After the shower and dawn prayers, Dita began packing her clothes and supplies into her suitcase. Meanwhile, Rendra finished packing the souvenirs that yesterday had been partially packed into the cardboard.
After breakfast at the hotel, they were picked up to their last destination in Lombok before returning to Jogja. Their flight is during the day, so in the morning they will visit one of the tourist villages in Lombok, namely Bonjeruk Village.
Bonjeruk tourist village is located in Jonggat District, Central Lombok Regency. This tourist village offers the natural beauty of the village with fruit gardens and rice fields. Activities that are often done by visitors are cycling and camping here.
Bonjeruk Village is also a historic village because it was once the center of Dutch East Indies government. Here there is a former office building of Jonggat District in the Dutch era that is still standing. In addition there is the residence of Lalu Serinata, Head of Jonggat District, known as Gedeng Beliq (Big House), which was built in 1933. Raden Nuna Umas Mosque was built in the 1800s.
Rendra and Dita were invited to explore the rice field, see the Ten Ten market (the market that is not it on a certain day), the Kokoh Dalem waterfall and also the Ancient Cliffs. After that they see the traditional coffee processing process there. As a coffee barista of course Rendra is very interested in everything about coffee.
The typical coffee there is roast coffee. There are three types of roast coffee, namely sand roast coffee, cinnamon roast coffee, and rice roast coffee. The three coffees have different aromas, depending on the process of roasting along with what ingredients.
Rendra is very serious about looking at the whole process of processing coffee in that traditional way. First the coffee beans are roasted first with a skillet. The process of roasting coffee beans is only roasting coffee beans, some are roasted along with rice, sand or cinnamon. If the coffee beans roasted using sand will get a more even ripeness.After roasting, the coffee beans are then mashed by pounding in a pestle made of wood. Furthermore, coffee powder can be directly brewed or packed into containers.
After tasting all the flavors of his coffee, Rendra bought all kinds of coffee sold there, even buying the raw coffee beans. He will later try to process it himself in the cafe, who knows it could be a new menu that will be one of the best sellers. Basic Rendra, his business brain still running despite being on a honeymoon. He even asked for the contact of one of the managers there.
After seeing the coffee processing process, Rendra and Dita ordered the Begibug Package (1) ala Bonjeruk. The menu consists of chicken merangkat (2), sate kuncung (3), vegetable ares (4), vegetable moringa leaves, anrap cucumber, beberuk (lansule) and cengeh (5). In addition, there is also a team of fish that is seasoned and steamed by using banana leaves. Chicken raising is a dish that is usually served to both prospective brides during the wedding procession ceremony in Bonjeruk Village. .
In addition to raising chickens there is a typical snack Bonjeruk Village is serabi. This serabi is cooked on an iron skillet with small circles. This serabi is served with black sticky rice, with coconut grated appendages and also brown sugar liquid.
Rendra and Dita sit in Lesehan while waiting for food to be served. From there they could see the organic farming area managed by the village farm youth. They also ordered a chicken lift and a package of begawe to take home as souvenirs.
After eating, they left Bonjeruk Village and headed straight for the airport. Travel from Bonjeruk Village to the airport for approximately 30 minutes. Their plane took off at 13:20 and landed in Denpasar at 14:16. Transit for 35 minutes, then fly again to Jogja at 14:50 and arrive at Jogja airport around 15:30. They do not book direct flights because the flight is too early. So they take flight schedules that transit is not too long.
They were picked up again by representatives from Tour & Travel agents to be escorted back to Rendra's house. They stopped by Pak Wijaya's house for souvenirs before heading to Rendra's house. They had just arrived home before the Azan Magrib.
The return of Rendra and Dita was welcomed by Mother Goddess and Nisa because Shasha still did not come home from the office. Nisa was impatiently waiting for the souvenirs her brother brought to make Mother Goddess reprimand him. At least let the two brothers clean up and rest for a while before opening their luggage.
