Riana served her homemade fried rice on the boarding-house living room table, for five people. Today Vishnu, Ganesh and Muara want quality time here. The plan, on this sunny Sunday morning they want to rent a studio for jamming.

“Eh gess... We have a long holiday, no?” Riana broke the silence.

“Still kethok-e Ri, la ngopo?” ask Muara.

“On the same inget Yura not?”

“Mbak Yura that we entertained at his wedding?” ask Hanum.

“Iyup, bener.” Answer Riana.

“La ngopo mbak?” ganesh asked.

“Anu, she invited us all to Jogja, to Mas Jere's place, she said she had given birth.” explained Riana.

“Lho, sido stay nang Jogja ta him?” ask Muara.

“Ora, wong jare HPL is still a long time but not abominable want to be born here, Mas Jnya also still have business in Jogja kethok-e, younes sido born ndek kono baby.” replied Riana.

“Oalah yo come on, kabeh wae nang Jogja.” says Ganesh.

“Lho, do agree tah iki?” ask Riana.

“Yo why don't you love, the holiday rame-rame kayak we first it. Only difference, now we do not seek, nyatu continue.” replied Muara.

“La that you two are good at double date, la I piye e?” vishnu's lament.

“Iya yes, really close you Nu, hunted home anyway yesterday Mas Alitnya, nek ora kan ben invited by sisan..” ledek Hanum.

“On mbak, sak happyamu wes, kok I dikon bebojoan karo mase i piye.” sukan Vishnu. Hanum Just ngakak.

“Yowes bar maem we are all packing wes, I booked the ticket, so tomorrow stay five..” said Muara.

“Lah, sido saiki memenan ta?” Riana wonder.

“La iyoo, want when again, wes gek ndang, ben ndang mari ndang uwes..” said Muara. Everyone nodded, then started eating.

***

The next morning, in the car. The five half-naughty children turned out to be really so went to Jogja. And since their new batteries are all charged, along the way it is – in the car, there is aa aja that is distributed.

“Ssttt reeeekk, menengo tah, do ribut wae wong papat ki Gustiii.” riana's nag.

“Mbuh ki, Mas Muara you want to,” scold Hanym.

“Hadeeeh nyesel I charge your batteries full-fledged, do noisy, do not be conditioned,” Riana's nag.

“That can already be conditioned dear, Ganesh has already slept well,” Muara said while pointing at her sister Riana who was sitting right next to her.

“Halah Ganesh lak **** anyway, angger kink pillow AC, yo wes, turu..” Riana said. But thank God, by noon, the atmosphere was calm. And their batteries run out on their own.

***

“Ehhh welcome to Jogjaaaa!” welcome Jeremy so excited the five kidsonda, uh, the young man came down from the iron snake that brought them all from Surabaya to come here.

“Eh, Mas Jere, healthy?” tanya Muara while giving a typical male greeting with the person who had been his boss.

“Health. Alhamdulillah has been father for three days.” he replied.

“How does it feel bro? Enjoy a?” tanya Muara bad rada.

“Ya mixed, fitting the initial manufacturing process anyway favors-only, but pas already so, see the side effects for the sake of side effects that there is a bit pity.”.

“But not kapok to make again right?” muara asked increasingly bar-bar, and Riana had to pull out next to her ear to stop it.

“Ah younes, go straight home, want to this afternoon. You guys already at the belom meal?” ask Jeremy.

“Eating it's a business later mas, already at the satisfaction of snacking earlier.” replied Riana.

“Allah youes, anyway later in your house will be served all-out, kayaking at Sakura Hotel. Relax...” joked Jeremy. They all smiled, then got into Jeremy's car which seemed to have been prepared for their pick-up, judging from its size.

***

“Oooooh, this is Nak Muara and friends huh? Come on, please come in, ndak papa, consider your own home only..” Muara and her friends were a little surprised to receive such a welcome from a middle-aged woman who still looked fresh and beautiful, despite her age was no longer young.

“Do not be surprised, my mother is so. Yuk, in... Where is Yu, Bun?”

“Yura again nyuin Adam in his room... Yes, you have met Yura first, let the mother who entertained your friends, dah, there, from yesterday the birth wife also worked only you then.” her mother's nag. Jeremy grinned, so after saying goodbye, he left his friends and his mother, then went into the room, met his wife and son.

“Iya mother, thank you for the welcome..” Riana said with a smile. For some reason, his first impression was immediately good when he first saw and knew his friend's mother.

“Ya has entered yuk, it is cloudy, soon raining richly,” invite Mother Henny. Everybody nodded.

***

The house that Jeremy and his wife currently live in is a half-and-a-half concept house; half modern, half classic. If we look at the tropical concept in some hanging pots arranged on a fairly spacious terrace, it seems that this house is arranged quite modern. But if you have seen carved teak doors and large windows, immediately feel the vintage atmosphere.

