Jayakusuma Tirta

guests are not invited

"Please sit Tirta mas, Bayu mas and Adnan mas," the Latifah photographer invited them to sit down.

"Thank you, because of you, our truck can be maintained and not lost. Rarely are there young people like you who care about the events around him," praised the juragan Latifah.

"Ah usual boss, other people will do what we do if faced with the same thing," said Adnan humbled.

"Mas, don't call me Juragan ah, the effect is not good and less familiar, call me Mbak or my name is directly Latifah".

"Actually Mas, the incident of the stolen truck is not only this time, some time before I had lost 5 trucks within a month," Latifah told about the disappearance of the trucks before.

"These trucks are the result of the hard work of my late husband Mas. We used to have Seventeen trucks for the freight business, but after my husband died, there were problems coming, and lastly, five trucks were stolen almost simultaneously!"

"Have you reported this incident to the authorities?" ask Tirta.

"It's a problem, but there's no progress yet" Latifah replied.

"Three days ago, three trucks disappeared from the garage at once" Latifah said.

"And before that two trucks in the back of people when sending goods, so the loss was very large because I also had to replace the lost goods." Latifah told her sad story.

"Now there are many parties who cancel renting trucks" he continued. Latifah paused for a moment to say to Mr. Darman

"Oh yes, Mr. Darman, if you are tired of going home first." Latifah saw Mr. Darman who seemed to yawn several times.

"But the boss, they want me to stay at my house!" answer mr. Darman.

"Let them stay here sir, I still want to talk to them a lot" Latifah replied.

"Well, then the boss," Mr. Darman immediately said goodbye and left them because he was tired.

"Zahra, please make coffee for our guests!" exclaim Latifah told to make coffee for these guests.

Moments later a hijab girl came out with a tray containing three cups of coffee that looked still hot.

"Include Mas, this is my sister Zahra's name. Right now I believe helping to manage our Batik factory." Latifah introduced her sister.

Zahra is a sweet girl with a soft and graceful hijab with a sharp nose, like a girl of Arab descent.

"Zahra told Mbok Jum to buy dinner for our guests!" latifah said to her sister.

"What are you going to eat" Latifah offered the food she would buy.

"Ahh don't bother Ma'am," Tirta replied in pleasantries, even though he was already starving.

The starving wood immediately exclaimed.

"Ah you Ta, my stomach is already rumbling tau ! don't refuse this dinner.!"

Latifah and Zahra smiled at Bayu's frank talk, let alone seeing Bayu's cheerful and funny face.

"I pesen sate kambang Mbak," he exclaimed.

"What are you, Mas Tirta, Mas Adnan? ask Latifah.

"Terserah Mbak Latifah only," replied Tirta and Adnan compact.

"Zahra told Mbok Jum to buy goat satay, rice padang and rice megono ya."

"Yes Ma'am" replied Zahra who immediately went inside.

While waiting for dinner orders, Latifah began to continue her story.

"My late husband worked hard to get all this, from the beginning we were married we were given capital from our parents, and we developed with hard work. I developed Batik and my late husband did business on the expedition." Latifah stayed for a moment, then continued her story.

"At first our truck was only one, then it could continue to grow until it is now. And a few months ago exactly six months ago, my husband had an accident when he replaced one of his drivers who could not leave! Because there was an appointment, so my husband took his place. But it was unexpected that it was the day my husband was called the Gusti of God forever." Latifah said sadly.

"Since my husband's departure, my husband's cousin has always approached me to get married because my cousin was after me. Name's Hendra!"

"I've turned it down many times but the longer he gets reckless, the more times he sneaks in here trying to be indecent to me, but I always manage to dodge."

"Did Latifah not suspect that all this series of events was your cousin Mbak?" ask Tirta.

