The Philosophy of the Banana Tree
"Salaras, are we in the countryside yet?" leandra's turn to ask, after observing the road in front looks lengthened and slightly narrowed, on the right and left side looks home began to be spaced. Sometimes there is a house sometimes in the form of empty land containing plants.
The atmosphere was a little unique, in front of the gate or the road entering the courtyard of the house, there must be bamboo that curved, then the fire was installed like hair dangling down. For some of the more modern homes, the stucco was transformed into a colorful fabric that dangled, still curved at the gate of each house.
Strangely, sometimes in the arches of the janur there are bunches of bananas tied either on the right or left side. Not to mention the lights that decorate every home, flickering charming eyesight.
Not only was Leandra astonished, it seemed like the beings in the back seat also dissolved in the unique cultural observations that they had only first seen.
"Why is it that at every gate the alley is always decorated with janur and banana trees?" Nana could not stand her curiosity.
"Mmm... Did you see this for the first time?" the question was answered with a nod by those still soluble in idiosyncratic[1] welcoming atmosphere of Ramadan small town version named Trenggalek.
"For us, in Javanese philosophy, janur means sejane ning Nur 'Hope on Divine Nur' and yellow means kang wening' heart 'clear or clean'. The yellow janur which is the entrance gate of each courtyard of the house can be interpreted as the intention of a clean heart for anyone who will visit. Including the hope of their special guests coming in the odd nights or the night of Lailatulkadar, which is the night when the angels descend, especially the angel Gabriel with the permission of God who will arrange all affairs. From there our society with its local assimilation culture is honoured, one of its guests is part of the Jibril affair on a special night, that is how we ask for the Rida of God Almighty," explained Laras at length.
"So, is this some kind of melting pot between culture and religion? I see, huh?" Martin was curious.
"It seems so," instead Nana answered.
"Then, what is the philosophy of the banana tree?" Leandra let down her car, she also ducked to observe the houses of the people she passed on the right left side of the road.
"The philosophy of the plantain tree is more precisely, there is actually only one type of banana used," explained Laras.
"Oh, similar to Javanese wedding tradition," this voice of Rio who from earlier was silent.
"True, the king's banana was chosen as a symbol of prayer related to prosperity and nobility such as kings and queens, besides it is also a symbol of light towards happiness or ‘ngudi ambabar tuwuh’."
"Huh? Whatisit? I'm also of Arab-Javanese descent, hehe, but Java-Surabaya, don't know what language it is?" Nana is curious.
"That means being selected and commendable in achieving the welfare of clothing, food, and boards (dress, beksana, lan sasana). Being able to meet the needs of fashion, beksana, and sasana is an absolute requirement for Javanese people to be said to be a prosperous society. That sort of thing," smile in harmony to close the explanation and able to present the faces amazed.
Their discussion continues to be more critical, Nana and Martin chimed in, these two people talk no ceaselessly exchange ideas in a discussion room that is not touched by the other.
"Don't be surprised!" lirih Leandra saw the expression of Confused pensive hearing the discussion of medical students versus psychology students that can be categorized as quite heavy.
"Two people are like that" Leandra continued.
"As an argument?"
"Sometimes they argue, but there's not five minutes better, like nothing and nothing happens. Divorcing is a meaningless[2] confusion," Smiling at Leandra's words, and the young man grinned at the melted look of Laras' face.

"Turn left, yes," pinta Aligned. In line, Leandra turned on the turn lights and their car entered the road instead of asphalt. “Kampung road?” leandra's mind predicted, because she had to share a place and wait for each other when passing by another car.
Indeed, the street that is seen in front resembles a cast floor of self-help people. Although on the right and left side is wide enough, the car can not immediately drive easily, because the side is clay.
In the effort of Leandra who was concentrating on driving, Nana even noisily wanted to go down.
"You don't see? If we stop, this car will eat half of the road!" irritated Leandra.
"Ih, why is Leandra so angry? I just want a photo not long anyway," Nana even replied to Leandra with a stick of tongue.
"It's okay, we just go down in front of that alley, huh?" harmonas Reda.
"This Trenggalek, not Jakarta, just calm down, approaching Magrib like this is rarely a car that passes," subsided.
And right, the outside is amazing, whereas the place they stopped at this moment is just in front of an empty land. But, the decorations on top of their heads were so beautiful. Leandra, Rio, Martin, and Nana who just got out of the car immediately captured the twinkling panorama of lights that blaze together with colorful triangular flags hanging along the eye of the eye.
The most impressive thing is that every front of the house there are beautiful lanterns that shape according to the creativity of the homeowner.
Nana ran around in the middle of the street, she asked Rio to take a photo of himself, deliberately Rio who was chosen because this architecture student had another hobby that is photography. Of course Rio's shot was more than satisfying.
"What are you doing?" the long-haired man stared in harmony with fused brows.
"The journey to my house took 30 minutes, but soon it was breaking time" explained Laras, with bananas in his arms. It turns out that the owner of this faded cherry ribbon asked for a parking car near the alley because there are sets of ripe bananas attached to the janur pole.
"Is this not categorized as stealing?" of course Selaras also frowned. Then this girl laughed crisply, "Of course not, anyone can take it, it was deliberately installed for the passing riders. Help me bring more!" pinta Synchronous.
"Why don't we buy snacks or cookies at the minimarket?" (to open temporarily)
"There's no minimarket here,"
"Ah, is that right?"
"What am I lying to?" Aligned speaking while putting one by one the bananas he took slowly on Leandra's hand.
"There's no Bee Mart here? Papa suck!"
“Ih, what's this kid talking about? Not very clear,” murmured in a clean way.
