The flight took over an hour, Nina finally arrived in Semarang. At the airport she is picked up by Parman with her son Dayat, who is also the same age as Nina. Parman is the younger brother of Pratiwi's mother Nina, who is currently caring for her grandmother in the village.
Along the way Nina really enjoy the beauty of the city of Semarang, the car they ride drove into the village road to the house of Grandma Darmi.
Green rice fields make the eyes feel fresh. When he was a kid, every time he came here he was most happy to join Om Parman to the rice fields looking for snails for duck feed. Playing with mud makes him very happy, a game that is not found while in Jakarta. The car slowly stopped in an old building.
This house has changed a lot, Nina is implying.
This house was not walled like it is now. The spacious courtyard with several fruit trees had still not changed. A tree was bearing fruit beside the house.
Nina got out of the car, an old woman was thronged out to welcome her granddaughter.
"*Tick*u!!" the old woman was happy.
(puguku \= my grandson)
"Embah!"

Nina ran to hug Mbah Darmi. Parman and Dayat pulled out the luggage and brought it into the house.
"Lo, you yourself Pratiwi did not melu?" ask Mbah Darmi.

"Mama can't come, there's more work in Jakarta" replied Nina.
"That you miss your mama, yo wes is okay, the important thing is that you come Mbah is happy."

Dayat nodded and smiled, Nina replied with a friendly smile.
"Yes, but falling out, Parman was busy in the rice fields did not have time to drift, try to see there the same Dayat," said Mbah Darmi.

Nina put down the sling bag, then opened the shoes to replace it with flip-flops to make it more free to move.
"Yep, let's go for the guava!" take Nina on Dayat.
"Corn!" sahut Dayat happy.
They ran around to the side of the house, where the water guava tree was.
"But I'll take the pole first, yes Ma'am," said Dayat.
Dayat rushed to take the pole behind the house, Nina who was impatient immediately climbed the guava tree.
"Well, that's a lot of red ants!" dayat shouted to warn his cousin.
Dayat began to take guava fruit using a pole. Nina just realized that the guava tree was a lot of red ants, spontaneously she jumped down, there were some who had started to bite. The taste of the red ant bite was so hot and itchy. Dayat giggles to see his cousin in pain bitten by an ant.
"Eh kampret, bantuin even mengkawarain. Look out for you!" sulk Nina is upset.
"Bak bandel anyway, told to wait no patience to play up!" Dayat helps pick up some ants in Nina's shirt.
"Opo to Le?" Mbah Darmi looked up from the window, hearing a commotion beside the house.

"Bak Nina is covered in ants, Mbah!" Dayat still chuckles.

"Be careful Nduk, many ants. *K*ono love wasp oil first let not gatel," said Mbah Darmi.

Dayat ran into the house to get oil, then smeared the legs and hands of Nina who was bitten by ants.
"That's hot and itchy ant bite." Nina grimaced feeling the heat in her body.
"That's an angkrang ant, must be the heat of the bite. Sister Nina just sat in the pendopo, let Dayat take her gamble," said Dayat.
Nina said she chose to sit on the pendopo waiting for Dayat to get her a guava.
Oh yeah just remember not ngabarin mama when it arrived at Nek Darmi's house. Nina took a mobile phone, then took a photo of her legs and hands reddened by being bitten by ants to be uploaded to social media. The kids of today.
"Ma, Nina has arrived at Grandma's house" said Nina.
"Oh, thank God, honey, Grandma's healthy, right?" pratiwi asked his son.
"Ma, Grandma said she misses Mamah, Mama wants to talk to Grandma?" ask Nina.
"Let Mama call Grandma directly. Mama still has meetings" said Pratiwi
"Ok Ma, see you," said Nina before ending her phone call.
Dayat came near Nina carrying a bag of crackles filled with water guava, the sweat of the young man splashed on her neck and hands.
"Gee!" Nina jumped up in excitement.
They both ate water guava in the pendopo while telling stories, and devised a plan of sightseeing during Nina's holiday in this village.
Nina had been hunting the places she would visit via the internet. He showed the list to Dayat, and the young man agreed to take him wherever he wanted to go.
Mumpung there is a chance for Nina Dayat to enjoy the holidays, usually if the holiday season is only spent to help her parents in the rice fields.
Before Nina came, Pratiwi had asked Dayat to take her son around, he had also given her a reward for the pocket money.
This holiday in addition to Nina, Dayat was also happy, rarely he could hold a lot of money, at most hold twenty thousand dollars, that was also gas money and school allowance, he said, if Mbah Darmi gives money is usually saved to buy clothes during Lebaran, or for school purposes.
