LOVE BLOWS FROM REUNION
Episode 143: FATE AND DESTINY

    After handing over the painting of Kampung Karang, Yudi chatted with Pak Kadus in the living room of Pak Kadus' house. Yudi intends to invite Mr. Kadus with his family, to stay at Nirwana> Village Of course all of you to see his son who has been given a job by Yudi.

    "Monggo, Mr. Kadus and Mother, and Fat .., I stole the act to my house. In addition to friendship, all of you look at his son who works there. For medicine kangen" Yudi said to Mr. Kadus and his wife.

    "Well, if you all go to Den Mas Yudi's house, Iha my house shelf suwung, Den Mas .." replied Mr. Kadus tried to refuse.

    "Just last night, Mr. Kadus .... Let's just say this is a thank you I have been saved by the residents of Kampung Karang ..." pinta Yudi half forced.

    "How is this, Ms ...?" ask Kadus to his wife.

    "Let's know my house, ma'am .... Look at his son." said Yudi.

    "If I am Father alone .... That's what you invited ..." answered his wife.

    "Negg, Den Mas .... But the departure is somewhat later, to ...? Let us be ready first .." replied Mr. Kadus.

    "Yes, Sir .... Later in the afternoon, the sky is already high. It is still waiting for friends to finish the paintings first." said Yudi.

    "O, nggih ..., maturnuwun .... Come on Ma'am, we're ready" said Mr. Kadus.

    "Yudi, do you have money to buy that hill on the west side?" anna, her painter friend, asked Yudi, as the two of them talked on the beach.

    "Why indeed?" ask Yudi.

    "I want to have a painting studio there .... Looks like my friends are happy with this place. They fit in with the natural beauty here. They're excited. Instead of living in a cramped Cultural Park, they are not creative, minimal work, which is certainly financial poor. If there is a painting studio here, maybe the artists are calmer in their work." explained Ana to Yudi.

    In this world, there are rarely women painters. Ana and Imah, maybe enough work. But his paintings rarely buy. Most in the gallery. If it sells, the price is not much. Yudi understands that. But that's the risk of being a painting artist. Mending became a street busker rather than a painting artist. Street artists only capital bottle caps nailed to pieces of wood, crak-crik-crak-crik at crossroads, already got the money. But the painter, the capital to buy the material is expensive, the results are most sold not much. Especially if the painting is ugly, not bought even ridiculed.

    Yudi once thought as Ana and Imah said when they came and spent the night at his house first. But at that time Yudi had planned to create an art market in Kampung Nirwana. It's just that until now, want to increase the land area, there has been no agreement with the Village. Because what is desired by Yudi, later the art market is connected to the craft market, culinary market and tourist cars. But it was a market, not a painting studio.

    Now, when his painter friends wanted to have a painting studio, Yudi's mind began to tingle. Could it be possible to build a painting studio in this beautiful place? So who will manage?

    "Ana .., buy a hill of that size, of course it must be with a lot of money .... Whose money?" asked Yudi who tried to convince his friend, that to make a painting studio would take a lot of money.

    "Yes money Yudi, is ..." so far Imah who helped hoard.

    "And again, can the land be bought ...?" ask Yudi again.

    "But, Yudi .... Look at that hill, it's so beautiful to paint nature. Not too high, directly adjacent to the charming white sand beach. While on the south side, can immediately see the blue ocean. That's amazing, Yud .... Surely up there we can get a lot of ideas" said Ana who again burned Yudi's mind.

    Yudi's mind immediately drifted. He remembered when he bought the top of the hill, initially also used as a place he sought ideas to make paintings on the hill, which now the hill has become a tourist attraction Taman Awang-awang. If the hill that Ana wants with her friends can be bought, then made into a painting studio, surely her friends will be eager to paint.

    "Has anyone painted from the top of that hill?" ask Yudi.

    "There .... I went up .... It was really amazing there .... It's beautiful ..." answered one of his friends who became a street painter.

    Yudi believe. Because he had experienced painting on the top of a hill. But again, is the hill to be bought? If it can be bought, whose money will be used to pay?

    "Yes .., we just pray, if the Most Gracious allows, there will be a way" Yudi said to his friends.

    "Yes, Jud .... Thank you for everything." said Ana who despite looking sad, but actually the sense of humanity is very high.

    "Well, we go home ...?! It's the most beautiful moment, bro .... Sunset .... It's a pity to be missed ..." protested one of his friends.

    "Would you sleep here?" sahut Yudi's.

    "But it's a beautiful moment, bro .." said another friend.

    "You are ancient painters .... Take the moment with HP, a splashy protreti .... So to bro ..." said Yudi.

    "Then, wait for us to take the photos first ..." said his friends.

    "Please, select a good location .... Tomorrow you'll just pour it in the canvas .... It's delicious, right .." said Yudi teaching his friends.

    At dusk, the painters who came to Kampung Karang, busy perpetuating the beauty of nature paintings stocked by the Almighty.

