Chapter 14


Nightfall.


After the dance practice. On the way home, the young man invited the Rose to talk to remove the silence.


"Your rose was dancing so well." Praise the young man.


"really? But Ms. Nari is still protesting against me because my way of pulling is still not good."


"Every day you practice?"


"Yes!"


"But why is it that every day you practice dancing until night? Aren't you tired after working all day?"


"Yes I must be obliged to practice dancing every year, because it is soon the birthday of Lord Rama. Every year, Lord Rama always celebrates his birthday by holding a dance."


"Well, should it be that extravagant to celebrate his birthday? Who is Rama here? Why are the citizens here so obedient to his orders and so adoring to him?"


"Master Rama is the son of Mr. Arifin, the head of the village here and the richest man in the village. Mr. Arifin has given the citizens a job. So the citizens here respect him a lot."


"Oh so!"

After arriving home.


Rose, her parents, and the young man were having dinner together.


"Let's add more fish." Barat sir Revelation to the young man.


"Sir, is there no meat here? From yesterday eat fish and vegetables continue." The young man complained.


"No boy, because we eat only potluck. There is no money to buy meat" said Ms Ayu.


"Son, this is our life. Eating potluck, the name is also poor family yes this way. If you want to eat meat later I'll try to buy it if there's money." Speak to Wahyu with a weary smile.


"It's okay sir. I don't mind eating anything." Said the young man listlessly.


"Sir, said Mr. Rama. This Akang must have a name in our village. We have to give him a temporary name until his memory recovers. So he's got a name here." Rose Advice.


"Yes, you're right too." Say sir Revelation new thought.


"Wood how?" Rose Ideas.


"Woodoo son of Mr. Wisman. We have to find another name that's not the same as the citizens' names here." Said mr. Revelation. Then they started thinking again.


"Accept how? Asep's son died last year. So there's no Asep's name in our village." Bu Ayu's Idea.


"Don't ma'am, it doesn't seem to fit well! This guy looks like a city guy so we have to give him a good name." Tukas Roses.


"Ah, you give me any name. I don't mind, the important thing is that I have a name in this village." Said the young man.


"How is that?" Rose Ideas.


"Revelation is your father's name!" Firmly Bu Ayu while pursing her lips. The young man laughed immediately.


"How about the yellow?" The idea of Revelation sir.


"Muneret?" Bu Ayu and the Rose were confused.


"Just let's find it in the river. At that time the river was running. How about we name him Munir? Munir behind him 'ir' which is taken from the word flowing." Obviously mr. Revelation.


"Yes sir, I agree!"


"It seems like Rose still disagrees, ma'am, because this young man is from the city so his name should be as good as the city people too." Denying Roses.


"That's... You're not necessarily he's from the city! What matters is that he has a name in this village. Moreover, it seems that his name already matches this village." Said Ms. Ayu.


"Yes, I totally agree with that name! I don't mind. I like that name that seems good to me." The young man agreed.


"That's right to see! He just likes his name. From now on your name is Munir ya." Said Ms. Ayu.


"Good Mom." Said the young man nods happily who now has a name that is Munir.


"The rose disagrees! Tomorrow the rose will find a better name for her." Say the rose and go away.
