The car driven by Nalendra began to drive away from the hospital area. Next to her sat Ayumi. The girl looked dreamy. He's still upset with Kemal. The closer to the wedding day, the more hesitant he is to spend time, living with the man.
His view then turned to Nalendra who was focused on driving. Ayumi begins to compare Kemal with the man next to her. And the difference is very far away. Although they are only two years old, Nalendra is much more mature and responsible.
“Bang.”
“Hem.”
“I.. can come to the plantation, ngga?”
“You want to come to the plantation?”
Nalendra turned his head towards Ayumi. The girl just nodded her head. Nalendra thought for a moment. It's not that he won't take Ayumi, it's just that it's noon. Nalendra will also spend a lot of time on the plantation, it could be until night.
“How yes, Ay. I'll be there a long time. Could be maghrib. You'll be home the night you go there. How about next time?”
“I want now, bang. I'm really bad again. Please yes, bang,” Ayumi cupped both hands.
Nalendra was confused himself. Looking at Ayumi's face, she couldn't bear to refuse. But the time they have is limited now. Nalendra's hand is seen tapping on the steering wheel he is driving.
“I phone papa, ask permission. Can yes, bang.”
Inevitably Nalendra nodded her head, looking at Ayumi who was so adamant. A smile rose on the girl's pretty face. He quickly picked up his phone, then contacted Barra. After a few rings, the father answered his call.
“Assalamu’alaikum.”
“Waalaikumsalam. Pa.. I want to join Nal bang to the plantation, yes, pa.”
“Where is it?”
“Where, bang?” Ayumi asked Nalendra.
“Ciwidey.”
“Di Ciwidey, pa.”
Nalendra asks Ayumi to change the call mode to loud talk. He himself would talk to Barra and explain their situation. Ayumi brought the phone closer to the man.
“Om.. This is with Nal. Sorry, Ayumi wants to come with me to the farm. But I'll be there a long time. I'm probably getting anterin back at night, om.”
“Definitely Yumi who wants to join,” terka Barra.
The man was already khatam with the stubbornness of the child. Including his marriage to Kemal. Nalendra just laughed a little at Barra's words. Ayumi smashed her lips.
“Om Tipped Yumi, yes.”
“Iya, om.”
“If the boy troubles you, send him home. Tell nebeng cow truck.”
“Papa.” protest Ayumi.
“Iya, um. Incidentally there is a milk delivery truck that will go to Bandung later. I can take Ayumi to the driver.”
“Abang iiihh.”
“Yumi.. You're fine there. Don't murmur, don't disturb the work of Nal.”
“Iya, pa, yes. It was ah. Assalamu’alaikum.”
“Waalaikumsalam.”
Ayumi's face was visible after getting permission from her father to visit the Humanity Corp plantation. The girl then asked Nalendra to play the car audio to accompany their trip to Ciwidey. There was the sound of the girl humming following the song playing.
It turns out that Ayumi's concert only lasted a little while. The girl is asleep now. Nalendra turned his head, not hearing Ayumi's voice anymore. Ayumi fell asleep with her head leaning against the window. Nalendra pulled the vehicle over for a while. He took a small pillow from the back seat. Slowly he stuck Ayumi's head with a pillow, then continued on his way back.

A pat on the shoulder, woke Ayumi from her sleep. His eyes immediately opened, and caught Nalendra who was waking him up. The girl straightened herself. So sleepy, he did not realize that he had arrived at the plantation.
“Aduh, I overslept. Sorry yes, bang.”
“Ngga. Come down.”
Ayumi got out of the car immediately. Ayumi's eyes immediately looked around. They are now in the plantation administration office. Nalendra invites Ayumi to come in. A middle-aged man approached Nalendra. They talked for a while. Sometimes Nalendra saw the paper in his hand.
“Ay.. I'm going to the silo. You want to come?”
“Silo what, bang?”
“Warehouse of harvest storage.”
“Ooh.. yes, I'm with dong.”
“We pray first, yes. Yes adzan.”
There was the sound of the Adhan coming from the mosque in this plantation complex. Nalendra immediately invited Ayumi there to perform the Ashar prayer. It was seen that some officers were also walking towards there. Arriving at the mosque the two immediately headed for a separate place.
After performing the prayer, Nalendra invited Ayumi to the silo using a club car. The girl seemed happy to surround the garden using a car commonly used to play golf. His eyes continued to gaze at the row of plants they crossed as they headed for the silo.
There was a greeting from the workers as the club car they were driving passed them. Nalendra returned their greeting while smiling. Without explaining, Ayumi knew that Nalendra was liked by all the employees here. The son of Farel is famous as an environmentally friendly man.
Club car stops in front of the silo. The size of the warehouse turned out to be quite large as well. It appears that many employees are sorting vegetables that have just been harvested. There are carrots, tomatoes, potatoes, pokcoy, red chilies, green chilies, cabbage, cauliflower and also broccoli. Nalendra lets Ayumi sit wherever she wants. While he directly controls the sorting and packing process.
“Is there any constraints on harvest?” ask Nalendra.
“Ngga, sir. Poor yield is also less than previous harvest.”
“Thank God. For the distribution has been properly detailed?”
“Already, sir. There are additional requests from The Ocean, Arjuna and Yudhistira hotels. Rose cafe and Premium also for next month there is an additional request.”
“Can we fulfill it?”
“So far it's still safe, sir.”
“Ok.. pak Herman where?”
“Still harvesting fish, sir.”
“Good, sir.”
