Young Single Mom's
Napat.
I cried not because I was heartbroken at Aryo, but sad to remember my son. An innocent child who happens on the basis of love must be rejected by his own father. Even at the age of 4 months and still in the stomach he was not accepted. How sad this child is. Even I was luckier when I was his age, but why did I make my son unlucky like me ?. How can any man resist his own flesh and be so selfish as to think of his own career and happiness? Even if I look again, animals still have affection for their flesh and blood. But this man ? Is he really not human ? I don't know, obviously I'll make my son happy no matter what. Being big without a father doesn't mean he can't be a happy son. At least I should educate him to be a brave and not cowardly child like his father.

A few months passed, only to spend it at home. My stomach is getting bigger and bigger, making my movements limited not to invite the attention of neighbors. If I'm the only one who gets a curse from a neighbor, it doesn't matter, but if my parents hear the spicy babble, I can't let it go.
"Sir, ma'am if for example for a while Ara lived outside the city first how ?." I ventured to ask my parents for an opinion at dinner together.
"Why ? big belly is so going where ra?." Mom's face looks confused.
"Ara does not want to aggravate the situation of our family buk, Ara already fuss with mother and father."
"Nobody can fight against God's destiny, son, don't be too late in grief. Have to face the future." Mom rubbed my shoulder slowly.
"Ara does not want you to be equally touched by the neighbor's spicy talk. Please allow Ara ya."
"Are you sure, son ? Where are you thinking ?."
"Ara wants him out of Central Java sir."
"You want to go to East Java ? Later let me credit the housing for your residence there. In this condition the same father mother can not understand your will. As much as possible we support and help you son, which is important you encourage to take care of your child."
"Yes Ara wants to sir, let Ara pay the credit."
"Yes, I'll pay for it together. If you want to be there, you will be the same father as me deket nengoknya."
"Mother must also often - often nemenin you really. Tomorrow, if you're also the mother who lives there."
"Sir, thank you very much. Ara doesn't know what to answer you. hiks hyks." Touched for sure, my cry actually represents the heart.
"We don't ask for anything back from you, son. We're just asking you to be upbeat and don't forget to pray for us."
I was so relieved to hear the approval and support from both my parents. For a time like this, it must maintain a state that has been runyam so as not to increase more runyam.

In less than a month you finally get one unit of the house that will be on credit and can be occupied immediately. Not too much stuff that I brought, just a few important ones that filled the car. Father and mother drove me to move, they also prepared the contents of the house to be occupied. Although the house is not large, but it is quite comfortable for the place where my son and I will live because the building is still new. There are only 2 bedrooms, 1 living room, kitchen and bathroom only. The environment is no less comfortable with his home, close to large stores that are easily accessible.
"You sure you can alone Ra ? I'm looking for a housekeeper to help - help."
"Don't ma'am, help - help what? I just live alone, don't bother at all."
"Yes mom, don't worry. Ara can do it." I hugged my mother tightly while smiling. I am so happy and so lucky to have them as my parents.
After an overnight stay, this morning they decided to return home.
"Our son goes home first yes, you be careful anyway ! if there's anything call mom."
"We'll try to come here often, son."
"Yes ma'am, my mom, my heart is on the road." They waved their hands and drove forward, I was still standing looking at the passing of my parents until the car was invisible from the sight of my eyes.
I feel more comfortable here because it is more free to move without fear of being seen by anyone. Luckily the housing is still new and the neighbors are so polite do not take care of each other's affairs too much. All the documents submitted to the Rt chairman were also on behalf of the father, so there was no question about my status. Even if someone asks me about my status, I will explain it, but as long as no one asks, I'd rather be quiet.
Mother and father come once a week, they also always fill the refrigerator for food supplies. So I don't need to bother going out to buy food, I prefer to cook myself because besides being healthy can also meet the nutrients for the baby. Gas and gallons also change every time he comes. The things they did for me really moved me. So much love and affection they gave me.
Not to forget that the mother also held a Thanksgiving Ceremony Ngupati is (Mapati) is a ceremony held at the time of pregnancy was four months old. By the time the womb is four months old (one hundred and twenty days) the spirit begins to be inserted into the body of the prospective baby. Therefore through this Ngupati ceremony begs that the spirit that enters the baby is a good spirit. Ngupati Ceremony in the form of a kenduri selamatan. The banquet is held in my house. Mother prepares all the kenduri selamatan equipment in the form of offerings, namely: megono rice tumpeng, market snack, white brother porridge, and sumpel coup. The word "ngupat" comes from the word papat (4) or kupat. There is something different from other traditional pregnant ceremonies that there is a dish of kupat on kenduri ngupati, kupat is included in the besek brought home by the invitees present, I only invite the front neighbors, I just invite the next door,the right and left side of my house because they do not know the others. Ngupat is actually a pralambang if the baby has entered the stage to papat (four) in the process of creation of menungsa. The traditional ceremony of ngupat should be held on a good day according to Javanese calculations. I myself do not really understand this tradition and just follow the direction of my mother.
Seriate.
