AISYAH LOVE VERSE

Wedding Ningrat

Today, the residence of Kanjeng Raden Mas Surya Atmaja looks very crowded and lively. Downstream passing by people with various kinds of busyness.

The women look graceful wearing kebaya clothes and shouldered on the head. While the men are seen wearing batik clothes of various shades and colors, some are seen wearing blangkon, which is a head covering a type of kupluk hat typical of Jogjakarta.

Apparently, today is the wedding day of Raden Surya's youngest daughter, named Kanjeng Raden Ayu Windanarti Atmaja.

Actually, the hustle and bustle at Raden Surya's residence, has been going on since seven days ago. Where various processions of typical wedding customs Jogja carried out.

The traditional procession before the wedding, begins with the installation of Tarub and Tuwuhan. Tarub is a house-roofed coconut leaves are accustomed to webbing which also comes from coconut leaves.

While Tuwuhan, are plants installed on the right-left side of the gate. Tuwuhan consists of fruitful king banana trees, cane sticks, young coconuts, leaf of landu, and yellow janur.

The installation of Tarub and Tuwuhan, is a marker that the owner of the house will carry out the celebration of a ghost or marriage.

The next customary procession is Siraman. That is the procession of bathing the bride with seven-figure flower water.

This Siraman procession contains the meaning of cleaning yourself or purifying yourself. The bride-to-be is bathed by her parents, as well as the grooms who are considered successful in their marriage.

After Siraman, proceed with the Ngerik procession, which removes fine hair around the forehead. This Ngerik procession contains the meaning of removing all bad things from the bride-to-be.

Later that night, the procession continues with Midodareni. Midodareni comes from the word Widodari or Bidadari. In this Midodareni procession, the bride-to-be is dressed like an angel, and pingit in the room, without being allowed to go out though.

During the procession of Midodareni, also directly with the traditional procession of Tantingan, where the father of the bride-to-be asked the steadiness of his daughter to marry.

And, today is the peak event, the wedding procession.

I who have also been present since two days ago here, also do not want to lose enthusiasm to welcome the happy day of Winda, my cousin.

Today I also wear kebaya, a special uniform that has been prepared for family members. The difference is, I don't wear a bun on my head. Of course, my crown must stay awake in my hijab.

After getting dressed, I went into the room. Seen Winda sitting in front of the mirror, she had just finished in makeup.

The bride fairies are seen packing and tidying up all her equipment, then putting it in a special box.

Winda looks very beautiful and graceful in a dark green Paes Ageng wedding dress. Beautiful bunks with shimmering sunduk decorations and strands of jasmine flowers that dangle to his chest, look very suitable with the beautiful face of Winda. Vinda really looks like a princess of the king.

" Sir,... Masya Allah, you are very beautiful "My words praise Vinda.

" Eh, whine "He smiled as soon as I saw me coming.

" It must be beautiful dong, today I am the queen" said Winda while laughing crisply.

" You will also miss "Winda continued.

" Oh,. Win, um,.. Don't want me. I just finished Win School. Not enough a week I received the DIPLOMA, cook should IJAB SAH ? " I responded to the words of Winda in a joking manner.

" I want to go to college Win, please,... Don't want me to spit marriage "Say me while tidying up the back end to the Vinda kebaya.

" Where are you going to college, Aishy ? "

" I'm going to Jakarta Win,. "

" In fact, I also still want to focus on college, want to not rush marriage. He even asked me to marry my father. You take the example of Ms. Syila and Ms. Reni, who were also married while still in college, and could finish college well " said Vinda.

Madam Syila and Mbak Reni are the older sisters of Winda. For a moment there was a cloud over the face of Winda.

I know, Winda got married because he was in a match, just like his two brothers used to be.

" Yes, though,... Pakde Surya there is actually kog Win, right after marriage can still go to college again. I also, if after college later, then suddenly my soul mate came, yes it's okay, just marry me. The marriage requirement does not have to graduate from college first, right, he he he "

I'm trying to comfort Winda.

" Kreeek,...! "

Suddenly the door of the room opened from the outside. Budhe Sunarti, Winda's mother, went into the room to see her daughter's readiness.

" ndock,.. Cah Ayu, get ready. The bridegroom has come "Budhe Sunarti said while stroking Winda's back.

" Oh, there's Ayesha too,."

" Budhe Inggeh, please,. "

I smiled and bowed towards Budhe Sunarti.

" Iyo ndok, my,. Must be Deket-deket Winda,. let me pepet ketangsangan "

" He he he, he,. "

I just laughed a little, confused to answer Budhe Sunarti's words.

Finally, the wedding procession of Winda and Dimas was completed.

The ijab-kabul procession went quite smoothly. Dimas only need to recite one sentence of ijab-kabul, then SAH !

