Elfa could only shake her head when Juan Mahardika bought necklaces and accessories from typical Borneo beads in large quantities. As if the new father-to-be was hungry for eyes, all the beautiful ones were chosen and bought. That's just one store visited has spent a fortune.
"Darling, I'm pretty all, right?"
"Yes but still beautiful El."
"That's for sure, number one remains Akak's wife."
Move on the original batik t-shirt Balipapan with the inscription I love you BPP. Juan Mahardika bought more than ten dozen. With different colors and different sizes.
"Son.why are so many bought?"
"All pretty and nice, honey. I'm confused to choose it, I'd better buy it all."
"Who are all those gifts for?"
"Many people want to, honey. Relax, it'll be a struggle."
Juan Mahardika is still looking for souvenirs typical of Borneo. See there is a typical sarong Samarinda with a variety of motifs. Yesterday when in Samarinda did not have time to look for souvenirs there, so immediately buy a typical holster more than the number of shirts.
"O Allah Akak, this is going to buy souvenirs or want to be a sarong trader?"
Juan Mahardika just smiled while continuing to choose the desired color of the sheath. Already more than half of the stock belongs to the chosen trader. However, the hand has not stopped choosing the preferred one.
"Who's that much sheath for, Akak?"
"For Pakde Sarto and his family in Ngawi."
"That's not enough for the family, but enough for the whole village, Akak."
"That good idea. One village how many men wear sarongs?"
"Mene ketehe," replied Elfa annoyed.
Elfa does not choose what to buy. All have been represented by a husband who is like a mother who is shopping. Everything you see wants to be bought, but you don't know who it is for.
The driver who escorted Juan Mahardika and Elfa who was astonished saw the change of his great master now. It used to be always jutek, fierce and grumpy and firm. Always be caught if there is a little mistake. Now it was like seeing his master turn a hundred and eighty degrees.
The driver must ask for help from the store clerk to transport all the groceries that have been driven by his master. After being paid the pay off must be immediately taken to the car for fear of being overwhelmed by transportation if delayed. In fact, one store helped more than three people to finish quickly.
Juan Maharika was even more stunned when he entered one of the shops in the middle of the market. A very well-equipped gemstone shop. Usually the gemstone for the rings worn by adult men is often called agate.
There are five indigenous agate stones of Borneo that are very popular among agate collectors. Coral sheath, sea blue sheath, ametic sheath, semipetical sheath and red borneo. Color and dazzling light blinds the eyes of agate lovers, very hypnotic to buy even though the price is exorbitant.
Of the five types, one of which is of concern to Juan Mahardika. Red borneo stone that looks exotic at exorbitant prices. Red borneo is the most popular and frequently hunted by collectors around the world.
This phenomenal stone is original from Mandi Angin area, Karang Intan District, Banjar Regency, South Kalimantan has a variety of colors. The most popular is the color red so it is nicknamed Ruby Kalimantan.
The Red Rock of Borneo is very popular and suddenly soared to beat the prestige of the Bacan stone from North Maluku. Agate that is rising leaves always make agate enthusiasts flock to hunt because it has the best quality among other agate stones. Although there are a variety of colors, but the more red Borneo stone, the more expensive the color will be.
"How many are like this, sir?" ask Juan Mahardika.
"There are four, sir. The most expensive one is because it is smooth and there are almost no spots in it," replied the clerk of the store showing red borneo agate which is very beautiful in color.
Juan's eyes immediately sparkled to see the agate that was still in its original form had not become a ring. The red color with a charming sparkle makes it instantly stunned anyone who sees.
"Honey, please choose Akak, Papi, Abang Al and Daddy Hans dong!"
Elfa widened her eyes in shock, the husband planned to buy agate for the men in the family, "Akak want to buy a lot of agate too?"
"Yes dong, honey. Opa and Pakde Sarto also bought."
"Terasuh I'm not it." Finally Elfa resigned and did not want to forbid a hungry husband to shop. Consider it a cravings to spend his money that will not run out seven derivatives and seven climbs like the Balikpapan area.
Elfa grew increasingly confused, never seeing her beloved husband interested in the antiques. He knew he always liked sexy women and free life. Now very interested in beads and agate.
Elfa remembered Mami Mitha when she saw her old idol comedian in Ngawi. A man who has agate rings on five fingers of the right and left hand, but whose behavior is gurgling. Mami can laugh out loud if she sees the idol act on stage.
Elfa laughed to herself imagining her beloved husband wearing the agate on her ten fingers. Not just like the old-time comedians anymore. It would be like a woman who likes to hang out on the side of the road at midnight.
Elfa grew even more stupefied when she just imagined it. However, if it is told it is impossible for the husband to know who the comedian artist of the past. If it is shown, it will understand and maybe laugh.
"Why is El laughing so?"
"El again imagined Akak like Mami's idol."
"Who's Mami's idol?"
"El doesn't know his name, El briefly searched on social media."
Elfa typed the name of an ancient comedian who often used agate on his ten fingers. She was very famous at that time and became an idol of mothers from socialites to mothers of masters. Elfa knows because Mami Mitha used to see on social media when she was relaxed.
It was easy for the old idol to appear with the name Tesi. Skinny and cungkring men look gemulai. Wear agate on all right and left fingers plus wear sexy clothes.
"Let's see, El was imagining Akak wearing agate like him!"
"Amit-amit baby!"
"Ha ha ha!"
