CHAPTER 10

Daydreams

Allan was scattered, his ears heard his name being called from behind.

Allan turned his gaze to the origin of the voice. Not far from where he sat

a woman stands up, she sucks sweetly, “Young Master, sorry to interrupt

tranquility Sir. I'm asking permission to clean this terrace” he is

Yunita, the woman who had just been present in her daydream even though it was just a cursory glance.

Arrivals

Yunita did bother Allan a little, but, lucky for Allan, if

constantly dissolved in his past daydreams, perhaps, could have made it

back to being a sullen, grouchy, sensitive and grumpy person. Moments

seeing Yunita before him Allan smiled small, “After cleaning

this place, is there time for you to accompany me here ? Nope,

your work is almost all done?” tanyakanya.

Yunitas

sweet smile, “Did my presence not bother Young Master ? Because,

since then I have seen Young Master sitting there daydreaming ? Is

Young Master again reminisces about his time with Mira ?” tanyakanya.

“Ah, ,

never mind ... daydreaming continues will not return Mira by my side. So, uh,

will you accompany me to sit here ? Because all on the go, I so

loneliness, no friends to talk to,”

Yunitas

nodding your head, “Alright, Young Master. Please wait for me first

finish my work that stayed a little this,” he said while

his hands continued to work, while, Allan's pair of eyes did not blink

looking at her, “She is a diligent woman. All the work is so heavy

in this house, done alone. Never complain,” he said inwardly.

Outlooks

allan's unblinking eyes looked at Yunita who continued to sweep the terrace floor, lady

it was so wrong behavior, “This kid keeps looking at me working, I'm so bad

by oneself. This heart, I don't know why it's beating so fast.

Already, young master .. don't look at me constantly, I can't work

well,” he said in heart. Hurry Yunita tidied up her work,

“It's done, Young Master. The young master can sit down again. I'm going to the back

briefly to get drinks and snacks,” he said with a voice

quavering.

Allan

still looking at Yunita's face, the woman's cheeks turned red, without waiting

the answer from Allan, he immediately stepped inside. A few moments later it appeared

again while carrying a tray containing snacks and a sized glass

rather large in it is filled with tea whose smoke is still billowing and

some were blown by the wind which then entered Allan's nostril. Smells

so fragrant. The aroma of the tea was even more fragrant when the tray Yunita brought

it was placed on a table not far from

Allan sat.

Allan

nod slowly, “Thank you,” he said, “Sit in front of me. But, uh,

why just one glass. You should also accompany me for a drink

waiting for Papa and Mama to come home,”

“I

dare not, Young Master ...” Yunita said.

“I

give permission, you don't have to worry. There is no harm in you accompanying me to drink. Don't

sungkan,” Allan said.

In spite of

feeling unwell, Yunita finally complied as well. He went back inside

to then come out again while carrying an empty glass and then filled it

with tea prepared for Allan. This time he sat down relaxed

while drinking with employer, “Thank you, Young Master. This is an

honor to me,” said.

Alan

smile, then ask, “If not mistaken, your name is yunita, yes ?”

Yunitas

nodding, “True, Young Master,”

“It seems,

you are not an ordinary citizen. From your style of speech and your gestures ....

another once with the werknemers (labor ) who work on the plantation as well

the bediende (servant )other.

Do you mind telling me ?” ask Allan.

“Master

Young, what's the point of knowing me. I'm just a Bediende, I'm ashamed

to tell it to Young master,” replied Yunita.

“Then

you mind, you better not tell me. But, honestly ...

I want to get to know you more deeply,” Allan said with a deep gaze

as if to force his interlocutor to surrender. Until finally without

asked twice, Yunita immediately recounted her origins.

“Oh, so

you used to live in a palace neighborhood and your father was a former official

high in the kingdom of Pasundan. Your real name is Dyah Sekar Ayu

Prameswati. Why don't you just use that name?”

“I

now it is no longer the court lady, Young Master. I have a husband and 3

child person. What is the point of having a position and rank, if, eventually it must be

back to being ordinary. So, I changed my name to Yunita. Let

we keep in mind that we were created as ordinary people.

Ends also as an ordinary human being,” said Yunita.

“Abuh

a wise speech. Your words make me feel overwhelmed. But, not you

despair, because, all of that must have a silver lining,”

Fustian

the one ejected from Allan's mouth made Yunita dumbfounded. The words are similar

with the words of his late mother, ‘Nduk.

we do not need to complain or feel unfairly treated by the Almighty

Esa. Whatever we experience, bitter-sweet, sorrowful, all must exist

her name was called by Lady Elizabeth Koef. It seems he has been

come, “Young Master, Big Mistress is here. I have to get back to work.