“Ayok son, please put the bag first. Mother has prepared two rooms for you. Make men, the left ones yes, the women on the right,” said Mother Henny again. The five children nodded. And according to Mother Henny's direction, they immediately went to the rooms where they rested, and put the bags there.

“Crazy, very important yes Mas Jere, his house you know cuyyy..” praise Vishnu while observing the room where he will rest peacefully *eh.

“Ho-oh i, the room that we are also very good,” said Riana.

“Weh, how is rek? Wes comfortable?” jeremy asked, who was suddenly behind them all.

“Why is the dialogue so kayaking in the movie Rumah Dara anyway? We're gonna get out of here alive, right?” cananda Riana's.

“Damn lo, yes it is... Tuh, yuk to the room, Yura has been very chatty you guys. But entry one-one yes, because my baby latah..”.

“Hah, how late?” ask Riana.

“Yes, surprised to meet new people,” replied Jeremy plain.

“Anjir not latah dong mas if it's his nameaa..” Riana.

“Yowes iyo-iyo, I was wrong. Yes already, take turns in,” said Jeremy. Riana nodded. And he decided to enter first, because it was indeed him who knew Yura very well.

***

“Mbak, congratulations on being a mother..” said Riana sincerely while shaking tightly Yura's hand.

“Thanks, Ri. Honestly I still do not know you know, can be in this phase.” said Yura.

“How to make it?” ask Riana.

“Ya happy, excited, but sometimes if Adam's a bit cryy, kind of whining, I'm still kind of surprised... Since when the hell is here there is a baby that, I continue to realize... Oh yes deng, that's my son yak.” Riana laughed, hitting Yura's arm playfully.

“Teng yes mbak lo children, the combination of his fathers who are on good looking all..” praise Riana again, while staring at the baby boy who fell asleep full on the baby box.

“Alhamdulillah Ri's... Ah no ah, we are not good looking really, just ordinary.” said Yura.

“So how the process?”

“Means?” Yura doesn't understand.

“Give him through what path?” Riana clarified.

“Lewat self-contained line, Ri. Soale just want to pass the invitation line, it turns out the report value does not meet the je standard..”.

“Ora sisan SNM or SBMPTN aja mbak?” riana's Nagging.

“Hahaha, yes maap-maap. Previously wanted to normal Ri, but because already one x 24 hours opening is not complete-complete yes finally SC, deh. About the position of the baby was already wrapped around the umbilical cord... I originally thought... Iki isok congratulations ora yo?”

“But thank God, the mother and baby are all safe..” said Riana while rubbing Yura's hair. For some reason, why he became overwhelmed by himself watching his best friend who had become a mother like this.

“That's why you, Ri?” asked Yura astonished.

“Ora popo mbak, terjaru wae..” Riana wiped her tears.

“You can feel it too someday Ri. And Insha ALLAH, Muara is the right person for it..”.

“Halah kene yo seh suwe mbak, wong lagek arep semester 2 kok. Do’a aja.” said Riana.

“Yo must wae tho, do’a best for best friend as well. Only elo is supportive whatever I did before, only elo can look sincere friendship, regardless of what I have, or I am whose child. That's why I feel at home together elo..” said Yura.

“Yo kudune ngono ta mbak, first appreciate others if we want to be appreciated. Life is that simple, right?” Riana. He smiled, then rubbed the head of Baby Adam who was still asleep in his box. Yura nodded. Again fun to chat, suddenly Mother Henny – mama-in-law, entered while carrying a plate containing fruits.

“Come, busui beautiful gek maem iki, butcher must, bar nyusui ho-oh tho?”

“Halah mother, while mako wae you know ra popo, together with shah-cah..” said Yura.

“Wes ora popo, nutrition of nursing mothers must be complete and guaranteed right. Ho-oh than, Ria boy? Sopo tho nduk jenengmu ki?” Mother Henny laughed.

“Riana, mother...” replied Riana.

“Oh, iyo, Riana's son. Yowes yoh, gek in the hands of Iku, Yu, mother neruske leh cook yo...”

“Engih, maturnuwun mother..” says Yura sincerely. Mother Henny nodded, then left Yura and Riana both in the room.

“Yowes mbak, eaten the fruits, I want to go to the children first..” said Riana.

“Iyo, later if Adam has woken up, I join there deh,” said Yura. Riana nodded. Then he immediately left, as soon as he heard the sounds of musical instruments from a distance.

***

“Masya ALLAH, ra common pisan og wong-wong ki, wes genah-genahe ndek kene onok bocil, kok yo do jamming?” omel Riana, when he arrived at the gazebo behind the big house. Gazebo is beautiful, because it faces directly to the fish pond and various ornamental plants around it.

“Halah ra krungu Ri nek tekok kene, adoh wesan... Wes join here, check keyboard-e.” Said Jeremy. Riana grinned, then nodded. His fatigue due to travel far enough Surabaya-Jogja instantly disappeared, as soon as he saw and heard something he loved very much. Music, and so do others. True music lovers.
