Episode 3 First Confession

    A bright morning greeted me gently, the sun seemed to work so diligently illuminating the day, So also with Renata and Artia who are so active are washing cloth and dishes in the river near the rice field, which is,

" it seems like bang Pitra likes your nickname ".timpal Artia on Re

     hearing this for a while Re was silent from his activities

" why did you say that ?" ask Re

" the way she looked at you and the other attitude of bang pitra" Artia replied back

" don't know "re reply Re, who was not sure of it

" He was kind, diligent again, liked him help his Grandma to the fields, nyari firewood, ngrawat **** behind the house , alright anyway "Explanation from Artia, and can only nod from Renata, though,

" huuuiiiiiii "heard Peter's cry from afar, walking near Artia and Renata, and, they both looked up to find the source of the voice and found Peter walking up to them with a hoe and looked messy because he had just finished plowing the rice fields owned by his family.

" have you been here long ? " ask Peter cheerfully and enter into the river to cleanse himself from the land of the former rice fields not to forget his hoe,

" yes, this is done and will want to go home" said Artia, and has gone up the river to go home, as well as Re, he said,

" Re there's that pacet at your feet" said Peter pointing at Renata's feet,

      Hearing this, Renata who was afraid of Pacet suddenly reacted by jumping up and down to her cousin Artia, asking for help by screaming in fear,

" Stop jumping I can't see ', calm down" Artia said as she searched for a pacet between Re's legs, but couldn't find it

 Renata, who was as silent as a statue, raised his hands up like someone was pointing a gun at him, hoping to be saved from the blood-sucking beast,

"I lie" said Peter, laughing loudly, coming out of the river and approaching them both

" you don't have to pretend to be afraid like that" Peter told Re

" he was indeed afraid of small animals, such as pacets, leeches, worms, gentleness, cockroaches, maggots etc. because perhaps in his city he did not find it "artia's explanation to Peter, he said, Renata who is still parno will Pacet can not walk with focus, Re can not even be angry because of being bullied by Peter for being too afraid, Re could not even be angry because he was too scared, Re just walked home carrying his clean plate with a feeling of fear and amusement that spread from his feet, as if Re believed that there had been a Pacet stick on his feet before.

    " It doesn't seem like anyone's home" Artia told Re,

because they found the house empty, they,

" Where is everybody going ? " Tanya Re, walked towards the kitchen and arranged the dishes onto the plate rack, leaving Artia in front who was also doing her activities

" Hi Re" Tison said from the back door that made Renata shocked again, the feeling of a pacet still haunts Re, and now his legs are limp from being shocked again

" Oh my God, he said limply looking at Tison standing at the back door

" why? I surprised you ? " ask Tison

" yes "answer Re limp

" excuse me, by the way where are Mama and Rich ? ask Tison after apologizing

" don't know, the empty house was when we got to , why ?" ask Re

" this, I've brought a banana stem to cook dodol, Mama asked for help to take it, I've put it behind ya "tison explained

" oh ok, maybe they go coconut nyari or buy her flour" replied Re who dibales nod by Tison

" so stay 2 more days of your vacation here huh ?" ask Tison

" yes, go to school again" Re replied

" do you have an HP number you can call ?" ask Tison

" Mama number or Rich brother number, why ? mama said I can use HP if it's high school, why bang ? " ask Re

" yes in order to call you sometime, want to know your news too, will soon come to him in 12 months again will "ask Tison

" yes it's still a long time, I don't have a number, asked Rich's brother if you want to know my news, "Re replied

" no punks they "answered Tison

" what does nobody want ? " answer Re back to ketus

" well do not be angry, or when you can hold HP , we smsan so that you can hold HP" asked Tison again ,

" time to go home from school, the night to finish studying, so "answer him

" just save my number, text me if you can already hold HP "tison ink

" well if you don't forget "re replied, Re received a paper from Tison

"why are you two-two behind ?" tanya Artia who had finished drying the cloth when she found Re was alone with Tison

" Nothing, just talking" replied Re

"That's ahead there's Auntie Bang Rich just arrived from the market, you were singing Auntie, Tison "typical Artia

" yes" he said, then walked forward to meet Ms. Rosita and Rich

    Since Mother Rosita's family vacation is coming to an end, Mother Rosita wants to make a dodol for souvenirs to bring to town and share it with Rosita's neighbors and friends , so tonight they are preparing the dodol, it has become a tradition that when there are those who make dodol then the Boys will gather and help for it , so that Rich and his friends are ready with all their preparations, Tison who collects banana stems that will be the legs for the Fire furnace later, Tison, Andrew and Ringgo are ready with a gathering of firewood and a large spoon to pedal coconut milk until it thickens later, not to forget also with Peter who is ready with his energy, he said, Because the process of making dodols takes a long time and effort, they will make dodols in front of Granny Re House, which starts at 17:00 Wib which may be completed in the middle of the night, so part of Renata and Artia is to provide consumption for those who work hard.

