Reya has been living in her new home for almost a week, but she hasn't been to a neighbor's house. Only Tole et al. who often play to his house, it was only during the afternoon because they had to go to school.
Today Reya decided to make a sponge that she will later share with neighbors as a greeting. He made about five sponge baking pans that he put into the cardboard of the cake he bought yesterday.
Reya brought one of the balls to the house on his right, the house looks big and luxurious compared to the house around him. Looks well maintained front yard very neat and a lot in planted flowers and some fruit trees.
Reya knocked on the door but after five minutes of waiting there was no answer from inside, "Excuse me, is there anyone?" shout Reya. Unfortunately, no one shouted back.
"Are there no people? Or I just take the ball home" muttered Reya who was still standing at the door.
"Who are you looking for?" the voice of a father came from the side of the road, the father walked over to Reya.
"This sir, I want to give sponge to the owner of the house. Owner's father?" reya asked with a friendly smile imprinted on her face.
"Not Ma'am, this is Juragan Nalendra's house. The ball just put it on the door, usually now the Juragan is monitoring the cow pen. Later do not tell Juragan if Mbak who gave, whose name Mama?" obviously the father was long.
"I'm Reya sir, I just moved into the house next to it a few days ago" Reya said, pointing to his house.
"Walah new citizens to, can feel at home Ma'am here. Introduce my name pakdhe Totok, yo wis yes Ma'am I want to go to Juragan's cage first. Want to work" joked padhe Totok.
"yes, Pakdhe, be careful on the road" Reya replied with a small laugh because of the guyonan pakdhe Totok.
After Pakdhe Totok left, Reya put a crackle containing a sponge on the doorknob. After that Reya had not left there, he was still standing in front of Nalendra's mansion. Reya thought what if the other neighbors were also not at home, but busy in the cage or rice field.
Reya remembered the word Tole that around one o'clock in the afternoon, there are usually some mothers who gather at his house to chat. Reya finally decides to go home and go to Tole's house at one noon.
Reya then continues her pending work yesterday, Reya is a freelance graphic designer. If a person or company wants to buy his services, then he will work. If there is none, then he will occasionally create animated characters that he sells on image buying and selling sites. He also has a lot of money in his savings.
The income received from his work is enough to meet his daily needs. Previously, his personal needs would be met by both parents. His father has a company engaged in food production, so that the family includes families who are wealthy or even arguably more.
Actually graphic design is just a hobby of Reya, since childhood he really likes drawing. Reya's parents know that and try to facilitate it so that Reya grows.
Since her parents lived a few months ago, Reya decided to sell her company to her father's competitors and she moved to the village to avoid some bad people who wanted her parents' possessions.
It did not feel the time had shown at one noon, Reya then did the first prayer and lunch before going to Tole's house. Reya brings the remaining four balls to Tole's house, she carries them using a cloth bag because she has trouble carrying them.
Reya walks into Tole's house following Tole's words yesterday saying that his house is only two or three houses south of Reya's house.
"Siang ma'am, I'm Reya. I am a new citizen here, this is me making some sponge for Mother - mother" said Reya while lifting the cloth bag she carried.
"Oalah Mbak Reya kok bothered anyway, let's sit here together" said Tole's mother while directing Reya to sit next to him.
"Let's Mom" Reya said as she walked next to Tole's mother, she placed her cloth bag in the middle and sat down next to Tole's mother.
"Mbak Reya doesn't know my name yet, right? I'm Yayuk, call me Lek Yayuk. Then Lek Sri who wears yellow clothes and this Mbah Nem who wears flower clothes" said Tole's mother named Lek Yayuk while introducing everyone who was there.
"Iki to Mbak Reya who he said moved an empty house next to Juragan Nalendra's house, how do you feel at home with his new home?" ask Lek Sri while opening one sponge box that is distributed to all of them.
"Yes Alhamdulillah Lek, it is quite comfortable there" replied Reya with a bright smile to Lek Sri.
"Why do you feel like living near Juragan Nalendra mbk? There are some tense moments, right?" tanya Mbah Nem with a tone inviting gossip.
"Ah nothing - what the heck Mbah, what is there anyway Mbah asked sepetri it?" reya asked curiously.
"You don't know who Juragan Nalendra is? Tole didn't say anything to you?" lek Yayuk asked in surprise.
"No Lek, Tole did not say anything about Nalendra" Reya replied confusedly.
"It's a good thing you haven't gotten into trouble with Nalendra Nduk.Nah Sri you told Nduk Reya, your senengan iku yak gossip ne uwong" said Mbah Nem while nudging Lek Sri's cool shoulder eating sponge.
"ehm, okay no story. Ms. Reya you should be careful when you meet Juragan Nalendra, he is a short axis. Likes to be angry because of trivial problems, yesterday there was a child who accidentally threw a ball at him just made a nasty cry with him" explained Lek Sri who leaned his body towards Reya.
"The hell is Lek up to his side? Is it possible that his son is naughty?" tanya Reya who somewhat does not believe in the story of Lek Sri.
"Yo don't know the hell I mbk, I just horrified people's stories. Then there are others, he said, Juragan Nalendra it has a gift. It was the pesugihan that made the parents die as well, so Juragan Nalendra became very rich now" continued Lek Sri who further reduced his voice.
"Today there are still pesugihan - pesugihan that?" tanya Reya who is a little skeptical of Lek Sri's story. Lek Sri's story even makes Reya curious about the figure of Nalendra Juragan. Reya thinks even his management skills Juragan Nalendra is good so that it can make his business bigger.
"yo ndak know Ma'am. By the way - the ball is good mbk, later if there is a celebration can pesen sponge to Mbak Reya" said Lek Sri who ate pieces of sponge in his hand.
"Well that's Lek, can pesen to me. I can also make another cake, especially for Lek Sri twenty percent discount" Reya replied half-jokingly.
"Yes, don't lie. Make me twenty percent discount" said Lek Sri with a cheerful laugh. The talk about cake shifted the topic about Nalendra, they continued the topic of food then to other warm gossip in the village.
