"Tante was scolded by Dad for his arisan and cooperative, can Auntie ask your husband for help, son?"
Coincidentally after Vefe heard his aunt crying while calling. Vefe directly pressed the loud speaker on his phone. So when Auntie said she wanted to ask Khan for help, she also heard it.
"What help, Auntie?" khan asked directly.
"Please reassure me that the investment Aunty pulled yesterday, I don't believe in Auntie!"
"Why doesn't Grandpa believe it?"
"Tante doesn't know either, Dad seems to be emotional, every word Aunty always wrong."
Their journey is only half way. If measured closer to Grandpa Raharjanto's house than Khan's house. So Khan decided it was better to stop by grandfather's house.
"We'll just go there, Auntie. It just so happens that our position is not far from Grandpa's house."
"Alhamdulillah, Auntie wait a minute!"
"Good ... Assalamualaikum."
"Greetings hallaikum."
The phone is turned off and put back in the bag. The destination of the trip now turns towards Grandpa Raharjanto's house. Vefe is still confused about what happens to socialite mothers and co-operatives.
Vefe remembered very well if the money Aunt Suprapti invested was only ten percent. It was withdrawn yesterday when it was advised by Khan. Vefe becomes confused as to what makes Grandpa Raharjanto angry at Aunt Suprapti.
"We're going to Grandpa's house, Satria!" khan's orders.
"Ready ...."
Only about three quarters of an hour the car had entered Grandpa Raharjanto's yard. Khan gasped in shock as he just entered the courtyard of the house. Not only Aunt Suprapti who welcomed their arrival.
There are more than ten women who are the same age as Aunt Suprapti. They stood waiting for the person in the car to get out. Their faces looked anxious and confused.
"How many people are there, on what would it be?" khan asked astonished.
"Maybe they're friends with socialite Aunt Prapti, Papi."
"Let's get down, Mami. Here's a fat Aaron Papi!"
Baby Aaron is still sleeping in Vefe's lap when the car has stopped perfectly in Grandpa Raharjanto's yard. Khan held his son after getting out of the car.
One by one and alternating friends of Aunt Suprapti greet Vefe. Whereas with Khan and Assistant Satria just draped a hand on the chest. Bowing and smiling kindly.
"What's up, Auntie?" ask Vefe.
"Because they too Aunt scolded Dad."
"Grandfather where, Auntie?" ask Khan.
"He's at home, Nak Khan's been waiting for Dad there."
"We're going there!"
Khan and Assistant Satria enter Grandpa Raharjanto's house. Vefe follows Aunt Suprapti sitting on the porch of the house along with a group of mothers. They immediately sat in a circular manner while putting on anxious faces.
"They want to hear the story about Jeng Wulan," Aunt Suprapti's pinta.
Vefe was puzzled as he looked one by one at the face of Aunt Suprapti's friend. Did not know Eno directly, just heard a lot of stories. Meeting first with Eno is the worst memory ever.
"Sorry Auntie all, Ve doesn't really know her either. Ve only often heard stories about him, from the stories it was mostly negative."
"It's okay, son. Just tell me we'll listen!" shouted one of the socialite mothers who sat at the front.
"Alright .. will Ve tell me."
Vefe tells the story of Eno while still working at PT KURNIA. The first meeting and its effect on the woman. Until events suggest Aunt Suprapti withdraws the investment.
"That's why yesterday I pulled out the investment bit by bit" Aunt Suprapti said after Vefe finished telling the story.
"You are, Jeng. Should have brought me!"
"What about the fate of my inves, my treasure is all on Jeng Wulan?"
"From the beginning I have told all mothers that I doubt Jeng Wulan, but the mothers reassured me that Jeng Wulan is trustworthy. Why blame me now?" ask Aunt Suprapti.
"So I have to how dong, Bu Prapti?"
"I don't want to lose my savings."
"What would my child eat if this was the way?"
There are many more comments from socialite mothers about Eno and their investments. Their worries were increasingly apparent after Vefe told me. There was also a silent one with no expression on his face.
"Wait a minute, Auntie. What exactly is going on?" ask Vefe.
"These friends are confused and afraid of the investment money being lost."
"During this how profit sharing works, does it work?"
"Currently, Son Ve. Only this month all the members have not got a share of the results" replied Aunt Suprapti.
"This month we have not yet confirmed the profit, the reason he said he was busy preparing for the wedding" replied the socialite Mother who sat beside Vefe.
"Say withdrawing his investment now dong, Auntie!" vefe command.
The voices grew rowdy as they answered simultaneously but with different opinions. Vefe became confused to answer which one, "Wait dong first, Auntie. Ve was confused, could one of them answer?"
"Deputy Jeng Wulan resigned three days ago, then he disappeared like in the swallow of the earth," replied Aunt Suprapti representing her friends.
"Is there no other staff besides that deputy?"
"Nothing" they answered compactly.
Vefe frowned thinking and pensively. Awampun people certainly know if arisan or cooperatives that are only associations will be very risky. Only rely on the trust of each person.
Moreover, the number of millions or even hundreds of millions. If the leader and admin are not trustworthy it can be not profit but loss and all investment without return. Many such cases have been handled by the authorities.
"Did Auntie contact Eno ... Eee wrong that Jeng Wulan?"
"It's been many times, but he's still busy answering."
"I'm sending WA messages to read only."
"His phone is off, I sent a telegram just tick one."
Everyone has a different answer. The reason is also different when contacting Eno. Vefe is increasingly convinced that Eno may have abused the trust of socialite mothers.
"It's not su'uzon yes, Auntie. chances are our suspicions are correct, but there's no other way but to wait until the wedding is over" Vefe suggested.
"That means our money and investments are gone?" ask Aunt Suprapti.
"According to Ve anyway, we're positive theking first, Auntie."
Vefe recalled Assistant Satria's story about invitations and round-trip and airfare for PT KURNIA employees. The ones in Jakarta and Sulawesi especially the staff and leaders get all. This means that it is likely that members of the socialite mothers and co-operatives also get it.
"Did Auntie all get invitations and plane tickets back and forth to Surabaya?" ask Vefe.
"Nothing?" answer them in unison.
"When is Jeng Wulan's wedding in Surabaya, son?"
"Who got the invitation and the plane ticket, son?"
Vefe did not answer all of their questions. He was just pensive and muttered inwardly, "Ve's cheating is getting bigger huh about Eno?"
