His motorcycle, his brother Cempaka, stopped at a boarding house painted in pink and black fenced in by Nyak Tatik. Cempaka who was carrying cardboard and his small suitcase, staring at the boarding house.
"A'a sure this is his house a'..?"
"Yes, please open the fence, so A'a can go in and park A'a's motorcycle." God Saying.
The hostel looks lonely. There was a small board hanging on the fence, which read "Receive the Princess's boarding". Cempaka opened the black fence of the boarding house and stepped into the courtyard of the house. Followed by the God who pushed his motorcycle to be parked in the yard of the house.
A middle-aged woman came out of the boarding house when she heard someone open the fence.
"Mom, I'm Cempaka who wants to rent a boarding room at Mom's house."
Nyak Tatik stared at Cempaka from head to toe. Then, he looked at the God who walked over to Cempaka.
"Die ready? your girlfriend?" Ask Nyak Tatik.
Cempaka blinked his eyes and swallowed his saliva.
"Bu-bu-not at Mother's. A' God, A'a my ma'am." Cempaka, gelagapan.
"Eh, boy, really what did die say, that you were a'a nye die?" Ask the God Nyak Tatik.
"Yes Ma'am, we're sisters. This is proof of his ID." God said while taking out his wallet.
"Neng, where's your ID. Leahin atuh." God Saying.
Cempaka hurriedly reached into his bag and grabbed his wallet. Then, he took out his ID card and gave it to his future hostess. So did the God who gave his ID card to Nyak Tatik.
Nyak Tatik pay attention to the address listed on the ID card. Then looked at the two brothers. After being convinced, Nyak Tatik gave up their ID.
"Siape your name just now?" Ask Nyak Tatik.
"Ce-Cempaka Ma'am." Said Cempaka, stamped.
"You need to call me Mom, call me Nyak ye." Tatic Nyak.
Nyak Tatik's expression had changed more amicable.
"Yuk come with me, let me tell you in your room mane. You're cute too." Saying Nyak Tatik while smiling to Cempaka.
Cempaka who was feeling tense now began to be able to smile at Nyak Tatik who began to be friendly to him.
Cempaka and Dewa followed Nyak Tatik's footsteps towards his home pavilion. The pavilion was quite comfortable, looking very well maintained. Several ornamental plants adorned the pavilion's terrace.
Nyak Tatik opened the pavilion door and let Cempaka and the Gods in. The pavilion has only 3 rooms. In the living room there are benches and tables made of bamboo.
In the corner of the pavilion is a mini kitchen. In the kitchen there is a dispenser and rice cooker, as well as simple cutlery and cookware and also a gas stove.
The bathroom looks clean. There are also written some rules that must be fulfilled by the residents of the boarding house.
Nyak Tatik opened a room at the front and opened the door wide. Then, Nyak Tatik stepped in and opened the window of the room. From the window of the room it could directly see the terrace of the pavilion.
"Do you want this one or the other room?" Ask Nyak Tatik.
Cempaka looked around the room. The room looks very neat. There is a single bed complete with sheets and blankets. Next to the bed was a study table and a small closet to put clothes on.
"It's better this is A'?"
The god nodded as his younger brother asked for his opinion.
"So you want this one?" Ask Nyak Tatik again.
"Yes, Mom, uh, Nyak." Cempaka.
"Ok, you bring in your stuff." Tatic Nyak.
After Cempaka put all his stuff in. He also followed Nyak Tatik, in the living room.
"Sit you." Tatic Nyak.
God and Cempaka looked at each other and sat in front of Nyak Tatik.
"Regulation first, you are forbidden to bring in men. Even in the living room. Guests can only reach the gate of the house. Understood?" Ask nyak Tatik.
Cempaka nodded slowly.
"Regulation two, you don't be slovenly! lu chick. Diligent-craftsman dah nyapu what cake. After eating wash your own dishes. Don't forget once a week brush the bathroom." Say Tatic again.
Cempaka nodded back.
"Third, if you dry clothes do not in front, ruin the scene. Lu sunbathing in the backyard of this pavilion pan ade back door tuh, well there is clothesline. Do you know what you are?"
"Neepful." Cempaka.
"Yes, here's the boarding money." Nyak Tatik put his hand in front of Cempaka.
With hesitation, Cempaka handed the envelope containing the money he had prepared from the village, into the hands of Nyak Tatik.
"Now tape? All wearing envelopes, you guess the condo." Tatic Nyak.
"Seven hundred thousand Nyak." Cempaka.
"Ah iye, this is not me itung. if less I go back again. Watch out for less." Say Nyak Tatik while getting up from his sitting.
"Thank you, Nyak." Cempaka.
"Iye, equally. Oh iye, here come you alone. The other one's coming tomorrow or the day after." Tatic Nyak.
"Oh so, yes." Cempaka.
"Yes already, you're out already." Saying Tatik to the Gods.
The god raised both of his eyebrows and nodded doubtfully.
"Do you two want to talk first? If you want to talk mending on the porch of my house. Because the rules are so. Even the brothers, I have to keep an eye on. A lot of people eat Sister Nye!" Saying Tatic Nyak while staring at the God.
The god swallowed his salivary and moved from his seat.
"I'd better go home. I picked up my sister Yes Nyak. I'm not far from here either, next time I drop by." God Saying.
"Yes, gi dah." Said Tyak Tatik as he stepped out of the pavilion.
The god looked at Cempaka who was frowning.
"Don't be surprised, usually Betawi people are the way he talks. But they're kind." God Saying.
"Oh, I see A', Neng just found out." Said Cempaka innocently.
"Yes, you rest. A'a back to A'a's old boarding houses. If you want to meet A'a, let's meet outside." God's Message to his only Brother.
"Yes A'a, be careful." Said Cempaka with a sweet smile.
The god nodded, then stepped his foot towards his motorcycle. And went away leaving the Cempaka hostels. Cempaka who delivered his Big Brother arrived in front of the gate, staring at the back of the God who was riding his motorcycle. Then, he locked the fence and went back to his room to arrange his clothes and luggage.
Cempaka feels lucky to be living in this boarding house. In addition to calm, these costs include cheap with existing facilities.
Cempaka went into his room and closed the door.
