Muara Kasih Single Mother
Still Four Monthly Event
Although only four months, apparently guests who come quite a lot. Indeed from fellow neighbors one RT only, but who come in the study is a lot. Miss Tari and Mr. Hadinata alone to be surprised by the number of guests who came. In addition, they were also laughing when the little children gathered and attended the Cursing event.
Wipe the study, the Fathers who were mostly present sat together, then served rice and side dishes that were covered with banana leaves. There are various types of side dishes in the form of anchovies, fried chicken, salted fish, tofu, tempeh, and lalapan. Then there are religious leaders who read prayers. After that, everyone ate together. There is gratitude, there is togetherness and also kinship created when the whole invitation to eat together with a banana leaf mat or can also be teak leaves.
Even with the Host who mingles with other invited guests. This was also a four-monthly event conducted by the Pak Agus family in two months because they had previously done a study for the previous May, and now they did a study and thanksgiving for Ervita.
"One year will get two grandchildren, sir?" ask one of the gentlemen who was present that afternoon.
"Yes Pak .. awarded many grandchildren, so that in old age can be found grandchildren, sir," replied Mr. Agus.
Then there was a neighbor who said at that time, "It seems that Firhan was also married for several months, right? His wife is not pregnant."
Do not be asked, in some villages the fathers can observe each other and can also be more julid than women. Now it is clear that someone is observing Firhan and his wife, and talking about her not being pregnant. That's how people, when they're not married, ask when they're getting married. When you are married, the question will change when you are pregnant. When you are pregnant and your child is born, the question will change again when to add another child. The life cycle is not just that. Humans are limited to living and having their own plans in life. Getting married, having children, even adding children, every family should have made plans for something like this.
"His grandson already wants three, Mr Agus?" ask another neighbor.
"Yes sir .. it's been three," he replied.
After eating together, the neighbors who came home were still given Rice Blessing and also a cake brought by the Hadinata family from Jogja. Everyone was happy and prayed that the baby contained by Ervita would be healthy and safe.
At that time there was also Bu Yeni who came to just congratulate. Although actually embarrassed, but because of the neighbors, Bu Yeni also came.
"I pray and be happy about Ms. Sri .. I hope Ervi and her baby are healthy" said the middle-aged woman.
"Yes, matur nuwun .. thank you Ms. Yeni. How's it going, healthy?" bangsa Bu Sri.
"Amin, healthy," replied Bu Yeni again.
"Sorry earlier could not help cooking, Mom .. because it was finished from Semarang to visit Erma," he said.
"It's okay, ma'am .. wong didn't bother either. Just making a joke," he replied.
"Four months pregnant?"
"Yes, more than one or two weeks anyway, ma'am. How is Mama Wati pregnant?" asked Bu Sri who this time asked if his wife Firhan was pregnant.
Bu Yeni shook her head, "Not yet, Mom. Not yet the sustenance is possible, ma'am," replied Bu Yeni again.
Until finally Bu Yeni drank a warm tea and also ate a cake. After that, he said goodbye to go home. The middle-aged woman seemed to stop her steps when she saw Indi running around and calling Pandu as Father. His chest felt tight to see him. Also, Indi and Pandu who he knew there was no blood ties, it could be so familiar and also love each other.
"Monggo, Mas Pandu," Bu Yeni greeted with a nod of his head.
"Yes, Ma'am .. please," replied Pandu with a slight bow of his head.
However, Bu Yeni's footsteps were so slow when now Indi asked her father for a sling. So funny, that even Bu Yeni's eyes dewy. In his heart the woman muttered, "Lucky Indi who got a father as good as Mas Pandu. Although actually he is the flesh of others, but Mas Pandu really love him. Even though his own biological father was not affectionate and did not acknowledge, God was just. Others may be used by God to give love to the little child."
"Yayah .. don't run, wait for Didi," cried Indi who had come down and was about to pursue his father.
"Well, just yayah here, Didi. Already well, it's night .. later if you run a lot, Didi can bedwetting," replied Pandu.
All Indi and Pandu's activities could be seen by Bu Yeni, and also in his heart was painful. If Firhan's domestic life goes well, too. Unfortunately, Firhan and his wife were also so cold, communication so limited, and as if there was aversion in Firhan's heart.
It felt, after returning home and getting home, Bu Yeni would convey to Firhan and advise his children to be able to live harmoniously. Indeed, Bu Yeni only wanted to advise. The job of parents is to advise their children. While hoping the household of his son will become adem ayem.
