As he was about to leave for the garden, Abah reminded Dini not to meet again with Revelation. Because the workers who are also villagers ask about the closeness of Dini and Revelation who have married. They thought Dini was the third person between Revelation and Bella.
"Please beg you. Don't embarrass Abah. And don't you ruin your own reputation!", said Abah who was upset with Dini's attitude.
"Do not get me wrong, we are just friends. What's wrong if we become friends?", replied Dini who did not want to be blamed.
"No, it's not wrong that he's your friend. But that was before he got married. After all, where there is a girl and a married man have a closeness that every day meet and eat together it is called a friend. Who has a friend to eat!", reply Abah whose emotions began to rise.
"Change.".", said Dini but, he had not had time to finish it.
"Enough! Do you realize that you are the third person between Revelation and his wife? Have you never thought how broken Abah and Mom's heart would be when listening to information like this? Where's your common sense, Din? You know you love him! But, a good man is not just him in this world! Abah is really disappointed in you this time!", said Abah who was immediately angry again because Abah considers that Dini is selfish and does not think about the feelings of others. Whatever the reason Abah has decided that Dini no longer needs to help Abah in the garden or on the farm.
Early Eyes began to glaze over. This is not fair to Dini. Just because he was adjacent to Revelation, Abah immediately prevented Dini from working in the garden and on the farm. Dini had begged Abah to withdraw her words. But Abah cannot be denied. Once Abah says no, it means no. And that made Dini even more sad and disappointed.
Abah told Dini to go into his room. With a step gontai Dini followed Abah's orders while crying. Abah also ordered Mother to always monitor Dini and not to let Dini out on permission from Abah.
While Tejo has gone to the garden without breakfast first as usual. My mother complained to Abah about this. That's because I'm worried about Tejo. Moreover, Tejo's work includes weight. If he did not eat breakfast, his body would be weak and would become sick.
I understand what my mom is worried about. Abah tries to calm Mom down and promises to remind Tejo of breakfast later when Abah meets her in the garden.
And in the garden, Tejo is very serious about his work. He did not think of his hungry stomach. The anger in his heart was greater than the hunger in his stomach. With the money he had received from Abah, Tejo now chose to buy his own food instead of eating at Dini's house and meeting her.
"Jo", someone called while patting Tejo's shoulder from behind.
Tejo stopped his work and looked back, "Eh, Abah. What's up, Bah? Tumben Abah this hour has come?"
"Why don't you have breakfast at Jo's? Mom is worried about you. Is there a problem with Jo?", asked Abah who was also worried about Tejo.
"I feel ashamed if I continue to enjoy the kindness of Abah and Mother. I only ask foreigners who are hitchhiking at Abah's house added again given the same job Abah. Breakfast time I had to ride too. With the salary I receive, I can really buy my own food. Or I'm looking for a rental house here. Let there be no slander that" replied Tejo at length who really wanted to stay away from Dini.
"Indeed, Abah has something wrong with you until you want to find a rental house?", asked Abah with her pouting face.
Tejo lowered his head and shook it. He was very afraid Abah scolded him because he was presumptuous to move from Abah's house.
"Then? Mama? Did Mom have anything wrong with you?", asked Abah again.
And again, Tejo shook his head. Yes, this is not the fault of Abah or Mother. Were they that dear to Tejo to the extent of worrying about Tejo.
"Keep why Jo? Why don't you answer Abah's question? Oh, or because of Dini? Does Dini disappoint you?", guess Abah.
Tejo is still down. But, this time Abah's guess was right. Tejo was disappointed with Dini. He loves Dini so much. To the extent that he also told her his feelings to Dini. He thought, Dini also loves him and will immediately accept his love. Though Tejo will be sincere even though it will only be an Early outlet. However, all of Tejo's allegations were wrong. Dini instead chooses back to the Revelation that has given her wounds. But Tejo could do nothing. Even Dini did not want to hear it and called him a stranger who did not need to interfere in his affairs.
"Jo, is this really all because of Dini? Do you really love him?" guess Abah again is very curious about the answer from Tejo.
Tejo smiled, "Change, it doesn't feel right that I love Abah's son. Too presumptuous as it seems. Moreover, I am just a stranger who does not even know my own identity. Abah need not worry. I just don't want to trouble Abah and Mom. I'm a man so I should be independent".
Abah shook his head, he felt sad to hear Tejo's reply, "But, the one Abah saw your eyes saying another. Abah remembers you once expressed love to Dini. You can't lie Jo".
Yeah, Tejo can't dodge anymore. Abah knew Tejo was hurting. Then, Abah hugged Tejo to calm his heart a little. Tejo accepts Abah's treatment of her. It was like feeling a father's embrace in him.
And at that moment suddenly there was a shadow in Tejo's mind. The shadow was exactly the same as what he was doing now. Cuddling with a father. But, Alan could not remember the face that was in his shadow. Alan was in pain in his head. He groaned while holding his head. Abah becomes shocked to see Tejo in pain.
"Jo, what's wrong?", asked Abah frantically while holding Tejo's body that was about to fall.
Tejo tried to calm himself. He slowly breaths. After that Tejo just said he was okay. Because it often happens when there is a shadow that comes to his mind. Abah can't say anything more. Because it seems like Tejo wants to avoid them.
