"Neng Maya really want to come to the field?" bibik's husband Handoko asked
"Yes, Mang." Maya nosedives
"In the hot field of Neng." although native to Java, the man still called Maya with the same call as his wife.
Same with Maya. Calling it Mamang.
"It's okay, Mang.. Most also black." wearing long pants and long-handed t-shirts, do not forget Maya wearing a round hat of woven bamboo.
"Leave it, Kang.. Let's just say we teach Maya farming. Just wash your eyes. Today our village is honored as a village that succeeds in developing and producing the best onions. Which will be covered by the media."
"In the fields must be crowded. Even some farmers will be interviewed."
°°°°°
It's not just the male workers who don't blink to see Maya. Women workers are the same. They were amazed at the presence of a beautiful woman with clean skin without blemishes.
Although dress up and look ordinary, does not reduce the charm. Rarely, even very rarely a woman they consider as a woman from the city would go down directly to the field let alone peel the onions.
"Ko, who is it?" one of the men asked
"He's my nephew, just came from Jakarta. And want to work."
"Aduhhh Ma'am.. Later his hands scuffed.. So my wife alone, there's no need to tire of working." Another male worker teases Maya.
"Mbang Mbang's.. Your speech! Are you ready to bring a machete by Surti?" one of the female workers chimed in and was greeted with laughter from other workers
"Don't fuck around" the aunt showed me a fist.
"Mbakyu.. I'm a guyon." that guy named Bambang grinned while scratching his head. "But if acquaintances can, right? Fellow workers should be compact and get to know each other. Is that right, Mommy?"
"Yes, Sir.." Maya just smiled politely in response.
"Lohh.. Don't you call him. Call MAS BAMBANG." the guy looks funny and likes to joke.
"Be careful with crocodile kali Mbak." a woman who still looks young chimed in. "Here sits near me." the woman gave Maya a wooden bench to sit near.
"My name is Rahayu." the woman reached out
"Yes.." Maya welcomes the outstretched hand of a woman who looks friendly to her.
A sturdy building similar to a spacious tent is prepared in the middle of the fields of onion farmers. The building belongs to the village head as a container or commonly called a middleman. The village chief bought the crops from the farmers. Which will be processed into fried onions as an effort.
He employs his people as onion peelers. After the onion is clean from the skin, it will only be brought to the production house to be processed further.
"My niece please be taught how to peel the right onion, Madam Rayu." Bik Himala left Maya before he went to his farm not too far from the tent.
"Yes Buk.. Don't worry."
Rahayu gives a small knife and cloth gloves to Maya, the woman begins to teach Maya. Getting new knowledge, Maya just know the right way in peeling onions so that the inner layer is not wasted.
An hour sitting together. Maya begins to recognize some of the workers' names.. His arrival to join was welcomed by all. Especially a guy named Bambang. There's something in his language. The man always makes the other workers always laugh so that Maya also can not hold back her laughter. The innocent faces of the rupiah seekers seemed to be helping each other and friendly. Makes Maya forget her problem for a moment.
Passing two hours in the fields, the village chief and his group of uniformed men and media crew, known as journalists, came into the middle of the fields.
The village leader explained the search for 70% of its citizens as onion farmers. And the man also explained his business as a middleman who employs the residents as onion peelers.
One man in uniform one of the television stations began taking pictures from all points. From the farmers in the fields to the big tents filled with women workers and piles of onion ties.
A reporter asked one person to be interviewed. The village chief called Bambang as the source. Many questions were asked to the last question.
"Happy to work here?"
"Waaah.. Very happy Ma'am. What else is the female worker is nice, beautiful, like my friend this lohh.. Rahayu and Maya. Increase morale."
Bambang silliness makes the workers laugh together as well as the village head and reporter.. The woman smiled at Bambang's honesty.
"It's going to air in two days. Don't forget to watch.. On FansTV on the program SHARING SUCCESS."
°°°°°
Towards dhuhur.. All the workers are done with their work. They work from morning until noon. Maya washes her hands with hand soap provided at a hand wash.
"Maya wants to go home together? Rahayu offers a ride.
"Yes, Mommy.."
Maya immediately finished washing her hands. Half a day sitting peeling onions pretty much makes his back sore.
"Capek is it?" Rahayu asked when the two were in the motorcycle seat.
"Lumayan Ma'am.. Maybe because it's the first time, too long later will get used to it." Maya speaks from behind Rayu's back.
"Just call me Ma'am, looks like we're the same age." Rayu suggests "Let's be more familiar."
"Mbak is the same, just call Maya."
Chatting along the way, Maya finds out that Rayu has not been separated from her husband for long. Not finished the story, the motorbike driven by Rahayu has arrived in the courtyard of the Bibik house.
"Attract Ra." Maya offers
"Next time, May.. You also play at my house sometime."
"Yes, definitely. Thanks for the ride."
Maya was still standing as the woman went away on her motorcycle.
"May.. Enter first." the voice of Bik Hima who had just come with her uncle averted Maya's gaze.
"Yes, Bik."
Maya steps inside the house directly back to the bathroom. His body felt sultry, grabbing the towel hanging on the back clothesline. Maya pushes through the bathroom door without knowing anyone is inside.
"Aaaaaaaa......" Maya screamed and turned around by closing both eyes with her hands when she saw the tall, lopsided man unzipping his pants.
"What's the matter May?" the Bibik followed the man who was none other than Daksa running to the back.
"There's a Bik." Maya speaks still by closing her eyes and standing at the bathroom door.
The man who had just lowered his zipper immediately raised it back up. The man did not urinate.
Daksha who saw laughed widely.
"Have you seen it yet?" Daksa even teases Maya and her friends
"It's already." the man
"Not yet." Maya
The two answered along with Maya who was still on her back.
"Romans.." Maya turns her back to see the man, she does not accept when the man says he has.
"You?"
"You?"
The two are simultaneously shocked, especially Maya when she finds out who the man before her is.
