The sun had set and the sky was getting dark. Aya is seen walking out of the house alone, then stepping her tiny legs towards the ground right next to the Asha family home.
The land where his house stood first, before the plagues that struck him.
Aya stood there looking at the condition of the house that had wanted to be rebuilt by the villagers but because of the lack of cost made the building stalled until now.
The house is still half-finished, and now the building of the house has been grown by shrubs around it.
With a heart of grief Aya stared at the building of the house, without her noticing there was someone who was also standing behind her. He is Angga.
"Ngapain anyway...?
With a slight whisper in Aya's ear, Angga who was already beside Aya said that.
Aya who did not realize there was a person there immediately chuckled in shock, reflexively turning around to make him lose his balance and....
Angga who stood behind him quickly grabbed Aya's body carrying her into his arms so that Aya had wanted to fall could be saved, but because being in the body of Angga immediately made the two people both speechless.
For a while Aya was in the arms of Angga quietly fixated, and when Aya really realized quickly Aya also pulled her body away from the arms of Angga, Angga, and Angga also quickly loosened the hold of his hand on Aya's body so easily Aya released herself.
"I'm sorry, I didn't intentionally.
Shamefully Aya immediately turned her body and turned her back to Angga.
"How could I hurt him, where my heart can not be compromised gini again, why beat like this, surely he felt it. (said Aya heart).
Aya rubbed her face rough, to eliminate the thoughts that crossed her mind. Aya took a deep breath and then breathed out continuously.
A few moments later, Aya felt calmer and her heartbeat returned to normal as usual.
The two were silent for a while, Angga saw both his hands on his chest staring forward observing the building of the house before him at this moment.
"Whose house is this...?
The question came out of Angga's mouth, without turning to the person he asked, to just melt the silent atmosphere.
Aya turned to Angga for a moment and turned her gaze back to the front, taking a deep breath to prepare herself before answering Angga's question just now.
"This is the home of my father and mother.
Since Aya stopped her speech, closed her eyes and then took a breath and exhaled continuously, so that her heart would remain calm.
"Then, my father and mother lived here, but the building of the house was not like this, this building was made after several calamities that occurred, but the building of the house was not like this, the calamities that razed our homes included taking the lives of my two loved ones.
Tears that had been held by Aya had finally fallen down her cheeks. But quickly Aya wiped away her tears. Because Aya did not want Angga to see her weak side.
He was silent as if he had no power to say anything more.
Angga glanced towards Aya who was standing in front of her, then refocused looking forward. Angga seemed to be aware of what was happening to Aya at the moment yet he pretended not to be aware of it all.
Angga said as he took one step forward, he seemed to align his establishment with Aya, but Angga did not turn his head in the slightest to Aya he just looked straight ahead like someone who was watching the building of the house carefully even though it was getting dark.
Aya turned her head for a moment to Angga who was already beside her.
"Because there is a problem, so the building of this house can not be completed. Actually Om as the head of the village has tried to help so that the building of this house can be completed mas, but in the end we find a dead end so that the building of this house cannot be completed.
Aya explained with tears streaming down while looking ahead.
"Oh so, but if I may know what the obstacles are...? Is it because of the cost...?
"Not a car, it's a land-ownership issue.
"What do you mean...?
Angga quickly turned to Aya, he looked at Aya. Angga looked shocked by what he heard.
"Well, when mom and dad bought this land, they just bought it to the guy who said he owned this land. Yes the name of an uneducated village person so when the person said that this land does not have letters so the father and mother just believe. And long story short father and mother also build a house here, from my birth we have lived here without any problems. In the past, father and mother have been offered by om to take care of these land letters but father rejected it because the father believes that even without the letters it does not matter, and this land belongs to us. But after my father and mother died and the villagers rebuilt their houses here came a man to meet me and the village chief, om, the man claimed that he owned this land and he said that he and other members of his family never sold this land to anyone. And to corroborate the statement he brought an official land letter and it was checked the same om. Because I do not want to fuss or there are other things so I prefer to give up, and ask om and villagers to stop the construction of this house. Not long after that, I went to town.
"Why don't you fight for it anyway, do you know that your father bought this land. You should have defended it.
"How can I defend it, I do not have the slightest evidence that this land belongs to my parents, besides I also do not know whose father and mother bought this land, who, and who, neither do the other people know. That's why I prefer to give up.
"But why did that person just come to admit that this land belongs to him after your father and mother are no longer there, why not from the past...? you have lived here for years...!
"I don't know, I also asked that person, but he just said that he and his family had just returned to this village again, he said he and his family have lived in the region for years.
"It's a problem we don't have to talk about this anymore, it's over and I've been sincere. Let's get out of here, it's getting darker. (so Aya looked at Angga)
Without hearing the approval of Angga Aya also immediately turned around and walked away from Angga just like that.
Angga frowned because he saw Aya leave just like that, then not long ago Angga turned around and stepped to leave from there too. With his long legs finally Angga can catch up with Aya and currently the two walk side by side to the house of his parents Asha.
