"Non Yuna ..., come to Magelang tomorrow, yes. Mumpung to Indonesia, had to go to Borobudur" his mother Yudi told the Japanese girl who was predicted to be his son-in-law.
"Borobudur? I want to go to Borobudur Temple. Borobudur Temple is very famous. Many Japanese people talk about Borobudur. Watashi wa shitaidesu's. I want to go to Borobudur, Mbok" said Yuna who became interested in the offer of her mother Yudi. He immediately deflected to the old woman who was beside him.
"What is this boy talking about? Yud, iki what does that mean?" ask Yudi's mother.
"Dw, Mbok .... He wants to go to Borobudur. It was the one who ngimingi Simbok." said Yudi.
"Yes, wis .... Tomorrow Sunday will be invited. All send Simbok home, yes Le." said his mother.
"Yes .." answered Yudi casually, listening to everything his mother said. Understandably, Yudi did not want to make his mother disappointed.
"Ashiiik .... Are we going to Borobudur, Yudi?" yuna asked Yudi.
"Yes .... Wis anyway, yes is ..." said his mother Yudi who knows English.
Yuna laughed, Yudi also laughed. People laughed at the words that Simbok said.
*******
On Sunday, Yudi with his father, mother and Yuna, and Bagas went to Borobudur. Picnics witness the beauty of historical relics that once entered one of the wonders of the world. The five of them were happy to have a picnic together. Moreover, the happiest one was Yudi's mother. How not, starting from getting out of the car, walking towards the park, to taking the train to the temple, he was taken by Yuna. His face sparkles, his smile expands, able to walk hand in hand with a very beautiful daughter-in-law, a nonic from Japan. Even according to the story of Bagas, Yuna will finance the development of tourism objects managed by the people of Kampung Nirwana. Means Yuna is a rich man, money is a lot. Thinking so, mother Yudi grew even more proud.
So did his father Yudi. For a long time this old man wanted to have a daughter-in-law who would accompany Yudi's life. And now, when she saw Yudi's affection when she was fed by Yuna, Yuna was kind to her mother-in-law, a jolly and smiling girl, even Yuna has been following her mother Yudi by calling Simbok. Moreover, Yudi once told his father, that Yuna is a famous artist in Japan. Of course his gymnastic blood is back excited. Descendants of artists, children of artists, and now will have an artist son-in-law. Whoa .... Later this old man will have a grandson who became a great artist.
"Gas, your mother is accompanied, you are guided. The three of us went around together. Ma'am Yuna let me go around the same Mas Yudi, who could explain. If you only know yes no yes no only. Haha ..." his father Yudi told Bagas.
"Yes, Sir. I know what you want .... Hahaha ..." said Bagas with a laugh, who then ran to the mother who was still walking with Yuna.
"What's up, Gas?" ask the old woman.
"Simbok with me and my dad. Ma'am Yuna let go with Mas Yudi." whispered Bagas to the woman.
"Weah, smart you, Le. Okay .., okay ..." said Yudi's mother while giving a thumbs up.
The woman stopped, waiting for her husband. After being together, the tactics of the three of them, mother, father and Bagas, immediately run. His mother pretended to ask to be delivered to the restroom. Bagas escorted her to the restroom. So did the husband, accompany him. The three of them walked together. Yudi and Yuna, who were left behind, were forced to walk together. Even though he was old, his father and mother Yudi had a logical path. Clever to prank his own son. Of course for the sake of being able to glue Yudi and Yuna to be more friendly.
It was common for both Yudi and Yuna, art workers never felt bullied. But when they see extraordinary works of art, they will focus on enjoying the artwork. For Yudi, maybe seeing Borobudur Temple is no longer counted. But for Yuna, this was the first time she had witnessed the wonders of the world. There will be many questions asked. And Yudi, be ready to explain.
"Young, amazing .... This is really amazing, Yudi." Yuna said to Yudi while surrounding Borobudur Temple.
"Borobudur Temple, built in the eighth century. A time that has not yet known modern technology. But they were able to create buildings with extraordinary architects. Look at the background, it's so unbelievably beautiful. Ornaments, sculptures of Buddhist statues, and reliefs are plastered on the walls of rupadatu" said Yudi who showed the beauty of Borobudur Temple to Yuna.
"I was impressed by the architecture. What an amazing architecture." Yuna who clucked in awe, while shaking her head.
"Look at, Borobudur Temple has three levels that symbolize the cosmology of Mahayana Buddhism, namely the bottom, our place, called kamadhatu or foot of the temple, then the middle one is called rupadhatu or temple body, and the top one is called arupadhatu" Yudi explained.
"What does it mean? How's the history? Really, I want to understand." said Yuna who had held Yudi's arm.
"The level of kamadatu describes human life in a world full of ugliness, lust, and sin. The vices of man are displayed in the lowest relief. That is to say, when man struggles with evil passions, he will not attain nirvana." Yudi explained the relief of kamadatu to Yuna, while surrounding the bottom ornament.
"Hemm, so we must do good, can't indulge, so that we can enter nirvana." said Yuna.
"Righs. To achieve nirvana, we must cross the rupadhatu, which symbolizes the life of humans who have been free from lust, although still tied to things that are worldly. We still have a family, need a house, need to eat a drink, need clothes and need everything else to fulfill life." explained Yudi.
