"so where's your house...?" ask Adam when the car is back on the move
"in front there is a hallway on the right, into the hallway and stop in front of the house cet gray, there is a coconut tree in front of him" Deva told
after meeting the hallway, Adam turned his car. Bara's car followed from the back until then the two stopped at a house meant by Deva. house cet gray, gray color, cet, some coconut trees neatly lined up in the yard.There is also a gazebo that is used for a place to relax in front of the house.
they all got out of the car, a woman who heard the roar of the car engine instantly opened the door and came out welcoming their arrival.
"assalamualaikum aunty" Seil stepped closer to the woman, Nurma's mother whom he called aunt
"wa alaikumsalam. geez, ponakan aunty has not met for a long time" Nurma's mother hugged Seil
As Deva approached her mother, she hugged Deva and kissed her entire face. Deva kissed both of her mother's cheeks and also her hands then re-hugged her.
"how's mom doing...?" ask Deva gently
"good mother, you how. why thin like this, what so many college assignments until you forget to eat" mother Nurma saw the body of her child who thinks thin
"it's not skinny loh bi, because the proportional body of women's dreams is like that" said Seil
"just because you're already here, you have to eat a lot to contain more.who would like you to be skinny like this"
",don't get me wrong bi, who likes Deva a lot of loh ya, on the ngantri all" Seil chuckled
"is that really a kid...?"
"no ma'am, don't trust a child"
"indiscriminately, Seil is already great"
Deva and Nurma's mother smiled seeing Seil pout. Deva looked towards the standing ocean team watching the three.
"o Allah, until I forget I brought a group. Mom, introduce those I told you on the phone yesterday" Deva looked towards the ocean team
"assalamualaikum ma'am" El kissed Nurma's mother's hand as well as the others
"wa alaikumsalam, wah will name nih mother's house.yeah let's go inside, the goods are brought in too" mother Nurma welcome
it looks like the woman treated them well like a valued guest.
the house only has three bedrooms, one belongs to Deva, her parents' room and the other is Deva's sister's room. he welcomed Seil and the others, who were in the kitchen cooking for their guests.
"sister Deva" the girl jumped into Deva's arms when she saw her brother
"Zahra is very happy that finally my brother came home too" said Deva's sister named Zahra
"kangen yeah...?" Deva hugged her sister's body tightly and kissed the girl's head
"banget" Zahra nodded
"it's like that if you don't meet for a long time, Zahra will stick to wherever Deva goes" Nurma's mother said as the ocean team was swept away by the sight of the brother and sister
"just like Lana bu, Alana also likes to nempelin both Lana's sisters" Alana said
"until sleep must be done first, even though it is big" said Adam
"biarin, same brother as well" replied Alana
"having an older brother is good, we as women feel very guarded and cared for. he's a substitute father to take care of his sister" said Nurma's mother
"yes you guys rest, but I'm sorry the room is only two. for men can sleep in Deva's room only and for women in Zahra's room"
"in the living room we did not matter ma'am, it has been well received here we are very grateful" said El
"keep this in store where...?" Melati pointed at some of their grocery bags earlier
"what is it...?"
"ma'am's food, snacks and some fruit. Sorry we just brought the potluck" Nisda replied
"jeez why do you bother to bring this much" for the ocean team it might not be much but for Nurma's mother their groceries are very much
"nothing, ma'am, we happened to pass through the minimarket because there was something to buy so all of you to be here" said Starla
"mashaa Allah, thank you very much yes, then take it in the kitchen later partially put in the refrigerator" said Nurma's mother
Starlet and Nisda intend to bring their groceries to the kitchen but Nurma's mother forbid and ask them to rest alone.the day is getting late, surely they will be very tired of having traveled far.
"don't kid, just let mom and Zahra get this cleaned up later.You guys just go into the room for the rest"
"Zahra, Deva between them to your room"
"well ma'am" replied Deva and Zahra
deva and Zahra's rooms are next to each other, the women enter Zahra's room while the men enter Deva's room.