"Actually I thought so too, Mum, but I have no proof. Some of the deceased's cousins are used to being rude and afraid of people. He has many people who often do arbitrary in this Wiradesa area, also in Pekalongan City. No one dared to oppose them mas, his victims were afraid to report it to the authorities, for being threatened and scared." Latifah explained the behavior of her cousin's sister.

After a while Zahra came to tell him that dinner was ready.

The night grew late when they finished the night tomb with Latifah and Zahra.

Tonight they sleep in Latifah's room.

The three of them provided special rooms for guests, located to the right of the main house.

Although there are three bedrooms, but they agreed to use one bedroom only the largest in size compared to the other two rooms.

Tirta , Bayu and Adnan have been used to sleeping together while in Padepokan.

Bayu immediately dropped himself on a soft mattress and immediately fell asleep soundly marked with a loud snoring sound, while Adnan was still half-asleep while looking up at the roof of the room, his eyes glared far away and he was thinking about what.

Tirta was still busy answering the many Whatshaps that went into her phone.

From Mother, from Iza of Dinda and others. They generally ask about their journey.

Tirta immediately answered one by one, until his eyes were too heavy still his fingers moved typing.

The atmosphere of the night was silent, the housekeeper also seemed to have fallen asleep as well.

Adnan was still half-asleep.

He was not immediately able to close his eyes, let alone drinking coffee from Latifah.

The more night his eyes are not sleepy even the brighter.

Then he got out of the bed and walked out of the room to the yard.

He saw the moon that glowed dimly because it was a little cloudy. He walked towards the main gate which was covered by a sizable sliding fence.

When he got close to the main gate, he found the gate open slightly.

"Ah must be this housekeeper just came out, maybe looking for cigarettes or coffee," he thought.

Suddenly there was some black shadow coming out from the direction of the truck garage and walking quickly towards him.

Adnan is not prejudiced, he thinks it is his workers Latifah said.

When the shadow of those people approached, it appeared that they were carrying quite a long machete.

Adnan was surprised.It seems they are not Latifah's employees, it seems they mean evil!

As it neared, one of the men immediately exclaimed;

"Heh you come with us into his exclamation! Adnan immediately looked at them and said:

"Who are you guys ? and what is your makasud?"

"Here you go, come with us! yell one of them.

It seemed that one of the three people was getting impatient with the conversation.

One of them immediately sent a blow his bare hands intended to hit Adnan, but managed to avoid by Adnan easily.

This provoked the anger of the bad guys. Immediately without further ado one of them swung his machete towards Adnan.

Adnan was surprised to see this machete swing, he immediately jumped back to avoid it. The man immediately hunted him.

This time Adnan really quite panicked, actually he had never really fought with real thugs or criminals, let alone holding a real weapon that was without hesitation and hesitated to injure and even kill his opponent.

When he caught two car thieves, the thief was just an ordinary thief who was not equipped with fighting skills and without weapons.

This time Adnan fought with jumping jumps because he avoided the sabetage of three of his opponents.

Adnan's science is not so mature and fused with himself, he is still a step below the baby.

With such leaping battles it was difficult for him to immediately subdue his opponents, his three opponents fought violently and shouted out loud screams, leaving anyone who heard him terrified.

because of those screams Tirta and Bayu immediately ran out looking for the source of the commotion.

Elsewhere, inside the large main house, the, some people who seem to be a horde with three people who fight with Adnan gather all the people in the house into one with the threat of machetes at the hands of a gang of criminals.

In total there are seven main residents, Latifah, her sister Zahra, her daughter Latifah who is still a toddler, Mbok Jum and her husband and two house assistants.

They were very frightened when the machetes were pointed at them, even Mbok Jum to the point of being so scared.

Latifah was busy calming her baby daughter who was crying from fear.

When the leader of this mob saw out in his heart his comrades were still fighting fiercely against a young man.

He immediately invited his other comrades to come out to help the fight in the courtyard.

By leaving just one person in the house to keep the occupants of the house that has been collected into one in the living room.
