“Your monthly guest has turned out to be over darling.”

“Iya kang, alhamdulillah earlier dawn also I was clean but still hesitant, so I prayed alone was dawn in the room, when I was with Sabrina was praying dawn.”

“I love you Jess.”

“I am also kang, I am very happy when I am with akang, but it feels incomplete if Sabrina is not on our side.”

“Jess you smell the smell of cooking ?”

“Iya kang, apparently already done tuh cooknya, I dandan yaa kang, I just meet them first.”

“OK I wait at the dinner table, don't wait a long time baby. Cup.” Said Nata who was still wearing a scabbard and left Jessy in her room.

“Ohhh Aden just finished Prayer ?” Tanya Bi Eha.

“Iya Bi, just the same my wife Prayer.”

“Great Aden mah always disciplined, cong dur directly take ablution, hehehe.”

“Aibi is already praying ?”

“But not den, just finished helping cook the same Bi Endah, tuh Bi Endah is finishing making his goang sambal.”

“Iya deh, hemm really fragrant cuisine, call Mang Inv, Mang Dudung same Mang Sobri yaa Bi, we have lunch together.”

“They have not returned from the mosque den.”

“Ohhh, means the Adzan in the mosque Mang Dudung dong ?”

“Hehehe yes den, as usual. Yes already, I want to pray first yaa den, just wait a minute, they will not nginep in Masjid kok.” Said Bi Eha while wandering off to the back of the house, heading to her room.

“Hahaha, basic bi Eha mah.”

“Kok not yet on kang collection ?” Ask Jessy.

“Iya Mang Invite, Mang Dudung same Mang Sobri pray in the Mosque, we just wait a moment.”

“I'll get you a drink first then, the kitchen is there right kang ?”

“Yes, there is Bi Endah also ngulek sambal.”

“OK” Jessy answered briefly, then she stepped into the kitchen. Meet Bi Endah who is kneading sambal in the kitchen.

“Bi, can you borrow the glass ?”

“Ehh Neng Jessy, let's be same Aunt neng.”

“Don't Bi, let me just drink water anyway, it's my duty to serve my husband and again Auntie will have cooked.”

“Ohhh yes Neng, the glass is the usual blue color in Den Nata.”

“Ohh this yaa Bi, Kang Nata here used to drink tea water yaa ?”

“Iya Neng, her tea is naturally picked from her own garden, which her shoots take only.”

“Ohhh deserves a different taste, other than the usual, more fragrant, fresh and delicious, similar to tea from Japan.”

“Indeed his great-grandfather Nata was given his tea tree seeds from Japan Neng.”

“Wah Serious Bi ? it was like drinking tea from Japan. Thank you Bi.” Jessy then brought two mugs for Nata and herself to the dining table.

“Sama-sama Neng.”

“Duh beautiful Neng Jessy, it is so good and friendly also the person.” Guman Bi Endah then brought a cobek containing sambal that he had just dulueknya, following Jessy.

“Know you the glass commonly used by me here.”

“Kan was told the same Bi Endah, Kang. I choose a mug that is pink, this likes to be used the same who used to be ?”

“That glass belongs to my late mother.” Nata answered immediately in the face of his mother Almarhumah.

“Ohhh sorry, I changed deh.”

“Don't love, let's just say that you are now acquainted with my mother, later after our lunch to their tomb yaa.” Nata's face instantly changed, becoming sad.

“Where is his grave?”

“That's behind this house, there is a garden and a special family tomb, later remind me to bring the water that I have provided earlier in my room to water the graves of Father and Mother.”

“Iya kang, akang don't be sad dong.”

“No, I'm not sad, I just remember them both.”

“Kang later can ga when we are at the tomb, I record it I continue to send also to Sabrina ?”

“By honey, but you don't cry there yaa.”

“I try kang.” Jessy hugged the husband she loved so much.

“New bride mah, cuddle wae yeuuh.” Mang Dudung surprised Nata and Jessy, Mang Dudung who had just returned from the Mosque, he was still wearing his scabbard, accompanied by Mang Inv and Mang Sobri.

“Come Mang Invite, Mang Dudung same Mang Sobri, we eat together.”

“Siap Den, even though eating first is okay kok.” Mang Sobri.

“So that more delicious, Bi Endah same Bi Eha also invite, we eat together.”

“Bi Endah is praying first, just changed with me Den.” Reply Bi Eha who just joined the dining table.

“Ohhh yes already, we just start then.”

“Ehhh kang, this tea is similar to tea from Japan, said Bi Endah he said the seeds were from Japan.”

“Where is the tree ?”

“Tuh on the hill there, why ?”

“Ohhh there, ga what, just nanya doang anyway, because the tea taste is fragrant, very fresh, natural like tea was Japan.”

“Besok Mamang bring you, Neng Jessy same Aden want to stay here right?” Ask Mang Dudung.

“Iya, but tomorrow morning we want to go to Cipatujah first, then come back here again after from there.”

