In the eastern horizon, sunlight began to shoot out from his hiding place, about to shine a light on the entire earth. The rain earlier this morning also left traces of dew on the branches of the back garden trees' residence Samsul.
The third floor, precisely in the Maharani room. The girl snored softly while clutching tightly the frame of her Mama's photo. The school clothes he was wearing were still stuck on his body from nightfall.
The sound of knocking from outside the room, made the Empress sleep disturbed instantly.
"Non Rani, get up Non," called Dono as he pressed his ear against the door leaf Maharani wanted to hear if his master's son was okay inside.
Maharani moaned for a moment. In a semi-conscious state he got off the bed then stepped quickly towards the door.
"Hoam, why Don?" Maharani asked while yawning slowly.
"Yes, Non. Smell jigong know!" Dono smiled ignorantly.
"Wildamah! But it's still pretty, right?" Maharani moved his body to the right and left for a moment, stretching a little of his muscles that hurt due to his sleeping position last night was not bad.
"Yes, beautiful, hehe, Non Maharani is always beautiful!" chirps Dono while watching the eyes of Maharani look puffy.
"Clearly!" Maharani raised his chin haughtily a little. "Tumben woke me up early in the morning, it was Don's Sunday," he continued, confused as to why Dono had disturbed his dream just now.
"Anu Non..." Dono seemed to be misbehaving, it seemed like Maharani had forgotten what her Papi had said yesterday.
Maharani's forehead is faintly wrinkled. "Anu what Don? Anu lu why?"
"The Ipul is okay, Non." Dono is even a little shy.
"Huh?" Maharani. "Pulse?"
"Hehe." Dono looked down for a moment. "This is the Ipul, Cute and Powerpull."
Maharani rolled his lazy eye to hear the rambling Dono who sometimes ngalor ngidul. "As far as you are, why?" ask again.
"Non forgot yes, yesterday Den Samsul sent Non Rani to the village, starting today Non settled there with Bude Sri," said Dono very carefully. He went awry when he saw the Maharani's facial ripples change drastically at this moment.
"So Papi really wants me to go to the village? Am I not Papi's son, Don?" said Maharani instantly.
"Hush! Non don't talk about it, Non that's Aden Samsul Jamaludin's biological child. Den Samsul told Non to stay there must be a good goal."
"If so, why did he send me there.." said Maharani with tears in his eyes.
Dono in the fog. As fast as lightning he thought how to make the Maharani laugh.
"My balloon is three, the colors are green, yellow, gray, pink and blue." Dono sang in front of the Maharani while moving his body in all directions.
With tears in his eyes, Maharani laughed softly. "Don, it's mah not three, but five Don!" his protest while rubbing the clear liquid quickly in the eye fertilizer.
"Hehe, three yes Non, sorry yes Non, understand the school only until elementary school. That's only up to grade 1 SD." Dono looks happy when he hears the laughter of Maharani. "Now Non get ready yes, soon we leave, count Non holidays there hehe." Dono added again.
"Yes Don, you baek-baek here, I want to go to the village, so here no one takes care of you anymore!" seloroh Maharani, a little amused by the behavior of Dono just now.
"Hehe ready Non beautiful!" Dono lifted his two thumbs into the air.

"Mas, be careful on the road, sorry I can't come later at 10 am the same gathering of friends." Mirna gave her sweet smile to Samsul, who was already in the car with the Maharani.
"Yes, I didn't take long, you looked at Rara gih, told her to have breakfast, sorry she hasn't eaten from last night."
Hmh! I didn't eat last night, didn't you think! Mr lucknut you!
Maharani looked straight ahead, reluctant to see the affection that Samsul and Mirna were displaying at this time.
"You don't bother Bude Sri there, Rani!" mirna said with a sudden ketus.
Reluctant to reply, Maharani even rolled his lazy eye upwards.
***
After saying goodbye to Mirna, the black pajero sports car sped up leaving the courtyard of Samsul's house.
"Rani, Papi asks you to be a good boy there, Bude is only alone there, if you need to follow him plowing the fields, Papi's goal is to send you there, which means good." Samsul began to open his voice when in the car so quiet.
The maharani did not respond at all. He was staring at the road from the window.
Samsul took a deep breath, looking at his daughter with an indecipherable look now.
"Hehe, yes Non, anyone knows there's a handsome farmer, one swim drink water." From the front seat, Dono chimed in to want to melt the atmosphere.
"Yes, Don. While diving drink water, that's right" said Maharani quickly.
"Well that's Non, hehe."
When he saw the interaction of his son and subordinates, Samsul was a little upset. "Rani, you heard Papi's words earlier."
"Yes listen!" reply Maharani with ketus.
Samsul took a deep breath, when the Empress seemed to disrespect him at all now.
After a few hours, Maharani has arrived in the village which is located very far from the capital.
Maharani circulated the view, saw a wooden-walled house and looked beautiful right in front of him, which was quite beautiful, according to him because there were flowers in front of the terrace. However, the scenery in the yard of the house suddenly made him nauseous.
