Muara Kasih Single Mother
Towards a Fitri Day
It does not feel like just counting a few more days, the month of Ramadan will soon be over. It felt like only yesterday they welcomed the month of Ramadan full of grace and forgiveness, but now they just have to count the fasting days that are only a few days away and also welcome Eid.
Every Ramadan has a story, including this time which Ervita himself said is a very memorable Ramadan. All that, also because Indi who learned to fast. Although not from the first day of Ramadan fasting, then on the third day, but until now Indi who looks so excited and also not infrequently the little girl cheers her Father and Mother.
"Yeah, the fasting day of Ramadan is only a few days away, yayah the spirit of yah. He said Eyang, later on Eid Al-Fitr Day, we enjoy the delicious Ketupat Lebaran," Indi now told his father.
Listening to what Indi said, Pandu laughed. The man immediately grabbed Indi and rubbed the top of his head. Little Indi alone can give encouragement to him.
"You are really cool, Ma'am .. know where we will eat Eid al-Fitr Ketupat Lebaran?" ask Pandu.
"From Eyang ... The story was willing to buy ketupatan, later given rice and make ketupat. Indi knows dong, Indi dengerin story Eyang," he replied.
The man laughed again. Indi is small when there are parents who tell stories can focus and listen to what is told. Evidently now Indi told it to Pandu. However, it is customary in the Hadinata family to enjoy Ketupat complete with Sambal Goreng and also Opor Ayam on Eid al-Fitr.
"You pinter loh, Ma'am ... Yayah is proud of you. Only a few days of fasting is finished, next year Mbak Didi spirit again yah fastanya," reply Pandu.
"Okey Yaah .. ready," Indi replied with a nod of her head.
Ervita who listened to Pandu and Indi's talk also laughed. That is how Yayah and the boy are. If you are together, being able to love each other and talk also feels so overwhelming. Sometimes also with Indi.
"Later Lebaran, Mba Didi want to buy what is the same Nda and Jayah?" ask Ervita now.
"Dibelikan aja Nastar cake, Nda. At school, Flo was her mother selling cookies, Nda. He told me that the best cake is Nastar Cake. Didi wants to, Nda," he replied.
"Well, later bought Nda and Yayah the cake well," replied Ervita.
"Yes, tomorrow you buy it for Didi," replied Pandu as well.
"Yeay, thanks Jayah and Nda. Matur nuwun," reply Indi.
Now Pandu and Ervita were laughing, as the daughter was speaking in Javanese. Saying the word thank you into the Javanese language is matur nuwun. That means his daughter is indeed learning a lot, including by learning the Javanese language as well. However, Javanese is the mother tongue, so a little also teach Indi to use Javanese, although for everyday life, their conversational language uses Indonesian.
After that, Indi went from his yayah lap, then he invited Irene to play together. It was Ervita's turn, who was sitting near her husband. It was like alternating with Indi.
"His Nda's gonna stick?" ask Pandu.
"Yes, change with his daughter Jayah" replied Ervita.
Pandu laughing. His wife and daughters are often like that. Pandu also understood it all because he was the only man in the house. Not infrequently his wife and children who are girls ask for attention from him.
"Why, My Heart?" ask Pandu now.
"Nothing. Just want to sit next to you" Ervita replied with a smile looking at her husband.
"More than sitting next to each other is also nothing," replied Pandu.
Ervita quickly shook her head. She then spoke to her husband. "Shame, Mas. The kids are still up. It's still the month of fasting too. Hold yourself," he replied.
Hearing what Ervita said Pandu then laughed. He then nodded his head. What Ervita said was true. Now alone, not far from his presence there are Indi and Irene who compactly play together. Simply sit side by side and watch her children playing together.
"Living a few days has been lebaran well, Nda ... This Ramadan is very memorable because Indi who also observe fasting with us. Sometimes he's just so excited" Pandu replied.
"Truely .. his son Yayah was always excited. Incredibly excited. Since starting to fast, until now never ventured," replied Ervita.
"Proud of you, Dinda. Indi also taught Nda and Yayahnya to be eager to undergo fasting. Our daughter's getting bigger, getting pinter. Hopefully later Irene will also pinter like her Mpa yah," replied Pandu.
Ervita nodded her head. "Amin, hopefully. Only if at home, his makama still dominates well, Mas. Look at it," replied Ervita.
The two laughed watching Indi who set his sister playing. Maybe the first child is like that. Her hobbies are organizing and inviting her sister to follow what she wants. However, they laughed and watched. Gathering with family on Ramadan is also a blessing.
