Rahadi Usman Airport, Ketapang, West Kalimantan.

Today Ardo took his family to Borneo. Do you remember Ardo had to inaugurate a resort there? In two days he will inaugurate it.

"Dad! Varo wants a drink" said Varo. They were still waiting for the Viola family to come pick up.

"This," Ardo unseals from the Aqu* brand's mineral water.

Varo. "Law, it's not good! Varo wants what it feels like" he replied.

"Let's buy it there" pointed Ardo at one of the airport's shops. "Well, we'll go there first, won't we?"

"No, not for long. My cousin's coming,"

Ardo nodded, then carried Varo towards the tavern.

Not long after a man came to Viola.

"Viola?"

Viola. "Eh Bang Dimas, wait for my husband to buy Varo a drink."

Dimas is one of Viola's cousins here, Dimas is the son of Tania's mother's sister. Dimas also runs Viola's cafe here.

"What's his name?" point Dimas at Keo who was asleep in Viola's sling.

"Alceo, call Keo jak,"

"Eh, remember e bahase Ketapang nin?(Do you remember the language of the Ketapang?)" Dimas berjekit shocked, he thought Viola had forgotten the language of the region here.

"Masehlah, bende every time the grandmother calls Ketapang jak am, grandma te mane tau bahase Indo, (Still dong, every time the grandmother calls must use Ketapang language, Ketapang language, my grandmother didn't know Indo)"

"Your husband knows me? (Do you know?)"

"That's it, endak tau not am, (That's it, don't know)" said Viola laughing.

"Mother! Varo buy the docks, Mommy wants to?"

"No, make Varo, please" said Viola. "Mas, this is my cousin, Bang Dimas." Viola introduced Dimas. "This Dimas is Mas Ardo, my husband."

They shake hands and then say hello for pleasantries. Actually they already know each other but if they meet new this time.

"Kate umak t you told me to nginap lock home, die standing with you. Terakher you granny when you were in high school, (Said my mother, stop by the house first, she misses. Last time you were in High School)"

Viola looked at Ardo. "Where, Mas?"

"What?" asked Ardo confused, he did not understand the words of his wife's cousin. In addition to using the Malay language they also speak very fast.

"My mom told us to stop by first,"

"May, the inauguration is also the day after tomorrow" replied Ardo.

"Jude, come on."

They got into Dimas' car.

"Still a lecturer?" ask Ardo.

Dimas nodded. "Still, it's good to make extra money, marriage capital." Dimas laughing. Yes Dimas was single at thirty-two. Actually Dimas is one of the largest bouksit entrepreneurs in Kalimantan. The lecturer was just a side job for him. Not the material that makes it unmarried but has not found the right one. The problem of the face is Dimas fairly ok, because if he is in the crowd will definitely be the center of attention.

"Welcome to the mall lok e nin? Occasionally stop by lok to cyan, (Not to the mall first? Once in a while stop by there,)" Dimas asked as they passed by the largest shopping mall in Ketapang.

"Lok's stock, Keo's equal, (No, poor Keo)" Viola replied. This was the first long trip for the baby.

Not long before they arrived at Dimas' house. The distance between the airport and Dimas house is only 10 minutes. If it is here like in Jakarta it will probably take half an hour plus traffic jams.

Here never experiencing traffic jams on a normal day, usually jammed if there are marches or pageants only. Such as takbiran night marches, Chinese new year night processions, and other events. But the traffic jam is not severe, not until the vehicles can not move. Yes it can be said that this small town is still free from the name stuck.

On the porch of the house, there was already a middle-aged woman waiting for Viola's presence.

Viola came down and crucified the hooded woman sitting in the wheelchair. "How are you, Bik Tia?"

The woman smiled. "Good news, bibik same you nin, (Auntie kangen)" said Bi Tia, the woman hugged Viola's body and kissed her cheek.

