My Stepfather

Flush

A beautiful girl stands in front of a large mirror attached to the wall of a hotel room. He looked at his body wrapped back in traditional Javanese clothing while sharing a happy smile. The tie neck, as well as his pure white shoulder covered in a vest from the jasmine flower straddle fascinated the beholder. His long hair was left to stretch backwards covering his back. While the top is decorated with bando which is also made of clothes jasmine flowers and cantile.

The girl looked back at herself who was about to do a flush show soon. Actually he did not like the Javanese custom, especially now he had to use open clothing like this. Fortunately, there was a vest from the jasmine flower arrangement that could cover his shoulders and open chest, he felt uncomfortable with materials like this. But how else does Eyang want the wedding of his first grandchild using Javanese customs Keraton. Unfortunately, he was the first grandchild of Eyang. He was forced to follow Eyang's wishes.

Eyang is a figure that is highly respected by the people of Java, especially the Javanese palace. He is famous for his wisdom and nobility which has always been a suri tauladan for Javanese people.

Ya Eyang was a courtier, who also still had blood relations with the Sultan. As a courtier Eyang is required to uphold the dignity and dignity as a noble human being in the eyes of other human beings and also in the eyes of the creator . And in addition, a courtier is also required to always steal the uri, guard, preserve the relics of the ancestors.

He is not very familiar with the Javanese customs adopted by Eyang. He knew very little about Javanese culture, even when he was in school. Plus he had never met Eyang, so didn't know much about his Eyeang. And this was the first time he had seen the figure of Eyang. Because both of her parents had been busy with her world, they rarely took the time to visit Eyang.

The lives of Eyang and his parents are inversely proportional. They are so firmly adhered to maintaining the noble values and norms that have become the basis of life in society. While his parents embraced the liberal system, that life is freedom, the freedom to do many things.

According to his parents this life should develop not necessarily be in the position of a comfort zone like Eyang. The world needs only rational people. In fact, this country only needs people who are able to think realist and rational, not just based on the principle of life that actually hinders the rate of development of the country . And in the end what happened this country became a backward country, colonized controlled into a monthly developed country. Don't we want that to happen again, right? three and a half centuries is enough lives wasted. It's time to change course and figure out how this country can compete internationally. Yes it is your duty the young men of the nation. Ayok spirit wake up land🥳💪

Hehehe back to the story🤭

That's what made his father oppose Eyang by going to the big city. Because if he did not leave then his fate would be the same as that of his other brother, becoming an accomplice of Eyang for life. It was a nightmare for him.

Raden Darma Cokrodiningrat was the first of nine children of Father Gusti Cokrodiningrat and Raden Ayu Sekar. Melinda Cokrodiningrat was the first child of Raden Darma Cokrodiningrat, better known as Arman.

The advice of Eyang Gusti was long, but Melinda mangut mangut did not understand the language of Eyang that sounded medok but smooth.

Translate her

//My most beautiful grandson, are you ready? are you sure of your choice? Hope there is no doubt in your heart, for this is only once until you die.

""Eyang "call Melinda quietly while biting her lower lip.

" heemzz Ono opo"

"I don't understand Eyang's language" Melinda replied in embarrassment. He really knows what Eyang is talking about😴.

Eyang Gusti stared intently at his grandson, he shook his head in annoyance. How outrageous. Has Darma not been teaching his children? then where is the knowledge that he has inherited? , how outrageous the child, apparently he has forgotten the relics of his ancestors. There is no hope like her anymore. Eyang Gusti sighs with forced to repeat his advice using Indonesian.

Melinda smiled at the Javanese translation spoken by her Eyeang. Oh so that means, Melinda muttered in her heart. Melinda was amazed by the principles of her life. Simple but so powerful. Appreciate life by always spreading goodness and involving God in every breath of his life . Melinda felt at peace hearing the new advice from Eyang.

In contrast to what his parents taught him. His mother's father only instilled one principle in the lives of his three children. The treasure of the throne. Melinda stunned is this really the purpose of life? his heart began to doubt. Living with wealth, always chasing popularity as the greatest person in everything, especially in terms of economics. While out there , people whose economy is far below it who never stop raising their hands while holding their stomach holding hunger. Looking for a mouthful of rice by scavenging the trash. Ah what cruel is he? then where lies his conscience all this time. Melinda's heart is in turmoil, a war between conscience and selfishness.

Melinda flinched from her daydream as Eyang's hand patted her shoulder slowly.

"Let's wake up Siraman event has begun" said Eyang

Melinda nodded then followed in Eyang's footsteps. Melinda looked at the back of Eyang who still looked straight. The clothes he used added to his wibawakannya. Melinda was amazed by the Eyeangnya, although her age had stepped in the eighties more but still looks gallant. Wrinkles on his face do not reduce his good looks. Hehehe no wonder that his papa is also handsome, handsome guy plagak from Eyang 🤭

Outside it was already crowded by invited guests who would be witnesses of the ceremony siraman .As Melinda came out with Eyang all eyes were stunned staring at her, including the family of her future husband. This time Melinda's appearance is really stunning, she looks so perfect like an angel. The god looked dumbfounded at Melinda's appearance.

Melinda was led to the watering place by two beautiful girls with bodies wrapped in red cloth. carrying one large tray containing seven flowers . While there God has been sitting waiting surrounded by his close relatives. So will he who will also be accompanied by his relatives as well.

Melinda sat down next to the God. His heart was pounding with breath as if hunting, cold sweat drenching his palms. This was the second moment that she would become a wife. The wife of the God of the ideal man who had made his heart freeze. It's like a dream.

The host began to read out the event that will be taken in one day.The following events will be passed by the bride and groom.

Flush

Shower with water. In this ritual, there will be seven people who pour water on the bride. Later, the bride's father will complete the ritual that is symbolized as self-cleaning before carrying out the next ritual that is more sacred.

Then, both parents held an event selling dawet as a dish to invited guests who had been present to watch the procession that had been running. However, the sale of this dawet is not paid with money, but with crews or pieces of clay pottery as a sign that the essence of life comes from the earth. Here, the mother will serve the buyers, while the father will protect the mother. The meaning is to give an example to his children in the future that they must work together in fostering the household.

Cut tumpeng

Tumpeng is a conical rice dish with various side dishes arranged around it on a round tray made of woven bamboo. In Javanese rituals, tumpeng is synonymous with the symbol of prosperity and well-being because its shape resembles a mountain. This tumpeng cutting procession will be carried out by the father and mother by taking the top of the tumpeng and side dishes

Denang.

Then, the event continued with the procession of the last bribe by the father and mother to the bride-to-be as a sign of the last responsibility of the parents to their children who are getting married.

Plant hair and remove chicken

Embedding a second hair cut bride intends that all bad things are kept away from the household of her two children. After that, it will be followed by the release of a black rooster which indicates that both parents have let their children live independently like a chicken that can find their own food.

Midodarenic

The meaning of the word midodareni itself is an angel, so the hope of the night ritual before releasing this single period is that the bride will look beautiful the next day like an angel from heaven. On this night, the bride will be accompanied by the family only and is prohibited from meeting her future husband because he will receive advice related to marriage.

Without feeling the event is at the end of time. All the procession today goes smoothly and tomorrow is the wrong day of the peak. The two brides exhale a sigh of relief.The process is exhausting but pleasurable. Time to increase stamina because tomorrow is their peak day, and it will certainly be more boring and tiring than today .
