Hajatan Procession

~3 Days later

Now the day on which the procession of Hajatan and in the house of Anin there is the procession of Hajatan.

Installation of tratag and tarub was almost finished and in Javanese traditional weddings the first thing to do is to install a tent decoration called tratag and decoration of janur or young coconut leaves called tarub.

Both of these decorations are installed at the entrance and become a sign that the family is holding a ghost event.

Meanwhile, the yellow janur curved as if asking for light on the Almighty, as a prayer for blessings and prosperity on the two brides.

"Allhamdulilah installation of tratag and tarub has been completed, then the next event we do the mayang twin performances. " Say the host and previously the mayang twins will be involved for the sub-midodareni ceremony until the ceremony (will be explained later).

As the name suggests, mayang twins are a pair of decorative ornaments formed from a series of roots, stems, leaves, flowers, and fruit half to one adult body.

Mayang twins will be involved from the midodareni sub-ceremony to the grill ceremony. Mayang twins are believed to provide motivation and wisdom to both partners to undergo a new sheet of household.

"The next way to install tuwuhan, " said the host

The meaning of the tidal tuwuhan is the hope of both spouses to be blessed with momongan.

One important part in tuwuhan is the king banana tree whose fruit is ripe.

In addition to bananas, there are also sugar cane wulung, ivory cloves, leaf rabu, and other foliage. Leaves as a symbol of obstacles in life, which are expected to be able to pass together.

They also put up a tuwuhan from one by one. Until it's finally finished.

"The next way is flush, which has been done before and now to clean up as well. Yesterday it was flush and then we did it back flush. " Because yesterday was done flush by the two brides.

Anin came out of her room and was led by her mother. Anin was sitting on the chair that was provided. There were seven men who did a flush to Anin.

The first person to perform a flush on Anin was her mother and then by her uncle.

There are seven people because this number is based on the designation seven in Java, namely “pitu” or required as a pitulungan (help) to the bride and groom.

Next the last is the pakdenya who did the flush and finally finished. Pakdenya from a male family, because it used to do the responsibility for all pakdenya (Pak. Eddn). Because his uncle who took care of Anin and his uncle had not been gifted a child. That's why he loved Anin.

"Pakde, don't hold me. I'm ashamed, if pakde is not strong how? " ask Anin

"already pakde is still strong for it all, stamina pakde still awake. " Answer Mr. Edi.

"Next dodol dawet event, which will serve Bu Siti and who protect Mr. Edi. Is it okay for his wife to be Edi? " ask the host

"yes, I'm sincere because I want to be responsible for everything that my late sister-in-law ordered. " Said Mr. Wati (wife of Mr. Edi) with a smile

"yes it is now the guests, the distinguished audience can buy the original dodol dawet sales from Bu Siti and Pak Edi. He succeeded Anin's dead father. " Thus dodol dawet sales Bu Siti and pak Edi were sold and buyers paid for it with pottery or crews made of clay.

This is an example that a husband and wife should be working together in building a household.

"Okay, next event cut the tumpeng and please to bu Siti same sir Edi cut the tumpeng! " that way there are some people who bring tumpeng and put it on the table.

Mr. Edi and Ms. Siti cut the top of the tumpeng along with the side dishes.

"Next, the conclusion is concluded and for the bride please come out! "

Anin came out and her mother went to Anin. Anin and her mother cry because all this time who takes care of Anin is her mother and who remembers the past is her own son. His mother had to let Anin go to build her own family. His mother kissed Anin's head and kissed Anin's cheek. Her mother grew sobbing and Anin was the same as her mother. For him a mother is a person who meritorious in his life.

Furthermore, Mr. Edi who did the reinforcement to Anin and Mr. Edi kissed the head of Anin and stroked Anin's head.

"OK, now we're going to do hair planting and chicken release. Please for his parents please cut the bride's hair. Then, planted in the ground. And the chicken will be done by his parents. "

Mr. Edi and Ms. Siti also did a little cutting Anin's hair and put it in a container that has been brought.

Mr. Edi and Ms. Siti dug up the soil and put Anin's hair into the ground and planted it.

Now he had a black rooster ready and released it. As a form of sincerity parents let their children live independently. Like a chicken that can feed itself.

"Okay, the event is over and the midodareni ceremony continues later tonight. I welcome Mr. Edi and Ms. Siti please rest. The bride was also invited to rest."
