The Rewarded Revenge

Simple Happiness

After finishing eating a snack served by mang Joko, we also chatted for a moment. Until dusk comes, but we still feel at home here.

"In this lake there are no crocodiles?" tanya Mahen arrived

As I smiled, what kind of question did I think I was just shaking my head at the sign that there was no crocodile.

"Then, what if we ride the canoe" said Mahen, pointing to the sampan tied to the edge of the lake

There were indeed three canoes, I had prepared from afar.

"By, yuk." I said

He then stood up and stretched out his hand, I immediately greeted him and he helped me up. We walked towards the boat, he untied one of the canoes and then let go.

Soon he climbed up the canoe first, then he again stretched out his hand to help me up. After that, we sat on the sampan and rowed.

The atmosphere in the middle of this lake is very beautiful, the flowers that I planted first have now grown blooming and beautiful. Plus, if you are in the middle of the lake at dusk, it is a very interesting sight.

"Hows it? You likey?" asked Mahen while smiling widely

"Like." I said briefly

Then he stopped rowing causing the boat we were riding to stop, and he turned to me.

"You don't feel sad anymore okay, if there's something you can tell me don't be alone" he said, staring at the bead of my eyes

"Thank you." I said with a thin smile

Spontaneously he rubbed my head, after realizing what he was doing was like nervousness and confusion. Mahen cleared his throat to break the awkwardness, then he went back to rowing.

We sailed to the end to enjoy the beautiful atmosphere around the lake, until dusk no longer show its golden rays or dark day we decided to return to the edge of the lake.

Soon we paddled to the starting point, then he first came down and helped me. Immediately he tied the sampan back, and walked towards the gazebo.

"It's late at night, do you want to go straight home" said Mahen

I just nodded in agreement, pity also mbok Sri I stay all day. I tidied the tray and others, swiftly Mahen pulled a tray containing plates and glasses made of zinc.

"Let me go" he said

"Thank you." I said as I turned to him

He just smiled, and we walked towards the hut in front of the garden. Throughout the garden, there is no more visible workers maybe they have gone home.

Until we reached the hut, we were surprised by mang Joko who had not returned home. Seeing the two of us who were shocked, Mang Joko could only smile clumsily as he approached us.

"Mang Joko hasn't come home yet?" ask me

"Not yet non, deliberately waiting for non Riana afraid of something happening already gini night." he said

"Just be calm, I will take good care of Riana" said Mahen chimed

When Mang Joko smiled faintly, maybe he was afraid if Mahen offended.

"Yowes, no offense first yo. My intentions are good, I want to make sure non Riana is okay. Moreover, it's night anyway, afraid of what happened." said mang Joko lowered his head

"It's okay kang." said Mahen as he patted mang Joko's shoulder slowly

Mang Joko instantly cuddly looking for what, then he turned back towards me.

"Non Riana came home with whatever, just use a mamang bike is okay" said Mang Joko who turned out to be looking for a bicycle

"By mang? We just walk, the wong was also on foot." I said not good

How can I let Mang Joko who is the same age as the father's alm to walk, while we ride a bike. Moreover, the distance of the plantation area to the settlement of residents is quite far up to thirty minutes walk.

"Wes okay, wong mamang house near the first house after being in the settlement" he said

Seeing my face that still felt objectionable, Mang Joko immediately chimed in.

"Wes has used it, it's night" he said then melengos left us

"Well, let's use it let's go up" said Mahen

I just stared at Mahen for a glance, then climbed on top of the splat. Bicycles drove away leaving the silence of the garden, all the way only silent no one opened his voice.

Until the bike stops right in front of my house, the house is shaped stage that is quite large but not as big as my previous home.

There was already seen mbok Sri who was waiting for me while walking back and forth uncertain direction, seeing my arrival mbok Sri immediately walked hastily approaching me.

"You are from anywhere anyway nduk." said mbok Sri worried

I just smiled faintly in response to Sri's words, until Sri mbok averted her gaze to look towards Mahen. While the one who was stared at just smiled while looking down, then Mahen got off the bike and walked towards us.

He then shook the back of Sri's hand, while mbok Sri turned back to me.

"He is who" said mbok Sri whispering

"This is Mahen mbok, the man I told mbok Sri" I said

Mbok Sri just ber oh ria, then he thanked Mahen who had brought me home. After that, Mahen immediately went on a bike owned by Mang Joko.

Mahen said that he alone will deliver the bike back to Mang Joko tomorrow, after Mahen has not seen me and mbok Sri enter the house.

"Somehow the feeling of mbok mbok bad on Mahen" said mbok Sri arrived after we sat in the guest room

"Why did Mbok Sri say that?" ask me

"Don't know, just feeling mbok." he said

"Actually I also feel like it mbok, let alone mbok Sri remember anyway when I said I could not penetrate it" I said

"Yo, intine you must be careful nduk. Mbok does not want to lose you too, let alone mbok already have no one who is enough." said mbok Sri

I just nodded while holding the hand mbok Sri, mbok Sri does not have who. In the past, the father said that mbok Sri worked in the Pramono family since young.

Mbok Sri was once an orphan, whose other family is also unknown to her whereabouts. Mbok Sri is married but until now has not been awarded a descendant, while husband mbok Sri died a few years ago.

Now only me and mbok Sri are left behind, I also do not want to lose mbok Sri. Because from childhood I was very close to mbok Sri, mbok Sri who took care of me and was there for me from the past.

I consider mbok Sri already like my mother, after finishing talking. We immediately entered each room to rest, I deliberately did not shower first because later at midnight I will take a flower bath as usual.
