MARANTI (FOOD OF THE DEAD)

EPISODE 94: CHILDHOOD FRIENDS

Fatigue that whack physically and psychically make Mr. Ade and his family really soundly asleep in the guest room of his mother's house Jatmiko. While they are asleep, Jatmiko and her mother are doing the ritual preparation activities tomorrow night. Jatmiko was asked by her mother to prepare offerings that will be installed in the four corners of the White Curah village tomorrow afternoon. While his mother Jatmiko went back up the hill to meet Ki Santo, his ritual husband. It seemed like there was something important that they were negotiating there.

In the afternoon Mr. Ade woke up from his sleep while Bu Nisa and Revan were still fast asleep. Mr. Ade who often stayed in the room was remembered by the time and Jatmiko was still a child.

“De, you if you are already big want to be what?” little Jatmiko asked Little Ade.

“I want to be rich, Jat. Let it travel the world,” replied Little Ade.

“Wah, means you want to leave this village, dong?” little Jatmiko asked.

“Yes, it's okay, Jat. Will we stay here forever? The world is vast, Jatmiko. We should be able to feel living in many places in this world,” replied Little Ade with a fiery.

Jatmiko looked sad to hear Little Ade's reply.

“Hm ... If you aspire to what, Jat?” Little Ade's turn asked Little Jatmiko.

“A-ku wants to stay here, De, with my father and mother,” replied Little Jatmiko while looking down.

Little Ade who has an extrovert nature was patting the shoulders of his best friend who has an introverted soul.

“Nothing, Jatmiko. But, you want if I occasionally take you around the world?” said Little Ade while throwing a sweet smile at his quiet friend.

The shy Jatmiko looked up at her face and looked at Little Ade's face.

“Only when you are rich do you remember me, De?” little Jatmiko asked Little Ade.

Little Ade smiled back at her best friend while patting her little back.

“Yes, Jat. I cannot forget you forever. You and your mother are very meritorious people for me and my family,” replied Little Ade at that time.

“There are many yes, De. May our friendship continue until death separates,” replied Jatmiko Little sincerely.

“Eits! I haven't said the terms are with you!” said Little Ade a little surprise Little Jatmiko.

“Terms?”little Jatmiko muttered at that time.

“Iya, Jat. I want to invite you around the world earlier there are conditions, dong!” answer Little Ade.

“But, if I don't have any treasure or money to qualify from you, how about?” little Jatmiko asked with her charms.

Little Ade looked at the face of her innocent friend.

“The terms are not money, Jat!” little Ade replied while throwing her sweet smile.

“If not money, then what are the terms?” little Jatmiko asked back.

“Iya, De,” replied Little Jatmiko.

“Termsnya, I was allowed to occasionally stay and eat in this house,” replied Ade Kecil by raising one of his eyebrows.

“Wah, if that's even my hope when you're a rich man. I want you to stay here often and not forget about me and my family,” replied Little Jatmiko with a big smile.

Little Ade is two friends with different characters. Little Ade is famous for being caramelized and there are only ideas. With the existence of Little Ade in the village makes the days of Little Jatmiko more cheerful. He who was originally very closely guarded by his parents was finally able to freely play around the village because of the existence of Little Ade. Little Ade always has a strategy how they can both play outside without being caught by Little Jatmiko's parents. Unlike the case with Ade Kecil, Jatmiko Kecil is a quiet person. However, this Jatmiko has the skills to do work that is not usually done by small children. For example, making game tools from wood or used goods. Little Jatmiko can also tame wild animals and so on. In addition, Jatmiko also has above average physical strength. When fighting with his friends, he always wins and never feels afraid. So, when the two of them were together then the whole child-world in the White Curah village did not dare to fight them. The two of them even become ‘Bos’ for children in the White Curah village. Ade Small ‘Bos Big’nya and Jatmiko ‘Algojo’nya.

Ade Kecil and Jatmiko continued their ‘halu’ conversation while looking at the situation on the home page through the window. They both used to do that every afternoon while watching the residents who were on the move. Coincidentally Jatmiko house is near the crossroads that many residents pass. Near his house there is also a place of worship that is occasionally visited by them. By the time the two of them were small, there were still people who visited the place of worship even though the number was small.

“Loh, let's take a shower! You are still there! In five minutes you two get ready to teach, tomorrow you two can not play out of the house!” threatening his father Jatmiko Kecil who suddenly appeared behind them by removing the curtain made of cloth as a barrier to the room Jatmiko Kecil and living room.

“I-iya, Sir!” Ade Kecil and Jatmiko Kecil immediately fled the room to the bathroom.

They both did not want to lose playing time outside the house which was only half an hour. But, usually with the intelligence of Little Ade's mind, the time can increase to an hour or even two hours. One way that Ade Kecil has done is to slow down the old wall clock in the living room of Jatmiko's house. They were not scolded when they came home late. However, as a result, his father Jatmiko Kecil was then questioned by the villagers of Curah Putih for proclaiming Asar's prayer an hour late. There-There was only the behavior of Little Ade and Little Jatmiko at that time. However, remembering that made Mr. Ade feel moved and sad.

Mr. Ade looked out the window. No more people came to the place of worship near Jatmiko's house. The place of worship is no longer maintained. What was seen by Mr. Ade at that time was only residents who did not greet each other. They are busy with their own business. At many points in their home there are many remains of offerings. Every time they went out of the house, they also always brought talismans for safety. In the village of Curah Putih, the person who was confirmed was a shaman. The village device must be close to the shaman in order to be heard by the villagers.

No tears Mr. Ade recalled the childhood life in this village. Mr. Ade stopped his daydream when someone heard a voice coming from behind the door.

“De, are you awake? I forgot to say that the bathroom in this house is jammed. So, which can be used that is outside the house. If you and your family are going to the bathroom. Better done now mumpung still not magrib,” said Jatmiko from behind the door.

“Iya, Jat,” replied Mr. Ade while wiping his tears.

Mr. Ade hurriedly woke up his wife and conveyed the information. Miss Nisa was shocked and she rushed to the bathroom to urinate. Same with Mr. Ade. While Revan still left to sleep because they did not have the heart to wake him.
