SOMETHING IS DELAYED

13 The dark past 2

As usual, Jaka smoked his kretek cigarette deeply, and exhaled casually.

"Actually Om invited you to this house, because we wanted to know where you disappeared to, 8 years ago, when the tragic tragedy happened. That's also if Jaka wants a story, if Jaka does not want a story, it's okay," said Om Seno with a curious face.

"Yes Jaka. Aunty also wanted to know how you could disappear, and we couldn't find it at that time," Aunty Ratih said curiously.

Jaka also saw the hopeful face of Om and his aunt.

"Okay, Om, Auntie, I'll tell you everything. Everything I've been through, until I get to this GIG." Jaka said, sipping his coffee, then smoking his cigarette deeply, and exhaling casually.

"When that tragic tragedy happened, frankly I didn't know. I'm still at school, at my favorite high school in town X, and I live in a student dormitory. After about 6 months, from that incident, I passed the 1st general grade of the school, and the middle school, as well as getting a charter of appreciation, and a diploma. Which I was confused at the time Om, Auntie.

All the parents and guardians of the Junior High School students came to school. But Papa and Mama, none of them came, attended diploma-sharing events, and awards charters.

I was going home, Om, Auntie. But the Headmaster forbade me, and asked me to attend the event, with the Headmaster, who became my guardian," Jaka said, wiping away the tears that soaked his cheeks.

Om and his aunt were crying.

"After the event was over, I was called to the Headmaster's office, and the School apologized to me, for keeping secret, for the tragic tragedy. I insisted on going home to the city of Z, with 2 envelopes, which contained my savings, and an extra as a gift, and as a sign of apology. I don't count the money anymore, because I put it in the bag with clothes" Jaka said, sobbing.

"I rode in the car that the Headmaster had prepared, to take me to my destination. I also arrived in front of Papa Om's house, but fenced home there is the inscription HOUSE IS CONFISCATED AND IN BANK SUPERVISION, with the gate is padlocked from the outside.

I'm confused, too, Om." Said Jaka.

"The driver asked. Dek, actually Adek is going where the hell?

In a state of confusion, confusion, and chaos, I decided.

Please take me to the mother market, sir.

he also drove me to the mother market. Then ask, stop where is Deck?

I don't know sir. I'm a kara, and there's no family sir. My parents are dead, and our house was confiscated by the bank. Wait a minute Deck, the father got out of the car to a shop, then returned to the car, then ran the car, and stopped his car, behind the market, to someone who is walking.

Coincidentally being asked was Mr. Kosim, Om. Who has a rented bed.

I'm Kosim sir, who you're looking for. Let Mr. Slamet stop by the house first. After parking the car, Mr. Slamet dropped off, and went to Mr. Kosim's house. The two of them chatted at length, about what we meant, and the purpose of our arrival was to look for it. I finally got a contract.

"How many months is it?" ask Aunt.

"Initially Rp200,000 Aunty, but earlier this year rose Rp50,000."Answer Jaka.

"Now we are breathing again yes," asked Om Seno.

"Stying on that TV, there's an ad," continued Om Seno, smiling.

"Just a minute, Auntie comes in first. Want through advertising," always.

Jaka immediately smiled, lighting a kretek cigarette, and continued to sip coffee.

"Tante also came with a tray, containing a plate of hot boiled yams, Ayoo, Jaka tipped his boiled yam, mumpung still angel. Delicious lhoo," said Aunty.

"So try one, while drinking coffee, and smoke his cigarette. There is one unique taste sensation, which cannot be expressed in words. He took another one, drank coffee, and smoked his cigarette.

Bener Tan, it tastes good." Jaka said with a smile.

"Want to add another coffee?" said Aunt.

"Mau dong Aunty, but yams boiled her, plus also yes Tan," request Jaka.

While throwing away his kretek cigarette butts, and lighting a new one.

"I also want to add the coffee," said Om Seno.

"Yes Mas Seno, be patient." replied Aunty.
