Man Seeker Cuan

The Part 53

After driving for over an hour, they finally reached the city. They then parked their motorbike in front of one of the pawn shops for valuables.

There they saw people waiting in line. Some stood up and some sat down.

In her heart she said, "It turns out that I'm not the only one who is in trouble and in debt. These people are like that too. Even those wearing civilian uniforms stood in line. Wanted to pawn the ring maybe he."

He saw the woman was twirling a golden ring that coiled on her ring finger as if it was not willing to be pawned.

"His wedding ring maybe it's yeah? It was like a heavy time being plucked from his fingers. My wedding ring has been on sale for a long time. But I've never been that heavy selling it. You see, it can be bought again. It's so hard!" He said again in his heart, watching the woman play the ring on his finger.

Shortly after some of the queues passed, a woman came along with a child in her cradle.

Encouraged by curiosity, the woman approached him and asked, "You want to pawn also mom?"

"Ah, not ma'am. I'd like to ask for the rest of my money."

"Some money? Meanin?" Confused ask.

"So yesterday I pawned my wedding ring for the cost of my son's delivery. Indeed, we already had savings, but just in case, who knew there was a sudden cost, I was forced to sell wedding rings. I think I can make it up to you. But since our economy is quite difficult, I can't pay the interest anymore let alone make up for it. So I had to let go of the ring. So I came here for the rest of the money."

"Oh, that's it... Must have lost so much, yeah."

"Yes. When I bought it, the price of gold was very expensive. Now the price of gold is down. But... Well... How else, there is no other solution. Hopefully there will be a fortune to be able to buy again later. If you want to pawn things too?"

"Oh, no. I want to redeem my stuff."

"Oh, that's it." Answer's short.

He returned to his seat and waited for his turn.

After the woman in the civil service uniform had finished the transaction, it was her turn to arrive and be called.

"Mother Rosdiana." Call that officer.

"Well, ma'am."He replied as he approached the employee's desk."

"Mother, will you pay the interest or will you redeem the goods?"

"You'll redeem the ma'am."

"Oh, I'll count the totals for a minute." He looked at his computer screen and started working.

About ten minutes later, the officer called him again and called out the amount he had to pay.

"Number seven million five hundred bu." He said while handing over a receipt to the woman.

The woman was shocked to hear that because she did not expect that much.

The officer asked for the receipt and explained the details of the cost.

But even though it has been explained, he still has a heavy heart to accept it but still pay it.

He then asked for the money from his son and gave it to the officer.

The officer immediately counted the money with a calculating machine and then gave the stamp of keel on the receipt.

Then he went to the storage and took out a gold bracelet. It was then given to the woman along with her receipt.

"This is the bracelet. Please check back." Said the officer.

The woman looked at him, looked at him in detail and said, "Udah is right."

"Yes, thank you ma'am." Said the officer.

"Well, thank you." He answered and left the place.

The woman and her son then went to the market, which was about a fifteen-minute walk away. They leave their motorcycles to the security on duty there.

While walking, he poured out his feelings for his son who was walking beside him. "Thank God I could make up for that bracelet. The bracelet is the legacy of my mother, your grandmother. Thank you so much for my son Indra who sent money to redeem the bracelet. Without him, we'd be constantly paying interest while our economy is tough."

"Yes. Thankfully." Answer the child briefly.

"Jaga well the bracelet is well. Don't rob people from your bag. Hold your bag tight."

"Yes mak. Don'worry. I kept the bracelet in the deepest pocket. As deep as the neighbor's well."

"mmm... No joking, he replied."

In the market, they buy some things that have long been coveted.

They deliberately went to a place where used clothes were sold.

They immediately sat down and picked out the clothes that were spread on the mat. Dismantle and tear it apart from the most basic to the top of the pile of clothes.

One by one he widened and looked at for a moment to imagine whether it was suitable for him or not.

They also bought quite a lot of pants and clothes that were sold very cheaply.

After that they go to the place of sale of shoes and choose the right one at the same time cheap. They bought two pairs each.

Then because the day began to afternoon, and the sky seemed cloudy, they decided to go home even though they were not fully satisfied with shopping.

They only bought half a kilo of fish to cook for the night.
