The night became an unforgettable night in Melin's memory. Uncle Han came along with his friend to see papa. Apparently papa was already waiting for the arrival of his mother's sister. Melin guessed, her papa must want Han to find a way to solve his debt problem with Baba Ig Yan. It was seen from the look on his papa's face that looked happy to see Han's arrival.

“Why did you just come Han? Baba Ig Yan has just left here,” Papa said.

“I'm sorry I came late Koko,” says Han.” So how's your conversation going with Baba Ig Yan?”

Papa snorted annoyedly, seeing that he still held anger at the loan shark earlier.

“She didn't talk to me, but got angry while threatening.”

“What does it say?”

“I'm given until tomorrow night to pay off the debt. If not…"

Han looked at his sister-in-law questioningly. Both of his eyebrows were raised.

“If not why Ko?”

“I was told to leave this house. My own home.”

Han was speechless at the words of his sister-in-law. He knew his brother-in-law was in a helpless state. Poverty has made him indebted to loan sharks, and debt will cost him everything. Self-esteem, possessions might even be family. Baba Ig Yan is a very cruel loan shark. His nickname was king. His men numbered in the hundreds and were everywhere.

“Nearly half the population of Singkawang owes him. And he will do anything to make sure his money comes back with his flowers,” muttered papa. “What should I do Han? Only to you I hang help.”

Han nodded his head, then glanced at his friend at a glance.

“I understand Ko, which is why I brought my best friend here. I'm sure he can help you.”

Papa looked at the aasing man who had come with Han. Hm, his appearance is quite parlente. Her clothes look nice and expensive. Also the shoes he wears, obviously a famous brand that is quite expensive. A golden chain watch coiled around his wrist. And the guy looks pretty confident, albeit a little overrated.

“What's your name?”

“My name is Teddy, A Khiu.”

“What do you offer? I don't want to owe you any more.”

Teddy smiled looking at that blazing face.

“No A Khiu. I'm not a leech like Baba Ig Yan. I just meant to give you a way out for A Khiu.”

Papa was silent while still looking at Teddy's face enthusiastically.

“I'll even pay off all your debts without having to return.”

Papa's face immediately sparkled, seen his eyes that had dimmed back to glow.

“Justify what you said Teddy? You're really gonna help us?”

Teddy nodded his head firmly.

“What should I do as a thank you?”

Teddy took a breath. Then shift the seat closer in front of papa.

“A Khiu should also help me complete the task of my boss.”

“What? You got a job from your boss? Tell Teddy, I will definitely help you.”

“I have an old boss. And she lives with her granddaughter who is still a child. He asked me to find a nanny for his grandson,” Teddy stopped the story. “Heh, but until now I have not found it.”

Papa nodded his head.

“I understand. So, do you want me to be the nanny for your boss' granddaughter? I'm ready to do it.”

Teddy shook his head.

“Not A Khiu I meant, but your daughter. He is better suited to be the babysitter of the five-year-old.”

“What? You want to take my daughter to Jakarta to be a babysitter?” papa said a little shocked.

“I mean not a babysitter, but a playmate for my boss' grandson.”

Papa scratched his head.

“But this is impossible. Melin is still in school and she wants to continue her schooling.”

“Think about it calmly Koko. School also costs money. Are you able to send Melin to High School?” Han also contributed a voice.

Papa. That's right Han said.

“The working part is not too heavy, but the salary is big. And he lives in a wealthy family neighborhood in Jakarta. So, she'll be fine.”

“Your daughter will get a great salary and bonus from my boss,” Teddy said again.

Ah, Teddy's offer really shakes papa's stance. Especially then Teddythe young man pulled out a wad of money in front of papa.

“Have A Khiu, think about my offer first, and talk carefully with your wife,” he said as he grabbed papa's palm and put a wad of money on it. “What matters now, pay off your debt to Baba Ig Yan. It's twenty million. If you are lacking, you should contact Han.”

Papa widened his eyes, twenty million?

“This is even too much Teddy. My debt is not this much.”

“Then just take the rest to meet other needs. I sincerely gave it to you.”

Papa's hands look shaky. He didn't expect to meet someone as good as Teddy. He has not yet accepted his request.

“Te.thanks Teddy. You are our helper angel.”

Teddy smiled back. His face looks triumphant.

“Not to think about. Now I say goodbye first. I have a lot to do tonight. Think of my boss's offer. If you have a decision, let Han contact me.”

“Iya. Once again thanks.”

Then Teddy turned his body around and disappeared behind the door. Leaving Han, Papa, Mama and Melin inside the house. Papa looks so happy. Many times he threw praise at the man he had just met. Han also looked happy. He was worried that Kokonya would turn down Teddy's help. She knew her two sisters loved Melin very much.

“Then I also joined Ko,” Han said.

Papa nodded while smiling in relief. He took some of the hundreds of thousands he had just received, then gave it to his sister-in-law.

“This is money for you Han. Use for your needs,” said Papa.

Han accepted it with pleasure. Then he quickly stepped out of the house and disappeared into the darkness of the night. While Papa calls Mama and Melin to get out of the room. Mama's face looked grim and looked at Papa with an angry look.

“ Anyway I disagree that Melin was taken to Jakarta!” he said a little hard.

“What makes you object Ma? You've heard everything, haven't you?”

“Whatever it is, I will not let my daughter be taken away a man who is not yet clear and we do not know at all!”

“Teddy's his friend Han, your own sister!” papa's voice also started to rise a little. “You don't trust your own sister.”

“Of course I trust my own sister. But you know, Han often acts stupid. What was inside his brain was only money and money! Like Papa too, have the heart to part with your own daughter just because of money!”

Plaque!

Papa's swinging hand quickly slapped Mama's cheek. Maybe her words have touched her feelings. Melin was surprised too. For the first time in his life, he saw his father angry and beat his mother.
