Jaden stopped by for a minute to check on me before leaving for the health center . I haven't had much conversation with him .he came with Putri, a shy teenager who he said would take me and Sani around the village . this morning I rebuked Sani who was still wearing her maid uniform . I don't mind .. she just looked too tidy . Her maid uniform is like the one that a flight attendant wears on an international plane.and unfortunately she doesn't bring any other clothes .so, I loaned her my fine skirt .. the wide, white casual skirt at the bottom . was too thin to wear in this cold place . so I lent her also my orange sweater tied to her shoulder . The sun is shining bright .so , it's not too cold now .. I had Sani growl her hair, look like I'm walking with my best friend now not with my waiter
Friends .. I pensively thought about it .. I, have no friends let alone friends . Maybe all my life I will only rely on myself, but at least .. I have Max now, I won't feel too lonely now .
“ Bu doctor watch out .. “
I was shocked .. we were walking on a rocky roadside and a motorbike with a rider carrying grass behind his bike almost hit me who was walking too far down the middle .. I didn't realize it because I was daydreaming earlier .
“ I'll walk next to you , Miss .. “ Said Sani whispering while calling me Miss .
“ Thanks Sani “ and Sani switch walk next to me .” Princess there is a shop ?”
“ That stall mbok yem .. ma'am doctor would like to stop by ? “
“ What sales ? “ my number
“ Look there yuk “
We walked there .. towards the small stall on the edge of the rice field .. the wind blowing cools my face . there are many. dominated by teenagers and fathers .. maybe they are resting because they are tired of working in the fields
The stall is made of woven bamboo stalls .. it is worn out and turned dark . but the place is clean and I like it .. I stared at a grandmother sitting there, busy serving the buyers.The steam coming out of the quality smelled so delicious .
“ Bu, I want one “
“ oiya neng .. sit down first yes neng.. “ said the seller kindly
“ Miss .. but, is it okay are you snacking on the roadside? Seems unhygienic to you “ Sani whispered
“ Sani order .. it looks good . Princess .. pesen also yes, I pay .. have we promised to do normal things ? “ I said change whispering
Sani looked at me in disbelief but also ordered . while waiting for me to sit there
and looking around enjoying the beautiful scenery . I feel very happy . all the things that make me sad, everything is gone .. However, I felt uneasy when everyone held me from the end of my shoe to the end of my head.
“ Who is this ? “ asks a father who wears a tie on his head
“ This is the doctor who said it was ,. Just came from the city “ replied Princess
I. smile sweetly, nod my head .trying to be friendly
“ Sani, I wait outside aja, I feel uncomfortable with their views . “
Sani bowed and I got out of that place, lost my taste for tasting typical village food . I scowled angrily and I waited there because Princess , busy with their questions there . and I decided to end the tour around this village .. we returned home .
In the afternoon Jaden stopped by our house again after returning from the Health Center . Bring some fruits for me . chat on the front porch of the house .he came riding a bicycle .
“ How are you? How is this village tour ? “
“ Good .. I feel a bit strange here but, just need time to adapt .. Jade ..everyone looks at me wonder .. “
“ hahahha .. You know how friendly people are here “ he said sipping warm tea
“ I envy you, Jade .. you know ..you're easy to get along with .. “
Jade looked at me who was looking at my feet and playing it on the ground in front of the house . kicked a little pebble there
“ Well ,. if it's that easy “ I told him
“ Tomorrow .. You will take me to Health Center “
“ People here are busy calling me doctor ma'am .. I'm not comfortable hearing it . but, I'm also confused they should call me what “ is
“ Hahahha.. get used to yourself Freya. The longer you are here .. enjoy the hospitality .. you will feel at home and do not want to return to the city “
“ Hahaha but you know I have to go back there no matter what . And Jad.. Why are you here .. how was your internship at St. Carolus ? “
“ I .. left her .. when I received Valencia's phone some time ago .. I feel I was called here ”
“ Where do you know Valencia ? “
“ Dia ..son of acquaintance Prof Abraham .. “
“ Wah .. You are good at finding Jade connections .. You think a bule like you does need support to graduate with perfect grades .. Maybe it will be useful in your country “ I told him
“ I like Indonesia , Freya it looks like I won't go back there .. I attended school here since SMU .. refused when going to school in international school because I want to master the Indonesian language
.. and certainly .. I easily get a boyfriend .. local people are indeed the best “
I hit his head reflex . offended by his words
“ You think all the cheap native chicks what ? “ I said ketus
“ No .. no not that I mean .. haha .. just , I feel like a prince who contested many women “
“ It's up to you to say what Jade .. “
“ It was, Freya ,. No offense .. I was a teenager back then .. “ and he laughed .. I glanced at him at a glance. I don't blame him .. in his country maybe it's normal . and because of that, he could be as blunt as that, tell me
“ But, since I went to college .. there's one girl I've had a hard time getting “
“ Good .. It looks like he can see how playboy you are “
“ Yes ... It looks like “ he sipped his tea again and said “ I'm glad you accepted my offer to help Valencia .. he set up the clinic and is in trouble “
“ Me .. there's something I have to do , Jade .. then that's me being here and it looks like .. I won't be long .. I have to return next month “
“ Why ? “
“ The anniversary of grandfather's death “ I said .
“ I .. never chatted much with you Freya .. I'm glad to know something important about you “
“ Well “, let's just say I repay your kindness for helping me a lot also accomplish a lot of my tasks
Jade laughed and broke
“ Rest tonight, tomorrow morning I'll pick up .. bye “
I smiled and nodded .. waved my hand
