Prambanan Temple

The next day Rama Bima actually invited the Hadinata family and the Satria family to take a walk to Prambanan Temple. It feels already in Jogjakarta if not to Prambanan Temple it feels like there is less. Moreover, Prambanan Temple is always charming and beautiful. Hindu Shiva temple has always been a tourist destination from home and abroad.

"The roads to Prambanan first well," asked Rama Bima.

Three families gather together and head towards Sleman, Jogjakarta. This time, even they only brought one Alphard car belonging to Rama Bima alone. Enough for three families.

"I feel good about going to Prambanan Temple, Mr. Pandu. Remembering Satria once a year, we took it to Prambanan Temple. Funny thing is he crawled up to Shiva Temple," Rama Bima story while remembering the childhood of Satria first.

"Welch, Sir? Duh, danger loh. You see, the stairs are high," replied Dad Pandu.

"Yes, I don't want that big man Pandu. The thrashing does not want to be carried, so this Satria ngeyel that, sir. Crawl by yourself."

Rama Bima also shook his own memories of how Satria crawled into Shiva Temple. Indi also laughed when Rama Bima said that Satria as a child had been swallowed.

"You carried a bule loh first Satria it. Whose baby this is, crawling up the temple," said Bu Galuh now.

"Thank you, Mom. If you get carried and taken abroad how to try," replied Mother Ervita.

While Satria who is being talked about does not know knowing. All because he was too small. It was still one year, so there was nothing he could remember. However, he was honestly embarrassed as well when Ramanya said that Satria had been sneering since childhood. Shame on the in-laws how his childhood used to be.

Once at Prambanan Temple, Rama Bima who bought tickets for besan family and Satria family. Actually Pandu's father had refused, but Rama Bima still bought tickets. Dad Pandu until hung out with his iron.

"Always trouble panjenengan (you, in Indonesian. In Javanese subtle krama using the word Panjenengan or Jenengan), loh ...."

"No hassle at all Mr. Pandu. Just relax," replied Rama Bima.

Speaking of Prambanan Temple. There are memories for Dad Pandu and Mother Ervita when Indi was a child. Pandu's father at that time invited Indi to take a walk to Prambanan Temple. Now, the daughter she used to carry was already a mother. It means time has passed so fast.

"Why, Dad? As to the thought of something," asked Mother Ervita.

"Remember Indi as a child. Three years old then if not wrong. I carried him into Shiva Temple. He even cried, afraid of the dark interior of the temple and there was a large statue. Now, my little daughter is an adult and already has children" Dad told Pandu.

"Dad you remember that time?" ask Mother Ervita again.

"Still, still remember. The first time to take Indi to Prambanan Temple. At that time I explained there are three main temples here Brahma Temple, Vishnu Temple, and Candi Siswa. Then, there are temples in the form of vehicles or mounts of three main gods there are Hamsa, Nandi, and Garuda. These three were the mounts of the three main gods. When I took her to Shiva Temple, Indi cried by immersing her face in my chest. You know, Mommy .. The affection for Indi never faded. There is always until now" Dad told Pandu again.

Mother Ervita felt her heart really become warm. Because her husband still remembers everything in so much detail. There is also a great affection from Dad Pandu for the daughter.

"Now, we are here again with her children Indi," said Mother Ervita.

Finally with the background of Prambanan Temple, they took photos together. This time, Pandu's father took the initiative to hire a photographer. Indi and Satria are also at the same time photos with Nakula and Sadewa. They will keep these memories. Tour with both Eyang at Prambanan Temple.

"This time let me, Mr. Bima," said Dad Pandu took out his wallet to pay for the photo fee which later immediately so and can be taken at the exit.

"Please Mr. Pandu. Wow, even alternately," replied Rama Bima.

"It's okay. His name is family like this," replied Dad Pandu.

"Agreed once, Mr. Pandu. If not, the family will not change. Matur Nuwun," replied Rama Bima.

After that Indi, Mother Ervita, and Bu Galuh waited in the temple courtyard. There was a shady little tree with a seat there. While the Eyang kakung and Papa Satria took Nakula and Sadewa around the temple.

"Where do you want to go to the temple?" satria asked her children. Although Nakula and Sadewa could not speak yet, Satria and Indi had made it a habit to communicate with their sons.

"To Shiva Temple, Sat ...."

Pandu's father and Rama Bima said the same thing. Finally Satria according to the request of the Eyang Kakung who want to enter the Shiva Temple as well as the largest temple in the Prambanan Temple complex. Satria who carried Sadewa, while Nakula carried Rama Bima now.

Climbing the stairs for the sake of the stairs, they finally arrived at the Shiva Temple. Inside there is a statue of Goddess Durga, but based on local speech habits will refer to Goddess Durga as Roro Jonggrang. Because, there is indeed a folklore related to the story of Prambanan Temple development, namely the love story of Roro Jonggrang and Bandung Bandawasa.

Roro Jonggrang, who asked for a thousand temples, made a ruse by waking up residents in the Prambanan area to hit the mortar and pestle. Eventually the chicken crowed. Bandung Bandawasa who assisted the jinn to establish a thousand temples also failed. Angry with Roro Jonggrang who deceived him, Bandung Bandawasa finally cursed Roro Jonggrang into stone, to complete a thousand temples that are actually only lacking one.

"Pak Pandu believes this is made by Bandung Bandawasa or made by Rakai Pikatan?" ask Rama Bima.

"If I agree this temple was built by Rakai Pikatan, a king of the kingdom of Medang. At that time, the kingdom of Medang was famous in making temple buildings. Together with his consort Pramodawardhani, there are recorded hundreds of temples built," replied Dad Pandu.

"Unfortunately the historical record is not as popular as the folklore of Roro Jonggrang yah Pak Pandu?" ask Rama Bima again.

"Tradition of speech or storytelling is what makes it more widespread. Until forget that Prambanan Temple is a relic of the famous Medang Kingdom."

Pandu's father answered thus, making Rama Bima nod his head. At once Rama Bima learned history also from Besannya.

"I'm really happy. The one I used to carry here Satria, now back here and the one I carried was his son Satria" said Rama Bima.

"Sama Pak Bima's. In the past, I came here with a small Indi. Now bring grandchildren. May Allah give you a long life so that you can accompany and nurture children and grandchildren" replied Pandu Father.

Really this is not just a tour, but also nostalgia for Dad Pandu and Rama Bima. More than two decades ago they visited this beautiful Hindu Temple holding their children, now able to return again by bringing their grandchildren. It feels very nice, considering the precious moment when Satria and Indi are still both small.
