71. The Saoda did it


"I've been herding buffaloes, but never talking to buffaloes."


"Ah, that kid is pretty weird," he continued.


"Hey, Son!!!" the cry of Puang Dodi made Tuo immediately turn his head.


"Aren't you going home?!!"


"Wait!!!" shouted Tuo.


Puang Dodi sighed then immediately got up from her seat. He rubbed his dirty pants from his seat. He stretched his hands up while taking a deep breath feeling the incoming fresh air filling his lung cavity.


Tuo looked back at his little buffalo. He said goodbye again before he walked away.


The sound of a calf's running steps accompanied by a small bell that sounded made Tuo turn to look at his little buffalo who followed him.


"Don't come! I want to go home. Look over there!" Point Tuo towards the buffalo mother who is busy eating grass.


"Go there! That's there your mom. Don't come in here!" forbidden then back to step, however, the sound of bells was heard again making Tuo turn to look at the buffalo boy who followed him again.


"Well!!! Go there!!!" banish Tuo however, the little buffalo did not seem reluctant to leave.


Tuo sighed. He leaned back to look at the buffalo who was now staring at him.


"Have you fallen in love with that buffalo boy until you weren't tired of seeing him?!!" shouts poang Dodi made Tuo turn his head.


"Hurry here! Don't mind that buffalo boy!!!" he shouted again and then walked away.


Tuo who saw this immediately came running after Dodi's poang leaving the calf who was now shouting as if he was calling her with the sound of a buffalo child in general.


Tuo slowed down his steps after he managed to balance his steps next to Dodi's poang whose face looked so serious.


Puang Dodi glanced at his son who had seen him since.


"What's wrong?"


"No."


"Did you like to take a buffalo boy to talk?"


"Buffalo boy?"


"Well, that's like you did. Talking to animals. If anyone sees you later you're thought to be crazy."


"Who else do you want to talk to?"


"Yes, just talk to the others. The important thing is you don't talk to the buffalo."


"Speak to who? I will be with you every day only with you and the buffalo-"


"But now there's Saoda. Just get him to talk instead of your mouth you're just used to talking to buffalo."


Tuo sighed. How he talked to Saoda, Saoda never answered any questions he gave.


Puang Dodi who had been on foot since then now turned to look at Tuo who no longer spoke. Since then his son was just silent while continuing to step.


Long enough both of them stepped up to take twenty minutes to get home.


From a distance Puang Dodi has been amazed by the yard of the house that now looks so clean without a leaf littered the yard. Usually, the yard of his house is always dirty filled with leaves scattered everywhere.


"Who has swept the house?" tanya puang Dodi who has now set both feet in the yard area of his house that has been clean.


"Sir, who has washed the clothes?" asked Tuo who was now touching the clothes that were still wet.


Puang Dodi also touches the surface of clothing that is also felt alkaline. He looked at Tuo for a moment before the two of them now stared at the house simultaneously.


Puang Dodi is now stepping closer to home followed by Tuo who also took a step following every step of Puang Dodi who has now climbed the steps of the stairs.


Both the eyes of Puang Dodi and Tuo now turned to look at the room of the house that had now been neatly arranged. No more old clothes perched on the walls of the house. Everything looks clean.


Puang Dodi remembered something making him quickly turn his head towards the end of the room which now looked so clean. Usually in the corner of the house there are many former sacks that are very messy and do not have time for Puang Dodi or Tuo to clean it.


The sound of footsteps heard walking in the kitchen made Puang Dodi turn her head.


"Mr!" summoning Tuo made Puang Dodi turn his head.


"There was no Saoda in the room, ' he said.


Puang Dodi who heard that immediately stepped towards the kitchen. He opened the entrance curtain until he managed to find the figure of Saoda who now looks very busy putting some plates on the table.


Tuo took a step and stood right beside Puang Dodi. He was also curious about what his father saw so that he looked silent.


Tuo was silent with an unsuspecting look at the girl who did not want to talk to him that looked busy.


Saoda turned his head and smiled at the two figures of the man who was now standing at the entrance.


"You're home yet?" saoda asked with a smile.


Instead of answering, Puang Dodi and Tuo now turned their heads in all directions staring at the part of the kitchen room that was so very clean. None of them looked cluttered in his sense of sight.


The tableware that initially piled up has now been clean and has been neatly arranged on the shelf plate that is not even visible anymore spider nest there.


"What's wrong?" tanya Saoda made Puang Dodi and Tuo turn his head.


"You did all this?" asked Puang Dodi while pointing in all directions.


Saoda smiled then nodded slowly.


"Couldn't you?"


"I'm sorry. I'm just bored. I didn't do anything here, so I cleaned the house. Em, am I wrong? If I'm wrong please forgive me!"


"Not to apologize! I'm not gonna be mad, son! What you're doing is good, son, you're just sick."


Saoda immediately shook his head with a sincere smile engraved on his lips.


"I'm cured, pour."


"Oh, huh?"


Saoda nodded.


Not long after, Saoda turned back to look at the dining table that had been served rice and kale vegetable side dishes that he cooked after picking kale behind the house.


"Are you hungry? Come eat! I've been cooking kale for the side dish this afternoon. Come on!" take him while sitting.


Puang Dodi and Tuo were compactly looking at each other with bewildered faces. This little girl had suddenly turned into a girl who had been jolly, not the same as the little girl he had met yesterday. There was no more sadness that he saw from Saoda's beautiful face.


"Why are you guys quiet?"
