Early in the morning the Wijaya family home was crowded with many people. Parties from the EO have already begun to organize the event venue. There will be two sessions of the event. The first is a teaching event that takes place inside the house. Then the customary event that is mitoni will be done in the pool area behind the house.

Then in their respective rooms, they are ready for a complete civil affairs team from MUA, hair do, and wardrobe. The first event is a study. Therefore, the family turned into alim because it wore a sturdy robe and clothes. The women are very beautiful to wear a robe with a veil of scarves gracefully. While the men with good looks wear sturdy clothes complete with peci.

One by one guests arrive. From the study mothers, orphans, some neighbors and close relatives have started to attend. They sat in rows on the carpet that was provided. Not long after the host entered the venue.

The nuclear family sat lined up facing the guests. Rara and Dion were in the middle flanked by their parents. A welcome to welcome was delivered. Then the show began. From the recitation of the holy verse of the Quran, prayers, religious lectures and asking for the blessing of parents.

"Thank you to everyone who was present. Today is my wife's seven-month pregnancy. Hope everything is healthy and smooth until the day of his birth. Thank you to our parents who always guide us to be a good father and mother candidate later" said Dion

"Father mama, Rara would like to apologize if all this time Rara must have had a lot of wrong. Rara realized that being a mother is not easy. There are so many great things to deal with including pregnancy and childbirth. Soon Rara will be a mother. Shown how the pain of giving birth reminds Rara how the struggle gave birth to Rara. So Rara wants to apologize that is as big as mamah, so that Rara's labor smoothly. Rara also did not forget to ask papah for blessing. Because papah was the first person to carry Rara after being born into the world" Rara cried.

Rara's words make everyone until others get carried away.

After the study was completed, the event continued to be made to the study mothers and orphans by giving donations to them. After that, the Wijaya family went back into the room because they had to change clothes for the traditional mitoni event. While the guests wait while enjoying the snacks that have been provided.

In Kusuma's room.

"For a while Mrs Ratih was put on a bun first" said a soft-boned man.

"This is who madein jaritnya try. Nih Mah"grutu Kusuma.

"Papah ih spoiled bangetbdeh. Ask for help it could be" said Ratih.

"Excuse me sir, let me put it on" said a hijab woman.

While in Isyan's Room.

"Miss Isyana is very pretty. Like an angel" praise a different gentleman.

"Don't be too complimentary. It's my sister-in-law's show. Of course she's the most beautiful" Isyan smiled.

"Beauty Miss Isyan has been bailing buana throughout Indonesia. It is worth getting married. Especially dress up like this. When is Miss Isyana getting married?"said the gentleman while grafting Isyan's hair.

"Yes tomorrow if it doesn't rain" said Isyan chuckling.

In Dion's room.

Dion did not seem to blink when Rara wore a red jump suit combined with roncean jasmine which was used as a slayer on her shoulder. Hair draped with roncean jasmine used as a bandana on the head. Her bloated stomach added to the graceful impression and her maternal aura was so radiated.

"See Mr. Zion, how beautiful is your wife?"ask a mother who dressed Rara.

"Very beautiful." praised Dion while shaking her head in amazement.

"My husband is also handsome" replied Rara when she saw Dion's valour wearing beskap.

After the preparation in the room was completed, all guests were led to the back garden. They sit in chairs that have been lined up neatly facing the stage that has been transformed into a mini guarantee for the flush. Not how long into the family Wijaya go hand in hand.

Isyan took Rara and sat Rara in a small chair on the stage. Then the event began with a flush made by Rama and Sinta. It is continued by Angga and Laras. Succeeded by Kusuma and Ratih. The last Dion.

"Your lion is pouring water on your wife what to the plant anyway? Gently dikit why"tegur Isyan.

Everyone laughed to see Dion who seemed to rush to fetch water in a clay barrel and then splash it on Rara.

"Let the spit be finished. I'm cold in the air" said Dion.

"Say I'm jealous because you don't want Rara to be the center of attention, right?"continued Angga who did know everyone was staring in awe at Rara.

