Halal Love of the Senior
Bude Lastri

"Mas, what if we also stay at Dad's house? I haven't seen Ale in a day it's so bad." Adelia looked at her husband after their romance session was over. Adelia lay on her side facing her husband, while Adi lay on her back with her plain body covered in a blanket.

"We're staying there tomorrow too, Ai." Adi kissed his wife's forehead which still looks wet with sweat.

"Seriously, Mas." Adelia's face immediately shone.

Adi nudging. "Yes, tomorrow I go to the project for a bit, after that we go home to Dad. Tomorrow there is a large family gathering that is held every few months. Yesterday dad said Ale's birth thanks, too."

"So I went with Mas Adi to the project or what?"

"If Ai wants to come, later coming home from the project can go directly to father. But if Ai doesn't want to be okay."

"Yes-yes, I want to. I can't wait to see Ale."

"It's so nice to be with Ale." Adi tilted his body to face his wife.

"I'm rich with new toys, Mas. Just learn how to babysit if we have children tomorrow. At once, I also helped Dek Dita who is still not free to move."

Adi smears a smile. "Yes, but don't get tired and forget the time. There's a house and a husband to take care of."

"There's no way I'm forgetting my duties and obligations, ma'am. I even want if Dek Dita has entered college, I'm the one who babysit Ale, no need to use the services of a baby sitter."

Adi frowned at the words of his wife. "Caring for a baby isn't easy, Ai. Then there is Rendra who takes care and nurtures Ale during Dita's college. He's even more flexible than Dita."

"Mas Adi, don't let me babysit Ale?" Adelia looked at her husband with a disappointed look.

"Not allowing, but there's still Rendra, Ai. If they allow it no matter, as long as Ai does not let her achieve." Adi stroked his wife's delicate cheeks.

"Anyway, Ale has parents. Although our intentions help, but if they don't want to, what can we do. We can't force them to hand Ale over to Ai during Dita's college."

"Yes, too, Mom. Moreover, Rendra is very protective and possessive."

"Dine, Ai. But, just try fishing Dita what Rendra if they discuss the matter of college. "

"Yes, Mas. Rendra kanya also want to postpone the S-2 lecture."

"Well, that's why Ai don't expect too much. Maybe you can take care of her once in a while if Rendra has a job outside."

Adelia nodded. "Yes, Mum."

"Sleep yuk, it's night. Do you want another round?" Adi blinked one eye flirtatiously.

"Mas, uh." Adelia patted Adi's chest while blushing in embarrassment.

"Your son is handsome, Nduk [call to a girl (younger woman) who has a close relationship - Javanese]. Rich father," praised Bude Lastri after seeing Ale laid on a carpet with a small mattress. Ale was deliberately laid in the living room because many brothers wanted to see him.

"And boy, Bude. So yes handsome, if the girl is beautiful," said Dita in a joking tone.

"Iso wae kowe kie (you could be this), Nduk." Bude Lastri patted Dita's thigh softly.

"It's healthy, Bude?" ask Dita while greeting Bude Lastri.

"Alhamdulillah be healthy" replied Bude Lastri. "Where's your husband?"

"New back, Bude. Get a fan for Ale. Afraid she's overheated."

"Jenenge Ale to (his name is Ale), Nduk?"

"My nickname is Ale, Mbah (grandmother - Javanese). My full name is Almair Syabil Daneswara." Being impersonated by the voice of a small child while playing Ale's hand, it was as if his son was talking to Bude Lastri.

Bude Lastri. "Yo wes, I'm not Adi ro bojone nemoni (yes already, I want to see Adi and his wife)."

"Yes), Bude."

Bude Lastri then approached Adi and Adelia who were sitting next to each other.

"Piye kabare manten brand-new (how's the newlyweds doing)?"

"Alhamdulillah, sae (good), Bude." Adi answered Bude Lastri. He and Adelia then gobbled up Bude Lastri.

"Your wife is pregnant yet, Adi?" ask Bude Lastri without further ado.

"Wish you get pregnant soon, Bude," Adi replied with a smile decorating her lips.

"Yes, bude pray. Don't lose to your sister, Di."

"What's up, Bude?" Adi frowned at Bude Lastri's statement.

"Yes lost having children. Dita can say you already have two children, but you still haven't."

