Dig a Pile Close a Lobang
The economic problems that the Mia family faced made them have to deal with loan sharks at all times. This time Mia had to dig a new hole so that the old hole was covered. Mia had no other choice but to owe another loan shark. Mia's and Mia's extravagant habits keep them from getting enough into economic trouble.
" Mi.. When are we going to the loan shark's place?" mia asked Mami who was lifting the clothesline when Mia had just returned from work.
" Later tonight, all Mami also want to stop by at the place of Mami's friends" said Mami while continuing to lift her clothesline.
Mia then walked into her room and rushed to take a bath, the tiredness and stifling feeling she had lost and changed with a fresh feeling the moment after she had taken a bath.
Mia noticed a list of the amount of debt bills that had to be paid off if she paid it all off.
" Do I just pay a portion first ? at least for a year I didn't think about that debt. If I borrow a new one, how many months? " murm Mia while thinking the best way and she doesn't want anything wrong.
Mami suddenly entered while Mia was seriously calculating the amount of her debt.
" You just ask questions later, so be clear before you want to borrow money from that person" explained Mami.

In the evening, Mia and Mami are ready to go to the house where they will borrow money. There is a sense of pleasure in Mami because if Mia so borrow the money then Mami will get a commission and will certainly be used by Mami to buy new clothes.
Mia did not think anything at that time, Mia focused on the jammed streets and the hustle and bustle of vehicles on the road that made the atmosphere very crowded. Mami who sat in the back continued to fantasize about the clothes will be bought and the model she will choose. Of course Mami will be in style at the wedding of their neighbor's son who will have a party next week.
" Is there anyone at home?" ask Mia suddenly.
" Mommy thinks there, she rarely goes out when it's night" said Mami.
" Just know Mami, if Mami is used to coming here" asked Mia who was entering the hallway of the house they were going to.
" Mommy once borrowed money at all during a party in the next complex" said Mami.
Mia stopped at a white house with a large courtyard without any plants.
" The house is very quiet, I'm not sure there are people" said Mia.
" Come on in, she already knows we're coming" Mami pulled Mia's hand into the courtyard of the white house and they stopped at the door and rang the bell.
A mother came out and opened the door and greeted us kindly. The mother was about 50 years old with trimmed hair and very fat body. He wore a pink and gold negligee in his hands like a walking gold shop.
" Please come in! " The kindly mother who was called Kak Bot told us to go in and sit in her living room chair.
Mia and Mami came in and sat down and then Bot went into his room. Mia and Mami wait in the living room until Kak Bot comes out with a notebook.
" Yes Kak, this is my first child" said Mami casually as if Kak Bot was his best friend.
Mia just threw a polite smile at Kak Bot, Mia noticed Kak Bot talking to Mami while opening her notebook one by one.
" Sister already knows what Mia means to come" Kak Bot told Mia.
" Sister once passed in front of your house to quote money from people who are minjam same brother, happened to meet your Mami and she told about the problems you are facing right now. Brother can help you but before you have to know the terms so that later we are equally good" said Kak Bot at length while giving a paper that reads the terms and signature with 6000 batteries.
" Do I have to sign this, brother?" asked Mia after reading her terms.
" Everything read? if you have to give a photo of KTP coffee and signature below" said Kak Bot while showing the part that must be signed by Mia.
Mia did everything Kak Bot told her to do, Kak bot explained the payment technique and everything Mia had to agree with.
" Tomorrow Brother transfers the money because the amount you borrow is very much so there is no way you can go home with money like that.
" Yes Kak, then we say goodbye first" said Mia.
" Good" said Mr. Bot.
Mia and Mami leave Kak Bot's house and head to Mami's friend's house which is not far from there. Mia accompanied Mami even though Mia's heart began to feel bored and tired, Mia did not feel good to refuse Mami's invitation because Mami was willing to accompany her to Kak Bot's house.
After a while at Mami's friend's house, they both go home because the clock has gone to 11 pm. They are not happy to leave Papi alone with Egi who sometimes forget to keep Papi who is sick and sleep in his room.

Mia felt very tired when she was in her room, for a moment her financial problems were under control. Mia doesn't know what she's going to do in the future, but what Mia thinks is to keep working to cover her new debt.
" At least I'm not dealing with the manly leech" Mia said.
Mia tries to calm her nervous brain, knowing that she is making new problems, but for a while Mia has no other choice. Sometimes when Mia is alone like now Mia remembers her glory days, when Papi was still rich and had a husband who was also rich and she could do whatever she wanted in life.
Mia used to shop, vacation, and spend money on things that were not important. Now that things have changed, Mia lives in a very unfit house with her sick parents and her two troubled siblings. This situation made Mia feel that this was a punishment for her who had been unable to save and could not keep what was already hers.
" I'd better get some sleep, tomorrow it's working again" Mia thought.
Mia closed her eyes, for a moment she was still thinking about whether her difficult life was just a dream. He opened his eyes to make sure that he was indeed dreaming, but when he opened his eyes he realized that all these trials were real.