The two of them are now sitting together at the beach.

Dimas was the son of Raden Sayekti, who was a descendant of the nobility of the Raden Kertapati line. Raden Kertapati is the brother of Raden Atmaja. And Raden Atmaja, is the great-grandfather of the father also Pakde Surya. Meaning,. Winda and Dimas are still in one line of family genealogy.

If at a glance, between Dimas and Winda does look quite harmonious. But actually, the age difference between the two is quite far. She is 13 years older than Vinda.

Yes, so it is if the soul mate. Cannot be asked, or refused.

" Hello, though,.. Jeng Wijaya's,.. Duh, old man just met "

A woman greets and greets mom. I sat next to my mother, smiling and feeling for her.

" Thank God, healthy. This is me again on a diet loh jeng, I have been a vegetarian for a year. Look, I'm slimmer, right now ? "

Jeng Arta tilted her body slightly, showing off her waist to Mother with great pride.

" Whoa, if Jeng Arta mah has been beautiful since Jeng. No diet has also been slim kog jeng,.." Say mom while smiling knot.

" ah, uh,.. Jeng Wijaya could praise him "

Jeng Arta smiled sumringah.

" When, by the way, was Jeng's ghost,..? gee,.. Aisha is a girl now. Dak long followed Winda " Said Jeng Arta while glancing at me.

Jeng Arta is the cousin of Semarang's father. So it's still my Budhe too.

" Aisyah said she wanted to go to college first kog jeng, do not want to rush marriage. Mirza is also still relaxed life celibate. So if asked when the ghost, it seems like a long time ago,. "

" Don't be long. Mumpung Aisyah is still seger-segernya,. Tuh, uh,.. Stay put.. Nice raden-raden lined up there "

Jeng Arta lifted his thumb towards the group of young men who were busy chatting. Among them were Mirza, my cousins Hendra and Toni, Malik, Febri, and some I did not know. They were all owners of the title Raden from his parents.

" If I'm up to Jeng's child, don't want to force. It is up to the soul mate later, whether raden or not, the soul mate is already the provisions of God jeng, or,.. "

" Eiiits, don't be so Jeng. Especially for girls. We as parents have to choose. Look at the Seed, the Weight, and the Bebet. If until Aisha married an ordinary man, then lost his noble title. His descendants no longer have blood "

" The title of nobility is not absolute as a reference to Jeng kog,.. The important thing is that religion and morality are good. For me, that's enough "

" Waduuuh Jeng, the noble lineage was different from ordinary people. The blood must be guarded. If all noble descendants are the same mindset as that jeng, it could be exhausted noble descendants.there are no more good raden-raden or raden ayu "

Jeng Arta's tone began to look cynical.

I who heard it felt so bad. He could talk like that to my mom. Though he should have known, that the mother is also not a noble descendant.

" For me the happiness of the child is the main Jeng,.. Mas Wijaya also did not want to match his son"

" In the match, it is only the beginning that does not like. Witeng Tresno, jalaran soko. Love comes from habit. If we live together, love will grow"

" If Arta jeng wants to match Arta's son jeng, yes Monggo, please. It's up to Jeng Arta,."

I try to keep speaking politely.

" For the Core family of the bride, grandparents, uncles, and cousins, it is permissible to go up on the coat of arms, to be photographed with the two brides "

Wedding ceremony attendants make announcements through speakers.

" lady, mama,. Come there, it's time to take pictures of the nuclear family in the call for photographs at the guarantee with the two brides "

I hurried to invite Mom, glad to find the right reason to immediately avoid Budhe Arta who super nyinyir talk.

" If it's monggo Jeng Arta, I went up to the pelaminan first to take a picture of the family "Party mother to Jeng Arta.

The traditional procession of the marriage of Winda is direct until the afternoon.

Starting from the procession of Ijab kabul earlier, then proceed with the procession of Advanced, Submission of Sanggan, Balangan Gantal, Wijikan, Pondongan, Tampa Kaya, Dahar Klimah, Ngunjuk Rujak Degan, Mapag Besan, etc, the final one is the Sungkeman procession. That is where the two brides perform the ritual of sungkem/substantial asking for blessing and apology to both parents.

Winda was seen crying during the sungkeman process earlier.

Next, tonight, there will be a wedding reception night.

Is it finished there ?

Apparently not, the next day, though,. Willa will be in boyong to the groom's house. There, in the groom's house, a series of ceremonies of customs that must be carried out are lined up in his stead.

Phew,.. I just imagined that I was exhausted.

Incredible yes this noble descent marriage procession.

I think, if I marry later, I don't want to do all these traditional rituals.

Upps !! Marriage?? Kog I suddenly thought about marriage too?? Lecture Aisyah,.. College,. !
