It had been a few days since Arselo's arrival to the village. His work was smooth, even he also hired young people in the village to help run the project. It did not feel like the day was moving, it was soon time for the workers to rest and Arselo began to go to the impromptu cafeteria that he built specifically for the workers during the project. So excited he was walking while capturing the atmosphere there through the video, he accidentally grazed a small child who was carrying a small plastic bag, until the plastic bag fell to the edge of the rice field area where the soil was still wet because it was just finished in the work.
Bruck...
"Well, rice makes mama fall. Dirty again" said the boy, looking down as he tried to reach the pouch with his small hands.
"Okay, sorry De. Om accidentally" said Arselo helped get the plastic bag.
"Will I change the food?" asked Arselo while squatting to equalize his height with the little boy, the boy raised his face and looked at Arselo's face with a look that was almost crying.
Deg ...
"That eye, the same eye as mine and grandfather" inner Arselo.
The boy still silently looked at Arselo.
"Hows it? Do you mind changing your food?" ask Arselo again.
"Yes, can om. Sorry for the trouble" said the little boy, nodding his head slowly.
"Don't take it, om the wrong way was not careful earlier, yu we to the canteen that is there" asked Arselo showed a small building with tents, and many chairs are also long tables.
The little boy nodded again.
"If you can tell, what's your name?"
"My name is Raiyan om. Whose name is om'nya?"
"What a good name. Arselo's name, call me El"
"Oh, hello to you El".
"Salam knows also Raiyan" said Arselo while stroking the top of Raiyan's head. And again the peaceful feeling he got, the warm feeling with a million yearnings.
Just as they were about to step towards the cafeteria building suddenly a small child ran towards them.
"Rai, why did you leave Brother? Why go back again, mamakkan again in Udin Hajj rice field, the direction to there !!! And that's why the bag is dirty? You run again, huh? Are you hurt?" ask the boy's streak to Raiyan.
Arselo was stunned by the many questions that the little boy asked Raiyan.
"Oh, this brother if he asks it one-on-one. Males replied akh" said Raiyan lightly.
"Ikh, Rai the habits of the nanya are never answered, sin loh" said the boy again.
Arselo who saw that smiled faintly, in his heart asking "Could they be twins?" his eyes were also the same, which distinguished only that the child had a scar on one of his temples.
"So the plastic bag that I brought fell Brother, not accidentally this nagging om" replied Raiyan explaining "We now want to go to the cafeteria that is there, om this want to replace our food" continued again.
The boy puffed his head to look at the grown man who was with his brother. Arselo who felt in the face was crouching again in front of the child.
"Hay sweet sister, sorry om accidentally hit your sister so she dropped her meal" said Arselo.
Arselo looked at the child standing in front of him, his eyes were the same, only that the child had a cold aura that he emitted for a stranger like Arselo.
The boy was silent, did not respond to Arselo's speech so that it makes him wrong, Arselo was only able to smile while scratching his temple that does not itch.
Raiyan who saw his brother was silent after hearing Arselo's explanation immediately pulled his brother's hand to come with them.
"Come bang, come change your mama's food first. Later mama wait for us long" Raiyan asked the boy.
Arselo followed the little boy from behind. Now he thinks "May there be foreign tourists living in the village? But he clearly said his mother was at work and was waiting for the food they would deliver. Then is their father bule? Because the children were different from the children he had met while in the village". Now he's a little curious, and will ask Arsela later tonight his intentions.
"Who, Dayyan? Raiyans? Why are you here?" rumini asked the two children.
Raiyan also told what he had experienced on Ms. Rumini. Rumini nodded and gave her a plastic bag containing new food.
"Here, hurry up after your mom, kasian she must have been waiting for it" said Rumini.
"Thank you, Rum om El" said Raiyan, "We say goodbye" he continued before passing out of the canteen.
Arselo nodded, then he asked Rum to make him black coffee without sugar and deliver it to his desk.
"Do you know them?" arselo asked when Rumini came to give his order.
"Hells Dayyan and Raiyan her brother Qirani, her twin son Fira tea, Grandson ni Eti" replied Mrs Rumini.
"They're triplet twins?" ask again.
"Yes sir. But I don't know her husband Fira tea, because Fira tea time to this village already humming and just say divorce widow, but her husband does not know that Fira tea is pregnant again" obviously, Miss Rumini.
There was a sense of tightness that had slipped into the recesses of his heart, but he tried to tepis.
"Oh that, pity them too yes, even though they are handsome and funny children. In fact, I think first they are tourists who are on vacation, their faces bule" said Arselo said his opinion with a smile.
"When I first saw my father, I thought he was the father of twins who were looking for his children and wife because the father and the twins were similar, it's just that the color of your hair is different" said Ms. Rumini nyeplos, she immediately covered her mouth with her hands.
"Sorry sir, I've been talking late" said Ms. Rumini slowly.
Arselo who heard that then dampened his smile "Did they look so much like me?" ask Arselo.
"Yes people also think like that sir" said Rumini's great-grandson again "Sorry sir, I say back first. People have started to arrive" continued Ms. Rumini before returning to her place.
Arselo nodded, letting Rumini continue his work of serving the workers who were going to lunch.
***
That afternoon Safira was working in the rice field owned by Haji Udin, this morning before leaving he asked to bring lunch to his two sons. While Qirani he forbade to go to the rice fields first, worried that the heat will recur.
But today they seem to come late, because usually they will come during the adhan duhur, but until now they have not arrived. Safira also finally prayed first in the substation near the rice field while waiting for his children to come, until when Safira finished praying even his children have not been seen.
"Did they forget to go to this rice field?" safira asked herself "It's better that I finish this job and go home soon" Safira said. When he was about to change his clothes again with dirty clothes before the Safira prayer heard the cries of his children.
"Mama" call Dayyan.
"Mama" call Raiyan.
"You guys came? Mama thought you forgot" asked Safira.
"I forgot ma, there were only a few incidents" said Raiyan.
"Insidences? What's up?" ask Safira again.
Raiyan also talked about his meeting with Arselo.
"Have you thanked El?" safira asked after listening to Raiyan's story.
"It's ma" said Raiyan.
"But ma, om El it looks like Brother Day"
