Village Girl With a Million Dreams
Chapter 4 (First Night in Jakarta )
After a few hours of sleep, my sleepiness began to go away. But my sore body still feels.
My throat was so dry, I pulled and set my feet out of the room. I see the clock still showing at 09:00 p.m.
Sayup I heard the voice of Buyut who was talking seriously with Mbak Murni in the living room with Mas Ali as well.
I was confused as to whether I should join them, I still felt ashamed of not getting used to it. And finally I decided to go back to my room.
But when I was about to turn around, I heard their conversation because the tone of the voice was a bit high.
Pure : Mother, I can't make a unilateral decision without a discussion with me and Mas Ali. If we object to Mother should also understand, we do not have children, but that does not mean we also have to take care of other people's children Mom!!!!
Hearing the words of Pure Mother, suddenly my chest was tight, my breathing began to be irregular. There is anger and disappointment in my heart.
I can't listen to their conversation. I was afraid I would not be able to hold back my anger. I prefer to go back to sleep, even though my eyes can't compromise.
Not long ago there was a scream from the door that was opened. I pretended to close my eyes so as not to be caught listening to their conversation.
Buyut: Cah ayu, let's get up, eat first. It will hurt if his stomach is not filled. (Wake up by stroking my dear black hair that was not using the hijab because it was in room ).
Ayu : Yes Buyut (while pretending to rub and rub your eyes)
Me and my great-grandfather headed for the dining room, there was still a little food left, it seemed like the others had already eaten.
Ayu: Pure Ma'am and Mas Ali, Ayu eat well. Be sure it is in the jamu well.
Mas Ali: Do not hesitate Yu, consider it your own home. Consider also Mas da Mbak rich your parents well.
Pure Ma'am: Yes, don't hesitate
There was a bit of confusion in my mind, they were so nice. Not like the conversation I just heard. Was I just dreaming, or was I mishearing.
After eating, I cleaned the dining table and washed the dishes that were stacked in the kitchen. Maybe Pure Ma'am didn't have time to wash it.
Buyut: Cah ayu is in accordance with his name, Ayu, diligent, sinister and polite. Don't waste it, you can take care of Ayu. I can't tolerate anything bad happening to my great-granddaughter.
Mbak Murni and Mas Ali only agree with the words of Ayu's great-grandfather, no one can argue and complain his words.
A week has passed, Buyut has taken care of all the needs of my school in the Pure Mother's place. I am happy to continue my school. But there was a sense of hesitation because it seemed like Pure Sister did not like my presence.
Today Buyut has to go home to the village, a lot of business is delayed because it takes care of me here. I'm Mba Murni and Mas Ali deliver Buyut to the nearest terminal.
On the way I just clasped my Buyut hand tightly, the weight of it felt left him. But I've done it, I hope they love me.
Along the way home, Buyut gave me a lot of advice. On Mba Murni and Mas Ali. We just accept and obey it. If you argue, it will be the length of the business.
Finally we arrived at the terminal, I could not hide the sadness as it turned out. Suddenly I cried bitterly while hugging Buyut Ayu.
Buyut : Cah Ayu, nurut yah same Mas and your Ma. They are instead Father and Mother here. When will your great-grandfather come here again. (While patting my back pat ).
Ayu : Yes Buyut, Do'a right so that Ayu feels at home and Pure Ma'am and Mas Ali also feel at home in Ayu's repotin.
Mas Ali: No Yu, we're happy. The house is rame with many guests.
Buyut : Guest!!!!! assume Ayu is your son. Don't make you change your mind to stay longer. (Sharp eyes of Mas Ali )
Mas Ali: That means ma'am. Sorry ma'am (while scratching the head that is not itchy actually)
Mbak Murni prefers to be quiet listening to their debates. I also just smiled trying to melt the atmosphere.
We went back home, but on the way Pure Ma'am decided to buy my incomplete school equipment. There are some that have not been bought. We also stopped by the nearest supermarket.
