Gita Dusk Geetruida
Not Everything Is Rated With Money

"A-what show, Zain?"

"Ck, when your wife comes back into your arms and you have a new home, you don't want to celebrate? Verily, Allah is the One who has blessed you, so that He may enjoy His sustenance. There is no need to be massive, just invite the neighbors around and friends of the ship alone," suggested Zain.

"Truely what Zain said was nak Aga, so that the new house that you will occupy later feels comfortable, safe, and blessed. The way we are grateful can be in various ways, in addition to personally can also be as suggested by Zain earlier. Do not forget that if we are grateful, then God will increase the blessing even more," Mr. Ruslan completes Zain's advice with his advice.

"Hm, thanks for the advice Ruslan sir, Zain. God really good has allowed us to meet, but-"

"But what else, Ga? What makes you doubt."

"Em, that .. what is the exchange rate, is the rest of the money enough? Or the rest of the gold is sold out, so that I am not owed. It's okay, we started everything from scratch, I'm sure God will make it all up" Agastya said.

"Well, let you be more sure that God is really good with us, then the exchange rate should not be a burden, Ga."

"What do you mean, Zain? Obviously it's going to be a burden, you think it's good to wake up?"

"Yes, I'm not saying make the house easy, Ga. I want to tell you the secret, yes. You must not know that my brother, me and my sister Zaid have a hobby of carpentry, so your house we make together, you can also follow, really."

"Yes, but what about the payment, Zain?"

"Ahaha, how much money do you need from Agastya, bah?" Sahut Zain returned his father's smile.

"Geez Agastya, not all jobs have to be judged by money. We here the spirit of family and mutual assistance is high, the people you have helped must remember you and when you need to be helped will definitely be replaced even though not exactly as the help you have given," obviously Mr. Ruslan again.

"Hm, it's not wrong that we are in the circle of people who are good yes, mas," Aya timpal said in a haru tone.

"God willing, you are always in a good environment, son of Aya."

"But, sir ..what if people, especially neighbors ask me where I am suddenly, what if anyone knows I once worked as-"

"Ah, yes no need to tell a story. Not saying everything doesn't mean lying. Later we just say that you just came from Jakarta, following your husband, just like that, son Aya."

"But ..." Aya was still doubtful.

"Don't think of a possible no-no. After all, even if they know you've been an evergreen homestead girl before, you've said it honestly because you were kidnapped and framed, done. I know exactly, you also don't want to work in such a place, right?"

"That's it. Stop remembering the bad things that have passed, now you are a free woman, Aya. Life is moving forward and don't get tired of learning to improve. Allah will enable you to overcome all difficulties as long as you are able to keep your marriage as a woman and also as a wife. Hang out with the right people who can help you become a better human being. This doesn't mean I want to say that hanging out in our neighborhood is the best, because everyone has their own advantages and disadvantages, it all depends on how you carry yourself," again Mr. Ruslan is not stingy to share his advice, his attitude is not like a father who equips his daughter to start a new life.

"Thank you, sir. Now I feel confident retracing my life forward with mas Aga," said Aya steady.

"That has to be, son Aya. Each person is valuable and not all are able to live life as you experience."

Aya nodded, she clasped tightly onto her husband's fingers.

Now the net is watching the trees that were originally lined up on the right left of the river began to be rare and reduced, from afar already looks a human civilization.

There are many lanting houses on the river side, traditional houses of the Banjar tribe whose foundation is a floating raft. Not a raft made of bamboo as Agastya once made, but this is composed of three wooden blocks or large wooden tree trunks as the foundation and so as not to be washed away by water, but this is composed of three wooden blocks or wooden tree trunks as the foundation, the lanting house was tied to a wooden pole that stuck in the riverbed. Lanting house will always be in a condition vacillated due to waves from ships or other means of transportation that go back and forth in the river.

"Well, isn't it dizzy living in a house that wiggles every time there's a wave?" Said Aya lugu.

"If you're used to it, don't dong, baby. It is actually if examined in terms of environmental aspects, the lanting house provides advantages as a barrier to erosion and anticipate river waves.

"Hm, so yes but why can there be floating houses so, what because there is no land to make a house, mas?"

"Haha," Ruslan sir could not help but laugh at Aya's question. "So like this, son Aya, in the early days of the formation of the Banjar community, some still live nomadically on boats. Then they made a lanting house as a support for their trading activities. That you see for yourself, some houses also double small stalls. It was because of its benefits that were used as a place to live for the traders and their families who were in the river. Well, they have a livelihood of cultivating forest products and catching fish to meet their own needs is also sold. The exchange activity was carried out between boats and the group of boat people selling continued to grow and multiply until it eventually became a market. Ga, sometime Aya was invited to walk in the morning to see the floating market," pinta pak Ruslan at the end of his explanation.

"Ready, sir," said Agastya.

"Huh, floating market? So who's selling on the river?"

"Yes, both those who sell and those who buy, both use small boats that we call jukung. Selling can use money, can also be with barter sales," added Mr. Ruslan again.

"Hm, so it seems. Uh, the more crowded, are we in Banjar Masin city?" Tanya Aya was enthusiastic.

"Betul Aya and welcome to Banjar Masin," said Zain while reducing the speed of his speed boat engine and leading to the edge. The river transport slowly docked to a small pier.

"Well, we've arrived. Come on up," said Agastya who first stood up and jumped onto the wooden dock, then stretched out his hand to make it easier for Aya to move to the small port.