"Bi," Ardo smiled faintly and then crucified Bi Tia. Bi Tia smiled then rubbed Ardo's head.

"Varo salim with grandma first," said Ardo. The boy obediently crucified his niece's grandmother.

Bi Tia kissed Varo's cheek. "Ye Varo's big brother now,"

Varo's eyes are round. "Grandma bise talking upin to?" asked Varo with a twinkle in his eyes.

Bi Tia laughed. He kissed Varo's cheek again. "Apart, is Grandma same Malay person. Upin is a malay," said Bi Tia. It's not hard for him to speak like that cartoon. Because the language of the average Ketapang people is Malay.

"Grandma's gone!" varo replied, The boy was a pleasure when someone spoke the same as his favorite cartoon.

"Yum masok, Grandma has prepared a meal. Varo suke semangke right?"

Varo nodded. Then they entered the big house. The boy had noticed Bi Tia. "Grandma, can't Grandma walk to?" ask Varo.

Bi Tia shook her head. "No, Grandma can't walk. Grandma's feet hurt,"

Varo's mouth forms a 'o' hurup'.

Bi Tia is someone who has diabetes. At first he did not wear a wheelchair, but after an accident a few years ago caused his legs to be difficult to move. Bi Tia still uses a wheelchair.

"Kitak break jak lok, nantik gik barok. Senek mah, right? (You guys take a break, we'll talk again, spend the night here, right?)

"Yes, Bik."

"Mas, take am Viola with suaminye to the room," Bi Tia told Dimas.

"Yum I'll show you my room,"

Then they followed Dimas to rest.

A little about the Bi Tia family, they only lived alone in this big house. Bi Tia's husband had died when Dimas was four years old because he was hit by land when he went down directly to mine gold first. While the other family was in Kentawangan quite far from the city of Ketapang.

Mami Tania has two brothers, sister number two is Bi Tia and number three is Jordan. Jordan lives in Kentawangan with his mother, Viola's grandmother. And the resort that Ardo built is on Sawi Island which is in Kentawangan.

"Bik, we pegi lok ye, Bibik ati-ati at home. Balek from the inauguration of the nantik we stopped to senek gik mah sebelom balek to Jakarta, (Bi, we go first, Bibi carefully at home. Coming home from the inauguration we stopped by again before returning to Jakarta,)" said Viola. This morning they have to go to Kentawangan with a time of about three hours, after which they will take a fishing boat to get to Sawi Island for about an hour.

"Salok, Bibik maok stock our soupaye endak uyoh buy gik, (In the meantime, Auntie wants to give you something so you don't bother buying again,)"

"Mak Usu, please do not ambush the keredus that I have prepared te, (Mak Usu (call for the youngest child but the rank of mother) please take the cardboard that I have prepared,)" call Bi Tia there's one of her aides.

A middle-aged man came along carrying two boxes of cardboard that Viola did not know what they contained.

"Wai Bik, don't bother me. We are beautiful to buy mah, (Not bother, Bi. We will also buy kok,)" said Viola.

"Eh adak mah, bring the bah jak. For Varo, ye Varo?"

Varo nodded at his father. "Iye, Grandma."

"Well, pegim Mas masokkan in the hood of the car nan, (Tuh right, go Mas enter in the trunk of the car,)" told Bi Tia on Dimas.

"Dimas didn't go to college?" ask Ardo. Didn't Dimas have a course today?

"No, Mas. Permission first, will nganterin you guys. I want a vacation, too" said Dimas. "Udah is ready for the car,"

"Ha we're leaving lok, Bik. Makaseh stavenye nin," Viola crucified Bi Tia.

Bi Tia kissed the faces of Viola, Keo and also Varo. While Ardo he just rubbed the man's thick mane.

"Ati-ati, as long as you know Bibik, (be careful, if you've got to know Bibi,)"

Bi Tia waved her hand.

Then their car went towards Pelang-Kendawangan.
