The day keeps changing, until it becomes a week. And the week has changed, transformed into the moon. Puput had been in Rina's place for a month. He also began to receive payment, as a wage from his work to become a servant in the shop of Rina. But at that time, after receiving payment, after Rina handed him an envelope containing salary money, Puput told Rina that she wanted to go home.
"Bu ..., I ask permission to go home to the village" Puput told Rina, when he received an envelope containing his payment.
"Why ...? Is it less?" ask Rina to Puput.
"No, Madam .... But I don't feel at home in this house .... I don't feel at home to help Mom in this food stall." so said Puput who certainly surprised Rina.
"Why not feel at home? What's up?" ask Rina.
Surely Rina wondered, what exactly happened to Puput? Lina also thought maybe what was her lack of food? What is the lack of drinking? Or what makes Puput not at home, so he wants to go home.
"Indeed why. The put? Is the food here bad? Are you not free to enjoy the food in this shop? I told you, if you want to eat anything, want anything, please take it, do not hesitate." so Rina said to Puput.
"No, Madam .... I am not eating less. I don't drink less. Everything is good, Mom. Everything I enjoy, and I am full here too" said Puput while bowing his head, of course there is fear of his female master, just in case he was scolded.
"Well, why do you want to go home?" ask Rina on Puput who certainly wants to know the reason.
"Anu ..., Ms .... Anu ..." said Puput who did not dare to continue his words.
"Anu ..., anu ..., why?!" asked Rina who was certainly confused by Puput's answer.
"I don't feel right here, Mom .... I miss the same old man in the village." so replied Puput who reasoned not to worry and kangen want to always meet his parents.
"Ah ..., that's right, Put ...?! Cook until you miss the same old man ...?! You're a big boy, you're an adult. Here you work for money .., and the money you can send to your parents in the village .... But you are looking for money to stay here .... Are there jobs in the village like this? Can you find a job there ...?! I was worried, Put .., later when you go home, you are told to go to the fields, told to go to the fields with your parents. Pity yourself, Put ..." so the actual word Rina also gives an excuse, it's better if Puput wants to work, if Puput wants to find money, it should be looking for money in a big city, just like on the outskirts of Jakarta. Or if you can, you enter all in the city of Jakarta. There the wage of labor is greater, the pay is more, and certainly not like if people work in the village, which is hard to get into the fields, but the pay is not much." it was clearly Rina who gave an idea of making money in a big city when compared to the village.
But Puput did not answer the words of Rina. He just went back down and shed tears. The stomach is crying.
"Why are you crying?" so asked Rina who saw that her maid was now actually crying. Though Rina felt no scolding, and also did not forbid if the Puput would return to the village. Rina just gave an idea that work in the village was more difficult, while in the city it was easier to find money.
The puput still did not answer. He still lowered his face, and even that cry sounded his sobs.
"Loh .., you are why. Put ...? You can go home .... I do not forbid you to go home .." said Rina who is now justri so confused to see the crying Puput.
Puput lowered his face, not daring to answer anything. Even she started to hear her crying voice getting louder. Of course, it makes Rina even more confused.
Luckily, it was suddenly Puput's brother who worked in the factory, namely Mr. Mitro, who came to the stall. Mr. Mitro had just returned from the factory, and accidentally stopped by Rina's shop. Not just to eat, but apparently there is something to be conveyed to Rina, related to Puput who wants to go home.
"Sir Mitro .., this is you know, Puput want to go home how anyway, Mr Mitro?" rina asked Mr. Mitro who had just come, and sat down near the seat where Puput was.
"Yes, Mpok Rina .... Sorry, I would like to address the issue of Puput. Puput actually likes to live in Jakarta like this, but yesterday he told me he wanted to go home. He said the same father and mother who were in the village." replied Mr. Mitro who confirmed that his nephew wanted to go home to the village as had been conveyed by Puput to Rina. The reason is only because of kangen to his parents who are in the village.
"Not so, Mr. Mitro ...? Cook this big Puput, already a big virgin, he just misses his parents, willing to leave the job he has got. Even I pay Puput not a little, Mr. Mitro .... This is quite far from enough when compared to the salary in this area. At least this has been above UMR, Mr. Mitro ..." so said Rina who explained that actually the salary of Kuput was already large.
Indeed, if the calculation of the payment of Puput who only paid three million was quite large when compared with the factory workers. Of course, Rina paid three million was already very, very much more than enough, considering that Puput only works to help in food stalls. Especially if counted others, Rina gave everything to Puput, both from eating drinks and even sleeping. So that the salary of Puput It's whole compared to the factory workers whose pay is at least four million, but to eat he has to pay himself, to sleep he has to pay the cost or rent. It was much smaller when compared to the salary of the intact Kuput, not used anything.
