Episode 12's

At the end of May 1999, Mr. Danu accompanied Prayudi and Proborini, with Prastowo of course, and without Danu's mother, came to Datin's house in Manding to propose. At home has been welcomed by his mother Datin accompanied by his brother, the late Mr. Marto who became Dukuh there.

The atmosphere of the application although very simple but very hidmat and familiar. Even Mr. Danu who turned out to be a joking person, far from the shadow of Parinah and Datin, often threw temptations to his son about the impatience of Pras to edit the Village Flower.

He said Ms. Danu could not attend because of the new recovery from Typhus pain, which he said would concentrate on marriage alone.

The condition of Ms. Danu is actually still shocked by the development that exists. It turned out that all missed his plans and expectations. That Ami, the niece he secured at home for prospective companion Pras, secretly in love with Pras' best friend, Darto. It was spared from his observation that it turned out that his son's friend was free to go in and out of Pras' house, and was considered like his own son stole the heart of his future daughter-in-law. As for Pras, and Datin is very clever and patient restraint so it is not realized that the barrier bu Danu for their relationship is actually becoming the fertilizer of their love. And the peak of her agitation was the blessing of her husband, KRT Danu Sutaryo, for the hubumgan Pras and Datin.

Ms. Danu was forced to accept the decision because it seemed like everyone was happy about it.

The wedding took place the same year, in August 1999 in simple terms. The wedding took place at Prastowo's house which was only attended by relatives and close relatives of the two families and friends of the bride and groom. Sida Mukti cloth so used for family uniforms at the wedding ceremony Pras.

Prastowo looks very fascinated with his wife. The best wedding fairies in Yogya are brought in to conjure Datin, which is basically already beautiful. Now in makeup becomes very manglingi, if the Javanese say, which means people do not recognize in a positip connotation because it is so beautiful.

“ This, the feeling of the show how longaaa really huh? I'll get some rest soon.” Bisik Pras to Datin while glancing affectionately and a seductive smile to his wife.

“ Yes, I've also been waiting for a masseuse in the room. Mbak Rini is very good, understanding, because he knows I'm exhausted, yesterday will be busy with his preparation, he continues to bring his masseur.” Answer Datin with serious plate face.

“ Hah! …….Yg really Tin??? Duuuh.... there is just Rini's mom.” Answer Pras kesel.

Datin could not hold amused, he laughed while covering his mouth, but he soon came back again seriously because in front of him there were many lecturers, friends Pras, who will be safe.

“ Wow very happy this lovebirds bride, from earlier friendly kidding, so want to follow!” friend said. “ Congratulations yes bro!”

“ Thank you!, Yes... so follow soon! Happiness is delayed!” pras replied.

As a wedding gift Prastowo, Mr. Danu bought a house in Condong Catur one complex and close to the house of Prayudi, which is also a wedding gift Prayudi from Pak Danu time.

Ms Danu the same message Datin: “ Nduk cah ayu, even though there is already a house for you, do you not mind staying here with us to? Houses as big as this with many rooms later so suwung (jw: empty), besides who helped me manage this batik store.”

Datin doesn't mind but she complains about her husband's decision. Datin did not hold a grudge against Danu's mother, because it seemed that Ms. Danu had resigned and accepted the situation sincerely.

Initially Pras kept Datin's feelings by wanting to bring his wife to his new home. But Datin gave input to Pras with heart: “ How about for a while we live in this family first, so that the heart of the mother is not broken, impressed us mbaleleo. Later if we can find the right person to help the business mom here we just moved, so mas?.”

Finally Pras with Datin stayed in Tembi. Every day after accompanying Pras breakfast and serving until Pras left for the new campus Datin standby in pendopo, accompanying Ami. Ami will be married after iedul fitri in 2000, around the beginning of February, so there are still about 3 months left Ami stay in Tembi, because the fasting month he had to return to Purwokerto.

This morning, Mr. Danu and his mother had just left to serve their relatives in Solo. Ms. Danu said that maybe their new afternoon arrived, so no need to wait for lunch.

Datin quickly became familiar with Ami. As they had the opportunity to chat together while sitting in amben, Ami held Datin's palm and spoke: 'Ami:

“ Tin, pray my fate can be as bright as you yes!”, Ami spoke while her eyes glazed over.

While breathing, and smiling Ami said: “ Yes...I will try to love mas Darto with all my heart.”

“ Lho…??? You want to get married in the near future when you are not sure?” ask Datin. Datin began to ask what exactly was messing with Ami's mind. Ami, a beautiful Javanese girl, with pliable eyelashes and a soft face. Curiously Datin continued asking: “ what exactly is bothering your mind so that you seem doubtful?”

Ami hugged Datin while sobbing, “ I'm sorry I did Tin, I shouldn't have said this to you. But I know you will forgive me, because ever since I have known you more closely, I know why mas Pras loves you so much, because you are sincere and wise and ngayomi. Everyone near you feels calm.”

