Drizzle Dusk

Yogyakarta special #episode25

Standing next to a thick and shady bamboo tree, the wind that hit the friction of each bamboo gave birth to a new sound that was so memorized in Ryu's ears.

like the bamboo in the house of the Sata family which is slightly different in bamboo size only. if in Japan it is smaller and smoother here the bamboo type is larger and dark green.

That afternoon after looking around the bridge workers who seemed berbesar to end his work.

the rumbling sound of the river is quite large and wide, shallow water, rocky and the edge is limited by grass and swamp bushes.

Tom was seen talking to 2 people who were there,

Ryu carefully watched some people riding a motorcycle carrying children, in the distance appeared a white car apparently the official car from the local puskesmas.

at the end of the road there were a few people there.

Pesaben.

Multifunctional field can be used as a means for an event.

sayup sayup sound traditional Javanese music play beautifully attract Ryu's attention.

Not infrequently some people ride a motorbike with his sibum break the traffic jam car that barely moves by carrying goods .

Tomo came to Ryu who began to tell him what solutions he got from his chat with the two fathers.

It turns out to turn around and return to the twilight village it takes almost 5 hours, with the atmosphere of the night and the condition of the body tired, of course Ryu chose the second option.

And well here it is., yeah.,,

parking the car in the corner of the district hall only brought a few items, Tom and Ryu accepted the offer of local residents to come to the event and spend the night in one of the spacious houses. certainly far from the impression of luxury,

because in a house with minimal furniture, there appears a living room with cold walls and cool, with mats, there they will finally gather tonight .

In the pesaben was seen a stage that was not so big, on the left side there was a large projector screen, there,

There's a shadow puppet show tonight, though,.

some people look so bothered to prepare, though,

the chair seat has been neatly lined up there, right there,

on the smaller side of the stage looks like a big sound system has been neat and

some people are seen dressed in traditional clothing complete with make up and attributes.

A pair of dancers prepared and posed in front of the hall in that corner, some taking pictures from their phones.

it is like feeling the happiness of seeing it. ,

Ryu walked around and a smile fell on his face.

not as usual who was just indifferent and silent,

this time his face was bright and friendly.

Tom explained in detail, looking for a vocabulary that was easy for Ryu to understand quickly.

asked about a pair of dancers who told the story of Rama and Shinta.

one of the Javanese legends about true love, the,

they are separated by various things, but ultimately united.

Ryu was so curious that he searched himself on his mobile phone.

a middle-aged woman gave them a plate of cookies and drinks,

lead the two of them to the center of the seating area with the other invitation row.

This social event apparently coincides with the anniversary of the puskesmas that held a mass circumcision event,.

this annual event is also enlivened by wayang kulit and some dances and mixed saris.

Some of the guests who came were government employees, traders, police, fundraisers and local residents .

"Wahh, there are also many 32 children who participated in mass circumcision." commented Tomo who pointed at one corner of the white tent that sat anak2 and mother/he was waiting for his turn in circumcision by 2 male doctors who seemed to work there.

" what is it.." Ryu asked

which immediately makes Tom glare at him. Tom's mouth is still full of cakes in chewed.

" haaaahhhh!!!"

" don't don't you don't flinch bro" said Tom who slightly lowered his voice and changed his face with a smile and wanted to laugh.

by moving his finger and giving an illustration of cutting his Mr. P.

" circumcision ..in circumcision Broo., in pieces.."

"wkkkkkwkkk "Ryu laughs amusedly by himself.

clutching his stomach with a loud laugh Tom countered with a cold gaze and sharp eyes.

" if that's me already., I.,

when I was born, " said Ryu.

" akhhhh really, usually Caucasians like you have not circumcised, let me see ", said Tom with a smile still expanding on his lips.

" i was born in Turkey, where a baby boy born was cut like that.."

Ryu practices Tom's hand gestures .

tom began to think, 'akhh, yes.

usually in the Arabian Peninsula country is like that. directly cleaned in the hospital.

" all right.yes yes., "

" geez, don't be happy if it's not ', hihihi.." teased Tom.

Tom explained to Ryu about the compensation funds that will be given to children who follow the circumcision and given also to art workers,. Ryu was enthusiastic about spending his money without feeling heavy.

" okay, this is enough, I'll meet the event committee, " said Tom handed over some of Ryu's red money that had been exchanged for rupiah.

Tom seemed to tease grandma in the corner there, who made a rowdy sound with laughter ,

with deft Tom holding the grandmother who was new to her.

Ryu smiled at the behavior of his brother, who,. He seems to have a good heart.

