SAWMILL
188. ACCORDING TO PLAN….

“Rita..I am curious about the leader here”.

“Indeed why cake?”

“No papa RIta, said they were very nice people huh?” ask me about Agus

“Hehehe if what grandparents hear like that is indeed the nature of our leader, he is loved by residents here and the community outside here”

“Pair husband and wife who is quite old and unfortunately until this moment has not been blessed the child is very very good”

You know who has not had children. then Inggrid who, why is it different from what anyone said before, even my ancestors anything wrong with saying about the leader here’.

“Ah cook has not had a child Rita?”

“Iya nek.. they both have no children…. Poor actually our leader ini” replied Rita

“Eh my dear grandfather…. Grandma if if you see mbak Rita this is our keinget cucuk whose name is Ingrid” I start fishing RIta about the name Inggrid

At first, Agus was dumbfounded when I said that name, but a second later he responded to what I said.

I also tried to see the look on Rita's face, whether there was a change in her face when I called the name Inggid.

Apparently not... Rita's face no change at all…!

“Ah yes grandma…. Our grandson Inggrid how reportedly nek” replied mas Agus

“Grandmother misses our grandson cake.”.

“Ehemmm sorry cake.nek, even grandparents are sad like this anyway, for now do not be sad dong, so that grandparents can reminisce” said RIta with a smile

Hmm why is Rita's face not showing any change at all, she is mediocre, hhmm is there something wrong with our goal yes, are we in the wrong place?

Or is Rita hiding something, but when seen from her face, she is ordinary, she does not hide anything at all

“Nak Rita.. take us to the palace that we used to go there first..whether in the past and now still remain or not”.

“Eh sorry... to enter the palace obviously can not granny..the arrangement is like that, should not be carelessly people enter there”.

“Eh grandfather and grandmother were last here when the hell, I asked how the situation here….. Has it been a long time since I have been here?” I asked Rita, I think she's starting to get suspicious of us.

“Aduuuh to Ritaaaa.. Grandma thought a week ago we were here to kek”

“Ah ngawur... granny is senile ya apparently... we have not been here for a long time, since we were married, we have never been here again hihihi”.

“The senile is who.. yes this grandfather who is senile, this grandmother is still strong remember him.

“Grandma still remembers when grandfather with a man named Musthopa was kissing in the cow pen!.... Grandma still remembers everythingaaaa!!”

I deliberately made a rowdy atmosphere, so that Rita felt that I and Agus were remembering the past and bringing up the past.

And it turned out to work.the Rita was stunned to see me and mas Agus ..he was stunned to see me who was scolding mas Agus hihihihi.

“S..already nek.. past do not remember again, the incident will have happened decades ago”.

“Cannot nak Rita.. This grandmother is still the same grudge whose name is Widuri gatel widow who always greeted grandfather when grandfather came home from rice fields”

“Not to mention Musthopa a Malay male who until now has not been married and has not died either..Huuuhhhh!”.

“Nek... patience.do not umbar ab in front of the grandma...

“Iyaaaa.but grandma would be nice to remember that!”

“Nek.. patience….. Remember this grandma is old...” said RIta calm myself hihihihi.

“Can't nak Ritaaaa.. If gini how, grandma want divorce justaaaa!”

“Hussshhh what the hell is this grandma... don't gini nek.....!. nak Rita.please help me son, my wife if this is going to be bad nak” mas Agus told Rita…

It turns out that Agus also understands what I mean….

I'm like this so Rita can do something so I can calm down.

“Nek.... do not like this grandma... remember the age of the grandma and grandpa is already decades together, the cook must remember what happened in the past.... or...”

“Atau gini only nek.. I will take you to enter the palace.. let's go there first, later I ask for time first for permission to the guard palace”.

Eventually, Rita was fooled…

Finally he wants to also invite me and mas Agus to go in there, it is so old people like this gini are delicious too. I can bring people to their knees hihihi

“Hmmm if Rita wants to invite grandma there.

“Ohhh grandma wants grandpa find Widuri and Musthopa again gituuuu?”

“HAAAAH... DON'T LOOK FOR MORE THINGS CAKE!”

“Hussh already... grandpa and grandma ..you two are going there with me.. Now we go there first, you two wait in a garden chair… wait for me there ya”

Hehehe Rita was ashamed.The people who passed by in this park noticed my behavior and the behavior of Agus.

Later after being there, I will do the second plan.

May mas Agus understand with my second plan, because for my second plan this needs hehehehe.

Walking in some kind of alley leading towards this palace gave me goosebumps, not because it was terrible, but many pairs of eyes that saw me and Agus walking along with Tina.

I don't know why they're looking at me with such a weird look, but certainly from the gaze that saw us this signifies that they are less fond of my existence and mas Agus who headed towards the palace of the leader of this area.

“Grandpa and grandpa can still walk in that direction right..we are half the journey you know you” said Rita.

