After meeting with Atmaja, the mood of Rama Bima became not good. Even so, in the house of Rama Bima chose silence and calm. He busied himself by feeding his fish in the back pond while listening to the gurgling water.
Until finally, there was Bu Galuh who was looking for her husband. Apparently, the husband is now in the back pool. Then, Miss Galuh touched her husband's shoulder slowly.
"Rama, why are you here?" ask Miss Galuh.
"Eating only fish. Staying at home," she replied.
As a wife who has accompanied for decades without speaking, Galuh already knew that her husband was having something to think about. Therefore, Ms Galuh intends to accompany her husband and become a speaking friend for her husband.
"Not ordinary. Is there anything to think about?" ask Miss Glauh.
"Yes, yesterday Atmaja met me at the office. Honestly, I became regretful because I had intended to match Satria and Karina," said Rama Bima with a long sigh.
"Why is that, Rama?" ask Miss Galuh.
Rama Bima then nodded his head. "Yes, because Atmaja came and asked me to marry Satria to Karina to improve her reputation and good name. I didn't think it out because I was friends with someone like Atmaja. He may have advised my son to practice polygamy by remarrying. I'll hold him. I'll protect Indi. Now, I know and can judge who is good. I have a good son-in-law," he said.
Listening to what her husband said, Galuh was actually happy. That means her husband can now judge what is good and what is not. There are times when humans only look at what is captured by the senses. Not seeing the character of a person. Because, to judge the character of a person must first associate with the person, make observations first. While Bu Galuh himself was very sure that the choice of Satria was right. Indeed there is one thing that is burdensome, but seeing Indi alone Bu Galuh can judge that Indira is a good girl.
"Here, Karina tripped over a video case, Mom. He played with a man. From here, I learned that parenting either a boy or a girl is just as difficult. The Javanese say, let go of his head and held his tail. So, when giving freedom to the child as well, parents do not take their hands off. Hold tail. So there's parental supervision."
"Yes, agreed, Mas. Especially now that times have changed. Many things that are already irrelevant yes do not do anymore," replied Galuh.
Rama Bima nodded again. "I became glazed, how the title I was so stiff with Satria. Fortunately, Satria never smeared my name. Satria always kept my name. Keeping the name of the State."
"It's important we teach the child to Mikul Duwur Mendem Jero, Rama."
For that, as children we are expected and taught not to be rash in acting and making decisions. Must first think about the good and bad effects. Do not get the wrong action and tarnish the family name. Because, basically we as children bear the name of parents. The good and bad attitude of the child, will affect the image of both parents. For that, children must be taught to be careful in stepping. Do not let when parents wrongly educate and children misstep, in the end the name and reputation of the family itself is tarnished by it. Need wisdom, need self-awareness, and also maturity in thinking, speaking words, and also acting.
"That's what I've always done my whole life, ma'am. Even in our households that sometimes many problems," said Rama Bima.
"Hopefully Satria and Sitha can do the same. In each step, in every thing he does, hopefully Satria and Sitha can uphold us, and harbor in the ugliness of his parents," said Galuh.
After that, Rama Bima looked at his wife. Then Rama Bima spoke heart to heart with his wife. "Thank you for accepting me. Good and bad. Almost thirty years of accompanying me, you never did one bad thing. You've always been a good friend, wife, and mother."
Remembering how marriage used to be because of matchmaking and starting without love. Not infrequently the arrogance of a Rama Bima more dominating. Nevertheless, Galuh survived. She has always been a good wife and a good mother to her children. When the household was rocked by problems, Miss Galuh was patient from facing everything.
"Together Rama .. we are aging. Already both old, is it good to fight? Though our grandchildren will be born soon," said Galuh.
"Very good. Sorry if sometimes I am a hard husband," said Rama Bima.
"It's okay, Rama. Excused. In love, in married life there is an apology. It is precisely when there is no apology that is worried."
How spacious and big a heart of a Galuh Maam. He knew and experienced not easy to accompany Rama Bima who sometimes hard, stiff, and sometimes arrogant. However, when they get older, their grandchildren will also be born, not nice to fight. Therefore, there is always an apology.
"Next time we go to Jogjakarta well if Sitha school vacation? We will picnic our Satria and Indi and Besan," said Rama Bima.
"Yes, Rama."
The human phase of life. In the past, when it was a married couple and still both young, often there was a clash. Not sevision, different principles and struggle to unite the characters. However, when both are old, it can unravel everything. It can take the life and experience that has ever happened. In addition, the two should also be wiser, Rama Bima and Bu Galuh will soon also become Eyang and will have two grandchildren. It is not good if you fight, if you do not agree, you must find a way out. This is the home, where we adapt all the time. This is the household, where we learn to go through phase after phase until we age later. This is the home, where we worship with our partner every day. Become a couple that complements each other.
