Gudeg Philosophy
Being in his own room which is a little from the hall, there are organizers who come and give snack boxes for Pandu and Ervita. There are at least a few snacks that they enjoy to fill the stomach. Ervita and Pandu also thanked the committee.
"Oh, yes Mas Pandu .. next week get involved again to give a real example of batik business from Hadinata to this student can not?" ask the committee.
"Try later I chat with Mom first yes Mas," replied Pandu.
"Yes, if you can yes Mas .. so students can also know that batik here can also explore the market outside the city of Jogjakarta. Ma'am Ervitanya can be involved again Mas. Thanks yes it was very good and very compact earlier," replied the committee.
There was a glimpse of a smile on Pandu's face, "Yes Mas, because it had been training before. So we can work together, "he said.
After that, Pandu and Ervita chose to enjoy the snack first. Both are still just silent and focused on enjoying the snack provided by the organizer.
"For example, asked again. Next week help again yes, Vi ... can not?" ask Pandu later.
"Ask Mom first yes Mas .. because Indi is not payday. If the nitip to Mom again is also not good," he replied.
"Oh, yes .. later I try to talk to Mom and ask for help to nitip Indi all of you," replied Pandu.
They were both in that place for fifteen minutes. Until, they say goodbye to the committee that is there. Then, Pandu wants to invite Ervita to lunch first before returning home.
"Lunch first yes, Vi," take Pandu.
"Yes Mas .. can," he replied.
Then Pandu drove his car to the Mijilan area. The area is famous as the center of Gudeg in Jogjakarta. Indeed, this Mijilan is located further from the Pandu house. However, if you want Gudeg, then Mijilan is a place to visit.
"Cock towards the Keraton, Mas?" asked Ervita who was feeling quite confused.
"Yes, to Mijilan, Vi. Gudeg centers are in Mijilan, and also in Barek. There is a Gudeg made from Manggar" replied Pandu.
"That coconut flower that's?" ask Ervita.
"Yes, the flowers of the coconut can be made Gudeg as well. Ever tried?" ask Pandu.
Ervita shook her head, "Not ..I've even heard now that there's a Gudeg Manggar" she replied.
"Sometimes I take you to Barek, so you can try Gudeg Manggar."
Ervita just smiled, "No need Mas Pandu, later even troublesome. Ervi was a lot of trouble Mas Pandu and family," he replied.
"It's okay, Vi .. people live to help each other. If I can still help as long as I can, I will help as much as I can" Pandu replied.
In the Mijilan area, Pandu stopped his car at one of Gudeg's sellers there. He invites Ervita to come down and orders two servings of Gudeg for her and for Ervita. Do not forget to order two glasses of warm tea that they will drink together.
"You know Gudeg's philosophy Vi?" ask Pandu later.
"No Mas .. There is a philosophy behind this delicious food well?" tanyakanya.
Ervita seemed to stop for a moment the clang of the spoon and fork then looked at Mas Pandu. "What is it, Mas? I know this tells the philosophy of the Javanese in general to always be patient because of the very old Gudeg cooking process."
Pandu nodded his head. "That's really. Gudeg cooking is understood to be a perfect reflection of Javanese philosophy that is full of calm, patience and thorough, unhurried and anti-reckless" he explained while occasionally eating Gudeg rice in front of him.
"It turns out that the ancients if making something that was thought of philosophy huh Bin. In Indonesia it is the same. I am sure not only in Jogjakarta or Javanese society in particular, other tribes in our nation also have a high thought and philosophical," replied Ervita.
Pandu then glanced at Ervita, "Maybe there are many lessons that we learn from this food, Vi .. so that we train ourselves to be patient, careful, and not reckless. Maybe in the past, we were wrong a lot, and now reduce the mistakes. In the past, maybe we were less careful, now yes more thorough. The point is to learn from mistakes. For even when we are guilty, we learn to accept the error and to take wisdom from it."
Hearing what was said by Pandu, as if reminding Ervita with her fault first. He is impatient, not meticulous, even reckless. Until the result of his mistake he must also bear his own responsibility.
"Yes Mas .. I also realized that I was wrong a lot in the past. In the time of bearing my faults, yes I was asked to be patient. The school exam may only be guilty for a few days or a week. Only the test of my life will continue, and I knew he was trying to demean me. Thank you very much for the advice, Mas Pandu," replied Ervita.
"It's not for you, Vi .. We all have to be patient. Don't rush into something that tempts our eyes and our faith. Better late, than the end we will regret again," replied Pandu.
"Yes Mas Pandu .. thanks. By the way, Mas Pandu does not have a boyfriend? Mas Pandu is already an adult and also earns his own as well," asked Ervita to the child of the Batik Juragan.
"No Vi .. has been single for three years. Want it later if you are really sure you want to be serious. Just marry directly. Than to be hurt later," replied Pandu.
At first glance Ervita heard that there might be a wound in the heart of Pandu until the handsome young man and his own income was still at home. There is even a desire to get married right away, rather than get hurt.
"When do you get up again?" ask Pandu later.
Ervita smiled bitterly there, "I might not get married, Mas .. focus on raising Indi alone. I'm afraid of a man who might not be a real man right now. Lukaku is too deep, Mas .. somehow until when the wound is still there I also do not know" replied Ervita.
While Ervita herself feels that after falling for a man, she is traumatized by men even having the thought that there may no longer be a truly sincere man. Therefore, Ervita will most likely not marry alone and focus on raising Indira.
"Maybe not yet, Vi .. but, Indira needs a father figure as well," Pandu replied.
Ervita then lowered her face, "I will try to be a Mom and Dad for Indira, Mas .. rather than later I get hurt, it seems that now I do not dare to take risks," Ervita replied.
"If the man is responsible?"
Apparently Pandu is still asking and is also seen waiting for Ervita to give an answer.
"I don't want to, Mas .. He hurt me once enough, rejected me, and made all these misfortunes happen. Even all this time also me and Indi can survive without Firhan. So, I don't want to. I don't want to be reckless anymore" Ervita replied.
