Ceafi & Dusk

Java Island In Gengganku

Morning dawn has risen, soon followed by the shining sun welcoming the day. Workdays still have to be lived with a new spirit, even though so many deadlines await. The morning ritual is over, Ceafi and Father Jose are ready to leave for the office.

Today Ceafi is preoccupied with a stack of research report data. After his adventure up the mountain, he must return to his country duty. There is a schedule that he is waiting for this time, namely the schedule around Java Island for additional purposes in his research.

Jose's father came to Ceafi's desk and asked,

" Ceafi finished the report last week? " Jose's father held Ceafi's shoulder.

" It's Well, wait Ceafi print yes, oh yes today there is no discussion right? I want to go home early Dad. " Ceafi was clear and asked to return early to Jose's father.

" It must be tired, right? " Guess Jose's father and it's very precise.

" Hmn, I need an extra break can ya? " Ceafi's spoiled smile on her Father.

" Okay, my dear, let Bi Minah call the masseuse, yes, "Jose's father goes back to his desk.

" okay! " Ceafi asserted his father's words even though he actually did not know what the incandescent meant.

***

" Yahahahahh!!! " A very ear-splitting scream.

It was late afternoon at Mr. Joshington's house. Ceafi screams in pain while being massaged by a masseuse called Bi Minah. Jose's father laughed out loud though his heart was a little worried.

" Oahhhh! Unhand me!! " Ceafi shouted from inside her room.

" Yes Allaah, already big shy dong. " Jek Father Jose who when if he was massaged must also scream.

" It hurts just for a moment, wake up tomorrow will be good. " So said his masseuse named Mbok Siem.

" Alhamdulillah already finished yes Mbok, Non now rest Aunt takein eat continues to bobok okay, "Bi Minah smile in front of the already helpless Ceafi.

" There you are, feels better now? " Jose's father came to bring a drink for Ceafi.

" She is killing me! My bones are like a crumble of Dad... " Rengek Ceafi to his father and asked for help to drink.

" It's Non's meal, Aunt's bribe or eating alone? " Bi Minah came with a tray filled with dinner.

" Let me bribe Bi, he said, his bones were crushed, " Said Jose's father and laughed while Ceafi could only frown.

After the meal, Ceafi fell asleep, Jose's father confirmed Ceafi's sleeping position and went outside.

" Hey bonjour Daddy!! " Sapa Ceafi to Jose's father this morning.

" Hey My Girl! Apparently your body is fresh now huh? " Jose's father hugged Ceafi sitting next to him.

" I don't know what happened last night I slept very soundly and woke up like getting a new body. " Ceafi obviously grabbed her milk glass.

" That means that tomorrow is tired call Simbok aja yes? " Reply to Jose's Father.

" Don't, my body really feels destroyed by it. " Ceafi patted his father's chest.

" Hahaha it's okay if sometimes this Little Miss is naughty. Okay here your breakfast, Baby, "Jose's father thrusting a plate containing Ceafi's favorite sandwhich.

Its time for work, both of which are already in the office and are discussing additional forest tracking schedules which will begin next week. Profs. Jhon, Jose's father, and Ceafi will participate in this search.

" Well I think the meeting for the schedule around Java Island is enough, and for Miss Ceafi please prepare the SOP and database yes. " Prof's Order. Jhon on Ceafi.

" Good Prof! " Ceafi smiled and nodded.

All the staff in the meeting have returned to their respective workspaces. Then Ceafi and Lily seemed to be discussing together and working one table until the afternoon.

" Is everything ready?! " Ask Prof. Jhon when the team is in preparation for a trip around the island of Java.

" Ready to Prof! " Reply everything at once.

After a common prayer, Ceafi and the group set off on a pre-arranged route. No hilarity and laughter at home for the next week. Bi Minah must be feeling lonely.

Long trip for the third time for Ceafi, what else will he find? His blue eyes did not escape looking at the charm of the forest he passed with the team. The trip spent 3 days in East Java.

" Hey Little Miss! Don't you go far later you're kidnapped by a ghost. " Shouted Jose's father when he saw Ceafi walking into a slightly lush and dark area of trees.

" Where powerful ghost is holding me Dad, I want to see something there. " Ceafi kept walking towards a tree.

It turns out he saw a treasure. It was not a treasure that was inside the box of chests and used a spell to open it. But an orchid tree that grows attached to a large banyan tree.

" The orchid pouches a pembar, or scientifically named Paphiopedillum glaucophyllum. Orchids are endemic to the region of East Java and include rare. " Clearly Prof. Jhon approached Ceafi who was so serious about seeing the details of the flower.

Completed the trip to East Java, Ceafi and the team were invited to visit his brother Prof's house. Jhon in the mountains. Not much different from the atmosphere in Magelang but the weather is warmer here. They stayed overnight and Ceafi got a special gift.

