The melodious sound of mu’adzin from the mosque in the neighborhood of Zulfa bak sir called the men to immediately go to the mosque, hoping for the priority of 27 degrees of congregational prayer’ah for men from the munfarid prayer. Hadi's father, Abah Zulfa and Nizar immediately headed for the mosque.
After the dawn prayer, Nizar continued with morning dhikr hoping for all good to come this morning. Begging to avoid all bad, and given the gift of extraordinary patience.
Patience awaits Beena's wide open heart for her, for her life and her future.
Early in the morning, worshippers from the mosque began to come out one by one leaving the house of God.
Nizar walks flanked by Beena's father and her brother.
"Want to do Beena, Zar?"
"Yes yeah"
" You're the right man to be with Beena, it's not wrong that we chose you".
"Goddessa, yeah. May God do all our business".
"You're as pessimistic as Beena, Zar?" ask Abah Zul.
"Not pessimistic Abah, Nizar just learning realistic"
"Lho, it's true that Beena doesn't like you what? though Abah saw you guys quite get along, friendly even"
"Yes, Nizar doesn't know Beena nerima Nizar yet or not".
"Yes, kid, it needs a process. Let you enjoy being together first. I'm sure with you guys being together will grow in love. Witing tresno jalaran saka kulino"
Father convinces Nizar, so that he remains eager to get the love of Beena who until now has not been seen neutral.
While ummu Farida, Ibu Halimah and Tabeena perform congregational prayers at home. After the prayer, the three of them sat in the kitchen to prepare breakfast.
For Umm Farida, ability in the kitchen is a must. Because starting from food served with love for the husband and children will bring its own blessing for a household.
“ Today we want to cook what te?” ask Beena.
“Do not call aunt ah, call ummi ya”
"Ummi.." - gumamnyano.
Ah, looks like it's foreign to Beena
Beena moved her eyeballs, she thought the call was strange. Given all this time he's been used to calling aunty. But, nothing is just a call to familiarize.
“ Breakfast menu this time we make brown rice, vegetable anointing, camp chicken and pepes fish."
For breakfast only, the menu is complete. Another case if Beena in Jakarta enough toast. Even so, if you take a break, sometimes Beena prefers breakfast in the cafeteria.
"Mas Nizar likes to eat what noodles?"
The original question Beena asked. But it makes ummi happy.
" Nizar it likes the same red rice pepes fish”
"Non-cholesterol hygienic food, that's a real doctor"
Say Beena while helping wash the rice.
“ Ummi is good at cooking yes, great.
“ Great again your mother, although she was busy taking care of boutiques, taking care of 3 children but the kitchen business settings do not miss” Umm Farida praised bu Halimah, her comrade-in-arms.
“ Yes , mother is indeed the best anyway” Beena hugged her mother.
“ In the past, we were the cooking champion at the DWP Kemenag race event you” said mother while wrapping fish.
" Benereological Mom? I never told you about Beena!"
Beena walked over towards Bi Tarsih.
“ Yes really, that time is the anniversary of kartini yes jeng?”
Umm Farida remembered the moment of excitement at that time.
"Let me just bi "
"Don't mbak, his hand will be hurt".
"Auntie don't underestimate me, gini-gyi likes to help mom in the kitchen. Yes Ma?"
"Help to eat yes." answered the mother.
This time I could not compromise.
" Here bi, the sheep"
Beena forced herself to try unusual things.
“ Nggeh mbak, be careful ya” replied Bi Tarsih, the family rewang Abah Zulfa who had accompanied Umm Farida from the beginning to occupy the house in Jogja.
“ Remember yes nduk, as busy as any woman outside. Don't forget our nature as our partner's wingking conco. Make sure the stomach of your husband and children will have to be filled from home” Book mom this time with java philosophy .
"Ngggeh Ma'am" replied Beena
As a Javanese, Beena understood patriarchal culture. Conco wingking term pinned on a wife terms of meaning. The patriarchal culture in Java shows a correlation in Islamic law. Where there are certain restrictions in gender relations that show the position and role of men who are more dominant than women. The concept of swarga nut, hell, describes the position of the wife who must obey the priest.
Conco wingking (a friend in the kitchen) describes how strong the wife must be in three affairs, namely well, kitchen and mattress. A wife is required to be perfect in the household. The demands of the role of the wife must be proficient in 3 AD, macak (pink), cook, manak (produce offspring).
In Javanese culture, besides as konco wingking also known as garwa (sigaraning life\= soulmate) which describes a more egalitarian position.
Where a wife must be a companion who always accompanies the struggle of the husband in the household . Where the totality of the devotion of the wife is a diplomatic strategy in order to gain authority which is the hope of the realization of harmony a family life .
Hearing a lecture from mother and ummi Farida made Beena successfully run a coconut marath mission unharmed.
This is one of the amazing achievements. Beena rarely cooks.
During college, Beena only once a week to do activities in the kitchen to help Teh Raya.
Since working at FirstTv, which has a busy schedule makes Beena rarely cook at home.
But of course it's not a barometer of failing to be a good housewife. He can still learn.
" Na, can you help me get some dead food to the table"
Ummi was holding a bench of brown rice that was still smoking.
"Yes mi"
"Bi, would you please have the pepes burned first huh?"
" Nggheh Ma'am"
After all the food is served at the dinner table.
Beena went to the room. Clean yourself and prepare a few pieces of clothes for him to carry while on the mountain kidul.
This time Beena intends to stay with Bang Bily and friends.
He was already quite unwell enough to trouble Nizar a lot.
Anyway not good as well with Reyna who has to go on her own. Bimo and Bily must have left Reyna for certain things.
"Ah, finally packing is done"
Beena exited the room carrying a backpack on her back.
He deliberately left some goods and clothes at Nizar's house. This is because the father is determined to always be at Nizar's house while in Jogja.
Putting clothes in a backpack is a surefire choice to avoid questions and requests his father who according to Beena was excessive.
To Beena, Nizar was still like a big brother as he was when he was little. He could not accept it with more feelings.
