Salim's Pov
A few days ago was a worrying day for me. Those two men just kidnapped my little lady. Just because of an inheritance I never signed they kidnapped Ave. Jayanatra's family and I cannot punish them for their kidnapping due to lack of evidence.
"Le, what do you think? Ojo keakehan thought sing liyane," said Eyang Yaya on the front porch while enjoying the twilight.
"Salim doesn't think of anything else, Eyang. Salim was worried about this situation." I glanced forward looking at Ave who was busy with his bike.
"Eyang ora salahake, Le. Who knows posisine kowe." [That doesn't blame you, son. They understand your position ]
"Truely said Eyang, Le. We never once blamed you for what happened to Ave" said Brata's father who was in the living room.
"If we had received a proposal from his father Dimas, we wouldn't be living like this now. His father was a power-hungry man just like your uncle-Husni" said Brata's father.
"Bapak yo ora seneng karo sopo iku jenenge. Mr. Lali," interrupted Eyang Yaya while fixing his blangkon. [Father, I do not like what his name is. I forgot to ]
"Slamet Tri Arif Harimuti, sir his father's name is Dimas" Brata's father replied with a smile.
"Father of wes ora seneng karo wong iku first kaline. Wong iku ora duwe chic manners," sergeant Eyang Yaya showed a dislike face. [Father didn't like that guy the first time. The man had no good manners ]
"You know what, Lim? We gave Ave to you not only because of your mother's kindness, but since childhood your father and father were friends. This friendship brought you and Ave together. I'm calm if I give Ave to your hands," said Dad while looking at his little daughter who was engrossed in bicycle play.
"Yo opo toh Cah Ayu iku? Pot kok kembang yo pierced." Eyang Yaya could only shake his head at Ave's reckless behavior. (What the hell is this ayu? Flower pot was hit)

Ave's Pov
"Eat him on the bike don't daydream, '" said Salim, who treated my fallen knee.
Not to help me fall. Eyang Yaya and Salim laughed. It was irritated to see Salim's laughter.
"Where Ave knows if there's a pot ahead" I refuted in self-defense.
"In addition, the mbok Sum put the pot there. Ave mana see." I said with shame.
"Auwh's sick, Lim." My eyes bulged as Salim accidentally pressed against my wound.
"That's called a bad boy."
"How come Ave's naughty?" I was angry at it like that.
"Not willing to obey mother and eye Uti," his snort was annoyed.
"What is Eyang Uti's genenge called?" Yes, Eyang Uti is coming.
"This is Eyang. Si Ave did not want to obey Ambar and Eyang Uti's mother to stay in the room alone. He did not finally fall off the bike," Salim scolded like a road.
Eyang Uti opened his reading glasses and looked at me.
"Pancen kok arek siji iki nurut karo wong tua. Kowe naughty, Nduk." [Indeed, this one child is not the same as parents. You're naughty, Nduk ]
"Kok Eyang Uti with Salim angratin Ave?" I can't take it when I'm naughty. I got bored in my room.
"Kowe is a sane bag, Nduk." I will not win against the words of Eyang Uti.
I'd rather just obey than the whole house scold me all out. Although, I was still in the care of a doctor and should not go to college yet still I felt very bored.
"La's got the endi anyway kowe, Nduk?"
He said he asked to enter the room. Now Eyang Uti was confused because I entered. Who forgot who it was? Me or eyang Uti?
"Ave is going to the room, Eyang," I replied with annoyance towards Salim.

