Jinny appeared in the crowd of people watching the ball. Far away on the edge of the village field, the village children were struggling to kick a ball on the field. Jinny so admired the agility of their feet. Instantly in the spirit of the ball game. Jinny moved the ball magically into his hand. All the players including the villagers were confused to see the ball disappear suddenly. “Loh how the ball is anyway?” ask one of the kids. They were busy looking around the field. A player knows how to see their ball hovering on the sidelines. “That's the ball!” kontan everyone looked there.
All the people there were shocked, they were scared and scrambled to escape until one of the ball players fell in the crowd. The man tried to get up in the middle of the running men, he held the pants of another footballer until his pants sagged to the ground. Jinny laughed and then just disappeared.
After the commotion, Jinny appears next to Jun's study closet. “See the boss, what Jinny brought.” the ghostly woman popped a ball in her open hand.
“That's a ball. Where did you get it from? Don't you steal it!”
“Well the boss, Jinny can not help dong, Jinny has made his twin boss. Who knows if the boss wants to play ball with Jinny.”
“That's a little boy's game Jinny.”
“Continue? Boss wants adult games huh?”
“Don't be weird. June again think tomorrow nih.”
“Tomorrow school boss right? Make thought of the boss. Boss wants to skip yes?”
“Aduh Jinny! You are teaching Jun who is not aja.”
“Abis boss is often manyun anyway.”
“So tomorrow, Sister Shelly wants to camp, well Jun was told to come!”
“Kalo so cool dong bos. Why is the boss sad?”
“Yes, because if Sister Shelly is the same, then Jun will just be a clown for them. Jun doesn't want the queens of Shelly's sister Jun who is weird!”
“Oh that's the boss' ales?” Jinny sits himself in Jun's bed. “Kalo is so her business, let Jinny pretend to be the boss's girlfriend. That way, Mbak Shelly will not rest with the boss.”
“That's a great idea for you Jinny!”
“Kalo boss has agreed. Jinny wants to go first boss.”
“You've never been home anyway.”
“Jinny already have a lot of ghost friends here boss, right baby if Jinny never come to them.”
“There are you. But don't forget tomorrow!”
“Every boss!” Jinny disappeared into the light.
In addition, Shelly has prepared her belongings into a suitcase. “Fried oil, perfumed oil already. Combs are also already, let alone yes?” Shelly thought for a moment. “Oh yes! Like cool if you bring beef, Shelly asked first with Bi Iyem.”
Shelly left her room. While in the kitchen Bi Iyem was cooking fried fish, the fat woman was cooking while singing and wiggling funny. Jinny who just came home from his ghost friends. He approached Bi Iyem and poked the hot oil from the grilled fish. “Gurih really! Jinny so want it!”
Bi Iyem turned over, preparing dinner for Pak Bondan's family. Jinny pointed at his index finger, the newly washed dishes floated by themselves and lined themselves up into their respective places. “Udah Jinny finish yes mbok. Jinny can dong ask for the fish.” Jinny took the plate with his hand. A piece of gurame fish was being cut by Jinny with a knife. Bi Iyem returned again to the kitchen and was shocked to see a knife with a plate floating in the air. “Ha! Ghost!” the fat maid ran and Shelly appeared to open the kitchen door. They hit each other.
“Aw bi! Shelly was hit anyway!”
“That's mbak, aunty just saw a floating plate!”
“Mana? Ah, you ngaco times Yem.”
“Kalo mbak can't believe. Here Iyem show the same Mbak!”
They've reached the kitchen. And there's not a single plate floating. Shelly approached the fryer. The young woman was surprised to get a gurame fish living in her bones. “Yem! Here you!”
Bi Iyem came over while bending his arms folded forward. “Iya mbak, what is it?”
“You finished the gouramenya huh? How is the bone!”
Iyem directly checked the old frying pan. “Not really mbak. Iyem was actually cooking the fish kok.”
“Gue aduin lo to mama, papa. Lo about dong if you want nyicipin, time everything load!” Shelly is upset leaving the confused Iyem in the kitchen.
“Aduh, who else is the same fad Iyem!”
Mr. Bondan's family is waiting for the food menu that their maid will bring. Jun just came and joined himself at the dinner table.
Shelly appeared with her face down.
“Pah, Mah. Iyem finished his fish!”
“You really are. Iyem never eat his own food loh.” Miss Bondan doesn't believe that much.
“Perhaps, Iyem has not eaten from morning, he is very busy, his work is also good. So maybe if the gurame fish, Iyem selenin!” Mr. Bondan did not lose defending his maid.
“Definitely Jinny's work!” Jun grumbled alone. “Jinny! You are so naughty!”
“Heh Jun! You're yelling rich crazy that's it?” Ms. Bondan reprimanded him.
“Si Jun seems to be really contagious Cathrine de mah!”
“Jun, if you are in love again, you should know the situation dong, we all have not eaten nih.” Mr. Bondan looked at his son in annoyance.
