Chapter 29's

POV Author

"Dad, can I have a new motorcycle?" Kinan asked his father who was sitting in the living room chair.

"no need. You're just enough of that motorcycle. No need to replace the new one" said Mr. Brata Mr. Kinan.

You know what Kinan's father did? Every day he carried wood in the forest, working for Mr. Rendra the carpenter. The hope of Mr. Kinan to his son Kinan is that hopefully he can go to college someday even though every day Mr. Brata's money, is not enough to shop for a day's meal.

Kinan son who likes to go out by asking for gas money to his father. Sometimes Kinan had to go busking with his friends outside. Kinan is a lazy boy, sometimes he goes to Maya's house to ask for money.

Today is a new day for Maya, as she is now moving into her old rented house. Contract next to Kinan's house.

"Here Sir!" maya told the driver to help move some of her empty home appliances. Mr. Firman and Luna have returned to Jakarta. The girl graduated from High School. Mr. Firman permission pardon Mr. Doni want to move work he said.

On the way back to Jakarta, Luna with her Father Firman. Luna asked the Word.

"Well, whose rented house is it now?" ask Luna to her Father Word.

"If it's not wrong, the house will be occupied by the first owner of the house, Maya."

"May?" Luna asked Mr. Firman. Luna still remembers seeing a photo of Maya seen on the wall of her rented house some time ago. The photo was then replaced by Maya because according to Luna, Luna was the one who deserved to be in the picture frame. The photo Luna replace with Photo Luna.

And right now, Luna is eager to meet Maya, but how? Maybe next time Luna meets Maya later if there is money to go to Surabaya.

"Yes, that's right over there, sir!" maya said to the driver. Luna was still packing the items by being followed by Aldi who had just come aboard his black Avanza car.

"The aldi? You coming?" maya said to Aldi who had just arrived. The man smiled seeing Maya greet him that afternoon. In his heart Aldi was actually disappointed because Maya had Sudi left his old house. That's Mr. Doni's house he's leaving now.

"Aldi, I'm sorry. I've done you wrong. I have let you down, have left your house all of a sudden. I can't say anything but apologize to you.

"I'm sorry Aldi. Ii'm sorry. I've been guilty of you. You can play here if you want." Maya tries to make Aldi happy with Maya's situation. Although actually in his heart Aldi was sad and crying. In Aldi's mind, the man will not praise his female friends anymore at home.

"It's okay Maya, I'll play this house if I'm bored at home or feel alone. I can't stay in that house constantly. I will feel lonely without you at home. Truly Maya, I will feel lonely." Aldi said to Maya.

The man is devastated and greatly lost when Maya moves into the new rented house. The woman can only smile without knowing the true heart of Aldi.

"What will you do after this Maya?"

"I'll take a shower first Aldi. I'm sultry and dry. Do you want to wait here or go straight home?" maya to Aldi.

"I want to stay here for a while while looking at the contents of the house" replied Aldi.

"Can, all right then. I'm sorry to go to the bathroom first, but before that I'll make you drink to me ya Al."

"No need to bother Maya. I can buy a drink outside if I need to."

"No Aldi, you're my guest. Honorary guest. You're the boss's son, Mr. Doni. You understand, don't you?"

"May. Don't tell a lot of stories, I'm tired of hearing your stories."

"This is not Aldi's story, this is honest from my heart!" maya said to Aldi pleased. The woman was very happy to be able to move into the house and could be with Aldi or the woman had to meet a handsome and young man named Kinan.

Maya POV

I went to the bathroom to prepare for the bath quickly, I did not want to take too long in the bathroom because at home there was Aldi. She was sitting in the middle room of the rented house that I missed. After the shower I changed clothes and I checked Aldi in the middle room, he was not there. I tidied up my white towel and went back to the room to get dressed. Maybe Aldi came home first when I took a shower.

Lord, help me, I have no hope now. I'm so sad, why WiFi should not exist. There was a laugh outside to upset me. Thank God, I can still breathe. 

I saw Aldi in front of the house I was talking to the figure of Mr. Brata Mr. Kinan. My heart is so sad, why the one who came out of the house was not Kinan but even Mr. Brata.  God, why do I have to feel this way. I still feel sad because someone doesn't like me there.

WiFi open.

I went to meet Aldi and Mr. Brata who were talking together. Mr. Brata looked straight at me who had just come.

"Well, this is Maya. We were both talking about you. He's a very nice man, lucky that you know this man." Mr. Brata told me. He talks pretty good in front of me.

I tried to shake hands with Mr. Brata whom I had not seen for a long time, about two and a half years or 30 months. Lord, strengthen me here, do not make me sad because of that trivial thing. I can teach and do whatever I can other than that.

Hope the WiFi opens quickly.

"How's Mr Brata doing now, healthy?"

"Healthy Maya, but yesterday I was sick and had a stay at the hospital."

"That's it, sorry I don't know."

"Obviously we don't know, you don't live here?"

"Yes, maybe later I will go to Mr. Brata's house to see Mr. Brata."

"Ngapain is also in the pecking order, I've been cured. I didn't expect you to come to my house to see me, which I'm still asking why you came back here again, what's up Maya?"

"Sir Brata doesn't like my arrival?"

"If I may be honest, yes, I do not like your coming here. It's not that I don't like it from myself, but, I'm afraid of Kinan. He'll get close to you again and will love the way out like yesterday. Looking for happiness on the outside with expectations as if he had a girlfriend on the outside, when in fact he likes a woman like you whom I have absolutely no blessing."