Datin began to be able to figure out the cause of Ami's baldness. Datin wisely gave Ami time to be able to evaporate the uneg-uneg in his chest. Gently Datin said while stroking Ami's back: “ Ami.... do you love Prastowo?”

Ami while still in Datin's arms and his head was on Datin's shoulder, nodded and said: “ Yes,.....

Then Ami pulled himself from Datin's embrace, while looking at Datin he continued to talk: “ But...., you don't misunderstand me first. I'm honest, that I'm sincere and happy mas Pras married you, with a person I can freely and trust to tell him everything.”

“ All I know,... bu Danu used to be very eager to have a daughter-in-law according to her choice, who at that time was not me. Then I heard from my late father that Ms. Danu had brought her former candidates home while waiting for Mas Pras to finish college. It's been a long time since I just went to college, I guess 5 years. I myself have transferred all this to the Above, I prepared mentally for the worst that would happen between us, but Pras himself never spoke to me. Until one day you know and see for yourself, he proposed to me after returning from my father's grave the other day.” Papar Datin, and then he continued: “ During that time you know, 5 years of your closeness, I do not know and do not want to know the development of your relationship. And last I knew you were dating Darto, Mas Pras' gentle and shy friend.” Until there Datin stopped talking waiting for Ami's reaction.

“ I'm frank with you, because you deserve to know, so that there is no suspicion between us Tin. I'm afraid of losing friends as good as you.” Ami said, then with a long sigh Ami continued to speak :

“ At that time, finished I took an accounting management course, Bude came and told my parents to take me to help work at his store in Yogya. During my time in Yogya, Bude always told me about what mas Pras liked and disliked, bude taught me the manners of this house and also woke up mas Pras every morning while preparing his drink. I was prepared to accompany and become the wife of mas Pras. I according to what Bude said, because honestly that the more days grow my love to mas Pras.” …..Until here, Ami's tears had begun to pour, Datin took the box of tissue and pushed it to Ami, and then Ami continued:

“ Until one day, about 2 years I have been in this house, bude had mas Pras send me to Klaten to take an order of cloth jumputan. On that occasion, Mas Pras asked me if I had a girlfriend yet. I was wrong to think, I was so happy then that I thought mas Pras would declare his love for me.

But the happiness was not long because mas Pras said that he would introduce me to someone. I fell silent, wondering if Mas Pras did not know that I was prepared for him. I did not agree but did not refuse as well, I was surprised why the development is like this, why mas Pras was not told to know bude before, why I had already loved mas Pras.

Arriving home, I cried in the room, and I next week pamit bude return to Purwokerto kangen and want to see the same father's mother. Because he could not go to Yogya at any time, he was still serving as head of LLD at Purwokerto. It is usually every 4 or 6 months I go back to Purwokerto, about a week at home and go back to Yogya again. But I was thinking, why else would I go back to Yogya, but there was nothing I was waiting for here.

Not until a week, mas Pras came with his friend, mas Darto. I want to go back to Yogya. They stayed at home 2 nights while I played to Baturaden and other tourist attractions. For a moment I forgot my sadness, and was happy with their jokes, and I was impressed with Darto who was very mature, wise and careful when talking, different from Pras who liked to joke. My parents were impressed with Darto.

Finally I went back to Yogya with them, using the car mas Darto. Until I knew you when Mas Pras wanted to go to England at that time. During the mas Pras to England, mas Darto often played to Tembi, playing guitar while recording his vidiography and photography equipment mas Pras, which said bude was used to mas Darto so, already like his own son. On the sidelines of it we steal time to chat in the showroom, and we arguably start dating.

Until one day I fit into Purwokerto, mas Darto Came, and proposed directly to my parents, and the promise soon would take his parents to Purwokerto. For a moment I was happy to see my parents blooming happy flowers, but there was something left behind in this heart so as not to love Darto with all my heart. Although as a man mas Darto is ideal, the posture supports-galant said man, mature, wise, snacking and his future is good. Yaaa.sosok idaman.

And at the time when the three of us with mas Darto and mas Pras came to see you then, I, mas Darto, and both parents mas Darto just returned to Yogya from Puwokerto, lamaran.”

To the extent that Ami told his chronology, Datin was not sure what to say. What is clear now is that she knows how Ami feels about her husband. So he can not carelessly sumbar intimacy as Pras did a day to Datin in front of anyone. At least 3 months into the future this should hold back a little. Then Datin was startled as Ami hugged her back while saying:

“ I now feel relieved, mas Pras already in the right hands and baiiik. I myself wonder why I trust you so much that you are the right person for Mas Pras. You deserve to be happy for your patience and your faith in love. I've heard quite a bit about bude's treatment of you first. And with your patience, Bude can change, pay respect to both of you. “

Datin returned Ami's embrace, shedding tears. Datin thinks that this is the negative side of the feudal mind path that takes a lot of victims of people's feelings, cultural heritage that does not need to be maintained.
