The sound of noise was heard to make my sleep disturbed. I who had been asleep in my sleep was made to wake up and sit down when the noise sounded.

I got up from my bed and turned my head left and right when I was at the window. I could see there were a lot of people in the crowd.

I didn't understand what they were doing there until I turned small out of the room to get my family members who weren't home to make me run back down the steps slowly when I could see a bunch of people talking.

I don't know what they're talking about, I don't understand either. Now I run when I managed to see the figure of my friends who also seemed to gather as if they were also busy looking for information.

Why did this commotion happen? Just this time I saw our villagers gathering without doing anything like baktin or busy gardening.

They were just busy talking to make Leha who was busy listening to the conversation people turned their heads.

"Why? Why are so many people gathered? Is there another show?"

"Not the people are all gathered not because there is activity but because he said tomorrow there will be guests from the city."

"Guests from the city? Who?"

"I don't know either. Let's go to Jono, Samal and Mansur! They seemed to have been waiting there!" taking him and running away made me pause for a moment to look at one by one people who are still talking.

I did not understand what they were discussing and they seemed to be pointing towards the part of the land that was in front of my house even my Father and Mother were busy there. Usually they would only gather in the gardens but this time they gathered in the residential area made me even more wondering about what they were discussing.

I ran after Leha to the place where we always played together. I set my feet up the grass hill that was not too high. My friends are playing there.

"Why are you taking so long?" jono asked who was busy eating mangoes.

I know that mango is the fruit of his garden today.

"I'm sleeping."

"Yes you sleep and you don't help me to harvest mangoes."

"I'm sorry I fell asleep so tired after coming home from delivering Kkang Roy."

I bowed my body to the surface of the grass staring at the swarm of buffaloes that were busy eating grass in the vast field. These buffaloes belong to the mansur. Besides he has a smart brain he also has a lot of buffalo and only he is in charge of taking care of his buffalo.

I also often helped him bathe his kerba in the river and after returning home later we will be given duck eggs from ducks belonging to the Mansur, the good heart of this Mansur.

"Oh yeah I see there's a lot of crowds in front of my house, why?"

"I also don't know said Jono who was just busy eating."

"Yes you don't know because you're just busy eating. People tell me you're busy eating, the sound is too noisy," Samal's cerocos makes Jono glance cynically.

"There are people who say they come to this village. He wants to build a house."

"Building houses?" ask me a little surprised while staring at Mansur.

"Why build a house in this village instead of in a more beautiful city. There they can build a much larger house while here they want to make their wooden house here."

"No, it doesn't seem like a wooden house, he's going to make a big house like the one in town" Mansur explained.

"Originally you know also friends that the people of the city not only come to build this house but also will buy some land in this village."

"Buying land? Who sold it?"

"The land belongs to his father Marcel" said Lena.

"Samal why? Why'd you sell it?"

"I didn't sell but my father" Samal defended himself.

I just nodded. If it's parents' business I don't dare to interfere.

"The town guy didn't think what, huh? Building a house in the village is hard. We just build a hard wooden house especially if the people of this city want to build a stone house in the village, where should the stone go?'

"Here, is there no bridge, besides the forest in this village is abundant where will he go?"

"I don't know either" said Jono while Mansur was silent. Yeah, it looks like his brain is thinking.

"There!"

Point at Jono while occasionally staring at Mansur and the others to make sure me and the others look in which direction I'm pointing.

Mansur was silent looking at the people who were still crowded down there while pointing at the land in front of my house.

"Yes, the house in front of your house is the land of his father Samal" he said, then he fell silent.

"What do you think, anyway?"

"none. I

don't think anything. I just can't wait about the town guy's face how, huh?"

"It must be beautiful" said Samal.

"Beautiful as Leha" Leha said, putting her hands under her chin and posing as if she were the most beautiful woman in the world.

"Ah, just look if the town guy comes I'm sure he won't stay in this place well."

"Heh, you don't like city people, do you?"

I was silent for a moment. Right also what Jono said is what my problem with the city people? Ah, maybe because of the kang Ujang that made me wait on the side of the road long enough.

Is it possible that I was traumatized by the townspeople but not really friends if the townspeople were just torturing. Just look at me when I waited long enough. I waited in the street like a fool and he came to be hit 11.00 in the afternoon.

I even felt weak on foot but, kang Roy did not even give me the little food he brought.

When I saw the kang Ujang with his changed appearance it made me feel a bit worried. How fate ang Roy if he really will live in the city. Is it possible that his appearance will be like a Ujang kang? I hope it doesn't.

What living in the city will also affect the appearance of a person and what living in the city will also affect the mindset of the person yes everything is still a question mark.
