Episode 5's

Arriving home, and after Isya’ prayer, his mother went to Pras' room, he asked for time to chat.

“ Good, I want to talk, time is always not met. How do you think the test was? Any hope or...?”

“ God willing is optimistic! You are not far from the practice when the bebel first it.”

“ You've mantep just that list le? Do you want to try the Akabri list? After the test I was waiting, how come home so late stop by where to le?” his mother started to.

Pras glagepan would like to say what: “ chat first with friends, mbakso, chat, dream..”.

“ Lha earlier Darto stopped by here nyari you! Said your phone didn't have a call time signal. Which friend of yours to?” ask mother.

Sambar Geledeg actually Darto, just now test together not saying what, kok after the separation of all nyari nyari, umpat Pras in heart..... “ Oooh, visit the school that I want to stay, talk to the children of osia and.yaaa... that was mbakso, discuss mind, just want to go home there Datin again collecting diploma files etc, keep me going home, and long ago at home Datin chat three same mom Parinah.” Pras makes up stories.

Well...because now, her inner mother. “ waduh chat anything same bu Parinah kok real asyiek until afternoon. Talk as ayiek Datin, or his mother?” sindir. “ Mom really wants to know you know Pras, how far is your relationship with Datin?”

Skakmat, Pras ketodong his mother, with heart Pras explained to his mother: “ How far.........? Yep…. All this time I was with Datin be close friends, because I had the comfort of talking to him. I don't know exactly what it's like. Even though he's a lot younger than me, but there's a lot he can do that amazes me. Like his academic achievements, his sporting achievements...eh yes, his organizational ability is also good.”.

His mother realized that her son was interested in Datin's independence. This is not surprising, because Datin grew up in a struggling environment, while his son in a versatile and easy environment. His mother was worried that Pras was in love with a girl with social strata far below it would affect the reputation of the family. This is the way of thought feudalism is still left in some people ranking in the land of Java.

“ Pras......., before you go too far to discuss Datin, please also think about the reputation of the family, especially the position of your father in this society. We live in a society full of custom and propriety. Do not let there be an unequal marriage, so that it cannot enter in the environment of our association and will become our inner burden. Please realize who you are and who Rudatin is. Quite clear yes order mom.”

“ Wrong Datin what mom? How inappropriate is it to be with me? While many people praise his achievements in this village? Is it because she's the son of her batik laborer mother? So mean!” pras protest.

His mother was surprised, began to lose her patience: “ Pras. Clearly, no parent will knock his child. You will definitely get a much more suitable and equal replacement. Similarly Datin will surely get a better and suitable person for himself.”

Pras was speechless, he realized there was no point arguing with his mother. It will end with the cry of his mother. Usually, but this time he did not want to argue. Pras is the youngest child who, although intelligent, is always served from childhood. He was raised with ease. He was educated with rules and restrictions. After adulthood begins to appear rebellious nature, if there is something that does not match the way of mind he will be frontally against.

Silently, he was still in contact with Datin. She thought her mother's request was absurd. And the conversation with his mother was never conveyed to Datin and his family.

College has started. Pras was accepted as a student at the Faculty of Economics and Business at UGM.

On this Monday Datin came home a bit because a few hours of empty lessons, the teacher was in a meeting. After school, Datin was told to send batikan as usual to the Danu boss, because Mr. Marto was not feeling well. Datin left on a motorbike, as usual once he entered the yard, the engine he turned off and the motor he guided.

From inside the pendopo appeared Rini, while shouting: “ Kok led the motor will be heavy to Tin!” greet Rini kindly. Rini was stunned, had not seen Datin for a long time, almost since the accident was about 3 years. Datin grows tall and beautiful. Pantes Pras, his handsome brother-in-law, the same fetish as Datin. Hearing there is a rame sound in front, Ms. Danu came out and greeted Datin: “ Waduh nduk cah ayu, have not seen ya. Wow you are more beautiful now.” Danu's mother said what it was, because Datin did grow into a beautiful teenager and increasingly radiated his aura because of the contents of his head are adequate, intelligent. Datin kissed mom Danu's hand.

“ Wah nduk has been a long time you do not send batikan again yes, I pangling really same you, kok already this big yes....” said bu Danu while looking amazed Datin, then he continued to talk again: “ How is your school going well right?”

“ Buckle bu, alhamdulillah.” Answer Datin brief.

“ Well this way nduk, you want to make your parents happy? I'm proud to see how your parents fought, how they both slammed the bones for the future of his daughter. And you turned out not to disappoint, I heard you were very accomplished in school.”

“ I just try as much as I can so that the costs that my parents have incurred for me are not redundant. I definitely don't want to disappoint him bu.” Answer Datin.

“ Really. Well you should now be more serious and more focused on school lessons first, to be able to pursue your ideals. The things that if you break the concentration you just let go. Do not fail in the middle of the road because things are not primary. I also want to ask for help to you, my son Pras is now often unfocused, restless. I heard that he is now close to you ya nduk, and often play at your house?” ask Danu directly.

Satin was like being stung by a bee, she couldn't lie, she nodded.

“ Yes it is, you know how I as his mother feel worried if until his concentration slumps because it is divided. If until he fails, how disappointed we as parents who have been since Pras was a child directing on productive activities, now began to often creep that I do not know where. Not when we go home we rarely can talk. One conversation is more challenging than the story. That's what's happening right now to Pras.” Said Ms. Danu while shedding tears.

Datin has no power to hold back her tears either. He was very sad, because Ms. Danu cornered himself as if to be the cause of the transformation of Pras' nature towards the negative. There was a sense of rebellion from him, but powerlessness, fear and feeling unworthy to rotate. This effect is the teaching of Parinah maam, a batik labourer, who always asked his son to give up and serve people. This lesson is deeply embedded in him. He was silent as his tears flowed.

Then Ms. Danu continued: “ I don't want to lose the old Pras. I beg for your help, how about you guys to stay away from each other first, return to concentration to the lessons and family each. Your journey is still quite long. Later if it is equally successful, it is up to you. I have also begun to resign and it is difficult to force that Pras actually we have been betrothed since childhood but we have never found. “

Until here Datin is quite clear the purpose and purpose of the conversation bu Danu. He remembered the message of his father and also his mother, it turns out that what they said and worried really happened. Differences in social strata became an obstacle to his friendship with Pras.

After finishing this emotionally draining talk, then Datin back home : “ Inggih bu Danu, Datin understood and very understanding. Insha Allah I ngestoaken dawuh panjenengan (running your orders). I do not want to be a man who is ungodly because of the strained relationship of parents with his son. Please Ms. Danu can forgive me. If it is enough Datin please pamit.”

Ms. Danu sobbed, while curling Datin and said: “ Thank you and sorry mommy ya nduk cah ayu.” Once again Ms. Danu stroked Datin's head and took Datin away.

In front, Rini confronted Datin, she hugged Datin while not being able to hold back her tears either. Rini understands the nature of her mother-in-law, she continued her husband. It just so happens that Proborini's parents are more than the original Danu's mom. Same with batik entrepreneurs. But Proborini's parents are richer than Danu's parents. So Ms. Danu still has the same feeling Rini. Anyway, Prayudi is a young notary who is quite successful.

“ Datin, you do not have to put into the heart of the mother's speech earlier. You can be more successful than us someday if you persevere Tin. Strong and patient, Tin. You are still my sister.” Rini's words made Datin sob, he replied:

“ All that is said by Ms. Danu is really mbak, just an advice to return to focus on school. Maturnuwun ya mbak, I say goodbye first.”

Datin back guiding his motor until straight (gate) front with ushered Rini.