Maharani nodded then got out of the car.
"Well, how is there Don's chicken shit?" Carefully the Maharani stepped in, for in the yellow soil there was chicken manure scattered everywhere. He closed his nose for a moment.
"The local wisdom is mah, Non." Dono picked up the Maharani bag from the trunk.
Maharani grunts quietly.
"Sri, I've come!" call Samsul at the door of the house.
In the next instant, the door opened, revealing a round-faced woman welcoming their arrival. Who else if not Bude Sri, Samsul's younger brother.
"Well, come on in!" Bude Sri invited Samsul, Dono and Maharani to go inside.
Without many words, Maharani took his bag from Dono's hand and then entered the house first through Bude Sri, Samsul and Dono.
"Sorry Sri for the Maharani's attitude is like that, so I ask him to stay here, let you educate him properly, I'm tired of serving him," said Samsul still at the door.
Instead of being angry, Bude Sri even smiled knot. "Yes, Bang. Let's go in first, I made iced tea must be soybean right?"
"No, I just happened to have to catch up with Sri's time, I'm going to the next town too, my business." Samsul refused subtly while circulating his gaze around Bude Sri's house.
"Oh so, sure, do not want to stop by for a while," Bude Sri again offered.
"Aren't you happy living here Sri?" Samsul turned to the right and to the left. As if disgusted to see the wooden house.
"What's the matter, Bang. Of course I'm happy even though my husband is gone but the memories can not be forgotten Bang."
Samsul sighed hearing his sister's words, which he found strange. Already knew her husband died, even settled in the village of the late husband when he had offered the house to his sister.
"Oh yeah, I'll go first." Samsul and Dono resigned later. Leaving Bude Sri standing in front of the terrace of the house.
"Rani, why daydream?" bude Sri asked as she opened the front main door wide and stuck the door with a stone so as not to close again.
Maharani took a deep breath. "Dreamy of my life, Bu–eh!"
The Maharani's words interjected when Bude Sri embraced him suddenly.
"You're so big, Rani. Bude really misses you, the last time you came here when you were 10 years old with your Mami." Bude Sri clutched the body of the Maharani.
Maharani. The touch given by Bude Sri was able to make his heart warm. It is true, it has been a long time since he met Bude Sri. He also did not know why Bude Sri never visited Jakarta.
Maharani only knew Bude Sri was a widow who had no children, aka living alone in her husband's village.
"You must be tired, right? Now you rest in your room, your room is there, sorry if the room is as rough as it is. Bude wants to make you your favorite cake first." Bude Sri took off a hug and then briefly kissed Maharani's forehead. Leaving the Empress frozen in place.
***
Before laying himself on the bed, Maharani noticed the state of his room, which was inversely proportional to his room first.
There are small old mattresses, small wooden cabinets, tables and chairs in every corner of the room. He guessed why Bude Sri lived a simple life, while he knew that his Papi was the son of a rich man.
Not wanting to think too much, Maharani decided to sleep alone even though the mattress he was laying on was now very uncomfortable and a little musty smell.
In the evening, Maharani is forced to wake up when Bude Sri tells him to take a bath and have dinner together.
In between meals, Bude Sri invites Maharani to chat, asking Maharani to change her way of speaking and her clothing style. Maharani mangosteen only, although rarely met, Bude Sri managed to make the Maharani obedient. She looked at Bude Sri like her own meek and considerate Mama.
"Just take this Bude Mami you yes," said Bude then sipped water.
The maharani smiled warmly. "Yes Bude."
After finishing the meal, Maharani and Bude Sri did not go directly to the room. Both are still cool chatting, releasing pent-up longing all this time. Until finally the drowsiness hit both of them and finally they decided to rest themselves in their respective rooms.

The next day, Maharani who was in the middle of diving into his dream room was disturbed by the sound of chickens crowing in the morning.
"Oh, it's so noisy!" With his eyes closed, Maharani ngedumel himself.
"Rani, get up, let's go with Bude to the market!" Bude Sri poked out from behind the door of the Maharani's room. Seeing the Maharani still lying on the bed.
"Five more minutes Bude, take it" Maharani said without opening his eyes.
"Eh, there's not five minutes, five minutes, let's go to noon!" Bude Sri sat on the edge of the bed while gently stroking the long hair of the Maharani. "Let's get up, Nduk."
Inevitably Maharani opened his eyes and was forced to join Bude Sri, in a pillow face alias without washing his face and brushing his teeth.
"Rani, didn't you wash your face?" Bude Sri walked beside the Maharani.
"No, why Bude, Maharani is always beautiful as it is, already we are a bit speedy let go back to his house also quickly," said Maharani as he accelerated his footsteps, leaving Bude Sri behind alone.
"Come Bude! Pretty slow anyway, like a snail knows!" Maharani exclaimed without looking ahead, smiling ignorantly at Bude Sri.
Bruk!
"Awh!"
"Know! Gods!"
