Being Match with a Manly Man

S2 - Eat Your Own Speech..

Now both Kezia and Revano's parents have worn traditional Javanese clothing. Kezia now wears a rag and various jasmine flowers attached to his head. They will start the 7 monthly Javanese tradition with a tradition called tingkepan. The show starts from Sungkeman. The prospective father and the future mother should do a condolence to their respective parents to ask for blessings so that the process of pregnancy and birth of the future mother runs smoothly and safely.

The next event is the flush process. Kezia sat on a chair and then splashed with water from 7 sources and 7 flowers by people such as husband, parents of future mothers, parents of future fathers and other cousins. After the traditional procession of Java flush, proceed to the next event that is the procession of dropping raw chicken eggs from inside kemben, this task can only be done by Revano because as a prospective father, as a prospective father, this Javanese tradition aims that the baby who will be born can easily be the delivery process and without any obstacles. Revano's next event must decide the thread of the lawe or janur dance wrapped around Kezia's stomach, this is as a symbol of breaking the baby's ari-ari later at birth.

The next Javanese tradition event is Brojolan. Where Kezia will be dressed in a sarong and each of which is held at the end by each candidate Grandpa on the left there is Papa Kenzo and on the right there is Daddy Rey. Revano then put one young ivory coconut from the top and will be accepted by Mama Sonya (prospective Grandma from the prospective Mother) this is done three times. After that followed by the second young coconut ivory and was accepted by Mommy Risa (the future Grandma from the prospective Father). Mommy Risa received the coconut while carrying it with a shawl and then carrying the coconut like holding a baby and taking it to the room like putting a baby to sleep.

The next event is a change of clothes or commonly called a pantes-pantes event. Kezia changed clothes seven times. When wearing the clothes to the six invited guests will say 'unbecoming' and when Kezia wears his seventh dress and the invited guests must have answered 'already appropriate'. Then the cloths worn earlier after replacing with the next cloth will be placed under Kezia's feet. So long the clothes will accumulate around Kezia. After finishing with the seventh dress Revano helped to occupy Kezia on top of the pile of cloth clothes so that Kezia was now like a chicken incubating her eggs, this Javanese tradition symbolizes that the mother will look after the baby who is still in the womb with affection.

Revano feeds Kezia with tumpeng and white red porridge, this jaww tradition has the same meaning as the affection of a husband to his wife who is pregnant with his child. Revano smiled as he fed Kezia. Now Kezia so added his knowledge about the Javanese tradition that has been hereditary done by her husband's family.

"It's a shame we finally feel the traditional Javanese tradition of my pregnancy."

"Yes dear. Thank God we can finally feel the traditional events of Java smoothly."

Time passes so quickly. Now comes the time to the last event, which is the procession of selling cendol and rujak by Revano and Kezia. Revano who carries an umbrella to protect his wife while selling cendol. Revano who received the money from the sale and put it in a container while Kezia who will serve the buyers who pay with fractional money of the past. After that Kezia also had to make his own potion. The rujak he had to make was a shaved rujak. Kezia must make it himself and be accompanied by Revano. Shaved rujak made from 7 kinds of various fruits and Kezia had to concoct her own spices itself not with the help of her husband. If the spice is delicious, it means that the child will be born female, while if the spice tastes bad, it means that the child who will be born is male.

Kezia-made shaved rut tastes good and it is true that Kezia and Revano already know the sex of their baby because they have done the ultrasound. While the invited guests are going to queue up to buy shaved rujak with old-fashioned fractional money made of clay. This procession means that the child who will be born later will get abundant sustenance. The seven-month procession of Javanese tradition is quite long. The event went well and without any hitch. Revano and Kezia would like to thank the sisters, friends and other invited guests who have attended Kezia's seven-monthly pregnancy event. Revano is happy to feel this tradition.

Reno also yesterday also carried out this tradition together with Sandra. Now the show is over. Reno sees a strange gurgle from his wife.

"Honey? What's wrong with you?"

"It's okay hubby."

"Don't lie to me..."

"My stomach hurts. Looks like I'm having another fake contraction."

Reno can usually relieve his wife's abdominal pain. Slowly Reno rubbed Sandra's stomach. Now Sandra can feel better.

"How about honey now?"

"It's better hubby."

"We'd better go to the room."

Sandra nodded. Reno then took his wife.

Keano had also seen Aulia, the son of Mr. Ustadz who would be betrothed to him. But Keano was not interested in him. Keano was already happy because she was about to marry Elena soon. Now they're done with their show. Keano invites Elena to meet her sister.

"Hopefully the birth is smooth, Kezia" said Elena.

"Aamiin, thank you sister-in-law," said Kezia smiling.

"Yes we are 3 years apart" replied Revano.

"It seems like you are too" Kezia said.

"Yes we're 2 years apart" Elena replied.

"Hahaha, you ate your own words Keano."

"What indeed?" elena asked curiously.

"My sister used to tease my husband like older women. Now he feels the same way, too" Kezia chuckled.

Keano only smiled wryly at the words of his brother.

"This brother, that's all I'm talking about" said Keano who was now embarrassed.

"That's the truth, right? Are you ashamed that Elena knows?"

"No" he answered briefly.

"Elena, you have to be patient if you have a husband like Keano. My sister this guy is a real bitch. My brother reminds you to be extra patient if you marry him."

"Sister......." Keano stared hard at Kezia.

"I'm just talking about facts, my brother. Don't be angry, the bride-to-be shouldn't be mad."

"Darling, you don't talk like that."

"Yes dear," said Kezia smiling.

"If the same Revano brother can be soft this is very different from me."

"Because you're such a bitch."

"But the older brother was like Tom and Jerry when he met Revano."

Keano still remembered the time of Revano and Kezia if they met each other. They have also fought frequently since marriage. But when Kezia got pregnant Kezia's attitude changed 180°.

"That was Keano. Now no, because Big Brother already loves Revano. Now we love each other and we will soon have children" Kezia said, rubbing her growing belly. Every time Kezia rubbed her stomach, her daughter always responded with her kick.
