IRENG NIRMALA CANTILE

Part 10: The Catra Family

Nirmala arrived at a very luxurious house, a house nuanced Dutch java, the same house with a house that never nirmala came in a dream. What nyai miduri said in a nirmala dream is true that this house will be a residence for nirmala.

“sakdurunge mlebu omah, your crew must manganese flower cantile sing mbok gowo, iku one of the most basic terms sing yen arep dadi family member catra”.(before entering the house, I was wrong, you have to eat the cantile flowers that you bring, it's one of the most basic conditions to be a member of the family of the catra).

“ta-tapi”.

“awakmu wes understand yen I ora seneng denied!!!”. (you already know if I do not like to be denied). Nyai Widuri spoke in a loud voice and her eyes looked resolute. Nirmala obeyed what was ordered nyai waturi, one by one the flowers cantile ireng nirmala input her mouth, she chewed the cantile flowers slowly. Not too bad the cantile flower feels bland just the smell that smells occasionally makes nirmala nauseous. Nirmala painstakingly finished the cantile flower.

“saiki I will dudohke ning your crew parts soko omah iki, by lan sing ora by mbok ambah, yen kammu nganti ngelanggar ono punishment lan kui ora easy, iso wae nyowomu”.(now I will point to you the parts of this house, which you may and may not go to, if you violate the tone of the punishment and it is not easy, it could be your life).

“saben part soko omah iki ono abdi daleme each”.(each part of this house has a servant each).

“omah iki divided dadi wolu, sing kapisan EMPEROR, emperan freely skipped sopo wae ora ono batesane, sing keloro PENDOPO, you weroh pendopo sing nang kunu??? Ojo nganti pisan-pisan crewmu duweni niatan nyedaki pendopo kuwi, pendopo kuwi grill sing or angger wong iso mlebu, sing ketu PRINGITAN, sing denggenggo kanjeng queen nompo guest, sing kapat OMAH NJERO, sing kapat OMAH NJERO, family catra will gather ning kene yen ono event geden, sing kelimo SENTHONG TENGAH, ora ono siji pun wong sing by mlebu ning room iki except raden baswara catra lan kanjeng batari catra, sing keenem SENTHONG TENGEN, the room iki the call of the nyepakno handan servants, sing to GANDHOK , the most mburi” omah.(this house is divided into eight, the first emperor (terrace), the most, free to pass anyone there is no limit, the second pendopo, you see the pendopo that is there?? Jangsn sikali-times you have the intention to approach the pendopo, the pendopo is not where everyone can enter, the third pringitan(living room) is used for the queen kanjeng usually receive guests, the, the fourth omah njero (family room), the family catra will gather here if there is a big event, the fifth central senthong (main room), the family will gather here, no one can enter this room except the raden baswara catra and kanjeng batari catra, the sixth senthong tengen(kitchen) room where the servants prepare food, who go to gandhok(warehouse), which is the place where the servants prepare food, the back house).

Nirmala listened carefully to the explanation of nyai waturi, but nyai new waturi explain the seven and home parts where nirmala will stay, also where everyone is bathing and shitting. There are so many questions that nirmala actually wants to ask , and one thing that strikes the heart of nirmala if indeed kanjeng batari catra queen who wants to lift nirmala so her son why he had not met nirmala, so far he did not meet nirmala, why is it not himself who takes nirmala around.

“aku reti opo sing again you thinkke, nirmala.Nah iki room sing to wolu SENTHONG KIWA , your crew lan abdi sing ono ning omah iki live ning kene including me. Your crew wes not ready to serve sing will ngancani lan nyepakno kabeh your needs”(i know what you are thinking ,nirmala. Well this is the eighth room senthong kiwa, you and all the servants in this house live here including me. You I have prepared a servant who will be ready and prepare all your needs).

“then where is the queen's kanjeng?”,

“iki durung wayahe you meet kanjeng ratu”.

“when waahe?”

“hemmm rack ono sing reti mala, saiki siapno kamemu kanggo nglakoni terms selanjute”.(hemmm no one knows mala, now prepare yourself for the next condition).

Nyai Widuri breezed away from nirmala's room. Nirmala observed every corner of the room that is now her bedroom, a room that is many times wider than her room in the home. The facilities are also very complete, bed like a queen who is told a fairy tale dresser full of carvings but again on the dresser there is a tray containing setaman flowers and cantile flowers that are still buds. Someone knocked on Nirmala's room.

“Tokk...tokk.

“ngapunten nimas sampun nganggu, I'm in dhawuhi nyai waturi dadi dalem panjengan”.(sorry miss already interfered, I was told nyai waturi to be your servant).

“celukken wae nirmala, jenengku nirmala”.(just call nirmala, my name is nirmala)

“orak deserves nimas”(cannot miss)

“I'm comfortable being hugged nimas, yen ora your nyeluk me mba wae ketone dewe sepantaran”.(i don't like to be called miss, otherwise you call me sister it looks like we're the same age).

“good if nimas ehhh mbak mala force”.

“emmm I want to refresh your body, wes pliket really rasane”.(emmm I want to refresh the body, it's very sticky taste).

“mari mbak no anther ning padusan”.

“well, by the way what is your name?”.

“Call me rahayu, but back then when I was at home I like to call me with ayuk” call.

Nirmala nods her head while trailing the walking rahayu, although the poster of rahayu's body is smaller than the body of the nirmala but the way of walking rahayu is very fast that makes nirmala's footsteps overwhelmed. The distance to the padusan is quite far from the nirmala room, the location is in the rear of the house but not up to the gandhok. The nirmala and rahayu in front of the very high and large door were guarded by two men but there was a strange look the two men looked empty. The two guards opened for nirmala and rahayu to enter, nirmala still looked at the two guards with curious gazes, not as normal humans both guards did not look towards nirmala or rahayu, no matter where her eyes looked.

“wes mbak rausah reken, sok yo bakale you understand kabeh about omah iki”.(already not to care, there are times you know all about this house).

Rahayu gave nirmala a piece of rags, nirmala took off one by one her clothes and wrapped around her torso. This compacted water is very, very cold, plus the setaman flowers in it, on the side of the grid there are two showers. Everyone who bathes and soaks here will feel at home for a long time here, every time the nirmala drowns his face in the water that is on the moon as if his memory is back to remember the incident of his parents' accident, tragedy fires omah parlors and the faces of his three best friends (dela, graceful and nur). What really happened was not known, until nirmala began to run out of oxygen in her body. Rahayu immediately pulled nirmala's hand, nirmala was shocked her face looked shocked while trying to adjust the breath that was still wheezing.

“sampeyan ora anything mbak?”.(you're okay mbak)

Nirmala nodded as she rearranged her still stingy breath. Rahayu helps nirmala to get out of padusan and they return to nirmala's room. Along the way to the room there was only silence between the two of them.
