LOVE OF JUITA

Welcome aboard!

"Dek wakes up, we'll be landing soon," Septian shook Julia's body slowly.

Julia blinked her eyes, her consciousness was not yet fully restored. He fell asleep during the trip. For a moment it squirms to relax stiff muscles. After his sleepiness disappeared, he looked out the window of the plane. Julia smiled looking at the stretch of white clouds rolling gently. 

"Welcome to the sky" Julia whispered to herself.

They tracked Yogyakarta International Airport at half-five in the afternoon. After picking up luggage and belongings, Septian was busy replying to messages on his phone.

"Yuk, this way. You've been waiting outside" Septian directed Julia.

It is not difficult to find the figure of a tall skinny father. He wears a batik shirt and makes a hat. He was accompanied by his eldest brother Septian - Mas Kuncoro. The smile of the father expands widely to welcome the ragil child and his son-in-law. 

"How was the journey, tired?" asked the Father immediately took the cardboard that was carrying Julia.

"Lumayan sir," Julia nodded politely.

Kuncoro is a shy person. He just threw a smile at Julia as a welcome greeting. Mas Kuncoro swiftly helped Septian lift the luggage and put it in the car. 

The journey from Yogyakarta International Airport in Kulonprogo to the village where Septian lives takes about an hour more. Mas Kuncoro drove the car casually. Sometimes they speak Javanese. Along the way Julia enjoys the view of the vast rice fields.

"Welcome to the village of Timbulharjo Bantul Regency!" exclaim Mr Proud.

"Oh has arrived .. "inner Julia.

Before long the car entered the residential area and stopped at a large two-story house, fenced in high iron carvings, paving block. There is a garden and a small fish pond on the side of the house. 

In the garage there are two cars, one SUV type black and one pick up car. Everyone can guess that the owner of the house is a prosperous person. Julia was flabbergasted to see the house that she thought was so spacious. But he held back in order not to be tacky.

Julia did not expect that her husband's family was quite there. Because in terms of appearance, Septian and his family looked unpretentious. Do not wear expensive branded clothing and accessories like the rich in general.

"Well down, we're home." Septian smiled widely.

"Okay," Julia nodded, she felt her blood flow flowing. Nervous of the Septian family welcome.

Septian mothers and brothers and sisters have been waiting on the terrace. From their faces were already impatiently welcoming the newlyweds. Mom immediately hugged Septian and Julia, bringing them inside the house. While the Septian brothers were busy helping to take down and bring in the items to the second floor.

"Bak please make hot tea for both of them huh. Pity her face at the lethargy of exhaustion" Mother orders a middle-aged woman. It seems he is the person whom Si Mbok trusted to help at home.

She rushed to the kitchen to make tea. Meanwhile, other family members were busy welcoming the newlyweds with a face of sumringah.

They smile listening to the Malay dialect of Julia while speaking. 

"How to say Julia's cute bulek, similar to Upin Ipin's Ros brother!" septian nephew chirps with round eyes.

Spontaneous Julia and the rest of the family laughed out loud. Julia understood, the dialect that made the lace sounded foreign in the ears of Javanese. But he himself held back confusion when he heard the Septian family was busy chattering using Javanese language that he did not understand.

Si Mbok and older sister Septian were busy serving a lot of food, everyone gathered in the spacious kitchen. They eat slowly, because the dining chairs available are not enough. For the first time Julia tasted gudeg.

"Too sweet," muttered Julia who could not live without chili. His Sumatran tongue is used to spicy flavors as an appetite enhancer.

"It's the cayenne pepper, let it spit," Septian handed me a small plastic plate containing cayenne pepper. It was as if he understood what Julia had in mind. 

Julia smiled shyly with the small yet meaningful attention of Septian.

After dinner together, Septian asked permission to resign to the Mbok, the Father and his brothers to go up to the second floor. She saw Julia's eyes were tired. Si Mbok nodded his head in agreement, a moment later the Septian brothers also asked permission to return to their respective homes.

Julia followed Septian's footsteps up the stairs to the second floor. The room on the second floor was not as spacious as the room on the first floor, perhaps only a third of it. Septian takes Julia house on tour.

"There are two rooms next door, this was my sister's room. It's now my work space." 

"This is our room! Please come in princess."

Septian threw a mischievous smile as he opened the door of the second room which was the same breadth as the first room.

Julia entered the room which she felt was very comfortable. Best room he's ever had.

The room is equipped with air conditioning, a soft king size spring bed mattress that holds the buttocks when occupied. Julia touched the soft bed cover with a special fragrance of laundry after washing. There is a sliding door closet with four natural wood-colored spaces. Next to the closet there is a minimalist dresser with matching colors with the closet.

"Our room theme is back to nature, I like the color of raw wood like this. What do you think deck is?" Septian awaits his wife's response.

"Good, I like it. Well-favoured. I'm not a very feminine woman. I like something unisex that women and men can wear together" Julia replied honestly.

"Thank God you like it, let me show you another room!" Septian took Julia out of the room.

In front of the two rooms there is a large enough empty space.

"This room will fill the sofa, guest table and television. This room will be our dining room as well. It's all-purpose space." Septian again.

Septian steps galloping vigorously showed directions towards the rear balcony. 

"This is the bathroom," Septian pointed at the two-meter-long room right in front of the second room.

Then Septian opened the door to the balcony.

"The plan is that this balcony will be closed for conversion into a kitchen and laundry sun."

"It's for the washing machine. On top of that, we put an iron clothesline to save space. The roof of this section I will install a clear fiberglass roof. So that laundry is exposed to direct sun but safe from rain." Clearly while observing every corner of the balcony.

"This part is quite extensive, I will make a kitchen set. And here we put the refrigerator," point the septian to the side of the balcony.

Julia nodded to listen to her husband's explanation. His brain was already a bit slow to digest the information due to tiredness and sleepiness after a lot of dinner.

Septian caught his wife's strange gurgle that was mostly dumbfounded.

"I'm tired of it, sorry I was too excited to show you all this."

"Nothing, I was also surprised how suddenly drowsy," replied Julia slab.

"Yes, you took a shower first. After that do not forget to pray Isya first before going to bed. Mas want to go down first discuss the problem of balcony renovation with Mr." Clear Septian while locking the balcony door.

"Okay, I want to clean first yes," said Julia to the room. He wants to get a towel and a change of clothes.

Septian went back down to the first floor to discuss the renovation issue with his parents. Septian also wanted to have a casual chat with them. Two weeks without seeing the Father and Si Mbok make his heart miss. As the youngest child, Septian is indeed a favorite in the family. So fun to talk does not feel the night is getting late.

"It's night, you're not sleeping? Your wife's time is left alone on top!" The mbok reminded his son.

"Hehehe yes …. " Septian scratched his non-itchy head.

"Yes Septian rose first yes Mbok, Mr. .. " which was answered with a nod of the head by Mr and Si mbok.

Septian rushed up to the second floor. As soon as Septian opened the room door it appeared his wife was already curled up hugging a bolster pillow, drowning in a dream.

"Hmmm basic, instead of waiting to sleep first!" muttered Septian fix Julia's blanket

He saw the peaceful face of his sleeping wife. He kissed those delicate cheeks with affection.

"Good sleep, love …. " Whispers.
