The Love of Village Girl

Section 6

Sinta was still in pain from falling out of bed. He limped to the bathroom. Mouth grimaces. Apparently the pain from the beautiful dream about Tono left a bruise on her leg.

When he went to the bathroom, Sinta passed Grandma.

“What dream did Sin ? Steady once to jump out of bed.” asked grandma. Asked like that Sinta just grimaced.

“Hiiii. No dreams anything nek.” elak Sinta.

“Dream not screaming while jumping. Ah, lie to you. Shy time yes same story Grandma ?” sahut grandma.

Sinta simply smiled knotfully, then continued her steps towards the bathroom.

“Gak to river ?” ask grandma.

“Gak ah.” replied Sinta shook her head.

“Usually prefer bathing in the river.” said grandma.

“Old lazy grandma, seduced continue the same guy.” confided Sinta.

“Cowok. Who ? Crackling. Hanging ?” seducer the Grandma.

“Ha ha ha. Yes so it is.” replied Sinta.

It is still fresh bathing in the river. The water is clear and the natural scenery is still breathtaking. And the most important thing is to talk to Diah. Only sometimes there are idle men like Dirjo and others who like to flirt. So lazy.

Shower at home is no less fresh. The water used is still water from the same source. While enjoying the fresh water, suddenly the voice of Grandma called out.

“Sin ! Sin ! Wanted his friend !” call grandma.

“Who nek ? “ replied Sinta from inside the bathroom half-screaming.

“Ndak know. Again wait outside.” said his grandmother.

“Yes. Wait a minute.” said Sinta and hastened her morning shower.

“Maybe Diah who came.” Inner Sinta.

But how surprised and disappointed after knowing that came not Diah, but Dirjo.

“What's kang ?” ask Sinta.

“Can you enter ndak ? Let's have a good chat.” said Dirjo.

“Outside only yes. It's not good an empty house. Grandpa and Grandma again in place of Mr. Jodi.” proposed Sinta.

“Good, no problem.” said Dirjo.

They both sat on the front porch of the house. The two sit far apart. Sinta refused to sit close to Dirjo.

Long time ago, Dirjo did not even say the meaning of coming to Sinta's house. He only fell silent with occasional glances towards Sinta. This kind of situation lasted for a long time, so Sinta began to run out of patience.

“What do you need Kang ?” ask Sinta again.

“Eh, yes. About recreation plans.” explained Dirjo started. His behavior really shows that he is groggy. Dirjo's stammering words made Sinta even more anxious.

“Come to Kang ? What is this ? By the way.” said Sinta with a voice that gets louder.

“I i i yaa Sin. Gi gi ni. I want to ask for help Sinta.” said Dirjo stuttered.

Sinta listened seriously. His gaze was sharp towards Dirjo.

“I i i I became the committee, as secretary.” pinta Dirjo.

As expected, Sinta refused.

“Sorry Kang. I can't.” reject Sinta.

“Why Sin ? I really need your help.” whine Dirjo.

“Kan there is Lastri, Endah, Sri, Diah and many more. Why don't they ?” refute Sinta.

“I'm more suitable with you Sin. “ clarify Dirjo.

“But I don't want Kang.” refuse Sinta to reinforce.

“From now why continue. I told you not to. Yes ndak mau.” replied Sinta insistent.

“Not all attitudes should have a reason Kang. I don't want.” Sinta once again.

“Come Sin !” force Dirjo.

Sinta was really late, but she did not know what to say anymore. Sinta could not bear to raise her tone again to Dirjo to express her rejection. After all, the face has been bent to express its unwillingness.

For a moment they were silent. But Dewi Fortuna still sided with Sinta. Suddenly his grandmother called from Mr. Jodi's house.

“Sin ! Sin ! Please come here !” shout Grandma.

Hearing Grandma's cry calling out, Sinta was like getting a savior. Without hesitation, he immediately replied.

“Iya Grandma. Coming soon. “ replied Sinta while shouting.

“Sorry to Kang. I am called grandma nih.” Sinta said as she left without caring for Dirjo.

“But Sin. Sin. “ prevents Dirjo from blocking Sinta's departure.

But late, Sinta had already run to Jodi's house without caring anymore with Dirjo who just sighed deeply in disappointment. He saw Sinta who was running away from herself to Jodi's house. His face really showed disappointment. Stunned by Sinta's departure.

“Shoulder once you Sin.” Inner Dirjo.

“Awas ya ! Wait for my revenge.” Inner Dirjo next.

Needless to say, Sinta had disappeared from Dirjo's sight. Just disappear. Dirjo finally left Sinta's house.

Meanwhile Sinta has been at Jodi's house. Grandpa and Grandma were there. A man about 40 years old was talking to his Grandma and Grandpa. They are very familiar, they must have known each other.

“That certainly is his name Mr. Jodi. “ guess Sinta.

During this time, he only often heard about Mr. Jodi from the story of Grandpa and Grandma. Just this time, Sinta saw the figure of her master. It's old, but still simple. It means the person is handsome, perlente, strong. Although only wearing a T-shirt and jeans but Jodi looks very cool. Listen, Mr. Jodi has been widowed because his wife left to marry again.

Sinta approached shyly. He walked slowly without hearing his footsteps. Now, he stands behind his grandmother.

“That's who ?” ask Jodi when she sees Sinta behind her grandmother.

“Oh, it's Sinta mas. My granddaughter. Mother and Father are gone.” explained Grandma.

“Oh yes yes. “ replied Jodi while nodding her head.

“Come Sinta. Introduce this son Jodi.” said grandma.

Jodi reached out to Sinta. Sinta greeted him shyly.

“Oh yes, let's help Grandpa and Grandma bring in the goods Mr. Jodi.” said Grandma to Sinta and Grandpa.

Together they put Jodi's things out of the car. That stuff is a lot. I think Jodi wants to live in this village.

“Mas Jodi want to stay here forever ?” ask Grandpa Sinta.

“Ndak sir. Not forever. But long enough. I want to clean up first all the relics of Father.” explained Jodi.

“Good then.” replied Grandpa.

Carrying royong they brought Jodi's luggage to the room. Large and neat room. The house is not too luxurious. Simple and Neat. For the size in the village of Indragiri, the house does include a luxury house. Because the average house in this village is simple. There are many houses made of wood and bamboo.

“Put it there mba Sinta. Let me tidy up to the closet. “ said Jodi saw Sinta silently sculpting in the room while carrying a suitcase bag.

“Good Sir. Just call Sinta. No need to use Mba.” suggests Sinta.

“OK. Okay Sinta. Thank you yes.” replied Jodi.

“Sama-sama Sir. I went back to Grandma.” said Sinta.

“Eh, wait. This is for you.” Jodi said as she held out a package.

“What is this ?” ask Sinta.

“By-by. Open it later at your house huh?” jodi.

Sinta nodded slowly. Then step out of Jodi's room slowly. However, before leaving the house Sinta peeked into the terrace of his house to make sure Dirjo had gone from there. After seeing the terrace of the quiet house, Sinta immediately went home cheerfully.
