The day has changed, the morning in the village of bells is always the same, the cold air makes all residents more often spend their mornings in their homes.

On a blind morning like this, it seems Darto, Badin, Surip and Anto are busy with helping mothers who want to start preparing wedding dishes. While Harti was helping at Sri's house since dawn.

Today is the day set by both Anto's parents and Sri's parents, Anto will make a pledge in front of his parents to propose Sri. Anto's face does not stop emitting happy mimic.he is always alert to help prepare cooking utensils with a face full of smiles that continue to crack. Despite being forced not to help, he pushed back on the grounds that it was better to keep moving to reduce the nervousness in his chest.

"Tok already, there you are ready for almost this hour," forced Darto saw his friend was still busy stirring the pot on the cauldron.

"Yes, Dar. Nih you keep stirring, said Bu Neni later sticky if not stirred," Anto replied while giving a long wooden spoon that he used as a spatula.

After that Anto rushed to the bathroom, he took a bath long enough to continue wearing clothes that had been prepared by his parents.

"Let's go to Sri's house!" yelled Anto from the next room.

Hearing Anto's cry, Darto, Surip and Bidin rushed to see him in the next room, and when they arrived before Anto, the three men looked a little surprised by the clothes Anto was wearing. He looks authoritative, almost the same as the one in Sambaran Wajana, which is different only the cover of his head. Anto wore a slightly long peci-like headdress, a gold batik-patterned black striped cloth that coiled around his waist, with a bit of cloth wrapped around his array, which was his, bare-chested and tucked in a kris on his back waist.

"Such a handsome you Tok, but I don't lose anyway ha ha ha ha!" said Surip while continuing to hold the clothes Anto was wearing.

"Yes Sur, you are the most handsome person if you are alone again," ketus Bidin from a distance after hearing Surip's speech.

"The mustache was shaved first, Tok," timpal Darto saw Anto continued to twist a mustache on his face.

"Don't dong, this is what makes Dek Sri Klepek-klepek Dar," replied Anto slightly holding back laughter.

Hearing that answer, Bidin and Surip nodded and they whispered to each other, then they agreed to lengthen the whiskers, so that they could quickly mate like Anto.

Seeing the behavior of Surip and Bidin, Anto and Darto could only be widened and then continued to walk with the Anto family group to Sri's house on foot.

Arriving at Sri's House. It looks like Sri who has been sitting accompanied by her parents, in front of Mbah Turahmin who served as the ruler. Sri's hair was left unraveled, a patternless black cloth wrapped around her chest, and a gold-patterned pull wrapped around her lower body started from the waist. A series of gold beads decorated his head, plus a beautiful gold and silver bracelet adorned the wrist. Sri was very beautiful in the eyes of everyone who watched. They both look very harmonious.

After Anto sat beside Sri, we all witnessed the momentum of the two men in this room. Although a little nervous Anto did not make a mistake in saying the sentence he had memorized since the day before, until everyone said SAH we rushed back to Anto's house with the group, so that everyone said SAH we rushed back to Anto's house with the group, it has become a custom held by residents here, that even though it is legal, the bride is still given three days to be with her family, before they finally send Sri to Anto's house with all the family.

Harti still stayed and stayed at Sri's house, while Darto, Bidin and Surip continued to help receive guests at Anto's house for three consecutive days. until finally the time that is always Anto later, Sri's family came, crowds flocked while presenting music from the drums, gongs and other traditional musical instruments. Today Sri was handed over entirely to Anto by her family. Happiness and happiness were mixed at that time, whether family, relatives or friends, all dissolved in the happiness they both felt. Until it does not feel like time has passed, the sky has darkened, sunlight has disappeared above the head.

"You are indeed understanding, Dar," Anto answered briefly, making Sri's face instantly reddened.

"We said yes, Tok," said Surip, then they rushed out of Anto's house.

Darto, Surip and Bidin were still discussing Anto and Sri along the way, while Harti was only silent to resist embarrassment. Because not only once Surip and Bidin quipped Darto and Harti, making himself speechless again.

After arriving at Darto's house, three men decided to lie down in the front room, and let Harti sleep in Darto's room. They all fell asleep immediately, because for three days they worked hard with a little rest.

"Dara.. Wake up," Mbah Turahmin said as he shook the sleeping Darto body.

Hearing Mbah Turahmin's words, Darto was jolted, after waking up he was a little confused, not usually he was lazy, he always woke up at three in the morning to perform tahajud and sahur prayers.

"Yes Mbah," said Darto while rubbing his sleepy eyes.

"Not yet dawn, Dar. If you want sahur still have time. Usually you do not get up in wakein already wake up alone," said Mbah turahmin then leave Darto back.

Hearing Si Mbah's words, Darto rushed to devour the side dish he brought from Anto's house last night, after being full he again grabbed the sarong in the next room then followed Si Mbah and Kakung who were about to go to Langgar.

"Tomorrow we go to the boarding school, Dar," said Kakung while closing the door.

"Tomorrow?" darto was a little surprised.

"Yes Dar, we've been here a long time" replied Kakung Back,"

"Yasudah Kung, Later Darto sorted all farewell to Anto," said Darto while putting a fire in his head.

After that, the two old men with their grandchildren walked together towards the break, there was no more uneasiness in the hearts of the three of them, the affairs that had been disturbing had been eliminated, and the business they prioritize to help close friends Darto was resolved. Every now and then they joked, speaking of the destroyed Lastri, they dissolved in such a deep sense of relief that they did not notice their surroundings.

Unbeknownst to them, from a distance a jet-black creature kept watching the three men, he kept running leaving a trail of black, rotten and chewy liquid on the dry leaves he had stepped on.
