Tias can only be patient with his grandmother who is sometimes like a teenager. Like this time, Tias invited his grandmother to drink cendol and putu together for home. Well, this is even his grandmother wants to eat in the hut in his garden. There are many more workers there.
And what Tias does not like most is that it turns out that his garden is next to the garden belonging to Mr. Kades. Even their huts were facing forward despite being quite a distance away.
" Well if that's on our left. That's his garden has Haji Sayir's sir." said his grandmother who made Tias's mind solved.
" Haji Sayir sir ?" Tias looked at her grandmother confused.
" It was Hilman's ashes that sent you night at home." replied Ruwi.
Tias nodded in understanding, so that was the order. Thank goodness at least here he still has friends. It is good for friends to chat when they are in the garden.
Tias looked around and saw many fruits that were ripe and ready to be harvested. But how do I take care of it ?.
" This grandma if the palm is mature how to sell it ?" Tias asked confusedly. This is the first time he will take care of the garden. Mending if it's a fruit garden that can be marketed. This is a palm oil plantation that somehow sells its fruit and how it is marketed. Where he does not have a car to transport his palm fruit anymore.
" Yes we sell to Toke palm. Later we rent a car to transport the palm." replied Ruwi.
But unfortunately Tias still did not understand as well. " Toke palm where ?"
" Hm., if grandma usually sells the same Mr. Kades. He's a palm agent because he has a cooking oil factory."
" Fried oil factory ?" Tias asked in an unexpected manner that Kades who had just met him in the market earlier was also a business owner. He seems to be gentle and calm too. Not that it's limp like a girl. But Kades was not the type of man to be a leader according to Tias's view.
From his eyes alone Tias could see that Kades was a loving and unbearable person. Where he thinks he's better suited to be a doctor or just an ustad. Can Kades be assertive if there are people under his leadership who are wrong ?.
" It is you ! Grandma replied instead of daydreaming, you why ?" asked Ruwi who saw her grandson speechless with a blank look.
Tias gasped in shock. He smiled and then shook his head briefly. " We go home yuk nek, Tias tired of wanting to go home. We continue to eat at home, huh Grandma ?"
" Yes already." Ruwi felt unbearable to see the face of her granddaughter was forced to clean the food marks and wrap the rest of their putu to take home.
Tias waited for his grandmother on the bike while thinking of a plan for the continuation of each step. Honestly, this is the first time Tias has to do everything herself. In the past, when with his parents, Tias was accustomed to receiving results thanks to his father who always cleaned every difficult road he went through to become the successor of the company.
It was a little hard, but Tias didn't want to give up. Because as he said before he left his parents' house. That he could succeed without his papa money.
" Tias let's go, let's daydream. You don't see ghosts in this garden, do you ?" asked Ruwi who was waiting in the back seat but her granddaughter was just silent for some reason.
Tias laughed and began pedaling his bike while singing Justin Bieber's song Off My Face.
Ruwi who was sitting at the back just smiled listening to her grandson sing. He remembered his son who is now Tias' mother. He loves to sing and his voice is good. Ruwi had even expected her son to become a singer someday. But now let alone his voice, even Ruwi's face had never seen him again.
" The adek who is the badger of Ruwi's grandmother stopped by here first !"
Well, what Tias just thought happened. Tias turned to look at the person who called him and stopped his bike.
" Buk Pur what's wrong ?" ask Ruwi.
Buk Pur smilingly walked up to Tias and his grandmother with a large watermelon in his hand.
" This is how my husband had just harvested watermelon. He wanted to be delivered to the house but I was in a hurry to pick up the child at the airport now. Sorry if you are not polite for giving thanks but on the road kayak gini." said buk Pur who made Tias look at the horror of watermelon in his hands.
Ruwi smiled understandably. " It's okay buk. It is precisely I who thank you and apologize for ngerepotin."
" No, this is nek. This deck put it in the front basket. Fear if the grandmother who holds it will fall back." buk Pur gave the big watermelon to Tias.
" Thank you buk." Tias smiled politely looking at Pur buk.
Buk Pur smiled happily at Tias who was smiling at him. It was true that her son said that Ruwi's grandmother had a beautiful grandchild and her smile was very sweet. " Same as the deck, eaten yes semangkanya. It's natural sweetness without artificial medicine like a sweet smile adek."
Tias laughed at Pur's joke. The yes of this sweet smile is equated with the sweetness of watermelon fruit which is sometimes sweet sometimes there is no taste. Though there are grapes that are sweeter or otherwise sweet honey and often used as a picture of ordinary forms of praise. But no problem, because the one who praised her this time mother so Tias just accept it.
" Thank you buk."
" Same deck, later if you have time we are acquaintances who really yes. All for our soul." said buk Pur.
" Okay buk."
Ruwi smiled looking at her grandson who could blend in easily. Thankfully at least his grandson had no trouble adjusting to this village. " Yes if so we want to go home first buk Pur. It was noon when my granddaughter was paddling the bike."
" Our father, yes. Hearts on the road ya." buk Pur stared at Tias worried when they had just met.
" Yes, come on Yas." asked Ruwi.
Tias nodded at a glance and smiled politely at buk Pur. " Let's buk."
" Yes please, heart hearts on the way ya deck."
" Yes buk." Tias began to pedal his bike back to go home. This time the load is heavier because there is a jumbo watermelon in the basket in front of his bike. Even his sweat was getting dripping. Hopefully Tias can stand paddling up to the house.
