Painting Images With Light
The Part 56
Given the time he has to stay in the village, which is only a matter of hours, then Bagio must take care of his debt problems, as soon as possible.
Inevitably, Bagio had to stop Citra's activities, which seemed still fun to take pictures, by calling the woman, in order to come with Bagio.
Bagio then followed, to the place where Citra was standing and directed his photo camera.
"Partner!" Bagio exclaimed calling out the name Citra, and the woman immediately turned her head towards Bagio.
"What's wrong?" tanya Citra, while lowering her photo camera, until it only looks like it is hanging in front of her stomach.
"I'm sorry. You may still want to take pictures, but I need to get out of here. There's something I have to do. And inevitably, you have to come with me," said Bagio.
"Oohhh! ... Okay!" sahut Citra, then walk with Bagio.
"I'm sorry, huh, Cit?!" said Bagio, again.
"Eh! Its nothing. Don't you think about me still taking pictures. That's not a big deal....
... We came here, right for your business?! So you really have to finish it first" Citra said.
When Bagio and Citra were about to approach the rice cottage, where Kartono was sitting waiting, Kartono was then seen approaching, and walked with the two of them.
"Partner! ... Uh! It's okay, if I call you Citra, right?!" kartono.
"Yes ... It's nothing" Citra said. "What's wrong?"
"I'm sorry, who doesn't seem to care about you. There was something going on, which I had to tell Bagio earlier," Kartono said.
"Oohhh! ... That's not a problem. Just relax," Citra said.
"But ... Bagio! ... Do I know what happened?" tanya Citra, who sounded cautious.
"Hm ... You remember my debt, which I told you about back then, right?!" sahut Bagio's.
"Yes," Citra replied, briefly.
"The man I deposited the deposit with, did not pay my debt, for the last three months....
... That way, if I can't take care of it, then the house and rice fields of my late grandfather's estate might be confiscated by the pawnshop" Bagio said, explaining.
"Oh, gosh! ... In that case, you should take care of it as soon as possible," Citra said, looking completely shocked.
"Yes ... Right now, we're going to go to that guy's house, to talk about it. Because I can't take care of it myself....
... Especially on a Sunday like this. Which is, the pawnshop office is now definitely closed," Bagio said.
The image then looks mangosteen, as if he understands, with what is meant by Bagio.
After walking for some time, Bagio with Citra and Kartono, finally arrived at Sarimunah's house.
The front door of Sarimunah's house opened, then knocked by Bagio, while greeting.
Until many times Bagio knocked on the door and gave greetings, then the mother of Sarimunah was seen coming out of the house, and met Bagio, and his entourage.
"Good day, bude!" sapa Bagio's.
"Jiang! What's up?" sahut the mother of Sarimunah, ketus, as if she already knew, would be the purpose of the Bagio who came to his house.
"Don't tell me you've come, to fuss over your deposit!" sarimunah's mother continued, raising her tone.
"I'm sorry, bude! ... Pakde there? I did come here, to talk about my deposit....
... But I don't intend to make a fuss. I just want to find out, just talk about it," said Bagio.
Although Bagio only spoke in a soft tone of voice, but it seemed, the mother of Sarimunah still did not accept, with the intention of the arrival of Bagio there.
"That's it! ... Arrogant you are now, huh?! Do you work in the city now? We've been helping you all this time! You don't know to return the favor! Not shameless!"
Like a burning fire, then doused again with gasoline, the mother of Sarimunah, showed her explosive anger.
The mother of Sarimunah, even had time to issue the most rude and worst words of diatribe, to curse at Bagio.
The voice of Sarimunah's mother who shouted, scolding Bagio, also attracted the attention of the surrounding residents, until Sarimunah's house became a free cinema for the villagers.
Doesn't stop there.
The father of Sarimunah, who was seen coming out of the house, also scolded Bagio, without being able to control himself anymore, even though their behavior had become a spectacle of the citizens.
Even according to Bagio, both the mother and father of Sarimunah, it seems that it is intentional, to humiliate and demean Bagio.
However, Bagio did not respond to the bad words, which the father and mother of Sarimunah uttered, and pretended like he had not heard them.
Bagio even thought, that it was even better if they got exhausted themselves, because those who were screaming were cursing at Bagio.