" wes Mbah, mbesok damel clono jeans nggih, even jarik an continue .

sampun sepuh Atik endel nilik i dalang ,, "

* already granny, tomorrow wear jeans yes, do not wear sewek/batik cloth continue ,,

it's old kok centil see dalang(leader wayang kulit) ,, " .

Clamorous neighbor and some mother2 who hit soft Tom with a fist. Apparently the old grandmother, her legs hurt and bruised, so the mothers asked for help from Tom who passed by to help carry back in front of the house.

Before 7 pm apparently the mass circumcision event has ended.one by one go home wearing sarongs, 1 parcel bag carried by the 7-11 year old child.

goodbye and kiss hands on some guests who present the atmosphere feels so warm for Ryu.

until the last 2 children who came home, apparently no relatives who picked them up, he said,

one lives with his elderly grandparents,

the one with his aunt, because the distance of the house is too far, the aunt entrusted to the health worker.

so the two of them will be escorted by the puskesmas officers who all go home to finish the event.

Tomo signaled about money, he took 3 pieces of rupiah red money which was then given to one of the smaller children.

" well this, additional to buy a bike" said Tom.

Ryu who was trying to understand what Tom was doing started to smile.

" they're both orphans" Tom whispered to Ryu.

"you want a bike, too, " asked Tom.

clasped the child's head while pointing at Tom's hand and smiled big, showing off 2 black teeth on his face.

" ooh, this, can be a long time ago yes, " while showing the hape in his hand . smiled wryly Tom because he thought his smartphone was quite valuable to him.

without aba, Ryu takes the phone from Tom's hand and gives it to the boy,.

" it's for loo work, "tom protested.

with her right hand Ryu placed her phone on Tom's forehead instead. "

"haaaahhhhh !! seriously ni. . "at once Tom sumringah was like getting a lottery prize.

the two children call Ryu and kiss his hand as a thank you for Ryu's kindness to them.,

then the two of them gestured their fingers towards the genitals of those who had just been in circumcision. "

" no. nooo nooo "

but the two of them had taken off the sarong simultaneously and exposed their genitals to Ryu,

the sound of their laughter broke out,

the people around them who saw.

when looking at the smiles on their faces, Ryu felt happy and relieved, he felt a little do good turned out to have a great impact on his heart and mind.

for a moment he came to his senses, where he stands now., where he stands.,

this special feeling, this,

this special..

the Yogyakarta, Indonesia.

Where his wife came from, was born and grew up in an environment filled with the warmth of the Javanese community here,

it means so much in his life.

Twilight..

you are truly home to me.,

always makes me miss.,

always makes me want to come home to you.

The dance event has been taking place in the welcomes of mixed saris and wayang kulit,

a variety of food dishes, cake cake has been enjoyed Ryu.

the time shows midnight when the show is over.

today was amazing.,

incredibly tired..

amazingly unexpected.,

but it was so fun for Ryu.

for the first time in his life he felt this flattered.

Within the wide-wall room, Ryu wears a sarong preparing to sleep in the loud snoring sound of Tom and hundreds of Mosquitoes around him.

🔸🔸

The red sky of dawn early in the morning was beautifully implied,

Ryu who was still feeling sticky to his two eyes to open.,

the bone-chilling cold and fog felt Ryu's body.,

the pores of his skin look so real that the fine fur of his skin is lifted.

Some mother mothers have been busy in the kitchen with the most mashed voices, chicken crowing with the floor, unpretentious goats out of nowhere, not a few cow sounds occasionally heard.

His ears were so sharp he listened to every noise of what was ruining his peaceful morning.

Wasp .

Ryu enters in the kitchen fireplace., coincidentally in this house, kitchen and cooking using a traditional fireplace.

Ryu sits squatting in front of Ryu's wasp trying to warm himself up behind the sheath enveloping his body.

Rushing standing between the tall grass, not far from the house, there was a beautiful natural scenery between the mountain of fog and the horizon of the red sun that began to rise.

at the bottom right lies a large river where the water flow is calm and shallow with large rocks there.

The cool Ryu calmly enjoys each of these warm moments, brushing his teeth towards the rising sun that is starting to light up .

Tom came by rubbing his arm in pain.,

" it's cold." exclaimed Tom.

" you hugged me while sleeping, I broke your neck." Ryu said in a word that was not so clear because he was brushing his teeth.

" sorry, but yeah don't be so mean donk, my hand almost broke this.."

tom protest.

because last night Tom unconsciously hugged Ryu allegedly her a woman.

" the raft.."

show Tom.

" we'll ride it, get ready boss "

tom went to take a shower.

" Iw" .

ryu's eyes began to grow shocked hearing that.