“Come ahhh we eat first, hungry nih.” Nata said and then led a meal prayer, after that they also ate tutug oncom rice with dishes in the form of fried tilapia, various vegetables and crackers. It is true that it is more enjoyable to eat together than to eat alone. Evidently the oncom tutug rice as many as two baskets were eaten by seven people in the house.

“Alhamdulillah enjoy where else you lie. Hehehe.” Kekeh Mang Sobri while rubbing his stomach that was full. Everyone who was in the dining room was now laughing hearing and seeing the hilarious behavior of Mang Sobri.

“I want to go to the tomb first, later please prepare the trail motor, I'm the same Jessy want to the tea tree garden hill.”

“Siap Den, later Mamang prepare the Motor from Warehouse.” Answer Mang Dudung.

Nata and Jessy enter Nata's room to bring prayer water in a bottle that Nata had prepared in her room, Jessy carrying an empty flower basket, not to forget they brought Nata and Jessy's cell phone. While walking towards the tomb Nata also plucked some roses, dahlias and jasmine that were along the road leading to the family tomb. Nata and Jessy sit in front of the tomb of a pair of adjoining tombs, Nata and Jessy sitting cross-legged on grass like a tapestry in the family tomb complex.

“Father and Mother, this Nata came with one of my two wives Jessy, Sabrina can not come along, because there is a fetus prospective grandchildren from Father and Mother.” Nata said then gripped Jessy's palm and directed at the tombstone to also rub it. After that Nata recited some of the Holy Verses of the Qur’an and said do’a for Father and Mother, then took turns sprinkling flowers and splashing water in the navel of Father and Mother. After that moved to two other pairs of tombs, namely the tomb of Grandma and Grandpa on the side of Nata's Father and Mother. Do the same thing as you do in your mom and dad's.

“Ohh so this is the grave of Grandpa and Grandma of Kang Nata.”

“Iya darling.”

“May her grave be explained, kept away from the torment of the grave and gathered with us later in heaven. Aamiin.” Jessy.

“Aaamin ya robbal ‘alamiin.”

Nata and Jessy then leave the family tomb, heading to the warehouse. There it has been seen Mang Dudung is lighting and heating the dirt motor that will be used by Jessy and Nata.

“The motor is ready Den, gasoline is fully charged.” Mang Dudung.

“Thank you Mang, I ask you please keep this flower basket and bottle back in my room.”

“Mangga Den's. Liver in the way, a lot of moss in the hills.”

“Iya Mang.“ Nata answered and Jessy was riding in the back seat, piggybacked by Nata, with Nata slowly starting to drive the dirt bike.

“Indeed if you use a car can not kang ?”

“Your car is too wide, later berets hit by tree branches on the right left of the road, because the road fits perfectly for one small car.”

“Ohhh so.” Jessy then hugged her waist tighter and tighter Nata.

“A long time ago I was not piggybacked by a motor like this, exciting also kang.”

“You're happy Jess ?”

“Of course kang, especially if the same akang diboncengnya.”

“Ihhh amused, do not while kissing my neck dong.” Nata Whine.

“Hehehe, I love the same akang.”  Say Jessy in Japanese.

“Sama-sama Jessy my wife.” Nata also speaks Japanese.

“Ehhh akang apparently can speak Japanese.”

“At least, it was in my campus also many students of Japanese descent, they also I teach Indonesian.”

“Ohhh yes.”

The road on the plantation is now getting uphill and narrowed, sure enough if they drive a car, there must be a lot of berets in Jessy's Yellow Rubicon car.

“Snarrow really up here, still far away kang ?”

“In a moment, about one kilometer more, now you hold Jess tighter, because in front of there a rocky road a lot of moss, very slippery.”

“Iya more humid now the way, cold start also nih.” Said Jessy while further tightening the grip on Nata's stomach. Nata was more careful when passing through the slippery rocky road because it was coated with moss, with full concentration Nata tried to balance the rate of the trail bike. After going through a rocky road full of moss, Nata stopped for a moment.

“Tuh see our house down there.”

“Wow cool very scenic kang.”

“Later home we detour, through the highway that is often used by truck transport of plantation products.”

“Why didn't you pass there kang ?”

“Away the way Jess. Almost half an hour through there.”

“Ohhh so.”

“This is his tea garden.”

“What is true can not be picked in the afternoon kang ?”

“Iya, he said later the quality of the tea so less good, although we are the same picking the shoots as well.”

“If in China, Korea and in Japan picking it can only be two months in a year.”

“Iya if in the country of four seasons it is so, can only pick in the spring only, we must be grateful to live in Indonesia, there will be no shortage of food from plants because a year can harvest up to four times, some can even five times. If in the country of four seasons can only harvest once a year.”

“Alhamdulillah ya kang.”

“Iya. We go down first now, while enjoying this bright afternoon air.” Nata said then got off his bike and hugged Jessy who was cold.

“Enak warm when hugging and hugged equally akang. Hihahi. Cup.” Jessy said and then kissed Nata's cheek.