"Any race, some win and lose, Bude. We haven't been married for a year either." Adi still responded to Bude Lastri casually.

"Bude just pity your wife, others bring children, she herself does not. Try taking your wife to massage at Mbah Suro's. Who knows, from there keep filling. Many who massage in Mbah Suro can get pregnant even though they have not had children for a long time. Later given herbs also to drink to nourish the womb," said Bude Lastri while glancing at Adelia.

"Yes, Bude. Thanks for the info."

"Who's your wife's name, Di? Bude forgot."

"Adelia's."

"Adelia tried a massage at Mbah Suro. Who knows, you could get pregnant soon." Bude Lastri spoke while looking at Adelia.

"Yes, Bude." Adelia answered with a smile.

"Not drinking herbal medicine?"

"The most common firefly when it comes to the moon, Bude."

"When you go to the place where Mbah Suro is given a herbal medicine that must be boiled, it tastes bitter. Can be mixed with honey or palm sugar so it is not too bitter. Just try to find out who fits."

"Yes, Bude." Adelia nodded.

"Nant stomach seijit same Mbak Suro, berenerinnya role if down. Has it been inched into her stomach?"

"Not yet, Bude."

"Well, maybe the role went down that's why you're not pregnant. Anyway, everything will be the same Mbah Suro. Many are suitable, once massage directly pregnant. There are also those who are two or three times pregnant. The important thing is not to miss the drink."

"Yes, Bude. Thanks for the advice."

"The house that corner had been three years without children, the massage there can continue to have children." Bude Lastri continues to tell the experience of people who can get pregnant because it is traditionally massaged in the place of Mbah Suro, like a reliable marketing who wants to invite consumers to buy their products.

Adelia silently listened, with no interest in responding. While Adi looked bored and wanted to interrupt, but Bude Lastri continued to talk until he hesitated to cut.

"Yes, Bun. Sorry Bude, I'm going to the back first." Adelia immediately got up from her seat and went to the kitchen. He heaved a sigh of relief after arriving in the middle room.

Adi smiled broadly seeing his bunda come as a savior.

"Mbakyu, monggo was tasted first (please taste the snack)." Hasna's mother thrust a plate containing wajik, lemper, vegetable pastel and sausage solo into the front of Bude Lastri.

"Iki gawe dewe kabeh po (this makes it all yourself), Dik?" Bude Lastri took the lemper, then peeled the banana leaves that became the wrapper.

"Yes, Mbakyu. Yesterday helped Mbok Darmi with Adelia."

"Oh yeah, that's your mom being told to massage Mbah Suro to get pregnant fast."

"Later if you are pregnant, you must be pregnant, Mbakyu. Now it's still not worth it they have kids." Hasna's mother responded wisely to Bude Lastri.

"Lakyo wes half year durung fill, yo rapopo to dipijetke. Kuwi jenenge ikhtiar (it has been half a year not pregnant, it is okay to massage. That's called ikhtiar)."

Hasna's mother smiled. "Maturnuwun awit kawigatosanipun (thank you for your attention), Mbakyu. Kersane larene strangled mutusi piyambak (let them decide for themselves). We as parents can only give advice and primarily pray for them."

"Aren't you going to add a grandchild, brother?"

"Yes will, Mbakyu. But the boy is sustenance. If it is not the time to be given, any kind of effort will not work. If it's time even without much effort, God willing will succeed."

"You're too resigned to the same situation. If my man would've taken a massage to Mbak Suro."

Hasna's mother smiled again. "If we have tried and prayed, we should indeed submit the same provisions of the Gusti of God, right, Mbakyu. I am sure they have tried and prayed, but it is not yet time to be given. Sorry, Ma'am, I just need to prepare a meal. This show is about to start."

"Yes," said Bude Lastri with a little ketus.

"Monggo dipun sekecaaken (good luck), Mbakyu." Hasna's mother left Bude Lastri who was enjoying a solo sausage after the lemper ran out.

Hasna's mother approached Adelia who was sitting in the living room accompanying Dita who was breastfeeding Ale. Dita went inside because it was time for Ale to drink milk. It is unethical to breastfeed in front of many people.

"Mr Adel, don't think about what Bude Lastri said." Hasna's mother sat down next to her son-in-law, then clasped her hands, providing support.