“Just relax son Rita..biar slow origin congratulations, do not like grandfather...he likes grusa grusu do not want to think about the consequences.”.

“No thought because if you play crazy with a widow named Widuri and a man named Mustopha!”

“Nek.... have it.. I have to apologize to grandma a thousand times.. cook the hell the mistake that happened decades ago always remembered remember....doesn't there have a chance to apologize?”

“Nek..kek..already be..inget health you two cake..you are very old to discuss the problems that usually occur in young people “ said Rita with a smile.

“Let's keep going..we are not half way there yet...” said Rita again.

I deliberately kept my way of walking, so that it was as if I was trying hard to make the journey to the palace.

Mas Agus also several times saw the way I walked more slowly, he began to feel that I would do something after this.

Although I tried to slow down my walking, but Rita seemed to not care about me, she seemed to have started to enter my plan, he tried to get us into the palace immediately, which he said no one else could go in.

“Nek.... still able to go there, it is not far anymore kok nek, dear if you have to stop here nek”

“Just calm Rita…. Grandma is still able to walk, even if the location of the place is twice or three times further, grandma still able to go there kok”

I walk with a bow, which my hips sore too if I have to walk in a way slightly bent and slow land.

Mas Agus who was holding my hand never stopped massaging my back, but indeed the massage was a lot useful also if we walk while bending like this.

Moreover, in a limped manner like this, it would obviously weigh heavily on my back and waist.

“Before soon has arrived, it's ahead there is a kind of small garden, well there later grandma and grandpa wait for me first huh, yes, I will go inside for a moment to ask and permission to the palace guard first.” point Rita at a small park

“Just relax son Rita, grandma and grandpa will be patiently waiting for permission from the owner”

“Not from the owner nek.. but who manages the small palace, our leader does not mind if there are tourists who visit here, only the manager who does not agree”.

“Because the palace is a place of honor and not just anyone can enter there” said Rita while walking a bit quickly ahead of me and mas Agus

“Nek... Rita wants to go inside first yes.. Grandma and grandpa just wait on that bench first”

In front of a not-so-great building with a large gate made of wood, with Chinese-style architecture and a dominating red color there is a shady garden.

The garden with neatly trimmed grass in the middle there is a tree that is similar to a trembesi tree, and is thickly leafy.

Beneath it was a bench made of long wood that seemed to have been there for a long time.

Agus and I sat on this bench and looked around the park.

There were some people who were enjoying the beauty of this building that they called the palace, but they could only enjoy from the park alone, these people could not enter it.

Most likely these people are also tourists like the two of us as well, just that their destination and we are of course different heheheh.

“Mas.... already know Tina's next plan yet?”

“Hehehe if there is a plan that love the sign dong mbak, I will be confused that kayak earlier, fortunately I understand and immediately align with the plan executed by mbak Tina hehehe”

“Yes sorry mas, it was going to happen suddenly.. because the Rita was starting to suspect us mas”.

“Iya mbak, I know.makanya I was quick to think when mbak Tina began to act strangely.. anyway if you want to do something please give my sign first mbak hehe”

“Sssst silent first mas, it's Rita just out of there”

“Later when it is inside, Tina will pretend to be sick and faint. mas Agus just follow what Tina will do”.

Rita walked a bit quickly to the park where I and Agus were sitting together.

His face seemed happy, meaning that maybe the palace had agreed when we both went in hehehe.

“Nek... cake, both of you are allowed to go in there, and you are given fifteen minutes to be inside, as they are late afternoon this afternoon will receive guests from their families”

“Oh, then let's go in there cake..”

“We will wait in front of the gate first yes nek kek.. wait pangawal palace to open the gate first”.

I walked through the garden to the palaces that were not so big, obviously not so big, because in fact this palace was only the residence of their leader.

So it is not like a large and magnificent royal palace, which we will enter this is just a place to stay, but of course I think even though it is a residence, this palace is quite large as well.

Maybe in it there are some rooms and buildings, but we better go in first to know what is really in there.

“Oh yes.. One more thing that must be understood.do not ask the name of our leader to anyone here, let grandmother and grandfather who will know by themselves just”.

“And don't ask about child or offspring. “.

“Lho said son Rita last time in the front garden, they have not been blessed with children?” ask me about Agus

“Yah... just think so cake. anyway do not ask names and do not ask about their descendants, grandparents just introduce themselves….  That too when our leaders will be pleased to meet grandparents”

“Because our time inside will not be long, I hope grandfather and grandmother can use the time as well as possible”

“Iya nak Rita.. we just want to reminisce, because we are old and afraid of our time soon in this nature, son Rita”

Agus and I are still waiting in front of a large building, we are waiting for the gate to open

Some of the people who were with us in the park then gathered with the three of us. They thought they could go inside with us.

Rita then approached some people, and invited them to talk that I and Agus were guests of the owner of this place.

At first the tourists insisted on being able to enter, but after the arrival of the doorman and explained that Agus and I were guests of the owner of this place, they finally understood too.
