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

SS. 45. Debt Accounts

Still like those days ago, Tata prepared breakfast before Al left for the office.

This afternoon Mother and Watik will return home, Tata must clean the house to look clean and tidy. Only then will he wait for Al, to go to Paklek's house.

"Remember, don't leave before I get home." He said after finishing his breakfast.

"Yes sir."

"Yes, Papa went to work first, son." His love for his little daughter.

"Yes Papa, be careful on the road." Answer's adorable.

"Sir Al." Call Tata when Al is about to enter his vehicle.

Al stopped his steps and turned to face the tailing woman behind him.

"Thank you." That's all he said.

Al did not answer and soon passed from before him.

"Sometimes it's impossible to guess what Mr. Al wants." Mumbled himself.

"Assalamu'alaikum Beautiful." Sapa Mbak Watik who suddenly appeared from the gate.

"Mbak Watik has arrived. He said noon ?"

"Yes, thank God everything is in order. I'd like to see you, miss." Answer's joking.

"Can. But how come you're walking ?"

"Yes, the tyre was leaking, so I stayed in the workshop. I'm gonna get us here." Said explained.

Many times Tata's handphond rings. From the screen was written the name Astrid who called.

"Why Ma'am ? Looks like Ma'am's anxious so ?" Ask Ma'am Watik.

"Father Ma'am, just my cousin nelfon-nelson continues." Answer without explanation.

"Why not appointed Ma'am, fear is important." Advice Ma'am Watik.

"Yes Mbak, yesterday he came here with my Bulek. Actually today I was asked to come home."

"Well, why don't you just ask permission from Mas Al ?"

"That's it, Mr. Al wouldn't let me go home alone."

"Then ?"

"Sir asked me to wait for him later in the day."

"It's good dong Mbak, so Mbak is safer than going there alone. Hearing the story of Mbak from Bu Ranti time at maen to the halfway house, I have no respect for Bulek Mbak Tata. It's kind of rich, sometimes compassionate, but also not self-knowing." The expression of Madam Watik's annoyance while silencing her own mouth.

"Did I go alone, Ma'am ?" Tanya Tata asked for consideration.

The difference in the taste of phone calls continues to be the same Astrid.

"It is better to wait for Mas Al, Mbak, or Mbak Tata try to contact Mas Al. If I do, mending what Mas Al says."

'Maybe I'd better call Mr. Al.' Thought in the heart.

Tutt .. tutt .. tutt ...

There was a tone of call coming in, but there was no answer from Alfatih.

"Mbak Watik, it looks like Mr. Al is busy. I'd better go to Paklek's own house." Tata said impatiently waiting.

"But Ma'am, later if Mas Al asked how ?"

"Say me if I have left. Mr. Al doesn't have to go there, let me finish it myself." Answer Tata while packing.

"Where are you going ?" Nindya asked, hoping to be invited to walk this afternoon.

"Dya dear, Mama asked permission to go to Uncle Mama's place for a moment. Uncle Mama is sick, Dya play first with Latik Ma'am huh ?" Sujid.

"Now isn't it long ?"

"Don't love, when Mama's business is over, Mama's gonna be home soon."

"Yes Mama, be careful on the road."

"Sir, tipped Dya yes ?"

"Yes already, you be careful yes, if there is anything immediately contact Mr. Al."

Tata nodded, understanding once about Matik's worries. But is it possible that he can contact Alfatih for his personal affairs. There are a lot of things Al has done for him.

***

"Thank you." He said when he arrived in a small alley to the Arman paklek house, while giving a fare to his brother who faithfully drove his customers.

"Together Mother, don't forget the star's love." The answer. Just like the other brother Ojol, asking for a return for the service he gave.

Tata fused the tip of the index finger with his thumb, in lieu of an okay answer to the request of his brother ojol.

"Assalamu'alaikum."

"Wa'alaikumsalam, Nduk enter Ta."

