After walking far enough, the four now rest in a hut in the middle of the rice field. What a very cool sight to see. The expanse of green rice plants, the birds are flying freely, and also seen a mountain with a sky that looks bright that afternoon. Although the sun is at its peak but does not feel hot because of the cool air from the many trees.
One thing that is very unfortunate there is the internet network and communication signals are still very difficult. If they want to communicate or access the internet, then they have to go to the village hall which is about 1 km from Grandma Arni's house. Since arriving at the village, Edward and Elli have been unable to contact their family in the city because there is no signal at all.
"Did you not have a cell phone?" ask Edward.
"There's no point in having a cell phone here if there's a network, we have to go to the village hall. Better money to eat too than to buy a cell phone" replied Lutfi's father chuckled softly.
Edward nodded his head confirming what his father had said. It's a waste to buy something that can't even be used at all.
"Honey, what if you just install the tower so that people here can get the internet network. There is also free internet so that this village is not left behind in the digital world" Elli suggested enthusiastically.
"Awhile... It's not that I don't agree, it's just that here if you want to make it like that there must be a permit from the local government. After all, the land that will be used to build towers and other costs must also be considered from where" said Lutfi's father.
Edward and Elli were silent for a while after hearing the obstacles that might include residents here when going to build a tower. The village government is also too indifferent to rural villages and further advance other parts that can benefit the economy is certainly very supported.
This is very visible when the four passed the next village directly adjacent to the village where Lutfi's father lived. Even there have been installed many street lights while in the next village there is no street lighting at all.
"For cost matters don't think about it, Dad. After all Edward was also more than able to build all the adequate facilities without any help from them. I believe that the government here only chooses to advance the village that has a major contribution in the progress of the village's economy" said Edward relaxed.
Lutfi's father inwardly confirmed Edward's words. Moreover, the villagers next door are mostly working in the village government, of course, it will be more highlighted if the area is not progressing. Even for such assistance is always there who get first, while in his village will be given if there is leftovers.
"Stay still, son. Must ask permission first, anyway we want to use the land where?" ask Lutfi's father.
"Dad has empty land? Or there are people here who have vacant and large land. Let Edward later buy for the construction of this tower" asked Edward.
Arni's grandmother and Lutfi's father who had been silent had now thought about Edward's words. Because they have no land or private rice fields, just a simple house is the only treasure they have.
"Mister Badri's got it, Fi. The one in the middle of the village near the field is very spacious especially not to take care. Rather than not being taken care of mending used to build a tower or what is its name. Mumpung Edward wants to finance" said Grandma Arni proposes.
"Alright, we just try to ask Mr. Badri first, the land will be used and sold no" said Lutfi's father.
Edward nodded his head in agreement then they talked about something else with a laugh interspersed. But suddenly Edward asked something that made Lutfi's father and Grandma Arni very surprised.
"Grandma and dad want to come with us to town? Because we can't be here any longer. All of Edward's work was in town" asked Edward.
Grandma Arni looked at her silent child. He knew the inner upheaval of his son if he had to go to the city. From the first, Lutfi's father wanted to pit his fate in the city in order to advance the family's economy, but could not be realized because Granny Arni no one took care of the village. If now, Lutfi's father will be stuck in age to find a job in the city even though he will later join the ride to live with Edward.
"Your father and grandmother live in the village only, Ed. After all, if in the city also I am confused about what work at this age. There will even be nicotine you and your wife" said Lutfi's father.
"Well, are you thinking about work? Edward's money is a lot, we just sit on foot barges and never run out of money. Now is the time for fathers and grandmothers to enjoy old age" Elli said with a little joking.
Edward was not at all offended by Elli's remarks, even he was happy if there were people who wanted to spend the hard work, especially his family. Today, his family also participates in a simple and economical life since there is Elli who regulates the needs of the kitchen. And that makes it a little dizzy since their expenditure is all just 1 in 10 with its income.
"Gee... Edward's money is a lot, son?" ask Grandma Arni in admiration.
"Saking a lot, until there are mushrooming nek because the duration is saved" said Elli joking.
"Wad... If the dish should be washed and dried again, son" said Grandma Arni in a panic.
Everyone just laughed when they found out that Grandma Arni was taking Elli's joke seriously. Elli also tried to calm him down and intended to explain it so as not to misunderstand.
The four of them immediately left the hut after approaching lunchtime. The four will look for more culinary places that are said to be very mandatory to try if visiting there. Edward and Elli also just according to him, after all, both are not choosy people when it comes to food.
On the way, a lot of people greet Grandma Arni and Lutfi's father, ah more precisely towards Edward. They were just stale enough to say hello to the two parents when they just wanted to get attention on Edward. Edward and Elli find out but they are really cute and just give a flat look.