The man who was conversing with Nalendra, immediately went to do as he was told. Nalendra walked up to the mothers who were sorting potatoes. He crouched down and looked at the potato harvest this time which was more than the previous harvest.
“Bu.. That potato should not be put into grade A. Look, there is a slight defect in this section,” Nalendra points to the part of the potato that there is a slight leg.
“Slightly free, sir.”
“Yes, but if peeled, there must be a little bit of safety in it.”
“Ooh.. so yes, sir.”
I put the potatoes back in the basket. He went back to sorting the remaining potatoes. Nalendra helped the workers briefly, then continued his control. Now he's in the broccoli section. Since Farel was given responsibility to take care of the plantation, Nalendra took it seriously. Although sometimes he had to go back and forth Ciwidey-Bandung, because the man was still finishing his S2 lecture.
In addition, the knowledge he obtained in the lecture bench applied when taking care of this plantation. Much of the knowledge he taught the average plantation worker was a resident of about thirty. His friendly attitude made the man favored by the workers, especially the mothers. Many offered their daughters to Nalendra.
“If this neng is his girlfriend Pak Nalen?” ask one of the mothers to Ayumi.
“Bu.”
“Iya, ma'am,” sambar Ayumi.
Nalendra widened her eyes, looking at Ayumi. The girl simply blinked her eyes at Nalendra. The man just shook his head. He resumed his work again and let Ayumi talk to the other workers.
“Udah long dating?” ask the mother named Lilis, kepo.
“New today,” replied Ayumi of origin.
For some reason, the girl wanted to say it all. Today she wants to cosplay being Nalendra's lover. Wonder how the reaction of the mothers who wanted the man to be her daughter-in-law. Ayumi had indeed heard of this when Aidan talked to his cousins, when mocked Nalendra.
“Bang Nalen doesn't have a girlfriend, does she?” search Ayumi.
“Ngga, really. Still single, but a lot of fans. From girl to widow, hihihi.”
Ayumi just threw her grin. While continuing to sort vegetables, Lilis continued to tell how Nalendra was. Ayumi secretly admires Nalendra who is not only smart, but also kind, friendly and pious. If only he had met the man sooner, he might not have been with Kemal. His lover is still childish and often irritates him.
“Still at home here?” nalendra's question interrupted Ayumi's conversation with Lilis.
“Abang where to go?”
“You go to the office again. If you're still here, nothing. Later to be escorted by Jaka to the office.”
“Ngga ah. I'm going with my brother. Miss Lilis, I'll go first, yeah. Later on the story will be repeated.”
“Iya, neng.”
With a small run, Ayumi caught up with Nalendra who had already come out first. They boarded the club car to return to the office. Ayumi's hand waved as it passed the employees who were preparing to go home, as it was almost five in the afternoon.
“Abang here really negtop ya. Many want to be the brother of prospective ghosts, hihihi.”
“What did you say we were dating?”
“Inseng. I want to cosplay again as his girlfriend brother,” Ayumi blinked her eyes.
“Knowledge Kemal scolded later.”
“Aah mah brother, even talking about the camel. I'm so happy with him.”
“You've been dating her for a long time?”
“Newly a year anyway dating. But I have known him for a long time. When he was a friend, he was his friend. Turn already dating, initially aja sweet, long nyebelin.”
“Hahaha..nyebelin how?”
“He's a rich little boy. His job is playing the game with Deri, his best friend. He'd rather meet Deri than I've seen Ila, very nice, right?”
“If you're rich, why would you want to marry her? Mumpung not too late, cancel aja.”
“Have to, bang. But I'm not good with her parents, especially her mom. Her mother was very happy with me. I can't bear to make Mama Rindi disappointed.”
Their conversation ended when the club car they were riding in stopped in front of the administration office. Nalendra immediately went down and entered the office. Ayumi followed the man from behind. Nalendra asks Ayumi to wait in her room. While he had to discuss important matters with Herman.

Not felt, time is approaching night. The voice of adzan maghrib was heard from the mosque. Nalendra immediately ended the conversation. He returned to his room, then took Ayumi to the mosque.
“Ay.. We go to my house first, nothing? I want to shower,” said Nalendra finished performing the Maghrib prayer service.
“Home brother? Do you have a home here?”
“Still rent. Close by, nothing, right?”
“Yes, nothing, bang.”
Nalendra gets into the car followed by Ayumi. The vehicle immediately drove out of the plantation. They only drove for ten minutes, and had reached the house where Nalendra lived when he could not go home to Bandung. Ayumi looked at the tiny house in front of her.
“Ayo.”
The man opened the door of the house, then let Ayumi in. He rushed into the room, while Ayumi watched television until Nalendra finished bathing. Ten minutes later, Nalendra was done with his bathing activities. Ayumi was slightly stunned when she saw the man coming out of the room. The man looked handsome wearing casual clothes.
“We ate first, just came home.”
“Iya, bang. I also have laper.”
“Come, we ate in Ki Sunda. You like Sundanese food, right?”
“Like, bang.”
After locking the door, the two immediately got into the car. Nalendra again directed his vehicle towards the plantation. The location of the Ki Sunda restaurant is indeed near the entrance of the plantation. The typical atmosphere of earth parahyangan was immediately felt when they entered the restaurant area. Nalendra chose to eat in the saung that was there.
While waiting for their order to come, the two again chatted casually. Nalendra's insights were vast, and Ayumi was happy to talk to the man. So happy, he forgot about Kemal and his marriage which will last soon.
