Chapter 1

“Pak, request pocket money.” Riri puts his hand on Dayan.

“Begging Mom, money dad runs out,” said Dayan while wearing socks.

“Bu, said Father, I ask for pocket money the same Mother because the money you spent.” Riri went into the second room of her parents, approaching Bestari who was dressing up in front of the dressing table.

“Kok so all ask for money the same me,” muttered Bestari while sweeping powder on the face. “Built mother's wallet in a bag,”His word to the eldest daughter.

which “Tas, Bu?’ riri asked in front of the mother's bag.

“Which is brown,” replied Bestari.

Riri immediately unzipped the mentioned bag. He was rummaging through the contents looking for Bestari's wallet. After meeting her, he gave it to his mother. “This, Bu.”

Bestari received a wallet from Riri. He opened it and handed a fifty thousand note to his eldest daughter. “Nih make a week.”

“Well, just a week anyway, Mom. Yes less. This makes three days usually,” protest Riri.

Bestari again took another piece of money with the same nominal. “This make a week, the rest saved,” the message.

“Thank you, Mother.” Riri received the money with a beaming face. He kissed the woman who had given birth to him. “Mother is the best,” compliments.

Bestari gave a small laugh hearing Riri's praise. A habit that is always done if he gets something he wants. “High breakfast, Ri?”

“Already, Mom. It also wants to leave.”

“Ayo departing, Ri,” call Dayan from the garage.

“Iya, Sir,” says Riri. “Tuh has been called Father. I went to school first, Mom,” said goodbye while kissing the back of Bestari's hand.

“Ya, study diligently in school.”

“Iya, Mom. Assalamu’alaikum .”

“Wa’alaikumussalam.”

“Bu, I leave first,” say goodbye Dayan from the garage.

“Yes, Sir. Be careful on the road,” says Bestari from inside the room.

Dayan pulled out the motor from the garage, Riri followed him from behind. After the motor is heated, they leave the house. Dayan every morning did take Riri to school because his office was in line with his eldest daughter's school.

“Bu, request money.” Replace Ratna who raised a hand.

“Not yesterday have I loved you?” Bestari frowned.

“I ‘kan have started tutoring now, Mom. I didn't buy maem. Home ‘kan noon. So the money to buy maem.” Ratna explained the reason.

Bestari sighed. “Starting next week just bring supplies so that it is more economical,” he said while opening the wallet and issuing another piece of fifty thousand bills. “Mother make four days.” He handed the money to the youngest princess.

“Still, Dear Mother.” Ratna immediately hugged and kissed the mother's cheek.

“Iya, have released. You've maem yet?”

“Already, Mom. Stay wear socks with shoes.”

“Mother is done too. We are leaving soon.”

“Ready, Bu.” Ratna headed to the shoe rack, picked up the shoes and put on the socks.

Bestari picked up the shoes on the shelf, then put them on. Wearing a jacket and helmet and then taking out his motor matic. “Come to leave, Na,” take him to the youngest.

“Iya, Mum.” Ratna put on a helmet and followed her mother out of the garage. Bestari locked the new garage and then turned on the vehicle. After Ratna hugged at the back, Bestari mounted her iron horse. Every morning Bestari drove the youngest to school because it was in line with his office.

“Bu, I was offered business with my acquaintances,” Dayan said as they gathered in the family room after dinner together.

“What business, Sir?” ask Bestari while folding clothes that are dry.

“Investment that, Mom. For example, later we invest one million, we can share the results of two hundred thousand every month,” Dayan replied.

Bestari. “Investment what it is, Sir. How great to get it. Don't just cheat it.”

“This is real, Mom. Many of my friends have joined and it is true to get money every month. It's good ‘kan Bu if we invest ten million later per month we can two million,” Dayan explained.

“Mbok investment is clear, sir. Make a business what. Do not be easily tempted by offers that are not obviously rich,” says Bestari.

“This is clear, Mom. My friends have had results. I am the only one who is late,” said Dayan.

“This father has been repeatedly fooled by people who still believe if anyone wants business. Rather than making the investment unclear, the money is deposited only, sir. That is more clear, or if not saved for business capital. Do you have money to invest in that?” Bestari looked at her husband.

“Yes, don't have any, Mom. My salary ‘kan has also been cut to pay debt installments. It's up for my transport every day with Riri's pocket money,” I Dayan.

“Lah, you just don't have money to join the investment. What the hell do you do, sir?”

“Let our lives taste better, Mom. You can pay off debt in the bank. We can open a business so there is no need to work with people anymore,” Dayan said.

“I basically do not agree if you want an investment is not clear,” stressed Bestari.

“Yes, the father did not easily trust the same people just like that. If you are fooled again, how? You are more trusting of others than your own family.” Riri who had been listening to the conversation of his parents also spoke.

Since the girl was still in elementary school, Dayan was often tempted by the business offered by her acquaintances. However, out of all the businesses that the man followed, not a single one produced. He is often fooled by nominal money that is not small. Therefore Riri ventured to issue his opinion based on what had happened.

Although Riri was still fifteen years old, but her thoughts were mature. Maybe because he is the firstborn and often hangs out with more mature people so make him think more ahead. Not just thinking about his own pleasure.

“You are always against me if I want to go forward,” Dayan protest.

“How forward, Sir? In fact, all this time Mr. joined the business instead of getting more advanced and can profit even always butts. Remember not about gold investment. How many millions of dollars went in there? Did you get no money? No ‘kan?” Bestari brings together all the businesses and investments that Dayan has ever followed.

“That's ‘kan first. This one obviously produces, ma'am. My friends have been able to share the results. Anyway I want to come. Point!” break up Dayan without heeding the input of his wife and child.

“It is up if you still want to come. I do not want to spend a penny,” stressed Bestari.

“I want to borrow from Bu Heni, I can ‘kan help say it,” persuade Dayan.

“Tell yourself, I don't want to. The goal is also not clear,” refused Bestari.

“It is not clear how. This is obviously for investment, Bu.”

“Yes the investment is unclear. Anyway I don't want to say the same to Ms. Heni. Point!” resolutely Bestari again.

Dayan took a long breath. It was hard to convince his wife this time. Indeed he is often fooled various businesses, but there is no harm ‘kan try new business again. The man racked his brain on how to earn money fast.

“By can't, this house wants me to sell.”
