Muara Kasih Single Mother
Agawe Sentosa
Pandu and Ervita are very happy because Mei and Tanto for the first time want to play in Jogja. They looked so excited when they picked them up at the station. Likewise with Indira who is very happy to meet Om and also his Tantenya.
“Home from Mas remote station?” This time Tanto seemed to ask Pandu, asking if his sister-in-law's house was far from the station.
“Lumayan, half an hour anyway .. only if the road weekend in Jogja is jammed, so it can be more than that,” replied Pandu while driving his car.
"Home alone or join Mother, Ma'am?" ask Mei later to Ervita.
"Mas Pandu's house .. I followed Mas Pandu only. Pasrah bongkokan (give everything - in Indonesian) to Mas Pandu," Ervita replied with a laugh.
Pandu smiled, "I follow your Ma instead of May," Pandu replied later.
Mei frowned and asked her sister-in-law again. "What about Mas? The original Jogja was Mas Pandu, while Mbak Ervi came here alone," he replied.
"Yes, I followed your mother. The house I bought and built for Ervi, Indi, and our children later. On behalf of your mother," replied Pandu.
"Seriously Mas?" ask Tanto who doesn't believe.
"Yes, seriously .. Since the first time I met Dinda, I thought about buying a house, later if you are ready to get married, I will give the house to Dinda. The certificate is in Dinda's name, only I keep it," Pandu later told me.
Maybe not many know, but indeed Pandu when feeling like Ervita while diving in and convincing his heart, Pandu bought a housing not far from his parents' house and then renovated it, he said, even Pandu also made Pendopo Joglo which is not so big in front of the house because Ervita once said she liked the house owned by her parents. Finally, the house certificate was behind the name to be Ervita name when Pandu decided to get married. He gave the house as a dowry.
"Basic Cook? How come you never told me" Ervita asked her husband.
"Right, Nda .. sometime I show you. Did I say after our wedding, this house has you, Nda ... cook you forgot anyway?" ask Pandu later.
Ervita smiled and shook her head for a moment. Just leave her husband, and surely for Ervita much God has said in her life. Having a Pandu in life not only closes off the woe, provides an opportunity for Indi to have and feel the affection of a father, and of course economically they are also more stable.
"Well, it has arrived .. to the house of the Father and Mother first well, later new to the house. Say hello to the older one first" said Pandu.
"To the house of Eyang Kakung, Yaah? Wanna see the parakeet for a second, Dad?" ask Indi to her father.
"Yes, can .. let Om Tanto and Aunt Mei kula nuwun first to Eyang," replied Pandu.
Mei and Tanto were also shocked to see the house with Pendopo made of Jepara wood. Looks sturdy, Pendopo combined with the house of the Hadinata family's residence. Then Pandu, invite them to greet his parents first.
"Kula nuwun (excuse me - in Indonesian), Father and Mother, there are these sisters who come," said Pandu while walking in front invite Mei and Tanto to enter the house of his parents.
Bu Tari and Pak Hadinata came out of the house and of course they were happy because this was the first time the Ervita family played to Jogjakarta and to his house. The middle-aged couple seemed to greet and welcome the two.
"Yuh, finally arrived at Jogja Mbak Mei and Husband," said Bu Tari with great pleasure.
"Kula nuwun Bapak and Mama," reply Tanto and Mei changed.
"What's up with Jogja?" ask Ms. Dance again.
"Rail train, Buk .. he said Ms. Ervi if riding a motorcycle in a condition of danger because Solo to Jogja can be stuck and can be more than two hours," reply May later.
Ms. Tari nodded her head, "Yes Mbak .. in the Bogem area, Jogja was jammed Mbak."
"Nggih Bu. .. will be taking the same train as Mas Tanto," replied May.
Chat and then Bu Tari serves warm Tea and also various snacks to be presented to Mei and Tanto. Bu Tari and Mr. Hadinata were delighted that his sister Ervi had come to the house.
"Brothers are just two, Ma'am" Turn Mr. Hadinata asked them.
"Yes Father ... Ervi's eldest brother and I" replied May.
"If in Java it's called Pair Flower, Mbak .. because in the family have two daughters, a pair. If the Father and Mother are the first girls, continue to Pandu. He called it Kendhini Kendhana," Mr. Hadinata explained to them.
Mei nodded her head, "If in Java it is each there is a mention of sir," he replied.
"Yes Mbak .. the important paseduluran that get along well. With the outstretched or that brother who gets along well. The father has proven Mbak, the pillars are really agawe sentosa (the pillars make sentosa). The father with the siblings of the Father who were seven was all in harmony. Finally his life sentosa Mbak .. so also that you teach to Pandu and Mbaknya Pertiwi," the story of Mr. Hadinata.
Good advice from Mr. Hadinata. Indeed there is a saying in the Javanese language that says, "Crah Agawe Bubrah, Rukun Agawe Sentosa," which means that the quarrel makes damaged or cause destruction, rukun make sentosa or sturdy. The saying teaches harmony and peace with family, relatives, and also in social life. If fellow brothers live well together, surely they will not be scattered. Ayem and tentrem life is also an ideal of Javanese life since long ago.
"Sign Mr. .. agreed," replied Tanto there.
"Yes already, it's done. Consider it your own home. Yes, this is his parents' house, Pandu ... Ma'am Mei and Mas Tanto. Sugeng rawuh (welcome - in Indonesian). Later invited to play Pandu ... Indi let it be here," replied Mr. Hadinata again.
"Magih Pak .. later invited Jogja muters, mumpung in Jogja. Where are you going?" ask Pandu to Mei and Tanto.
"Anyway, Mas ... actually that night want to go for a walk in Malioboro buy Angkringan it loh Mas," replied Tanto.
"Byeah" answered Pandu. Then Pandu stared at his Father, "Later tonight Indi could be sir? Want to take the brothers to Malioboro" said Pandu.
Ms. Tari and Mr. Hadinata nodded their heads, "Can ... India tonight at Eyang's house?"
"Yes, watch Parakeet with Eyang Kakung" Indi replied.
"Like Parakeets, Ma'am May ... This indi. He said it was funny, it sounded like that tweet," said Mr. Hadinata who laughed because Indi was like himself who liked Parakeets.
"Funny sir," replied May.
Mei and Tanto also feel happy because the Pandu family is very good, and can provide wise advice. Ervita was considered a daughter in her father-in-law's house. So is Indi who is accepted and loved as his own grandson. Mei who was looking just felt overwhelmed.