"It's okay, Bun. I just wanted to try." Adelia smiled at her mother-in-law and clasped Hasna's hand back.

"What does Bude Lastri say?" ask Dita with a frown. He had not listened to the talk of Bude Lastri and his brother because he was busy answering the questions of his other brother who wanted to know about Ale.

"Bude told me to massage in Mbah Suro's place, Dek."

"Oh, here is indeed famous Mbah Suro, Ma'am."

"Have you had a massage there, Dek?"

Dita shaking. "Never, Mother. I don't really like the stomach area. Usually if you reach it is only the back, the same legs just the hands are sewn."

"Oh, it's just in the stomach, yeah the massage, Bun?" Adelia asked her mother-in-law.

"The whole body, just the focus is on the stomach" explained Ms. Hasna. "If you don't like it, don't go there. No need to obey Bude Lastri."

"I'm curious, Bun. Mas Adi knows Mbah Suro's house isn't he, Bun?"

"It should know. If you want to try it is okay. Mother, don't force or tell ya."

"Yes, Bun. Later if Mas Adi wants to deliver, before going home I want to try a massage. Who knows, it's from there."

"Aamiin," said Ms. Hasna and Dita together.

"Yes already, mother wants to prepare a meal first. The show's already started, so when it's over they can eat right away." Hasna's mother got up from her seat.

"I'll help you, Bun. Deck, I'll stay first." Adelia stood up. She held her in-laws arm walking into the kitchen.

Dita smiles at the closeness of her parents and Adelia. Usually he is the one who always helps, now there is Adelia who replaces him.

As soon as the meeting closed, the guests, who still had family connections, began to enjoy the lunch served by Ms. Hasna. They take food buffet at the dining table and then eat it in the living room or in the living room.

Guests began to wait one by one after lunch. After everyone came home, Adi and Rendra cleaned up the living room and terrace that became the meeting place earlier. They put the chairs and tables back to their original position, which had been placed outside the house because they rolled out carpets in the living room and terrace.

After everything was settled, they then rested in their respective rooms. Adi invites his wife into the room because she knows Adelia must have achieved. From the moment she came, Adelia helped Hasna's mother make a snack until night. And, this morning after dawn helped the in-laws again. Adelia even only occasionally played or carried Ale when the goal was to meet Ale.

"Mas, why take me to the room? I don't want to grow crops, do I?" adelia asked as soon as they entered the room.

"Do you want to grow crops?" Adi raises his eyebrows, seduces his wife.

"Ish, don't go. Don't joke, Mom." Adelia looked at her husband in annoyance.

"I'm not kidding, if Ai wants to, come on." This time Adi blinked one eye.

Adelia rolled both her eyes. She knew her husband was teasing her.

"Now pinch." Adelia positioned her hand to pinch Adi.

"Gosh, Ai. Very cruel to her husband. Here go to sleep first let's not be tired." Adi patted the bed beside him.

"Mother and others work, I sleep instead, Mas." Adelia refused her husband's invitation

"Some one's been helping you, Ai. Don'worry. I don't want Ai to achieve. Mother also understands. It's already here." Adi patted the bed next to him.

Adelia finally complied with her husband. He took off the hijab that covered his head and changed into a house shirt. He lay down next to the man he loved so much.

"Mas, later take me to massage at Mbah Suro's place," said Adelia after laying down.

Adi was surprised to hear his wife's request. He then lay on his side facing Adelia. "Ai, seriously want to obey Bude Lastri?"

"Yes, Mas. There is no harm in trying. Consider this one of our endeavors."

"Ai, would you like to drink that bitter herb?"

"A bitter life I can live, Mas. Moreover, only bitter herbs, small is mah," joroh Adelia.

"If that's what Ai wants, I'll come along. But don't expect too much. We keep putting everything to God. Do not continue to believe that the massage there can definitely get pregnant. I don't want Ai to be disappointed later if it's not up to expectations." Adi stroked Adelia's head.

"Yes, Mas. I-i know. I just want to try. The price is also not expensive. More expensive spa costs in the salon." Adelia scrapes amusedly.

Adi laughed. He then pinched the tip of his wife's nose with anxiety. "Later Asar we go there. Now rest first."

"Okay, Boss." Adelia saluted her husband before closing her eyes.
