“Mbok!” The two boys galloped towards Binar. They threw bamboo woven baskets that were on their backs carelessly, because they were too excited. Vishnu and Praya were so happy to see the existence of Binar there.
“Mbok, when to come?”
“I miss, Mbok.”
Vishnu and Praya exclaimed at each other. They rushed simultaneously towards the girl, and were immediately greeted by Binar.
“Mbok just arrived. You guys how are you? You're all healthy, ‘kan?” Binar cupped the faces of the two boys in turn. He then carefully looked at their faces. Same thing as his two brothers.
“Mbok getting beautiful. Like a city person,” chirps Praya. The boy ignored Binar's question.
“Gosh.” The girl was wide-eyed until her dimples were clearly visible. “You guys from where? Aren't you guys in school?” ask Binar.
“We just got home from school, Mbok. Usually also like this, after arriving at home we immediately work in the coffee garden owned by father Parta,” explained Vishnu.
“Lumayan to add pocket money, Mbok,” Praya continued.
“Iya. Mom now works odd jobs. Sometimes a washing worker or a cleaner in the villa, Mbok,” continued Vishnu again.
“Villa who?” tanya Binar while linking eyebrows.
“Villa's got some bule people around here. What mbok want to see? Come on, I'll show you! Their villa is great, Mbok! I was invited in by my mother and told to help her work,” replied Vishnu enthusiastically. He also pulled the hand of Binar to follow him immediately.
“Wait, wait! Have you eaten yet?” Binar prevents Vishnu who eagerly invites him to leave the backyard.
“Numbered, Mbok. We were directly to the garden,” answered Praya while grimacing funny.
Vishnu immediately turned his body towards Binar. “What do we eat first, just take a walk to the villa? But it seems like mom didn't cook. I'll make you some instant noodles, yeah." Vishnu looked to be scratching his head.
Binar shook his head with a dislike look. “You often eat instant noodles?” tanyakanya.
“Mother rarely cooks, Mbok,” says Praya half whisper. She didn't want Widya to be that temperament until she heard what she said.
“Yes, geez.” Binar snorted in annoyance. “Ya, already then you guys follow Mbok. We eat outside. Mbok who treat,” invite Binar who was immediately greeted by the cheers of the two boys. They look excited, to walk while jumping up and down.
However, the cheerful steps came to a halt, when Praya saw the figure of Arsenio standing in front of the kitchen door. “Halo,” greet Arsenio while waving. His face looks so warm and friendly.
“Mister!” vishnu and Praya simultaneously. They were both stupefied and did not expect that Arsenio was also there. “Kok Mister can be here?” The brothers shrouded Arsenio's tall body.
“Ya, can dong. I brought your brother here. Didn't I promise?” arsenio replied with a calm smile.
“Rain.” Embarrassed, Binar approached and whispered into the ear to his lover. “I want to take them to a good meal. Coincidentally, the pocket money I brought from Bali was still a lot left. My salary as a model at that time was still intact.”
Arsenio retorted her lips closer to Binar's ear, then whispered, “Save your money. I'll practice them.”
Binar shook his head strongly. “Do not! You have to save money,” whispered again while glaring.
While Vishnu and Praya can only look at two people who argue with each other in turn.
“You're whispering what, anyway?” sela Praya's.
“We so eat-eat, ‘kan?” Vishnu's eyes were round with impatience.
“So, dong!” reply Binar and Arsenio together.
“Eh, but ..” Binar looked at Arsenio meaningfully. “We walk up what?”
“Oh, yes.” Arsenio just remembered if they came to the place using a rented motorbike. It is impossible to feel if you have to meet four people at once. Moreover, the body of Vishnu and Praya has grown bigger. “What around here is a car rental?” ask Arsenio.
“Oh it's easy, Mister. We borrow Rudolf's car,” cetus Vishnu.
“Who is he?” Binar frowned while folding his hands on his chest.
“He who has a nice villa near here, Mbok. That guy's so nice. I often get paid to wash the car. Om Rudolf said that I could ask him anything for help. I happen to have never asked for help. So, can I take advantage of this time,” explained Vishnu with his flexible speech style like a politician.
“Ya, already then. Wait what else. Take me there, Vishnu. Binar, you wait here" said Arsenio. He grabbed onto the shoulder of the increasingly visible Junior High boy and took him to the terrace, where Arsenio parked the bike. “You guys put this motor and bag on him. It's okay, ‘kan?”
“Oh it's okay, Mister." Vishnu jumped into the back seat excitedly, after Arsenio turned on the engine. He became a pointer to the Dutch man until he arrived in front of a magnificent ethnic-style house. The building is made of exposed brick and is equipped with wooden pillars attached to the wall. Everything adds to the impression of luxury as well as artistic.
“Let me open the gate, Mister.” Vishnu jumped down and opened wide shiny wooden gates that were quite high. Inside there, there was a path that split the green grass welcoming the brand back then. Arsenio came down and guided his motorbike, following the twists of the stone-lined path, until he arrived at the wide-looking terrace.
“Om Rudolf usually invites village children to play in this place every afternoon. He also always lends his books to be read by children,” explained Vishnu while pointing the index finger towards the lined shelves that are attached to the brick fence surrounding the terrace. The shelves are full of children's books.
“Hm.” Arsenio nodded while giving a look around. However, his gaze came to a halt at the entrance to the house, which suddenly just moved and opened.
“Hey, who's there?” ask the guy who just got out of there.
“Om Rudolf, I want to collect an appointment!” vishnu exclaimed with a big smile, making Arsenio turn her head and look at her astonishment.
“You are that, Vishnu?” The man named Rudolf walked over. “Who is he?”
Arsenio's eyes turned to Rudolf. He watched the man who had the same height as him. Based on Arsenio's estimates, the man was around the late thirty or early forties. Her eyes were bright blue with a charming smile. “Hallo, ich bin Arsenio (Halo, my name is Arsenio).” Binar's lover reached out.
Rudolf was shocked and wide-eyed. Unexpectedly, the handsome man standing before him could speak in German. “Kommst du auch aus deutschland (Are you also from Germany)?” he shook Arsenio's hand.
“No, it's just that I stayed in Germany for a long time. I used to go to college and work there” replied Arsenio, still in German.
“Aah, then what is your relationship with Vishnu?” Rudolf pointed his index finger at Arsenio and Vishnu in turn.
“Er ist mein Schwager (She's my sister-in-law),” replied Arsenio with a smile.