" Monggo Cah Ayu's tea, " Said a middle-aged woman to Ceafi. He is his Aunt Prof. Jhon named Mbok Jati.

" Ah Aunty, thank you very much, "Ceafi received the tea that Mbok Jati gave her.

"Don't call Aunty, Mbok aja yo. Well Mbok has something for you Ndhuk Cah Ayu, take this! This is a painting from Mbok's husband, I love you because Mbok knows, you are an explorer. Mbok believes that one day you will be a true explorer. " Mbok Jati gave a cloth that contained a map painting. Ceafi was moved and very amazed at Mbok Jati.

" It's an honor for me Mbok, its beautiful. Is this not a map of Java? " Ceafi stretched the cloth.

" Surely, it used to be used for her husband Mbok's trip. Save well yo Cah Ayu, " said Mbok Jati.

They chatted until dusk disappeared and the night sky was covered with clouds.

A burst of glare light illuminated the morning with its clear blue sky. The long journey continues, the group is heading to West Java and will end the trip in Banten. There was a surprise from Prof. Jhon for Ceafi. We'll see at the end of the episode, right!?

At two o'clock in the afternoon the group team paused for a break in the rest area. Jose's father invited Ceafi to play fairytale. Egrang is one of the traditional toys made of bamboo.

" Come on! You can do this! " Say Jose's father as Ceafi tries to ride the egrang.

" This father is too tall, I'm afraid of falling! " Ceafi looked nervous.

" Daddy help hold it, let's try step one, "Jose's father stands in front of Ceafi holding his white stick.

" Hey Jose! Watch out if my Little Miss falls, I throw your head with a coconut ha?! " Prof. Jhon commemorates Jose's father.

" Steady you, John, I beat you in a duel once, "Jose's father seemed to grin at Prof. Jhon.

Everyone laughed, and Prof. John also played. A moment of unwind and dizziness of state duties before continuing the journey.

Two days to schedule the area of West Java, and Ceafi had stopped by an orchid garden. All about orchid, there are many species of orchids there. Ceafi gets a very special orchid plant gift.

" He is my friend Non, Mr. Amin is the father of the hahaha orchid flower! " Clearly Prof.Jhon introduced his friend who worked in the park.

" Well, father of orchids and someday I could be his mother dong. " Ceafi was joking.

" Hahaha, and this is for Miss! The flowers are very nice and the plant blooms in summer, and Miss knows if it gets sun she will reflect the light. I named it Sun Glory. " Surely Mr. Amin on Ceafi.

" Waw, I'm very lucky sir. Thank you so much for this flower. I promise I'll take care of him. " Ceafi bowed in thanks.

After the completion of the affairs of the team, the team continued to the last province, Banten. It was a few hours trip that they arrived. Since it was still early morning, Ceafi and the team decided to take a break at the hotel.

The cool morning air and the finely caressed coldness were legged. Best fitting breakfast with fruiting and coffee. Will be a perfect morning vibe.

No need to wait for noon, after all the breakfast Ceafi and the team left for a search. Today the team is split in two, the goal is to shorten the time. Profs. Jhon ordered one of Ceafi's entourage not to tell him where to meet later in the afternoon.

And jreng.jreng..! Ceafi got another surprise. Sunset at the beach! Profs. John and Jose's father were waiting for him at the beach.

" O waw! This is so cool! Beach and sunset? Come on! " Ceafi was very cheerful and ran over to her father and Prof. John is preparing a meal.

" You're good!? " Ask Prof. Jhon.

" I'm great! Dad I want to go see the sunset closer, "Ceafi pulls Jose's dad's arm.

" Alright, come with me Non, I have prepared the best place. Jos! Don't be jealous if I make out with your Little Miss, it's my time with Miss Ceafi. " Prof. Jhon embraces Ceafi and leaves behind Jose's father who looks at him sharply.

" Bye Daddy! " Ceafi waved at Jose's father and returned a fist. Can be irritated also with his own friends who have always been like sister.

Corals, waves, and twilight are like gates to heaven. Profs. Jhon takes Ceafi to a towering reef off the coast. They enjoy twilight together at Tanjung Layar Beach. Ceafi appears to spread a cloth picture of the map of Java Island given Mbok Jati.

" And finally I grasped the island of Java, O Prof, what is the picture behind this map? It looks like a form of a figure.. " It's not over yet Ceafi asked Prof. Jhon.

" It was Arjuna, the character in the puppet. Arjuna here as a symbol of the wanderer. He knows the ins and outs of the world. Keep the map well, Cah Ayu. " Prof. Jhon smiled broadly at Ceafi.

Dusk became the cover of the trip Ceafi a week grasping the island of Java. The beautiful greeting of the twilight reminded Ceafi of one last sentence, after all,

Wherever and to whatever extent I go for only one reason, is to go back home.

" It's time to go home Ceafi! "
