Along the way home, Sani could not stop thinking about the words of women in the market earlier. Every thought, it just makes the curiosity even greater.
Once home, Asih directly entered and returned the equipment that was finished in use to its place.
Shortly after, Asih came out carrying the food he bought on his way home! He joined, approaching Sani who was sitting relaxed in the amben front of the house.
One by one, he placed the food wrapped in banana leaves on their plates.
"San? Here, I have your food prepared!" Say Asih while offering Sani's food.
The Asih plan began to put food into his mouth, enjoying the fruits of his labors today. He chewed the food in his mouth for a while, before swallowing it then!
"Hey... San, let's eat fast. You're not hungry?" Asih rebuked Sani who still silenced her food.
And usually Sani is a person who is never late, when dealing with food! Really not usually...!
"Sani's... Don't you like the food?" tegur Asih.
But again there was no sign of reaction from Sani. Ah.. Enough already! Asih was very anxious to see Sani who from just now was just silently sculpting!
"Sannni!"
"Haah? Aaa.. What's up?" sahut Sani stammered.
"You're daydreaming, yeah"
"Ti's... Just tiddak!"
"Then why is your expression so shocked?"
"Ah... I'm just surprised that you yelled at me!"
"I'm not yelling at you! But you didn't hear me!"
"Haha? Did ya? I'm sorry Asih"
"What are you really thinking?"
"It's nothing. I was just thinking about something... "
"You serious? What's different about daydreaming?"
"Hahahaha, I guess it's different...?"
"Since then, I've noticed you seem busy with yourself! What the hell is it? Don't pout that way! You look ugly when you pout. Just talk what are you thinking?! "
"Ah... It's not really anything serious, though, kok! It's just, somehow I keep thinking about the woman's words."
"Nyimas at the market just now, you mean?"
"Yes." Yeah."
"Halaahs... You are just there! Never mind, we're eating now... "
"Can't, Asih! I kept feeling weird every time I heard them say anything about my condition before. How bad was my condition?"
"It's so bad, until you never get out of the house... "
"Current? You know about my condition too?"
"Yes, that's how you feel from the news I've heard."
"Wait...! Does that mean you don't see my condition directly?"
Asih nodded in lethargy!
"Ah? But why don't you come see me?"
"Polem... How's ya...? Actually, it's not that I'm not worried about hearing from you there. But until now, I could only continue to worry about you without ever being able to visit you... "
"Why not?"
"While I want it so much... But how do I go there? You know, how am I doing here?"
"Ah... Yes Asih. Sorry, I forgot about that!"
"I, who should be apologizing to you Sani... I should have tried harder. I should have been able to collect and sell more vegetables, so that I could raise more money, and... "
Asih hung his words with eyes that began to look teary.
"And?"
"And what else? Yeah, of course, so I could hire a horse-drawn carriage, to take me to visit you. "
"Haha.... Yes, I believe you're a good friend of Asih."
"Well, that's you know?"
"Haha... But now I'm here, right? Come on, tell me you're sorry you didn't go see me." Sani's temptation on Asih which is almost 'girl'.
"It turns out that you were just playing me, right? Watch out!"
"Haha... Now you're angry?! You're quick to change your mood, aren't you?"
"Yaaa..... It's up to you!"
"Now quickly finish your meal, before we go to the bath!"
"A river?"
"Don't start again...Just eat it fast...!" fierce answer.
"Yes... Yes, it's me eating...."

Sani walked slowly following Asih who walked first to guide him.
They can not walk quickly, because the road they have been through since a little meandering and also slippery.
Sani could not imagine how tired, an Asih every day was. Starting from harvesting vegetables, going to the market, then to take a shower, he had to take this difficult road? Poor Asih.
.

"Well look... Tau-tau it's crowded, San?!"
Sani looked at Asih's hand which pointed towards the River. It seems that there are many other women who have soaked or just washed clothes there. They all wear a pullcloth wrapped around the chest to the knees.
It didn't take long for Sani and Asih to finally join them.
"Eh... Asih...!" said one of the women who took a shower, saying hello.
"Who is that? Your buddy?"
"It's Sani...! You're forgetting?"
The others also began to look and observe the two of them.
"Loh, this is Sani.... "
"Yes, right! That sani!" sahut Asih firmly.
"Ohhhalaaa... Who were you, San?"
"Ah, yes... It's me!" sani said shyly towards them.
"How are you? Is it okay?"
Sani nodded, like he knew where they were talking! Sure, about his condition again?
"Waaah... You're getting pretty now, San?
I got to pangling loh?"
"Yes obviously pangling, is now she more beautiful, right? Lah wong, his life now right, is already like a princess? Isn't that right, San?" other women began to lash out.
Sani gets awkward and doesn't know what to answer?
"It's been... It's already! Look, you're just making Sani uncomfortable... " She said as soon as she realized the change in the look of Sani's face.
"Sorry San, we're just kidding!"
Sani just nodded and smiled, not knowing what to say.

Asih and Sani started soaking the body while occasionally rubbing it. Sani, who is used to bathing with the help of a aunt, looks difficult when rubbing the back of his body.
"San, can I help you rub your back?"
"Ah, may...!"
"Wait a minute, I'll be right back. "
Asih put his entire body into the water for a while, then reappeared carrying a stone as big as a toddler's fist.
"Stone?"
Asih nodded!
"But what's that for?"
"Aahh.. You're this! Hurryhere... "
Slowly, Asih began rubbing Sani's back with the stone he got.
Whoa, miraculous...?
Dirt and legs on his back can fall like when wearing a scrub? While the soft rub of the stone feels like a relaxing massage on his back. Really amazing?
Up and down, Asih rubbed his stone very well. Sani just knew, that a stone can be made a tool to clean themselves? Whoa... It's great!
"Ohhhhh!"
"eeh,... Aaa... Ouch Sani. Sorry huh? I was not intentionally... "
Asih panicked, because Sani suddenly squealed in pain!
"That was... What are you doing?!"
"Haah? I didn't do anything! Really!" answer Asih feel guilty.
"But my neck was hot, when you rubbed it... "
"aaa... Whahuh? But that's not possible? Really Sani, I just rubbed your back and accidentally grazed your chain. I really don't know why your neck hurts?" regret is getting more guilty.
"Anything weird, but just grazing? But why is my neck burning, hot?" sani murmured softly.
"Sani, I'm so sorry! But I really did nothing but clean your back with this stone." Continue Asih who still looks very sorry.
"Yes, I believe!"
"Is your neck still hurting?"
"No! It was fortunate that the pain was only fleeting, just now."
"Aahhhhhhhhhh... Weird too?"
Klaapp! Klaapp!
"Eh... What'sthat?"
Samar Sani saw that there was a bright purple shining object at the bottom of the water.
"What Sani? You see what?"
"That, that twinkles there.... You didn't see it, Asih?"
Asih simply shook her head, looking at Sani in surprise. Again, klapp! Klapp! Ah, it's shining brighter.
"Sih, wait here for a second. I'll take it for you."
"Agdgh... Not necessary! It might be dangerous...!"
"No! Waita minute!"
"Sani....! Wait, um,.. Hey...!"
Sani who was very curious, immediately went into the water to ascertain what objects he saw.
The object seemed to shine even more, as Sani's distance began to close! Sani's hand had already managed to grab the thing, when he suddenly felt a whirlpool rolling his body!
Sani continued to swim trying to get out of the whirlpool that was getting stronger swallowing his body!
'Aghhh, No...! Asih, help me...! '
His mouth screamed, but no sound came out at all.
The whirlpool continued to grow and revolve around it! Sani could not stand it and let the water roll and swallow his body.