That's why, so Bagio remained standing there, and did not go anywhere. Bagio waited, until they limp themselves so tired.
The image that stood beside Bagio, squeezed firmly, the hand that Bagio held.
As if, Citra felt anxious about the bad behavior of the Sarimunah family members.
While Kartono, I don't know where it went.
However, not long after Bagio realized, if Kartono was not with him and Citra again, Bagio actually saw Kartono, who walked into the yard of Sarimunah's house.
And Kartono is not alone.
One of the RT Chairmen, an RW Chairman and two Hansip men, was seen walking with Kartono, coming to Sarimunah's house.
At that moment, two new Hansip came, and was seen trying to calm the mother and father of Sarimunah.
However, Sarimunah's father and mother seem to be increasingly eager to fight back, and even, Sarimunah's father will be lunged at, to hit Bagio.
If only one of Hansip was not agile to catch Sarimunah's father, perhaps Bagio would have received a blow, from Sarimunah's father.
"If you can't calm down. And just getting rough. I'll take you both to the police station."
So said the Chairman of RW, who was finally able to clog the mouths of Sarimunah's father and mother, and also made them both able to stop to fight.
Father and mother of Sarimunah, finally could only be silent there. Although the look on their faces still showed their dislike, to everyone who came to his house.
"Everything! Let's go to the RT Chairman's house, now! We can have a civilized conversation there."
Call from the Chairman of RW, referring to the father and mother of Sarimunah, Bagio, and anyone involved in the matter.
No longer lingering, all concerned in the commotion that occurred, then followed the steps of the Chairman of RW, who walked at the front along with the Chairman of RT.
Sarimunah, who may have been hiding in the house, was seen following her parents.
Some residents who seemed also curious, also followed to the house of the RT chairman, and watched the 'trial', which was held on the front porch, at the house of the RT chairman.
"I've heard the subject from Kartono. But I will still listen, the defense of each of you who are here," said Chairman RW, as if opening a conversation there.
"Bagio! ... You can talk first!" continued Chairman of RW, giving an opportunity to Bagio.
Bagio then told about the money, which he had given to Sarimunah's father, and which he entrusted to Kartono.
Bagio also explained, that he did not intend to make a fuss, and he just wanted to find out, true or not, about what Kartono said.
The RW chairman then gave the opportunity to Kartono, to explain to all of them, whatever he knew, and which he reported to Bagio.
And just as Kartono told Bagio, back then, Kartono told him everything in detail.
After Kartono finished telling the story, Kartono even promised that he could call a witness, who saw the arrival of pawnshop employees at Bagio's house.
When Sarimunah's father and mother were given the opportunity by the RW chairman to speak, Sarimunah's parents denied all the words of Kartono and Bagio.
Both parents Sarimunah, actually said that it was Bagio, who made a fuss first in their home.
However, one of the residents who stood watching the discussion of the problem on the terrace of the RT chairman's house, immediately asked for permission, so that he could give testimony.
And one of the residents, who claimed to see from the beginning of the arrival of Bagio to the house Sarimunah, because the residents who were interested to see bule—Citra— in his village, admitted that it was the mother of Sarimunah, who scolded Bagio for no reason.
The objections from both Sarimunah's parents, about those who used Bagio's money without permission, were again denied by Kartono.
Kartono, who seems to be convinced that he is innocent, then asks permission to leave for a while, to call in a neighbor of Bagio, who witnesses the arrival of employees from the pawnshop office.
While waiting for the arrival of Kartono back to the house of the RT chairman, the Chairman of the RW, then gave advice to each side, in order to be able to solve the problem properly.
And after Kartono came back, he didn't just bring Bagio's neighbors.
Instead, Kartono also brought someone, who could be a witness, when Kartono delivered money to Sarimunah's father, at that time.
It was clear, after the two men brought by Kartono gave their testimony, all the people who were there, showed a look of face, which seemed to blame the two parents of Sarimunah.
The father of Sarimunah, does not seem to accept such humiliation.
And suddenly, the father of Sarimunah broke a glass in front of him, and using a large enough fraction, the father of Sarimunah then lunged at Bagio, who was sitting opposite him.
The incident happened so fast that Bagio could not avoid it anymore, when the father of Sarimunah thrust the broken glass, into the stomach of Bagio.
