The Inheritance and Leaning of the Headstone

Chapter 8 The other side Frans

Frans is greeted by her brother and hugs her for not seeing her for a long time. Frans works for an electronics company in Japan. And got word that Mbah Karti and all his children were gone, so Frans came because his work contract was done there and he did not extend it anymore.

"Hows it? Don't want to go back there again?" ask his brother Alek.

"Ngga, I just want to be here. I'm gonna go find a chaperone. It's not good to live alone. There is no mijitin" Frans said, picking grapes at the table.

"Oh God, I forgot to see the girl, there's something I have to give back," Frans said, leaving before her brother could ask.

"Where is she going ma? How in a hurry?"

"I don't know pa either. New times come but already know the people here, strange," said Sinta while cleaning drinks on the table.

"Find his soul mate kali ma," Alex told his wife.

"Yes, hopefully,"

"Oh yes pa, today I want to shop in the mall. Papa want to order what? Let mama buyin," said Sinta who was itching to spend money belonging to Mbah Karti who was in the safe.

"Bet watch brand ya ma, papa watches are old-fashioned. Missing the times" said her husband, leaning on a soft chair.

"Yes, mama buyin later,"

"If you can go, do not see the neighbors ma, later on gossip again. They're on to it the same as us. To the extent that we have a lot of inheritance, they say no and to the belain of Mila the maid," said Alex nyinyir.

"Biarin aja pa. Don't care. Most importantly, we enjoy our lives. After all, they can only talk behind our backs. How dare to speak in front. It's ah, mama wants to dance,"

Sinta then entered Mbah Karti's former room which he had repainted according to his taste. And replace some wall hangings with new ones.

The old one he put in the barn.

Mila's going out to bathe in the river. I don't know why it's dead and the water can't light up. He would take a bath in the river.

Suddenly cross paths with Frans on the trail.

"Mandi,"

"Mandi? How come?"

"Yes, where else to go. It's a road to the river. I'm gonna take a shower. Where are you going?" Mila kept walking because it was a bit cloudy and soon it might rain.

"Return this" Frans handed Mila an umbrella.

"Ohh, yes, I was in a hurry, and wanted to rain," Mila then took the umbrella and continued her path.

Frans followed behind him.

Mila turned her head and was shocked that Frans was walking behind her.

"Go there. Why follow me?" Mila was caught off guard like that by a man she did not know familiarly.

"I want to go to the river too. Want to feel what it's like to take a bath in the river,"

"You want to look?" Tegur Mila was upset at being followed by him.

"Now that is it? I'm gonna take a shower. Righteous. And actually, I came home and I came here to find a future wife," Frans said frankly and inexplicably he expressed his intentions to Mila.

"Ohh, yes, you've been, you've only caught the girl in this village. Then you choose one of them. And ohh yeah, why did you say that to me? We're just getting to know, you shouldn't be so open. Because I think it's disrespectful" Mila quickened her pace.

"I'm interested to see you for the first time" said Frans, who was used to being straightforward.

"But I don't" said Mila to have Frans go away from her. He really does not like all the brothers Mbah Karti who are in the eyes of the two.

Moreover, Frans is the younger brother of Alex and Sinta. These two people, whom he hated the most, for insulting him and humiliating him.

"I'm more interested in you" Frans said as she saw Mila as different from the other girls. Almost all girls will be able to see his looks, but Mila is not interested in his good looks at all. And it sparked curiosity from Frans about the figure of Mila.
