It's only been a few minutes that Ms. Aida straightened her body on the bed. The middle-aged woman was startled by the ringing of a mobile phone from the nightstand. Which turns out to be from his best friend who lives out of town.
Ms. Mala, a close friend of Bu Aida, told her that her daughter will go to Semarang tomorrow morning for work that is being pioneered by Riris, her daughter Bu Mala.
"Couldn't you please, tomorrow Riris is the same as me stopping by your house there?" ask Ms. Mala to make small talk.
"By, dong. It can be really. I will be happy to be mined by Njenengan and family here. It's an honor for Ms. Mala to stop by here" Ms. Aida replied expectantly.
"Yes, Jeng. See you tomorrow, yeah." Ms. Mala hung up the phone from there.

It was almost 6am and a half, but there was no sign of Sumi coming out of her room. Making Bu Aida to be surprised and added a snatch. Then the woman rushed to Sumi's room and half banged on the door of the housekeeper's room. Ask him to go outside the room immediately.
"Sumi ... ! What are you doing inside? Look, it's noon. It's clear there's not a single job you've done yet" shouted Bu Aida in front of Sumi's bedroom door.
Sumi who was still wrapped in a thick blanket was stunned to hear the screams of the master. Then he threw his blanket in any direction and struggled to open the door.
"You're not up yet, Sumi?" hardik bu Aida's.
'I ... Yes, Ma'am, uh, His. I went to bed again, uh, falling asleep meant." Sumi answered without guilt.
"When I woke up half-three nights ago, really, for the tahajud prayer. So the dawn prayer was very sleepy," he explained.
"Hey, Sumi! You are the intention to come to my house for what work for the mesantren? This clock is still sitting in the room with the excuse of sleepy to wake up at night you said."
"Work, tho, His, Ma'am," replied Sumi.
"Him, Ma, His, Ma. I'm shabu" said Ms. Aida.
"Ma'af, Ma'am, Yes."
"Goddess ... Already, already. Now hurry to the kitchen to make breakfast and do all the homework to completion!" bu Aida's edict as it passed left Sumi still pecking at the doorway. Her lips were turned to the left and to the right mimicking the words of Bu Aida just now.
"Dueh ... Got a gini master very, yes. Disturb people again feel good dreams. It turns out that people work at home there is no beauty," Sumi murmured. Lazily he stepped towards his bed. Folding the blanket and tidying up his messy bed.
Bu Aida approached Sumi who was now standing in confusion in front of the stove.
"You can make fried rice, right?" ask Ms. Aida later.
Sumi only grinnedly bared her teeth which were lined up in a radiant white. "No, ma'am," he replied innocently.
Bu Aida breathed a heavy sigh. Then he said, "Yes, already. Now your job is to mop. Let me make breakfast."
"Yes, where, ma'am, the broom and the mopping tool. I haven't seen it from yesterday?" ask Sumi.
"At Mr. Lurah's house, take it! Yeah, find, lah, Sumi ... My time should be nyariin." Ms. Aida was almost as long as facing the young woman. If only his intention was not because he wanted to have friends in his house, maybe the middle-aged woman had told Sumi to go straight back to her village.
Because he really needs friends and does not dare to live alone in the house of Bu Aida trying to accept the presence of Surti staupun Sumi who wants to work at his home.
Sumi rushed towards the backyard to search for the items she needed. After that, start doing the work one by one until it is finished.
"Yes, Sumi. Later in the afternoon we will have a special guest. To welcome it I have to entertain them with a lot of food," said Ms. Aida after they finished their breakfast together.
"Ready, Mom," replied Sumi shortly.
Bu Aida then told Sumi to boil the cassava leaves that she had bought at the market. Ms. Aida plans to make her favorite coconut milk leaf vegetable, Ms. Mila, her old best friend, who will visit her home later this afternoon. While he himself went to the fruit store to buy some kind of fruit to stock in his refrigerator that had begun to empty.
After the departure of the master. Then Sumi began to take a large bundle of cassava leaves and immediately put it in a small pot and then given one dipper water. But, it turns out that a large number of cassava leaves can not be put in the pot. Sumi started to confuse herself. He replaced it with a pot that was a bit large size that hung on the kitchen wall. Fill half the water into a large pot and then put cassava leaves that are still attached to the stalk.
However, the result remains the same. Can not be put all until the water in the pot overflows because it is crammed with cassava leaves that soar high. He resigned until Bu Aida returned home and asked the results.
"It's finished boiling, right, the cassava leaves?" ask Bu Aida to make sure.
"No, ma'am," Sumi replied while grinning the horse.
"What's? And then you just did what?" Bu Aida rushed towards the kitchen and saw the large pot that is used to cook rice in large quantities was already hanging on the stove filled with cassava leaves that lined up.
Aida's mom is upset to find Sumi's job like that.
"Do you really not know how to boil cassava leaves?" tanyanya held back in annoyance.
"Yes, Mom. I don't know yet" replied Sumi innocently.
Then Bu Aida grabbed a medium-sized pot and filled the water in half and heated it on the stove after the water was boiling then he told Sumi to put all the cassava leaves into it. Sumi also did the order of the master. This time he did not feel such distress as earlier because the cassava leaves he entered immediately withered slightly when touched by boiling hot water.
"That's how it is, Non. If the cassava leaves are entered into cold water until the leafan was yes, it will not be able to. Even the water is spilling everywhere," said Bu Aida glanced resentfully at Sumi.
"Yes, Mom. Excuse me. I'm not experienced yet" Sumi replied casually.
"Jaudah let my mother be the nerusin. Let me do something else" Sumi said later.
Ms. Aida could only stroke her chest. Seeing the attitude and behavior of the strange woman he had just met.
"You're actually the son of the sultan what about Sumi? Time boiled cassava leaves alone can not." Aida continued to grumble alone in the kitchen.
While Sumi chose to look for other activities.