    Acarapun began, The fire has been turned on, Mother Rosita has started by filtering coconut and produce coconut milk thick, preparing brown sugar and flour and durian to shield the taste, the activity continues, Rich, Rich, Tison, Andrew and Ringgo, they took turns paddling coconut milk, and,

" The Pitra didn't come along" Rosita's mother asked them

" oh yeah Auntie, she went for a while to town with her Grandma Check up, new night to come here, maybe the night she came here Auntie" explanation from Andrew because they are neighbors so he knows clearly about it

" yes, I don't think koq here he's "typical Miss Rosita

" remembering Tison, you yesterday sent a letter to my son Renata "asked Rosita ma'am

 Sontak made all of them shocked, as well as Rich, turned to look at Re sharply, looking at him,

" Re we'll see you at the Rambutan tree there's something I want to say. Like that you said Tison " ledek Rosita's mother,

they all laughed loudly at this, as well as Tison, Tison could not respond to it, Tison just laughed and was busy pitting Santan on a frying pan,

" That's not it, the little Auntie's son, can't date yet," said Aunt again

" yes aunt" answered Tison shyly

" lady... Sugar depleted. " Shouted Re

" can't make this tea" Re continued

" well have bought there to the Javanese stall" continued Ms. Rosita

    Re responded to his mother by asking for money,

" Who is my friend, do not dare me there night, dark in the middle of the palm" said Re

" Don't want to, don't dare me, afraid of snakes passing by, "re replied back

" just like Tison was there" said Rosita's mother

" come with Tison, and make your letter clear" said Rosita's mother again mocked Tison

Tison and Re went to the Javanese wak shop, they passed the church and entered the dark and silent palm oil plantation , there was no sentence between them for a while,

" So hear what my mom didn't say about my letter ?" ask Tison about Re

" no, I'm in the kitchen, don't listen, what is it? " ask Re

" If I like you" replied Tison honestly and frontally,

Who was only met with a gaze from Re and continued to walk down the narrow path in the middle of the garden

" didn't you hear ? " ask Tison again

" yes " Answer Re

" What does it keep ? what am I supposed to do with this naggapin? " ask Re back to Tison

" what about me ? " ask Tison Again

" Maybe it's not there yet, but it could definitely "break Tison in the middle of their silence

" what is ?" ask Re

" your liking feeling will be me "tison timpal

    Re went back to silence, in Re's mind I don't know if I wasn't sure either , for a while Re was so immersed in the gentle attitude of Pitra but Re again unsure because Pitra was so relaxed as to just behave to his little sister, then Re gets a direct confession like this Re again does not understand his feelings, the feelings Re receives are different, in contrast to when Re receives a gentle swipe in his head from Pitra, the feelings are , the heartbeat still haunts Re, the raging feeling Re realizes there is a feeling of like there but is closed with the impression of a brother on his sister, Re, then the recognition of this feeling Re's heart was also racing to hear it but Re was not curious about Tison's feelings, Re is happy to know that someone likes him but not as happy as when Re gets a good night's sleep and a soft caress in the head.

    They get home and find Pitra there, Re sees Pitra and smiles, Tison rejoins them and Re goes back to prepare Tea

" where's your grandmother Pit, ? " task Tison to Pitra

" well, just check his knee, so it's normal, and fine "Pitra replied

" good" said Tison back, and in a nod by Pitra

They are again busy with the activity of making dodol, and,

    A few hours passed at last the coconut milk and glutinous flour began to thicken signifying soon the dodol will be finished and finished, but at the time of thickening so they must continue to pedal until really thick, really thick, At 21:00 finally dodol is dead, they cool Dodol in banana leaves before finally arranged in 1kg sugar plastic to be packed home, Tison and her friends began to tidy the fireplace and others, Tison and others,

" Thank you everyone" said Rosita's mother, later when it's cold you can take to bring home, yes" said Rosita ma'am

" yes "answered by them simultaneously ,

Rich and the others start singing while playing the guitar finishing their tiring day and spending time together as Rich is about to set off back for the city, in the middle of Pitra's activities into the house with a small bag, Pitra found Re who was in the kitchen was tidying up all the glasses and other equipment, and he was looking at the kitchen, Pitra pulled Re's hand gently towards the back door, Re followed in a daze

" why, why ?" ask Re

" nothing, this is for you "reply with Pitra by giving him a Diary book

" for me, whose diary is this ?" ask Re

" Your book, for you, write your activities over there later, but when you come back here again I'll read it " replied Pitra explained, and Re was just confused to hear it, and Re just confused to hear it, Re just fell silent and winked his eyes looking at Pitra , seeing that Pitra can only laugh a little anxiously looking at Re

" This book you bring to your city, write whatever you experience there, later in the 12th month I come home and I just read, so ok "an explanation from Pitra again

" for what, why did you read my diary ? why do you give me a try diary book ? I never wrote the diary "typal Re

" yes so that ever , and I want to know whatever your activities, but you do not have HP so write here later back here I read, gituloh" said Pitra this time furiously

" why ?" re came back firmly

" Geez if it's hard you just write Re, I'm not fighting "impal Pitra back

little laughter Re gave to respond to the words of Pitra

" mm okay whatever, if I remember I wrote " said Re then walked back to the kitchen

" Re "call Pitra back gently

" yes" said re looking back at Pitra

" not if you remember, anything is okay, if you want to be angry, poetry, doodles, your favorite songs, the names of your friends, whatever, WHATEVER , " said pitra while looking fixedly at Renata's face,

    Re who was embarrassed was seen so by only responding with yes then went to the room to keep Diary in his Bag. again the heartbeat approached Re, Re, the heartbeat that makes Re confused means, Re's heart is racing just with Pitra calling softly his name, Re's heart is pounding again when Pitra only explains the function of a Diary book.
