Painting Images With Light
Part 5's
A few pieces of purple sweet potato taken from the yard in the back of his house, have been boiled until cooked.
And a small portion of the remaining tubers from the vines, matured by frying using coconut oil, by Bagio.
With hope, a simple banquet that he prepared, enough to be a snack while chatting with Karenina and a friend, later tonight.
After returning from the rice field, Bagio walked home together with Karenina and the two friends of Karenina's boyfriend.
Bagio had already pointed out where his house was, which the young men could easily find, as it was still in one direction, to the place where the young men were staying.
According to Karenina, while walking this afternoon, Karenina wanted to talk to Bagio about the photoshoot they were going to do.
Maybe, Karenina wanted to convince Bagio, if he was not playing around when asking for Bagio to be a model for her.
Or, maybe Karenina wants them to be more familiar, so that Karenina's goal can run smoothly.
Because, for Bagio, their conversation on the way home was more than enough, but Karenina still wanted to visit the house of Bagio.
After seeing the arrival of Karenina and a fellow schoolgirl, at once, Bagio felt a bit hesitant to serve his tea-drinking companion, which seemed too simple.
"Good night, bang!"
Simultaneously, both Karenina and her boyfriend, greeted Bagio who was sitting waiting for them on the front porch of his house.
"Good night, deck!" Bagio stood up from his chair, then gave Karenina and her friend a chance to step onto the terrace and take an empty seat. "Please sit!"
"What do you want to drink?" tanya Bagio offered, while still standing.
"It seems, our arrival is only troublesome brother alone ... Empty water doesn't matter either, bang!"
Karenina and colleagues who have sat down, it seems not too confusing, with what will be presented by Bagio.
Evidently, when Bagio put the sweet potato he prepared earlier, with three glasses of warm tea, Karenina and her colleagues without hesitation, each immediately took a dish of Bagio from the table.
"Thank you, bang!"
Karenina who took the boiled yam, and her partner who took the fried menu, again in unison, expressed their gratitude for the Bagio dish.
Not long after, Karenina who had already finished a piece of sweet potato she had taken, then opened the conversation.
"Actually, I feel bad, when talking about the issue of pay for shooting brother....
... Hence, I ask for my brother's time tonight, so that we can talk about it, without the need to be listened to by the crowd."
Karenina then drank a little tea from her glass.
"To be honest, although semi-professional, but the results of our photos later, not only became material for my college assignments....
... The plan, I want to cooperate with my acquaintances who are abroad. So, the photos of my brother later, will be displayed in his gallery," continued Karenina.
"Hm ... So, what do you mean, deck?" ask Bagio.
"Look, bang! ... I'm sorry, but I want to be honest. Frankly, I do not want if later when the photos were sold, then my brother felt aggrieved....
... So, I prefer if we make an agreement, so that my brother does not have a problem about royalties from the photos of my brother later," replied Karenina.
Although Karenina seems to have tried to explain to Bagio, but Bagio still does not understand.
Thus, Bagio could only be silent for some time.
"Didn't my brother understand?" Karenina seemed to be able to read Bagio's mind at that time.
Bagio shook his head. "No, deck."
"Don't be the model, right?! So, I'll give you a paid brother as a model. That way, the photos will be mine....
... Later, if my brother's photos sell again, brother can not demand additional money from the sale of the photos," said Karenina explained her earlier words.
In that case, let's just say that Bagio sold his shadow to Karenina, and after that, whether it wants to be applied later, it's up to what Karenina wants.
Whether the photos would be for sale, or just for college assignments, because Karenina was already the owner, and she could use them as she pleased.
"How, bang? Do you agree?" Karenina's sudden question, disperse Bagio's daydream.
"Just be careful" replied Bagio.
"Make sure, bang! Whether you agree or not."
Karenina did not seem to accept that Bagio only answered such giddiness, and insisted on gaining reassurance from Bagio.
"Yes, I agree" said Bagio.
"Good! In that case, I'll be back in town tomorrow to pick up some extra property" Karenina said excitedly.
"Given, deck!" bagio said offer his dish again. "sorry. I can only prepare this."
"Don't say that, bang! The fruit is delicious, really!" said Karenina's boyfriend.
"Oh, yes! I just played eat and drink. In fact, I haven't even introduced myself yet" continued boyfriend Karenina. "My name is Yanto."
"Baggio." Shaking hands, Bagio introduced himself.
"How long are you going to do KKN in this village?" ask Bagio.
"About two months, bang ... Not with Karenina. He just came to this village, to look for the photo object," replied Yanto.
Karenina who was enjoying the second cut of the sweet potato stew, then raised her gaze and looked at Bagio.
"I'm different from college with them. But because some of them I've known since High School, so, I'm not shy to join," Karenina said.
Looks no less greedy when compared to Karenina, Yanto seems to like fried sweet potatoes given by Bagio.
"Karenina is talented in photography. He became the only student, who managed to join a student exchange program to Japan," said Yanto, then ate the remaining pieces of yam that were still left in his hands.
"ah! Yanto is just exaggerating, bang!" refute Karenina. "It's a coincidence, I can join the program."
"How long has Karenina lived in Japan?" ask Bagio.
"Hm ... Just a few months" answered Karenina. "Oh, yes! The plan, the photos of my brother will be on display in the gallery of my acquaintances in Japan, bang!"
For a long time, Bagio almost never came out of the village.
In fact, to go to the city alone, Bagio has only done it a few times.
Whereas if it is so, then it is already quite proud for Bagio, because even though it is only his shadow, but can go abroad.
"Size and pants brother, what number?" Karenina looked at Bagio, from the tip of her hair to the tip of her foot.
"Why, deck?" ask Bagio wonder.
"So I told you, tomorrow I'm going to go get some extra property, right?! Nah! All the equipment that will be used brother during the shooting, it is included in the property, bang....
... You don't have to worry about clothes and things like that. Because it's my responsibility, which should provide it" Karenina replied.
"Ooh ...! I don't remember the size of my shirt, deck ... Understandably, it has been a long time I have never bought new clothes," replied Bagio timidly.
Immediately, Karenina and Yanto with their flat faces, stared at each other for some time.
Note it! Bagio wasn't looking for mercy, or just pretending to be pitiful.
Bagio only spoke frankly, rather than the origin of the name of the size, then only made it difficult for Karenina who prepared it, when the size of her clothes would not fit, or greatness.
