Scavenger Becomes New Director

Back to Activity

This morning after a week of rest after the accident that hit him, Jimmy returned to activities. Morning Ngamen, mulung and go home from the afternoon. That is how he is every day except Sunday he is at home helping Aunt Santy clean the house as well as clean the house.

Today, he returned in the afternoon feeling very happy because the result today was quite satisfactory. When entering a narrow alley to his house. He was surprised by the sight of a silver Ferrari luxury car parked sweetly at the end of the alley entering his house.

"Who is? Tumben luxury cars can park in front of a shabby alley like this." Jimmy said to me in his heart.

He continued walking while carrying a large basket on his back where storing scavenged results. After approaching his house in front of the terrace there were already some people who were sitting casually accompanied by a small laugh from them.

Now Jimmy doesn't have to trade around selling Aunt Santy's cake. Motor Metic James gift is used by Mang Dadang to sell around and pick up Sita from school.

"Ahh finally also came the man." Aunt Santy said as she pointed at Jimmy emerging from the narrow alleyway where the car was parked.

Jimmy speeds up his steps after finding out who came to visit Aunt Santy's house when Aunt Santy noticed his arrival. Everyone on the porch looked at him with a big smile.

"Hmm it turns out Mr. James and Mr. Stev." Jimmy said in his heart.

"Let me put this basket first" continued Jimmy while stopping at his old house. Since the accident the other day he forced Aunt Santy to live with him and Sita in his house. And Jimmy had no reason to turn down Aunt Santy's request because Aunt Santy was too good with him. His house then became a warehouse where he stored the tools he scavenged.

After cleaning all the tools scavenged he then went to Aunt Santy's house.

"Honey come on in, Mr. James and Mr. Steven have been waiting for you since," Aunt Santy said excitedly and cheerfully.

"Hmmm Tumben Bibi was so excited by the arrival of Mr. James when he planned to hit Mr. James for giving gifts to them without their permission. How is it different, Aunt Santy's attitude today?." Jimmy said to me in his heart.

Jimmy walked onto the porch and greeted James and Steven politely.

"You are a hard worker and a hard worker." James said with a sincere smile as he patted Jimmy on the shoulder.

So did Steven;

"great kids your age have a lot to learn from you" Steven said with a smile at James. A sign that he did not make this decision wrong.

They all then sit back and have a casual chat about Jimmy. Finally Aunt Santy began to talk about the purpose and purpose of the arrival of James and Steven to this slum complex, especially to their home.

"Jimmy, you must be wondering what business Mr. James and Mr. Steven have come to our house. They have a very important goal so willing to leave their super busy office business just to come see us son." Aunt Santy opened the conversation. Followed by the big smiles of James and Steven agree with the words of Aunt Santy who was very careful in opening the conversation.

" They have expressed their intentions to aunt, but aunt cannot make this decision on her own without weighing it with you." Continue Aunt Santy calmly though somewhat heavily.

" What's the matter with aunt to my consent?" Jimmy asked with a question markful gaze to Aunt Santy as well as to James and Steven in turn.

When James is convinced that Aunt Santy is unable to continue the conversation again then James tries to take over the conversation.

"So Jimmy boy, we had a long discussion with your aunt. After I thought carefully with this assistant and my brother," James said, pointing at Steven and greeted with a big smile from him,

"as well as hearing and tracing the background of your life both from your aunt and from the neighbors around, then we decided to finance your school and all your educational needs to the college level later. You are now over 2 years old for your age to enter junior high school. But I don't think it's too late for you to go back to school." James said seriously and fully

confident that Jimmy can agree and consider carefully.

" What???" Jimmy jumped out of his chair because he did not expect the purpose and purpose of James and Steven here is to fund his school to Junior High.

" Is father serious? I would totally agree sir because it was my dream all along!" Jimmy said as he stood up and hugged James who was still sitting in his chair.

Aunt Santy who had been so late in the sadness could finally smile at the joy of her son. He glanced at Sita and Mang Dadang who were also smiling happily as well as happily. Jimmy's future will surely be happy, because Jimmy is financed by one of the richest people in this metropolis.

After a long time of excitement, James finally resumed the conversation as well as his request.

"But Jimmy's son, I have one more request. Maybe it was this father's request that made your aunt sad." James said with great caution. Because this moment will be the determinant of the future of this child, the company, and even the future of him.

"What is that sir? I will definitely respond to your request because you have done good to my family as well as with me personally." Jimmy said with great enthusiasm.

"Father wants to take you to be my foster son and live in my house. Can you?" James said very carefully as he stared at Jimmy's change in face.

Jimmy's original and enthusiastic face finally fell silent and bowed mute.

"Hmmm... So this is why Aunt Santy couldn't tell me directly." Jimmy said in his heart as he bowed mutely and thought while propping up his chin.

Because they sat in silence and were still confused about what kind of decision to make, James and Steven finally gave their leave and let them think for a day or two in order to make the right decision.

"Father hope you can talk this over with your aunt first, then make up your mind." James said before leaving Jimmy and his family in deep confusion.

On the one hand this requests James very well for the ideals and future of Jimmy but on the other hand Aunt Santy would be very sad if let Jimmy go leave him and Sita to stay together James in his masonry.

They all fell silent and began to engage in activity with the raging brain.
