Ceafi & Dusk

Culture Shock's

The first day of Ceafi in Indonesia is not as beautiful as expected. Although he was born and felt his childhood in Indonesia, but western culture has been ingrained.

For most foreigners who come to the country people must experience culture shock where they have to adapt to a different environment with the environment in their home country.

No doubt, Ceafi also had to adapt to the environment here, but lucky Father Jose was always patient in dealing with the attitude of his daughter who was rather spoiled.

This morning Jose's father had woken up and was about to take Ceafi for breakfast. Bi Minah was preparing breakfast, but Jose's father made sandwhich bread for Ceafi. It was indeed the custom of Jose's father every morning to prepare breakfast for Ceafi because in France there was no maid.

" Eh sir, let me do it. Miss likes breakfast bread huh!? " Bi Minah was about to replace Jose's father to make a sandwich but was rejected by Jose's father.

" It's Bi, I'm used to making Ceafi breakfast. Are all the dishes ready? " Jose's father took a plate to prepare the sandwhich Ceafi he had made.

" Already Master, your favorite special fried rice. " Answer Bi Minah while cleaning up the kitchen.

" okay! I call Ceafi first yes, please make lemon squeeze for him yes use warm water do not love sugar, Bi, "Jose's father brought his sandwhich and went to Ceafi's room.

Jose's father came to Ceafi's room, and woke him up, "Dear Ceafi! Wake up in the morning. " Jose's father stroked Ceafi's cheeks which still looked beautiful while sleeping.

" Hmm... " Ceafi squirms lazily,

" Wake up Little Miss! " Jose's father pinched Ceafi's nose.

" Ayaahs..Ceafi lazy wake up last night I can not sleep a lot of animal sounds, "Ceafi still lazy wake up and raise again the blanket.

" Yes this is the sandwich Daddy loves here yes, Bi Minah has made lemon juice. Dad had breakfast outside. Ceafi can sleep again, but not during the day! " Jose's father put down a sandwhich plate on the side of Ceafi's desk and then came out, smiling at his daughter as she closed the door to Ceafi's room.

While Ceafi back to sleep skipping the morning atmosphere in a village that is much different from the atmosphere in Nice City. Jose's father had breakfast with Mr. Slamet. They talked about how the house and surroundings changed during his departure.

The plan is that Jose's father wants to take Ceafi for a morning walk around the village after breakfast. Because Ceafi didn't want to wake up so Jose's father chose to go around alone.

The atmosphere of the village is now different from when Jose's father first came and lived here for 10 years. Looks like the streets have been paved and widened, many large shops around the village, and the houses have been built better and more decent.

While cycling Jose's father recalled the memories of his youth. Many residents greeted and talked when they met him, his old friends and neighbors who were happy to see Jose's father. They nostalgic for each other.

" YYYYYYYYYY!! " ceafi's screaming voice was heard from inside the room.

" Yeah!!! " Ceafi was hysterically screaming.

Bi Minah and Mr. Slamet ran to Ceafi's room, "What's the matter Non?! " Task them in unison and his slightly worried face mixed in shock.

" There are insects in the bed, Ceafi disgusted! " Ceafi's face was upset and scared.

" There's cockroaches anyway, my goodness Non! You think there is a snake, " replied Mr. Slamet relaxed while taking the cockroach on the mattress.

"Nih, the cockroach is just small, "Pak Slamet's hand that has a cockroach directed to Ceafi.

" Hwaa Mr Slamet! Ceafi scared!! " Ceafi surged to the back of Bi Minah's body.

" He's Met! Miss Ceafi is afraid that you might even throw it away! " Bi Minah looked at Mr. Slamet sharply.

" Miss wash your face first, Aunty take the lemon, huh? " Bi Minah patted the shoulder of Ceafi who was still frightened.

" Oui." Ceafi smiled and entered the bathroom.

There was soon the sound of Ceafi again, this time from the bathroom.

" Aunty toloooongg!!! "Shouted Ceafi

" There's aunty's spider!! " Ceafi jumped out of the bathroom.

" It's normal there Non, Auntie clean up later. Auntie's drink is on the dinner table, there's still breakfast for Miss Ceafi. " Bi Minah went to pick up a broom to repel the spider.

Jose's father had come home from his bicycle and found Ceafi at the dinner table. Seemed Ceafi scooping the fried rice cooked by Bi Minah.

" Did you like it Honey? " Task Jose's father to come sit next to Ceafi.

" Hmmm.. " Ceafi felt the fried rice she bribed.

" Wow, it's not as bad as waking up in the morning. Ayaahs... Ceafi wants to go home, "Ceafi whines spoiled to her father.

" Home? This is your childhood home, right? Come on, I believe Ceafi will be happier here. " Jose's father hugged Ceafi and stroked her head.

" There were insects in Ceafi's room and bathroom. Ceafi doesn't want to sleep there anymore. " Ceafi stared at Jose's father.

" Well, then let Daddy sleep there, we exchange rooms, how? " Jose's father pinched Ceafi's nose.

" But there won't be any insects in Dad's room, will there? " Ceafi held her father's hand gently.

" Maybe the bug will move there too because it saw the beautiful princess, "Jose's father laughed and pinched Ceafi's nose again. Ceafi snorted in annoyance and swung his lips.

" Let's eat first, Daddy's bribe yes," Jose's father took a spoon and fed the fried rice to Ceafi's mouth.

Jose's father's tenderness towards Ceafi is indeed no match, being a father and mother since Ceafi was 6 years old. Ceafi's mother had to go home at that time because of complications due to the condition of cancer that has been late stage.

***

Ceafi is now sitting on the terrace looking at the surrounding scenery. He was interested in a hillside sighting located at the end of the village not far from his home. Then come to Mr. Slamet who is arranging the side yard of the house.

" Samlet sir is planting flowers huh? " Task Ceafi meekly as if erasing his silly attitude this morning.

" Eh Non, this is you want to make the park so that Miss Ceafi is more happy and at home living here. " Samlet sir smiled broadly.

" Hmm, I like orchids. Are there many here, sir? " Ceafi helped Mr. Slamet.

" Oh, yes, there are many Non, in Indonesia there are about 5,000 species of orchids, Miss can look in the flower market or in the forest of village gardens sometimes also exist. " Said Mr. Slamet, sir,

" Wow, really!? Ceafi will be invited to buy orchid flowers later yes, "Ceafi's eyes shine happily.

" Well, ready Non! Tomorrow is Tuesday and we will take you to the market near the city. " Samlet sir smiled broadly.

" Yeah!! There's insects! " Ceafi jumped away when she saw the insects emerging out of the pit.

" Oh my goodness! Only insects are afraid. " Samlet again picked up the insect and directed to Ceafi.

" What the hell is Ceafi yelling at? Dad was surprised? " Jose's father came out with a look of wonder.

" There are insects where, Ceafi can not live in a house that many insects Ayaah.. Let's just go home huhu.. " Ceafi whines again.

" Sst shh, already Dad will say the bug may be curious when there arrived a beautiful girl here. " Jose's father seduces Ceafi. But Ceafi remained annoyed by the insects.

Up to three days of insect problems made Ceafi continue to whine about wanting to return to France. But Jose's father patiently faced his infant-like daughter. Whining and spoiled, so the attitude of Ceafi when facing culture shock in Indonesia.
