The Shabby Paper

"This smell!!!" yelled the boy.

"Want to eat meatballs? please sit down young!" said the shop owner.

With a smile the boy said, "How long?"

In a surprised tone the shopkeeper replied, "What? Ohh take it easy, you must be very hungry huh, well I'll serve you a bowl of extra meatballs quickly!!"

Quickly the shopkeeper immediately brought and served a bowl of meatballs at the child's desk.

"Here, please dima-!"

"Well, thank you, thank you uncle!" timpal the boy interrupted the shop owner to immediately eat the dish in front of him.

"Wah eat slowly young people, watch out for choking" said the shop owner.

With the food still in his mouth the boy said, "ummm ummm, twenwang swajwa pwamwan"

While hitting his chest with his palm choking he said, "Uhukk uhukk, umm ummm, uhukk"

"Oh wait wait wait! let me get you a drink!" the shopkeeper hurried to prepare and serve the drink to the boy.

After serving the tavern the owner sat down next to the boy and said, "You're crazy, you're choking, you can still chew food"

With teary eyes and still in a state of chewing, the boy immediately patted the owner of the shop repeatedly and said, "Mwakanwan pamwan inwi uwenwak swekwali, dwan pamwan jwuga bwaik swekwali"

"What's? What's?" The owner of the shop was confused by the boy's words.

The boy immediately finished the meatball and drank the drink, and after the food and drink were finished, the boy said, "Uncle is very good, and this food is very good"

"It's time to go"

The shopkeeper interrupted the boy and immediately gave him a paper that read '180 silos in total'

"150 silos for food and 30 silos for drinks" the shop owner said.

The boy was confused and said, "Pay? with money?"

"Well, what else would you pay if not for the money?" the shop owner's.

"Hey hey, don't tell me that you don't have money to pay" the shopkeeper added in a somewhat angry tone.

"But I only have this uncle" said the boy, giving the contents of his pouch a small, worn-out paper containing an address.

"At first I wanted to tell you that I was going to help out at your shop, by saying how long uncle?"

"I mean how long, I guess how many hours I'm gonna tell you to work at your shop, uncle"

"But uncle interrupted me and told me to sit down immediately, yaaaaa I sighh.

The shopkeeper scrunched his forehead and checked the paper in the boy's hand and said, "Hadeehh, what is this? worthless, can't be made money"

"This child really has no money at all" the tavern owner murmured inwardly.

"Yes already do the dishes there!, after that wipe clean these tables!" with angry tones but interspersed with pity.

The boy helped the shopkeeper to clean up at his meat shop until 5 p.m. There were about 7 customers in the store at the time, which was followed by the arrival of a tall and sturdy young man.

"Sir!, as always!" said the young man.

"Oh you Jaka!, sit down! sit down!" answer the shop owner.

Zakaria Al-Fatih, also known as Jaka, is a 19-year-old who recently took control of a small area near the port. Asking for security money all over the place of business and commerce is his job. Jaka's name is famous when he managed to defeat the gang of the holder of this region 'self', his fighting ability is quite great for young men his age.

"Hey come here, because the glass bowl and the table are all clean, help me deliver this food to the young man who just came" said the owner of the tavern to the boy.

"OK okay, uncle!" answer the boy.

While waiting, the young man named Jaka noticed that there was a worn out paper on his desk and picked it up, he accidentally saw the contents of the paper and his eyes immediately opened and he immediately hid the paper in his pocket while his eyes looked around him.

"Damn it, who wrote and stupidly dropped this code?!!" muttered the young man in heart.

"Sir Revelation! comehere!" said the Jaka.

While trembling slightly and filled with fear the tavern owner came to Jaka, "A-Is there anything I can help you with?"

While his hand coded for Pak Wahyu to get a little closer, Jaka said in a soft but angry voice, "Slightly come closer!".

"A-what's a-pa??" sahut Pak Wahyu while advancing his steps a little, and leaning his body towards Jaka.

In a tone full of anger but still slowly Jaka said, "Who is this trash? why is it here? just reduce my appetite!" while showing the boy's shabby paper.

Frightened Mr. Revelation pointed to the boy, "I-it's the boy's paper".

"That junk reduces your appetite, does Jaka? here I'm gonna throw it away and I'm gonna get the son of the owner of this trash!"

"Hey Pak Wahyu just call the boy here, I don't need my appetite food to be lost, just bring me my money!" Jaka said in an emotional tone.

"B-well Jaka!" answer Mr. Revelation.

"Nobody's gonna come over here!"

"Give me this money, and he also has needs with you" said Pak Wahyu while pointing at Jaka.

Without further ado, the boy immediately delivered Jaka's money "Okeeeeee"

Arriving at the table, with a carefree face the boy gave the money to Jaka, "Sir, this is your money".

Jaka tried to cover up his face to not be too emotional by breathing heavily from his mouth, saying "Follow me now".

"Huh?" the boy was confused.

"Follow me now!" said Jaka holding the boy's shoulder.

Dazed that the boy could only look at Jaka and then turn to Pak Wahyu, saying, "Loh? wait peke-"

Jaka interrupted the boy's words while shouting, "Sir of Revelation, this child I brought!!"

While confused and frightened Pak Wahyu to nod his head repeatedly, "Ah yes, bring it with you"
