Girl Without Nasab & Ningrat Son

Future Plan

After graduation, Pandu's father invited his family to a photo study. The moment of graduation of his youngest daughter that must be immortalized. When Indi graduated, their family photos were only four. Pandu's father, Mother Ervita, Indi, and Irene herself. Now photographed were not four, but seven. There are also Satria, Nakula, and Sadewa. Photos that will decorate one corner of the wall in his house later.

"Yuk, let's take a photo first," asked Dad Pandu.

Begin they directed the portraitist there to pose. It started with Irene posing herself first. Do not forget to bring the dolls and balloons presented by her sister's family.

"Smile, Rene .. don't dikem," Indi's tease to his own sister who actually since then has been smiling.

"Udah loh, Ma'am. Later if I smile myself guess I am less," replied Irene.

The two brothers laughed. Sometimes there is something they argue about together. Sometimes it's fun to remember how they used to argue with each other. However, everything changed when Indi was married and living with her husband.

Then Dad Pandu and Mother Ervita take pictures with Irene first. Flanked by her Father and Mother, Irene smiled. In her heart, Irene was also happy to be able to give all the achievements in this field of education to her Father and Mother.

Then continued with the Indi and Satria families. Then it was covered with photos with everything. There was Satria holding Nakula, and Dad Pandu holding Sadewa.

"How many prints do you want?" ask the photo studio staff.

"Four only. The rest will ask for the file. Credited all," said Pandu's father.

"Well, ready, sir ...."

They wait and choose a photo. There are photos that will be printed with large sizes as well. Not to forget Mother Ervita asked for the file, so that it can be posted on her story and social media.

"The posts are Bunda up date well," Indi told the Mother.

"Must dong. The form of happiness of a mother is like Gini Mbak Indi. Seeing you healthy, happy, and successful, Mother is also happy. The success of children is the happiness of parents," replied Mother Ervita.

After the photo studio now they go home to the residence of Dad Pandu and Mother Ervita. At home there are various Javanese dishes that are ready to fill their stomachs.

"We ate it at home. In the pendopo, enjoy the atmosphere of the house," said Mother Ervita.

"Yes, Nda."

Nakula and Sadewa who had eaten chose to play around. There is ART at the residence of Mother Ervita who invites Nakula and Sadewa to play. Both of his parents were able to eat peacefully.

"Where are you going to graduate, Rene?" ask Satria now.

Not without reason, usually the students who have graduated will soon find a job. Therefore, Satria also asked her sister-in-law.

"You're talking PAUD, Mas" Irene replied.

"Where are you proposing?" ask Indi now.

"There is no one yet, Ma'am. Even though there is an international school that offers Irene. Not in Jogjakarta unfortunately," replied Irene with a lowered head.

"Where is that, Rene?" ask Mother Ervita.

Irene stopped eating for a moment, then she looked at the faces of her parents first. Honestly, Irene was a little afraid to convey it. In addition, there are concerns if parents oppose it if they want to work outside the city of Jogjakarta. Usually, parents provide a better alternative to working in their own city. Especially for the girls and the youngest child, usually parents will hold them tighter.

"Where, Rene?" ask Dad Pandu now. Pandu's father asked more calmly.

Indi and Satria just looked at each other. From the reaction shown by Irene it is possible that the offer to teach is indeed far from the city of Jogjakarta. It was as if everything was now waiting for Irene's next answer.

"There was an offer from an International School in Jakarta, Dad. The place Irene KKN used to be. As an international school of course the salary offer there is much bigger," Irene said.

"It's a long way to Jakarta, Rene."

Mother Ervita already said that first. While the silent Indi remembered again that it was long ago the ideals of Irene wanted to work in the Capital. Who would have thought now his sister actually got an offer from one of the international schools in Jakarta. However, Indi was silent as well. Not wanting to get ahead of his parents. Parents certainly have their own judgment.

"Only offers, Mother. Not sure Irene accepted," Irene replied with a bow.

Then Dad Pandu spoke to his wife. "If it does work in Jakarta also does not matter tow, Nda. It's time for the kids to flap their wings. Back then, when they were kids, everywhere we carried them, trained them to walk. When they are mature and want to fly higher let it be. The important thing is that children can take responsibility and take care of themselves" Pandu's father said.

Mother Ervita was silent. What her husband said was true. However, a mother's conscience sometimes wants the children not too far from her parents.

"It's okay, Jayah. Irene also will not necessarily take the offer. Irene will try to find a job in Jogja first" Irene replied.

The husband in the pendopo became quiet. Wanting to talk to others also felt awkward. Until finally Dad Pandu spoke again.

"Not to think about it, Nda. If Irene is going to Jakarta is okay. There are Yayah, the Indi family is also here. There's Nakula and Sadewa too. We are the ones praying for Irene. If indeed our eyes cannot watch over Irene, the eyes of God will watch over and pay attention to Irene. If our hands cannot keep Irene, there is a longer hand of God that can look after Irene. God willing, when we give all to God, all will be well."

Really, this is the view of a wise father. If there is concern in the heart it is natural, but Pandu's father chose to believe in the inclusion and omnipotence of God alone. There are individuals who will certainly be able to take care of Irene, where Irene is there no one who escaped before God.

"Yes, Dad. Pardon Nda well," said Mother Ervita now.

"It's okay, Nda. No need to apologize. All mothers, all parents also do not want to be away from their children. That's a natural thing. However, the times have now developed, Nda. The Javanese used to have a philosophy of 'Mangan ora Mangan important Kumpul', if according to the Yamah it is not appropriate. Children who have been educated high, equipped with science let them work, scavenging fortune. 'Ora work ora mamah', do not work ya can not eat. Let Irene look for an experience out there. We continue to pray that our children be protected by God and kept away from evil."

Indi and Satria also heard the advice of Jayah Pandu. Losing is indeed good advice, of course Indi and Satria while learning in the future. True, many philosophies shifted their value. If it has been equipped with knowledge and skills, then develop knowledge to provide benefits for many people. 💕
