Cantings

Episode 17

On Thursday afternoon they landed at Selaparang, the old airport of West Lombok. They immediately drove to Central Lombok to the Novotel Coralia hotel in Praya, because of its location close to the village of Sukarara-Jonggat, a typical NTB weaving producer village where CH orders weaving from it. They rent a car for the time in Lombok. The hotel itself is already a tourist spot on the edge of Ratu Mandalika beach, with its distinctive sand shape like a pepper circle.

Datin without rest after check-in to the hotel directly leave for the location, which is actually the place if from Selaparang want to go to the hotel was late, but it must rest Bimo first. Before going to the hotel they stopped by the chicken taliwang restaurant first at the 2 M restaurant in Mataram. While Datin to Sukarara, Bimo rests at the same hotel Pras. It was only around 17:30 that Datin arrived at the hotel again.

As soon as he saw his mother, the originally fussy Bimo turned cheerful. Datin directly megang Bimo.

Pras was astonished that a sip of Datin if ngurus Bimo never tired. If the day Datin in boutique, later after home Datin take over Bimo's business, he holds it himself until Bimo sleep. Pras's business was never neglected. Datin learned a lot from his mother. Pras loved his wife more and more, and tried to be as happy as possible. Sometimes if there is service to the Outer Country Datin is placed invited, even though only 3 days, such as not a month ago to Thailand. They also can not leave Bimo too long, it was also only done after Bimo did not drink milk anymore.

Monday morning, all orders have been containerized, will be escorted by road Argo to Benoa-Bali for shipping. All the documents needed for export purposes is already handed over to take care, and it is in order.

Pras again hurts because it is difficult to the back so that his stomach is bulky. Pras does like to be hard back, especially moving places definitely need time to be backward. Datin ngrawat Pras first because his stomach is bloated and bulky, then they just rushed to the airport because they want to go to Bali, although the time is still loose but better to wait at the airport.

New in Bali they enjoy a real vacation. Between playing, eating and resting can be regular because it is not pursued by the target. They stay at the Bintang Bali Kuta Hotel, the hotel can directly beach, and before the beach there is a beautiful swimming pool, can be used to ngrendam Bimo.

But before the last day Pras defecated bloody, as well as abdominal pain. Take it to the IGD Graha Asih Hospital in By Pass Ngurah Rai, which is closest to the hotel. From the results it is recommended to be consulted to the internist to get more accurate results. They plan to do it when it's in Yogya.

After returning from Bali Datin brought Pras to Internis, then carried out further examination in the laboratory of Sarjito Hospital and dikasi medicine, and for a while can be overcome. Temporary diagnosis of opstipation due to lack of eating fibrous foods. The next one will be a colon test.

Over time, economic conditions began to improve. BOD BN temporarily handed over its operations in Yogya to Datin, and they focused on restructuring their capital and have begun to rise again. They plan to continue in Kemang. By looking at the progress of its export business handled by Datin, as well as Datin's good business professionalism and ethics, Datin, BN will invite Datin and Pras as partners by giving him a fairly large percentage of shares with the same management model as those in Yogya. And this boutique in Kemang will be named the same as the one in Yogya, Canting House Fashion & Interior, which is a 4-storey building on the ground 1000m2.

Pras and Datin work hard to prepare a boutique that is in the camp between the busyness of teaching Pras.

Meanwhile, Yudhishthira increasingly established lobster export business and canning his fish. Judis will expand his business to Australia. He got a land concession offer near Mindil Beach Casino Resort, to make a restaurant as well as cold storage. But has not had time to follow up for his survey.

The arrangement of Canting House Kemang (CHK) has begun, Datin has submitted to Interior Designer subscriptions that already understand. Datin or sometimes accompanied Pras work control periodically to Jakarta. For the manager of Kemang has been appointed Susan, a relative of Mr. Wibisono who graduated from Interior Design Singapore and has experience holding a Duty Free Shop outlet in Kuta-Bali. Ybs loved this business. She is a woman the age of Datin adrift of two years, which is about 30 years who are single who look beautiful and nimble. The rhythm works almost the same as Datin.

In the midst of Pras kumat's busyness again, arriving before having to go to Jakarta, he was very painful abdominal cramps accompanied by bloating. After being taken to the IGD, reading the lab results and further examination of the internists who had handled it during the initial illness, Pras was referred to the Oncologist in Kotabaru.

