Right on Thursday, is a special day for Tanu and Rani. Thursday is their twenty-seven year wedding anniversary. Rani and Tanu agree to celebrate their wedding anniversary at her home.
They will invite some residents of the village of Slope Hill Barat to attend the event which will be held later tonight.
It just so happens that today all the members of the Tanu family are at home. They work together to prepare what is needed for the evening.
Riko and Raka got a part of arranging and tidying up the furniture of the house. The moon and her mother were preparing in the kitchen, preparing a menu of dishes.
While Tanu, take note of anyone who will be invited to the event later tonight.
On the porch of the house, Tama was playing with her sister. He loved his sister very much. Many times he kissed Rama's cheeks and forehead.
While they were working on their errands, Bono and Rika came to the house.
" Sweet sister Assalamualaikum.." Sapa Bono rubbed Tama and Rama's hair.
" Waalaikumsalam.." replied Tama while looking at Bono's face with a sharp look.
" Why are you here? Where are your parents?" ask Bono.
" They're all inside." Tama replied with a lisp.
" Oh, all right.Can we come in?" ask Rika.
Tama nodded her head. Then he went back to playing with his sister again.
" Bono, luckily you came. I have something to talk to you about. Are you gonna be here long?"
" Oh, no. We just want to play for a little while. Rika wants to take a walk. Then I brought him here."
" Oh, all right, please sit down. I'll get you a drink first, yeah."
" Don't bother Mr. Tanu. I'm probably just for a minute."
" It's okay, you guys must be thirsty. Let me get you a drink."
" Yes already then, Mr. Tanu. Oh yeah, what event do you want here, sir? Why is the house so clean and neat." Bono asked as he looked around the room.
"Well, that's what I'll talk about later. But first, let me get you a drink."
" Good Mr. Tanu, thank you.
" Mom, Moon... Bono and his wife came. You meet them first, I want to make them drink."
" Oh let's just Mom, Dad. Daddy's with them. It's Mom's job."
" No Ma'am, same Moon Mother meet them. Dad's gonna make you a drink."
" All right, Dad.." Rani said then went to the living room with the Moon.
Rani and Moon walked into the living room, they greeted warmly at Bono and Rika.
" Bono, Rika. We wanted to go to your house."
" Yes Bu Rani. My wife asked for the company of the streets. Yes, I brought them here."
" Oh, when will the baby be born? Looks like Rika's stomach is getting bigger."
" Eh, maybe this month, ma'am. But, I still haven't felt like giving birth." Rika said while holding her big belly.
" Well, I'll have a little baby soon. Surely when he grows up he will be a strong child like his father." said Moon, praising.
" Hehe, yes the Moon.but, tomorrow when my son grows up, I will make him a doctor. Let me treat the sick. Don't be like his father, like to fight."
" Rika, it's okay if your son becomes a strong boy. He deserves that. In order to protect himself. And who knows, it could protect the crowd as well."
" Yes ma'am, but if you fight that way, someone will get hurt. I don't want my son later, why-why."
" Yes, wait for him to be born and big. Don't impose your will on her, Rika. Let him choose the path he wills, as long as it is good for him. You as the mother are in charge of watching and guiding him, so as not to make a wrong path."
" Yes, Mom, I understand. I'll try to follow Bu Rani's advice." Rican Speech.
Tanu comes out of the kitchen and brings Rika and Bono a drink.
" Rika, Bono. After that we'll talk about what I wanted to tell you."
" Now, look Bono, Rika. We actually want to have a small party to celebrate our happy day. For that, we want to invite some poor hillside villagers to join us in enlivening our happy day later tonight. Who do you think we should invite?"
" Eh, underprivileged citizens, yes. If according to my calculations, there are about forty people who are less able sir. They're all average to erratic building workers his workday."
" You can write here their names. I prepared the invitation sheet. Just give it a name." Said Tanu while thrusting paper and pen at Bono.
