MARANTI (FOOD OF THE DEAD)

EPISODE 33: BUDGET

At nine o'clock in the morning, Jamilah and his friends who mostly bear the title of widows also finished planting rice in the rice fields of Pak Dibyo, the village head of Sido Mekar who is famous for being rich and having several wives. Despite having several wives, the man only has one child named Dwi Purnomo who is commonly called Mas Dwi by the villagers of Sido Mekar. Mas Dwi is the son of Pak Dibyo's oldest wife who died when Mas Dwi was still in High School. At that time Mr. Dibyo was still not as rich now. Justeru his mother Dwi was what could be considered a good economy at that time. Bu Dibyo works as a kindergarten teacher in Pomegranate hamlet. Because it wants to advance the village of Sido Mekar, especially in the field of education, Bu Dibyo supported her husband running for the village head of Sido Mekar and fought with the old village chief, Pak Tejo, who still had family relations with Mr. Herman. At that time Mr. Herman and Ms. Dewi sempata crossed the support of the two candidates. Mr. Herman is more supportive of Mr. Tejo because there is still a sibling relationship, while Bu Dewi was more supportive of Mr. Tejo because at that time Bu Dewi as an active citizen in the field of PKK was very close to his relationship with Bu Dibyo who was very persistent in promoting her husband who promised to advance education in Sido Mekar village. Thanks to the collaboration of the two women, finally Mr. Dibyo managed to defeat Mr. Tejo with the acquisition of a very thin voice difference. Miss Dewi and Mr. Herman until excommunicated in the big family of Mr. herman at that time. It took a long time for Miss Dewi and Mr. Herman to get back together with Mr. Herman's extended family.

Unfortunately, moments after her husband's victory was announced, Ms. Dibyo breathed her last due to a heart attack. The doctor said that Ms. Dibyo was tired at the time, causing her heart problems. Mas Dwi who was busy celebrating his father's victory was shocked after hearing the news of his mother's death. The man lost his appetite for days at a time at the thought of his mother.

Unfortunately, after Mr. Dibyo was appointed village chief by the local Regent, the man forgot the land. He who had promised to use the village budget to advance education in the village of Sido Mekar had forgotten all about his promise. Looking at the pile of money that was on his desk after being disbursed from the bank by him along with the village treasurer, the man forgot himself. Armed with a wad of money to silence his men, he also used the village funds for his own interests, namely to make fun of it as he did in his youth before he finally repented after knowing Bu Dibyo. The village equipment that was initially honest during the lead by Mr. Tejo was also naughty to help the village head abuse the village budget for fun. As a result, the progress in the village of Sido Mekar dreamed by the late Bu Dibyo, only became a figment because of the greed of her husband who had forgotten the land.

Bu Dewi who saw the bad gelagat also has a mental burden because of seeing the condition of Kindergarten in the hamlet of Pomegranate that is not touched by development. In fact, he and the late Bu Dibyo had agreed to prioritize the construction of Kindergarten in the hamlet of Pomegranate whose building had almost collapsed. It was witnessed by Mr. Dibyo and the man also agreed to it. However, when Bu Dewi visited the village hall to meet Mr. Dibyo, several times the man was said to be out of town. The Goddess did not give up. He still came to the village hall to meet the number one person in the village of Sido Mekar. And on one occasion, Mr. Dibyo could not dodge anymore because Lady Goddess came when he just came out of his private office.

“Eh, Lady Goddess. How are you doing? What is the need, huh? Want to process the name of the land, huh?” greet Pak Dibyo stammering.

“Alhamdulillah .. after going back and forth here I finally got to meet Mr. Kades. Look, Sir. I want to remind Mr. Kades about the promise of Mr. Kades to the late Bu Dibyo and I used to be the one who said he wanted to build TK-TK in the village of Sido Mekar, especially the building has been badly damaged such as TK in the hamlet of Pomegranate where the deceased Bu Dibyo taught first,” replied Bu Dewi firmly.

“Ooooo ... I am very happy that Bu Dewi still cares about education in this village just like her mother Dwi used to. Oh yes, about the development of the Kindergarten without Miss Dewi reminded, we have every year submitted a budget to develop it. But, unfortunately our submission has not been acced by the supervisor. The reason, mostly because the program we submitted is still not aligned with the central program. Anyway all sorts, Miss Dewi, the reason. We who are below can only what. Indeed the money is in us, but in its use must be in accordance with the budget acceded by the supervisor. Sorry, Miss Goddess. Please pray for us also so that next year can be realized,” replied Mr. Dibyo diplomatically.

“But, the next village can ya, sir?” protest Bu Dewi.

“The village next door has already filed years in advance. If this village knows for itself, right, the village head before me what?” replied Pak dibyo while trying to discredit Pak Tejo who is still family husband Bu Dewi.

“Oke, Sir. I will wait for the realization. Hopefully Mr. Dibyo can be trusted with the title of Bu Dibyo's custody,” replied Bu Dewi while saying home.

Miss Dewi was really upset at that time because Mr. Dibyo was seen just playing with words and had forgotten his promises. Moreover, many rumors circulated that Mr. Dibyo was now happy with the night world.

“Ya Allah .. if Bu Dibyo is still alive ...,” grumbled Pak Herman's wife.

And sure enough, eagerly awaited until the end of the term of office of Mr. Dibyo, never come also the development assistance of TK-TK in the village of Sido Mekar. Not only that, the roads and irrigation channels in the village of Sido Mekar are also still minimal repair even the village is still a lot left behind compared to the surrounding villages. Once there is improvement of the quality road is far below the standard, not until one year the road has been damaged again. When the community complained, Mr. Dibyo and his cronies reasoned that it was not their responsibility but the responsibility of the CV that got the tender.

Not only that complained by the people of Sido Mekar village. People find it difficult to take care of important letters to the village office. Only those who want to pay are given priority. Even the earth and building taxes that were originally paid by residents routinely were also partially deflated by Pak Dibyo's cronies. The people have been really caught off guard by the leadership of the village head for a long time. However, in the second election again the people who are anti with Mr. Dibyo must be willing to bite the finger because Mr. Dibyo managed to defeat his competitors by using money politics and power politics. Some were detained by Mr. Dibyo and threatened to be issued when the selection of the village head has finished and also many other threats. Finally, the people who initially wanted change had to give up on losing to the arrogant man's tiles.

After this second victory, Mr. Dibyo increasingly blatantly squandered the village budget funds. He and his cronies could enjoy the illicit money. While other people cannot enjoy it. At the end of this leadership he had predicted Dwi Purnomo as a substitute for himself because he could not reapply to become the village head. Dwi Purnomo who was originally a good young man was finally long followed in the footsteps of his father as a bromocorah in the village of Sido Mekar.

"Yes. Why, Nul?" Jamila asked back.

"Do you like Mr Ratno?" ask Minul again.

"Huh? You're talking about that?" jamila Protest.

"I've already ngaku. You like Mr. Ratno, don't you?" cecar Minul's.

"I just borrowed it, really. Why are you sewot like that? Don't-Don't you like Mr. Ratno," replied Jamila.

"Here, where's the fast. Let me go back to Mr. Ratno!" minul.

"No! I'm going to go back to Mr. Ratno myself!" answer Jamila.

"That means I'm right. You like Mr. Ratno!" ledek Minul's.

"It's none of your business!" mila replied as she passed away leaving her dear friend.

Minul is irritated by Jamila's treatment of him.

"Review you, Mil! If until you seduce Mr. Ratno. Not your pites!" aspers Minul with his wrath.
