this morning is a proposal event held at Ratih's house, because Sumarni's mother also wanted to celebrate the proposal for her first child even though this was not the first time Sumarni's mother held a proposal because Ratih was no longer a girl but a widow
like in the village, the event was also assisted by the neighbors of mothers who were busy in the kitchen to make food because in the village of Ratih there was no such thing as catering-catering as in the city everything was still natural using the energy of the neighbors
while the fathers are busy putting tarup in front of the house, even though only a proposal event but Andra asks to be held in luxury. not to forget Airin's mother also told her sister-in-law that she was very itchy to heat up behind the shameless sister-in-law.
"gue had to call Alex, just like his pratomo henchmen after the branch company switched to mine. whether he could be that calm" muttered Andra who was in his room even though outside people were boisterous because they were busy but Andra did not take the dizzy
he called Alex to ask his uncle
"hallo...Lex I have a question for you" Andra said after the phone was picked up by Alex
"what's up, bro, isn't it a happy day you're there. you want to ask me what" asked Alex
"why om Pratomo no contact me at all, if he can be as calm as that after the branch company so mine back" asked Andra the article he felt astonished until this moment his om was not seen urgency
"oh about that, you don't know every day he's in the main office angry and cranky even other employees affected including me, including me, he's like a stressed person from you know.maybe he prestige if call you just to get angry" said Alex explained the truth
"really.nyokap I also ngundang om Pratomo on my application show. suppose he will come not yes" asked Andra to Alex
"surely he came, you know how he did it" Alex looks upset by the question asked Andra
"yes you know, he would have never considered me pounded since my father was sick and died" said Andra was upset
"yes you wait, yes I still have a lot of work. Because-loe I have to do the work of loe in the resto as well. I can only give you congratulations but later you will make an event here too right" Alex felt annoyed
"had loe same friend calculation.., just calm I make a big event also there later" replied Andra relaxed even though his best friend was upset.
"yes, yes, yes, the bay" Alex immediately turned off his phone unilaterally
"sue..main matiin telfon it's only in the mind who's the boss" Andra chuckles annoyed
he put his phone on the bed, Andra looked out the door he was curious about the boisterous people who were doing their activities outside
Andra who was curious also came out of his room, he was amazed by what he saw gotong royong and helped each other between neighbors still thick here.This is the first time Andra saw a scene like this
"mas..kidu see what" asked Ratih who is now beside him.
"no, I was amazed to see the familiarity between neighbors who help each other when the neighbors have an event" said Andra still staring at the fathers who were setting up tarup in front of Ratih's house
"his name is also in the village of mas, yes it is still upholding the togetherness of each other please help each other, even though in the village very loud when hearing the words of the neighbors are not good. very different from in a city that flat neighbors bodo very and maybe even if someone died, people will not know so bodo very much" ratih said comparing between in the village and in the city
"yes, most people in the city are busy with their respective affairs, but here even though the house there is a distance of about 3 meters between homes but when the neighbors are busy all help yes" Andra was still staring at the fathers

and there was one father who just sat down to get some drinking water.
"coffee...?" bargain that father
"thank you sir, my father has already" Andra replied with a polite smile
the father nodded then drank a glass of coffee that he poured earlier from a hot water teremos, which is intended for coffee to stay hot
"Train her future husband handsome, different from Yasril first. Great you choose a future husband already handsome rich again" praise the father whether it's a compliment or actually satire
"father can, yes his name is a soul mate who knows sir. mas Yasril only now is happy with his wife really" ratih said she was humble and said that her husband was happy with his new wife
"lt's...Yasril has been married anyway, I think not yet" said the father who was surprised, maybe the father heard a lie from people that made him shocked
"yes sir, even mas Yasril is now in the same city as us" said Ratih as it is he did not want any unpleasant rumors that make his name clear
"oh, that's why you've continued working again yes" the father also left the two of them who were sitting on the porch chair of the house and joined the others to continue the work.
"the horror itself is mas, surely the father did not know and thought that I who died mas Yasril only for you. without me knowing the words of people just by looking at the expression of the father I'm sure" Ratih told Andra
"yes let it be dear, after all the reality is not like that" Andra responded casually despite the ugly gossip about his future wife
Train stood up from his seat and was about to walk inside
"where are you" asked Andra who saw Ratih standing up
"by deh, rather than bosen" Andra also took Ratih's hand and followed him to the kitchen where the mothers were cooking

once in the kitchen Andra amazed again to see the mothers who are busy seen outside the kitchen is still made a tent from tarpaulin to cook outside using firewood, because to cook a lot of rice will not be enough just to use a gas stove.
so it requires firewood to make the rice quickly ripen, so,
" it's a pity we went out yuk, mas curious about the tent outside" said Andra invited Ratih
" yes, yes" Ratih agreed
they went out to the tent in the back, they both said their excuses to the mothers who were cooking inside. the mothers who were inside smiled and encouraged, but when they passed the mothers whispered to each other
some praise and some are cynical, well that's how mothers whose nature is different.
Andra and Ratih were already in the tent, it appears that the mothers were gathering while chatting even though their hands were actively holding their respective jobs.Some part of them cooked rice, rice, there are also those who are cleaning meat and slicing meat, some are peeling onions.
andra's eyes were on the fathers stirring something
"sadly the gents were again doing it" Andra asked Ratih
"oh that, they again make dodol mas" replied Ratih while looking at what Andra pointed out
"dodol, the rich dodol Garut is yes" asked Andra enthusiastically
"yes" replied Ratih smilingly
"we go there yuk! mas want to see the making" Andra looks more enthusiastic
"yes it is come" Andra also with Ratih approached four fathers who were stirring dodol alternately, two people stirring and two people rest because after stirring too
Andra seemed enthusiastic to see the fathers vigorously stirring the half-baked dodol, with sweat drenching their bodies. because of the hot fire and smoke from the fire that sometimes makes the eyes sore
Andra asked the father for permission to join in trying to stir the dough of the new half-baked dodol
"sir can I try to stir" asked Andra
"waduh mas, until someone who has a time event wants to join ngaduk. this is quite heavy loh" the father felt bad because Andra was the one who had the event
"no matter what sir, I want to try about it in the city there is nothing like this" Andra is still enthusiastic
"you're sure mas, it's heavy loh" Ratih also felt bad with her future husband as well as he was a city person and never worked stirring so
"no matter what you can do, yes sir" Andra still hopes
"yowes, may but if not strong do not force Yo mas" said the father
"asikk, where here sir" Andra was very enthusiastic even his attitude was like a child who got a candy gift from his parents
Ratih smiled looking at the other side of Andra that looks funny in his opinion. Andra began to stir the dough vigorously even Andra did not want to stop even though his body was sweating due to the heat from the furnace fire, and his eyes hurt by the smoke from the fire that sometimes dies and must be pushed first the wood into and must be blown so that the fire lit.
but it was not all the spirit of Andra receded instead he was getting more spirit until the dodol was mature, and lifted and then printed in the baking sheet.
Andra got the part of the dodol that he made earlier, the mothers brought the plate for the dodol and then after the contents were given to Andra
"it's for me ma'am "asked Andra in disbelief
"la Iyo mas, until the stirring was so you also have to try" said the mother gave a plate containing dodol
"wahhhh.makasih Bu" Andra received the plate containing the dodol enthusiastically.
"honey yuk we're sitting there eating my dodol" invite Andra he did not ask for approval Ratih Andra immediately pulled Ratih to sit on a wood that is still in the tent but at the end
they also ate the dodol together, seen them joking with each other and laughter, making the person in the tent smile to see the couple