"Yes, Mspok Rina .... I also thank you. I am happy, Mpok Rina was giving a decent salary to Puput, and even if I say, it is a big salary when compared to working in a village that is not how much it pays. But the problem is that Puput is not at home here, Mpok Rina. This is what I am also a bit sad about, I am also concerned about. I'm sorry, Mr. Rina" said Mr. Mitro, who was also somewhat disappointed by his nephew's attitude, who asked to quit his job.
"Loh ..., what's the matter, Mr Mitro? What's the problem with the Puput here? What less am I?" so asked Rina who would not be willing if she was still considered less paid to Puput.
"That's not it, Mpok Rina .... We believe, we believe that Mpok Rina is good. But Puput once told me, he did not feel at home in this place, in his house Mpok Rina, even once he wanted to sleep in my boarding house. But I do not allow, because it is a special boarding place for men, factory employees. Lah, if Puput gets to sleep in my boarding house, can berabe me, can be gangred by people one boarding house." so said Mr. Mitro who certainly gave something input to Rina.
"What is it, Mr Mitro ...? I am even confused about this. I think there is something hidden. What's the problem with that beggar boy?" asked Rina to Puput and Mr. Mitro who was there.
Lucky that afternoon there were not many people who arrived at the stall. Of course still in the shower after coming home from the factory who felt dirty and sweaty. Let it fresh first. It is even common for people to eat after maghrib. At least one or two people who come home from work immediately stop by the stall. Hence, Mumpung deserted Mr. Mitro took the time to talk to Rina. Even in that place there was no sight of Podin, her husband Rina.
"Mpok Rina just ask Puput. I can not tell, let Puput himself speak, let Puput explain to Mpok Rina. Come on, Nduk .., you tell Mpok Rina the same story, how exactly happened here." so Mr. Mitro told Rina, and of course immediately told his nephew to tell his own employer.
"Yes, Put ..., what's going on? I want to know what you're going through. So if you come home later, I'm not confused, I don't feel guilty. Please just tell me, what really happened to you?" so said Rina who asked Puput to tell her the problem.
"Look, Mom .... I'm sorry, again please don't get scolded. Please don't hate me .... Anu, Ma'am ..." said Puput who was certainly a bit confused to convey it to Rina. There must be fear. Hence Puput instantly stopped his words.
"Anu what ...? Let's be frank, this mumpung is quiet, no one .... Only your uncle, later if there are many people who have come even you can not talk" said Rina who is increasingly curious about what is experienced by Puput.
"Yes, Mom ..., sorry .... I'm sorry, Ma'am .... It's not my intention to be impolite, it's not my intention to be impudent. But I don't dare anything, ma'am .... I was just scared .... I was just worried ..." said Puput who then he fell silent again, lowered his head and confused to convey it.
"Yes .... What was? Just be honest .... I will not be angry, really" said Rina who was again curious and forced to Puput to immediately tell what happened.
But Puput was speechless not daring to speak. He only looked at his uncle Mr. Mitro who was sitting next to him.
Surely Mr. Mitro knew what his nephew meant, of course Puput did not dare to convey what was experienced. And he did not dare to be frank with his female master, namely Rina. So Mr. Mitra also tried to speak from the heart and slowly so that Rina was not emotional. Understandably, Mr. Mitro is very mature and his faith is strong, so he can control his emotions.
"Look, Mpok Rina .... In fact, the puput was often teased by Mas Podin. I could not bear to hear the story of Puput who complained to me, because I was also worried that until this happened, it would be a commotion between Mpok Rina and Mas Podin. Therefore let Puput who relented to return to his village" said Mr. Mitro who began to be frank with Rina.
"Indeed, what's wrong with Mas Podin, Mr Mitro?" asked Rina to Mr. Mitro who mentioned the name Podin.
"Let Puput who bluntly told me what exactly happened. Put, let's talk slowly to Mpok Rina, let Mpok Rina know what really happened to you, so that Mpok Rina is not angry with you." so said Mr. Mitro who asked his nephew to speak frankly to his female employer.
"What happened to you? What's the matter, Put?" asked Rina on the curious Luput wanted to know immediately.
"Anu, Miss Rina .... Mr. Podin ...." Puput called the name Podin.
"Yes ..... Mr. Podin why?" Rina was getting curious. She was starting to worry about her husband.
"Anu .., Ms. Rina .... Mr. Podin often touched me, Ms. .." said Puput slowly, lowering his face.
"Pak Podin why ...?!" Rina immediately asked Puput loudly, of course, Lina wanted a complicated and clear story.
"If it's night, when I'm sleeping, Mr. Podin often sniffs into my room, Mom" said Puput who had begun to reveal his secret.
"That's what you're talking about ...?! Yerus why did Mr. Podin go to Puput's room ...?" naturally Rina began to emotionally hear the words of the Frog.
