As if it were a law of nature. The most we later on, always just walk longer than usual.
" Duh Lik, how much less?" Fina grumbled as she had to wait for the flanks to finish, and paid their wages that very second.
Under the onslaught of the sun that increasingly stung the skin, made Fina squirt her eyes because of the glare.
The porters are paid based on how many sacks of grain they pelted, from the large swaths of rice fields. Walk through the rice field, until finally get to the truck.
" There's still a lot of mbak, Mbak Fina want to go?" Ajiz asked as he looked at Fina who looked agitated.
" I have a bad business anyway, how's this money? Fina was shaking her lips.
Ajiz doesn't actually dare to deal with money. Usually Yayuk is given the confidence to bring money to pay the porters.
" I don't dare mbak, there will be slippage. I'm the one with it!" Ajiz was honest, he was certainly afraid of money matters.
Usually, he is asked to pay if the amount is clear. Different case with this afternoon payment
Fina is seen staring at Ajiz and weighing the decision, The girl ruffled her waist while looking for an idea.
" Gini, Lik Ajiz, bring the money. If I'm done, I'll be back. If I'm done before I come, this is Lik Ajiz bayarin, if I haven't come yet, and I'll pay, how?" said Fina up and down her eyebrows.
" But mbak!" sergeant Ajiz is hesitant. He was afraid of getting slammed for letting Fina wander.
" It's safe, and I give you some cigarette money. I'm going first, this is the last note of the last Ijat!"
Ajiz just shook his head. The granddaughter of his master, was indeed other than the others.

Ahead of noon Fina was frowning in front of Ambarwati's house. " Excuse me!" Fina knocked on the door slowly.
" Buk, Buk Ambar!" he was seen waiting for the truth.
Fina saw Pandu's motorbike in front, but why the house was so quiet as uninhabited.
Grumpyak
Fina was aghast from hearing a noise like falling furniture, making her run without waiting any longer.
When entering, he saw a girl standing while fumbling against the wall and apparently he did not want to nudge the vase of flowers and figura in the low sideboard, next to the girl's room.
" Emmm, are you Ayu?" Fin finally spoke up, making Ayu aghast at the sound of people.
Ayudya suddenly turned his face to look for the source of the voice, a voice he had never heard or known.
" Who are you?" Ayu immediately became panicked.
" Emm don't be afraid, I'm Fina. I made a pact with your mom to get you a haircut!" Fina was really sorry to see ayu whose condition was apprehensive.
" Fina?" Ayudya repeated his words.
.

" I'm sorry about Fina, I just stayed for a while at the store. Maybe Ayu wants to go ahead, but she's not used to it!" Ambarwati who came five minutes later felt bad for Fina.
Didn't think that Fina really wanted to come to her residence.
" It's okay buk, I'm sorry I came in because I was surprised!" Fina is also sad. He played in people's homes without permission.
" No papa, sorry our house is such a mess!" Ambarwati said because his house still has a lot of furniture lying down, the rest of the peanut sauce was made.
Fina momentarily felt pain in her heart upon seeing Ayu. Pandu's sister actually has a face according to her name which means beautiful. However, his condition was really shaky.
" Yuk, you will be cut the same mbak Fina ya hair!" Ambarwati said to her daughter.
Ayu nodded happily "In my room only mbak mbutnya, later the rest of her hair let me sweep mother!" pinta Ayu with a smiling face.
Seeing Ayu happy, Fina also shared a smile "Could, you want to cut how the hell. I happen to have a complete tool!"
" I want to cut it short mbak, so don't bother combing. Sometimes you can not combin the hair so it falls out. Besides, I can't even look at my hair like how it is now!" said Ayu with a straight look.
Fina's heart aches hearing that.

