A loud enough voice rang out as a plate fell from Zahra's hands, its shards strewn across the floor making some people notice it.

"That's really dong if nyuci tuh!" a woman with lashes.

"what do you mean?" timpal Zahra with a high tone of voice, "obviously you're the one who pushed me!" connect Zahra with a sharp eye

"Eh new kid don't have to song!" cut the woman with a tall stature while looking at Zahra with a cynical look.

"Udah Ra does not need to be in ladenin," said Aisha while tidying up the broken plates scattered on the floor.

"Well that dong kampung kampung kampung kaya yang pantesnya so babu!" hina women with lashes are then followed by the laughter of the three of them.

"What do you mean? pantes village boy so babu hah!?" fawning Zahra with a crimson stare and her hands clenched hard.

"What's the fuss," Hipjiah came to break up their debate, "Hana Rahayu Anggi what are you doing here? isn't it now your job to clean up the cottage yard?!" so Hipjiah cornered the three of them who were now bending his head down.

"No, we were just talking" said Hana, a woman with a high stature.

"Yes, our brother is just a doang ko acquaintance" continued Anggi, a woman who has a mole above her lips while looking at Aisha and Zahra.

"Is that right Zahra, Aisha?" asked Hipjiah to the two of them, as soon as the three of them were worried that they would reveal what really happened, Zahra was about to open her voice but Aisha held her back.

"Yes, we were just acquaintances" Aisha replied to Hipjiah, Zahra immediately looked confused Aisha because her words were not in accordance with the truth.

"That's why the plate broke?" continued Hipjiah while pegging his eyes next to make Aisha a little flutter.

"That was me swiping I'm sorry so the plate broke," Aisha replied with an apology while bowing her head.

"Yesa ka we are also here all want to help you machine it," said Rahayu who then immediately helped clean it.

"Then you three continue to clean it up. Then, continue cleaning the page!" exclaiming Hipjiah firmly made them slightly bowed after that they went to the yard area with cleaning tools while looking at Aisha and Zahra who were standing in front of the office.

"heuh even there is the Hipjiah, watch out later," said Hana with a snort of annoyance.

"Well, we'll do it again, won't we?" rahayu said with a laugh then followed by Anggi and Hana while mentioning the plans they would make to trap Aisha and Zahra.

"Aisha Zahra let's go to kiyai first," Hipjiah asked after they cleaned the sticky body because from yesterday it had not been bathing, after that, Hipjiah gave clothes to both of them and also two veils.

Aisha with her beautiful eyeballs makes anyone jealous to see it, let alone soft and delicate behavior as a special attraction for anyone who sees it, especially those who see it, using a light blue robe and a white veil he walked with Zahra and Hipjiah to meet the kiyai of the head of the lodge.

......................

"Assalamu’alaikum Abi, these are two new children." Arriving at the home kiyai named Abdul Aziz, age is quite old with a beard that has begun to whiten. However, his gaze was still quite cautious and his face exuded a very positive aura to anyone who looked at his face.

After Aisha and Zahra introduce themselves to Kiyai, they then told them about their purpose in coming to the city and the incident that happened to them so they had to be in the city because there was no more money they had to bring them home. Then, they told me that Dean was the one who brought them here.

"The light is seen but there is darkness" said Kiyai briefly. Then, speechless, Aisha and Zahra were silent, as well as Hipjiah, after hearing the sound of kiyai that was slow but felt pierced into the heart.

"Now just stay in this cottage, then your dream is please if indeed you want it and expect it as long as it is not the desire of the heart to embrace the mountain." Kiyai then left them after she finished speaking. Then, go into the other room, after which the three of them came out of the house kiyai in sequence.

"I don't know either, this is the first time I've heard from Abi" replied Hipjiah who also felt the same curiosity, Aisha just nodded her head slowly.

As they sat in the garden of the cottage while chatting from a distance Dean came towards the three of them.

"Assalamu’alaikum." Dean greeted them and then, they answered him at the same time.

"What's up, Dean?" say Hipjiah while getting up from his seat.

"I want to take them to the post office to send a letter to his hometown" Dean said, staring at Aisha.

"Ohh yaudah, please." Hipjiah invited them when saying goodbye to him while smiling kindly.

"Don't lama yaa later rice for lunch can abis first," joked Hipjiah followed by the laughter of Aisha and Zahra, then they left Hipjiah who was still standing in the garden while continuing to stare them away from him.

......................

"It's a long way from the post office" asked Zahra on the way.

"Not too far" replied Dean.

"Just try if there is a tool that can connect us from a distance," Zahra complained as she continued to follow Dean.

"There can be technology that is always advancing" Aisha said.

"You have a mother?" cut Dean into changing their speaker topic.

"Here you have, why brother?" zahra asked curiously because Dean suddenly asked them about their mother.

"Ohh, that's okay," Dean replied briefly, they were still curious about Dean's question about motherhood.

......................

The dust that flew on the road made the eyes a little sore, the occasional exhaust vehicle emits black smoke making the air in the city less healthy and several times the transport vehicle turns on the horn making the eardrum hurt.

"Sha if your father knows how yes," said Zahra worried.

"I also do not know Ra, let alone we go to the city not permission first, not to mention we do not teach at school," said Aisha slowly.

"I'm sorry sha" said Zahra, still feeling guilty.

"That's in front of his post office," Dean cut open and showed his hand toward the sizable building across the street.

"Be careful on the road, lots of big cars" Dean continued as he walked across the street.

They then walked slowly cutting the highway, Aisha and Zahra who were not accustomed to the state of the city that many vehicles a little stiff when passing the highway.

When they were in the middle of the highway Zahra's sandals came loose as she ran a little after Dean, making her fall on a very dusty asphalt, but what made his heart aghast was right in front of him a yellow car with a cargo of goods drove in front of him at high speed making cold sweat immediately splashed on his forehead, his eyes stared blankly ahead in panic.
