Dakon Dolanan
After a few days passed, presumably this time Ervita had a desire for very strange cravings. What he wants is not food like Brambang Asem, which Ervita wants is actually a toy area that is now so rare existence, namely Dakon or in Indonesian called Congklak.
"Dad, I want something," Ervita's pinta now to her husband.
Pandu smiled there, "What do you think of Dinda? If so you're like Indi deh," he replied by pinching Ervita's nose because of anxiety.
"Beliin Dakon dong Mas. Want no?" pinta Ervita to her husband.
"Ngidam this time is super strange and everything is in local zeal. well .. previously there was Brambang Asem and Lotisan, now Dakon. Who are you playing with?" ask Pandu.
"Main Yayah dong .. can you not?" tanyakanya.
Pandu increasingly laughs there, "Can dong. Yes, although not too good. You want Dakon who is plastic in Malioboro Market or wooden ones, which look like Javanese in ancient times?" tanyakanya.
"The wooden Mas .. I had seen in the Keraton Solo museum was Dakon made of wood and the tip was a dragon head. Serem ya Mas," he replied.
"Yes, it used to be a pity .. now from wood, without dragon carvings there is also a kok," replied Pandu.
"Buyin ya Yayah" Ervita's pinta.
Pandu nodded his head, "Okay .. what the hell did not make Dindaku .. but later tonight I took to Andromeda ya Dinda," he said.
Ervita seemed to frown, "To the Galaxy?" tanyakanya.
"Yes, Swargaloka we close first .. switch to Andromeda," replied Pandu.
"Okay, who's afraid," Ervita replied.
Pandu certainly feel happy because Ervita looks so excited and also want to take her to Andromeda. Therefore, Pandu intends to find Dakon or Congklak for Ervita.
***
Two days interval ....
Pandu actually bought Congklak or Dakon for his wife. He deliberately visited a traditional toy store in Jogjakarta. Congklak purchased by Pandu is made of wood and painted brown so that it seems so unique and ethnic of course.
"Sir, this is what makes you crave," said Pandu by handing over the wood congklak.
"Weh, have you got Mas? Very good ... yuk, dolanan dakon yuk Mas," he asked Ervita.
"May .. promise well, the night to Andromeda," Pandu replied with a laugh.
Congklak or Dakon is a traditional Javanese toy made of wood and a dragon head at the end. There are five or seven barns (holes) lined up. Each player is entitled to his barn and one large barn. The way to play it is two players sit facing each other, then the small barns are filled with quacks or black granules as small as five or seven according to the number of small granaries.
Ervita seemed so excited to fill the barns with seeds and quacks, after which they made a deal together. Who plays first, meanwhile, if the last one stops in the hole containing the quwuk, then the player can take all the quwuk in the last hole, and continue the game. If the last one stops in an empty hole, he dies. Thus, the opponent also gets a turn to play with the provisions.
"You go first Dinda" said Pandu who invited Ervita to play first.
That is to say that now the last Iwuk stopped by shooting, then the granary in front of him that belonged to him. Meanwhile, if the shoulder, are two granaries on the right and left side will be his on condition that the kuwuk stop in the barn of the opponent.
"Just shoot ... I like to shoot you," Pandu replied in such an absurd manner.
Start Ervita take the first barn and start playing kuwuk by filling one by one barn, a few minutes passed and Ervita still playing.
"Well, you are very good at Dinda .. I can just stay in coffee first dong this," replied Pandu.
Ervita also laughed there, "Lha how, can still play og .. patience yes Dad," he replied.
"Yes important Bumil happy," replied Pandu.
Until finally, Ervita finished the game and almost wiped out Pandu's barn. Then Pandu also seemed to think and count. Because, the game of Dakon is also related to the odds that we have.
"Gosh, how is this .. Your barn is full. While mine just not yet loh," reply Pandu.
"Heheheheh .. jago ya Mas" replied Ervita.
"Yes, really .. your temperature, Nda," replied Pandu again.
Finally, Pandu tried to play as much as he could. Until both of them finish the game with Ervita as the winner.
"Well, my bar is burning ... lose, Nda," replied Pandu.
Ervita laughed, "Lose or win will it remain to Andromeda, right Mas?" reply Ervita.
"Surely you want?" tanyakanya.
"Slow down, if you are too excited to feel sorry for her dedek," replied Ervita by lowering her face.
Pandu laughed and began singing songs when he was a child.
