After being satisfied to see the terrain of the village. They decided to meet Adiguna to invite him to cooperate as a gap to enter the village. But in the middle of the road, Ferro asked Ardhian to pull over his car. He was interested in a group of young and old women who chose coffee that had been harvested on one of Asep's plantations.
The woman who was gathering, all of them turned towards Ferro who was approaching them. All of the women whispered to each other and chuckled as they stared at Ferro.
"Cempaka look, there is a bule entering the village," whispered one of the women to Cempaka who was looking down Then laughed.
"Where's Lis?" Cempaka turned his face to look at Lilis, then turned to look at the direction Lilis pointed at.
"Eh yes, it's a stray bule times," said Cempaka chuckling at the other followed along laughing.
All the women were speechless staring at Ferro who greeted them using a foreign language.
"Hallo."
All the women were silent, some were whispering with others, some were nodding at Ferro in response.
"Mang bule, what's going on here?" one of the middle-aged women, just let out a slouch made the others laugh out loud.
Ferro who intended to see the coffee, did not understand the language used by the woman, his two eyebrows were linked to turn to the Adhrian why all the women were laughing. The man shrugged his shoulders looking at the smiling Ardhian himself. Because Adhrian better understand the language used by women earlier.
"What's wrong?"
"Maybe they were surprised that a stranger had entered their village." Ardhian.
Ferro nodded his head, he looked towards Cempaka who was clearly visible among the other women. Ferro took off his smiling glasses and nodded his head. But Cempaka looks cute and then refocus on choosing coffee.
"Sorry Mom, I'd like to ask. Where is Adiguna's house?" ask Ardhian.
"Oh, there sir!" point one of the middle-aged women towards the middle of yellowing rice field maturation. Ferro and Ardhian stared at the direction of the woman's clue. They saw a big house from far away.
After a short talk with them, then Adhrian and Ferro again continue their journey to meet Adiguna.
After the two of them died, all the women who were choosing coffee laughed and threw jokes at each other.
"The island is saucy" said Lilis.
"Ah you, look what a cute Ijo eyes," said Cempaka.
"I want to be the same Caucasian, later to be invited there," said Indah.
"Here, auntie wants to. Gini gini Aunt is still strong." The middle-aged woman patted the chest teasing the girl.
"Bi Odah how, if the Mang Endul wants to be in other places? sack it?" marni. The next second they laughed out loud laughing at Odah.
Before long a middle-aged man came closer carrying a rice basket in his carry. "Yes naon ieu? (what is this?) ask the man.
" This is Bi Odah, he said he wanted to marry Bule, Mang Asep," replied Marni, then laughed at the others.
"Bule?" Mang Asep put the rice basket on the ground.
"Would you like to come here?" mang Asep asked as he handed out the canned dishes, then allowed all the women to take a break and have lunch.
"No idea, Abah."
Then they mean without anyone talking, because according to the Sundanese tribe. Eating while talking is prohibited or called pamali. They ate until they were full and thanked the Almighty for His favor today. Then they resumed their work that stayed a little help Asep, as the owner of the coffee garden. Before long they finished, one by one the women returned to their homes after getting a wage from Mang Asep. Then the man told some young people in the village to bring the coffee that had been put in the sack, to his house.
Mang Asep and Cempaka walked down the yellowing rice field, in between the steps Mang Asep told that there was a young man from another village named Dadang coming to visit the house looking for Cempaka.
"I don't like Dadang, Abah" said Cempaka.
"Eh, don't be. If you don't like it, just answer in alus language. Don't like to hurt people's hearts. What'll you be in." Mang Asep gave advice.
"Yes, Abah."
Arriving at home, Mang Asep directly directed his workers to dry the coffee first while hot. While Cempaka immediately cleaned himself. After finishing, the girl immediately met her mother named Sari.
"Neng, there was Dadang." Bu Sari immediately told while standing staring at Cempaka. In his hand was firewood.
"Ah the Ambu, why in the morning. Tomorrow, if you come again, just tell me I have a boyfriend. Is it Ambu?" Cempaka turned his head for a moment towards Bu Sari while pouring warm tea into the glass.
"Neng, don't tell Ambu to lie" said Ms. Sari.
"That's not Ambu's lie, but a little lie" said Cempaka as he laughed teasingly at Bu Sari.
"What a difference, ah the geeky likes so much the old man." Bu Sari pinched Cempaka's arm. But the girl just laughed a little while passing by leaving Bu Sari in the kitchen

Arriving at Adiguna's house, they were both welcomed by the man. Without much stale language. Adhrian as a moderator between Ferro and Adiguna directly conveyed the core of their arrival who wanted to control the coffee plantations owned by residents.
Of course it is welcomed Adiguna, if successful Adiguna will get a percentage of the coffee. Moreover, Adiguna has a past grudge with Asep mang. He was eager to see Mang Asep slump.
After they agreed, Adiguna asked Ferro to occupy another Adiguna house to make it easier to launch the action. Because the language used by Ferro is impossible to understand the surrounding residents. Adiguna will help him as a moderator of citizen liaison.
"I agree, then we'll excuse yourself to prepare everything. Tomorrow we will come back here again" said Adhrian.
"Good, good to work with you all." Adiguna stood up and extended his hand. Ferro and Adhrian shook Adiguna's hands alternately. Then they left Adiguna's house to return to Jakarta.
Along the way home, Ferro did not stop admiring the beauty of Indonesia. Different from where you live abroad. Not to forget, he also praised the natural beauty of Cempaka. Even if only for a moment they met. But the beauty of Cempaka was already imprinted in his heart. Adhrian did not want Ferro to deviate with his initial intentions. Then the man reminded Ferro.
"Women here are beautiful, but you have to remember. Don't be tempted by the women here. Aren't you just after the coffee?"
Ferro nodded his head, then chuckled while patting Adhrian on the shoulder.
"You take it easy, I can't possibly fall in love with that country girl" Ferro replied casually.
