GHOST VILLAGE

THE EXTRA PART 4

In addition to trembling, Parto's face also flushed instantly after reading the contents of the writing on the paper. While Mr. Anton smiled faintly at the reaction of my friend.

"I-i-this means what, sir?" asked Parto stammeringly.

"You read the letter, right?" Anton asked back.

"I-i-iya, but what does this mean, sir?" Parto looks confused.

"Some time ago I met the principal of his school Imran. I happen to know him well. I told the headmaster about your greatness. One of them is your positive record in the police because it has helped the police uncover a murder case in this hamlet. The principal is interested in you, To. Then I also told you that you cannot continue your education because of economic limitations. The principal wants to give you a free education scholarship, To. You can continue school with Imran without having to pay a dime, To," replied Mr. Anton with flowers.

Another case with Mr. Anton, Parto's face looked gloomy to hear the happy news. Then Parto made a sound.

"But, sir" he said.

"You don't need to be confused with pocket money. I'll give you an allowance once a week" Mr. Anton said.

Parto bowed politely. He then raised his face and looked into Mr. Anton's eyes. At the same time came Echa and Echi. The two Toddlers sat on Parto's lap.

"Before I want to say a thousand thanks to you for thinking about me and have taken the trouble to find a student duty for my education, but I apologize Sir. I can't take it" Parto said very politely.

"Why are you, To? This is an opportunity for you to be able to be a successful person and lift the dignity and dignity of your family" said Mr. Anton in a disappointed tone.

"Sir, I cannot leave my two nephews who are small. Nobody accompanies them when I go to school, sir," replied Parto as she stroked the heads of the two Toddlers. At that moment the tears began to fall from my friend's eyelids.

"Om To cry? Mr. Bad cop Om To, huh?" cetus Echa suddenly.

"No, Cha, the police are good. Om To is okay," replied Parto while stroking Echa's head.

Mr. Anton was stunned for a moment. Then he said.

"Who are these two kids, To? Where are his parents?" ask Mr. Anton.

"He's my cousin's son, sir. His mother left him here because he had to work in the city. While his father did not care about the situation of the two of them," replied Parto.

"Is there no other way for these two children to stay there and you can still go to school?" ask Mr. Anton.

"It doesn't seem to exist, sir. The neighbors here all have their own busy lives. Even his mother Imran is now also working in tobacco warehouses because of the uncertain economic conditions in the country. My mother is also now not so fit. The only hope for us to still be able to eat is the rice fields managed by me and my father. You are also not as healthy as you used to be, sir," replied Parto parse the problems in her family.

"It's hard too, huh To? I am also confused about how to help you. I think by getting this student duty, you will be able to continue going to school. It turns out that the conditions in your family are not possible" said Mr. Anton.

"I'm sorry, sir? Mr. Anton has gone to great lengths to get a student fee for me, but I can't accept it" Parto replied.

Mr. Anton shakes his head.

"Yes, To. Its alright. Actually I am very disappointed, but how else, your condition is not possible. What if I asked your father and mother first? Who knows if they have a solution?" ask Mr. Anton.

"Don't, Sir!!!" pekik Parto's.

"Loh, why To?" asked Mr. Anton was shocked to get a refusal from Parto to ask the opinion of his parents.

"Because if you and mom hear this, they'll both definitely force me to accept the student's duty offer, sir!" answer Parto.

"Well, doesn't that mean good news to you, To?" ask Mr. Anton.

"No, Sir. They will force themselves. I know their nature. They don't want to disappoint me. But as a result, their health condition will decrease afterwards. I don't want that to happen, sir," replied Parto.

Mr. Anton was flabbergasted by my friend's reply.

"I apologize, sir, for disappointing Mr. Anton" replied Parto.

"No, To. Conditions that don't allow you to go to school anymore" replied Mr. Anton.

"I'm sorry, sir," Parto cried.

"That's it, To. You just focus on your farm first. I'll buy you books on agricultural cultivation. Later, if you are fifteen years old, I will register you for the Pursuit of Package B" said Mr. Anton.

"That's the equivalent of Junior High, huh?" ask Parto.

"Yes. But you don't have to go to school like Imran. Maybe only a few months and you can study in your own house Most fitting exam time you have to come to his place," replied Mr. Anton.

"It looks like Pursue Package B is a better fit for me, sir!" parto replied starting to shine.

"Yes, that's it. But, if you already get a Package B diploma and conditions allow, you should continue in ordinary High School huh?" ask Mr. Anton.

"Yes, Sir. I hope it's better than it is now. Aamiiin," replied Parto.

"Yes, then I want to say goodbye first, To, Im," said Mr. Anton while standing from his seat.

"Where are you going? Not yet made to drink. Did you miss the hot coffee made by both of us? Wait for a moment!" rayu Parto's.

"Sorry, Im. I have to get to the office as soon as possible because I have to report on the progress of a case" Mr. Anton replied.

"Big case, huh, sir? Until Mr Anton can't wait?" many interject.

"Old case, Im. The mysterious case of the disappearance of an old woman who had disappeared dozens of years ago" replied Mr. Anton.

"A woman is missing?" my peek.

"Yes, Im. The old woman was the second wife of a landlord. The old woman disappeared from her home mysteriously a dozen years ago. No one knew where the old woman had gone until now. Well, a few days ago there was one of his family members who was looking for me at the office, but didn't manage to meet with me because I was fitting out of town. Well, a few days later, the man died as a victim of a robbery," said Mr. Anton.

"Oh my God!" scream at us both.

"Yes already, even I became a working story to you guys. I say goodbye first, assalamualaikum," said Mr. Anton.

"Waalaikumsalam," answered the two of us.

We released Mr. Anton's return after the first salim.

"Stay spirit yes, To!" I said while patting my best friend's shoulder.

"Yes, Im. Thank you,"