"Well you know" said Dion.

"Sok your possessive" said Rama.

After the flush event is completed, continued the procession ngrogoh clove. Cengkir means coconut buds, as a symbol of the forerunner of the baby to be born. Cloves amounted to two pieces, taken by the father, namely Dion, for the next brobosan ritual (launch). The father will launch two cloves from behind the cloth worn by the mother, Rara.

Cloves or young coconuts used previously have been painted by Dewi Kamaratih symbolizing a beautiful baby woman and Dewa Kamajaya symbolizing a beautiful baby boy. Then, the father split the young coconut as a symbol to open the way the baby to be born in his path.

Dion put both hands on his back thinking he would take the right or left.

"Right!!!"

"Left!!"

Everyone shouted out his choice to make dion go awry. Dion also decided to take the right and it turns out the picture of Dewi Kamaratih.

"Yeay our granddaughter is like a woman" cried Rama who seemed excited.

"Definitely beautiful rich Rara" continued Sinta.

Then Dion cut the cloak open with a machete.

It's not finished until the ritual. Because there are still pantes-pantesan rituals. In the procession of pantes, the mother will change clothes or eradicate fashion seven times. Later, the invitation will simultaneously answer inappropriate until the 6th dress. Then the 7th dress will be worn by mother. This became one of the unique rituals in the Mitoni procession.

Previously the 7th dress was set to wear jarit and kebaya which became a uniform for the family. Continued the tumpeng cut event that Rara did with Dion.

Dion feeds Rara romantically. Then he kissed her after bribing her.

"Geez the prospective father is the same as his romantic mother-to-be."ledek Laras.

The last procession of sales of dawet and rujak is done by Rama and Sinta. All the invited guests approached Rama and Sinta who were already sitting in a special cart for the sale of dawet, they crowded into the trade of Dion's parents.

"Happy to see our families gather together" Kusuma said, embracing Ratih.

"Yes, I never thought Dion would have a child. When can we see Isyan getting married" Ratih said looking at Isyan who was chatting with orphans.

"We'll definitely see her get married soon. Be patient" said Kusuma stroking Ratih's back.

"Dion you better take Rara to the room. I think he's tired. Let papah take care of the event" Angga said.

"Good Pah. Come on Ra" said Dion and then took Rara into the house.

"Well, we'll get Rara's granddaughter. Can we get a granddaughter from Arya?"laras said sadly.

"Well, we don't know the young man Arya yet or not" Angga said.

"But mamah believes he's Arya" Laras said.

"We pray that a miracle will come" Angga said.

At the end of the event all guests enjoy the dishes that have been provided. Not to forget the Wijaya family distributed parcels wrapped in paper bags to study mothers, orphans, and other invited guests as souvenirs. The guests were surprised when they saw the contents of the paper bag. It contains three high end perfume products, saty expensive tea packages of various flavors, and shopping vouchers at one of the malls owned by Wijaya Group of two million.

One by one the invited guests also paid to go home because the event was completed at exactly two in the afternoon. And all the members of the Wijaya family went into the house to rest.

While Isyan is seen not climbing the stairs instead he walks towards the outside of the house.

"Where is she going?"tegur Kusuma's.

"Isyan wants to go for a while somewhere to calm down Pah" Isyan said.

"With the kebaya?"ask Ratih with a confused face.

"From wearing a sack. Isyan wants to go. Don't ask the bodyguard to come. Isyan did not elope" she shouted Isyan walked away from home.

Kusuma and Ratih looked at each other to see Isyan go. There was sadness on Isyan's face. Even during the event Isyan was so smart as to cover up her grief.

Isyan came out of the house to be greeted by bodyguards. Isyan walked over to his favorite luxury BMW. The bodyguard opened Isyan's door.

"You don't have to come. I'm just leaving for a moment" Isyan said with a cold face.

"But Miss..."

"Don't argue! Or I'll break your hand!"gertak Isyan's.

Isyan drove the car out of his house.
