Our Souls (Maybe)

custom again

Can not be denied if the status of the family is always made the main topic to unite two families, especially Anwar and Diah living in Java which is syarak with various customs .

That is the long thought of Diah to accept Anwar's love, he does not want because his selfishness will make the good relationship of two families become fractured, especially Anwar family is very good with his family, indeed, it cannot be denied if his family life is very dependent on the Anwar family

Diah does not want if his family life continues to depend on the Anwar family, his determination to move forward to defeat his love for Anwar

At the house of Diah

That afternoon Diah cooked in the kitchen, rather heating up the morning's cooking and boiling water with her mother, what is said is that the kitchen here is not a kitchen with a permanent table on which there is a gas stove, and a dishwasher like most minimalist homes now but rather a bamboo booth with a furnace , javanese people call it “luweng” whose walls are left unclad, so it looks more like a chicken coop with makeshift furniture, namely pots and pans that have begun to blacken at the bottom because every day exposed to embers

Bu Kasih looked to be in front of the softwood with firewood in his hand, while Diah memotongi vegetables that will be cooked tomorrow morning so that tomorrow morning just cook it

“nduk..”.

“iya buk ..”

“ibuk see you earlier with Anwar “

“ibuk ...” Diah's face has begun to pias, guilt appears

“ibuk not angry, the edge of eleng mduk ..” bu Kasih began to approach Diah who was educated on a small bench

“mean ibuk?”

(again custom ....., wipe?) inner Diah meronta

After hearing the explanation from his mother, it feels extinct already hope to have more relationship with Anwar, family or community in their area is still very put forward custom, so can not be origin of matchmaking, so can not be arranged, there are aides to the rules, for example again not if the direction ngalor ngulon, big jump times, geyeng (wage-pahing), etc, pincangan (one of the families there are incomplete parents) and many more rules of Java that must be obeyed for those who still believe

“not buk, Diah nrima Anwar buk application, Diah quite know who Diah is buk”

“good nduk, instead of ibuk iki do not like Anwar, Anwar will be good, tanti if we already have the windfall to find a laen house, we move from here”

“thank buk”

At Anwar's house

Anwar was ready to go to bandung, he could not fight his parents, but even though the place of college had been determined by his parents, but fortunately the matter of majors remained Anwar's authority

Although very heavy, but it is okay for him also not to disappoint his parents, he is the only hope of both parents because as an only child

“may indeed we should part ways In..” Anwar who had finished packing his things sat in the corner of the bed that was not too wide with his frustrated face

“hopefully I can get away from you, someday we will definitely meet back”
