tell!" Yudi forbade his mother to tell stories.
But Rini kept hugging the mother. Rini's feeling sure, surely Yudi told her about herself to her mother. Must be a problem .., ach ..., I don't know. Surely it's. Rini tried to guess about the relationship between the two of them. Even though her mother has not told her, Rini still smiles, surely later she will be found out also her secret.
Can't wait, because for too long, two friends, Alex and Handoyo who had spent drinks with, followed into the house behind the pendopo. When stepping in, they are also amazed by the building that is as secret, the building hidden behind the beautiful front pendopo.
"Cklaus .... Yudi, you really are a special architect. What house is this shooting film house?" said the astonished Handoyo.
"Not playing, our friend this one .... Heh, Yudi, who are you building this house for?!" Admired Alex also appeared. They knew that Yudi was not married.
"Yes to the queen, is ..." said Rini.
"Where is the queen ...?" Ask Handoyo.
"It's still hidden by Yudi, it's not allowed to be seen by his friend" replied Rini who joked.
"Ach .., you like to make fun of your friends" Yudi said.
"No, lah .... If confused to find a queen, in Nusa Tenggara a lot, I find it." said Handoyo.
"In Tangerang also many. In Jakarta there is no, Rin ...?" sahut Alex's.
"There are, many." said Rini, who was actually her heart pounding, not willing if there was someone else who became Empress Yudi.
Of course, Yudi's friends are more amazed to see the building of the mother house occupied by Yudi. When they were in front of the crowd, now inside, the house was absolutely beautiful. Very artistic and exotic. Justjust wonderful. Not just a house to live in, which there are four house buildings, on the right and left sides, although not large but very charming. While at the back there are other buildings, a kind of multipurpose building. There is a kitchen and dining room. In the back building there were some kids playing, sort of learning, but it was exciting.
"It .... Come eat. My mother has prepared special dishes, let's enjoy. Spend it all." Yudi took his friends to the dining room in the building close to where the children studied. The dining room is open. Beside the dining room there were ornaments of large stones piled up as if to be natural stone walls, and from the top there was water flowing into waterfalls, which soaked the stones. The sound of gurgling waterfall that adds to the pleasure of the dining atmosphere.
"Crazy, you Jud! How much money did you build this house?" ask Alex who is always astonished.
"Npus .... This is not mine." Yudi replied casually.
"Well, who does it belong to?" ask Handoyo.
"The Trust of the Almighty. Yes, for all of them." replied Yudi while pointing at the children playing near the dining room.
"Who are the children, Jud? Your kid?!" ask Alex.
"Not .... They're the village kids here. They study here, there are teenagers, they teach younger siblings. Of course, it depends on his habits. Some teach English, some teach math. Foster each other, compassionate. I just direct." explained Yudi.
"Busyet, your highness is right, Yud" said Handoyo, Yudi's friend who became the head of the Hospital.
"Friends, sorry, later I will not go to Taman Awang-awang" said Rini interjected.
"Well, keep ...?!" Alex asked.
"Gue lives here, to be surrounded by Yudi's mother. Hehehe ..." replied Rini who looked happy and excited.
"Huh ...?!" Alex and Handoyo were shocked.
"Do you know?" ask Alex.
"Know. High School has never met. Hehehe ..." answered Rini.
"Yes, already .... Go ahead. But later disappointed you know, can not see the beauty of Taman Awang-awang" said Handoyo.
"Sir papa. Send me the picture." said Rini.
Of course, not only Handoyo and Alex were shocked, Yudi was surprised. His face was red. Surely the secret will be revealed, surely his mother will tell everything. Yudi bowed, afraid.
"Have ..., there on the go. I'm sorting out the place to eat" Rini told her friends.
"Watch me ....!!" the increasingly frightened Yudi.
*******
Rini's face was radiant. Happy and happy to be at home. An artistic home, a beautiful home, a peaceful home, a home of charity, a home like heaven.
"Your house has drugged my heart, is this heaven for me, Yudi ....?"
The turmoil appeared in the heart of a woman named Rini.