Thank you for Young Master being willing to drink with me,”

Allan

nodding, “I am the one who should thank you for accompanying you

I'm talking,” he said as he looked at Yunita. The woman's body disappeared

turn of the road, “Even if the woman is married and has 3 children

... she still remains beautiful,” she said inwardly.

Since

it was then that Allan and Yunita often spent time together when people

old Allan is not home. Their relationship is getting closer, Allan is already

managed to forget Mira, the woman he loved for about 3 years.

Their hearts that were like an wasteland, suddenly, springs appeared

it is cool and refreshing and

overgrown by blooming flowers and smelling fragrant; their cold hearts,

frozen and empty was like a vast snowfield; it was suddenly thawed

by a burning flame that burns all that is.

Till

one day, when Mr and Mrs Van Koef were not home, Allan met Yunita who was cooking in the kitchen.

“Once you finish cooking .. can you meet me on the terrace ?” ask Allan.

Actually, Yunita was very afraid of meeting Allan, but, she was aware

his position is also Allan's. Finally, he nodded, “For a while more

I'm done, Sir,” said, “Stay warm one dish only,” Allan

nod, then step towards the terrace. There, he sat while a pair

his eyes glared to an empty place, his mind wandering back into time

then, the time when Mira was still by his side for the last.

That afternoon

Allan visited Mira's house, outside already sitting his father Panji Asmoro.

Seeing Allan's arrival, Panji Asmoro's face was flushed red, “What are you

come here ?! Don't you understand what I'm telling you yet ?

Or, I have to repeat it again and this time I will not hesitate

again !! Let everyone hear and see how I dare

expel a Dutch Young Master invaders this country !!”

Allan no

caring for the anger of that person, he continued walking and upon arriving before

Panji Asmoro, he knelt down, “I'm sorry, I'm Mr... let me meet

with Mira for the last time,” he said.

“I

said .... Don't see my daughter again !! You're still a wayward, though,

should I hit you to the point of being battered ?! Now get out of this house

!! Go, never come back !! It's better when you guys

the Dutch people are all leaving this country !!! Bloodsuckers

!!!”

Ruckus

it was heard by Trinil as well as Mira who was inside the house. Hurriedly

they came out and found Panji Asmoro about to kick Allan in the face. But, uh,

Mira hurriedly confronted him, “Don't, Daddy !!! Don't know who Dad is

who is in front of this Dad ?”

“Cih !!

Even if Dutch officials or soldiers in large numbers .

retreat !! You go inside or I'll beat you up on the spot

open this ?!!”

“You

that's too much, brother. You're embarrassing yourself.

I am not ready to live this life alone. Did you know, you ?!”

Trinil also spoke, “If you want to beat them, battered,

hit me first!!”

“Kalian

both of you, why are you defending that Dutch boy, ha ? Are you guys no more

again looking at me as the head of the household in this house ?!”

“Do not

misunderstand me, brother... Can't you speak well ? Where is Ki Panji

The Asmoro I used to know was friendly and polite ? Remember, kang .

follow the emotions that could hurt us all,” Trinil said

he looked at his daughter and gestured for Allan to leave. Mira understands, what

it must be done, so he pulled Allan's hand and moved away from the front

His father is in a state of flutter.

Moments

the young men moved away, Panji Asmoro raised his voice even more, “Mau

where are you !!! Dad's not done talking to you, kid doesn't know custom !!”

“Plak !!”

a loud slap landed on the cheek of the Asmoro Panji, Trinil had already slapped him

and stared intently at the man in his 50s, “I'm sorry

i, kang .. was forced to do that because your words were really rude

against Mira,” he said as he stepped away from the Asmoro Panji that was still

stand like a statue. His emotions instantly disappeared, everywhere

step in following Trinil.

“Master

Young Allan, forgive my father,” said Mira when she was away from her home. Allan

like a man who has lost his memory, the incident made him Shock. It dawned

when Mira's springy fingers touch her chin, 2 pairs of young eyes

look at each other, “Young master Allan, now you know how angry my father was

Sir came to the house. For a while, sir don't go to the house first.

the time is right, I'll see you myself. What in your opinion

?” said Mira softly.

Allan

nodding, with a careless step, he left Mira still standing

alone in that place. After Allan's death, Mira's pair of eyes glazed over,

“I'm sorry, I, Mr. .. maybe this is the last time we meet. Tomorrow, though,

Dad will take me away from this place. If there is a soul mate, I will return

at Mr....” he said inwardly then he ran away from the place

while crying.
