A FIRE IN THE SNOW

Although

Allan is a determined, introverted, loner, grumpy and

sensitive, because of heartbreak, the presence of Yunita who is patient and always

giving attention even though it is reviled all-out. Make his heart

as hard as a rock, it slowly falls out. Before meeting Yunita,

after a heartbreak, he promised himself that he would never fall again

love's. He only wants Mira to be his life partner. But, that's it

a broken hearted person, one who falls into a dark abyss and is wounded,

it is hard to get up and start moving. Its nature is only temporary

and it's up to him to get up and start something new.

Allan

little by little he rediscovered his identity, although he still

looks aloof. A smile began to decorate his face which was arguably handsome,

especially when Yunita greeted him gently and attentively. That afternoon

as usual, Allan was always sitting in his backyard. He gazes

green rice fields with a background of high mountains and

blue horizon. He stared as his mind wandered everywhere.

The first time he visited was Mira, his former lover. Princess of

the couple Panji Asmoro and Trinil, a married couple who work as

workers at the tea plantation of one of the Dutch citizens who lived not far from

koef Family Home.

Allan

recalling her encounter with Mira, Mira helps her mother pluck

tea leaves and put it in a basket hanging on the waist

his right. There was a pink cloth covering the sweet girl's head.

I don't know why the wind suddenly blew and released the cloth that covered

his head and flew off then landed on Allan's face. Allan jerked in a hurry

his hand grabbed the cloth covering his face, “Who is the owner of this handkerchief ?”

ask her to the women who are still busy with their respective work.

Duet

allan's eyes stared wildly at the women, all of them wearing rags on

his head, however, was only one person who was not wearing a cloth, he was Mira.

As soon as Allan's sharp eagle-like eyes stared at him, Mira

hurriedly put down his basket and walked over to Allan, “I'm sorry

me, Senor (Master).  That was

mine, young master,” he said as he lowered his face, his heart

thumped violently while cold sweat flowed from his forehead and

dripping wetting Allan's shoes.

“Show

your face, let me see who dares to be impudent to

Young Master,” said one of the soldiers who accompanied Allan. Allan stared

sharp towards her bodyguard, “This woman is one of the werknemer (labour) in

this family, you don't be rude to him. Just imagine that every weknerdisini is treated harshly by

you guys, what's going on ?! Take care of your attitude, however he is

humans like us, do not carelessly treat people,” he said in a statement

dutch Language. “Excuse me, young master,” while bowing down,

while Allan again turned his gaze towards the woman who was still

kneel before Allan.

“Stand

and show me that face. No need to worry, I won't scold

you,” said Allan friendly. Despite the hesitation Mira raised her face, a pair of

his eyes were against Allan's eyes. Both cheeks Mira

blushing red, he could not bear to look into Allan's eyes for long. And from that, then,

hurriedly he threw away his face, there was a strange feeling in his heart that was not

it can be expressed, as well as on the side of Allan. For a moment the face of two

the young are of the view even though occasionally Mira has to try to control

that strange feeling.

Voices

the coughing from Allan's bodyguards, made them aware, but, Allan did not

affected, he opened his lips, and said, “Forward your work, temporarily

this handkerchief.... You don't mind, not if I save it ?” Miras

misbehaving, he unconsciously nodded his head slowly, then returned

works. Since then Allan always came to visit Mira. Hourly

rest, Allan took Mira for a walk around the tea plantation.

Allan's relationship with the werknemers (workers ), so familiar and flattered

many people because they are wise and not infrequently take a firm stance on the werknemer

taped or make a mistake.

Tak

it was rare when Allan was not in the place where the Werknemers asked him,

especially Mira. Allan's presence in his life, made him even more excited

to help his mother pluck the tea leaves, it was all done because there was Allan

who always accompanied him in conversation during the break.

“I know

you're falling for Allan, nduk .. but, you have to remember who you are.

and who is Allan,” said the mother one day to Mira, “Well, don't

I expect too much from the Dutch. Your father, definitely would not approve

your relationship with him,”

“Why

so, ma'am ?” ask Mira.

“Continues

frankly, your father didn't like the Dutch because it was the nation that colonized

this state. I don't know how many more victims have to fall and I don't know

how much more natural resources in this country should be drained

they,” obviously the mother.

