Merapi Never Ingkar Janji 2 (The Return of the Sultan)

SS. 23. Heart Hero

"Waaahhh.enak ya Buk, if a lot of money. You want nothing to point at." Astrid said still with the joy of her heart.

"Yes dong, often like this. Turns out your Father's boss was good. Just this morning at the health benefits, this plus the monthly money." Bulek comments regardless of the condition of her husband.

"It's not just good Buk, the handsome lo. .. "his wishful thinking began to soar.

Paklek could only shake his head, seeing the behavior of his son and wife. They are really outrageous. If there is money only his eyes on ijo, but the turn of the husband is sick is not noticed at all.

"Sir, you're home first. There is someone guarding. Mother Astrid wants to go shopping first." Pamphitt.

Again, Paklek can only be silent without answering the permission of his wife.

'Oh Allah, it is not my heart to let Paklek be treated like this.'

"Paklek, it's time to take the medicine. Paklek eat first yes, let's arrange a bribe."

Mr. Arman just nodded his head limp, still watching from a distance, his son and wife were waltzing about to spend the money.

"Astag." Said Anita when she opened the food lid on the dining table.

There was nothing at the dinner table. Even white rice is not worth eating.

"Paklek wait a minute, arrange to buy lunch for Paklek." The answer was with a tear point.

"I'm sorry Paklek ya Nduk."

"Sstt...Paklek can't talk like that anymore. Wait a minute, I'll stay a minute."

However, not until Anita had time to step her feet out of the house, there was a man with his trademark clothes that were easily recognizable.

"Sorry Ma'am, Mr Arman's residence ?" Ask the brother online.

"Yes, right."

"This is a delivery, for Anita's mother."

Tata scrunched his forehead, as he felt he was not ordering anything.

"Sorry, who are you from ?"

"I don't understand Ma'am, I was just asked to deliver."

Anita opened the contents of the package delivered by the brother ojek online. There are two boxes of rice boxes, biscuits and fruits inside.

'When viewed from the rice box, this is from Pak Al's restaurant subscription. But, could it be that He sent.' Curious muttered.

Kling ...

[Have the package been received?] ✓

There was a message coming in from someone he respected very much in the office.

[So right my guess, this is a package from you.]✓ Reply anita.

[Once, just eat. I know you haven't eaten.]✓

Anita let the last message, just read it.

'Is he still spying on me, so he knows I need food right now.' Her thought.

'Ah come, the important thing is that this food is halal and does not contain any toxins.' Comment with a smile.

"Kok so fast Nduk ?" Ask Paklek when his favorite nephew is back.

"Yes, Tata had not been able to come out, but Mr. Al has sent food for us." Honest answer.

"It seems, Mr. Boss, you've been paying attention to Nduk."

"Yes, because Tata is also Paklek's employee."

"It's not so Nduk, which Paklek saw, Mr. Al has more attention to you."

"What this park is talking about, where maybe a big boss like Mr. Al, the same attention cleaning service as me." Joked them on the sidelines of his lunch.

"Nothing is impossible if God wills, it will be easy for Him. Moreover, Paklek's nephew is not only good, smart, but also beautiful inside out." Praise Mr. Arman.

Anita's face reddened with embarrassment, but the praise had to be on her heels, considering who she was and who the person they were talking about was.

Actually after lunch and preparing medicine for Pakleknya, Anita will leave to come home. But he did not have the heart to leave his own Paklek.

"Paklek, why is Paklek silent. Why didn't Paklek prevent Bulek from leaving ? Even Bulek left without leaving any food on the table. What happens if Tata isn't here ?" Said Anita who was peeling the fruit for her Pakleknya.

"Maybe your Bulek would rather see Paklek sick. Because he'll enjoy the money. Just let Nduk, let them enjoy what they want." Answer with empty eyes.

Just this time Tata saw the resigned attitude of his Pakleknya.

"Try to get a red box on top of that cupboard."

"This is Paklek ?"

"Yes, deliberately Paklek keep in the most corner pile, because Paklek is afraid if stored in a more decent place, even caught with Bulekmu."

Anita gave the red box that Paklek asked for after he managed to get.

"Before his last breath, your father gave this to Paklek. He asked Paklek to hand this over to you when you were growing up."

Slowly, Anita starts to open the red box she received from her Uncle. Inside the red box is a piece of shabby paper and an oval box filled with jewelry.

The writing, it is not clear he knows. But the signature listed in the bottom right corner is clearly the signature of his late father.

"How is Nduk ? Have you seen what it is ?"

"Packlek's Feature."

"That's yours Nduk, the legacy of your parents."

"God willing." Comments lirih.

"Hurry to save, before your Bulek returns. Don't let your Bulek know. Because she took all the jewelry your mother wore before she died."

Anita who understood the nature of her Bulek, immediately put the jewelry box into her bag. And he tidied the red box back to where it was.

Until the magrib, Bulek Rukmini and Astrid just returned. And that's when Anita came home from her Uncle's house.

"It's almost evening Nduk, shouldn't you just stay over ?" Pinta Paklek's.

"Maturswun Paklek, next time Mawon Tata stopped by again."

Unlike Bulek and his cousin who does not like to mince words.

***

Tata walked alone in the middle of the speck of rain water after taking shelter for a while when Magrib arrived. He stepped half-running towards an already no-man shophouse.

Drizzle tonight, enough to make the air cool and feathers goosebumps.

"Tata !" Call someone from the ground.

The hand she gave after confirming who the owner of the voice greeted her.

Andry. Although the surrounding area of the shop was not so bright, but he was very familiar with the posture of Anita who was walking alone.

"Wait, I'll be there !" Shouts from sebrang.

"Don't work, it's still drizzling." The reply.

"Gakpapa, wait there. Don't go anywhere !" Shouts again.

Takes enough time to get closer to where Tata is sheltering. Because he had to turn around first.

"Let's go up !" Take a man with a red Ninja sport bike that is not at all familiar with Tata.

Fear made him take a few steps back.

"So soon, before the rain gets heavier." His speech was smooth as he opened his helmet.

"Sir Al ?"

Again this handsome man becomes a hero when he needs.

"Wear this ?" Said Al handing over a helmet.

"Yes, but_"

"Do I need to raise it ?"

"I, yes."

With a little doubt, Anita climbed into Al's bike bonnet, still thinking about what if Andri came, but he's gone.

And sure enough, Andri came when Al and Tata started walking.

"Ssiiittttt.who else is that man." Angry umbatnya.

'Was he the same man at the fruit shop this afternoon ?' comment on his heart side.

Twice Andri has lost a landslide and must go home empty-hearted.
