Foto niki inggih menika potret keluwargi enggalipun kula. Setunggaling keluwargi ingkang dikepalai dening setunggaling embah kakung naminipun Mbah Tarman. Mbah Tarman hobinipun ngriwat taneman ingkang wonten ing taman. Dados, saged dipunbayangaken sanes kepripun kebak welas asihipun piyambakipun ing sedaya makhluk urip?

Kejawi taneman, Mbah Tarman ugi sayang sanget ing kita. Nggih, kita, 10 mahasiswa ingkang didhawuhi kampus kagem nindakaken pengabdian masyarakat (KKN) wonten dhusun alit papan Mbah Tarman kantun. Kita kantun sawentawis 45 dinten wonten dalemipun ingkang nyaman sanget lan kathah kolam toya kagunganipun Mbah Tarman. Matur nuwun Mbah Tarman, kita dados saged nglangi sepuasipun!

Dinten setunggal kita dugi wonten dhusun kasebat, Mbah Tarman mundhut priksa nami lan asal kita setunggal mboko setunggal.

"Kula Rara saking Solo, mbah.", kula miwiti.

Sasampunipun sedayanipun tetepangan, kula emut leres Mbah Tarman manthuk-manthuk kaping pinten-pinten kadosipun sampun apal kaliyan namaning kita sedaya. Dinten-dinten salajengipun kita tansah gineman kalih Mbah Tarman. Saking gineman ngengingi langkung rumiyin tigan utawi ayam ingkang dipundamel wonten bumi dumugi wedharan budaya patriarki lan paham kapitalisme.

Nanging, wonten setunggal ingkang tansah ngganjel wonten panggalihipun kita sedasa saben gineman kalih Mbah Tarman. Piyambakipun tansah ginaaken "mbak" lan "mas" dipun tambah ‘asal kutha’ kita piyambak-piyambak wekdal aruh-aruh utawi badhe tanglet setunggaling bab ing kita. Kirang langkung paginemanipun kados puniki:

This photo is a portrait of my new family. A family headed by a grandfather named Tarman Grandpa. Tarman Grandpa’s hobby is taking care plants in his garden. So, you can imagine how lovely and compassionate he is for all living things?

Besides plants, Tarman Grandpa also love us. Yes, we, 10 students which were assigned by the campus to conduct community service (KKN) in the small village where Tarman Grandpa lived. We stayed for about 45 days in a very comfortable house and there was a big pool at Tarman Grandpa's house. Thank you, Grandpa, we can swim to our heart's content!

The first day we arrived at the village, Tarman Grandpa asked our names and origins one by one.

"I am Rara from Solo, Grandpa.", I started.

After everyone got acquainted, I remembered Tarman Grandpa nodding several times as if he had memorized all of our names.

The following days we eternally had chit-chat with Tarman Grandpa. From the conversation about eggs or chickens that were created first in the earth to the discussion of patriarchal culture and capitalism.

But, there was one that always disturbed the minds of us in every conversation with Tarman Grandpa. He always used the words "mbak" and "mas" plus our ‘origin city’ when he wanted to say hello or ask us something. The conversation is more or less like this:

(A: Tarman Grandpa & B, C, D: one of us)

#1 A: Mbak Solo, please go in careful to the urban village office! B: Sure, Grandpa.

#2 A: Mas Ciamis, isn't your house near Pangandaran? C: Yes, of course, Grandpa. My house is near the sea. A: You are suitable for working in water.

#3 A: Mbak Cepu, have you taken a bath? D: Bathing is number 7, Grandpa. A: Ha? What do you mean? D: 1-5 Pancasila, 6 make up, and 7 for bathing. A: …………………………………………