“Then,

what do you think of the Van Koef Family?”

mother, they are a fairly respected and respected family. Well of

the inhabitants of this country, in this case the werknemers who work here .

the Dutch are out there. I'm worried, your love is clapping

one hand, nduk. Seeing your age who has stepped on this teenager, indeed

it's time to get married. But, I suggest .. find someone else. At least

look for youth who are one nation, one belief, and one vision/goal,”

“So,

mom disagree with our relationship ?” ask Mira disappointed.

“Not.

I agree. Allan is a handsome, diligent, responsible young man

answerable and attentive. I'm worried it's just a cover. All that is just

for your good, nduk. moreover you know how nature, character and.

character Your father,”

“Can

mom persuades Dad ?”

Trinyl

sighing deeply, he knew his daughter was of the same stern character as

Her dad. After a moment of silence, then say, “Mom will try,

nduks. Furthermore, if your father doesn't approve of it .. Then, I can't

do nothing else. I can only advise you, if you love Allan ...

better not get involved too deeply. Let it run as it is,”

Just now

Trinil closed his mouth, heard the door knocked on someone, “Excuse me, may

I'm in?” that's Allan's voice. Hurriedly the 2 women stood up and cleared up

his house has been a mess ever since. After making things up, then

Trinil walked towards the door and opened the door leaf, from outside a young man

tall wearing a typical Dutch hat standing with a smile, “Ah, Sir

Young man, I did not expect Master to come to my house during this holiday.

Is there anything I can help you with,”.

“Mother

Trinil, don't hesitate .. I came here to give you something to

family mother. Can I enter ?” allan said kindly. Trinil wakes up,

rush to let his guests in, “Please enter Young master, sorry home

we were in a mess we hadn't had time to clean up because we were busy working in the tea garden

Family Koef,” he said in a temporary trembling tone, his hand reaching for a

seats made of rattan and placed near Allan, “Mari, please

sit down, let me prepare some drinks and potluck while Sir

accompanied by Mira,”

Allan

smile, “Mother, no need to hesitate, I'm just for a moment, this is there a

parcels from my homeland, please mother accept it,” he said as he

give some medium-sized packets red. By hand

trembling, Trinil accepted it, “Why is Young Master so bothered, we are

ordinary people do not deserve special treatment. But, te ...

thank you, Mister.... Right now, I will prepare food and drinks

for Tuan. Let Mira first accompany Mr.” he said.

Trinyl

going inside, a few moments later from inside appeared Mira with

the appearance that really made Allan stunned. The clothes worn

pink Dutch dress model with yellow rose lace in

chest section. “You ... you are beautiful once,” she said stammering. Mira's Face

blushing with shame, further adding to her beauty, with graceful steps, she

approaching Allan, “Welcome, Young Master. Sorry we didn't

expecting Young Master to come to our small house,” he said in a tone

respectful.

“Su ...

never mind, frankly I came here to invite

you take a trip to the city,” said Allan. This time he could not control

himself in the presence of one who became a werknemer (labour) in the environment

her house. This speech made Mira fixated, she could not say anything to

all along. The two young men were silent, not a word came out from

their mouths, the room became silent. What I hear is a heartbeat

them. Well, it was their hearts that spoke and it was all witnessed by Trinil

from behind the walls of the house made of woven bamboo.

“My boy

.... Had Allan not been Dutch. I wouldn't mind getting married

mu with. You are a compatible couple, your love is huge,

without feeling ... You have made your mother ri, my son,” she said inwardly,

“You are truly beautiful when you wear that dress in your wedding.

I can feel the flames of love between you two. If you want, I want to

marry them now. Calm down, mother will try.

helping you. I can see my mother inside you, my son.

trying to give you the best,”

Relationship

between Mira and Allan finally known also by Panji Asmoro, Mira's father.

At first the father was kind and respectful to the Koef family, however,

his anger peaked when Allan came with his father and mother,

their goal is to propose to Mira. Roughly the Father drove them from

his house even though it had triggered a quarrel in the Panji Asmoro household.

The reason is simple, because of differences in citizenship plus differences in beliefs.

The Mira family is Muslim while the Van Koef Nasrani family. Peaks

it was after the quarrel of the Van Koef Family and the Mira Family, Allan

still come visit Mira's house. Roughly Panji Asmoro expels

Allan from his house and on that day Yunita came to greet him.
