"What is Jang RT?" asked Mbah Abun who rounded his eyes, he did not believe that Mr. RT had such evil thoughts about him.

"Sorry Abah, not that I accuse, but I want to hear Abah's explanation because I see Abah as relaxing, not showing like the one who is already in Serang, because I see Abah as relaxing, not like someone who wants to be taken away. Abah seems not to care about it, but I think it is a very disturbing event, even if not careful maybe Abah now lives his life," explained Mr. RT at length, so that Mbah Abun does not think badly of him.

"How do you mean Jang? try not to be so convoluted let Abah understand! Abah is old, Abah's brain has begun to thicken."

"Why Abah did not report the incident to the authorities, If in the village at least Abah reported the incident to the local administrator.so that the action carried out by Kang Sarman did not repeat itself," asked Mr. RT while looking at the middle-aged man in front of him, like wanting to penetrate into the heart of Mbah Abun, wanting to know what Mbah Abun actually kept secret.

"Abah actually wanted to report it to Mr. RT, but as Mr. RT knew, Abah was invited to attend the wedding of Abah's business partner's son in the city. so that Abah did not have time to convey the incident to the manager. After returning from the city, Abah was also hit. Ranti, Abah's only son disappeared somewhere even until now his whereabouts are unknown," explained Mbah Abun who looks very smart to play a role, so that Mr. RT looks like a mangosteen who understands what was said by Mbah Abun. "now according to Abah, sieve the Sarman was left alone! perhaps this is the creator's reply to an envious, evil man like Sarman, who dares to hurt his own neighbor, even if he is able to take Abah's life," mbah Abun.

Hearing Mbah Abun's answer at length, made the chairman of Ciandam Village silent for a moment as if he was digesting what was delivered by his citizens.until finally he was seen to take a deep breath, as if he was, it was like he was gathering strength to speak amidst his confusion.

"But seeing Kang Sarman, who is very worried, I feel sorry for Mbah."

"Therefore, Abah Why not report the behavior of the unlucky4n to the administrator, because Abah knows Jang RT will defend the person to death," said Bah Abun who began to corner Mr. RT.

"No Bah! not like that, everyone in the village of Ciandam, it is my citizens. So I will not be choosy to uphold justice, but to see the situation of Sarman who must be helped immediately. So I as the chairman decided to help him first, before making a decision. Later if he is cured, I promise to discuss with him, if he does not want to change, then I will not be responsible to take him to the village office, to be deposited with the authorities. because what Sarman did, however, was a very fatal mistake, a mistake to hurt and even take the lives of others, it was very unjust." said Mr. RT gave an answer so that Bah Abun did not corner him.

"Why did Mr. RT only think about Sarman? Why not think about Abah, who is now losing her child? whether in the eyes of Mr. RT, Sarman is more important than Abah's son, than Abah himself, who has spent a lot of money and thoughts to advance Ciandam Village. Where is Mr RT's conscience?" bah Abun said like finding a bridge in the middle of the wilderness, he continued to corner Mr. RT.

"Sorry Abah, did Abah ever report Ranti's loss to me?"

"How to report Jang, Abah's thoughts again confused. Jang RT should come to Abah, asking Ranti's situation. Abah believes that if Jang RT hears the difficulties that Abah is facing. as a good village leader, Jang RT should be sensitive to what happens to the villagers!"

Hearing Mbah Abun's explanation, made Mr. RT speechless, stunned instantly like he was struck by his most vital object. because he admitted What was spoken by Mbah Abun, was indeed so true, indeed, he did not respond quickly to the incident that befell the woven City family, from his negligence then he had to bear the shame, in the corner by Mbah Abun.

"I'm sorry Abah! if I am not responsive to what happened to my family, I apologize again! I completely ignored the news because according to Zuhri, Abah had sent Galih and Daus to look for the whereabouts of Abah's lost son." said Mr. RT while sighing in exhaling regret regret that he had done, Regret is not quick to respond to what happened to its citizens.

"Is it enough to use Galih and Daus, who they are nobody, they are not managers, they are not village leaders?" answer Bah Abun who cornered Pak RT.

Got himself cornered, RT sir who did not know what to say anymore.he again sighed deeply, feeling confused by what he should talk about. he had wanted to interrogate the events that befell the Sarman family, but in reality he was even in a corner like that.

"I apologize profusely, because I did not respond quickly to the incident that happened to the family. I will think about How to help Ranti, I beg you to say goodbye first, to continue my work looking for grass for livestock," said Mr. RT finally he said goodbye, because he doesn't know what else to say.

Finally, Mr. RT shook hands, after mutual forgiveness, he continued his work again, his work was delayed, looking for grass for his livestock.

"If you hear his speech like that, how about we take Jang Sarman to the doctor to find out what disease he suffered, so that it can be treated as soon as possible, because if left to be afraid battery, if left unafraid, the wound on Jang Sarman's leg will spread everywhere!" broke up Tardi's battery that afternoon.
