“Bere (red: Nephew), eat first.” Utter
“Thank you bone (red:paman).” replied Marsel
Marsel ate the gumak noodles voraciously. He had indeed been extremely hungry due to the long journey he had gone through within the forbidden forest.
“Marsel, what's in your left hand?”ask a curious
“Owh. I was walking with a friend to Tomok bone. I saw a very nice ring. So I bought this ring for reminiscence’ujar Marsel lied
“Owhh. Have you done your college work?”ask Ucok
“Bone.”
“Then, istrahatlah bere. Bones back on duty again yes.”
“Care bones.”
Ucok left the house and let Marsel rest. The residence of Marsel is a very simple residence. He was raised in a simple way. Every day his parents lived in this humble residence. Both of his parents educated Marsel to live a simple and not arrogant life.
At the age of 18, his parents plan to take him to their luxury villa and introduce all of his parents' businesses to Marsel. But when Marsel was ten, he lost both his parents who died in a plane crash. As a child who had been educated modestly, Marsel took care of Ucok as his own son. So Ucok has been taking care of Marsel like his own son for seven years.
Marsel immediately spoke to the system in his mind.
“Clever, what should I do for all this wealth?”ask Marsel
“In my opinion, sir bought them agricultural tools so that they could cultivate their crops well.” Clever answered in his mind
“A very good proposal. Tomorrow I'll take my friends to see the farmers. Clever, I'm sleeping first. I'm tired.”
Then Marsel slept soundly as soon as he laid his body on his bed.
The next day, Marsel came to school as usual. Marsel conveyed his wishes to Dapot and Butet.
“Dapot, Butet, I'll go to Palipi later. I want to meet the farmers. Do you want to come?”marsel asked the two of them after the advanced Mathematics lesson ended.
“I can't come. I have activities with my family.”ujar Butet
“I also can not join the Cell. I must accompany my father to welcome tourists who come from Germany.”ujar Dapot
“Good. I'll just go by myself.”
After school, Marsel went to the Palipi area. At breakfast, Marsel told his uncle that he was going to Palipi to meet with the bones of Nathan, Ucok's younger brother.
“Ya has been careful yes bere.” said Ucok gave advice
“Good bones”
Ucok gave enough money for Marsel's trip to Palipi.
Marsel traveled by boat for an hour and after that he took a motorbike taxi to James's bone house.
“Hallo bones. How are you?” marsel said he greeted a middle-aged man who was planting rice
“Ah. You turned out to be Marsel. What need did you come here for?”nathan asked Marsel
“I want to go for a bone walk. The Leaf where is the bone?”marsel asked looking for the only daughter of his bones
“Ah... directly the Tiur that you are looking for, not this bone of yours.” Nathan said jokingly
“Ha.ha.ha. If you've been successful, new uncle let you date your pariban (red:nephew) it.”
“Ah this bone is not fun. It's okay –what I'm close to now with si Tiur.”
“Iya.iya...I know son. So you're just looking for Tiur to come all the way yesterday? “thya James
“It's not just that it's bone. How does income from planting rice during this bone?”tanya Marsel stood on the edge of the rice field while looking at his bones planting one by one rice seedlings
‘Ah. that's how bere. Rainfall is good. But at harvest time, uncle had to rent expensive rice broaching machine . In addition, the bones do not have a rice processing machine. If the rice is processed into rice, surely the price of bone rice will sell expensive.”curhat Nathan
“If I help the bones and residents here to provide rice broiler machine and rice processing machine and , is the bone willing?”ask Marsel
“Ah.. are you serious bere?”
“I'm serious bone. But I want to ask how the bone plan so that all residents get the same benefits, but even bones can benefit from providing the machine for them.” asked Marsel
“How about this bere. Bones will set up a cooperative save loan Mars, then if there are funds, bere invest in the cooperative. Then every farmer who wants to use both machines, must pay rent 20 percent of their total income.”
“Good bone capsule. “
“Then how much Ucok will give for investment in cooperatives later bere?”ask Nathan
“Not a Ucok bone that wants investment but I myself.”ujar Marsel
“Ah you are kidding bere. You haven't worked yet. How do you invest? At least you should have money of 1 billion rupiah for initial capital. Bones are not sure you have that much money.”, Nathan said
“Is this enough bone?”marsel asked while removing from his jacket the wealth he obtained from the sacred forest yesterday
Nathan was very surprised to see the contents of the bag that Marsel gave him. Inside there are various jewelry that if exchanged, the value is estimated to reach one billion rupiah.
“Where did you get this much treasure from bere?”nathan asked curiously
“Please keep this a secret from the Ucok bone huh. I went to the sacred forest yesterday. I went into the forest because I saw a bright light coming from the forest. I walked towards the beam and after getting there, I found the human skull and this treasure beside the skull.”ujar Marsel explained innocently
Nathan didn't ask any further. James knew that the sacred forest held many mysteries. Nathan had never been in that forest. But he heard a long time ago from the story of the oppung (red:kakek) from his father that there was once a rich man who escaped from the pursuit of Japanese soldiers and entered the forest
“Maybe this treasure belongs to the runaway rich man. I better not ask any further. The important thing is now that I have the money to set up a cooperative, buy a rice broiler machine and a rice processing machine; that's the most important thing now.”batin Nathan is happy
“Thank you ya bere. Bones are excited now. Let's go to the house.”ujar Nathan while out of the rice field and leave the seeds in the rice field
After clearing himself, Nathan and Marsel walked towards the mountains. Nathan's house is only five hundred meters from the location of the rice field.
“Daddy.. Why are you home? Tiur just wanted to bring provisions for father's lunch.”ujar the sweet girl to her father
“Ka..kamu Marsel right?”ask Niur
“Hallo pariban . How are you?”ask Marsel
“Ih... don't want me to be your pariban. Realize. You are poor, ugly, short, not my level.”ujar Niur demeaning Marsel.
