Muara Kasih Single Mother
Backs
Now the Hadinata family gathers and wants to do the Punggahan event. Punggahan itself is a tradition of welcoming the arrival of Ramadan which is usually done at the end of the month of Shaban, about one week or at the latest one or two days before the arrival of Ramadan. In West Java, Punggahan is called as Munggahan.
The form of forcing its own back does vary. However, generally this activity is done by eating with family, mutual forgiveness, praying together, and also giving alms. Philosophically, Punggahan is a procession of welcoming the month of fasting full of glory, so that Muslims will feel happy and elevated.
Just as usual, in the Pendhopo owned by Bu Tari and Pak Hadinata now has been made a prank. That is a variety of boiled vegetables such as Kenangkir Leaves, Kale, Carrots, there are also Slices of Cucumber, Sprouts served with Coconut Sambal. To complement the side dish there is Fried Chicken, Boiled Egg, to Salted Fish.
"Yuk, eat with yuk ... there the young eat first," said Bu Tari.
Indeed, that is how Ms. Tari, when making a gathering with children will be welcome to eat first. While she can take care of her young grandchildren. Like the proverb in Javanese parents will feed their children, therefore children are welcome to eat first.
"Father and Mother first," said Pertiwi.
"It's okay" replied Miss Tari and Mr. Hadinata simultaneously.
"Eat together, Mom ... the children nitip to the Mbaknya first," replied Pertiwi.
Finally, Sky and Irene were entrusted first to the maid at the Hadinata family home first. Then the whole family enjoyed eating together. Truly Punggahan, because they deliberately eat by wearing banana leaves made lime with Food and also a variety of delicious side dishes.
"This year's upload is Pertiwi and Damar" said Mr. Hadinata.
It feels like the Hadinata family is grateful too. In the past, Pertiwi and Damar were still in Bandar Lampung. Now, the whole family can come together.
"Yes, Mr. .. we were still in Lampung" Damar replied.
"With my Father if children and grandchildren can gather. I can see you often. Parents can meet children and grandchildren are very cool," replied Mr. Hadinata.
"Add more children, it's okay," said Bu Tari now.
Ervita and Pertiwi looked at each other and laughed. Actually Pertiwi and Ervita themselves have installed contraception. It is intended to prevent pregnancy. The sky was already 2 years old, and Irene would also soon be 2 years old.
"Add another one-on-one well," said Bu Tari.
"Two, ma'am," said Ervita. Indeed initially he and Pandu intend only two children alone is enough.
"You added it, Vi ... is young" said Pertiwi. Yes, according to Pertiwi now Ervita is young. He is still not 30 years old. Therefore, it is still young and can give birth again. Pertiwi is now 32 years old. I feel old enough to get pregnant and have another child.
There Pandu and Damar are also just smiling. When parents ask for the child's addition, they are also happy. However, on the one hand also pity their wives.
"What spirit is it? It's not a 17th race," replied Pandu with a laugh.
Mr. Hadinata who listened to the words of the children and his daughter-in-law laughed. "You know, Ndu .. I know you have a boy. Can take care of it later," said Mr. Hadinata.
Pandu then spoke to Ervita. "Open the factory again, Nda?" tanyakanya.
Ervita just chuckled. Not giving an answer to her husband. Then Ervita spoke again.
"Barengan again aja yuk Mbak .. used to Sky and Irene was also almost together. Later," replied Ervita.
"Don't you?" ask Pertiwi to Ervita.
"If Mbak Pertiwi wants it is nothing. However, in half a year, let Irene release ASI first," replied Ervita.
Pandu then smiled and spoke. "Yes, open a factory" he said.
What Pandu said made all the family really laugh. Apparently Pandu itself is still spirit. Ervita is also young. So it is still strong if you want to give birth normally. However, the family will also support whatever later method of delivery is chosen.
"Tuh, the spirit is Pandu. No one is as excited as Pandu really," Damar replied with a laugh.
"Mom and Dad support it. Definitely supportive. Definitely help ngasuh grandkids later," replied Miss Tari.
"Yes, I would like to know that the last boy will be loved" said Mr. Hadinata.
Perhaps Mr. Hadinata thought that his grandson was the new man of Heaven. If, Pandu and Ervita add another baby, hope to be given a boy. Even if you want a man or a woman the same.
"Here after this prayer together and imitated Mr. nggih," said Pandu later.
All that feels incomplete if the back is closed with Sholat together. Led by his Father. Therefore, Pandu wants to end Punggahan by praying together. Everyone who was there nodded their heads.
After eating together. They took ablution, and then Mr. Hadinata led them to pray together. It is very solemn to pray at the end of the night. While asking for blessings from Allah to be able to undergo fasting in Ramadan later smoothly and get the perfect reward.
Besides, everyone apologized to each other. Like the sungeman tradition on a holiday. Pertiwi, Damar, Ervita, and Pandu apologized to their parents in turn. May the blessing of parents always be with them, bringing blessings and fortune to their children.
Happy fasting for all readers who run it. Ramadan Kareem. 💚💚
