Mrs. Liem couldn't accept the fact that Wan Siang had rejected Miss Hu and instead accepted Sweet, which Mrs said. Liem's origin is unclear. He imagined the bad possibility if Wan Siang still wanted to marry the Sweet One. The shadow when people talk about her daughter-in-law who is from the lower classes has made the inner Ny. Liem.
He did not want it to happen, so that afternoon he went to Wan Siang's house to look for the Sweet One. He deliberately wears beautiful clothes and complete jewelry to highlight his position as a rich person, of course, accompanied by a haughty attitude as a complement, so that his interlocutor becomes a whistle in front of him.
Mrs. Liem thought, when he came in such an appearance and attitude, Sweet would be frightened and obey all his words.
In fact, when Mrs. Liem met the Sweetie, the girl looked calm. Of course, the Sweet Heart is pounding looking at the appearance and behavior of Ny. Liem who felt higher in position, but it did not make the Sweet one frightened to the point of wanting to cry.
“Welcome Madam,” Welcome the Sweet One after Ny. Liem told his aides he wanted to see a woman named The Sweet.
“So you whose name is Sweet?”
“True Madam, we used to meet here.”
“Oh I remember, you're the girl I asked to make tea first right? What did you do until my son wanted to make you a concubine?”
“Sorry Madam, but Koh Wan Siang never thought of me as her mistress.”
“How dare you call your employer Koh Wan Siang.”
“He who told me to call him like that.”
Mrs. Liem, of course, was upset to hear that the woman he thought was the maid had smoothly answered all her questions, as if she were a learned woman from the Priyayi faction. Usually women like the Sweet One will duck in fear just by looking at the outer appearance of the Lady. Liem.
“I don't want to talk anymore. I mean coming here because I want you to quickly leave here and stay away from Wan Siang. Uh, you should know yourself yes, you don't pantes to be his wife. Wan Siang wants me to partner with Miss Hu, who is equal, who is more suitable to be his companion.”
Although surprised by the words of Mrs. Liem, Sweet kept trying to calm down and listen to that hurtful word for word.
“But Engkoh told me to take care of this house, I have to recede.”
“Whose house do you think this is? This is my home, Wan Siang that I just told you to occupy this house. So it's up to me to accept or expel the person in this house.”
What Ms said. Liem is right. The house that Wan Siang occupied was one of his houses, which he bought as a long-term savings. Having a home is a symbol of real wealth.
“Please wait until Engkoh gets home. If I am not there when he comes home, he will be confused, Madam. I came here well, if I have to leave here, I also want to say good,” pinta Si Sweet.
It's not the first time, ma'am. Liem kicked people out, so he didn't want to accept any excuse. He did not want to know and did not want to consider the request of the Sweet.
“If I ask you to leave now, yes now! There is no bargaining. Take your stuff!” The tone of voice of Mrs. Liem could not be controlled anymore, his screaming voice could be heard by all the other people in Wan Siang's house, who had been eavesdropping on the conversation.
“Mrs..”.
“Plaakk!!!”
Before Sweet can continue her words, Madam. Liem slapped the Sweetie's cheek, as if the Sweet was a guilty slave to the master.
All my life, Sweet has never been treated by a fellow human being that bad. Father and mother of the Sweet One also never act rude, especially to slap him. Because it was the experience of being slapped the first time in his life, the Sweetie cried.
“It hurts to get slapped? That's why you shouldn't argue! Beware, if you dare to talk again, I will slap again, until you recede!”
The Sweetie did not intend to speak anymore, it seems that Mama Wan Siang was indeed a cruel woman and had no feelings. In childhood he could kill animals, let alone just slap the child of people who are considered lowly, of course it is very easy to do. He never thought about the consequences.
The sweetie then went into her room, packed her clothes, then put them in a tote bag. He brought with him the money he had and the jewelry Wan Siang had given him. There was no intention to sell the jewelry. If the Sweetie takes her along, it's because she considers all the jewelry to be mementos of the one she loves.
The sweetie also never felt expelled throughout his life. But he was sure that all things in the world were impermanent, just a mere deposit. So he tried to recant what was taken from him, including having to leave Wan Siang's house on that day.
When the Sweetie was about to get out of the house, Mrs. Liem was still in the room, in order to see for himself that the girl had indeed left.
“I say hello to Madam.”
Even though Sweet's heart hurts, he still says goodbye to Ny. Liem's. After all the woman was the one who had given birth to Wan Siang, the man she loved so much. Mrs. Liem did not want to reply to Sweet.
The Sweet finally came out of the house that holds a million memories for himself and Wan Siang. He remembered how he had come to the house. He walked behind Wan Siang with his head lowered, and remained down until Wan Siang ordered him to raise his head.
When the Sweet One came out of the house, she had become a woman far different from her former self. In that house, he was given enough food, proper clothing, as well as compassion and science. There was no reason for him to bow his head, so the Sweet One greeted the world with his head held high while coming out of the Wan Siang house.
But even though the Sweet tried to behave as fresh as possible, he was still unable to stem the tears that continued to spill from both eyes. Because in the new house he left there are many memories with Wan Siang.
“Sweet, anyway you never leave me huh?”
“Indeed why I had to leave Engkoh, I told you. I will follow Engkoh wherever Engkoh goes.”
“Appointment yes?”
“Promise Koh.”
The question was once thrown from Wan Siang's mouth and answered like that by the Sweet One. But the girl was saddened by not being able to keep her promise. What would happen if Wan Siang knew he was gone? The more sad the Sweet, the more tears flowed down both of her cheeks.
What makes the Sweet still strong staring at the world is a message from Ny. Tan, his personal teacher. If he really loves Wan Siang, then he must be as strong as a rock. No matter how many times the waves hit, the rock remained firm. As his love for Wan Siang that he will always hold firmly, no matter what happens.
Apparently the warning of the. Tan will be bad nature, ma'am. Liem was proved right. The Sweetie had actually been trying to prepare himself if one day he really met with Mama Wan Siang. But he never thought that he would be slapped and chased away by the woman.
In Kudus, Wan Siang was having a business meeting with his colleagues at the restaurant to discuss the issue of a contract with a cigarette company in the city, which belongs to the Chinese, who is in need of a supplier for his sizable cigarette factory.
Wan Siang felt his cooperation with the company would make his business grow rapidly. His desire to immediately question the Sweet One and bring him to Kudus grew more and more real, as if it was about to happen.
The feeling of happiness that Wan Siang was experiencing was completely opposite to the feeling of the Sweet One. By riding the dock, the Sweetie continued to cry all the way to the house in his village. For there was no place for him to return, except the little house.
