The journey was quite long and exhausting. Pakde Tejo stopped his tub car in a hut in the middle of the trip.
"We take a break from Zea!" mr. Tejo said.
"Yes sir" I replied.
We went inside to be greeted by an old woman who was stirring a drink. There are some people in it who also seem to be resting.
"The coffee beans are one, Zea what do you want?" ask mr Tejo.
"Zea tea is warm" I replied.
"Warm tea is one yes mbok" added Tejo.
I held my jacket tight because the air here was so cold. We were driving last night and it was morning.
I looked around as people sipped their black coffee and were eating the available fried foods.
Pakde Tejo took the banana fritters that were in the tray.
"Take it if you want Zea! Morning gini delicious that anget angel" said Pakde Tejo.
"Yes Pakde" I replied.
I offered my hand to take the fried banana on the tray.
"Please drink it" said mbok owner of the hut brought our drinks.
"Thank you" I said while receiving a glass from mbok.
I drank the warm tea and felt a warm sensation in my body.
"Em Zea's! Pakde would like to tell! Where you live later might be the atmosphere will also be like this! The place is simpler than where you live in the city! Doesn't it matter?" asked Mr. Tejo to ask me about my decision.
I smiled, "No problem sir! Zea is quick to adapt anyway" I replied non-selectively because my goal was to avoid.
"Good then! Pakde will know the son of Pakde. He is your age too. You can have a conversation together" said Mr. Tejo.
"Yes pakde" I reply as courtesy.
We took a break of about 30 minutes and returned to Tejo's car to continue our journey.
I don't know how long we've been driving considering we've been gone since last night.
"How long are we going to get to Pakde?" many ensure.
"Why? Tired? Then sleep with. It's still three hours away. Still far!" answer mr Tejo.
It was a long time on our journey. But it's good because the further I go the further I'm from Alvin and that's a good thing.
"Em then Zea sleep sir" I said.
Last night I did not sleep. I accompanied Mr. Tejo while talking about the place we were going.
"Yes please! Later if we get to wake up" said Pakde Tejo.
I smiled, leaned my head against the glass, and hugged the bag you were carrying as a bolster. I close my eyes and fall asleep in my sleep.
Until the sunlight hits my face. I blinked my eyes adjusting my foggy eyes.
I saw around it looked like a remote rural area that wasn't as crowded as it was in the city.
"Will you reach uncle?" my many.
"Eh, wake up! Just wait until" replied Uncle Tejo.
I rubbed my eyes with my palms, then I closed my lips that evaporated.
It's very fresh here, even if it's a little hot.
Uncle Tejo drove his tub car to the village area with rice fields stretching around.
Until Pakde Tejo stopped at a house that looked simple. Pakde Tejo claks his car.
Tin
Then a woman appeared from inside the house.
"Let's get off Zea" take Tejo's pack.
I followed Tejo's pack out of the tub.
"Badam is here!" exclaimed the woman welcomed the arrival of Tejo Pakde.
The woman looked at me, "This must be Zea" he said.
I nodded while commenting on the smile and then crucified the woman.
"Zea this is sirde's wife! Lastri his name is also, call me budhe Lastri" said pakde Tejo introduced.
"For budhe Lastri" I said.
Budhe Lastri smiled kindly, "Morning!" the answer.
I nodded in the footsteps of Mr. Tejo and Budhe Lastri into the house. I saw how simple their home was, unlike my home in the city. But one thing is for sure, this house also looks comfortable to live in.
"Sit Zea" said Pakde Tejo.
I sat on their simple sofa, holding a head around the house.
"Where is buk?" ask Mr Tejo to his wife.
"Well, yes, you have gone to school sir, early morning gini" replied budhe Lastri with a little distinctive accent.
One thing I believe is that Tejo and Budhe Lastri's pakde's son is a woman and her name is Ayu.
"Oh yawes! Earlier wanted to immediately not know Zea" reply Tejo pact.
I just kept quiet hearing the conversation.
"Oh yeah! Neng Zea must be a laper, right? Want to eat first? It just so happened that Budhe cooked a chicken stew" budhe Lastri asked me to pay attention.
I happen to be hungry but I'm a little awkward to say yes.
"Budhe bring it here! Let you eat the same pakde" said budhe Lastri understanding.
"Aah!" I can't say anything to see budhe Lastri who's gone behind.
After a while budhe Lastri returned with a rice basket made of bamboo, then a bowl of chicken stews, plates and spoons. I saw him a little bit confused. How could Budhe carry all that.
I got up to Budhe Lastri, "Here budhe let Zea help!" I said lighten the burden of budhe Lastri.
Budhe Lastri accepted my help making me take over the rice basket that Budhe brought. With my heart I laid on the wooden table in front of the sofa.
Budhe Lastri put the plate in front of me. Get rice.
"So this is enough?" ask budhe Lastri.
I gawked, "Ah, Let Zea herself be a budhe" I jolted with disdain and unease.
I took a plate in the hand of budhe Lastri and then changed to take enough side dishes. Budhe Lastri seemed to let me go and started eating for her husband.
After eating Budhe Lastri and Pakde Tejo told me to rest in the room ayu. I agree because both are forcing and I am also still sleepy. So I can't refuse.
I put myself in the room. Women's cash rooms that look clean and organized.
I close my eyes, get back to rest.
Zea Pov off

Back to the time mommy Mira and Alvin talked.
"The next day mommy returned to visit Zea" Mira said.
"But Zea is no longer home! He's gone" continued Mira's mommy making Alvin's chest ache.
"Keep!" Alvin.
"Say her parents Zea has gone there" said Mira.
"Where?" ask Alvin to hope.
Mommy Mira smiled at Alvin, "Of course, where she's hiding" replied Mira. Alvin was a little annoyed by mommy Mira's reply.
"The bottom line is that Zea's fine there now. You don't have to worry ", Mommy continued.

Mommy Mira smiled ruffled Alvin's hair that looked irritated
"Mom" said Alvin stopping Miranda's hand.
Miranda clasped Alvin's hand tightly and looked at his son hoping, "Alvin! Can you give Zea some time?" miranda said sincerely.
"Time? Any more?" said Alvin heavy. He has done it and what the result is.
"From mommy's story you must have understood! Zea understood his position. He knows he can't get away from you, but he still chooses to leave. Because what?" Mommy Mira cupped Alvin's face.
"Because Zea doesn't want to be with me" Alvin replied.
Mommy Mira shook her head, "Not Alvin! Zea's just tired. Try to remember! The problem between you is just trivial. But sometimes it's not you who exaggerate the problem with your jealousy!" mommy Mira said she understood well with her son.
"I don't" said Alvin, but he realized immediately.
"Can't you?" ask mommy Mira again.
Alvin was silent, 'Can it?' alvin asked himself. He seemed to be consumed by the seduction of the mommy that he could not refuse.
"okay! Lastly" replied Alvin agreed. Mommy Mira smiled hearing that.
