Keanu and Kezra were escorted by residents to the local Pak RT home. The two sat in one of the chairs in one of the rooms surrounded by several residents who caught them both in the empty house. Across the table is a Father as RT and several local indigenous institutions. Kezra's face was very pale while Keanu's face was ordinary. Seemed calm and relaxed like without problems and burdens so that made Kezra very upset. He was eager to scold his annoying student.
"Kok you can relax like that, anyway?" ask Kezra whispering. Keanu turned his head, looking at the corner of his raised lips followed by next to his eyebrows which also lifted up.
"Please calm down, Mom. At most we are told to marry." he said lightly.
"What's? Married man?" Kezra glares.
"Eh, wrong. I mean marriage. Hehehe," Keanu only chuckled without sin while Kezra grew more and more panicked.
"So how is this Mr RT? They have often been perverted in the empty house" said one resident.
"That's Mr. RT. Our village could get unlucky for their behavior!" Other citizens chimed in.
"really. It could be our village because of them."
"Make it!"
"Arak around the village without clothes let the others kapok!"
"Agreed!"
"Agreed!"
Kezra and Keanu glared.
"W-what? In the arak around the village without clothes?"
"No! I don't want to!" yell Kezra hysterically. Just imagining it makes him want to cry especially if all that really happened.
"Well, I can see you, Mother Dong. Hihihi ..." said Keanu while laughing amusedly imagining the ridiculous thing that would happen.
Plaque ....
One punch landed on Keanu's arm. With breaths rising and falling Kezra looked at the rancid disciple before him with anger and annoyance mixed into one.
"The student is not sane! Not panicking, but happy for you. Your head is what exactly is it? Or no contents? You are crazy! Instead of defending himself," Kezra grumbled with great annoyance.
"How do you defend yourself, ma'am? It is difficult to convince the people. They will not believe our words. They will believe more in what they see and their own opinions. Just imagine, two people of different sex are in an empty house at night. In a dimly lit room when it rains anyway. Who would believe it if we didn't do anything? That's all we almost ...."
"Ekhem ...." Keanu cleared his throat as he smiled seductively at his teacher who was glaring at him.
"Almost what? Remember yes! Nothing happened between the two of us!" firmly Kezra with anger.
"Well, there's no need to argue with women. Because women will never feel wrong." Keanu quipped by sitting back in a chair that felt soft.
"Ah so tender, want to sleep it feels." he said while yawning.
Kezra couldn't help but pat his own eel. How can this student act so relaxed while he himself seems to want to escape from this complicated situation.
"The student is not sane! I think your brain should be checked again after this." he said with annoyance.
"Let's go around the village!" One of the residents again provoked and followed by other residents.
"Come on!"
"Make it right now!"
Kezra just lowered his head, he did not dare to raise his head. He is very sorry why he did not learn the science of disappearing while in the village like a magic shaman in his village. While Keanu was just sitting leisurely even almost completely asleep if Kezra did not pat his thigh hard.
The voices made the atmosphere more violent, Mr. RT who saw the chaos immediately stood up and calmed the citizens.
"Calm down, gentlemen, please calm down for a moment. Everything has to be spoken of carefully and with a cold head." Mr. RT is black and wearing Koko's clothes trying to calm the angry citizens.
"But they must be in the arak around the village, Mr. RT. Let them all be deterred and be a lesson to those who want to pervert."
"Agreed!"
"Stranquilize moment! We wait for the guardians they both come."
"Assalamualaik." The sound of someone saying a greeting from the outside, made the residents who were crowding in front of the door shift their bodies so that people outside could enter.
Kezra who was poulting right with that voice closed his eyes and lowered his head even more.
"Out my history!" sigh the woman by hitting her clasped hand on her thigh in annoyance and despair. While Keanu just rolled his eyeballs with a line of smiles formed at the corners of his lips. He did not change his sitting position that was leaning backwards.
It appeared that a nearly middle-aged man with gray hair entered the room authoritatively followed by another man wearing a black suit behind him.
"Please sit down, sir." Mr. RT allowed the man to sit down and was countered with a nod of disdain by him.
"I'm the uncle of this boy, sir. What exactly happened?" asked the man who turned out to be Keanu's uncle.
"Look, Sir. The residents found them in one of the vacant houses not far from here sir. According to the residents they are doing immoral acts." Mr. RT explained. Uncle Keanu clenched his hands together, he closed his eyes in embarrassment.
"I'm sorry my nephew, sir. I'm really sorry for what my nephew has done in my village" the man said with great regret.
"According to the prevailing customary law, the two people caught committing immoral acts must be arak around the village and married. I see, sir."
"What's? in the arak around the village?" asked the man in great surprise.
"Really, Sir. That's the customary rule that goes on in our village."
"Can't it be exchanged with others? My niece is still in school, sir. She's still a high school student, still very young to get married."
"It's still small but it likes to be perverted!" interrupted a citizen with anger and followed by other residents.
"Really! Just marry! Let's kapok!"
"Relax Fathers. Let's talk about everything first. We're looking for the best solution for everything!"
"What other solution, Mr RT? It was obvious the two of them were in that empty house!"
"But it could have been that you saw it wrong?"
They looked at each other and whispered.
"If not those who saw Tejo, then who else is Mr RT?"
"Then, where's Tejo now?"
"Tejo came home after telling us that there were perverts."
"Call Tejo here, we must hear the testimony of Tejo first."
Without warning, one of the residents went out to call Tejo.
Uncle Keanu took a breath that still felt heavy, because he did not know what had happened actually. He knew his nephew was naughty, but if this kind of business he really did not expect that his nephew was indeed acting so far away.
He looked at his nephew who looked very relaxed.
"Why do you always act?"
Keanu just stared lazily at his uncle. He even threw his face away, not wanting to look at her.
"This time you're really outrageous, Keanu. This time you must be taught to be kapok!"
"Yes, anyway. Just marry me! It's just a bother."
"This kid is really outrageous. Do you think getting married is easy? Moreover you are still in school and very young!"
"Down Ijab Kabul doang is not easy?!"
"It's not that easy!"
"You guys have a lot of rules."
"This kid is really making blood rise!" annoyed uncle Keanu with the veins on his head that look prominent. He turned to the woman with the long black mane who kept his head down. It was free to talk to his stubborn nephew and just make his cholesterol go up. He also wondered who the woman who was with Keanu in the empty house was.
"Lift your head!" uncle Keanu said to Kezra. With hesitation, Kezra raised his head. Really, it felt like he was eager to drown himself in the deep ocean rather than having to be in a situation as complicated as this. Kezra raised his head slowly, looking at Uncle Keanu's extremely shocked face instead of playing around until the man's body retreated backwards.
"B-bu Kezra?"
