Girl Without Nasab & Ningrat Son

Towards Cilacap

The weekend arrived, today Satria, Indi, Rama Bima, and Bu Galuh headed to Cilacap. Nakula and Sadewa were entrusted to Mother Ervita and Dad Pandu. So Satria and Indi like to have free time.

This time it was Satria who was driving the car owned by Ramanya. Towards a journey whose scenery is dominated by rice fields and also fields. The car driven by Satria was traveling at medium speed.

"Have you figured out the house yet, Sat?" ask Rama Bima.

"You know, Rama. The full address Satria already knows," he replied.

Rama Bima nodded his head. The journey taken by Satria is also quite long. Three hours drive from Jogjakarta. However, they seemed to enjoy the trip while discussing some things such as the herbal medicine factory, the next MSME stand, and other topics of conversation.

Until finally the car driven by Satria entered the village area with a large rice field. Following the digital map on his phone, until finally the car driven by Satria stopped at a house that is still entirely in the form of red bricks only. It is so close to the rice field.

"This is her house?" ask Miss Galuh.

"If it matches the address and follows the map, it is indeed his home, Mother," Satria replied.

"Yes, let's go down" said Rama Bima.

The four of them got out of the car. With Satria who walked first and said greetings.

"Assalamualaikum, kula nuwun," said Satria to say hello.

From inside the house there was a middle-aged woman who was only wearing a negligee. Shocked to see Satria and her family now arrive at her home.

"Waalaikumsalam, O Allah .. it turns out Den Satria and Ndoro," greeted him with tears. It was really unexpected that her employer or superior now actually came to her home so far away in the countryside in Cilacap.

"How's Mbok Karti doing?" asked Bu Galuh who immediately hugged Bu Karti there.

In Bu Galuh's arms, Bu Karti cried. After a dozen years finally get to meet again with his former employer first. Even his master came to his hut which was in the village.

"Monggo, pinarak," said Bu Karti invited Satria and his family. "Sorry, the house in the village is just like this. This hut is his name" said Bu Karti again.

"It's okay, Mum. Much the same. How is Mbok Karti healthy? Satria yesterday was telling about Simbok, we came to mind here," said Rama Bima now.

Bu Karti and nodded his head. The woman was still in tears, happy to the point of making her moved.

"Consolation of Nuwun, Ndoro. We have been visited here" he said.

"We are no longer employers and subordinates. No need to mention Ndoro again, Mbok," said Rama Bima.

"It's a habit" replied Bu Karti.

"Call the others, Mbok. We are sad," said Galuh.

There Bu Karti recounted his life after not working at the State residence. In addition, Bu Karti showed pictures of Yudha as a child.

"This is Den Satria, Yudha's childhood photo. It was very different with my mother. He was white, cute, indeed like his white and handsome Father. While Mom is just a country girl and uneducated. It's a picture of when the mother of marriage just got together."

At least all the old photos are proof that Yudha is the son of Bu Karti, although genetically more similar to his biological father. It is very different from Bu Karti who is his mother.

"Excite, like BapakE," replied Bu Karti.

"Mbok Karti has met his son?" ask Rama Bima.

"Here, Yudha is in Jogjakarta. His family now lives in Chicago. Entrepreneurs there. Unfortunately he did not want to admit his mother, embarrassed because his mother was ugly and a villager," Bu Karti recounted in tears again.

"Already, Mbok. Do not put the heart. Do not pray the ugly, too, the prayer of a mother is heard by God. Praying good, Praying at times will understand the true truth. Can accept his mother," said Galuh.

Usually when the child is not right or evil, parents will pray for the bad. So that the prayer that God has made is also a bad prayer, which happens only disaster and danger. However, Galuh reminded that no matter how the child hurts his mother, do not pray for the ugly. We must pray for the good and hope that God will bring it to life.

"I'm already sincere. If indeed Yudha did not want to admit her mother is okay. Allah is very good, replaced with Mas Satria and his excellent wife. Thank goodness, Mom. Better be sincere," said Galuh.

"Who does Mbok Karti live here?" ask Rama Bima.

"The old man is dead, Ndoro. I took care of his son Mbakyu. Still in High School now. Mbakyu was a contract worker in Suriname. Many neighbors here were once brought by the Dutch to Suriname, Ndoro. This child, I foster. Mbakyu already do not know also whether he can go back to Indonesia or not" story Bu Karti.

Ma'am nodded his head."Parented like a child, Mbok. If it is not the blood of the flesh if the affection is sincere, unfortunately it is also sincere. Exceeding the child's affection to his biological parents," said Bu Galuh.

"Goddessa, Ndoro. If it is sincere it must be sincere. I've been babysitting her since the baby. Till now. If the Mboknya in Suriname can not send yes already, I sent also. It's okay, Ndoro."

"That's even better, Mbok. Mbok lives there is a friend and also seems to have children," said Rama Bima.

Chatting for more than an hour, then Satria took down the souvenirs and hand that she brought from Jogjakarta. Especially for Bu Karti.

"It's a bit of a make, Miss Karti," said Satria.

There are souvenirs typical of Jogjakarta, there are also some batik shirts and batik negligee from Mother Ervita entrusted to Indi and Satria, all of which are also given to Bu Karti.

"The repots of Den Satria and his wife" said Bu Karti.

"No fuss at all, Mom," Indi replied.

"Mbok, I give you a picture of us first. Old photo of Mbok still babysitting Satria and Sitha as a child. For the memories well, Mbok," said Bu Galuh.

Bu Karti nodded his head. Crying even see old photos whose story is amazing. A good employer, where often treated not as a batur or helper, but considered part of the family. If at that time Bu Karti shed tears, all are happy tears.

"Main to Solo, Mbok," said Rama Bima.

"Other time ..., now Neng Sitha is how big?" tanyakanya.

"Have gone to college, Mbok. It's second semester," replied Galuh.

"When I was a kid, I was a student."

Visits in Cilacap although briefly, but very memorable. Bu Karti is also happy because it is visited by people who he considers like family. In addition, Bu Karti and Bu Galuh exchanged mobile numbers as well, they promised to contact each other. Connecting again the cord.