"Yes, Miss Rina .... Even Mr. Podin not only snuck into the room, but anu as well, Ms .... I am ashamed to say it, Ma'am .." said Puput who immediately stopped his words.
"Why, Put ...? Let's just say ..., Mas Podin what ...?! Quickly say ..., do not be afraid .... Let's just say ...!" Rina started to ride a apoplexy. Lina started to get emotional. His words began to be loud and uncontrollable.
"I'm ashamed, Mom .... I don't want to say .... I'd better just go home, ma'am .... Anyway, Miss Rina with Mr. Podin to be calm, to be comfortable. I do not want to disturb the family of Ms. Rina" said Puput who kept secret what Pudin had done to her.
"Lhoh ..., what ...? But at least tell Mom, let me understand your reasons, Puput ..." Lina forced the Soup to talk.
"Pak Podin wants to rape me, ma'am .." replied Puput, looking down.
"Mas Podin ....!!! Oh my Podin ...!!!" Lina shouted loudly calling her husband who was in the room. Spontaneous emotions instantly overflowed at the words of Puput.
"Yes, Rina .... What's up ...? Kok yelled like a possessed person." so said Podin who came out of his room, and headed to the dining room at the table that was surrounded by Rina, Puput and Mr. Mitro.
"Here, Mas Podin ...!! I want to ask .... You do anything to Puput ...?!! Come on ngaku ...!!!" rina snaps at her husband.
Podin immediately lowered his head, a sign that his fault had been found.
"No way .... I do not remember .... I just menggeciknya, whether Puput bitten by a mosquito is not .... I was just watching .." said Podin, who was lying to his wife.
"Basic male crocodile ...!!! Don't know yourself ...!!! Damn you yes, Mas ...!!!" as soon as Rina's words instantly snapped at her husband in a very loud voice. Even Rina's hand had slapped her husband's face.
"Propsy. Mpok Rina's .... Patience ...." Mr. Mitro tried to stop the hand of Rina who had slapped her husband many times.
Automatically, Rina's voice was immediately heard by many people. And that afternoon, people immediately came to Rina's stall. Unlike usual, they did not arrive to order food, but they were certainly shocked to hear the sound of Rina shouting loudly, as if something was going on in her stall. Even in the shop there was a commotion. So the people immediately gathered to the place where the four people were.
"What's up ...?!"
"Why ...?!"
"This is why ...?!"
"What's going on, who's screaming ...?!"
"There's a thief, yeah ...?!"
People are also directly asking questions. They must be curious, what exactly is going on in Rina's stall. Especially when they saw the crying Puput in the middle of the stall, people must have thought that Puput had something wrong, if Puput was accused of stealing, and then people thought Puput had something wrong, or maybe even Puput had a fatal mistake in his stall of the Rina.
"Quiet .... Don't make a fuss .... If you want to eat, just sit down first, let it be served ..." so said Mr. Mitro who would be more able to control himself. They can also control emotions. So the people who came were told to sit down to order a meal by Mr. Mitra. Even Mr. Mitro did not want to tell me what exactly happened.
Lina started to shed tears. Lina started crying. Just like with Puput who has been crying since. Surely because they could not resist the shame and fear of his disgrace being known to the crowd.
"Lah .., yes .... What's this really about? Why are the pigs crying? Why is Pok Rina screaming? What's going on?" people are still asking questions, who would want to know the actual events that happened.
"Easy .... There is nothing .... It's just a misunderstanding. Already, let's go eat the message." so said Mr. Mitro who certainly also did not want to be found out what exactly happened to his nephew.
"Lho .... Asked about not wanting to answer, not wanting to be frank .... Why are the pigs crying? What's wrong with you, Put ...?" ask the one who came closer to Puput.
"You go home ..." replied Puput who can still keep a secret. That's the good personality of Puput, even if only the village people.
"God .... I just want to go home until the village screams ..." said another person.
"Yes .., because Mpok Rina does not allow ..." said Mr. Mitro.
"Whoa .... Pok Rina is that .... Just go home for a while can't be ..." said the others.
"Thuh .... Horror it .... The puput wanted to go home, but Mpok Rina did not allow it because she did not have a maid .... Afraid of trouble .... Dah ..., tens of thousands." said the other, who knows best.
"Why stand still there like a scare, like a rung on a tulup .... Let's eat .... All dinner, mumpung Puput is still here .... There are still those who make good coffee ..." so said the others.
Finally, the people who had come to Rina's shop immediately ordered a meal. Rina while harboring a feeling of annoyance, serving the buyers. Likewise Puput, still willing to serve its customers. And the secret of Puput and the family of Rina, stay awake. And of course, it's all thanks to Mr. Mitro's policy, which of course he can protect the good names of Mpok Rina and Podin, both of whom, in order not to be polluted because of the work of Podin who has done things that are not commendable to his nephew, namely Puput.
