Scavenger Becomes New Director
The Hospital
" Something must have happened so that Mang Dadang came with the police", Bibi Santy continued to make things up in his mind, with a facial expression that increasingly showed anxiety.
" Good Night Aunt, this is from the police wanting to meet with aunt." Mang Dadang said softly and politely but with a serious face and a bit of panic.
" Oh yes, please come in. Come," said Aunt Santy, inviting the two policemen into the house, because they were still in front of the porch.
" Don't bother mom. We came to ask Mom if she was Santy Pranoyo?" Ask one of the police.
" Right sir," Aunt Santy replied quickly.
" Look, Miss Santy, has Santy been a foster care guardian for a teenage boy named Jimmy Laihatu?" Ask the policeman again while looking closely at Aunt Santy.
" It's absolutely right, sir." Answer Aunt Santy.
" Okay, then now can you come with us? There's something important and serious we're going to show you." Said the other policeman.
" I'm sorry, all of you, but what exactly is the deal with my foster child? Did he make trouble? Or is he in the brawl? Or steal? Have to deal with the authorities?" Aunt Santy's old disease relapses again she blabbering not because of.
Sita who had been eavesdropping from inside the house, heard her mother's babble then poured out and pointed at the same question with her mother.
" Ma, what's wrong with Jimmy Ma? Jimmy, what's the matter? Why do we have to deal with the police?" Sita said no less panicked.
"Mama also doesn't know dear" said Aunt Santy trying to calm the panicked Sita.
Sita who showed her panic attitude was not wrong. Because Jimmy is like his brother. The only protector if his mother is gone.
"Let's be clear, let's mom and sister come with us and we'll explain in detail there. Take it with him with a few pieces of his clothes." The police said again.
"Why sir?" Ask Aunt Santi again quickly.
But Sita cut off her mother's back-to-back questions quickly.
" Ah, it's mama. Don't ask too many questions. My mother's question made me panic. Better now we go to Jimmy's house and get his clothes ready." Sita said while pulling her mother's hand to her brother Jimmy's house which was right on the right of their house.
" It's good, baby." Said Aunt Santy calming her son Sita.
" Both sir, Mang Dadang wait a minute. We'll get my son's clothes ready first." Said Aunt Santy while pleading with the two policemen and Mang Dadang.
"It's good Mom. Please just wait here." Mang said Madang and the two policemen simultaneously.
Aunt Santy and Sita then walk towards Jimmy's house to pick up some pieces of his clothes. They had to pick it up at Jimmy's house because almost all of his clothes were in his old house, not Aunt Santy's. Jimmy is a very stubborn man. He did not want to bother Aunt Santy and his sister Sita to wash her clothes. She washes her own clothes.
After preparing everything, Bibi Santy and Sita invited Mang Dadang and the two policemen to leave immediately. But Mang Dadang pampit to keep the house only.
" I'll just wait here, aunt. While guarding Aunt and Jimmy's house. I just wait for news from aunt and Sita when I come back later." Mang Dadang said while smiling thinly.
The four of them then walked down the narrow alley of the slum and approached the police car parked outside the alley.
All the residents of the slum whose houses were clinging to it looked pity on Aunt Santy and the confiscation of her daughter. This simple family had to deal with the police and certainly with the hospital because of the accident this afternoon. Some people in this slum complex already knew about the incident this afternoon. But no one dared to tell Aunt Santy.

Marsya keeps fiddling with her iPhone. Sometimes he looked out at James's luxurious Mason, which was part of him two years ago. While his son Jelita was busy chatting with his friends near the large swimming pool which is almost around the white-dominated Masion. Marsya was sitting relaxed in the Masion lopo on the third floor which was designed to form a garden plus some lopo. Every now and then Marsya looks away at the beauty of the Cempaka complex, one of the most luxurious residential complexes in this metropolitan city. Because in this complex there are dozens of houses and even hundreds of homes of high-ranking state officials and the presidents of large companies in the country. And Marsya is grateful she was able to marry James who became one of the most important and reckoned conglomerates in the country. When busy fiddling with HP while gossiping in his social group.
Suddenly Maya's sister comes to join him and immediately lies lazily beside Marsya.
"Maya, you're back from the office?" Marsya asked while turning her head slightly and looking back at her HP screen.
" Already from earlier brother. It's already 8pm, I've been back from half 6pm. Cuisine don't know anyway?" Maya replied a little taut because since Marsya had not turned away from his HP screen.
" This house is big Maya, natural dong if you do not know. Even we can meet at home for two days." Marsya replied relaxed.
"Ahh, I'm the one who is often outside and doesn't eat together. Me and Mas James in this house always meet because we eat together at the dinner table." Maya grunts annoyed.
Both of them were silent and busy with their respective affairs on the HP screen. Maya suddenly remembered something.
"Where are you, James?" Maya asked open the conversation while looking in wonder at her brother. The call to James has indeed become a habit of Maya if again at home. Unlike if already in the office he called his kaka-in-law by the name of sir.
He loves his brother-in-law very much because since James to his mansion two years ago, he hired Maya in the Mariski group. Before being hired by James, Maya was just an economics scholar who was still unemployed.
" Dadn't know? It will be tumben if until this hour Mas James has not returned home. Try Tania's sister's phone to Mas James' secretary." Maya said with an expression pleading with her brother.
" Jean...." Marsya turned off her HP and turned to Maya with a sharp gaze that Marsya had begun to be upset because she felt cornered by Maya as a wife who is not caring or responsible for her husband.
" Your James is all grown up, old again. He was four-headed his age. Sister's cooking should be stalking her where she goes. If he goes looking for happiness out there, yes please just, as long as he still meets the needs of the three of us and the inheritance rights of some house and the whole company he's into us on behalf of Jelita." Marsya said at length.
"But brother..." Maya wants to interject but is soon cut off by Marsya.
" That's Maya. All you have to do now is; run everything we've planned with uncle and don't forget to keep your Mas James uncle's identity a secret." Marsya said as she rose from the bed in the lopo and passed away from the Maya.
To be honest Maya could not bear to carry out all her brother's plans because on the one hand she loved her brother-in-law James. But on the other hand, he could not disappoint his brother Marsya who was hard-earned to work in one of the malls owned by James. Mariski Mall's. It was at the mall where James and his older brother Marsya first met and got married two years ago. Marsya was also the one who took care of it until finishing her college a few years ago. In return for her sister, Maya is not married and waiting for Marsya happy then she looks for a partner.

Aunt Santy and Sita were shocked that the two policemen had not taken them to the police station but to one of the most famous private hospitals in the capital.