"your room is so pretty" Melati praised as she entered Zahra's room
"this is the ornamental Deva" replied Zahra
"lucky you have a sister like Deva's sister" said Starla was envious to have a brother
"sister doesn't have a brother...?" ask Zahra
"no, I'm an only child" Starla replied
"thank you for what you have. you may not have a brother but there are parents who love you very much"
"yes, you're right, papa I love me so much" Starla smiled
"again despite not having a brother, but now I have an older sister" Starla embraced Melati
"that's how big brother said an only child" Zahra became confused
"we're not siblings but to me he's like my own brother" Starla replied
"aaaa so sweet" Melati hugs Starla
"then you rest, if in bed is not enough, there is a mattress provided to sleep under. sorry yes, my room is narrow" Zahra was not happy
"no problem Zahra, the important thing is that comfort is enough" said Alana
"then I go out first yes, want to help mom in the kitchen"
"yes"
when Zahra came out of his room, Adam came out of Deva's room. Adam smiled and so did Zahra.
"where is the bathroom...?" ask Adam
understand that in the house there is only one bathroom and that was behind near the kitchen. Zahra and Deva rooms do not have a bathroom like their home, so when going to waste their wishes they have to get out of the room first and go to the kitchen.
"behind my brother, let me take you" replied Zahra
Zahra walked first and Adam followed her. There was Nurma's mother who was peeling onions at a simple dinner table.
"that's the bathroom" point to Zahra on the left
when entering the kitchen area, the bathroom is located on the left. the dining table is next to the cooking place, sometimes if you are working on something to cook, mother Nurma or Zahra will sit on the dining table chair.
"you're not a wife...?" nurma's mother asked as Adam came out of the bathroom
"no ma'am, tonight's night" Adam approached Nurma and Zahra's mother
"whose name are you...?" asked Nurma's mother, hearing her mother ask Adam's name, Zahra glanced at Adam who was sitting in front of her and was blocked by the table
"Adam ma'am" replied Adam kindly
"that was his sister"
"where is ma'am...?"
"that's, who said he liked the nempelin his two older brothers"
"oh yes, she's my sister's name is Alana. If my other brother, the man who wears white clothes, his name is El-Shakir"
Zahra occasionally kept glancing at Adam and the moment Adam looked at her, the girl would bow her head not daring to look at Adam.
"Zahra what class is it now...?" ask Adam to see the girl
"class X brother" replied Zahra timidly
"you're the same age as Alana then" Adam smiled and it made Zahra misbehave
"what would you cook...?" Deva came to join
"Zahra you replace the mother for a while yes, I want to go take the fish first the same sir Ujang. The fish was not brought until now"
"don't ma'am, let Deva go get it" Deva forbade her mother
"no, you follow my father to the store, usually at this hour already want to close. dad's motor is damaged and still in the workshop"
"let Zahra aja Bu take the fish, and Zahra will return the Wulan money that Zahra borrowed yesterday" Zahra moved from her seat
"may I come with...?" Adam is sound
"sister Adam is not tired...?" ask Zahra
"no, I come with ya. I want to see the atmosphere of this village in the afternoon" said Adam
Zahra looked towards Deva intending to ask for permission and Deva nodded allowing.The three exited the house to their respective destinations. Deva rode his motorcycle to pick up his father while Adam and Zahra were going to Ujang's house to pick up fish.
"well yeah...?" ask Adam
"lumayan, if you're tired don't have to come"
"it's okay. unfortunately I bring a car, if there is a motorbike can use the motor only"
the two left the house, the others were still in the room.
they went down the aisle and when they came out, they took the right because if the left is the way out of the village to the highway. Adam looked back, he still saw the children he had given the money was playing, running here and there.
everyone who runs into them, will greet and smile kindly.that is life in the village, unlike in the city that sometimes neighbors do not know each other.
"well far away too" said Adam, they were very far from the hallway
"it won't be long before we arrive" said Zahra
"where is your school...?"
