I thought, they were lost when they made a plan to come to Indonesia and made a decision to come to my village. I felt, they were disappointed when come and stay in my guest house. They were like confused. What could I do here? I was confused, too, what I would show to them here is. Finally, I made a decision that I will show, how, me and my son lives here. How do our genuine lives here? Yes, we found the activities finally.

With brought a hesitate feeling, I explained one by one how our village is in before. In the past, our village was a tourism village destination. A lot of Chinese local tourists and local citizen came to my village just for praying in the temple or just traveled and looked around because it was very crowded at that time. And, now become a kampung, just ordinary kampung. But, sometime become a tourism village again, it depend to the big days like, new year or Eid day "Muslim big day."

I thought hard, how making them happy when they were staying in my guest house. I suggested to my son that you had to cook some of Indonesian cuisine and invite them, he or she, to join when you are cooking. Well, finally, my son decided to cook Indonesian curry and lumpia for five day's dishes. I said to them that we usually cook a lot at once to live for five days or one week. And for another day, my son would cook Chicken claws, cooked with sweet soy sauce. But unfortunately, they rushed to leave, went to another place before my son cooked it. They stayed only four days of their planned that was 12 days.

In four days, they filled the days with cooking, one of them name is Ingrid gave a donation to me by buying a cement to plastering the floor on upstairs and gave a gift the seed of flowers. And the last, we went for a walk and sightseeing some near village of my property. My son and I have made a video memory about them as memento for us. See you again, guys.

The wall roof which leak due to seepage has resolved.

I was happy when I had to repair the other roof and wall which leak because of seepage of the heavy rain on the front at my guest house. It before, I have done fixing the bathroom roof area which collapsed and made a new fireplace to boil hot water. And then, I continued working at the farm on a next day. Meanwhile, I also fixed a roof of the wall at the reception room part which leak because of seepage and I could fix it. When the rain falls, the roof of the wall didn't leak again. I succeed fixing it from the leak due to of water seepage in many years. I think to about 12 years the leak was happening before my father passed away. Today, I succeed again and I thought it is worth if I felt grateful because I could repair anything although I do not have an experience in that field. In many years that has happened. The leak that be said couldn't be repaired again, today, I could fix it and now is not leaking again.

Finally the fireplace to cook hot water for bathing can be used again.

On the first day, when the roofs of the bathrooms collapsed, I had time thinking that, oh my goddess, how can I serve my guest if the fireplace to boil hot water is broken? I cannot repairing that! I do not able and do not have an experience to build a building using cement. I almost gave up.

Okay, because I had to repair the roof first, I did not think again how to repair the fireplace, I thought I would think later after I have finished repairing the roof. For three days I tried and struggled to build again the roof as I could and yeah,, I did it..! The Hut and roof have stood firmly on the ground at above the fireplace that was broken. Hoo hoo..., I thought again, I will have a new challenge tomorrow, build again the fireplace which I don't know how.

Relax.., relax.., I said to myself, I definitely can if I do it slowly and one by one. I took my rest, bathed, and did small celebrate when dinner with my son to celebrate our success, that is building a hut and its roofs.

Yes.., the fourth day has come, it's the time for me and my son to repair the fireplace to cook the hot water for bathing. Okay.., I didn't think again, I just did it naturally. Because my son had to clean the bathrooms first, I worked to rebuild the fireplace alone, without a help from my son. Ha ha ha.., and LOL a lot, in the middle of my work, my son warned me that my work was wronged. Yes, he right, after I thought twice and so on, I aware that it would be collapsed again if I continue my work. My son stop cleaning the bathrooms and made a decision to help me, finally. Yeah.., My son helped me rebuild the fireplace till the end.

We repeated again, what I worked in advance and did it one by one like what said by my son was. Great, finally I could think clearly how to continue the work in the right manner although might not be perfect. I struggled to cement it carefully. Slowly by slowly I did it and with a small smile of course. And yeah.., We did it and succeed rebuilt the fireplace to cook the hot water for bathing. Thank you God, thank you so much.

Our loyal and bona fide guests from Jakarta will be coming today, so we had to hurry up to finish our work can be finished today. We make sure that the floor-yard outside of the bathrooms be clean.

We have 9 bathrooms outdoor to serve the guests whose stay one night or long stay at our guest house. We take the water directly from a spring of ours that was created by my father in the past in 1978. It was me at 4 years old.

We very excited for working until finish. Cleaning the floor and bathroom wall and bathroom tub. So amazing! Because, although our guest house is a simple guest house, not modern, the old guest house, but, the environment is very beautiful for me. The bathrooms area are already clean and the water in the bathtub so very clean, like no the water. I and my son are very satisfy with our work today and we say thanks so much to our God, the Universe, Holy spirit, and Deities. They always protect us and guide us. Have a good day.
