"Holy! Holy ones!" shouted a middle-aged woman in a duck cage.
"What's up, Bude? Howling to scream."
"That's your father!"
"Why with dad?"
"Hurry you're home now!"
The saint hurried to wash his hands. After making sure the door of the cage made of bamboo was perfectly closed, he rushed out of the place.
Her name is Suci, a twenty-year-old girl who daily works as a livestock feeder owned by a businessman who is quite famous in his hometown. He has a jovial, firm and independent nature.
Suci himself was the eldest of three brothers. Both of his brothers are still in school. One was sitting on the Junior High School bench, while the youngest was just sitting on the SD bench. The mother died shortly after giving birth to the youngest and two years ago the father remarried a one-child widow whose age was only one year adrift of her.
Having a mother does not necessarily make her life better. On the contrary, the father's new wife often causes problems for him. As insensitive to the income of the father only working as a cattle-seeking laborer, the stepmother actually has a lifestyle like a socialite. He never thought long to owe which of course only he used for his personal needs and his biological children who are now continuing their education at a university in the city of Y.
The distance from the cattle pen to his house is quite far, about one kilometer. By walking half-run, of course, both can arrive faster at the house. Brick-walled house, the floor is still ground.
"Mr!" he strangled when he found the man he loved so much that he fell down on the ground. His face looked bruised indicating that he had just been beaten. Yes, the culprit is none other than two heavy-bodied debt collectors who stand with their waists in the middle of the door of his house.
"Sacred Brother!"
Seeing the coming of the Holy One, his two younger sisters who had been hiding in the house immediately came out and poured into his arms. He could catch the fear on his face.
"You don't have to be afraid, there's mbak," he entertained.
"Why did you hurt my father 'huh!" he shouted at the two fierce-looking men.
"It has been three months Widya's mother did not pay the debt installment. Today is the last limit on installment payments" explained one of the men.
"Debit?"
"Yes. Ms. Widya has mortgaged this house worth tens of millions. According to the contents of this agreement, if within three consecutive months the borrower does not pay the loan installment and interest, then we are entitled to confiscate this house." Another man chimed.
Suci seized the blue-colored map that was in the grasp of one of the burly men and then read the letter of agreement in it. Sure enough, three months ago her stepmother borrowed twenty million dollars with their place of residence as her guarantee.
"Excession!" muttered.
"How do you have the money to pay that debt?" ask one of the men.
"Where do I get that kind of money in seconds. Am I a magician?"
The two men looked at each other.
"If within a week you cannot pay this debt, you must leave this house!" threaten the tattooed man.
"Yes. I promise. One more week I'll pay this debt with interest!" resolute Sacred.
"Alright, watch out if you break your promise!"
"Yes already, go there! Don't make my sisters even more scared!"
The two debt collectors then left the house.
"Why do you have to promise to pay off your mother's debt next week, Nduk? Where do you have money from?" ask the father.
"I can't bear to see you beaten up like this."
"Where now do women not know themselves? It's good that someone wants to marry a one-child widow like her. This work is just troublesome," the female grumble called budhe was annoyed.
"So mom said she wanted to go to Rina's house." The Pure Sister chimed in.
"It seems rich people are making money. But the debt on the loan shark just hands off!"
Not long after someone showed up .
"What's this about? How's rame-rame?" tanyakanya.
"Durrect wife! Looky. Because of what you did my brother got beaten up by debt collectors!" exclaim that woman named Tini.
"Why is this Tini? I just came by nyerocos that?" widya protest.
"Do you really owe a loan shark twenty million? What kind of money do you use for?" ask the father.
"I owe it to buy a motorcycle for Siska in town. He is embarrassed every day to take a transport if he leaves for his campus," Widya said lightly.
"So, for Siska's sake I want to embarrass Mom's own family? So, if we're really kicked out of this house, where are we going to live?" Holy chiming.
"We? If I were easy. Just go to town. I can stay at Siska's boarding house. Now she has a rich boyfriend, so there is no need to bother paying for college or paying rent. It is you, the village and only the SMP. Where there are men who want to be with you."
"Most of your little girls are selling themselves in the city. In this day and age, where are men willing to support others unconditionally?" tini Cibir.
"This Tini sir if you like to talk! Accusing without evidence is tantamount to slandering!"
"Here, don't make any more noise. Embarrassed to hear the neighbors" the man named Bimo.
"Your kids are the ones with most mouths. I knew she never liked me. So whatever I do is always wrong in her eyes."
"What you did was wrong. Now all we have to think about is how to pay off that debt. I don't want this house to be taken by loan sharks." Holy chiming.
"Even if something goes wrong, it's your father. If only he had a good job and a lot of money, I wouldn't owe him here and there" Widya said.
"You already know how Bimo is doing. He was a three-child widower, and his job was only a grass-finding labourer. From the beginning you who are always nervous tease him. If you know after marriage you only make it difficult, it is better for him to marry Fatimah. It's beautiful, mannered again. Unlike you who like to be rebellious and difficult to manage," said Tini.
"ah! Talking to Ms. Tini just makes my blood pressure go up!" widya Gerrutu.
"If your high blood pressure goes up, at most you stroke and die." Tini chuckles.
"God. Now even nyukahin dead. The first one who died because of most sins. I love to interfere in people's household affairs!"
Widya passed from in front of Tini and then stroked into the house.
"Oh Allah, Bimo. Having a wife is like this. Same with Mirna."
Bimo took a breath.
"The bad nature of Widya was only visible after we got married, Ma'am," he said.
"The problem now is how to get twenty million dollars in a week?"
ask Tini.
