BEFORE READING CHAPTER 5, READ CHAPTER 4 AGAIN BECAUSE THERE IS A SECTION ADDED.
The father of Dinda, whom Erekleus did not want to know his name, was so shocked as if hearing the destruction of the world. "Wife? You're married, Young Master?"
Erekleus pretended to be confused. "Do I look childish until I'm hard to believe? I got married at seventeen. That's the mandatory age of marriage for Narendra. My second wife will be groomed next year, I guess."
Not only will he have a wife but he will even have a second wife? As soon as their cute face of shock in Erekleus' eyes. It seems that even after two hundred years, the remote people do not recognize Narendra in the least.
Erechleus moved because Dinda did not hold his hand.
"I want to join the meal, but I still have a lot of business. Excuse me for today, guys."
Followed by his bodyguard who had returned, Erekleus walked away from the mansion.
"He's the richest man in the village?" erekleus asked his bodyguard.
"Yes, Young Master."
"The standard of wealth of this place is even very low. Immediately ask my sister to develop a strategy for the economic development of the village. I want the richest man in this place to have at least a hundred cows instead of a dirty little two-story house."
"Understand me, Young Master."
Erekleus still did not stop, going to meet all the bodyguards and his men in the Regional Chief's office. All the reports they brought made Erekleus' head want to break. There are so many defects that cannot be left but unfortunately they should not be rushed because this is not a stacking puzzle.
Day turned night, Erekleus was still busy struggling with all the work. Erekleus and his team did not even eat to formulate all the problems, until then the door of the room was knocked.
"Excuse me." Mute's head peered out from the small sidelines of the door. "I'm going back in your coat, Young Master."
Mute thought that Erekleus was not staying at his house because he finally realized the house of Mr. Surya and Bu Bunga, aka his house Dinda at least is the most comfortable house. So as a form of thanks for also letting the water go, yes Mute went to deliver.
"Young Master, it's good to rest now." Erina immediately suggested. "If you're too tired, tomorrow you'll have a hard time doing the rest of your work."
Erekleus sighed. "I forgot the time. Yeah, course. Go get some rest, all of you."
"We're staying where you're staying, Young Master."
"Mutia's house is too small for all of you. Go and rest where you're supposed to."
Although Erekleus spoke, his five bodyguards and four secretaries built tents in front of Mute's house.
Of course Mute was in shock, but everyone looked so tired that he couldn't say anything. Erekleus entered the small residence, about to sleep as he realized .. There was no room for him either.
"Where am I sleeping, miss?" he asked in an almost lowbatt voice.
Mute grimaced hesitantly pointing at the floor. "Here?"
He thought he would be shocked, but Erekleus immediately lay on the floor, covering his face with his arms.
Mute went in to get a pillow and a blanket so that at least he did not have back pain or colds, but Erekleus apparently had a deep sleep, not moving at all.
"Oiiii," called Mute softly, barely whispering, but long. "Young Master. Oiiiii~ use pillow first."
He's like a statue.
"It will be cold that I take no responsibility. The wind is not my fault either."
Really not moving.
"I'm taro here, yeah. Don't forget the dipake."

Mute could not sleep thinking Erekleus was sleeping in the front of his room. There are only two rooms in this narrow house, namely the room and the room of Grandma Iyem who can not get out of bed because of age. He was 108 years old and had only bones left in his wrinkled skin.
In the end the real Mute could not sleep, until then he came out when the chicken crowed.
Erekleus was still sleeping. The blanket that Mute gave was not worn, not shifted from its place even.
Mute planned to go into the kitchen to prepare grandma's morning meal, but the man was instantly awake.
"Urghs." He groaned as he got up from his position.
Erekleus stretched his body. "Just not used to it. Don't mind me" he said and walked out.
Mute quietly peeked, seeing the man go to his comrades' tent to wake them all up.
"What time is this?" ask him, who sounded from between the wooden walls.
"Aheading seven, Young Master."
"You should wake up at four and wake me up. But yeah, I'm tired too so I understand. Now get ready and get back to work."
"Okay, Young Master."
He seems to have come here to work. From yesterday he did not complain about anything.
Mute was about to turn around to the kitchen but her ears heard something else.
"You haven't eaten anything since yesterday. Mrs Roxanne will worry about you."
"I forgot" said Erekleus cuek. "Then one of you go and buy some fruit. We'll have breakfast before work."
Mute sighed. Although yesterday he said he did not want to serve, when he let the village guests starve all day because of working for the village?
Yeah, they're not as thick as KKN kids so it shouldn't be a problem.
"Young Master." Mute opened the door, calling out to him before he left. "Eat here. There's rice with eggs in the dalem."
Erekleus was surprised that the girl who said yesterday that she would not pay attention to him offered him food. But ....
"I don't eat rice, Miss, what a pity." Erekleus smiled. "But can I buy your rice and eggs for my men?"
Mute was surprised to see that there were living humans not eating rice. If he doesn't eat rice, what does he eat? Gold and diamonds?
Pantesan is handsome, thought Mute horrified.
"Keep what? Doang's fruit?"
"I don't eat rice, greasy food, coconut milk, sugar, flour, and a few other things. Don't take care of my food because it's Yohana's job."
In the end, Mute cooked rice and fried eggs for his men only. While everyone was eating, Erekleus just downed the water from the bottle until finally a pickup truck stopped in front of Mute's house.
The village children gathered with the citizens who were still curious about Erekleus.
The man took some apples, a banana, and a watermelon to give Mute.
"For you. But the banana is mine so don't eat it."
Erekleus bit an apple as he told his bodyguards to go to hand out the fruit to each of the residents' homes.
There was something on Mute's chest that was grilled when he saw Erekleus smiling surrounded by small children. For God's sake, Mute thinks he's coming to this village just for imaging and then troubling others for his own comfort.
But from yesterday until now, he had always been concerned about others.
"Excuse me, Mutia." Erina resuscitated him from the daydream. "Can you please accompany Young Master to the well? He has to take a shower."
"There's water in the dalem, brother, if you want to take a bath."
"I'm sorry if this offends but we don't let Young Master bathe from the water that's been overnight in the puddle. If it can be a well, please?"
Yes, he is still the Young Master who does not eat rice and does not bathe in mossy water. Alright.
Mute nodded, saying goodbye to his grandmother to go briefly to escort the Young Master.
