Ms. Parinah had a message to Ms. Mardi, her late husband's brother-in-law, to cut 3 chickens. He was cooking a ferocious chicken asem wrapped in banana leaves, which is now being steamed in a large soblok. Because later some will be brought to Tembi for Ms. Danu. For the spice he just buy green tomatoes in the stall. Other kitchen spices stay nyari dikebon. Pak dukuh diligently nanam various kitchen spices in the yard of his brother's house. The tree never stops bearing fruit.

“ Wow mom can not want to go to Jakarta again, the kitchen is good, clean there is a large furnace, piles of firewood ditritisan, stove on the stone table is also clean.waaaaaa the kitchen is large, it's amben short can to sleep 10 people.” Datin was amazed. It's the work of lik Mardi who makes the kitchen style kitchen village manager. Usually people if they have the desire of many neighbors who come to help cook at home who have a wish. This new kitchen is enough for this purpose.

“ It's like Mardi makes all big so it's enough if for (cooked) when you have gawe.” Answer the Mardi bullion

“ Already want ghost yes lik?” ask Datin.

“ Ah.... Heal it your sister, if asked to say it tar sok tar sok, I fill it with neighbors, Just run down the rubble directly.” Answer mardi.

“ How old is Citut to be? You still want to be mated.” Ask Ms. Parinem.

Speaking of which came while carrying a jar of dried tempe-nuts from his house across the street, for a side dish friend eating achopid :

“ Lha I just did not go to college, I am still 19 years old, lha if the rockfall is not just the two of you, wong do group work. Basic urip nang ndeso ki hard, bentar bentar pomongin, rasani.....if all we are horrified yes we do not slang it.” Fierce answer…..

“ Patience.....patience Tut, go ahead and abstain from retreating! Don't go mogol in the middle of the road, on the farm, right? final semester to?” ask Datin.

“ Semester 7 mbak, he uh.” Answer Citut.

Datin chatting with bulik and his cousin while he massage. In the distance there was a gurgling stream of irrigation beside his yard. Heaven was truly the world that day. Satisfy the wishes of the child and end up in the hands of the Mangun masseur. Bimo slept tired beside him. Her face is gantheng-cuby, eyes turn, pinter….. When sleeping like in uyel uyel same Datin, sometimes to wake up crying.

Datin not lunch, because the breakfast sotonya also half eleven at noon. Later want to eat ferocious asem in Tembi only. Datin, Bimo and Lilis invited Yanto to stop by Tembi. While Bu Parinah lived in Manding kangeenan with his brother.

Ms. Danu was very happy with Bimo's arrival. Bimo's base is indeed a brave suble son, just like anyone friendly.

“ Bimo just stay here nemani yanguti huh? Want to Mo?” ask Ms. Danu.

“ Here on my seat that is here, eye kangen Bimo if the story.” Said Mr. Danu while bopong Bimo. But.........”E..e.e kok eyang not strong lift this again, Bimo already big.”

“ Lha ngatos-atos yangkung (be careful), Bimo is now a big yangkung, no longer careless when talking, if praying does not forget to pray for his father, he said, and if the night sometimes bacain stories for his father..kan his father stay the same star in the sky.” Datin……

Ms. Danu melted her tears as Bimo was able to pray for her father. “Duh Gustiiiii......why is the bundled (called) not just me, why should Pras still be needed this boy?”

“ Lho bu, .....Will it must be the best, mas Pras is happy at his side and every moment controls us. Earlier this morning I was told to bring Bimo nature tour through a dream mom........already ah....... monggo dahar use achopper mbah-uti cuisine, coincidentally from this afternoon I also have not eaten.” Said Datin while taking the side dish he was carrying.

Datin had entered his room first, just remembering the sweet times when with Pras.

Thus Datin spent his year-end holiday in Yogya, every day also nengok outlet or boutique for a while, just briefing staff, eating together with staff with him treat in cafe CH itself. Datin is much liked and close to his staff. Like bu Meta used to be close to the staff.

On Friday’at December 30, 2005, morning at 06.30 Bimo was ready to leave for Semarang with Datin. He is very cheerful and excited because he will meet his mother Ias, he has brought Yasmin cergam book when shopping to Gramedia yesterday. Exactly at 07:00 they depart between Yanto in a CH car, CH, do not forget to bring the legendary L’ Gourmet legit layer that Datin brought from Jakarta and also orders Mila baceman tempe koro and gembus made Parinah bu.

