TINI SUKETI
90. Cokro Village (4)

Tini took a deep breath. Didn't think his father could speak so wisely to him. The little knot in his heart began to unravel. "Nggeh, Sir. Mature new. Saiki Iap salin sek." (Yes, Sir. Macation. Change of clothes, sir.)

"Nganggo klambi ndi iki, Tin? Jare you ndi sek pantes? Ben Mr. ndang replace klambine, mesakke calone kowe selak nunggoni.” (Which clothes tin? Which one do you think is the most important? Let me change clothes. Do not wait for your candidate long wait for Mr.)

Mr. Joko rushed to stand patting the sheath. His face looked enthusiastic and innocent at once. The look on the face of a happy father is clearly drawn. After a long time to see his father live without spirit, that afternoon Tini held back tears because of the reaction of his father to welcome Wibisono.

Tini precedes her father's step towards the living room. He quickly turned into his father's room and opened the closet. Dayat who saw the arrival of their father, quickly invited Wibisono to talk so as not to turn his head and see their father who ran small into the room while holding a sarong. This was not the sight they wanted.

“Use this one, yes.” Tini put a pair of shirts and trousers on the bed. Mr. Joko nodded obediently and Tini exited the room while wiping the corner of her eyes. It's moved. For years, nothing happened in their family that could make him talk very seriously and well with his father.

Tini came back to Wibisono and sat in the single seat next to the man. “Father change clothes, Mas. Have you been drinking?” tini asked, glancing at the Wibisono cup whose contents had run aground. He poured the tea back into the man's cup.

“Udah drink. Abis as well. You're healthy, right?" ask Wibisono. He was worried because he saw the wet bottom of Tini's eyes.

Tini nodded. "Healthy, Mum." If eating sleep alone can be unhealthy, then he and his sisters will be very surprised.

Before long, their conversation stopped. The front room door opened and Mr. Joko appeared into the living room approaching them.

“Pak, this is Mas Wibisono. Mas Wibi, this is our Father. His name is Mr. Joko.” Tini stood up from the chair she was in. Gave a place to Mr. Joko who came out of the room with a long-sleeved shirt and pants material Tini bought for the holiday two years ago.

For all of them, at that time the appearance of Mr. Joko was very different. Without the scabbard and shabby t-shirts, their Father really looks like the Father in general.

"Sir, kulo Wibisono. Dateng kulo mriki is as beautiful as badhe mundhut Tini dados estrine. Piyambak 'e nggih mpun purun. Kantun blessing so Father. Bapak kerso, mangke kalih sasi melih kulo mriki kaliyan kurigi, badhe nepaki ningkang dados kekarepan." (Sir, I'm Wibisono. I came here with the intention of proposing to Tini to be my wife. Tini himself agreed. Now there is permission from my father. If you agree, in two months I and my extended family will come to pay their wishes immediately."

Without further ado Wibisono conveyed the meaning of his arrival. He knew that Tini had spoken at length with his father in the back of the house. Now it was his turn to make his point without rambling. He could not wait to hear the answer directly from his future father-in-law.

"Tini kuwi wis gedhe. Tini kuwi blas ora tau nggowo sopo-sopo sing meh known to marang Bapakke. Dadi Bapak kuwi wis nganggep Tini kuwi wis mantep karo Nak Wibi. Father agreed. Tini kuwi sonmbarep sek ora tau gawe bothered wong tuwo. Teneh Bapakke's. Tini kuwi sek mandiri lan ngrumati adi - adine. Ora tau nduweni. Mr urung iso menehi Tini semabarang. Sek dadi kekarepan saiki Bapak yo mung iso nuruti, as long as Mr iki ijeh able." (This is an adult. Tini never brought anyone to be introduced to the Father. So, I assume Tini is already convinced by Nak Wibi. Father agreed. Tini is the firstborn who never took care of us his parents. Especially Father. Tini is an independent child and cares for her younger siblings. This is a boy who never gave up. I've never done anything about Tini. So whatever Tini asks for skrg, you will follow as long as you can.)

In the heart of Mr. Joko continued, “Opo wae, sing important ora mbeleh Puput point.” (What, except slaying Puput.)

Hearing the wise words that their Father, Tini, Evi and Dayat had just looked at each other. In their hearts they also said, “Opo wae, sing important ora mbeleh Puput point.” (What, except slaying Puput.)
