At night Nadia is still busy studying because tomorrow there are 4 lessons at once, before long, Alina came home from campus and bought her an egg martabak on the sidelines of Nadia while seriously Alina patted her cousin's sister's shoulder.


“Ciee... the serious again.” Ledek.


“Ya ate first outside her hammer room.” Alina.


“Iya Kak.” Nadia tidied up her books and followed her cousin's sister out of the room to eat martabak telor.


After eating his martab he drank the mango juice then returned to the room to record the source as well as study.


Nadia continued to focus before how long the air became cool at that time she turned to the left side of the girl looking at Hanson while hovering.


Nadia smiled sweetly because Hanson was so very attentive to her because it made it as comfortable as possible for her to study, before long his cousin's brother who was also working on assignments from his lecturer beat Nadia using the book he was holding because he was afraid to see the behavior of his cousin's sister.


 “Au!! Sore brother!” luh Nadia. “Don't like to say what your own smile is?! serem knows!!” said Alina who knows that her cousin's sister has indigo ability.


“Iya..iya sorry beautiful sister Alina.”  Ledek Nadia accompanied by her grin.


“Ya have further learned.” Alina's orders instantly switched back to her laptop.


Time passed until the grandmother opened the door to warn her grandchildren to go to sleep.


THE CLUCK!!


The sound of the door opening showed her grandmother telling her granddaughter to sleep because it was 10 p.m.


“EASY ON SLEEP!! ALREADY MALEM!!” the grandmother's memory of her grandchildren.


 “Iya Eyeang!” Said Kak Alina representing Nadia's answer and the middle-aged woman closed the bedroom door again.


Nadia finished her studies she went to the bathroom to clean herself then put lotion and night cream on her face.


“Sister Alina I slept first ya.” Nadia.


“Ya have slept againand you will enter in the morning, if I'll schedule a lecture afternoon.” Said Alina, who was still struggling with her laptop, Nadia fell asleep.


He began to release the spirit from his body walking through the time of a million spins as if a clockwork sound was heard until he woke up after passing through the time vortex.


Nadia opened her eyes she was already in her usual room with Hanson.


“Je is aware.” Nadia only nodded weakly in response, Hanson approached to sit next to Nadia while tightly grasping Nadia's hand.


 “Why are you turning your face? are you still doubting love?” Nadia lowered her eyelids then exhaled.


“You can ask yourself in your heart Hanson.” Nadia's words left Hanson at a loss for words.


Nadia saw Hanson rubbing his blond hair violently and went out of the room to calm down.


Nadia did not reply to a letter from Lieutenant Willem Hellmus at all but Nadia knew that secretly Hanson was still exchanging letters with Elsje from today Nadia should be able to think wisely so that the house the stairs are not swayed.


“Hanson...Hanson.” Nadia called Hanson feeling that the master did not answer, Nadia tried to stand but her body was sharp or unbalanced and made him fall at the right moment Hanson entered the room and caught Nadia's body.


 “Nadia what are you doing?” hanson asked, who carried Nadia's body and put her back to bed.


“I just called you..” Nadia said in a loud voice.


“What if you need something just call one bendide.” Hanson.


 “I want to talk to you Hanson?” said Nadia who immediately made Hanson look at Nadia, Hanson nodded in response to want to listen to Nadia talk.


Hanson sat on the Mattress helping Nadia lean back with a pillow.


 “I try to believe..sama you...now I ask...one thing...” Nadia took one of her husband's hands with both hands and spoke and made a promise in the name of their marriage, promising to forget Elsje and Willem and regard them as nothing more than friends.


Hanson and Nadia slept in a hugging position as if they had forgiven each other.


Nadia woke up early to prepare a uniform for her husband and warm water for her husband to take a shower and Nadia went down to help the lackeys who were preparing and arranging food on the table.


Nadia who was polishing bread with brown jam felt two hands coiling around her dense waist and Hanson put his chin on Nadia's shoulder.


 “Hanson let me go. I'm polishing bread for you.” Said Nadia who did not realize that Hanson had gone down the stairs and headed to the dining room.


“Now you have breakfast first.” Said Nadia, in the middle of their breakfast Nadia began to open a conversation.


“Hanson can I go for a walk but stay in control of Bendide?” Nadia asked her husband for such a thing.


 “Jaa, why not, but don't go home late.” Answer Hanson.


The girl smiling happily got her husband's approval to take a walk around Buitenzorg or Bogor.


