THE FORBIDDEN TREASURE

Episode 1's

The morning was still shrouded in thick fog as Ardy opened his eyelids, from his deep sleep last night. Although the drowsiness was still felt, but he tried to get out of bed. Repeating the desire to lie back when you see the clock is already showing at five o'clock.

After yawning for a while, Ardy rushed out of his room.

“Yes, God! It's so dark, anyway?” guman Ardy saw the living room was still pitch dark.

With great difficulty, he fumbled through the walls looking for the light switch. Until Ardy finds what he's looking for.

Czechoslovakia!

The room was brightly lit by lights hanging beautifully on the ceiling of the house.

Ardy breathed a sigh of relief.

“Den, already awake apparently.” A voice from behind surprised him.

“Astaghfirullah!" ardy yelled, turning his body around.

An old body stood not far from him. “Mbok, ngagetin aja, deh,”ujar Ardy after recognizing the figure that greeted him.

An old woman and short in stature, her maid. “Sorry, Den. Mbok ndak on purpose,” said Mbok chuckled showing some of his remaining teeth. “One more time, mbok sorry yes, Den.”

Ardy smile. “Already ... it's okay, kok, Mbok.”

“Aden want to shower?” asked the old woman after a moment of silence.

“Yes, it's still morning. Anyway, I haven't prayed Fajr.”

“Mbok provide warm water huh?”

“No need, Mbok. Ready for breakfast in the morning. If it's too late again kayak karen, Mama can be angry.”

“But Den, if Madam to see Aden prepare hot water himself, later the Mbok who will be scolded,” said the old woman hesitated.

“Mbok not to worry, deh. I'll tell my mom myself. Well, now Mbok to the kitchen alone, mumpung Mama and Papa are not awake yet,” said Ardy slowly.

Although still afraid and doubtful, the Mbok according to.

“Yes God, that boy is so good. Much different from both parents and other children,” muttered the old woman after moving away, “but what a pity .... “

The Mbok's words came to a halt as Ardy's figure emerged from behind the kitchen door.

“Lho .. kok, even daydreaming, anyway?” the young man asked slowly with a smile.

“Eh, Aden. Endak, Mbok just want to rest for a while while waiting for the rice to cook,“ replied the Mbok pretend to be busy.

“Mbok salat not yet?” ask Ardy back.

“Numbered, Den. Just later. Mbok afraid, later Madam angry if the rice is not mature,” kilah the Mbok scared.

Ardy shakes. “Already, Mbok. Salad was there. Let me wait for the prize,” said Ardy at last.

The Mbok was aghast. “Do not, Den! Later the Mbok who will get angry Madam.”

“Mbok more afraid of Mama or the same God? Hhmm?”

“It is not so, Den. But .... “

“Already. If Mama's angry, let me talk later. Anyway the Mbok calm down, deh, yes?”

The old woman thought for a moment. Finally he nodded slowly, accompanied by a bitter smile.

“Do not, Brother! It's so nice for him to relax, while Brother works in the kitchen!” a voice suddenly belonged to a girl behind Ardy. “Kak Ardy thought, dong! Her sister is her maid, what?”

“Nola! You're awake apparently.” Ardy turned to his sister.

“Ngapain, anyway, Brother should help him all? He, right, works here!” nola is back.

The Mbok rubbed his chest. Suddenly it hurts.

Ardy continued, “Mbok is also a human being. Just like we are. Moreover, his age is much older than Kak Ardy and you. So it is appropriate that we respect the Mbok.”

“Huh! Everywhere is also a maid, yes ... maid, sister! Workman!” nola shouted as she hurriedly left them. The old woman looked sad.

“Nola!” call Ardy. The girl ignored.

The young man could only breathe. While the Mbok is pensive with his face still down. Attended by him while saying slowly, “I apologize for Nola's attitude yes, Mbok. It's all my fault.“

“Endak, Den. Aden is innocent. This is one of Mbok himself, kok.”

