"Where have you been? Girls leave the house unattached! Not telling you for days? You want your parents to die, huh? If the child is too spoiled, it is like gini. Trample the old man's head! As if alone!"
Mr. Darmaji is angry. It's been three days that Selvi left the house. And only tonight he's back. Which made her parents worried she didn't leave any messages. Which parents are not worried if they are in the position of Mr. Darmaji and bu Indun.
"Bather what the hell? Noisy, I just got home sir! Body tired, can not fuss first!" Deg. Saying the word noisily, instantly forced Selvi's memory to imagine the old bandot bangka who had been huddling her as long as she left the house.
"Already sir already.. Let it go first. Later he will be asked again. Let him rest, tomorrow we can say good."
Actually in the recess of Indun's heart, he was also very curious about where the child just went. But, instead of creating a night commotion, Ms. Indun suppressed her curiosity and chose to calm her husband so that he would no longer say out loud.
"We have failed, Mom. It failed! From childhood, he was always used to getting whatever he wanted. When we can no longer give her what she wants, just the snapping and anger we get in return." Mr. Darmaji almost cried. The net has dewed. A mist of tears covered his sight.
"No sir. Don't think so. Selvi's a good boy, she's like that there must be a reason. Sir don't mostly think, your tension will rise again! We don't have the money to buy headache medicine in the stall." Ms. Indun moved closer to her husband.
"Udah malem sir. Just rest. We'll talk about this again tomorrow." Bu Indun.
Despite being forced to shut down, in fact Mr. Darmaji is still awake. This old man felt something different in his son. "What are you hiding nduk..?"
Mr. Darmaji was downcast thinking about his son. Though for the size of a woman, her child has a natural beautiful face. But, his son prefers to preen with the qibla of ginseng state artist whose white glowing body is also slim.
Selvi is not grateful for the advantages she has, she continues to look up and compare her life with Ayu or other girls who she considers more fortunate than her.

That morning Selvi preached, only rubbing a few times the sponge powder on the skin of his face. And the color lipstick salem she added to perfect her appearance. The smile was raised, he was ready to start today!
As recommended by Mbah Rabut, Selvi is fasting today and the next four days.
Instead of staying at home, she prefers to go to Teguh's workplace. Another suggestion from Mbah Rabut to quickly get what he wants is to approach his cousin.
"Where else is Vi? Your father did not sleep for a few days thinking of you. You are a girl, not married, mbok ya in less-less playing outside. Vi likes to talk about you, especially if they know three days you don't come home."
"Where were you yesterday? Don't make your parents stand up for your behavior Vi. Your father and I are old and have nothing to offer except advice. You hear about Vi?"
The heart of a mother who is not sick is treated as such. Ignored and not considered to be his existence.
Fifteen minutes in the street, Selvi arrived at the cafe where Teguh worked. Selvi went straight to the cashier's desk located next to the exit.
"Mas Teguh there's mbak? I'm Selvi her husband, I'm going to see you." Selvi immediately expressed the intention of his arrival.
"There's mom. Usually Mr. Teguh will leave the room when the work is done." A friendly smile was created when answering Selvi's question.
"Can you tell me where the room is? It's important mbak." Selvi is a little pushy.
"For a moment, ma'am." The cashier's mother called her friend to deliver a message from Selvi to Mr. Teguh, her superior.
Not long Selvi waited, Teguh out of his room. His face was red. He looked like a war god approaching Selvi. Selvi still put on a face not knowing anything. Though he could guess, why his cousin looked so wrathful when he saw it.
"Follow me!" Teguh ordered Selvi to follow him.
"Where were the three days yesterday?" The first question that Teguh gave when both of them were in the room where Teguh worked.
It was like Selvi replied with a sting, but she remembered to be kind to Teguh.
"I'm a pickaxe.. All my money was taken, I was in town for a job application but it was stray.. I was confused because I never went out of town alone, bring money also from debt.. Damn, it's like that even the minjem money is also crossed by people." Selvi was crying, her acting could not fool Teguh.
Firmly frowned. "You're pickpocketing? Your phone is still there, right? Did you bring your phone with you?"
"Your father is like a madman confused about you. Ask me to help you make your noses, he's so worried you're okay. But the worried don't think." Clear emotional clarity.
"You used to call me by name, don't give me frills! I don't like it."
Actually succumbing is not Selvi's nature but for the sake of being able to get what she wants instantly, she tries to calm down in the face of Teguh's anger.
