Santri Famiglia's

Plague

"You want to know?" ask Meani.

He spread his gaze evenly. The young men in front looked serious. Eiji nodded.

"I'll let you know if Sanu's buying."

Intentionally refraining from providing further information. Naturally, he did not want the sustenance in plain sight to float because of that info. At least, an absolute agreement must be formed before saying it.

Sanubari thought hard. Actually, he could have taken off the land that Arti claimed. Without buying it, he still owns the house. His home in Italy is even more than worth living in.

However, after considering this, Sanubari decided, "I'll buy it."

Mangosteen meaning. He was satisfied to hear Sanubari's reply, then urged, "Good. Now, where's the money?"

Sanubari smiled awkwardly. Surely, he did not bring that much money. So, he secretly hoped his friends could help.

Then, he said, "Um, Brother Eiji, Brother Abri, Brother Ren, Brother Sai, can you borrow your money?"

Sanubari looked to the right and left. He only brought five million rupiah in cash. He thought, maybe the money will reach the nominal that has been set when combining each money.

If not enough, Sanubari thinks it will pay off tomorrow after taking the money to the bank. Kelana reminded him before leaving, "Use this if your allowance runs out. Your entire savings are here. You can tell me too. Later, I'll transfer some money to you. Understood?"

Kelana showed the keychain contains cards that Sanubari did not know at that time. The card that Sanubari also brought to Japan, but did not know how to use it. That night, Kelana asked him to show her again and explain her usefulness.

"I've had enough," Eiji nodded back.

He unzipped the bag, took out a brown envelope from Aeneas, placed it on the table. He also added thirty-seven notes of five hundred euros. The cash severance from Aeneas had not been unloaded at all.

"If you exchange this to the bank, you'll earn a billion more" he added.

Eiji had already done a quick calculation. Based on his rough calculations, sixty-eight thousand five hundred euros should be more than enough.

"If my calculations miss and this money turns out to be lacking, you can meet us to ask for the shortcomings" he added.

"Wait a minute! I'll call the village officials and some of the villagers as witnesses!" said husband Arti.

As her husband leaves, Arti lays out what Eiji wants to know. About a month ago, Indonesia was hit by a major disaster that spread from Sabang to Merauke. An outbreak of a mysterious disease infects almost the entire population.

Pandemic shocked all layers of the country when mass death occurred in the first week. Unmitigated-, a million souls died on the same day.

In fact, it was reported that a village suddenly became a dead village because all its inhabitants died. The news was followed by calls to limit interactions and implement socialized health tips.

Given history, this phenomenon cannot be taken lightly. The government took immediate action. Research on the causes of mass death was also conducted.

Hospitals and other health facilities are full. The falling victims continue to grow. Many sectors have stalled because those infected will experience paralysis on the third day.

At that time, Arti's daughter also became a victim. Initially, Arti thought her daughter had a common fever. However, when taken to the hospital, the girl was sentenced to be exposed to the virus that is ravaging the country.

To cure it, Arti had to buy a serum for a hundred million. That very minute, his crippled daughter was able to get healthy again.

Unfortunately, the next day, Arti who replaced infected. Once healed, his daughter was sick again. Her husband was also fired because of this pandemic.

Many of his neighbors died from not being able to afford the serum. Meaning and family being some who are lucky enough to survive in this difficult time.

"It seems, we came on the wrong day," Renji commented after hearing the story.

"If it's that bad, why doesn't the news get to other countries?" ask Abrizar.

He thinks it's a little strange. News of that size should have reached the international ear, especially if the spread is indeed through the air and human interaction. Sooner or later, the wind will definitely bring the plague to the surrounding country.

Unfortunately, Arti only answered briefly, "Where do I know."

Not long after, Arti's husband returned with bayan, the village head, the head of RT, and two other residents. They complete the transaction. Without delay, Arti and her husband immediately packed up. They left the men still gathered in the living room.

After witnessing the transaction, Mr. RT ventured to offer, "Anu, Sanu, will you also buy my house? Five hundred million. My house is not this good. We can negotiate a price, but I hope it's not less than four hundred million."

"Buy my land, Sanu!"

"If you want, mine too."

The others followed. Sanubari was confused by the invasion of this offer. Eiji, Abrizar, Renji, and Sai are the same. Residents of the village as if to sell their land in unison—it is too odd to be considered a mere coincidence.

"Why do you want to sell me a house?" ask Sanubari.

"I need money for the treatment of my son and wife."

"Either."

"This village being one of the red zones, I want to move to an unspoiled place of plague."

"It's better to sell to you than the frontman of that village!"

"really. They want to buy our land at a low price."

"Yes. In fact, it's not enough to buy that serum.

They willingly took turns to testify. The villagers are on the verge of despair. In each head, it is certain that at least one family member is infected.

Because of the exorbitant medical costs, almost all residents of the village experienced economic downturn. The poor died without treatment. What remains are middle and upper class citizens.

That sounds like a serious threat. Abrizar's suspicions faded after similar confessions from residents.

Without asking, Sanubari could guess. The pentolan in question must be the land mafia, the person who once complicated the burial of his grandfather. Sanubari was furious to hear it.

He promised to help the people. Because it was late, they went home. The Arti family is also out.

"I won't let such people use disaster to blackmail someone."

Sanubari clenched his hands. Anger churns.

"Looks, we should get back to Italy soon. It is not good to stay here for too long under these conditions" suggested Abrizar.

He's getting anxious. There are too many things they don't know.

"Abri's right. Fighting a biological enemy is more troublesome than facing a fellow human being" Renji said.

"After completing the transaction, we go home" Sanubari replied.

He thought, staying a day or two might not matter. He felt very healthy, would not easily fall ill.