"Hemm means we have to do good. Do right, don't wrong." said Yuna.
"Rubber. Meanwhile, the top level is arupadhatu, which symbolizes religious life. This level describes the life of a human who has reached perfection for daring to leave life
worldly. In this section there is no relief, because people who already have a religious nature, they do not want things that are worldly anymore. His life was solely to serve and serve the One Supreme. No more thinking about the world. Very rarely people who reach this level, especially today, have become direct officials of corruption." explained Yudi again.
"Don't reach arupadhatu, it can be until the rupadhatu alone is great. Many people are concerned with worldly life." - Yudi.
"Yudi, is there a relief of love carved on the walls of Borobudur? Is there a love relief?" yuna asked with a seductive smile.
"Of course .... Sure exists. But we must sort out, love based on lust, drawn on the reliaf kamadhatu. It's forbidden. Look at the reliefs found in this kamadhatu. This love treatment is all a bad deed. Let's not copy. But for true love, it's okay. Love based on affection, love based on kindness, love that is not due to mere lust. Take a look at the relief of love drawn on the walls of this statue. This relief depicts the love story between Queen Kinari and Prince Sudhana. A sacred love story will give birth to the good of mankind. Sacred Love." explained Yudi, while showing the reliance of Queen Kinari's romance with Prince Sudhana on the stone wall.
"Hehem .... I'm really impressed. I'm very impressed. Yudi ..., is there a relief of love for me carved in your heart, Yudi? True love." asked Yuna who directly pierced Yudi's heart.
Yudi fell silent, unable to answer. Fear of being mistaken to speak words. Between yes and no. Is it true that Yuna asked seriously, or was she just joking.
"How, Yudi? Why are you silent?" ask Yuna.
"Yuna .., now I ask, is there a relief of love carved into your heart? Is there a relief of love in your heart? Love for me." Yudi turned Yuna's question.
Yuna is also silent. It must be the same feeling as Yudi. Afraid to speak the truth of his heart. Then Jemari Yuna felt the relief of the walls of Borobudur Temple. Rupadhatu wall. The smooth and white lentic fingers, continue to stroke the reliefs depicting the love story of Queen Kinari and Prince Sudhana.
Yudi noticed Yuna's hand stroking the relief of the love of Queen Kinari and Prince Sudhana. Slip each relief curve. Yudi realized, if Yuna wanted to express her feelings as well as the feelings that Queen Kinari had towards Prince Sudhana. Then Yudi took Yuna to the last step of the stairs. Arupadhatu room.
"Yuna .., look at this. This is the arupadhatu area. Empty, empty, nothing. There is no relief at all. If we are able to empty the space of our hearts, surely our love will be more eternal, because it is not bound by worldly desires." said Yudi showed a large empty stupa, without a statue in it. Then he went to the sculpted stupa, then put Yuna's hand into the stupa.
"What is it?" yuna asked who complied as her hand was put into the stupa by Yudi.
Then Yudi also put his hand into the stupa. They put their hands in the stupa.
"There is a belief in the people in Borobudur, if he can put his hand into a stupa that has a statue of Buddha, and can touch the hand of the Buddha who is meditating, then his request will be granted. Try Yuna, touch the hand of the Buddha statue, which the community calls Kunto Bimo, then if it has been reached, ask what Yuna wants. Believe it or not. This is people's belief" said Yudi who had also inserted his arm.
"Okey, I believe." said Yuna, then put her hand as deep as possible, to reach the Buddha.
After a moment of effort, the two of them managed to hold onto Kunto Bimo.
"How, Yuna?" ask Yudi.
"i can't. Yes, I can. I've succeeded. I can reach." said Yuna who was happy.
"What did Yuna ask for?" ask Yudi.
"I ask to wake up the relief of love in the recesses of Yudi's heart. Hmm, can't you ...?" answer Yuna.
"really?" tanya Yudi wanted to convince.
"Sure. How're you? Yudi asked what?" Yuna asked back.
Yudi approached Yuna. Hugged Yuna's shoulder. As a virgin woman who has passed her age, so feel the loving embrace, Yuna felt very comfortable. Yuna finally put her head on Yudi's chest. Watching Yuna's comfort in her arms, Yudi felt the same vibe in their hearts, the vibe of love that they wanted to combine together.
"Yuna, there's a lot we don't know. Relief at Borobudur Temple is the order of life for mankind. We are just ordinary people who have no power. We can only ask. Hopefully, the reliefs of love described by Queen Kinari and Prince Sudhana, can be a role model for the love of both of us" Yudi replied with gentleness.
"Does that mean Yudi has already carved a relief of love for me?" yuna asked who was getting more heated in Yudi's embrace.
"I hope, the reliefs of love carved in Borobudur Temple, which is on the wall of this rupadhatu, carved in the recesses of our hearts both, with the aim to reach the arupadhatu wall, he said, so that we can reach heaven" Yudi said with a caress of his affection for Yuna.
Of course, Yuna is getting resigned about her love story.
"Jude ...! Let's go home ...! Now that you're hungry, Le ...!" his mother called out to Yudi.
"Yes .., Mbok ..." said Yudi who rushed down to lead Yuna.