After a series of more detailed examinations, a few days later Datin and Pras were told that Pras had colon cancer. Satin was like being struck by lightning, she though did not faint, but drooped limp in her seat.

Colon cancer is the process is very fast, when it is detected already at an advanced stage because it usually does not show significant symptoms. Datin took Pras to Mount Elizabeth in Singapore. A series of treatments and chemoteraphy has been done, Pras was brought back to Yogya in early August 2004. Datin has given up all his business activities, but he controls from home while taking care of Pras. Datin decided when the Singapore doctor had raised his hand, then he would take care of Pras at home by hiring a special nurse, and equipped with a bed with a hydraulic pedal for the sick, as well as complete by renting the necessary tools such as oxygen cylinders etc to the house. Money for Datin number two, which is important Pras comfortable in the middle of the family he loves. And after all, Datin's current finances are now arguably more than enough.

Datin was very sad and almost desperate, but once he saw Bimo who had grown up, already 4 years old and grew smart like a duplicate of his father, he became excited again. Datin never cried or showed his sadness in front of Pras. But when praying and especially when Tahajut Datin crying as much as possible.

Pras then kissed Datin's hand and shed a tear that fell on Datin's hand. Datin woke up, then said hello Pras: “ Why are you crying, is there any pain again?” Usually the nurse injects morphine to relieve pain.

Pras smiled and shook his head, “ I'm just tired of Tin.” he said as he glanced at Bimo who was standing while looking at his father from behind his mother's chair. Datin only realized that this morning he overslept, because last night he must have slept a little to accompany Pras who could hardly sleep. There are nurses, but sometimes told Datin to change breaks. And he just found out that Bimo has returned from playing and studying in the play group complexnya, which delivered mbaknya and ma'am Parinah. He is funny and has grown up always talking with his father after school. Which sometimes Pras can chuckle because of amused.

Datin then raised Bimo to be close and sat beside his father, “ Here... here son, duuuh already big yes, mother sdh no longer strong bopong you.” While behind Bimo's head, Datin spoke with Pras :” Mas, look at it, our son is already big, and he is smart like his father you know, but his gantheng exceeds his father.” Datin trying to joke…….

But Pras replied rather slashing but he said with a mantab : “Indeed I am now no longer gantheng Tin, I am already skinny and dirty black because most chemo, because, later surely you will be able to replace the gantheng outside in Tin, who will love you as I love you.”

Datin shocked and crying because he did not expect to be answered like that, he regretted and replied: “ Mas Pras it says what the hell, I was just kidding. Mbok don't make me sad to mas.”

Pras just smiled, stroking Bimo's head. Then Datin said: “ Mas Pras, I promise, I will raise Bimo and educate him to be a man of your pride, achievement, compassion, and wisdom. God willing, aamiin.” Pras guaranteed it.

On Thursday, October 21, 2004, coincided with the fasting month, before the magrib, Prastowo died. Prastowo died 3 days before his 31st birthday. He was born on October 24, 1973, at dawn in the early hours of the month of Fasting.

Many colleagues who are impudent, both from the academic and business circles he and also other associations. Because Pras is a wide association, from photography to sportsmen. Datin rather entertained to see the many friends who worship and pray Pras.

Datin steadfastly conveyed his farewell to Pras, whom he read at the funeral, as he did, then the letter to Pras was drawn with gold inscriptions on Nisan made of black granite ordered by BN group. The letter tsb:

“Good way my husband-lover, you know, me and your son love you very much, but the Khaliq loves you more.

Thank you my beloved for our most wonderful times. I must declare that our dream must end here. But we've had time to enjoy the happiness we've been fighting for together, all of which leave sweet memories etched beautifully in my heart.

I promise you, I will raise the fruit of our love, Aryo Bimo, to be a man of your pride, achievement, compassion, and wisdom.

My job is still long, but with your love I believe always with me, God willing, it will all be light in carrying it out.

Rest quietly on his side, until the time we regroup.”

Mila Sama Yudis has not been home a week from Singapore, after a week of living there for control and treatment of her heart. They had accompanied Pras when he was taken to Singapore two months yl, while they did check up for the heart of Mila. Mila from the beginning of the funeral can not stop crying, because she felt on her last day did not have time to accompany her best friend whose closeness had exceeded that of her brother.

Datin here actually looks more rigid. For a while he could hold his guests well, which in recent days there are still many who visit the house for condolence. E-mails of condolences came from many colleagues including from Ichikawa colleague Pras, also Kaburagi, Sergei and other business partners Datin.
