TRUE LOVE For MAYA
MUST BE SINCERE

It had been a week since his arrival to the city of M. A village where the late father's sister lives. Since marriage, the aunt in boyong her husband returned to his hometown.

Decades of feeling, living life in a big city as a worker of one of the textile factories. The uncle who is native and comes from central Java, after marriage decided to go home.

Buy some vacant plots of land that he bought from severance money to be managed as a field of onion farming.

Simple life living in the village with a search eye as an onion farmer, making the old Bibik never returned to his hometown in west Java.

Flashback/on arrival of Maya

The address recorded in his little book. Maya came to a village far enough from the big terminal in Kota M. He still had to connect, using a small bus transportation to get to the village where the Bibik lived.

He stood staring at the simple house with a spacious yard. Pinching the bag, Maya steps her feet closer to the tightly closed door.

Maya said her greeting with her raised hand knocking on the door. 3 times the greeting she said with a knock she still did.. There was a sound coming from inside with footsteps approaching.

Klekka..

The brown wooden door opened. Standing on the doorstep of a teenage boy who Maya estimates is the same age as her sister.

Correcting the glasses, the teenager jumped in disbelief as he realized who the woman standing before him was.

"Maya's mother?" the teenager made sure

"You're Andika, right?" Maya smiled back asking. The last time they met was 10 years ago when the father was still there, and brought him to this village to visit the younger brother. Dika was 8 years old and Maya was 16. After that they only sent word through voice and message. Sometimes greet each other through social media.

"Oahhhh.. ! I'm pangling Ma'am. Think the artist is coming ? Usually beautiful women appear in this village."

"You're getting smarter, you know a beautiful woman."

Welcomed laughter from Dika.

"That's Ma'am.. He is no longer a child."

"Yes, I believe. You must be the most handsome man in this village, too?"

"Mastly Mommy."

"Come on Ma'am." Just let's talk when I forgot to tell Maya to come in.

"Sleeping dog Dik?" Maya asked as she sat on the rattan chair..

"Father same Mother is still in the field Mbak, dhuhur will only be back. Just wait, or Maya breaks in Dania's room. The journey from Jakarta must be tired.."

Whether tired from the trip or indeed overnight on the bus, Maya is not too deep, sleeping leaning on a chair with a restless heart and a mind that always remembers the Linga.

He woke up when he smelled the smell of cooking. There was a blanket covering her body. Getting out of bed, Maya walks towards the kitchen at the back.

Maya sees the figure of a woman cooking who is none other than the father's sister.. "Big.." Maya greets you first.

"Neng.." woman with a face similar to that of the father. Reminds Maya of the figure of her father who has gone home. Deadly the woman's stove turned around by hugging Maya,

"How are you Neng? O God, how long ago did Neng, Bibik not see you?" a single tear represents a sense of haru in the hearts of both. Distance, time, and circumstances separate them as a family.

"Maya is healthy Bik." said Maya after her embrace unraveled.

"How's Umi doing, Neng?"

"Alhamdulillah Umi healthy Bik."

"Sorry Bibik and your Uncle, May. We haven't been able to visit Umi and your sisters and can't attend your wedding. This is how Auntie is, May. We can't leave the fields for long. You know your uncle's income only from farming for living expenses and school Dika, Dania, and Daksa."

"Yes, Bik.. Maya understands."

"But Alhamdulillah, now there are the needs of Dika and Dania schools.. Daksa is independent and working. But not married, wait for his sisters to graduate first he said."

"Alhamdulillah Bik, Maya was happy to hear it."

Removing the longing, the Bibik tells of his children who became cousins Maya

"Bibik and your uncle's hard work paid off with Daksha's success, May. Daksha can already help the needs of her sisters."

Maya was touched to hear her aunt's words. Had he been, went to college and did not marry Haris immediately. Maybe he will also help the needs of his brothers. But it's useless to regret that everything happened. He should be able to continue his life in a new place.

"You know you're here, Neng? And why didn't your husband come?"

The woman named Himala asked. With Maya who was silent.

"No Bik, please don't tell Umi for a while." Maya looked at the aunt with a plea.

"What's up Neng? Is there a problem?" the woman guides Maya to sit on the wooden chair of the dining table.

"Just like Bibik, Neng. What's up?" the woman asked again, Bik Hima urged Maya to tell a story

"May.. Emm.. Maya is divorced Bik."

"Astagfirullahal'azim, Neng.. From when?"

Maya must finally tell the true events to the Bibik who she considers her mother. He was resigned if the aunt would be angry with him. He does not want lies to cover up his mistakes.

"Neng wrong.. But Bibik is proud Neng wants to admit mistakes. Bibik also will not accept Neng Maya treated like that by Haris and his family. As parents, they are also disappointed with their attitude. Even if it's hard but we still have Neng's pride.."

"Why not tell Umi? Bibik sure Umi will understand. A mother doesn't want her daughter wasted."

"It's all happened, Neng.. Don't be too thoughtful, Neng will be sick.. It has become the line and path of Neng Maya life like this. Must be sincere, hopefully there will come a better soul mate who can make you happy, Neng."

"Stay here, Neng.. Your aunt is here.. Your presence is like a Bibik-inducing remedy to your father."

"Thank you, Bik.. I want to take Maya.. Tomorrow Maya's gonna start looking for work."

"job? If in this village all residents raise and farm Neng.. More jobs in the city. Just rest, don't rush. Wait for Daksa to come home from her duties, you can ask her. Who knows Daksa has acquaintances or vacancy info that requires workers."

"Yes, Bik.."

°°°°°

And today, Maya has been leaving Jakarta for a week and is in a cool village waiting for Daksha's return. Cousin whose age is not far away with it, today is off and time to return home. During his stint in Daksa City lived in a dormitory.

Early in the morning, Maya had woken up to help her aunt in the kitchen prepare breakfast for the family. Dika and Dania are going to school, while Maya plans to join the Bibik to the field.

No work, making Maya feel bored being at home alone. He'll also see the work his aunt offered him last night. While not getting a job in the city. Maya will work as an onion peeler in one of the fields owned by the village head.
