THE FORBIDDEN TREASURE
Episode 3
“Den.“
“No, Ma! No!”
Ardy kept shouting like an infidelity man. While the Mbok, slowly, trying to approach the body of his master's child is increasingly weakened. “Den Ardy's. Conscious, Den.” The Mbok patted Ardy's cheek.
Ardy opened his eyes. “Blood ... blood ... my head is bleeding, Mbok!” Holding his head and looking at his palm. “Blood ... where is the blood?"
The Mbok was astonished. “What blood, Den? Aden is nothing, really. Maybe Aden dream?” said the Mbok trying to resuscitate.
“Dreams? Oh, thank goodness. But was it really just a dream? Not possible!“ Ardy looked around. “Astaghfirullah .. I'm bad luck! No shabuh prayers!”
His heart was relieved because the incident was just a sleeping flower. The young man's body was sweating.
“What time is it, Mbok?” tanya Ardy turned to look at the old woman who had just
watching while smiling. “Jam six in the morning, Den,” replied the Mbok.
Again he smiled. Make Ardy's bed. While his employer's son immediately went to the bathroom.
“Ardy is up, Mbok?” lady Amanda asked as the maid passed through the living room, where she was
sitting and reading the morning newspaper. “Already, Mistress. Den Ardy is taking a shower,” replied the Mbok.
“Ya, already. Please prepare breakfast for the children, yes, Mbok?” ms. Amanda said back without seeing the figure of her old maid. “Good, Mistress,” replied the Mbok passed to the kitchen.
Mr. Karyadi, Mrs Amanda's husband, emerged from the room. The middle-aged man was already tidy with work clothes. “What news is there this morning, Ma?” he saw his wife reading the newspaper. “Yes, please. Floods, demonstrations, brawls, and politics. Really boring,” replied Mrs Amanda half lazy to answer Mr. Karyadi's question earlier.
“How is my das? It's tidy, right?” Mr. Karyadi corrected the circular tie.
Mrs Amanda put the papers down. Then she turned to watching her husband. “Today Papa must be busy again huh? It's another night, right?” ask Mrs Amanda as she approached Mr. Karyadi, helping to tidy up the tie. “Today there was a meeting with Papa's colleagues from Germany. Maybe we'll continue the dinner with Papa's guests.”
“Always so? When, the hell, is Papa not busy? Once on leave, Pa. Your health, right, more importantly,” Lady Amanda tried to advise. “Everything Papa does, right, for the sake of family too? Yes, make Mama and kids.”
“But if this continues, Mama is afraid that Papa will fall ill.” Lady Amanda looked into her husband's eyes.
“Let's try, deh, take leave.”
“Appointment?”
“Papa.”
“Hust!”
“Yes, huh! For Mama.“
“Acot just me?”
“Kids too, dong.”
Lady Amanda smiled and peeked at her husband's cheek.
“Mama is like a young man,” said Mr. Karyadi returned the smile of his wife. “Lho, really can't?” ask Mrs Amanda.
“Of course that's what Papa expects every day, Darling.”
Lady Amanda pinched Mr. Karyadi's small arm, then the two immediately headed towards the dining room.
While Ardy is done preparing. A little later, the young man joined the family to enjoy breakfast.
That day everything felt so beautiful. The atmosphere of a home full of peace.
“Come Nola, Rezky, Ardy. Finish the food immediately. It's noon, here. Later you are late to school, you know,” said Mr. Karyadi to children.
“Ardy left first, Ma,” said Ardy saying goodbye while kissing both cheeks Madam Amanda. His younger siblings, Nola and Rezky, followed.
“Be careful at school yes, dear,” said Mrs Amanda.
Mr. Karyadi got up from his seat. “Depart first, yes, Ma.”
“Back not too late, Pa.”
“I'm working on.“
Mr. Karyadi kissed the wife's cheek, then stepped in front of the house, ushered in Lady Amanda then.
“Come, Dong, Pa. It's too late, nih,” cried the youngest Rezky with a spoiled voice in the Mercedes Benz car. Mr. Karyadi smiled at her behavior. “Propay, Dear. Papa is also sprawling, nih.” Mr. Karyadi opened the front door of the vehicle and immediately went inside. Once everything was ready, Mang Sapri, the family's private driver immediately ran the vehicle.