Around 10:30 they had arrived at the temple at Mila's house, it was amazing why it could be so frenetic as this big house with only 2 little boys Bimo and Yasmin.

“ Mbak is legit layer if eating just a little mblenger really, room booternya really feel. Tapiii.......mbak Mila should only nyuil a little yes, this is very bad for mbak Mila because full fat and cholesterol, this is for guests of mas Yudis only later.”

“ Wow thank you Tin has been noticed, later my friend is not much kok at most 4 or 5 pairs only, close colleagues.”

They immediately sat on the back of Datin's favorite, arguably semi-balcony, pavilion, if you want to go down to the yard rather steep with artistic stairs equipped with a white pergola roof that is graced with crelemy flower plants that are like small cherry blossoms. They chatted about drinking tea while eating soft and koro.

“ How's your course Tin, already almost run?” ask Judis.

“ Wow yes not yet, because a lot of porticoes and clear brains have also started slow.” Reply Datin “ There has not been a year also mas, precisely next February this starts at its core, the last 3 courses, rather congested schedule, if smoothly mid-July 2006 round. But I'm not sure yes.” Answer Datin

“ Tin. Many say you are a genius, look at your achievements!!! This young you have an incredible effort, and now money works for you, not the other way around.” Cut Mila.

“ Hahahaha....who said?? Lebai! But yes, just do not take it, is this do’a good.”

“ Tin.....can dong sometime you invite me to fill the workshop organized by kadin for its members.” Ask Judis.

“ Speaker? The marketability? About what, huh? Waduh I have never, if another meeting anyway yes, it can flow. But if...jumeneng dados bu guru, (playing as bu guru) blaen can wet me later?” datin replied jokingly.

“ Hahahaha.....could you Tin, right we are not only from the academic circles we invite, sometimes it is a high school graduate mother only but her business is successful as a supplier of eggs in various supermarkets. Can smoothly transfer of ideas youho.” Judis.

“ Lha ...ya is not that, if Datin ngundang also must be a combination of success with the business strategy theory he got from Harvard it is also dong.” Mila's Selak.

Arrived Mila's maid came while giving a phone call home to Mila, “........from the restaurant Sagara.”.

“ Yes, hello.....wah send aja via email the proposed set of the menu, which is clear menu mainstay do not forget, Lobster two flavors, lobster salted egg and lobster black pepper.” Mila replied, apparently the chef asked a series of new year menus tomorrow that must be prepared. And then the assistant will be prepared to burn the burnt.

“ Mbak Mila for the purposes of 2 restaurants, Semarang and Surabaya needs rice, sugar, and other staples of course many yes. More than a need for one environment. Don't think of meeting your own needs by making a kind of P&D store. You can serve the environment. Make a grocery store plus that's say a small margin but we expect from the volume, the fall is big as well. And people's food needs are dead in no situation. Until now I still think I want to have a P&D stall so, childhood mind hahahahaha......” said Datin.

“ Halah bu fashion director with a turnover of billions with clothes that are always chic and always fragrant, later so the smell of onions!” said Mila.

Datin indeed if dress for work or the need to go-away now tend to wear cloth as subordinate half calf or sometimes knee-length of songket or batik motif, with a modern kebaya top or blouse batik, with a modern kebaya, with makeup hair sometimes carried simple sometimes removed densely severed back. These fashion habits also promote fashion in her boutique. Datin is graceful.

“ Smell of onions is not a problem mbak, it's my mind when I was a child. If I had a shop, I would be a rich man, hahahaha……….In the past if when he was a child told to go to the store to buy sugar, continue to sell what else, it seems like the contents of the stall is like, what we call always there, always there, continue to imagine very good if you have a stall do not have to bother buying there is all there. It must be a rich man and never as hard as my parents!” remember Datin for his childhood.

Their chat stopped, arrived Bimo ran Datin's lap while saying: “ Mother....nggngg anu...Bimo can eat ice cream no, mbak Ias got in the refrigerator.”.

“ Yes...can but later after eating, just eat ice cream yes dear.”

“ Horeeee...by, Bimo ask maem first!”.