Lord, Mr. Brata spoke bluntly in front of me, I became shriveled and discouraged, very discouraged, the shame in front of Mr. Brata and Aldi made me uncomfortable. Indirectly Mr. Brata has made me ashamed in front of Aldi and in front of him himself.

I need to speak to Mr. Brata. "Sorry Mr. Brata, Kinan's business, it's none of my business. Kinan is Mr. Brata's son, he's also my old friend but, why am I to blame? Wasn't the one who did Mr. Brata's own thing, not me?,

"Honestly, I'm disappointed in Mr. Brata. I think Mr. Brata is happy to have me here, to be able to meet Kinan again and get back together as before."

Mr. Brata smiled sinisterly, he looked towards Aldi and looked the other way. I saw it with both of my eyes. I still want to know what Mr. Brata's attitude is to me.

Mr. Brata left in front of me and Aldi. I still think why Mr. Brata spoke like that in front of me, which makes me disappointed, when before I was very happy and wanted to shake hands with Mr. Brata and tell him, he said, if I come again and want to make Mr. Brata happy and happy. But in fact it's not. Mr. Brata isn't what he used to be, he's another me now.

It seemed, I could not get close to that man who did not expect my presence here, in this rented house. I was very disappointed in Mr. Brata that afternoon.

"Luna?"

"Yes?"

Aldi called me and made me aware, so I woke up and looked around. I still have this place. There were tall trees, elongated twigs of thickets, empty goat cages that were a little dirty, and as breezy as the wind I felt right now. This is a fairly quiet and quiet residential atmosphere with no one else passing by.

The neighborhood didn't change much as long as I didn't live there. Two-and-a-half years is a long time I've left this rented neighborhood. But, maybe someday I will return to my own village on the island of Madura. In Pamekasan. With Mom while accompanying Mom selling Tape.

"Luna, I'll go home first, maybe later if I'm empty, I'll come here again."

I rubbed my two cheeks that were not crying, just wanted to refresh both cheeks.

"Yes, can. Thank you Aldi, for coming here. Don't forget later if you have time, come back here."

"Okay, I'm back!"

"Yes Aldi, don't forget to send greetings to Mr. Doni."

"Yes, I'll tell you."

"okay."

Aldi left on his motorcycle leaving me and the rented house. I was thinking of that guy. He was so kind that he escorted me and accompanied me in this old rented house that felt new to me.

I'm still not ready to pay the rent directly to Mr. Doni's Aliyas office. I still want to calm down and breathe a sigh of relief. How I want to live my life that is this one. I need entertainment and want to watch television for a while. But I remember something, that I still haven't written in my diary.

I want to write it for a while, but maybe I need a break before doing existing activities such as sweeping the house, mopping, washing clothes, and so on. I still want to rest in my room.

I stepped slowly on the stairs of the rented house while saying, I,

"Contract House, I came here again, I came again with my old story and new story that was quite interesting and enough for me to be curious. Welcome me who can't do anything, welcome me a helpless woman with this little bit of sadness at heart. Where I need a friend and a friend to be able to accompany me in this house, whether now, later, or tomorrow.

"The rented house, you heard my words, right? You hear me complaining here, right? You know I'm sad here, but I'm calm about the situation I can't take refuge in anyone else if not God who created me. I'm sure I can be strong but without you here, I can't be anything. Because this is where I started my life, from here I also started the story of my life with Kinan, Mr. Brata and Mr. Driver who had left me since then."

Suddenly there was a voice from behind,

"Yes..!" I immediately turned around to the back, and I saw that there was a Kinan, a handsome and handsome, white man in front of me in a saffron or orange yellow t-shirt, and three-quarters white pants. He came at me with slow steps.

God, is he really Kinan?

"Kinan, is that you?"

"Yes Maya, it's me. Dad told me that you're back here, to this rented house. I don't trust Maya, really!"

I smiled happily. "Thank God, I'm glad you're here. Have you missed me Kinan all this time?"

"Yes Maya, I miss you, but when I'm not much for you, I still have to work at the coffee shop."

"Pak Herman's coffee shop, Mr Doni's friend?"

"Yes. I still work there. Thank you for helping me. It's all because of you, because of your help." Kinan told me. I also realized that it came from God, from my efforts, the efforts of Mr. Doni also asked his friend Mr. Herman to be able to accept Kinan to work in the coffee shop plus the discotheque.

"Thank God, then, I'm glad to see you're still healthy."

"I'm fine Maya, I'm still as healthy as you can see now." Kinan continued to me.

I still held back my emotions that wanted to hug Kinan and dispel all my sadness to him, but that desire I endured. I couldn't hug Kinan, while he wasn't ready to accept my embrace.

"Yes, then you can go inside if you need to."

"Sorry Maya, I have to go to work, I can't accompany you first, maybe later after I get home from the store."

"Yes. It's up to you."

Kinan immediately went towards me and stepped onto his motorcycle, turned on his motorcycle and left me at the rented house, alone. I felt an instant void as Kinan went from my direction.

I then intend to enter the Contract house and want to feel the comfort of the house. I went inside and saw the walls of the house still painted white. The walls of the house that I used to love, and now I can enjoy myself. I touched the wall of the house, and I felt the touch. It's sad to remember how much I missed this rented house.

But, am I wrong with being like that, such a deep attitude to this house? Never mind, I don't want to dream, or dream far away. I want to enjoy my solitude. With myself.
