After everything felt neat finally they both came out of the house using the old motor relics of Jasmine's parents. Nathan was riding the motorcycle his heart felt beating, his heart felt racing, especially when his girlfriend hugged him so tightly, as if she was afraid of falling from the bike. Making Nata become more and more wrong.
The sun has begun to feel hot, people who are working in the rice fields some choose to rest in the shade first, not strong to withstand the heat of the sun that is so stinging, so, but some are still working Maybe they are used to the heat that is so the trick of burning.
The motor driven by Nathan and Jasmine continued to accelerate down the village road, emitting dense smoke from the back of its exhaust, but the motorbike was still worth driving because it was able to take them safely so they arrived at one of the rice fields on the outskirts of the village.
The two young men got off the bike, then walked closer to Saung who was still well-maintained, although rarely visited, but Dadang always cleaned it once a week, escorted by other villagers to ensure security, in case there are residents of Cisaga Village who attacked him.
Jasmine ran a little fast towards Saung, not strong enough to withstand the stinging heat, let alone she had just returned from America where the weather was 4 seasons. Arriving at the saung he dropped his body on the sweat, his eyes staring at the rice field that was green, He looks silent while adjusting the breath that was quite hunting. Nathan, who was walking in front of him, came and sat down next to him.
There was no talk coming out of their mouths, as though Nathan let Jasmine reminisce about childhood with the family of the deceased, unlike the usual who was always whiny and her attitude was very annoying.
"Beautiful, the atmosphere of the countryside." said Natan with a quiet voice school praise was really expressed from the bottom of his heart.
"Yes, I always miss my hometown because here the people are very friendly, the proof when we passed the Village Road they always greet by throwing a very sincere smile, he said, unlike when living in a big city or in a country of people, which does not look at all there is hospitality because maybe they are preoccupied with working. in addition to the friendly people of our hometown it looks so beautiful with a stretch of rice fields that stretch as wide as the eye can see in interspersed by coconut trees or bamboo trees that thrive on the edge the river."
"How many years have you lived in America?" nathan asked without taking his eyes off the beautiful creation of God.
"I've been in school there for 2 years, it feels so long, it feels like I don't want to go home, so I feel like I miss coming here even though there are no parents, but there are still many other memories that I can't forget."
"Then you stop going to college there, you will go to college in Bandung like Kak Abduh" Nathan said.
"No, I have to continue studying there so that later I can work in well-known companies. I always dreamed that someday I would work in a very famous company."
"So after college you'll work first?" nathan asked who looked a little disappointed because the delusion to marry Jasmine felt further away.
"Yes, I want to seek out the experience out there before devoting my life to the men I choose, because according to some accounts when women are married then the activities should be limited, the activities should be limited, there is something more mandatory than all that is serving the husband day or night, being at home or working, so I do not want my youth to be constrained, he said, I want to fly like an eagle that can explore the islands, cross the Ocean perch on the continent."
"What are your goals in what company?"
"Anything, the most important thing is already famous. Why do you ask like that, as if a woman can't work."
"It's okay, instead I'm very happy to hear women who want to work hard, do not rest on their hands to rely all on the men, because basically both men and women are all the same, all the same, all human beings who must keep trying to improve themselves and develop."
"If you're after college, what do you want?" jasmine asked, starting to investigate.
"Change how?"
"Now I don't want to get married first, later after I can work and have new experiences if that's me getting married.
"Good, moreover, a man must be responsible, must have more income in order to support his wife."
The conversation continues to exchange ideas, exchange experiences, share the purpose of life looking for similarities between one and the other. but after speaking at length Nathan who initially wanted to express his feelings at a time when there was no one, he was undo because he was very respectful of the principles of others, he said, he did not want to burden others with his wishes, so they just chatted as usual like a friend who was exchanging stories.

Elsewhere, especially in the village of Cisaga. Darman, who is still upset because he has not been able to carry out the task to finish Dadang's life, he continues to be in a corner by his brother that he is very useless. feeling Upset At home unappreciated Darman decided to go out looking for the wind, He walked to the outskirts of the village to calm the mind that was very upset, he said, because he couldn't figure out how to cripple Darman, who'd left his parents disabled for life. a few days ago Darman attacked people who had just returned from the market and hoped that with the commotion he caused the residents of Sagaranten Village would be provoked and out attacking his village, he said, but it did not happen Sagaranten village residents as if to refrain from continuing the commotion so that his plan failed and his brother continued to corner.
"Where are you going Kang?" asked one of the people who happened to come from the front, the man stopped his bike and then turned around after Darman who had stopped.
"Where are you from Wanto?" said Darman did not immediately answer He asked back.
"You go to Akang's house, because at home there is no work, If in Akang's place is quite good even though not working coffee together rok0k is always available."
"Don't go home, lighten me to the rice field, I happen to want to drink with you later who go up."
Hearing the request of such a leader, Wanto did not immediately respond, because even though Darman as the leader He was very stingy unlike his brother named Sutardji who was always Royal to anyone, moreover, his parents always help the misery of the people of Kampung Creation so that when they have enemies then their enemies become enemies of one village. just like the Dadang family who is always respected by the gagaranten villagers inevitably the residents must be trapped in the family conflict that has long occurred.
"Why are you silent, you don't have a cigarette, do you? Yes, I bought it first." said Darman while spending 100,000 and then handed over to Wanto.
"It's not so Kang."
"Udah not much reason, quickly buy cigarettes all buy my cigarettes, later change for you, count as Burhan climbing coconuts."
"Ah who really is Kang?" katawanto seems to not believe.
"When I lied. Yes there buy skirt0k, then follow me to Saung which is at the end of the village." said Darman while pulling back the lever class motor left Wanto who was still silent confusion.
"If talking about the youngest son of Mr. Maja is always so cool but the reality is zero. use his name when he ever lied Though he always lied, even so often it is countless. but let it be the most important thing now that I get a skirt0k and money to buy his coffee." said Wanto while putting the money given from Darman into the bag and then he gave his bike to look for the cheapest stall.