"two kilos from this village brother"
"and you walk...?" Adam asked quickly
"no, Zahra was ushered with her faithful father the next day.if you don't have time, Zahra took the ojek"
"ooh, if you walk, a girl as beautiful as you do not walk alone, later kidnapped can be dangerous"
hearing Adam say she was beautiful, Zahra blushed embarrassed even her cheeks were red when it was like Adam, not intended to compete but that was the reality he saw.
the two of them arrived at a house that was walled with boards. In the village there were still people living in such a house and even many.
"assalamualaikum, uncle Ujang" Zahra gave his greetings
"it's like there's no one" Adam said when no one answered Zahra's greeting
"uncle.paman Ujang" Zahra called again.
"uncle Ujang where ya" murmured Zahra
behind the house was a bush and deeper into the forest. Adam looked at the back of the house, saw no one there. already at 5 pm, the sun began to sink in the western horizon.
"uncle Ujang" once again Zahra voiced but there was no affirmation
"we just go home brother, uncle Ujang is not home"
"yes it is"
Adam and Zahra turned around to leave the house but then there was the sound of the door opening.
"son of Zahra" call Mr. Ujang who is standing at the door
Adam and Zahra turned around, they both approached Mr. Ujang.
"uncle Ujang from where, from earlier loh Zahra called uncle" said Zahra
"uncle from the forest behind the house" replied Mr. Ujang
"the clothes in the forest were uncle, there was the serem"
"you still believe in it. This...?" mr. Ujang saw Adam
"i'm Adam's uncle, Deva's friend. I happen to have business with other friends in this place" Adam introduced himself because of course Mr. Ujang was curious about him
"oh, Deva go home now" said Mr. Ujang
"yes uncle, just arrived. Zahra's here to get uncle's fish"
"Well, uncle forgot to bring your mother's fish" Pak Ujang went into his house
"so how many uncles...?" ask Zahra
"40 only"
Zahra reached into the pocket of his pants and gave the money to Mr. Ujang.
(hawa his house is very hot) inner Adam felt the heat from the house of Mr. Ujang
"thank you for Zahra" said Mr. Ujang
"same uncle, we're going home"
"yes"
"ayo brother"
Zahra went first, Adam occasionally looked at Mr. Ujang's house until then they got further and further away from the man's house.
"we stopped at Zahra's friend's house first"
"which one...?"
"uh" Zahra pointed to a light green painted house
"assalamualaikum"
"alaikumsalam"
"loh Zahra, where did...?" a girl of Zahra's age opened the door and asked
"usually, from uncle Ujang's house, I want to return your money" Zahra gave the money to the girl
"hurry up, sometime you can Ra"
"i don't feel good enough"
"who is this anyway...?" Wulan looked towards Adam
"he's Adam's brother Deva's friend" Zahra introduced Adam to Wulan, Adam smiling kindly
"from the city, huh...?" ask Wulan
"yes, how do you know" replied Adam
"because my father was a shaman, hehehe" Wulan laughed softly as well as Adam
"wah the son of Mbah dukun dong, can be dangerous hereafter I was sprayed" joked Adam
"hahaha, brother Adam could have played to my house sometime brother" said Wulan
"maybe, but I came not alone but a company" Adam replied
"it's okay, it's even better, let me have a child friend from the city" Wulan said
"but if we come, it won't be at the same court as your father"
"hahaha, my goodness, you believe my words" Wulan laughed even more.
having just met but both of them already looked very familiar, Zahra even wondered Adam so quickly familiar with others.
"if we go home first Lan, already want magrib" said Zahra
"iya.iya, you guys go home gih. just remember that it's magrib. I want to burn the torch first"
"torch...? there are no lights, right...?" ask Adam
"come home" Wulan did not reply, Zahra immediately pulled Adam to leave the place
on the way home Adam was so astonished, every house, they lit a torch made of bamboo in front of their respective homes. even though electricity had entered the village but why still light the torch, it became a big question mark on Adam's head
