Tonight is Nazar's night of thanksgiving Mr. Harjo and his family. All the preparations for tomorrow's event have been completed, only a few that can not be done all day like cooking rice and some other dishes.
If done all day this could be tomorrow will be stale or no longer taste good if the cuisine has been staying even though only overnight. It is a shame that the food is wasted because it is not eaten.
By considering the time between cooking to the completion of cooking with the start of the Nazar Thanksgiving event, the cook mothers will start it at 4 am.
On the left side of the housePak Harjo, there are 10 furnaces ready to make a variety of dishes.10 stoves with firewood lined under the walls of the yard with a tarp roof.
While in the front yard was ready to accommodate all Palu Wesi villagers who will attend the Nazar Symbahan event. Even Mr. Harjo prepared a yard that is opposite his front house also to guard maybe not all can occupy the yard of Pak Harjo's house.
Tonight many residents around the house of Pak Harjo who came to just melekan. Melekan is a ceremonial event that has become a tradition in the village when one of its citizens wants to hold a celebration. Usually, residents who do this just disperse when before dawn.
Mr. Harjo, Hasan, Hariri also appeared to gather with residents who were talking on the front porch chair. It also appears that there is a village head accompanied by several pamongnya and Mr. Diman.
"If kak Hasan when the plan is in the guarantee, hehehehe.." asked the village chief named Purnama slightly teased Hasan.
Mr. Harjo just smiled a little hearing Mr. Purnama's question. In his mind feel grateful for feeling already represented the same question Mr. Purnama.
Mr. Harjo himself actually wanted to ask that a long time ago to Hasan, but did not feel the heart to ask him directly so he was quiet.
"Hehehe... God willing, if you have met his soul mate, surely immediately Mr. Pur," replied Hasan blushed embarrassedly.
"Not yet to meet or hasan son is indeed picky?" ask Mr. Purnama again.
"Ah, I am not such a person Mr. Pur, I am not picky. Widows have children even if my heart matches why not, hehehe.." replied Hasan.
"Be careful with what you say, son of Hasan. It could be the reality of your soul mate as a widow, hahahaha." said Pak Purnama laughed.
Mr. Harjo, Hariri and others also laughed at the passing of Mr. Purnama. Hasan smiled wryly but his heart did not reject what he had said, if indeed his soul mate like that he would accept it sincerely.
"Mas Hasan how about being betrothed to his son bu Nengsih only?" chirp Mr. Bekel who sits beside Mr. Purnama.
"Well, I agree with Hasan. Mm, what's his name sir? Si... Si.." said Mr. Purnama.
"His name is Susanti sir" Sergah mr. Bekel.
"Yes, yes it's just Susanti, it looks like her son is good," said Mr. Purnama.
"But I know he's close to Burhan, sir," said Trisno, a village pamong whose age is not much different from Hasan.
"Everything about it anyway, while the yellow janur has not curved in front of his house, go ahead and want Hasan," said Mr. Purnama.
"Isn't that Mr Harjo?" continue Mr. Purnama asking for support from Mr. Harjo.
"If I am the father, I give up completely the problem of my children's wives, Mr. Pur. I do not want to interfere let alone force for Hasan to get married quickly, hehehehe.." replied Mr. Harjo.
Hearing the expression of his father, Hasan looks only mangosteen while smiling to listen to a small dimming against the girl mentioned by mr. Bekel.
Meanwhile Hariri immediately frowned, Hariri immediately remembered his request made by his brother. Though he only knew clearly that his brother did not have a close friend of the woman, especially the future wife.
Hasan was immediately shocked by his sister's words, he just remembered the promise he had made to his sister. To this day, he is not close to any woman.
For Hasan, he had actually thought about a soul mate. According to him the soul mate encounter itself refers to the belief that each individual has been destined to meet their life partner in this life.
Hasan strongly believes that the meeting of a soul mate is an inevitable destiny, and Hasan himself greatly appreciates the statement of his father who does not interfere in the problems of his soul mate especially to match him.
Fortunately for Hasan, his parents did not require his future wife according to the wishes his parents outlined.
"If I do not apply rules like the story of Siti Nurnaya and Datuk marchinggih Pak Pur, hehehe... Let the children themselves find their soul mate later, because those who will live their home life are not their parents" explained Mr. Harjo.
Mr. Purnama and others were listening to Mr. Harjo's confession about Hasan's soul mate.
"Perhaps in the past, there are still many parents who choose a mate for their children. The reason is that because parents have the experience to find the right partner for their children. Especially will see from Bebet, the weight of the alias from the descent and the level of the family's economy," continued Pak Harjo.
For Hasan himself has his own thoughts that the meeting of his soul mate is the full destiny outlined by the Gusti of God is not the result of decisions and choices made by himself.
"Maybe because I avoid very girlfriend-dating Mr. Pur, so until now still menjoblo only. Because I'm afraid I'm going to be a mess for myself. Yes if it can only be with ta' aruf once and then immediately get married, hehehehe.." said Hasan.
Mr. Purnama himself was amazed by the principles held by Hasan. In this day and age it is very rare for a young man of Hasan's age to want ta' aruf, young people now only know dating.
"Sir Diman, do not be late to pick up the family Mahmudnya yes," said Mr. Harjo diverted the conversation that began to be boring talking about his soul mate Hasan.
"Yes Mr. Harjo, after I thought about going to pick him up after dawn prayers sir. I'm afraid I'm stuck in traffic" replied Mr. Diman.
"Mahmud family? As far as I know you don't have a brother named Mahmud, who are they?" hasan said in his heart while looking at his father, his gaze implying a question.
"Yes, then set the time the same Mr. Diman, but hearts in the way later" said Mr. Harjo.
"O yes Mr Bekel so come with Mr Diman tomorrow?" continued Mr. Harjo turned to Mr. Bekel.
"Follow Mr. Diman? Where's Mr Harjo?" ask Mr. Purnama.
"That's going to pick up the family in Sukadami village" replied Mr. Harjo.
"Well, no! No need to come again, Mr. Bekel. You have been assigned here to help organize the citizens who come, how the hell?" sulk pak Purnama.
"Hehehehe.. Yes sir. That's the time yesterdaybsaya said he wanted to come, if the task that Mr. Pur loved was just this afternoon," said Mr. Bekel.
"Then excuse me for saying goodbye, Mr. Harjo, it's late. Let my pamong only do it here," said Mr. Purnama.
"Oh njih, njik Pak Pur. Matur suwun has helped this event," said Pak Harjo.
The head of Palu Wesi Village immediately rose from his seat and shook hands one by one before leaving the house of Pak Harjo.
