The sun began to rise from the east, the sound of roosters crowing each other. Birds chirping on the branches chirping, sounding melodious in the ears, adding to the beautiful atmosphere of the village of grim sand in the foothills of Mount Salak.
Ambu Sari stepped hastily carrying a basket, returning from a nearby paddy field after allowing the stagnant water flow. In the middle of the road he was pitted with two women who were carrying a set of bananas already yellow.
"Where are you from?" ask Odah who uses a yellow veil.
"I'm tea, betulin aer runs out." Ambu Sari said he noticed the banana that Odah brought.
"Oh!" his lips reached manyun. "Mom, was there a thief last night? he said no ketangkep." Said Odah again.
"I heard it, too, but was afraid to leave the house." Timpal Sadiyah's.
Sari's ambu hands scratched her head and confirmed the hood that would fall on her head.
"Mother also does not know, but said the brother mah not kangkep his thief." Ambu Sari.
Odah's hand patted Ambu Sari's arm. "When our village tea is safe, naha (why) now so there is a thief?"
Ambu Sari opened her mouth to answer, but did not speak because her daughter's voice called.
"Mom!!"
Ambu Sari turned towards Cempaka. "What neng?"
"Ari the ambu, should you talk here? that's nyariin!" cempaka said a little annoyed.
"Astagfirulloh!" Ambu Sari patted her forehead. He turned to Odah and Sadiyah. "Come on, go home first."
"Sok ambu!" answer them both.
Sari and Cempaka stepped together towards her home. Arriving in the yard, Cempaka went to the chicken coop to remove all the chickens owned by his brother and gave food. While Ambu Sari put her hood and basket on the cot. She sat down in a chair, accompanying her husband.
"Change to go to the garden first, then the eneng will come later." Asep said, lifting a large canned cup containing hot tea and then blowing the tea slowly.
"Miss!" call ambu Sari turned her head to the side staring at Cempaka.
"What ambu?!" cempaka Sahut.
"Bake cassava with brown sugar in the kitchen!" ambu Sari's orders.
"Yes!" cempaka Sahut.
Ambu Sari turned her eyes to her husband. "Well, the last night the tea was not ketangkep?" ask ambu Sari.
"Open oruh (do not know), last night wanted to be chased into the forest border. But Birawa said not to be pursued. Abah ge doesn't understand what he means." Abah Asep explains the chronology of last night's immortality.
"There's a nut?" asked Cempaka from the door, carrying two cassava burns on a canned plate, then placed on the table then Cempaka sat beside Ambu Sari.
"There is, but ge doesn't know for sure. Later in the afternoon, he asked to gather at the pendopo abah Birawa." Answer Abah Asep, while splitting the burnt cassava, then he took a piece in combination with brown sugar.
"Tong ningalikeun (do not geliatin) we, snobs at eating hot mumps. Ngenah pisan euy(palm)."
"Neng mah had already been, sok abah abisin." Said Cempaka, then stood up.
"Where's neng?" ask Abah Asep.
"You go to the kitchen!" sahut Cempaka turned towards Asep.
"Change first to the garden, then you will bring bawakeun eat yes!" asep Messages.
"Yes, abah!" sahut Cempaka then entered his house.
Abah Asep and Ambu Sari continue their conversation about the burrow while enjoying the cassava burn. Apparently, last night was a warm conversation of the villagers of Pasir reungitm

At about nine in the morning, Cempaka had finished preparing lunch for the workers in the coffee garden, with the help of his best friend Lilis, bringing him a rice basket. While Cempaka brought two canned bushels filled with salted fish, fried tempeh, sambal and lalapan.
They both walked down the road to the coffee garden. Along the way they both chatted, occasionally laughing together.
"Yesterday at the market, I met a girl, but I didn't know who she was" Lilis said.
"I know how the kang dadang behaves, playboy cap gomeh!" sumpat Cempaka ended with a small laugh.
"Yes pikasebeleun! (sucks), the mah man is not quite one, the rich Lastri kasian yes, in the same honey her husband." Timpal Lilies.
"No, don't talk about disgrace, pity you know!" Cempaka paused for a moment, put a bushel on the road then wiped off his sweat that fell on his plump eyelashes.
"Why?" asked Lilis, stop stepping, pay attention to Cempaka.
"This hot tub of tea," Cempaka looked up at the sun, his eyes narrowing.
"Dry season oruh, the usual hot weather." Timpal Lilies.
Cempaka nodded, then picked up the challenge again. The two of them continued their steps towards the coffee garden that was already close by. But their steps came to a halt, when a car stopped right in front of him.
"That wasn't the bule yesterday?" lilis whispered in Cempaka's ear, his eyes fixed on Ferro who had just come out of the car door, followed by Adhiguna's son named Rendi.
"But, don't approach them. Let's just walk here." Cempaka said, then turn the road towards the rice field.
Ferro and Rendi watched the two girls walk over.
"the girl in the village is pretty beautiful." Ferro murmured yet was clearly heard by Rendi.
Rendi just moved her lips. "Basal bule crocodile land," he said in his heart.