Finish breakfast Nadia rubbed her husband's arm towards the front of the house, they frowned with lips that grilled each other after Nadia finished tidying the man's reddish blonde hair and put a barrett hat on the husband's head.


Hanson left in full uniform and used the car after the departure of Hanson Nadia back into the house.


Nadia back to the dining room to help the Bendides tidy up the dirty dishes, “Nyai already do, let this work all of us.” Apparently one of Bendide who was middle-aged and older than Nadia said as polite as possible.


“No help me mbok let it finish quickly, anyways one of you will come with me for a walk out.” Nadia said with a big smile.


The jongos stared at each other with resignation and they did the job of washing dirty dishes, while Nadia went to get ready to her room she wore a short blue dongker dress that was long until the calf with short arms expands small and in front of the chest there is a large white color ribbon.


After she finished wearing a dress while mirroring in front of the adult-sized glass she turned to the mirror and sat at the dressing table.


Nadia let her hair down and then clamped it to the side with a black hairpin and to tinker she wore a black bando as well, finished with the hair she wore a lipstick and a thin-thin powder.


“Lipstick his color is so red.” Nadia in the heart. But Nadia still wears it very thin so as not to be too red.


After Nadia finished wearing black high heels and then she wore a white round hat with a pink ribbon around the hat, The first hat was bought by Hanson in Batavia.


Nadia does not look like a native in general because her skin can be said like an Indo-Dutch child is not white but also not mature sapodilla, the girl's nose is also not sharp and can be said to be pug but because the height of 167 cm can be said Nadia is an indo child.


After finishing Nadia down while carrying her cluth bag, “Nyai want to go?” tanya arum with kebaya clothes and her hair was curled up.


“Iya Bi Arum, aunty you want to nemenin me.” Nadia said, Arum just looked down and wanted to come along.


“Yaudah if Bi Arum wants to come, get ready there.” Nadia.


“Ya let's come with.” Nadia came out of the house wearing her hat, Nadia was very sorry to see Bi Arum walking barefoot was not hot like Batavia but the conscience of the girl was not hearty.


Nadia was looking for a sandalman but did not find it for Bi Arum, after quite reaching the urban area Nadia saw many people, antique cars, sado, sado, who pass the road and the Indigenous people and the Dutch on a bicycle do not forget the Nyai with their Indo children, he said, added Indigenous workers who carry heavy loads while working with their European employers.


 Nadia wanted to enter the store but was undone because the contents were all pure European so she decided to buy a cake for her husband only and some kitchen needs.


“Nyai want to buy cake, but I wait outside.” Arum.


“Loh why can't I enter, Bi?” asked Nadia who was surprised to see Arum's behavior.


“Itu Nyai.” Show Arum to one of the boards that say, Nadia agitated to understand and then entered the cake shop to buy it.


The smell of the cake coming out of the grill is smelled, “Pak I want this cake?” point Nadia, the Indigenous shopkeeper was just admiring, the buyers who were mostly Europeans saw Nadia with a strange look.


Of course, it makes Nadia uncomfortable not least the teenage indo-dutch children who are the same age see it with a flirtatious look.


“This Non? So 3 picis.” Said the seller, Nadia nodded then gave the money fitting and immediately got out of the store.


“Bi Arum let's shop to the kitchen button?” bring Nadia.


“But Nyai, later if Menner knows his shopping needs kitchen not me shopping or others later I can get angry.” Said Arum with a voice trembling in fear.


“So about my husband let me talk later.” Nadia immediately went away from there because the teenage bloody Indo had noticed her full of interest.


 “Nyai here let me just take it.” Tawar Arum's. Nadia smiled and then gave her cake package to Bi Arum, for the Indo-Dutch teenager had immediately stopped chasing Nadia because she heard Nadia talk with her lackey that she was married.


Nadia chose vegetables and some raw side dishes such as fish, “ini so how much, Bu?” tanya Nadia is friendly to Indigenous fish sellers.


 “10 guilders Nyai.” Nadia gave the right money to fish sellers and vegetable sellers who are also native.


“Nyai here let me take it?” Nadia nodded.


“Nih Mbok bring kitchen groceries only let my cake bring.” Nadia.


Nadia and her lackeys walk in the sunny Buitenzorg city area the air is still cool, the girl chose to walk to enjoy the Bogor air first rather than riding the unloading or car, the girl chose to walk, while buying some ginger, turmeric, and ginger to make herbs.


