Not the First
EP. 31 Houses to Live

After the meal, followed by photos as documentation and work report material, all students gathered in accordance with the group. Now they must separate, ready to their respective destination villages.

"The numbers have arrived, let's go which group wants to go first?" asked Mr. Hendra as soon as he saw one transport into the courtyard of the camat office.

"Group two only first, the location is a bit far away," said Alex chimed in.

"Come, group two. Up first. Don't forget the stuff" said Mr. Hendra again

Teta, Pandu, Melly, and other friends immediately entered the angkot ready to take them to the village of Sindang Bungo.

"I'm in front, yes" Teta, who was sitting next to the new driver, asked her friend for permission. He reasoned that he could not ride a vehicle if his sitting position had to be sideways.

"Please, who's the problem. This deck, really," Pandu wisely chimed in.

Alex, approaching their angkot, leisurely stood beside Teta. He wanted to apologize for this attitude to his classmate.

"From here it's only 45 minutes. It's not too far. Here the air is still fresh, so it is comfortable - just drive using any transportation," he said as the origin of the sound.

"I'll visit there later too. We also have to always coordinate," he continued.

Teta was just silent, she did not chim in with Alex's words one word. His gaze was straight ahead while hugging the backpack containing his personal equipment.

"Your numbers are also Dateng tuh," exclaimed Pandu who wanted to melt the situation between Teta and Alex.

"Yes, I want to get ready. Success yes" Alex immediately patted the shoulders of the Pandu who was sitting on the side of the angkot door.

Mr. Hendra just released them until in the subdistrict, he had to immediately return to Jakarta because many tasks that he had to complete before the passing of mid-semester. Not to mention there are some thesis guidance students who can't wait for a revision from him in order to participate in this year's graduation.

"You guys be careful, yeah. Keep coordination and cooperation. Keep the good name of the campus, "the message to the members of group one who is ready in the public transportation.

"Good, Sir. Thank you" they said simultaneously.

"Maybe the next three or four days, Mr. Gun will also review the location,"

"Duerrrrr..," hearing Mr. Hendra mention the name of Mr. Gun, Rey seemed to hear the sound of lightning in broad daylight.

"Yes, Sir. Whenever he does, we happily wait" Alex said

"Yes, always the coordinator of the field supervisor, it is his duty to go around the location to review the work of his students during KKN. Do not hesitate, if there are any complaints or anything just convey to Mr. Gun. We're all tasked with providing you with mentoring,"

"Bribery, Sir. Thank you" said Alex and the others. They split up in Camat's office.

"One room for guys because we're just three. Two more rooms for you. It's up to share there, not to fight" joked Alex as soon as they reached the house of the residents who became their residence in the next 10 days.

"Hu..kayak a small child who Ono aja mengambkan," said Melly.

"Hus..," Rey immediately reminded her friend not to talk about Teta again.

Melly smiled wryly, as did Alex and the rest of the friends.

"Thank God we have a good place. The room is relieved if it is occupied by 3 or 4 people,"

"Yes, no problem. Can replace let everyone suffer from back pain,"

"Huh.ha....,"

"Sstttt. Tar, who has a haunted house," again Rey reminded her friend who discussed the condition of their halfway house.

"Ok, let's get things done to the room. Well, the clothes stay in the bag because the closet is also small,"

Without having to clean tense up, the 7 girls split themselves into their respective rooms. They must be grateful for a place that can be said to be quite decent for the size of the residence in the village.

They were received by the family of Pak Haji Rahmat in his large but quiet house. Their children are studying out of the area. Although they have to share a bathroom, it is not a problem. Near the house there are times, men can bathe, wash, and latrine at times with other residents.

"Bathroom just for bathing and urinating, wash clothes at times so as not to take too long to wait,"

Rara reminded her friends.

"Repot is also in the morning. The bathroom only makes 7 people. If his people want to give up, bathe in the river. If you're not used to it,"

"Must want. Better those who shower at times than us. Time we have to put kemben, rub the body in the watch people. Hi......," Risya closed her eyes at once. He couldn't imagine if that happened.

"Enak-enak soak, kemben sagging to bring the current. Ssreeemmmm," she cried again.

"Appaan, anyway. It's so noisy of you," cried Rafa from the next room.

"Ha.ha. They even laughed compactly. Between funny and serem everything becomes one.

The rooms they occupied lined to the side like beds. In front of the room was a huge space. There is a tube tv with a size large enough and one long chair made of bamboo.

Between the spaces they occupy there is a dividing wall, on the inside there is one room occupied by the couple's husband and wife, the owner of the house, kitchen and bathroom.

In front of the TV is also held large size carpet as a place to relax while watching television. When they arrived, the host welcomed their arrival in the room complete with hot coffee and a warm pempek. There are also bananas and water guavas that they prepare in a large container.

Rafa, Alex, and Dion who had already brought their personal belongings into the room immediately returned to the front room. While waiting for the other friends, they spend the remaining pempek. Meanwhile, those who have a separate house because they have to return to work.

"Enak also like this every day. They have a friendly and loyal home. Can be fat us," said Rafa yanf forced to speak even though his mouth was full of food.

"It looks like we're going to spoil our tongues with pempek while here. So yummy. It felt really good," he said again.

Alex and Dion did not chim in, they both chose to eat fruit and were busy with their respective thoughts.
