Season 2 - Ondel - Ondel


Continuing their journey, Khaira, Radit, and Arsyilla are now sitting together in their cup of Monas. There, Khaira chose to sit on the steps, while Radit and Arsyilla were seen looking at the statues in the court of Monas. A number of statues ranging from Gajah Mada, to General Sudirman are located in the courtyard of Monas.


“You just sit here Darling ... don't get too sapped. Let me and Syilla just muter-muter,” he said before circling around Monas with Arsyilla.


Khaira nodded her head, “iya, I wait here. Don't be long yes, be careful.” Then Khaira looked at Arsyilla and hugged her daughter for a moment, “Syilla be careful huh. Do not run around, always hold Papa's hand yes.” message Khaira to her daughter.


“Oke Ma .. wait here yes Ma, Syilla take a walk first yes. Bye Mama.” said Arsyilla as she waved her hand to her mother who was waiting to sit in the cup of Monas.


Khaira seemed to smile at her husband's familiarity with Arsyilla. It looks like Papa and the boy love each other so much. In his heart, Khaira was really happy, he hoped that when his baby was born, it would also be as familiar as his Papa and Brother. Khaira unintentionally smiled and her eyes looked down, looking at her stomach which was currently still flat, but there was already life in it.


“Baby sister later if born to each other also love Mama, Papa, and Brother Syilla yes .. can not wait for you to be born into the world, Honey.” murmured while putting one hand on his stomach.


Waiting for the time when her husband and Arsyilla returned, Khaira preferred to sit down, save her legs, feel the breeze blowing so gently until finally, after which Arsyilla returned with a little run and approached him, Arsyilla said, “Ma .. Mama, let's see Ondel-Ondel Ma .. in front there is Ondel-Ondel,” invite Arsyilla with so interested to see the typical art of Jakarta.


Ondel-ondel is a typical Betawi folk art that is often displayed in folk parties. It seems that Ondel-Ondel plays an ancestor or ancestor who always looks after his grandchildren or the villagers. Even though the capital is always moving towards modernization, in fact this art still exists today.


Khaira who had originally sat down, slowly got up and followed Arsyilla, they gathered with some Monas visitors who saw the Ondel-Ondel. While Radit was standing not far away, walking straight to his wife, the man did not even hesitate to hold her hand tightly. “Still tired?” Ask his wife.


Khaira quickly shook her head, “no, I'm not tired anyway. I even really see you and Syilla who clop really,” he said while laughing by staring at the faces of his husband and daughter alternately.


“Mama, Ondel-Ondel the doll huh Ma?” Ask Arsyilla suddenly.


Khaira nodded her head, “huh Darling, Ondel-Ondel is a large doll, looks like a giant doll right? Ondel-Ondel is 2.5 meters high and made from woven bamboo.” Khaira answered Arsyilla's question in such detail.


Arsyilla nodded, “ak Ma .. High Ondel-Ondelnya yes Ma, than Papa. That's a girl and a guy Ma?” He asked again while pointing at Ondel-Ondel who was under traction walking to and fro.


“Iya Syilla .. it try to see yes, whose face is painted white is Ondel-Ondel a girl, then whose face is painted red is Ondel-Ondel a guy. That's the typical art of the Betawi tribe, Syilla.” again Khari explained about the Ondel-Ondel to Arsyilla. While Arsyilla seemed surprised to see like a giant doll that was so big and tall.


“Syilla likes to watch Ondel-Ondel?” Radit asked his daughter.


“Like Pa ...” answer quickly.


However, not long after, as Ondel-Ondel walked closer to Arsyilla, the little girl suddenly cried and held her hand so tightly. Seeing Arsyilla crying, Radit immediately carried his son, “loh, why is this Papa child crying?”


Khaira smiled at Arsyilla who was crying, she whispered to her husband, “little child must have been so Pa... A few moments seemed interested and asked continuously, as soon as the object approached, so cry. Be frightened. However, usually the little children cry also see Ondel-Ondel as rich as I used to be,” she said while holding her hand on her husband's arm.


Radit also laughed, he looked at his wife's face, “so the cowardly Syilla looks like you, honey? In the past, when you were a child, you cried when you saw the statue of Goddess Durga in Prambanan Temple and now, Syilla is crying to see Ondel-Ondel. You two are so much the same, making me nostalgic for my Aira as a child.”


“Lah .. but right, the statue of Dewi Durga in Prambanan Temple is for young children also serem loh Pa. Anyway, why the hell if I cry, nenanginnya have to take a hug and kiss me anyway? Papa mode from small huh?” Khaira asked as she narrowed her eyes to look at her husband's face.


“Buktinya, I hugged and kissed the camera was also immediately silent. It means potent. Abis, when you were a child you were so beautiful, dear. Bikin. Eh, not only a small time anyway, now you are very beautiful and always mengegegegemesin.” said the man while fusing the side of his head for a moment to hit the head of his wife.


“Papa, this abis to another place yes Pa... Syilla is afraid of Ondel-Ondelnya Pa, he is very big.” Arsyilla spoke and still hid her face in her Papa's sling.


Radit also smiled, “itu Ondel-Ondelnya has gone a long way kok Darang...try Syilla look ahead, there is no Ondel-Ondelnya. After all, Arsyilla is a brave child, there are Papa and Mama who always look after you. We always look after you, Syilla.” said Radit who calms Arsyilla and reminded her not to be afraid because she and Khaira will always take care of her.


“Iya Papa .. now take a walk yuk Pa, the sons of Monas.” take Arsyilla who is now asking to get off her Papa sling.


“Bby .. but, Syilla can't run around huh. Poor Mama later ketapean.” Papa Radit still reminded Arsyilla not to run around.


“Oke Pa.” Arsyilla replied quickly.


They continued to walk around Monas, saw some statues and saw several crowds of people operating drones, playing with wheels, and others. This is the first time for Arsyilla to visit Monas, so visiting Monas is very memorable for Arsyilla.


“Pa, is there a train Pa?” point at Khaira when a train is passing by and visible from Monas.


“Iya Darling .. The train. If you take this train, the monas seem very big and also the city of Jakarta also look out from the top.” this time it is Radit's turn to explain to Arsyilla.


Until finally, Arsyilla is interested in coloring stands that are intended for children his age. Arsyilla also asked permission to Papa and his mother to be able to color on the stand. Of course, Radit and Khaira allow it. Both of them sit not far from Arsyilla, “dia seems very happy huh Darling?” Radit asked as he watched Arsyilla coloring.


Khaira also nodded in agreement, “bener really ... has long been not invited to play outdoor anyway Mas. So today he is even a very cool.”


Radit then laughed, “You who craved to come here. Even Arsyilla who looks very bright. But that's okay, I'm happy too. He also looks very good at.”
