Senior Junior Love Romance

Time passes without feeling, tomorrow morning Muslims will celebrate the Eid al-Fitr Day. Early this morning Mother Dewi had gone to the market with Rendra escorted to shop ketupat sleeve, chicken village and ground beef. They deliberately left early so as not to run out of ketupat shells, because a little noon must have been no seller who sold it.

It has become a tradition in their family every lebaran must be Mother Goddess makes ketupat and cook opor kampung chicken and fried sambal kreni krecek. If in the past when they were small and lived in the village, they made their own ketupat shells, but because now it is difficult to get janur (young coconut leaves), they make their own shells, they buy ketupat shells that are widely sold in the market before Lebaran.

After returning from the market to take her mother and put the groceries in the kitchen, Rendra looked for Dita in the room but she did not find the figure of his wife. Then he went upstairs, apparently his wife was drying clothes there. He quietly approached his wife and hugged Dita from behind.

“Astaghfirullah Mas, make a shock aja.” Dita held her chest that was pounding fast.

Rendra gave a small laugh as she continued to hug Dita. “I miss,” whispered.

“Mas ih, freelance. Shame to see Nisa or Mbak Shasha.”

“Not going, they're still sleeping.” Rendra tightened his embrace, he enjoyed the fragrance of Dita's hair. Because in his house there is no man other than Rendra, so Dita does not wear a hijab while in the house.

“I'm still not finished drying this outfit, Mas.”

“In the meantime, I'm still kangen.”

“Iya .. but this will not be finished - finished I dried it if Mas rich gini.”

“Here I help you sunbathe to finish quickly, and we can be alone in the room.” Rendra took off her embrace and took out the clothes that were about to be sun-dried. They end up drying both clothes, but not Rendra's name if not tempting Dita. Should be a sun show can be finished faster but instead become longer.

Finished drying clothes, Rendra took Dita into the room. They sit on the bed while leaning on the headboard (bedback). Rendra's left hand held Dita's arm, while his right hand held her.

“Tomorrow we are not together, I will miss you very much, dear.” Rendra kissed Dita's back.

“And just a day 'No see, Mas.” Dita looked over, looking at Rendra.

For the sake of obeying the wishes of parents, before the marriage contract they will live separately. Yeah, the cool terms they're pinching. Tomorrow Dita will stay at her father's house, while Rendra will stay at her mother's house. They will meet again after the marriage contract, 3 days.

“Kan, I'm going to sleep by myself.” Rendra plays Dita's fingers, she's like a child sulking asking for toys.

Dita smile. “Then also Mas slept alone.”

“Eh .. but I haven't felt your embrace before, sweetheart. Now where can I sleep without hitting you.”

“Gombal ih. Just hug me, consider it me.”

“Yes are different, darling. If you're gonna hug and kiss can reply, if the bolster can't.”

Dita giggled at hearing Rendra's words. "Can't still call, Mom."

"But just hear the sound, can't see, touch, hug you."

"It's just a day, Mom. After that we will both continue." Dita caressed Rendra's face with her free hand.

Rendra closed her eyes, enjoying every touch of Dita on her face. Record this sweet moment in his brain.

"Mas, go outside yuk."

Rendra opened her eyes, she frowned. "Where are you going?"

"Outside, help mama cook."

"Mama cook usually finish Zuhur, you do not help nothing. Mama will understand. We'll enjoy both of our time."

"Eh .. Yeah don't be so. I don't feel good about not helping my mom."

"So Shasha and Nisa helped me. You're here just like me."

"Why do we keep doing all day in the room?"

"There's a lot we can do. Rich now we can talk, can sleep. If fasting will sleep instead berahala than we sin. We can continue to prepare our clothes that will be brought to my father's house. Many right?"

"Yes, I'm ready for the clothes that I want to bring, let me arrange them in the suitcase."

"No, later. I still miss you, honey." Rendra.

"Yes .. yes .. now I'm satisfied with me." Kekeh Dita slowly.

"Aren't you the same as me?" Rendra frowned while looking at Dita.

"It's customary, Mom. I see you every day. Sleep together."

"But we're not sleeping with you tomorrow. Did you miss my hug .. hummm." Rendra held Dita's chin.

"I haven't been that darling yet, Mas. Don't know tomorrow."

"You're actually love is not the same as me. There's no romance to my wife." Rendra pinched the tip of Dita's nose with anxiety.

"If I don't love where I might accept the proposal, Mas. Never doubt my feelings, even if I'm not good at expressing and expressing love." Reveal Dita while cupping Rendra's face.