"This is the one who's been waiting for, finally coming too." Astrid Ketus.

"How are you ?" Sapa Andri who was already in that place.

Not only himself, he came with two men. Tata knew the man to Andri's right was Mr. Johan, Andri's father. But one more he doesn't recognize.

"Alhamdulillah, good Mas." The answer.

"You are still sweet to this cheap woman, after what she did to you !" Maki Pak Johan sounded angry.

I don't know what he meant.

Cheap lady ?

Who is called a cheap woman ?

Tata widened his eyes to hear the curse of Mr. Johan.

"Sir, no, don't make a fuss." Andri half whispered.

"Please take care of your behavior, Mr. Johan. My niece is not that kind of woman." Paklek said. His voice shook with anger.

"What does Mr. Johan mean to say like that ?" Anita asked impatiently.

"Need you know, I actually disagree that my son is related to a poor girl like you !" Mr. Johan said beginning his explanation.

Tata still quietly held back her emotions. Even though his ears were already hot to hear Mr. Johan's insults for him.

"But at the request of my beloved son, whatever he asks me to do." Say again.

"He asked me to make a minimarket for you, he asked me to accommodate you stay at one of my boarding houses, I also participated. Even he also asked me to give you an extra salary, I also participated !

But what did you do to my son, after you spent the money, you just stayed. Even you make a troublemaker, as if my son is not right !"

"But I_"

"Wait, I haven't finished talking !" Cut Mr. Johan off before Tata makes his defense.

So long and wide the curse of Mr. Johan, that Tata could hardly hear it.

"Mister, listen to what Mr. Johan says. Bepa continues to be my favorite nephew." Bulek's comments interfered.

"I'm sure Tata's not like that, ma'am." Paklek said kekh with his stance.

"Keep, keep on getting behind."

"And you know, what makes me have to make a calculation with Paklekmu this time ?" Johan spoke again, this time his index finger pointed right in front of Tata's face.

"Your people have unresolved debts. And at the request of my favorite child, he actually asked not to bring up his debt again. But since I was angry at your ungrateful behavior, I charged all along with the flowers."

That's the point of the problem they're going to discuss. Tata himself does not know when and for what Paklek owed to Mr. Johan.

"May I speak ?" Tanya Tata flat.

"Yes, tell me when can you pay for it ? Or else the house and its contents will be confiscated !"

Whether it was a bluff or true, Tata himself did not know.

"How much does Paklek owe ?" Tata asked Paklek Arman.

"Your debt is two hundred million, it's not the interest yet." Sela Mr. Johan.

"No Nduk, Paklek never owed that much to Mr. Johan." Paklek said in denial.

"Who Paklekmu knew, wong at that time he was in a coma." Bulek said something.

"How come, Paklek does not feel indebted, but Mr Johan charges that much ?" Tata asked in wonder.

"Hey, yesterday afternoon boy ! Bulek who owed for the cost of treatment Paklekmu time lying helpless in the hospital, heroes travel from outside Java to here. What free do you think !" Bulek said no less.

"Isn't everything free ?"

Governance, medical and transport costs are all borne by Alfatih. Then how can all that be used as an excuse for Bulek to blame the situation of Paklek.

"You think we don't have to pay for living ! As long as your Paklekmu is paralyzed, do you think how our fate is !"

"But that much money ? Though there has been an additional monthly from the company Paklek works."

A heated debate, between Bulek and Tata.

"I don't want to know, the important thing is that the certificate of this house is in my hands. If until next week there is no repayment, please empty this house." Said Mr. Johan stop the debate Bulek and Tata.

"Mother, how is this ? Astrid won't leave this house." Astrid's whine was made up.

"Give us time to finish sir." Pinta Paklek's.

'Where am I going to find that much money ? Although this house will not be possible for me to occupy, but at least there are still memories left from the relics of the late father and Mother.' she cried in her heart.