On the terrace of the house, Tama is still fun to accompany Rama to play. He was happy to often make Rama laugh. But sometimes, he was irritated when Rama cried, he could not make Rama stop crying. Until his mother intervened to calm his sister.
" Rama, if it's big tomorrow what will it be? Tama asked with her speech still slurred.
Rama just said something vague, making Tama become confused.
" Do you want to be a pilot? Do you want to be an army? Do you want to be a teacher like Dad? Let's answer Rama.."
Rama just smiled seeing his brother, he continued chattering indistinctly. Tama can also explain it. Then he gave the answer to his own question.
" Well, Rama wants to be a pilot, yeah. He also wanted to be a pilot. We can fly around the world. By plane..ngg..ngenngg...ngg..." Said Tama while playing his toy plane over Rama who was lying down.
" But if you're a pilot, you have to pray a lot. So that we don't fall while flying. If it falls, the plane will explode and burn. Duaaaarr... We're gonna die in the fire." Tama said while practicing when his plane crashed and exploded.
He accidentally dropped his plane on his sister's face. Rama was shocked and cried loudly. Tama tried to calm him down. But as he tried, Rama cried loudly. This made Rani and everyone in the house shocked. Rani immediately went out to Rama and Tama.
" Qama... Rama why are you crying?" Rani asked and raised Rama's tiny body and carried it.
Frightened, he wept because Rama wept because of his mistake. He did not dare to answer his mother's question. She was afraid that her mother would scold her.
The moon came out because she heard Tama's cry. Then he asked his mother.
" Why is Rama crying, Mom? Here, Tama also cried." Tanya Last month held Tama and stroked her hair.
" I don't know the Moon, Tama didn't answer Mom's question. Uh, she was crying when I asked Rama why she was crying."
" Maybe he was afraid of Mom that she was angry. Tama... I asked, Why is Rama crying? just answer me, brother won't scold you."
" Tama just dropped the Tama plane on the face of Rama Kak. Forgive Tama. Maybe Rama is in pain." said Tama while crying as she pleased.
" The plane is small, light too, so there is no way Rama will cry" said Moon.
" Yes, Tama. I'm just surprised. I thought there was a bad guy coming here. Now, stop crying. If you still cry, Rama will not stop crying."
" Good Mom. Forgive Tama. I promise I won't make Rama cry again."
" Yes, it's okay. I don't blame you, though. Next time be careful when playing anything. Don't get about your sister. Even if the plane is small, if you get an eye also hurts."
" Yes, Mother... Tama will be careful." said Tama then stop crying.
" Yes, I brought Rama inside. Looks like he needs a drink. Let it be the same moon."
" Alright, Tama. You're the same Moon Sister, yes. Rama wants you to suckle first."
Tama nodded. Then ask to get off the sling of the Moon. Suddenly he picked up his plane and threw his toy plane into the pool.
" Tama... Why did you throw the plane away? You will not have any more toys."
" The plane is evil, making the sister cry. I hate him, I'd better throw it away to eat fish."
" Haha... The fish is not on the plane. Look, do the fish want to eat it?"
Tama shook her head then she took a small stick to pull over her plane and took it.
" Haha.. How was the plane taken again? It's okay if you don't like it. Tomorrow I'll buy you a better one."
" Tama wants this. Just save the big brother's money for school."
" Tama, big brother's money. Don't you worry."
Tama shook her head. He still did not want to, Moon bought toys for him again. He also played with the plane he had just taken from the pool. He did not want to make his brother disappointed in him, because he did not appreciate the gift of his brother and instead threw it away.
Before long, Bono and Rika come out of the living room following Rani and Tanu. They've finished discussing the show later tonight. Bono and Rika say goodbye and immediately go home with an invitation sheet, for forty villagers.
This is the first time Tanu and Rani have held an event, after more than twenty years of building her household. They intend to throw a party to melt the atmosphere. Terror that threatens their safety makes their lives uncomfortable. Tanu also plans to attend religious leaders to hold a joint prayer for the safety of Tanu and his family.