They kept talking about a lot of things until they fell asleep. They just woke up when the prayer reminder app on Rendra's device rang. Rendra rushes to get up, then takes wudu and wears a cocoa shirt and sarong. After that he went to the mosque.

Dita also immediately took the wudu and then performed Zuhr prayer in the room. Finished prayers, praying and tidying up the prayer equipment, Dita came out of the room. He headed straight for the kitchen, approaching the Mother Goddess.

"It's okay, it's just starting. Surely Rendra's got you in the room, right?"

"He .. yes Ma," Dita blushed with embarrassment.

"The boy did. You are patient to face the mother's child. If there's a wish it must be a piss."

"Yes, Ma. What can I do for Ma?"

"Will it go away?"

"Can Ma, used to also often help mother really.'

"Fill two-thirds of the shell."

"Yes Ma. Where's Ma?"

"It's near the sink."

"It's been washed, Ma?" Dita pointed the rice over the container.

"It's been soaked for 1 hour. It's been drained. Oya, janurnya do not forget to close when filling the rice so as not to come out the rice."

"Ready, Ma."

Shasha and Nisa join the kitchen to help their mother. Nisa helps round up ground meat for fried sambal. Shasha help peel and smooth the seasonings. Rendra also helped Dita put rice into the ketupat shell after returning from the mosque. The five of them worked together in the kitchen while chatting and joking.

After the rhombus shell is filled with all the rice, then put in a large pot. Then hot water is poured into the pot until the entire water soaks the rhombus, then cooked for 2 to 3 hours until the rhombus is solid.

In order for ketupat not to quickly stale and watery, after the ketupat mature perfectly, Mother Goddess immediately raised the rhombus and watered with cold water. This process is to clean the mucus from the fungus attached to the ripe rhombus. At once remove the dirt on the remaining ketupat boiled water. After that the rhombus is drained until it is completely dry on a container split like a slap that can drain the remnants of water.

They finished cooking ahead of Azan Magrib. Shasha and Dita then prepare a drink to break the fast.

"Alhamdulillah," said Rendra as soon as Azan Magrib reverberated. "Bismil was bornrahmanirrahim" he continued before drinking the iced milk watermelon that was made by Dita and Shasha.

After drinking to break the fast he prayed.

ذَهَبَ الظَّمَأُ، وابْتَلَّتِ الْعُرُوقُ، وثَبَتَ اْلأَجْرُ إِنْ شَاءَاللهُ

“Dzhabazh zhoma’u wabtallatil ‘uruqu wa tsabatal ajru insya Allah.” (1)

(Have lost thirst, has wetted the esophagus, may there be a prescribed reward, if Allah wills)

Rendra then ate three dates afterwards. Then he went to the mosque to pray Magrib and pay his family zakat fitrah.

اللهُ أكْبَرُ اللهُ أكْبَرُ اللهُ أكْبَرُ، لا إِلهَ إِلاَّ اللهُ واللهُ أكْبَرُ اللهُ أكْبَرُ وَِللهِ الحَمْدُ

"Allaahu akbar, Allaahu akbar, Allaahu akbar, laa illaa haillallahuwaallaahuakbar, Allaahu akbar wallillaahil hamd."

(God is great, Allah is great, Allah is great. There is no God but Allah, Allah is great, Allah is great and praise be to Allah.)

The sound of takbir echo began to reverberate everywhere. Make the heart that hears vibrate and full to welcome the day of victory.

...---oOo---...

This morning the Rendra family attended Eid al-Fitr prayers in North Square of Jogja. By wearing uniform clothes, they leave early in the morning from home in order to get a place to pray and car park, because usually there will be many people who participate in prayer there, if it's a little late it won't get a place.

After the Eid prayer, they went home and forgave each other. Then eat the lebaran dishes together.

In the afternoon, the Rendra family took turns to the family of Pak Wijaya, all of you deliver Dita who from today will stay there for three days.

Since waking up earlier, Rendra has always been attached to Dita, not wanting to be far from his wife. Taken to feel sad because it is always followed anywhere. Even sitting should always be side by side while holding hands. Eating also wants a plate together and ask to be fed to Nisa and Shaha.

When it was time for Rendra and Dita to separate. Dita escorted Rendra to the side of the car door. Rendra hugged Dita tightly.

"Don't forget to pray, eat. Don't worry me. Don't see or talk to Reza anymore."

"Yes, Mum."

"I love you, My Love. I'm gonna miss you." Rendra kissed Dita's forehead long while continuing to hug her.

"Sister Rendra hunted, we will return home later." Nisa shouted from inside the car.
