Muara Kasih Single Mother
Procession Demi Procession
At the venue pelaminan with Mount Merapi as the background, it looks Pandu so relieved and happy because it can interfere with Ervita. The woman he now sits with is the woman he has loved for so long. Pandu thought his feelings at that time were just liking and sympathy. But Pandu is wrong. Because, so many days passed, Pandu felt like protecting Ervita and Indira.
The man smiled and caught a glimpse of Ervita sitting bashfully beside him. "You're beautiful, Vi ...."
Hearing the praise delivered softly by the young man who is now her husband, can-can make a blush on Ervita's cheek up some level of brightness. Still the same, Ervita just smiled and shyly coupled with Pandu.
"Makasih Mas" he answered softly.
A little chat that will be conditional praise Pandu throw before starting the procession of their reception held at that time. No need to change with other clothes, because they choose to wear white only on their wedding day. Colors that symbolize purity and sincerity. Indira, who is now with Mei and Tanto, also wears a white dress and batik combination. The girl occasionally waved her hand at Ervita and Pandu who were sitting in the courtyard.
Until finally, the host will start all the procession during the reception by wearing Javanese customs. Pandu is asked to get off the guarantee, then he will be reunited with Ervita. This is called the procession of meeting or calling (Sophisticated in Indonesian means to meet). There was a community leader who delivered the set pambagya harja (speech in the wedding ceremony in Javanese delivered in refined Krama Inggil language), and, and Pandu was followed by a large family standing in front of him.
After the speech was finished, Ervita was helped to stand up and meet the groom. From a distance of several meters, the two brides seemed to throw smiles at each other. Until finally, there are makeup artists and events that give betel leaves to the bride. This procession is called Balang Gantal. Gantal is made with betel leaves filled with banana flowers, betel lime, gambier and black tobacco. This procession is carried out by the bride standing in the direction of the fight and strain throwing gantal. This ritual symbolizes the two brides throwing affection at each other.
The gantal that Pandu and Ervita threw both hit their chests. Adorned with smiles on their faces. The invited guests were also cheering to see the bride who seemed to throw smiles at each other.
Then later, Ervita was helped to walk closer to Pandu, followed by the procession Ngindak Endhog (treading eggs in Indonesian). This procession means the hope of both new partners to get offspring which is a sign of love. In addition, it is also symbolized as the loyalty of the wife to her husband.
Pandu also stepped on the eggs placed in the plastic and stepped on it slowly, until the eggs broke. Then, Ervita poured water with flowers to wash her husband's feet, as a sign of a wife's devotion to her husband.
After the egg stamp procession is complete, the bride and groom will continue with the procession. The fabric of sinuses will be snapped to the bride by Ms. Sri and together guided by Mr. Agus to walk to the pelaminan. This is the hope that the newlyweds are ready to face all the difficulties in life.
By wrapping his hands on Pandu's arms, Ervita also walked steadily towards the pelaminan.
"Handle Vi" Pandu sedu.
"Hmm, yes, Mas" said Ervita, looking down and holding a smile on his face.
After the new kacar kucur custom process, the groom will disburse grains and dime which is symbolized as income. This shows a man is responsible for giving a living to his family.
"Everything I have from my work I will give to you" said Pandu at that time.
Ervita who received it nodded her head, "Chess of Nuwun, Mas," she replied by looking at her husband.
It cannot be explained how solemn the procession for the sake of procession is so full of meaning and philosophy for newlyweds in entering married life.
Then followed by the procession of Devanan or Bribery. Pandu and Ervita seem to feed each other.
"Little bit," Ervita pleaded softly.
The guide who listened to Ervita's words also answered her softly, "Yes," he replied.
After all the procession was completed, and the important invited guests had taken pictures together, apparently Indira also ran up to the pelaminan. I want to go with my mom and dad there.
Not embarrassed, Pandu sat Indira in the middle, between him and Ervita. Indi put his head on Pandu's thigh.
"Didi's father" he said.
"Yes, he is now officially Indi's father. Indi likes?" ask Pandu.
Indira nodded her head, "Love .. vinegar," he replied.
So did Ervita, who rubbed Indira's head. "Now Indi has a Father and Mother. Indi seneng no?" tanyakanya.
"Yes, ceneng ...."
Pandu also smiled, "Dad also seneng," he said by rubbing Indira there.
Maybe a scene like this looks unusual. Because, the bride and groom bring a small child to the guarantee. However, Pandu and Ervita both enjoy it and do not feel burdened.
Especially in the row of invited guests, there was the Firhan family observing the three from afar. If, Bu Yeni looks ordinary, it is not the case with Mr. Ervita who is staring sharply and also looks careless there. While Firhan himself was absent, only his parents were present.
Until when the invited guests gave their greetings and prayers, Pandu and Ervita stood up, while Indi sat in the lewaminan chair. Sometimes Indi's small hands seem to hold Pandu's hands there.
"Happy ...."
"Welcome to a new life ...."
"Miscovering ...."
"May Samawa always ...."
Sincere remarks and prayers flowed from the invited guests. Even Bu Yeni also came forward and gave his prayer. The middle-aged woman seemed to shed her tears while shaking hands with Ervita.
"Hopefully always be happy Mrs Ervi .. forgive our family" he said.
Not only many words, Ervi only gave a faint nod of her head. However, it is seen that Mr. Supri does not give greetings to the two happy brides.
Until finally, at exactly 15:00 all the agreement and reception was over. Pandu and Ervita both sat at the pelaminan and let out a long sigh. Very grateful at last the whole procession and wedding rituals they can live well. Weddings that carry tradition because they believe there are values and treasures that are tucked into every wedding procession they have just lived.
