ADJOINING REALM
RECEPTIONS

That morning the boarding school was so crowded. All Kakung guests flocked to congratulate and pray for his favorite grandson. Darto did not know all the guests who came, but even so he was very happy because his reception was running so magnificent and crowded beyond his expectations.

After completing the agreement, Bidin and Surip immediately went home. Considering his house is not far away, they do a reception at their respective homes after their family groups come to pick up. Ki Karta and Gayatri also joined Surip, they immediately received guests at Surip's house that morning as well.

Darto and Harti were completely overwhelmed this morning, he kept standing cheering every guest that came. There were so many questions he received in a day, from people he had just met for the first time.

When the day began to darken, Darto guests still did not reduce. In the morning, afternoon and evening he received guests from kakung friends, but when night he was still visited by some Kakung students and also Darto acquaintances who came from the next nature.

Darto was very happy to see Kanti and Abirama who came that night, he even immediately took them into the house Kakung to talk with two Grandpa who also knew him. Seemed very happy when they can talk so happily, like meeting old friends who have been separated for a short time.

Besides Abirama and Kanti. Sastro, Wajana, a banana tree dweller near Darto's house, the butts head that Darto captured on the lake, even the black stone-waiting grandmother who was originally a subordinate of Gending also congratulated. They gave gifts of glittering precious stones. For the people next door, it has no value, but they know exactly if it can change the degree of human beings, if they have even a small part of it. So without thinking long they give freely, without heart and also ask for rewards.

Darto was really surprised. He did not expect the special gift they gave. Even Kakung had said that one object given by Kanti was enough to buy all the rice fields owned by Agam. Harti who had heard also immediately rounded his eyes, while continuing to look at Darto with a stunned look.

After quite a long time, finally one by one guests leave the boarding school. A crowded place like the market was gradually quiet, when the night had become late and almost touched the early morning. Darto, Harti and both grandfather and his parents looked so tired, they were lying on the green carpet in the living room owned by Kakung. They even to the point of spawning their own feet that feel sore, after a full day of serving guests who come without spaces.

After lying down for a long time, Kakung and Sewahan finally left first after saying goodbye. They rushed to their rooms, followed by Harti's parents who went to their homes. Now only Harti and Darto are left who are still lying limp in the guest room.

The atmosphere again felt awkward. Darto was very eager to go into the room and rest with his wife, but he did not even have the courage even just to invite her. Amidst the awkwardness that was happening, Si Mbah Turahmin opened the door of his room, he just popped his head out, looked at the living room for a moment, then shouted "You sleep, tomorrow there are still many guests."

The awkwardness was instantly driven away, Darto just faced Harti's nodding face, and without a single word, they walked towards the same room. Seeing his two grandchildren walking past him, Si Mbah smiled cunningly as he said "Don't be greedy, Dar. Tomorrow can still be continued, He he he he."

Hearing what Si Mbah said, Darto immediately took hold of Harti's hand, they sped up the pace while smiling. His face was bristling, such a great shame creeping across all sides within the chests of the two of them.

Not long after Darto and Harti got into their room, the awkward atmosphere again occurred. Darto and Harti both knew what was going to happen, but they did not know how to start. For quite a while the two new couples were just standing, not a single person dared to sit on the couch. They pecked while looking down and did not dare to look into the eyes of their partners with each other.

Darto really regretted what he just said. He left his wife alone in the room, and walked to the dining room and lit a cigarette that had been tucked in his finger. He doesn't smoke cigarettes that keep burning in his hands, he just daydreams and prepares his heart for what he's going to face in a moment.

"Dude!" darto shouted after smoking his cigarette. He kept daydreaming until he was unconscious that his cigarette was short, and his lips were hot when he smoked it.

Seeing the short cigarette, Darto immediately turned off the cigarette. He let out a long sigh, then stepped towards his room with a feeling that had already gradually improved. Most of his nervousness has been reduced, but when the door of his room opened Darto immediately looked down at Harti who was asleep facing the wall.

After closing Darto's door to his couch with heavy steps, he felt a little disappointed because his special night would just pass. After arriving at the cot, he saw Harti's face that had been carefully closed. Tonight was the first time Darto had seen Harti not wearing a mukena, he began stroking Harti's hair so softly, muttering softly "It's so pretty of you, Dek."

Unexpectedly, after Darto muttered softly, Harti's cheeks gradually turned red. Harti still heard Darto's remarks because he had not actually fallen asleep. He was just pretending, because he was also very nervous about what he was going to face.

Seeing Harti's cheeks bristling, Darto was instantly stunned. He immediately realized that his wife had not fallen asleep. Until finally Darto immediately mocked Harti who still maintained his charade by saying "Cie.. Beautiful sister is embarrassed."

Harti was immediately stunned, he flipped his body and opened his eyes while gently hitting Darto's arm with both hands. He was very embarrassed because his actions were known, not to mention that Darto's ridicule really added to his embarrassment to be many times.

Darto also widened to see Harti who was so embarrassed, he held Harti's arm to stop his wife's jotosan. And when Harti had calmed down, the two of them stared at each other with rows of teeth. The depressed atmosphere was silent again, before finally Darto who first did the opening by kissing Harti's lips so friendly.

That night, the sound of the creaking cots so echoed. His voice could even be heard up to Anto, Si Mbah and Kakung's room beside him.
