After bathing and breakfast, Padli walked towards Abah's house not far from the
her stall. “Assalamualaikum”, Padli said. “Wakalikum Salam”, answered by Abah.
“Mau departs Pad”, reprimand Abah. “Iya Bah, he said he was told to gather at 7 am”, replied Padli.
“That's under the shelf of his machete plate, if the hoe is next to” Abah said again.
Padli also moved to the kitchen where the dish rack. In the middle room we see bang Udin
sleeping soundly, apparently he came home at dawn, after dawn prayers
he immediately fell asleep. Abah just let the behavior of his sister-in-law. Inna
and Mak Lena is not visible at all. For some reason, he wanted to see Inna
even if it's a little before starting work.
After getting the goods, Padli also went to the village field, because
there was a meeting before starting his gotong royong work. Padli
looking cool, she loaned a thin towel that she tied around her waist,
as a place to slip a machete with its sheath, while the hoe in the
pelvis on the shoulder.
Arriving Padli in the village field, it turns out there are already some people who
been present. They lined up like state would ceremony, and in front of him
looks Mr. Erik who will open the activity.
There was also the Edwin who was carrying a lawn mower. Looks like he's already
used to. Wak Kocu carries a broomstick and a sorong train. Other citizens
those present brought their own equipment.
Brothers, today we will do gotong royong activities
cleaning up the village, as part of the last night's Ocean Feast. Because of that
I beg your participation from all who are here to carry out the event

Acarapun began, which was commanded by Mr. Erik. Padli's at the cleaning job
the water channel (trench) near the warehouse, the channel is a channel from
the soil, which has been filled with mud and growing wild plants, so it must be
cleaned so that the water flow can run.
Padli also vigorously swung his hoe to clean the trench from
wild plants. On the opposite side, you can see the Mandor Bang which is also fun
hoeing trenches. Didn't feel it's been almost 1 hour Padli worked, sweat it
pouring out profusely, his white face flushed red like boiled shrimp, his breathing began
stinged.
“Already Pad, rest first, do not need to be forced lah”, said bang Mandor with a smile.
“Nak bang, it's okay, Padli is still strong” replied Padli.
Before long Padli's gaze began to twitch, he fell
the edge of the trench, everything starts to darken.
Padli in the same carrying bang Mandor towards the village square, he was put to sleep below
shady series tree, which is on the edge of the field. While on the way,
people look at him with smiles, some clap, in fact
someone laughed out loud.
********
After realizing Padli saw himself under a series tree on the edge of the field. Intans
it was nearby while giving a cool cucumber juice drink. Intans
it is in charge of preparing food and drinks for the citizens who are cut up
royongs. Therefore from the morning he was on standby at the table where the food and
drinks are located on the edge of the field. Besides Intan, there are also some
teenage girls and mothers guarding the table. After drinking, Padli
feeling refreshed, his gaze began to open wide.
Intan: Would you like another drink? Let Intan get it. (Intan speaks softly)
Padli (Just nod)
Intan : Nih bang, it looks like my brother's face has gone pale again.
Padli: Abang shy times deck, what Abah said later yes.
Padli grimaced at the scene that had just passed by, vaguely he was still
remembering that incident.
Intan: What's wrong, what's important is that you've worked with
really, until he fainted like that. (Intan smiled amusedly remembering it).
said Inna?
Intan: Do you like Inna?
Padli (looks intently at Intan) Yes (whose head nods)
Intan: But my brother already has a girlfriend in the village.
Padli : You know, you don't have a boyfriend at all.
Intan: Brother every night calls for hours, who is the same?
Padli : Really deck, it's brother's friend, or maybe it's brother's brother, but
obviously not my brother's girlfriend. Brother has a girlfriend.
Intan : Astagfirullah, Intan has told Inna that brother already has a girlfriend
accommodated. Wah this must be repaired Intan, later Inna can misunderstand to
Elder brother.
Padli : Yes. please yes deck.
Intan: Yes already bang, lamar aja Inna directly to Abah, Abikkan close to Abah.
Padli: But you don't know how Inna feels about you yet.
Intan : Inna likes to be with Brother, Intan has known Inna for a long time, we are friends
since childhood. When Abang bought Inna a headset, Inna kept going
speaking of the same Intan, until Intan himself was tired of hearing it. Inna
not so when purchased the same hp case bang Andi.
Padli : That's the deck, but Abah, does Abah want to accept Brother.
Intan : Surely you want, everyone in the village knows, Abah loves the same brother. Hitherto
bang, lamar aja cepetan. Before Ustad Bambang proposed to deluan.
Padli: Well not as simple as that deck, there is still an affair with Abah that must be
Brother finish. (Padli was determined to expose all these lies before
proposing to Inna, he thought because of the first person in this village who he was
lie, then Abah must be the first to hear the story
actually)
Intan: What business bang?
Padli : What's wrong, please... (Padli just smiled)
They were still chatting for a while before the citizens who participated in the gotong royong work
back to the village.
Bang Mandor came to Padli, “Where is Pad, is it healthy?”, he asked. “Udah bang, sorry
yes bang, it has been troublesome brother”, said Padli. “You're too serious, this
volunteer work, no coercion, no settlement target, just relax, no coercion,
not come with anything, just look at Udin, still sleep him, no
who scolded him kok”, said bang Mandor at length. “Iya bang, so
I am ashamed of bang” Padli said with a smile. The other workers
laughing to hear it.
All right, everyone, said Mr. Erik. My brothers, thank you for
his participation in this gotong royong event, please enjoy drinks and
the food, with this I say “Sea Party Event and Gotong Royong” has been
officially finished. So much and thank you. The participants also applauded.
After enjoying the food and drinks, the participants disperse and return to
places each.
Padli walked home to the stall with a shrewd pace, unseen his gallant attitude
like when it came. A thin towel given by Abah was hung on the neck,
while the hoe and the machete in his tenteng only. When we got to the shop,
it turned out that there was a Udin bang, he was still continuing his sleep on the cot.
Padli immediately went to the bathroom to clean himself and get ready for the zuhr prayer in the mushola.
After the prayer, Padli went to Abah's house to return the cleaver and hoe
borrowed it. Abah was having lunch when Padli came.
“Pad, have you finished gotong royongnya”?, asked Abah. “Udah Bah”, replied Padli.
“Sini, eat yuk equally” said Abah.
“Inna, get another plate with the same glass ya”, cried Abah. Inna finally did
appearing, Padli's heart was delighted. “Which way Pad, there is the same constraint of work”?
ask Abah. (That's right.) Padli scratched his head.
