POV Riana
Until the afternoon before dusk I was sitting relaxing on the terrace, seen from a distance mas Damar was pedaling a bicycle to get here. After arriving in front of me, Mas Damar also developed his smile.
Soon mas Damar parked his bike next to my house, immediately mas Damar got off the bike and pulled my wrist. Mas Damar took me to the living room, and we sat down.
"Mas wants to talk about something" he said
"Speak what?" much
"Strong wes jerky."
I was not surprised to hear it anymore, I honestly terrorized Sekar only once. But who would have thought, fear made him hallucinate until like this.
"Did you drive him crazy?" ask Damar
As soon as I stared at Mas Damar sharply, how could he think like that.
"I only terrorized her once." I said
"Then why.." mas Damar did not continue his words.
"His own fear that makes her like that isn't me."
"Hmmm." Mas Damar only mangosteen
"Has the garden finished harvesting?" much
"Once, maybe tomorrow we will start building your house first. As for the cleaning of the garden, let the other workers."
I just nodded.
"Loh nak Damar has come, want to take a shower or eat first?"
Suddenly the voice mbok Sri surprised us, while mbok Sri himself just smiled.
"Just eat mbok, coincidentally after returning from the garden Damar had stopped by the house first to bathe." said mas Damar
"Alright, let's come." said mbok Sri
We immediately followed Sri's steps to the Kitchen, there was already seen bude Ratna who was arranging food on the table. Seeing us who had stood not far from her, Bude Ratna smiled.
"Mrene." said Bude Ratna
Mrene /Come
We immediately approached the Ratna bude and sat on the rattan chair, bude Ratna swiftly took the plate made of zinc for us.
"This was the same bude cooking your favorite food" said Bude Ratna as she scooped kale stir fry and sambal catfish terasi my plate
I just smiled faintly in response, We immediately ate with greed.
...****************...
After we finished eating, we were all sitting in the living room. This is my chance to express my heart that wants to live alone in the forest there, mas Damar and mbok Sri already know.
"Bude, Riana wants to say something. To mas Damar and mbok Sri as well, even though you already know." I said turning towards mas Damar and mbok Sri
As all pairs of eyes stared at me, their gazes seemed to intimidate me.
"What's up?" bude Ratna asked as she furrowed her brow in confusion
"I'll go tomorrow to some place." I said
"Where's nduk? And why, are you not comfortable here with Bude and Damar?" ask bude Ratna in a row
I quickly shook my head, that's not what I meant. But I had also expected that if Bude's reaction was not much different from Damar's, they thought that if I was uncomfortable with them and chose to leave.
But I was also confused on how to explain, it was also impossible if I said that I wanted to go to hone my black magic.
"Sir." said Bude Ratna when I was just silent
I turned towards mbok Sri hoping to help me answer the question bude Ratna, mbok Sri who understood my gaze immediately spoke.
"It's not like that Ratna, you don't misunderstand me first. Riana wants to go to find people who have eliminated the Pramono family, that's all" said mbok Sri
Mbok Sri called his mother Damar by name, because of their age can be said to be the same age. Only, the age of mbok Sri is slightly older than bude Ratna may only be different a year.
"You don't be weird, they're dangerous people" said Bude Ratna worried
"Bude take it easy, I can take care of myself." I said
"But.." Bude Ratna was unable to continue his words.
"Trust me bude" I said convincingly as I clasped the hand of Bude Ratna
After quite a long time convincing Bude Ratna finally he agreed too, the conversation was over. Bude Ratna had slept in his room, while mas Damar chose to go home to the village of Ketang.
Now, only me and mbok Sri are still in the guest room. I saw Sri's restless face, I also told Sri to talk.
"Just tell me, what makes you restless" I said
"Ehh.. Are you sure you want to stay alone? You do not lie mbok yo, mbok already with you when you were first born and still a red baby. Mbok knows how you are, you will not be able to do everything yourself" said mbok Sri
"Who will cook for you, who makes warm water for you to shower, and who will look for flowers" said mbok Sri
Mbok Sri speech is not wrong, since childhood my family is very spoiling me. All done by the servants in my house first, if I want something the servants also do.
But I have to be able to, I have to be independent. Because after that, I will face my own enemies.
"I can definitely mbok." I said
Mbok Sri just held his breath and breathed a rough breath, maybe he knew as hard as anything to persuade me would not waver with my decision.
"You look exactly like your father, you're stubborn. Why don't you just imitate your mother, who is submissive." said mbok Sri snorted annoyed
I just smiled and looked at her, and then we decided to go to sleep.
