"Assyn"
I came to say hello.
"Wa'alaikum salutations."
Ineke welcomed him kindly. He then took over the groceries brought by Akak.
"Thank you, Brother."
"Yes, Ke. Oh yea. I have to go straight home. I want to make cornstarch."
"Well, that's good?"
"Later I will send you here if you have Mateng.!"
"Oh, no need, brother. Ngerepotin. Ineke will do it himself. Ineke will buy corn from the people."
"Lho, if you want to make Yo Ndak need to buy, you just take it in Tegal Akak. Yo? Don't be ashamed, just take it yourself. Remember the nets?"
"Still, Brother. Thanks, brother?"
I am not saying goodbye home. Arend who heard their conversation then approached Ineke.
"We're leaving now, Aunty. It's also only 3 o'clock. Arend kangen wants to eat a corn salad made by Aunty."
"I'm coming". Zico is approaching. Ineke smiled very sweetly. Rain still kept watching her from the stairs. With his ridiculous mind that wants to kidnap Ineke the wife to be conquered under his control. Stupid indeed.
"Yes already, say the same mama used to gih, in the house of Mr. Kiyai Umar. Aunty put this cooking ingredient inside first."
"OK, Aunty. Let Zico have permission with Mamah."
Ineke. Arend is coming in. He wants to take his catapult.
Ineke stepped into the house. Rain rises. He wanted to help Ineke who was carrying groceries. Ineke did not respond. He casually continued to go inside ignoring Rain.
Rain doesn't care. He followed Ineke's steps. Keep tailing. Ineke picked up a fairly large knife in the kitchen. It will be used later to take the corn.
Rain accidentally blocked Ineke's path who wanted to turn around. And Ineke also accidentally unsheathed the sharp object right in front of Rain.
"Hey?". Rain shouted as the thing almost hit him.
"Are you going to kill me, miss?." Rain shouted back.
"Is there anything that's dead that can still be killed, sir?"
Rain did not understand the answer Ineke gave. (The implied meaning of Ineke is the feeling Rain is dead.)
"Surge, Sir. You're blocking my path."
Ineke stepped up tightly.
Rain gripped onto his own two palms. He felt angry mixed with Ineke's attitude like this.
Ineke and Arend were already on the front page of the house. Zico's back.
"It has. Mamah even really cool. He also misses eating corn pelas."
Zico comes with news after asking permission from Ayla. They look very happy.
Rain ran, then stopped their steps.
"Wait, I'm coming.".
Ineke continued walking without responding to Rain's words. He joined hands with Zico. Arend smiled cynically. He seemed to understand the situation going on between his Aunty and Lord Rain.
"Follow it, sir. As long as you can walk."
Arend said cynically which made Rain chuckle in annoyance. Arend knew that Rain was getting upset. But he just widened his smile even more and stepped casually following the direction of his Aunty. The more upset the more makes others happy.
They passed the uphill road. Tegal Akak is on the mountain slope. The road that passed was pretty good. Although sometimes there are still roads that are hollow because they have been damaged.
The right left of the road in suguhi with the same view. The law belongs to other citizens.
(Tegal is agricultural land that is in the higher ground. So it is common in the cultivation of corn, pea chili. While the rice fields are agricultural land that is in the lowlands inundated with water and mud in the rice cultivation. Kale, etc. That's my version. )
After a half hour walk. They arrived in Tegal. Cool air, clean, green scenery that refreshes the eyes. And, I don't know. It can only be felt. It's harder to describe.
Arend asked Aunty for permission to walk around the area. That's common. Zico followed. Ineke lives alone with Rain.
Ineke slashed his knife at the corn he was aiming for. One by one, the corn slipped from the tree.
"Let me help, Ke?"
Rain offered help.
"You won't be able to do it, sir."
Answer Ineke cynically. Rain doesn't care. He grabbed the knife and tried to take the corn like Ineke had done.
Could indeed. But it looks so stiff.
"Danahhhh, aaaahhhh". Suddenly Rain screamed loudly. Run away from the corn tree that was about to be cut down.
"What's wrong?" Ineke panicked.
"Tool, caterpillar. Keep that horrible creature away from me?."
Rain really looks scared. Ineke laughed and saw him. He shook his head. Not Main.
"Why are you laughing? What's so funny?"
Ineke still chuckles. He finally tried to suppress his laughter.
"Are you really a Mafia boss? Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha"
Ineke chuckled back.
"Here's the knife." Ineke asked for the knife Rain was holding. Rain gave it with an annoyed look, Karna Ineke laughed at her who was amused at the sight of a caterpillar.
Ineke went back to cutting corn. He let the caterpillar stay in place.
"It's just a caterpillar, Rain. Why scared?"
"That's so disgusting." Responded Rain with a tingly feeling.
"Even something disgusting can finally become something very beautiful after passing through the stage of the life cycle, Rain. So are humans."
Ineke smiled towards Rain. So pretty. He lifted the corn that was put in the sack. Rain kept staring at the wife.
Ineke tried to lift the corn that was inserted in half the sack. Pretty heavy. Even Ineke almost slipped while lifting him up.
With a swift Rain grabbed Ineke's body balancing his body. The sack that Ineke was about to lift fell back to the ground.
Rain grabbed Ineke's body. Perfectly attaches his body to Ineke's. They stared at each other. They are both equally lulled.
Rain tidied up Ineke's haircut that was blocking his face. With a gentle gesture Rain began to approach his face and was about to link his lips to Ineke.
"Aunty? Is it done?"
Ineke quickly pushed Rain's body after hearing Zico's voice. He looks wrong.
"Catshhh*****t". Rain snorted annoyed.
"Aunty, already?". Zico again asked when he was close to his aunty.
Ineke smiled stiffly. And nod.
"Let me take it." Rain lifted the sack containing corn onto his shoulders. They then travel back home.
On the way they occasionally meet with climbers who want to peak or who have gone down.
It's still on one track. Before there are two paths. One leads to a residential area. One to the Administration post.
Suddenly someone called out to Ineke from behind. A familiar voice.
"Ineke?." Shouted a man from behind.
Ineke, Rain, Arend and Zico stop. Then look towards the source of the sound. Ineke widened his eyes as if he could not believe what he was seeing.
A handsome man dressed as a climber in general stood up with a wide smile that looked extremely sweet. Next to her was a daughter who was slightly younger than Arend and Zico. Their hands are joined.
"Sister Aaron?." Lirih Ineke's. Rain nodded. It was like he had heard this name.
'Aaron?.'