The poolside gazebo. Brata and her extended family are gathering to discuss Bagas' marriage and his fiancee-Dian.
"What if this show we're going twice? Today is Bagas and Dian's wedding. A week later we marry Cah Ayu and Salim?" Brata. Eyang Yaya scratched his head.
"Father agrees karo kowe, Le. Ojo bebarengan wedding event. Bagas lan Dian sek sing marital," said Eyang Yaya replied steadily.
"How's Jaka? You agree with me, don't you?" brata asked Jaka in front of him.
"I leave everything to you, Brata. I believe in you, too" replied Jaka, who handed over all the decisions to Brata.
"Yo what sir? Dadine date piro sing slick gawe ngunduh ghost?" Brata asked her father who was looking at the calendar.
"Nah Cah Bagas July 16. Thursday Pahing," continued Yaya while circling the black mark on the calendar.
"You didn't expect that Yaya's eyes were good at picking dates." Admired Jaka who was so fast eyang Yaya chose the date.
"Choose gawe day ngunduh mantu iku kudu ati-ati, Jaka. Ana tata rules. The misty-mugi of my marriage is lasting." Said Eyang Yaya spirit because it was praised.
"It's over to determine the date. Now we decide the place of the wedding," said Brata.
"Ning omah ae, uh, Le. Kok yo seneng gawe bothered dewe," refuted Eyang Yaya who disagreed if the wedding event was outside.
"Enough enough anyway, sir'e?" Brata asked back.
"Father of ora ngundang wong akeh-akeh. Sak enough'e ae, Le." The advice of Eyang Yaya who does not want many invitations.
Finally Brata gave up. No one can dispute his father except his own mother.
Ave, Salim and Bagas were silent when there was this meeting. They just listen, nod their heads if they agree and look. One thing that Eyang Yaya did not like was when there were people who did not listen to his words.
All the children of Jayanatra had to obey the words of Eyang Yaya without dispute. There are other things as his denials. Like deciding on your own school and having your own opinion. If the opinion expressed is not pleasing to Eyang Yaya then Eyang will give his own opinion.
Actually, Eyang Yaya is not an authoritarian, stubborn and feared person. He was just a man who obeyed the ancient rules. Where young people should be able to respect older people. You should not argue when parents are talking. According to and subject to the rules that have existed since Eyang Yaya was not born making young children in the Jayanatra family can not be violated.
The words of Eyang Yaya could only be refuted by his own wife. Despite often refuting the words of Eyang Yaya, Eyang Uti still respected her husband.
"Bah Bagas, yen kowe and Cah Ayu Dian arep metu ning endi ae. Mulihne aja to bengi. Eyang knows kowe wes fiancee but aja gawa arek wadon mulih bengi. I'm polite, Cah Bagas." Eyang Yaya's advice to Bagas as he passed away. Bagas kept silent and nodded.
"What is true that your eyes say, Bagas?" Omel his father with a surprised expression.
"What time are you home?" Investigating his father stared intensely at his only son.
Being stared at like that made Bagas shudderless. The two people Bagas feared in his house were Eyang Yaya and his father.
"Kangmas Bagas came home at one in the morning, Father," said Ave who knew his brother came home in the early hours of the morning. Bagas glanced back at his sister.
"Oh Allah, Bagas. Why did you come home in the morning?" Angered Brata makes the new Ambar from the kitchen surprised.
"What's up, Mom?" Ambar said in shock.
"Your son. Come home early with Dian. You know for yourself the view of the people here, Dek?"
Ambar was stunned to not expect his children to go home in the early hours.
Jaka calms Brata down by patting her shoulder.
"Advertisement father! Where have you been with Dian?" Brata's wrath is instant because Bagas never came home in the morning. It has been a week many neighbors who say Bagas came home in the early hours.
"Bagas isn't going anywhere dad. We were just hanging out with other friends" Bagas said.
"From tomorrow, don't go anywhere. Let Dian come here or let Ave and Salim follow you," said his father who upset Bagas.
"Dad, Bagas is not a child anymore. Bagas has the right to go home at what time," Bagas said.
Brata stared intently at her son.
"Bagas, listen to your father, son," said Ambar mediate so as not to have a fight tonight.
"But Buu. Daddy outrageous. Bagas is mature and Bagas does not violate anything. Just go home early. Bagas also wants to be like other friends who can play until night," Bagas argued.
Ave and Salim did not dare to comment.
"It's up to you to start now. If you get Dian pregnant before marriage. Don't expect you to make your way to the pelaminan" Brata threatened as she passed away.
"Mas, watch your talk anyway. Masa masa wants to be like before. Insyaf Mas." Ambar fight a little.
All families know that Bagas is a child who does not like to be restrained according to the rules. Bagas never went to school for almost two days. His teacher thought Bagas was sick. However, when visiting his home. They didn't find Bagas at home. He was playing in a Playstation at Warnet.
Brata dragged her son Bagas out of the cafe. Brata's patience limit is running out. He hit Bagas with a rattan for fighting back when spoken to carefully. Bagas whose emotions were still unstable at the age of eight accidentally pushed a small Ave from the top of a tree.
"Bagas knows the rules of fatherhood!" Shouted Bagas toned.
Ave knew that her brother and father never got along. There is a gap between the two of them. But Ave didn't know. Everyone knows the secret that caused Ave to experience blindness. Except Ave.

Ave never fell from a tree. Her brother accidentally took the fruit on top of the tree to make Ave fall.
But Ave didn't suffer from blindness. Just a broken bone.