*******

    That morning, Yudi with Yuna, took Pak Kadus Kampung Karang and his wife and small children, traveling around Nirwana Village. Of course by driving a yellow VW Safari tour car that opened the roof. Car openings. Intentionally Yudi wanted to show the beauty of Nirwana Village to his guest. Of course, Mr. Kadus and his wife, ternungun witnessed the beauty of the building houses of the residents of Kampung Nirwana, who on average use the architect style of the Majapahit kingdom.

    "Waaah .., this is an amazing village, Den Mas Yudi .... Real beautiful. Surely the people are prosperous all" said Pak Kadus Kampung Karang who was amazed to see the beauty of the village building.

    "Pak Kadus, Bu Kadus .., our village was once the same as Kampung Karang where the Father and Mother lived. I am not a native of Nirwana Village. When I first worked in Bantul, I only had a home contract. Not have your own home. I walk here. This village is still very much behind. The houses of the residents are not much different from Kampung Karang. Still use the fence of woven bamboo, and the roof of the weeds are tied. That was twenty-five years ago. I am trying to get the villagers here to move forward .... Real hard. Even if I may say, they don't want to change their fate. He said destiny. In fact, fate and destiny are actually on our will. If we try, our lives will change. Until I take an example, if someone was hit by a tree in the middle of the forest, but in the forest there was no one, if the person did not try to escape from the tree trunk that hit him, but there was no one in the forest, then you can be sure that person will die. They say it is destiny. But the truth is, if the person who was hit by the tree tried to free himself from the trunk of the tree that hit him, surely he would not die. At least that person will be detached from the tree trunk that befalls. So, the fate and destiny of a person, it depends on how that person tries. Simply put, people will have money if they want to work for money" Yudi said.

    "Like that yes, Den Mas ..." said Mr. Kadus.

    "I eventually bought land here, then I built a house. I lived in this village, and became a citizen of this village. I communicate with young people, certainly give an idea of a way of life that can change fate. For more than five years I fought here, then I had followers, there were people who approached, there were people who could accept my ideas. At first, the way I paid. I spend a lot of money. But I am happy when the people here can and want to change. Change his fate, change his destiny. And become this village to be Kampung Nirwana. Try Father, Mother, look at our village .... The building is beautiful, attractive, neatly arranged. From this building alone has become the allure of foreigners. They finally came here. And it contributes to the income of the people here. So that it can batik, batiknya sold. Who can make crafts, can be marketed and make money. Those who are good at cooking can open food stalls, and will certainly earn income. Over time, our village became as crowded as it is today. Tourists, tourists come to our village. The community is now prosperous." explained Yudi to Pak Kadus Kampung Karang.

    Of course Yudi discussed this issue, to give an idea to Kadus Kampung Karang to be moved to improve the standard of living of the people of Kampung Karang. At least there is a change in the view of Mr. Kadus in leading his village, so as not to just surrender to receive from nature alone. Rather, it can get better financial income for the people of Kampung Karang, through efforts that can be done by the community in Kampung Karang.

    "But, Den Mas ..., can our village be like this?" ask Mr. Kadus.

    "Can, Mr. Kadus .... It all depends on our intentions. Whether the driver changes or not. Go forward or just shut up. If we want to move forward, if we want to change, we try our best. Surely the Almighty God will give abundant blessings. Including the car that we ride, used to be ndongkrok. But after being well managed, this driver can support his family. Isn't that right, Boss ...?!" yudi said while patting the shoulder of the tour driver.

    "This is all thanks to the efforts of Mas Yudi, sir .." said the driver.

    VW car tour continues to walk, tracing Kampung Wisata, into various attractions that become a mainstay in Kampung Nirwana. And finally, the tour car reached the top of Taman Awang-awang hill.

    "Monggo, we're down here .... This is the pride of the people of Nirwana Village. Taman Awang-awang, built by Yuna, a famous Japanese designer. This beautiful man, the man ..." said Yudi who explained to Kadus and his wife, and of course while hugging Yuna's shoulder to show to the two guests.

    "God .... Very good, Den mas .., Den Ayu .... This is what built Den Ayu Yuna ...? Not expecting, a person as beautiful as Den Ayu Yuna can build a building as beautiful and grand as this .." said Mr. Kadus.

    Of course the husband and his son were amazed to see the beauty of Taman Awang-awang. Starting from the beautiful hills, nice buildings, attractive parks, and the arrangement of staircases, photo spots, photo spots, and so on, and the most amazing Mr. Kadus and his wife and child is when to the edge of the cliff that is bounded by an iron fence, watching the beauty of the South Sea. Justjust wonderful.

    "Wah .., Den Mas Yudi ..., Den Ayu Yuna .... It's really incredible. Is our village in Kampung Karang there, the community can change destiny, can improve fate? Let our village advance?!" ask Mr. Kadus and his wife.

    "In Japan, we don't know destiny, we never talk about fate. But we did the effort. Only our work determines our standard of living" Yuna told Kadus and his wife.

    "That means we have to try yes, Den Ayu .... Help and pray for us yes, Den Mas ..., Den Ayu .... We will strive to change our destiny and fate" Mr. Kadus said.

    "May Allah grant Mr. Kadus' wish." replied Yudi.