“Daaahhh, Mama!” Rezky and Nola waved at Madame Amanda who was standing in front of the house. The middle-aged woman replied with a smile.
Slowly the luxury sedan left the courtyard of a luxurious and magnificent house
Lady Amanda went back inside the house. When I returned to the dining room, it was clean
and neat. Mbok Inah has cleaned up the former breakfast. Lady Amanda looking for her old maid figure, “Mbok .... “
Mbok Inah who was washing dishes used breakfast of his employer's family, came to “Nyonya call me?” tanya Mbok Inah.
“Availability in the kitchen is up, yes, Mbok? Today, Mbok wants to go to the market, right?”
“Iya, New.”
“This is a list of groceries to buy. This ... the money,” Lady Amanda handed a piece of paper and a sheet of money to Mbok Inah. “Taxi ride home, huh? If less, will be paid once at home.”
“Good, New.”
“Take all of Mang Kurdi,” continued Mrs Amanda. That means Mang Kurdi family gardener.
“Kan, usually also the same Mang Kurdish, Nya.”
“O, yes? How, I forgot, huh?”
“But .... “
“Aparticularly?”
“I want to talk to Madam for a moment.”
“Speaking what?”
“Anu ... Madame .... “
“Call it.”
The old maid took her breath for a moment. Madam Amanda noticed the look on Mbok Inah's face
bowed down, like a heavy heart to say the intent of his heart. “Speaking what, Mbok?” ask Mrs Amanda to come back.
The housemaid who has served Mr. Karyadi's family for decades raised his face. Dare not look into his master's eyes. “I have a daughter. He wants to work here too. Poor, long unemployed in the village. Besides, I'm often a little troubled if working alone, Him. Understand, it's old, maybe?” said Mbok Inah stammered.
There is a shame in saying it all.
“How old is Mbok's child?”
“New twenty-five years, Mistress.”
“Have married?”
“Janda without kids, New. It has been a long time that her husband left her with no news at all,” Mbok Inah replied slowly. “One-time pity. It's been a long time that Mbok's son's husband left?” ask Mrs Amanda to come back. Apparently rather interested in the story about his son Mbok Inah.
“More or less ... it has been five years, Madam,” replied Mbok Inah. Madam Amanda raised her eyebrows. Dramatic! At that age, she was already a widow.
“How, Mistress?” mbok Inah asked back while remaining down, embarrassed. “I'll talk to my husband first, okay? I dare not decide anything without his consent. Just wait for the next news, huh?” said Mrs Amanda at last.
Mbok Inah breaths “Alright then. Excuse me to go to the market first, Madam,”, Mbok Inah said goodbye.
Madam Amanda rushed to leave the maid Intermittent the middle-aged woman was seen frowning while grimacing in pain.
“Yes, God! What disease am I suffering from?” muttered Lady Amanda. His sight began to twitch.
In recent days, Mrs Amanda has had frequent headaches. Dizziness accompanied by a blurred vision. It used to be just a regular headache. Even after taking the medicine, the pain did not go away. Her husband and son did not know that. Worried, they will feel sad and panicked.
Lady Amanda staggered into the room. After arriving inside, immediately lie down on the mattress while grimacing. While from the middle room, Mbok Inah continued to watch the employer run down.
After her figure disappeared behind the bedroom door, then the old maid immediately passed from there.
Madam Amanda is still grimacing in pain. Slowly his eyes began to fade. Until finally, the woman was unconscious on the bed. Anyone who saw Ms. Amanda's condition like that, must have thought that the woman was asleep. But actually not.

Ahead afternoon ....
Ardy, Nola and Rezky sat pensively in front of the school gate. Waiting for a family car. Momentarily Nola complained while stomping her legs in annoyance. The vehicle that was waiting has not arrived.
“Just taxi, Deh, Kak,” Rezky said. It seems to have begun to run out of patience. Ardy turned to the boy. “Wait a minute. Maybe the streets are jammed again,” replied Ardy calmly. In fact, honestly he was equally saturated.
“Removed, until when, dong, are we here? We are beggars asking for alms, what? Huh!” Nola spoke up.
Ardy did not answer. His gaze was fixed on a figure in a gray white uniform who was walking towards the three of them. “Sarah .. kok, not home yet?” ask Ardy on the girl.
SERIATE
