Shiro looked at the countryside with awe and nostalgia.
Lidya looked at Shiro with a smile, "Welcome to my Cindy tribe residence."
Shiro enters Cindaku village accompanied by Lidya. He looked at the countryside with nostalgia, in accordance with the picture of a village in his head.
Many residents were seen sitting telling stories, there were old women who were sifting rice, weaving clothes, knitting and many more.
The rustic feel is very felt here. As he walked, Shiro felt the cool air of the countryside accompanied by the sounds of Seruking that he could hear. Especially seen from traditional clothes and their homes. Wooden houses made of planks and woven rattan, there are also some that house the stage.
Their custom clothing also looks very Ken with their culture. The priest wears trousers wrapped around a traditional sarong, without the use of a top. For the women, their clothes were quite polite, and for the old women, most only used Sarong or Kain as their clothes.
Shiro's arrival initially surprises the locals, but then they smile kindly to Shiro. He also returned the smiles of the people.
The rural atmosphere is very thick with local customs make Shiro very comfortable here.
"How are you feeling?" ask Lidya.
Shiro smiled and nodded lightly, "The satisfaction is very good, it feels like coming home."
"Why if you stay here," Lidya bargained to Shiro in an inviting tone.
But Shiro shook his head, "No, I can only stay for a day, I still need to travel elsewhere."
Hearing the rejection from Jack, Lidya looked down miserably. They continued to tour the village of Cindaku.
They were both in a large semi-stage wooden house. An old man came to them.
The stature of the old man is quite bent with a stick in his hand. In addition, both his hair, mustache, and beard were gray, yet looked neat and dashing.
"Son Lidya, who is this young man ? I've never seen him in the village" asked the Sepuh.
"Oh, grandfather, he is our savior. They helped us defeat the enemy. As a sign of gratitude and because he was looking for a place to rest, I took him to the village."
The old grandfather then looked at Shiro with a sharp look. Before long, he relaxed his gaze, "Okay, fine."
Lidya was happy to get the agreement, then she remembered something. "Oh, I just remembered. Grandpa, this is Zero. Zero, this is Grandpa Tenkas, Chieftain of our village."
When Lidya introduced the two, Shiro did not extend his hand as usual during the acquaintance. Due to a sense of modesty and perhaps differences in customs and traditions, Shiro bent down and put his hands together. "Hello Grandpa Brief, I'm Zero. Greetings Know And Please Permission to spend the night here."
Grandfather Succas only nodded expressionlessly, even so, he admired Shiro's courtesy. "All right, go inside. There's still an empty room in this house." Appoint Grandfather to the House in front of them.
Shiro smiled warmly and invited Senior Grandfather to lead the way. He followed Grandpa Tengkas who led him into the house.
"Son Zero, this is your temporary living room. Hope you're at home. Don't forget, it's dinner time soon, please come to the dining room."
After Grandpa Tingkas escorted Shiro to his room, he left.
Shiro could only enter the room and change into a casual outfit. Then He went to the Dining Room that Senior Grandfather had said before.
Shiro walked to the Dining Room, where he saw the passing of several women who were arranging food on the dining table, including Lidya. For his Priya, there was only the Brief Grandfather, one middle-aged man, one teenager, and 2 children.
"Son Zero, please sit down. Let's eat."
An old woman came and called Shiro. I don't know who the old lady knew her name was. Maybe it was Grandpa Tengkas or Lidya who told him. Shiro smiled politely, then he sat down on one of the empty seats there.
Before long, all the dishes had been served on the table, all the members of the Family had gathered, sitting facing the food on the table.
Then they all began to eat dishes on the table, including Shiro. They ate in full harmony, without the slightest sound. Until the food ran out, only the sound when scooping was heard, except for the two small children who were struggling with chicken thighs.
Yes, tonight, they all ate the Chicken Pindang Gulai. With a variety of vegetables such as Eggplant and Cassava Leaves, complete accompanied by the Raw Sambel Ijo.
After eating, they were busy returning to their own business. The women wash the dishes, and many men are out at night or just sitting on the porch of the house.
As for Shiro, he returned to his room and fell asleep.
Either because of the comfortable atmosphere, Shiro slept quite well. Even so, Early in the Day, He had already woken up. He was used to getting up early, so it was only natural that he would wake up early.
Even though the condition is still a bit dark, but the House of the Chieftain is already quite crowded, many have begun to move, especially women.
Shiro walked out of the house, and was about to sit on the porch of the house. But when He opened the door, He saw the Chief of the Closest Tribe sitting on the terrace looking at the dark village scenery accompanied by two cups of coffee.
Shiro was about to close the door and return to his room, but Grandfather Summarized suddenly called out to him. "Son, please sit down, don't worry."
Hearing Grandpa Tingkas' words, Shiro turned around and sat down on the terrace close to him. Grandpa Tingkas continued to look at the scenery of the village and offered one of the coffee cups that were still full.
"Thank you, Cake !" shiro said politely.
"Slurpp~ Ah~"
Shiro took a sip of the coffee and followed by looking at the countryside in front of him. But the difference is, He is more surprised to see the stars in the sky than to look at the atmosphere of the countryside.
Although Shiro did not like Black Coffee very much, he did not hate it. This kind of atmosphere is suitable for coffee and whipping. But he doesn't have a cigarette here.
Both of them were silent, they focused on looking in the same direction, but with different targets.
A few minutes passed, suddenly Shiro asked something as a means of breaking down interests.
"Grandfather, may I ask you something ?"
Without changing his expression, Grandfather Succinctly replied in a flat tone, "What do you want to ask ?"
Shiro was a bit hesitant to talk about it, He was afraid that his words would offend the Chief. For fear of causing trouble, he wanted to change the topic of another conversation.
He had not yet asked, Grandfather's voice sounded in his ears. "No need to doubt, son. Please just ask what's in your turn, don't be afraid."
"Huh~" Shiro sighed lightly, and ventured to ask.
"Grandfather, you're not the people of this world, are you ?"