" Good Buk!" Fina nodded kindly.
For some reason, being with the person below felt so calming. Fina scanned the simple look of Ayu's room.
The room was narrower than the room in his Oma house. Plain white ceramic floor, with yellow glittering windows.
Mattress with a medium size, one cupboard and one simple dresser became the most visible furniture there. There are hardly any fancy things.
On the wall he also saw a photo of Ayu being hugged by Pandu. Fina immediately smiled when she saw the foot. If in the view, Ayu seems to still be able to see while in the photo.
" My room is a mess but mbak, sorry yes. I've never cleaned up semen.."
" Reply!" in a low voice ayu immediately belies Ayu's speech, which inevitably leads to her vision problem.
Fina really felt sorry for Ayudya.
Granddaughter Bu Asmah was seen putting a black bag of hers, which contained a hair trimmer. He took the apron to be used on Ayu's body so as not to be exposed to the fall of trimmed hair.
" Wear this, let's not gatel?" Ayu nodded, though not looking but she could feel that Fina was a good person.
" Bak Fina who is who, that is, I just found out the name of Fina's sister here" Ayu tried to hunt for awkwardness by chatting.
" I'm a granddaughter of Ms. Asmah, I used to come here a lot as a kid. But you may not have been born!" Fina chuckled, while taking a hairpin along with scissors.
" Sister from dong city?" Ayu looked enthusiastic asking. He could feel the comb that was filling his hair. It clearly indicates that Fina has started the action.
Fina nodded," Yes!" he said back after realizing Ayu would never know his nod.
Fina looks seriously cut Ayu's hair " Ready? I cut it?" Said Fina who would immediately cut the bottom hair belonging to Ayu.
" Yes mbak!" Ayu looks ready. In fact, the hair is already limited to the lower shoulder. Very long.
" In the city it's delicious, brother, when I was in high school often browsing places in the city, very good!"
Fina did not expect that Ayu was apparently a communicative child. " Oh yeah, which place is it?" Fina looks good at doing her job.
He scissors, combs, clamps back ayu's straight black hair. Fina cut Ayu's hair with a short model that is again the current trend. Short hair without bangs that matches Ayu's tapered face.
Ayu talks a lot and tells her everything she wants to accomplish before a catastrophe strikes her. " But now..." Ayu looks down again. Made Fina sigh.
Silent mood.
" Ayu must be patient, and be sure that everything that happens must have a silver lining!" Fina was suddenly slapped by Ayu's condition. He who is better even often drift in the sparkling world.
" According to Ma'am, living in the village is really reassuring. Away from the dizzying bustle of the city, and..." Fina took off the apron that Ayu used when she was done with her activities.
" And what's Mama?" Ayu looked patiently waiting for Fina's words.
" Living with our dear ones is also a blessing Yuk. Embak can rarely get your kayak family together!" said Fina while glaring. His memory returned to his busy father, as well as his mother who often socialized with his friends.
His brother also lives apart from them.
Ever since Ayu was comfortable because for the first time, she had a chatmate. Although he had not seen Fina, but he could conclude that Fina must be a beautiful city girl.
" Sir Fina here long ago?" said Ayu while speechless as Fina was sweeping her neck with a special brush, removing the rest of the clipped hair.
" Want to!" fina replied smiling.
" Dah's done, you know Yuk. You're so beautiful this piece, so fresh. I want to paint you!" He said cheerfully while holding onto Ayu's two shoulders, and stared at the reflection of Pandu's sister's reflection from the mirror of her dressing table. Smiling with satisfaction for his work.
" Really?" Ayu was happy and felt her hair which was now short. Feels light on the head.
" You're really pretty Yuk!" Praise Fina honestly. Because Ayu is beautiful.
" Sir can paint too?" Ayu looks happy about it.
" Can you, won't you?" the two of them seemed to fit in just an instant.
Ayu nodded. " Didn't you bother Fina?"
" We find the right time, here the view is good Yuk. Let's find a background that's okay..."
Without them noticing a pair of eyes watching their interaction. Pandu's heart warms to see his sister who can smile freely with strangers like Fina.
" Thank you so much Fin!" Said Pandu inwardly while smiling at Fina who just kept talking to her sister.
