The mother who was at the front desk near them, did not really hear what the four of them were laughing at. But the mother had guessed, there must be a relationship with cross-string their kinship relationship that is complicated.
Finally, she asked the MC to continue the show immediately. Until the event is completed smoothly without any significant interruption.
Meanwhile, Barata, Palupi, Tommy and Sasi are now sitting in a chair next to their mother.
The show's over. Guests have also left Sasi's house. Only the nuclear family remains . Baskara, Retno and Emil joined in.
They sit around the biggest table while occasionally eating the dishes available at the table.
" You guys, just whining in front. How to? Seen by the pantes! " Mommy grumbled. Staring at Barata, Palupi, Tommy and Sasi alternately. While the others are even grinning.
".Sasi's mom is lo Bu. It is a nglamak ghost (brazen, impolite). Time does not want to kiss the hand of the mother-in-law, even I was told to call her hand.edan opo? What do people say try mom?" Palupi also grumbled but there was a funny and joking tone in her words.
" You are the one who is carded. Ask for silence (worship, respect). It was you who bathed me.." Sasi won't lose.
Now the mother and her three daughters, daughter-in-law and son-in-law were even laughing together.
" I'm sorry, barata. His coat is impolite." mom stared awkwardly at Barata.
But Barata chuckles. " It's okay mom. Just smile . But if I could I want to be called papa Sasi, just like Tommy called me.. Let me feel like I already have a daughter-in-law. Hehe..." Barata answered casually
" Yes sir.I would like to call papa, but sorry I can not call Lupi mama.." Sasi immediately answered her prospective in-laws while grunting angrily towards Lupi.
" Lah...who also wants to have a rich daughter-in-law you mbak? Wes nglamak, ora iso (cannot) cook. Tommy, how would he want to be like him?" rutuk Palupi's.
Tommy finally laughed at Palupi's question. " Can't cook? Ah that's easy, lots of stalls and restaurants online. Stay message. Later learn yes dear.pelan-pelan aja.." Tommy gently rubbed Sasi's hand.
Sasi nodded and smiled while looking at the friendly Tommy .
" Ck..the OTW mated.bucin.bucin.
" Iri said boss! "Tommy mocked Baskara..
Back boisterous laughter echoed in the pendopo of Sasi's house.
" Oh yes.mumpung still gather all, all mothers want to convey to all of you, the marriage of Tommy and Sasi, according to the agreement of the family and the elders of both parties, will be carried out a month from now. So remember the mother and be alone. Please help all of you?"
" Ready mom. Baskara is ready to help. If necessary I just stay here. So if you need a mommy, just say it." Baskara immediately replied.
" Wah..Baskara is the best mother. Thanks to Bas.." Mother patted the young man's field shoulder.
Baskara cengar-cengar happy to be praised by mother . But Tommy glared in annoyance.
" No.not living here. You're gonna take care of me." Prevent Tommy.
" Yes Bas.no need for that. Everyone wants to help mom. I don't worry" Barata opened his voice. Welcomed nods agree with all present. Except Baskara who immediately pouted.
Mom smiled and grabbed Baskara's shoulder while whispering something into the young man's ear.
" Benerease mom?" ask Baskara cheerfully. He answered mother's nod. I don't know what Mom and Baskara were talking about.
Tommy who saw the familiarity of mother and Baskara clicked annoyed.
" This is who the hell is..!" gerutu to Sasi. Makes the girl laugh.
" It's usually jealous of itself!"
" He always wants people's attention. Wonder me" Tommy's still upset.
" It is his character that is so. Conqueror woman. That's why so many girls are baper. I'm just straight sticky rich with my own son, you know..."
" You're not baper with him, are you? Watch it!" Tommy looked at Sasi.
Sasi Laughs." Yeah no. You are the one and only Sasi. Believe me" Sasi whispered in Tommy's ear, making a smile at the man's lips. His face even blushed happily hearing the seduction of the lover of the heart.
" Hadooooh.candid manten (bride) whispers teruuss..." Baskara came back nosy seeing her brother blushing to whisper to each other with Sasi.
