Tama And Ratna
64. Play To Father's House

The day had started late in the afternoon, Tama and Ratna deliberately did not go home but to the house of the Father in Purworejo. They have not greeted Mom and Dad for a long time. Ratna said there was time, because if they delay it could be Father and Mother who came to their house even though Ratna had not had time to clean the furniture.

Sure enough, it turns out that Father and Mother had planned to leave for Jogja the day after tomorrow to visit his oldest house, Ratna. Once until the Father and Mother have been excited to prepare this and that, arranging the room especially. I also invited Tama and Ratna to eat outside because by chance I only cooked clear spinach and was stale because it was late afternoon.

"Mom's tumben cocks don't cook?" ask Ratna.

"Both ming, do a lot of cooking," said the father.

"Lha, your father if you make sure you don't like to eat, you already cook for yourself. You're not talking about going home, Ma'am, anyway" Mother added.

"Yes sorry Mom, suddenly too. Out of Gunung Kidul, I want to stop by. After the slump see the house is still a mess. Not yet set up people yesterday just arrived. All day I forbid Dek Ratna to clean up so that both can rest first and the day after tomorrow also has started her work," said Tama.

When the four of them were having dinner, Sasa happened to videocall Ratna because it was photographed by Ratna who arrived at Mother's house. She turned the show to her brother she said little Adrian had started learning to crawl. Ratna also saw her niece was currently crawling closer to her father who had just returned from the office. Following, Nata also joined the video connection and joined the chat together. Nata is currently in the dorm, is releasing tired after latgab all day.

Finish eating, bathing, Ratna and Tama please leave to enter the room to the Father and Mother. Their bodies are tired. Even Ratna's legs hurt. In the room, Ratna immediately fell asleep while Tama was still cool looking at his wife who had fallen asleep next to him. It was like looking back at the face she had long missed. Adiratna is plain, innocent, and spoiled. The presence is sweet, funny, and always follows wherever Tama goes. Ratna is now very different.

...***...

In the morning, Tama who changed whining to be allowed to come to the stall when last night Tama promised to bathe Brian. When she arrived at the stall, it was clear she was the center of attention and Ratna began to feel ashamed when she saw her husband standing in front of a table containing market snacks. His tall body looks in contrast to the mothers who dominate this stall.

"Who is this?" asked a neighbor to Tama who looked down awkwardly.

"My hand is no, sopo is down," replied Mother.

"Your mother? Sing cop what sing soldier?"

"Mantu. The police, her husband Ratna," replied Mother again.

"Is this Ratna? Oh Allah the bulik pangling. Distant from you now. Pretty, kind of skinny too, yeah," said one of the others.

"Pantes from earlier did not look at the rich know but who really sticky tenan same Bu Widi. Another vacation, huh?" this time the one who asked Mantri.

"Some, thank God Mas moved the task in Jogja continues to stop by again there is time" said Ratna.

"Sir, weigh the potatoes dong 3 kilos," Mother told the seller.

"A lot of Bu Widi buy it," said the mothers still not tired of wondering at Mother.

Ratna then walked closer to Tama who was still confused about buying which snacks. Ratna whispered to Tama to ask for her wallet. They are also not good enough to be the center of attention. If up to one shop knew the mother's mountain groceries Mother herself who paid, surely Tama and Ratna will get julid sekampung. Tama handed her purse to Ratna then walked over while carrying one plastic klepon, one plastic tofu meatball and some serabi.

"Mom, you pay me" Ratna told Mother.

"Yes there" said Mother.

"How much is the Bu?" this time Ratna asked the seller who started taking large plastic crackles and started counting my groceries.

"A total of 234,500" said the seller.

Ratna gave 5 pieces of 50 thousands to the seller, then returned the Tama wallet to the owner while the change entered his pocket. Tama happily brought Ratna and Mother's luggage so let these two women just walk without having to carry any burden. Once home, Tama joins the Father sitting on the terrace. Enjoy the warm morning sun while nyemil klepon and banana fritters made by Mother.

"Long time to be here?" ask the father who received a glass of coffee from Ratna.

"Boten sir, later in the afternoon home wong tomorrow morning I have started work," said Ratna.

"Lha is a spiff?"

"Yes, come on, Mom and I just play at home. But not now sir, it's still a mess" Tama said.

Every time the couple went to Mom's house, Ratna would stick with her mother while Tama was sticky with her father-in-law. Now only Tama follow the Father to the field for a bird banquet. Though Tama did not know about the bird but rather than him just at home see the same mother Ratna who was busy both and he even joined.

Just like when in the stall earlier, now Tama is also the center of attention. Who are the people who do not know the family of Mr. Yatna? In addition to Mr. Yatna's community leaders, his family is also well-regarded and famous for being kind and polite. Ratna, Sasa, and Nata also did not hesitate to take the time to be active in Karang Taruna village, so many are familiar. In addition, the family of the Father is more famous because it can be a daughter-in-law who is two-two is an officer. One in TNI-AD, one in Brimob, and Nata is also now undergoing TNI-AU education and aspires to become an aviator.

Ratna told him and told him, once, if in the village his family is very, very respected until he himself is sometimes burdened because sometimes people who are older than him and should he respect even have bowed to him first. Now only felt by Tama who does not know anyone but everyone knows him. Enjoyed his time with my dad. He learned something new.

"Mas, jare Ratna's sick?"

"Please sir, Ratna has asthma. Continued yesterday he was able to be transported people to enter the ICU, but God willing it is healthy," said Tama.

"Astagfirullah, how come?"

"Sorry sir, the risk of Ratna being my wife is heavy. I'm sorry I can't take good care of my daughter. It was my fault" Tama said.

"Ora popo's. I sincerely recommend him to you. It wasn't you who hurt him. If you are hurting he did not bring his son directly home," said the father.

"I inshaallah trust sir, it never seems to hurt Ratna at one point. Like I said that being a parent and having a daughter would not be willing if my daughter was colonized by the same people, so I also have to treat my daughter well. I don't want to accumulate bad karma, sir," Tama said.

"What if you already have a rich mind. Wis yo came home, Mr. Wis called Ibune ki," said the father.

"Yes, obviously sir called lha wong now it's 2 o'clock. You can promise only until the dhuhur earlier," said Tama.

"Yes understandably nek wis hold a hobby ki sok lali," said the father.

"Sama sir," replied Tama laughing with Father.

When the two reached home, Ratna was already ruffled around her waist in front of the door. His death glare made Father and Tama afraid. The father also said, Ratna is more fierce than her mother. It was justified by Tama and directly proven by the facts. Ratna immediately furiously sprayed Tama. If you are not used to breakfast yes already, but if Tama does not eat breakfast his stomach can hurt. Moreover, this until 2 o'clock has not swallowed the rice.

"Kan Mas had eaten glutinous rice this morning."

"Beda Mas's. You if again dieman mbok ya manut. Nek later malem kok until asked for scrapings will not want me to digerokin. Ask Mas Cece over there," Ratna said.

"Astagfirullah Dek, karo bojo aja fierce mbokan," said Tama trying to persuade.

"I'm not fierce if you say you are nurut Mas," said Ratna while cutting cucumbers with emotion.

"Jeez, for Christ's sake. Nurut, promise," said Tama who was horrified to see Ratna continue to cut cucumbers mercilessly.

"Hmm.., eat a lot of my husband," said Ratna finally smiling but still looking scary to Tama inexplicably.