“Stomme wife!! Snel mijn dure spullen ophalen!!” It means (Stupid woman!! Quickly get my stuff!!)  The voice made Nadia and the surrounding people turn to a nyai who was beaten by her Master for accidentally dropping some groceries such as spices and cloth.


But no one wants to help the poor woman for nothing.


“Mbok please choose first, I want to go there.” Indicate Nadia who is meant is nyai who is crying while collecting her belongings that fell to the ground.


 “Don't Nyai!” Prevent Bi Arum to Nadia, “Why mbok?” tanya Nadia with frown, “Let's be afraid of problems..” Said Bi Arum while shaking her head, Nadia nodded her head understanding what Bi arum meant.


  “What time is this?! Why doesn't everyone have a conscience!!” Said Nadia in Heart while confirming her hat on the head.


“This is so how many bu?” ask Nadia.


“8 Gulden.” Say the seller who wears kebaya while chewing betel, after bringing some ginger, turmeric and ginger Nadia home on foot.


“Mbok why is the road behind me? here beside me.” Nadia.


“Ndak what Nyi, anyways this is already common.” Nadia continued walking while carrying a cake and clutch bag in her hand because she could not bear to see Bi arum carrying all her groceries so she sped up her steps.


Arriving at home he had just closed the gate of the house and just a few steps he heard a voice with a foreign language from inside the house.


“Sarto!” call Nadia when you want to approach the bendide or lackey named Sarto while handling the grass and house plants, Sarto approached Nadia first with a tergopoh road to Nadia who just walked 3 steps to memorize Sarto.


“I Nyai!” said Sarto with a bow.


“That's home who's there?” nadia asked Sarto.


“Menner is home and there are friends too.” Sarto.


“Thank you Sarto you can continue.” Nadia said to Sarto with a faint smile on her lips.


Nadia went into the house when she arrived at the front of the house, she saw Hanson and some friends from his military.


“Hanson!” nadia said, Some friends from the Hanson military who were fighting for panco and some lit cigars so stopped because they saw Nadia coming.


“Arum please prepare a drink and cut this cake serve for them!” nadia orders Bi Arum while giving the cake that was bought earlier in the store.


Hanson stood up to his wife and Nadia bowed her legs in front of them all.


 “I'll be in.” Before Nadia left because she was uncomfortable in the face of Hanson's friends first her husband pulled his arm.


“Hanson what are you doing?” nadia said in a soft whisper, Nadia was afraid of being scolded by Hanson or being pushed to the ground to keep her servants from being low in front of her friends.


 “Please don't,” estimates Nadia wrong Hanson instead hugged her waist with one hand and then introduced her to her friends whose union is still average bachelor.


“Hello mister,” Said Nadia taking off her hat for modesty.


“Hanson I'm going to enter the house, you guys continue having a good time.” Nadia said with a sweet smile to make 1 and 2 friends of her husband who looks European behind a smile. When Nadia was dumbstruck, many friends of Hanson who looked at Nadia's movements to the door.


 “Dedrick, Benhard. I'll pry your eyes out if you guys still catch my wife like that!” hanson said jokingly but Tone an annoyed voice in Dutch.


“Hanson, waar heb je het inlander meisje ontmoet is?”  that means (Hanson, where did you meet that inlander girl?). Ask Benhard.


Nadia only heard from behind the door and did not know the meaning but with the bodo period she entered her room located upstairs, Nadia took off her hat and hung it in the place provided then walked to the dresser made of teak wood and then sat in front of the mirror after removing the clasp and bandony from her hair, while reflecting he combed his long hair.


Nadia closed her eyes for a moment she went to the bathroom to wash her face, after finishing Nadia tied her hair into a braid one to the side with the help of Ratih.


“Nyai tea is lucky to be legally married to Menner, ” Nadia who is reading a book directly puffed into the mirror looking at Ratih who was brushing her hair.


“Means?” nadia asked with a frown.


“Nyai tea is only made as a mistress or mistress is very rare Dutch master who wants to marry her.” Obviously Ratih who had finished tidying Nadia's hair.


“I withdraw, nyai.” PAUSE “mau clean the garden in the middle of the house,” said Ratih who is of age, Nadia smiled while nodding.


Somehow Nadia suddenly felt clenched so she decided to sleep for a while in the 4-pole bed, slowly she began to sleep until one day her grandmother opened her by shaking her body.


 “Wake up also you Nduk, shower abis it dawn prayer!” Grandma's orders for him Nadia only answered the moans.
