"Lho...?"

Rojali was stunned while making sure the adult man in front of her.

"Oh, whoa, whoa...!"

"The gua didn't see it wrong, did he?"

The adult man scanned the man wearing the all-white wedding dress, from top to bottom.

"Ha, are you Rojali?"

her asking makes sure she's scared of the wrong person.

"Huhaha...,"

"Who do you think I am the boss?"

kekeh Rojali while patting on the shoulders of the astonished man.

"Wuiddihh..., is this serious you?"

"Haha.gue kira movie actor the Raid,"

his laughter while shaking the hand of the bride-to-be who just grinned.

"Oath,gue pangling,lu cool abis Bro,"

"Kok you marry me don't ngundang I si?"

"Luckily, I'm here,"

scowl the man while pushing softly on Rojali's shoulder.

"Gue emang ngundang-ngundang, Bos,"

"The way is simple, only marriage and only the closest family to be sacred,"

"Partially, according to my kayak budget,"

obviously Rojali then chuckled softly.

"Sok down you!"

"Your camouflage object is,"

"The pension of aje lu ngojek, noh your pond urusin, next week export again right?"

sergeant the man while patting Rojali on the shoulder in a fit of anxiety.

"Alhamdulillah, I'm rezeky this year, Boss,"

"You know, I want to have a bini,"

lirih Rojali half whispered, then they laughed together.

"Bang, so not married?"

exclaim Jihan in front of Rojali while shaking her waist.

"Eh, lha be dong!"

said Rojali quickly.

"Yes, come in!what's the laugh there?"

"I don't know what you saw, no!"

nagging Jihan while pointing her index finger at the gawking mothers there are even some who whisper while giggling.

The two strong men looked at each other.

Then pass by casually.

Passing through the netizen fence line is not ayu fence.

Because they kept whispering in a clear voice.

Some even screeched as guests from Nur passed by them.

"Oh my gosh, that's a macho guy, really,"

"Why am I married to'ing the mak is not the same guy who is like that,"

"Ye, memak also want tuker added your father ama soan,"

"So, you know it's fat,"

"La,elu also realized,elu pan buntet, eat it who wants only the to'ing,"

"Ish,emak don't unload the disgrace of your own son dong,"

Well, that's a glimpse of the debate between the mother and the child who happened to be Fatimah's next-door neighbor.

Which that day followed in the row of ayu fence to welcome the besan family.

Treeettt...tetc..treet...tets,tets,tets,tets!

Duarr..duarr..door...duarrrr!

The group was also greeted by the sound of firecrackers.

Then, in the voice of the horn of the hadroh team.

Who accompanied the group of besan from outside the alley to the front of the yard of the bride's house.

Tala’al Badru ‘alaina

من ثنيات الوداع

Min tsaniyatil wada’'s

وجب الشكر علينا

Jabassyukru wa ‘alaina

دعى لله داع

Mada ‘a lillahida’

Compact tambana harbors echo in the densely populated village.

Now the group had reached the entrance.

Now they are welcomed by several men dressed in red costumes.

While the man dressed in pangsi who was on Rojali's side was black.

Pangsi is one type of traditional betawi clothes that are worn by men.

They each numbered two.

Throwing each other a welcome pantun.

 Red: "Wooyy !"

"Stop, stop Bang, stop...!"

"Eh, Budeg ape luh pade?"

" This, this ape , this noisy gambreng gumbrang aje luh dimari... ?"

"Ape luh pade kaga tau if the master of the cave again has a wish ?!"

Black: "Emang kite pade mao to Bang," "Mao nengokin would-be ghost!"

Red:" Ehh Bang, the car passing through Setu village, the pumpkin machete bumbunye terasi..." "Kalo mao take the future son-in-law, leave the village people I'm sorry!"

Black: "Oh so sleep here should be mission Bang??"

Red: "Lha iye... luh luh kaga kayi ade cave dimari ??"

Black:" Sebelonnye saye said, Assalamualaikum, Bang...!"

Red: "Waalaikumsalam, sautin cave"

Black: "Bang, vegetable kalo pumpkin machete seasoning terasi, do not be wrapped dalem selampe,"

" Saye tau Bang kalo mao liwat kampung kudu pardon,nyang saye kaga tau, is this brother ready?"

Red:" Jiaahhh,die balloon tau ready kite?" (same friend by the way)

"You know who Kite is,"

Red: "Bang... buy tofu at the kote market, eat hodgepodge in Cikini..."

"You really want to know who Kite is,

kite is the village's champion here!"

Black : "Ohh... Big brother village here?"

" If it's Bang, then we've eaten a can in the market on Friday,"

"Pulangnye stopped by Pinang Ranti first..." "Saye ama the group of dateng with all due respect, please dirime with seneng ati,"

Red:"By the melamine plate, buy nye away at merunde,"

"By aje lu in terime, the origin of bise lewatin kite berdue!"

Black:"Si Doyok to tanabang buy perkut, bum Bang ready to be afraid!"

Then the men dressed in pangsi betawi also fought each other.

Starting from empty hands then with a sharp object that is usually called a cleaver.

This is one of the customs of the Betawi land.

Which means that betawi youth must be friendly, polite, smart and martial.

Who's seen the doorstop show?

It's rare now.

Usually we can see in JCC during the anniversary of Jakarta.

Or you can see it in Setu Babakan.

Want a variety of culinary styles of betawi also exist.

Ahh...when did this pandemic end?

Mak Chibi wants to go for a walk and eat soto betawi in front of the setu.

Hamoo...💃

Dah, don't forget the thumbs for mom...🥳💋