And the atmosphere is increasingly familiar punctuated by laughter and small talk of two families. Until the night was late and one by one began to retreat to his mother.
Retno and Emil are the first to remember they brought two young babies. Barata, Palupi and Baskara.
When Tommy was coming home with his family, his mother prevented him.
" Tommy don't go home yet. I have something to talk about"
" Good ma'am" Tommy nodded and returned to his seat after driving his family forward.
" We just move inside. Let EOnya freely clean" invite mother while walking into the house followed by Sasi and Tommy.
They were sitting in the living room that had returned quiet after these two days crowded by the presence of Sasi's brother.
" Tommy and Sasi, you may not believe in the myths or customs of the ancients. Especially now, internet age? All can be accessed via mobile phones and laptops. But as parents, you want to respect our ancestral customs. You guys can?" ask mother.
" Can mom!" answer Tommy and Sasi at the same time.
" So before marriage, the mother asked Tommy to be willing to perform a ritual for the groom-to-be. I'm going to introduce Tommy to our family's spiritual teacher. He will teach Tommy about kawruh kejawen. Knowledge of Javanese culture that will be very useful for Tommy and your family later."
" This is because according to Javanese custom, Sasi is a special woman. Wh why? Later Tommy will get the answer after following kawruh kejawen which I mean . Tommy was in our view, also including men who have an extraordinary aura. This too Tommy can ask later on in time. Hows it? Tommy ready?"
Tommy looked at me deeply. There was a fear that suddenly appeared hearing the mother's explanation. His mind felt that there was an invisible force that made him shiver when he heard the words of mother. His strong instincts caught something that mother had hidden strangely behind his words.
" Should ya ma'am? How do I feel bad about this? I've never studied or found out things like this ma'am." Tommy lowered.
" It has to be Tom. Sorry to be a little pushy. But I hope Tommy is willing to undergo. It's all for the good of your family. Don'tdon't worry. It's not as scary as you think. Later when you meet our spiritual teacher, I am sure you will not be gamang anymore. Yes Tom? " mother asked again. Soft but sounding urgent.
" All right, Mom. I'll try to follow. But if I'm uncomfortable, can you stop?" Ask Tommy.
" Yes Tom. Mom understands. You guys must be anti things like this. Ye know? Sasi is instantly nauseous if the mother has spoken out of reason and smells supernatural. I know the times have changed. But it turns out there are things that cannot be solved by reason alone. That's what Tommy's going to learn later" Mother explained.
" But not a weird one, is it mom?" ask Tommy again
" Weird how the hell.hahaha.kamu this must have been a frequent look at Indonesian horror films. There's no such thing. Do first. Follow the words of mother. Don't think mostly about the nonchalant. Okay well? " Mom patted Tommy's back.
" All right, ma'am. For Sasi..." Tommy glanced at his heart. Sasi smiled sweetly. Duuhh.anything for you dear.inner Tommy.
" Thankfully. I'm happy that the mother's son thinks this way. The dream daughter-in-law" mother praised Tommy for encouraging the young man who still seemed hesitant.
Tommy smiles shyly to get compliments from prospective in-laws.
" From tomorrow after work, you go with me. I'll take you to your teacher's place.
" Sasi isn't ma'am?" ask Sasi.
" No need. You'll be behind Tommy. So a good wife. Come and obey your husband."
Tommy and Sasi looked at each other and smiled.
The Mbah Ageng house...
The old man sat down on his big chair. His lips are smiling. In front of him was the smiling faces of Tommy and Sasi.
Tonight seems calm. There was no sign of the blue-eyed young man coming towards Sasi. Maybe he was gathering strength after being expelled yesterday. Or wait for time to surprise?
Mbah Ageng again focused on healing his internal wounds.. Although not severe, but a momentary fight with the astral creature was quite draining his old energy.
But at this time Mbah Ageng quite calm, because it seems that Sasi's mother managed to persuade Tommy to want to learn the science of self-protection that is very necessary.
