Time passed in an instant, the process of building Reya's house was finally completed as well. Reya was very satisfied with the performance of the artisans who had managed to build his house according to what he wanted.
Reya toured her new home with Juragan Nalendra, all the furniture neatly arranged and structured. Reya's new home has a living room, dining room, lounge room, three rooms with one large room as the main room.
The main room has a bathroom inside, while the other two rooms do not have one. There are two bathrooms lined up close to the kitchen, one for the bath and one for the toilet.
There were two kitchens in Reya's house, she wanted one kitchen inside the house and one open kitchen outside. The open kitchen is used for cooking and the kitchen in the house is only used when Reya wants to cook at night.
Reya makes two kitchens because she really wants to have an open kitchen that can see the surrounding environment when she cooks, so that it can add a comfortable atmosphere when cooking. But she was afraid that if she was hungry at night she would have to go outside to cook, so she made another kitchen inside the house.
Some inter-room doors are made without door leaves, with Javanese carving ornaments that add to its appeal. Wood carving is made of old teak wood, so it has a long durability.
During the tour of the house, Reya kept smiling looking at the end result of his house.
"Honey, I'm very satisfied with the end result" said Reya who was sitting in the kitchen outside enjoying the newly made lemon ice.
"Em, I'm also happy when you're happy" Juragan Nalendra smiled gently at Reya who was drinking iced lemon.
"After the construction of the house, do I have to give thanks for the new house? I heard that in the village often give thanks when finished building a house" said Reya who asked for an opinion to Nalendra.
"As for you, the important thing is that you do not bother later" said Nalendra.
Reya was silent for a moment thinking whether she would give thanks or not. If he does not hold it, what will he be seen as an arrogant person. Or better he just do it.
But he has spent a lot of money to build a house, if he holds a Thanksgiving later he has to spend more money.
Reya rubbed her face in frustration.
"Here you go, if you mind don't go" Juragan Nalendra rubbed Reya's head gently to calm her down.
"No, I have to do it. I don't want to be said to be an arrogant person who doesn't want to give home thanks" Reya firmly decided to give thanks.
Juragan Nalendra laughed softly at Reya's behavior, "Who will say you are arrogant dear, it is not necessary. You seem to object" persuaded Juragan Nalendra.
"No, you must not persuade me to abandon my intentions. I have to do it" said Reya.
"Yes, we are giving thanks" said Nalendra.
"What should I be prepared to give thanks?" Ask Reya.
Nalendra Langsug was silent to Reya's question, he never took care of things like that. There will be people who take care of such an event.
"I don't know" said Nalendra.
Reya looked at Juragan Nalendra strangely, how could he not know. Had he never held a thanksgiving or some kind of tahlilan, he should have done that.
"You don't know? Then when you have a thanksgiving, tahlilan or recitation who will take care of it?" Ask Reya.
"Usually there are my employees who take care of it, I just need to give him money" replied Nalendra Nurse while holding his nose.
"Here you go, I asked Lek Yayuk" Reya said.
"No problem, there's still someone else I can ask" Reya put her hand over Nalendra's.
......................
"Lek Yayuk" Reya said, knocking on Lek Yayuk's door.
Reya waited for about five minutes in front of the door to grab hold of Lek Yayuk's name. But for so long, no one opened the door.
"She should still be home, just finished the harvest. But why doesn't anyone answer" Reya murmured.
Reya then went around Lek Yayuk's house, maybe he was behind the house. Arriving at Reya at the back of the house, she could see Lek Yayuk crouching in the shower near the bathroom while cleaning the conch.
"Yayuk Lek"
Hearing Reya's voice, Lek Yayuk immediately raised his head to see who was calling him.
"Mbak Reya, what's wrong? Tumben clock as early as my nyari" said Lek Yayuk when he saw Reya.
Lek Yayuk hurriedly washed his hands with soap and closed the bucket containing the conch. Lek Yayuk then approached Reya who was standing not far from the shower.
"Let's go ahead, it's a bit messy here" Lek Yayuk asked.
They then walked to the front of the house and sat on the couch. After they sat down, Reya began to suggest the intention of his arrival.
"Look at Lek, my house just finished waking up. Well, I want to give thanks" Reya kept quiet for a while, then continued her words.
"But, I have no experience of the process of procuring thanksgiving. If Lek Yayuk doesn't mind, can you help me?" Continue Reya with shame - shame.
"Woah, that's good. Do not be ashamed - embarrassed if you want to ask Lek for help, just calm down will help Lek" said Lek Yayuk with enthusiasm. Reya smiled happily at Lek Yayuk's words.
"If you may know, what are the pelu prepared Lek?" ask Reya.
"Most importantly it's the same food as Ma'am. For food we usually cook ourselves, as a sign of respect for the person we invite. Trus we have to think about where to gather, whether it will be enough or not to accommodate the number of people we invite" explained Lek Yayuk.
"Himself cooking? Wouldn't it be too heavy for Lek if I cooked the food myself?" Ask Reya doubtfully.
"Oh, yes, you are not the one who cooked Ma'am. There will be many neighbors who help you, there are - there are you" said Lek Yayuk while laughing funny, Reya felt embarrassed because of his stupid thoughts.
"Oh that's it Lek, I think having to cook it myself is really alone cooking it" said Reya with embarrassment.
"When's the plan, Ma'am Reya wants something?" ask Lek Yayuk.
"Maybe two more days" Reya replied uncertainly, she had not given much thought to her time.
"Then, tomorrow must start buying the same ingredients for cooking" said Lek Yayuk.
"Come to your house Ma'am, we detailed the materials that must be purchased" continued Lek Yayuk.
Reya nodded at Lek Yayuk's words, they then walked towards Reya's house.