“Kalo lo full eat love. Yes already, you just say the name Jinny aja, until your stomach runs rich Bi Iyem!”
“Mbak always makes Jun kel anyway. Good talk dong!”
“Mending you make food for us gih, sana!” Mrs Bondan said she put the glass down after drinking it.
“Okedeh, but beware yes, if tomorrow Jun dergerjain temen-temen mbak.”
“Got going to. I told them all. If you are already big, so can't be a clown anymore.”
Jun got to the kitchen where Bi Iyem was already frying the fish again. But the size of the fish is so small.
“Iya Mas's. Aunty just found catfish in the refrigerator.”
“Kalo gini, we can not eat dong bi. Where the catfish is just one more.”
“Sorry to Mas Jun. Aunty is also confused, the time of such fish can really abis, even though aunt just left the kitchen for a while Mas. Does this house really have ghosts huh?”
“But a bi! Jun wants to go to the restroom first!” Jun closed the bathroom door and opened the horden in the empty tub bathhouse. Jinny was finishing a gurame fish in an empty bathtub.
“So great boss of grilled fish!”
“How are you! We haven't all eaten. Where is the teacher just one more.”
“Aduh Jinny apologized, yes, Mr. Jun. The fish is tempting anyway, so Jinny eats aja.”
“You used to never eat well huh?”
Jinny cleaned her dirty lasting dress because of the food soy sauce in one blink. All her lips that were smitten with soy sauce in an instant cleared back.
“Boro-boro Jinny wants to eat good boss. Boss knows? Our life in England four hundred years ago, it makes no difference to the boss nation when colonized by the Netherlands.”
“Yes, Jun knows. But you have to help Jun cook ya!”
Jinny stood up to form a doughnut from his hand.
“OK boss!”
***
Jun is already dressed as a chef. Jinny was nearby.
“Jinny's job is to cut up the boss?”
“Iya, hence, neat cut yes!” Jinny nodded hearing that.
The ghostly woman moved the knife to cut and chop onions, stir-fry, celery and all the kitchen spices.
“But cepet cepet?”
“Bos would know that Jinny is not human.” Jinny was a little annoyed at Jun's question.
“It doesn't exist. Jun has to go where?”
“Jinny has an idea for the boss. How about boss Jun, follow Jinny to port now!”
“Emang Jinny can?”
“The boss really underestimated Jinny anyway. Jinny can ting boss, anyway deh.”
“Yaudah, but cepet yes!”
Jun agreed to Jinny's invitation. The young man held the thumb of Jinny's hand and they moved in an instant to a boat dock. Jun was amazed to see the surrounding, there were many fishermen and people pulling rope dikrek fish catch at sea. “Kok his people are white all the hell, Jinny? Now where are we?”
“We are now in the waters of Amsterdam boss.”
“Kok is so far away! Not in Indonesia there are also many fish.”
“Well the boss, Jinny will not have a marine passport Indonesia boss, Jinny usually to England with the Netherlands aja.”
“Kalo so, let's take the fish!” Jun went first to catch the fishes jumping on the farmer's nets. When he had already obtained two fresh and large gurames. European men appear in black sweater and wide-brimmed. “Hei! Who are! Return the fish!” the man shouted in Dutch.
Jun immediately ran up the wooden bridge. Jinny appeared on a row of boats owned by fishermen. “Come boss cepet!”
“Bigger! Who are you boy!”
Jun is instantly lost when the alien man chases after him with his five men. The two had reached the kitchen, Jun immediately fried everything.
“Kok Jun can understand their language huh Jinny?”
“Iya boss, because Jinny is there, so the boss can know what the Dutchman is talking about.”
“Are you Dutch too?”
“Mother Jinny once lived in Gravenhage boss, so Jinny is not entirely a British woman, but Dutch too!” Jinny giggled at the end of his voice.
“Well, it's done, you don't finish the savory again ya!” Jun prepared a large plate with his freshly fried gurame.
“Ready Master Jun!” Jinny was shocked to see Iyem coming with his confused face.
“Loh Mas Jun dapet from where the fish? That feeling is over?”
“Ehm, that's bi, Jun was out for a while shopping. There just happens to be a discount! So Jun buy two deh.”
“Oh is that? Yuk Bi Iyem help.”
They also ate well that night. Mr. Bondan felt a strangeness in his fish. “Kok gouramenya not rich usually anyway, Jun? Where did you buy it?”
“Kan Jun take directly to sea Amsterdam pa!” Jun instantly closed his mouth.
“What! Amsterdam?” Madam Bondan was surprised.
“Si Jun seems really fat deh ma. It must be because of Cathrine!”
Everything at the dinner table hits Jun Gonta over. Jinny just laughed beside Jun. “Udah boss, fish for Jinny yes!”
Jun's plate drifted until Mr. Bondan and Ms. Bondan were shocked to see it. Shelly screams with Jun laughing at them.
