My Soul in Grandpa's Hands

Mitoni Preparation

Month after month Aleta's pregnancy was filled with accompanying her husband. Sometimes Aleta will fill her time by joining Devan to the office, or at home and after lunch Devan comes home to eat with his wife at home. Every now and then mama Kinara would visit them in Solo. Like today, all families gather at home, because Kinara will hold a MITONI event or a seven-monthly Aleta pregnancy event. Various equipment prepared by Ms. Rosna with the help of mama Kinara.

"Let's go to Solo looking for equipment for mitoni. If it could all be all seven pieces yes." there was the sound of mama Kinara talking to Miss Rosna.

"Iya batik or rags are also seven pieces there are Truntum Fabric, Sido Mukti Fabric, Sido Mulyo Fabric, Sido Asih Fabric, Sido Drajat Fabric, Satriyo Wibowo Fabric, and Tumbar Broken Fabric. Which fabric does not exist?" sahut Bu Rosna's.

"Oh Mama, mama.., really bothered anyway. Aleta doesn't need to be like that. The important thing is that there is ustadz, we study and share food and groceries to the surrounding neighbors." Aleta mediates the conversation between Mama Kinara and Miss Rosna.

"Eh, yeah can't be so to Ndhuk. This is you know, your mama has come from Yogyakarta to prepare a mitoni event. You forbid." said Miss Rosna.

"Iya Bu, her mitoni event is filled with lectures only. No need to use traditional Javanese events that must provide all seven that you know."

"What's wrong, baby, why are you here. Already let Mom and mom prepare for the show." suddenly Devan came looking for his wife.

"Yes mas, Aleta wants her show to be filled with studies only. Continue to feed and feed the neighbors. This is even mom and mom wear various colors of seven types of cloth."

"Already, let's accompany it. Let's just follow them, let them have an activity." Devan immediately embraces Aleta and takes her to the room.

Mama Kinara pointed her two thumbs at Devan, Miss Rosna smiled.

"Indeed, Aleta didn't like luxury. Yes, ma'am, the child from the baby has been abandoned by his parents in the orphanage. We live in limitations, well good thing Grandpa Cokro's presence changes everything." Ms. Rosna told Aleta about the situation from the baby to Mama Kinara.

"Yes, we must be sure and believe in the greatness of God. If God has willed, then what happened, then it happened." said Mama Kinara.

"But even so, Aleta still had to be full of gratitude. Fortunately there was Miss Rosna, so the child did not suffer."

"Yes ma'am, then what else do we have to prepare" asked Ms. Rosna.

"Already, we just invite Ijonk to take us to the store that sells reworked cloth equipment with rags. You see, there should be seven each." he continued.

Miss Rosna then looked for Ijonk, who was chatting at the front-page security guard post.

"Ijonk...., do you know the complete store near here that sells kemben cloth paraphernalia similar to rags?"

"Yes Ma'am, Ijonk go to Solo City, yes Ma'am, more complete, want to find anything."

"Oh yeah, it's good, Jonk. Wait a minute, Mom. I want to take Devan's mama."

"Ready Ma'am, Ijonk wait in the car."

 After the agreement with Ijonk, Miss Risna immediately went into the house and met Mama Kinara.

"Come Bu, Ijonk will take us all to the city of Solo. He said let it be all we'll need."

"Good then. I didn't take the bag inside."

Finally the house was deserted again, because Miss Rosna and Mama Kinara and Bibi came to Solo with Ijonk.

**************************************************************

Devan and Aleta were watching a television show while sleeping in the room. Aleta laughs at comedy shows. Devan, who was accompanying his wife while doing something on her laptop, laughed.

"Most go shopping mas, delivered Ijonk times."

"Just get the check out."

Devan's out of the room, the door's all closed. He then went to the kitchen, looking at no one. Devan smiled to himself, then returned to the room.

"Aleta.., now yok."

"Hm.., what is it now. It's funny, the show."

"We are alone in the house. Turns out that Aunt was with mom and mom."

"Keep trying to do it. Mas Devan wants to go, yes later donk if mom and mom have come home. So the house is waiting, it's not empty."

"Ah.., why since I was pregnant my wife became LOLA anyway." Devan immediately hugged his wife from behind, and his lips he put on his wife's neck from behind.

"Mas.., this is what it is." protested Aleta, because her body immediately trembled to get a surprise attack from her husband.

Devan did not answer Aleta's protest, his hands were guerrilla into every corner of Aleta's clothes. On top of his wife's fat belly, his hands up and down gave a gentle elusan. Aleta unknowingly issued an ******, and immediately the biggest smile on her husband's lips.

"Mas, Aleta's been having trouble moving. Wait until the baby is born." whispered Aleta in Devan's ear.

"Later baby we can not recognize me, if the mas not eprnah look."

"Ah.why did Devan mind so perverted anyway?"

"Dear baby, Aleta just shut up. I promise I'll slow down baby, I'll move."

Aleta does not answer Devan's words, she just follows Devan's advice to be quiet. Not waiting for long, the two finally got the satisfaction together.

"Thank you dear." a kiss Devan presented on Aleta's forehead. Then another kiss was given in his big belly.

*********************************************

Aleta woke up to hear a noise outside the room. Slowly he woke up, and he realized that under the covers, he was wearing nothing. She smiled and looked at her husband who also seemed to be sleeping. Without waking Devan, Aleta slowly goes to the bathroom to perform the ritual bath.

After 10 minutes, Aleta cautiously clung to the wall walking out of the bathroom. She looked at the bed, saw her husband wriggling and opened his eyes.

"Lho you've had a bath baby, why not wake the mas?"

"Aleta can be alone. It's been a bath there, because outside Aleta's room there was a male voice. So Aleta keeps taking a shower."

"Yes already, out of his room waiting for me. Devan wants to take a shower."

"Well mas, Aleta also still have to dry the hair first use a hair dryer as well.'

Devan then rushed into the bathroom, and Aleta sat in front of the dressing glass while drying her hair. Aleta waited for her husband to finish his business first.