“No, it's my fault. Now Mbok pray first, huh? Mama is not awake yet,“ said Ardy while holding the shoulder of an old woman who has been for decades, serving in the family home Ardy.

The Mbok looked at the young man's face with eyes that were difficult to interpret. He may be happy or he may be happy. I don't know.

There were clear droplets coming out of that old eye patch. Flowing profusely down her wrinkled cheeks.

Ardy wiped the tears of the loving Mbok. It's not like a child to a beloved mother.

Finally, the Mbok also complied. The old body went to fetch water. While Ardy stayed in the kitchen, waiting for the penanakan. Perih saw the attitude and treatment of his family on the Mbok. They are old, and have no family. He has served for a long time. Of course, there are also many services that have been instilled in the family. Why is it treated that way. Is it only the young people who still have empathy for him?

Ardy felt that Mbok had a big secret and wanted to tell him all about it. However, like always hindered by something so heavy to do that.

I don't know, Ardy himself never asked Mbok to talk. Maybe someday? Or will time answer later?

“It's ripe, Den?” ask the Mbok. Apparently it has finished carrying out the duty of prayer Fajr.

Ardy. “Oh, Mbok. Already settled?” Ardy even asked without answering the question Mbok earlier. Long also sat there pensively, until not realizing the presence of the Mbok.

“Already. Aden is now bathing there,” said the Mbok while checking the rice breeder. “Thank you yes, Den.”

“Ya, already. I take a shower, deh.”

“Please, Den.”

Ardy rushed to the bathroom, with a bone-chilling coldness. All is ignored. That morning was so sad. Until the water is frozen.

After bathing and ablution, Ardy immediately performed the Fajr prayer service. Continue to clean the bedroom. Finally, wear a school uniform. While waiting for the bright day, open the textbook. Until time doesn't seem to pass. The clock almost showed at six. Simultaneously, a figure of Nola appeared in the doorway of the room.

Feeling someone was watching, Ardy turned his head. “What's up, Dek?” asked Ardy to tease the sister. Nola smiled. “Told Mama breakfast first, Brother,” she replied. Ardy raised his eyebrows.

The usual!

“Iya, a minute yes, Princess. Slave finish first school textbook,” replied Ardy while getting up from the seat. “Biarin aja, Brother. Kan, there is this Mbok who will finish,”, said Nola a little protest.

“Huss, that Mbok, right, has a lot of work. This is my own job, anyway. If you can do it yourself, why should you ask others for help?” reply Ardy.

“Kakak always ngebela him. Bodo, ouch! Nola wants breakfast first,” exclaimed Nola as it passed. Ardy shook his head at his sister's attitude. “Nola ... Nola ... when, anyway, do you want to change, Dek?” muttered Ardy alone. Of course, it won't sound Nola.

In the dining room there was a loud voice of Mama, like she was yelling. Ardy rushed out of the room. Justright. Mama is scolding the Mbok.

The old woman could only be silent. He bowed without daring to speak a word.

Ardy. “Ma .... “ Ardy interrupts. “What? You want this Old Bangka Belain again?” mama asked with her eyes full of anger.

“Sorry, Mom. Ardy is not willing to defend the Mbok, but want to explain something.“

“What's clear? You want to find a maid to replace him, huh?” ask Mama again while pointing her index finger at the Mbok.

Ardy glanced at the old woman. Still weak. There were tears falling down her cheeks.

After taking a deep breath, Ardy continued talking, “This is all Ardy's fault, Ma.”

“What mistake? What does this have to do with rotten food?” mama's question showed me where the rice she was holding. “So morning, Ardy told Mbok to take a warm bath. Maybe because--”

“No, Mistress. Not so,“ the Mbok cut talk. Hurriedly Ardy immediately responded, “Already, Mbok. No need to extend it again. There's still work in the kitchen, right? Better Mbok finish first that task huh?” sahut Ardy did not want the Mbok to tell the truth was Fajr.
