Jessika's Love Tone
Chapter 23. The generous Edy Darmawan
.
.
.
That day passed quickly, and today Leo has not met Jessika and her two best friends.
Not without reason, it happens because Leo must "mobile" to another plot, because the extent of chili land planted is different in age.
Some are newly planted as Jessi and her friends are working on, some are already as high as the waist of adults and some have entered the harvest.
The harvest period of chili occurs after approximately 5 months of planting, of course, with various treatments ranging from land processing, planting seeds, fertilizer and also spraying pests.
No wonder the workers who work there are also very many.
The harvest is also exported to abroad, this is also because of the shrewdness of Mr. Edy in seeing market opportunities.
"Coffee defender" said one of the foremen who had finished duty while sitting on the bench of the defender's shop Narti.
"What debt to pay?", asked defender Narti rather sensi on the foremen who were familiar with it.
"Why tumben asked so first", asked one with a laugh.
"Yes because let me write in a new book, because your old debt is all paid the same den Leo" said defender Narti
"What?", they answered in unison with faces looking at each other.
They wonder why the jury can know that they are hobby kasbon in the stall.
"If I owe you again I'm told to report, let your payment be deducted by the same jury", defender Narti said to the foreman who was nearby while hitting him with a rice barrel because he broke the record as the owner of the most kasbon.
"Wes pay ngeh ngono kok ijek ngut ae, lak bankrupt sui sui me", (Pay has been a lot of kok still owed, can go bankrupt for a long time I", replied defender Narti upset because all this time he had been fooled.
During this time they always complain of late salaries and so forth, so sometimes their cigarettes and coffee cultivate debt first😂, even though it is only their wits.
The Flashback
When Mr. Edy finished receiving the call in the back of the defender's shop he overheard a conversation between defender Narti and her husband.
The husband of defender Narti works as a builder in his village, it is common before leaving for work he always helps his wife to open her shop which is on the side of the road and is always a stopover post for rice foremen.
"When until pay, warange isine Podo entek durung iso belonjo. Pak Eko utange durung paid Lo pack",
(Sir when you get paid, the stall is already finished yet can fill again. Pak Eko and his friends also have not paid debts" said defender Narti on his husband Sentot sir)
"Pie karepe wong wong iki, lek carane koyok ngene warange wandewe iso. Wong wong kui po Ra Yo gede to buk?",
(what do these people want, if this is how we can get our stalls closed. What is their salary is not big?)
answer mr Sentot.
"Say on his payday late" replied defender Narti sewot.
Mr. Edy just bobbing his head to hear the obedient defender Narti, the conversation was recorded clearly in the memory of Mr. Edy, so he decided he would tell Leo to clean up this persolan.
Flashback Off

Both the foremen and the workers had all left the rice fields before dark, as usual Jessika and her friends came home together.
"Assalamualaikum wek" Jessika said as she entered her home.
"Walaikumsalam has returned home" replied Yah mbok.
"Iya Wek, emmm lek Soleh stopped by here?", asked Jessika again.
"Yes good thing this morning mak wek has not left, it's in the guitar nganterin here that Mak wek put in your room. Whose guitar is it, you buy?", replied yah while asking his grandson.
Finally Jessika recounted the origin of the guitar, because it was late afternoon she then rushed to bathe and perform the Ashar prayer one of the obligations that she had to fulfill as a Muslim.
The night after Isya, he grabbed the guitar in his bed and brought it to the front of the house and tried to pluck and check his tone.
Because there is one string whose tone is false, he then sets the "Tuner strings" until the tone becomes appropriate.
Jessika is quite happy, since graduating Elementary he diligently studied guitar at his lek pack house. He felt interested in the art of music even Jessika also had a melodious voice.
Until he became so proficient with the instrument, even every event in his school two always appear to fill the show with singing while playing the guitar.
Then he tried the guitar, his clever fingers pressing the "fret" part of the guitar to form a chord that he applied to the "finger board" using his left hand while the other hand plucked the strings and created a harmony of sounds so beautiful.
Then a song sung by him accompanied by a quote of guitar strings that he played.
*Where I'm going to look
I cry alone
My heart wants to meet
For you I sing
To my beloved father
I want to sing
Though tears on my cheeks
Daddy listen up
Even if only in a dream
Look at the day change
But not as beautiful as before
Come, I want to meet
For you, I sing
To my beloved father
I want to sing
Though tears on my cheeks
Daddy listen up
Only in dreams*
Jessika's voice is really melodious, she deliberately sang the song because of her longing for the father.
It did not feel like the clear crystal just escaped from the corner of Jessika's eye.
Accidentally a handsome man listened and was amazed by what he saw.
The Flashback
Pas Edy plans to hold a thanksgiving as well as gather the employees in the village.
During his visit in another village, he also did the same. It aims to establish a sense of family between workers and their bosses.
"Leo papa ask for help to take papa to the house mbok yah", pinta pak Edy to his son that .
"Now pa, what business is papa there? ", replied Leo while asking the father.
"You forgot that you're going to make a big thanks together in this house?", replied Mr. Edy.
"Yes no pa, but Leo means what is the relationship of thanksgiving with mbok Yah?", replied Leo who still did not understand the purpose of his father.
"So papa called Mr. Sis if in the village, they prefer to cook it together so it is more harmonious he said and happened to be residents here fit with the cuisine mbok Yah, pak sis also recommended him earlier", answer sir Edy explained.
It is true that Yah mbok is a person who is always used as a cook when in the village of P there are those who hold a celebration of both marriage and circumcision, they still apply the attitude of gotong royong and guyub rukun.
So it is not surprising that in the village there is one of the residents who have a celebration of certainly many left-right neighbors who are asked to come to help, the language of the answer is Rewang.
"So we mean to go to the house mbok want to ask for help?", replied Leo.
"True, he is a Leo old man so we have to respect the way we have to Sowan (come) to his place" said Mr. Edy to educate his son.
After asking some residents around finally Mr. Edy and Leo arrived at the front of the house mbok Yah.
Flashback Off
" It wasn't Jessika", Leo muttered inwardly that his gaze didn't turn on Jessika.
Again he was fascinated to see Jessika who looked beautiful that night, especially he also just found out that his beautiful employee was adept at playing the guitar.
Because seeing his son just pecked Mr. Edy patted his son's shoulder a little hard.
"Dreamy of you, let's go quickly in" said Mr. Edy to Leo's catapult.
They both use a motorbike to go to Yah's house, while Jessika who was carried away by the song to not hear the sound of Leo's motorbike.
"Assalamualaikum", said Mr. Edy to the girl who was still not aware of the arrival of the two of them.
Jessika who heard the voice turned to the source of the voice, she was a little surprised because the number one person in her work environment visited her home with her youngest son.
"Walaikumsalam, uh Mr Edy is there anything I can help sir?", replied Jessika respectfully to her Big Boss.
"Is this really the house?", replied Edy again asked.
"Be right sir, she is my grandmother", replied Jessika a little stuttering because of the nervous arrival of the important person.
"Is he there? I happen to have a need" replied Mr. Edy back.
"Oh yes sir let's go in sir, he is behind me call first", Jessika replied politely.
In his mind asked, what was it that made them come to his house this night.
After allowing Mr. Edy and Leo to sit down Jessika then call her grandmother who is in the kitchen to prepare the ingredients for sale tomorrow.
Leo who found out that Jessika was his granddaughter Yah became a smile of his own, it seems that the young man liked Jessika.