Rendra and Dita then went into the room. Rendra put the suitcase near the bed, then lay down on the bed.
“Mas, shower first do not fall. Soon Magrib loh,” reprimand Dita.
“Five minutes only, Darling.” Rendra remained in his position.
“There are not five minutes-five minutes, later Mas overslept. Come wake up Mas, keep bathing.” Dita pulled Rendra's arm to get her husband up.
But Rendra's energy is certainly stronger than Dita, instead of Rendra waking up from his sleep even Dita who fell on Rendra's body. Made Rendra hug him.
“I wake up, but we take a shower together ya.” Rendra blinked one eye.
"Udah wants Magrib Mas, later Mas is late to the mosque."
"In fact, the bath is long, people just take a shower. Or you yeah who wants more than a shower." Rendra again teases Dita.
"Mas, uh." Dita tries to escape from Rendra's embrace.
"Kiss here first, I'll take a shower."
Pt .... Dita kissed the lightning of her husband's lips.
Rendra smiled triumphantly, then let go of Dita. He got up from his sleep to the bathroom. While passing Dita who was taking off her hijab, she whispered. "Later tonight I want you."
Rendra kissed Dita's cheek before entering the bathroom. Dita's face flushed hearing Rendra's whisper earlier. Her husband never seemed to feel tired even though every day they did it more than once.
Refocused themselves. After removing the hijab, she opened the suitcase and collected the dirty clothes in the basket. He'll soak those dirty clothes and wash them tomorrow morning.
Dita also prepared a change of clothes for Rendra that was placed on the bed. Rendra came out of the bathroom using only a towel wrapped around her lower body. A perfectly formed stomach and dense muscles were clearly exposed in front of Dita.
"I'll take a shower, Mom." He immediately turned his face and went into the bathroom. He leaned behind the door as soon as he was inside the bathroom. He held his chest that was pounding. Although they had seen each other's plain bodies, but seeing the muscles and stomach Rendra had still made him misbehave.
Rendra who was in the small laughing room saw Dita who became wrong. He deliberately swallowed his chest in front of Dita. Teasing his wife and making her misbehave become his new hobby now.
After Isha's prayer, Rendra opened the souvenirs they brought in the middle room. He began to sort out the gifts that would be given to anyone. Dita also gives pearl jewelry that she bought for Mother Goddess, Shasha and also Nisa.
After the event divided souvenirs and told about their experiences while in Lombok, they all decided to rest because the night was getting late.
"Mas, are you going to college tomorrow?" Dita asked as they were already lying on the bed, preparing to go to sleep.
"Yes, you want to come?" Rendra tucked Dita's hair behind her ear.
"Follow to the campus, yes, we're going to the cafe. I want to make coffee from Lombok."
"It can't be at home, Mom."
"The tool is incomplete, dear."
"I followed to the cafe wearing ojol, Mas."
"Why?"
"Later Mas long on campus, I keep saying that Bella doesn't exist? Mending me at the house of beberes."
"Yes, tomorrow I'll pick up if Bella doesn't go to college."
"Ishhh .. less work. Waste of time."
"From you up ojol."
"Emang why if I ride ojol? Usually I ride jol if Mas is busy."
"I'm not busy anymore, honey. So, you wanna come to college or I'll pick you up?" Rendra held Dita's chin.
"Yes, I'm coming to college."
"Well, that's dong. We'll take both of our time as long as possible. And because tonight I'm happy, you give me a bonus."
"What bonus is it?" Dita frowned curiously.
"I'll make you float high many times."
"That's what she wants, Mom." Dita hit Rendra's chest softly in shame.
"You also want to, don't lie." Rendra played both eyebrows.
"What the hell, Mas." Dita's getting blushed.
"I want you right now, My Love." Rendra whispered in Dita's ear while giving a ludicrous and melancholy sensation.
"Mas, don't make a mark on the neck." Pinta Dita before she starts to fall asleep with a touch of Rendra.
