Promises
A month passed, finally the sukadarma village which was originally surrounded by weeds, now has changed shape to a very green garden. starting from banana trees, papaya trees, guava trees and many others, making anyone will feel at home living in the village.
That afternoon after the members returned home, Only Fathan and Kirana, who were still living in the saung, had switched functions as the Office of the Secretariat of the vegetable basket.
"Tan!" Call Kirana with her soft voice, making anyone who hears will continue to ring.
"Yes!" Fathan replied as usual with his flat face.he was indifferently focused with the papers in his hand.
"Can I ask?" ask Kirana shyly.
"What do you want to ask?"
"Can't talk anymore, don't work!" pinta Kirana pleads.
Fathan nodded, then closed the file. Then faced looking at the beautiful woman who was sitting opposite him, but there was a strange rustle on their bodies, so that the gaze was not too long clashing.
"What do you want to ask, Mom?"
"What you're feeling is still the same, as before. As you said before my parents."
"Why do you ask like that?" Fathan asked back.
"Why not answer, has it changed?"
"Not yet Ma! I'm still the old Fathan. Fathan who was always happy when mom chased me, praised me, loved me, sincerely.so do I love mom!"
"Why haven't you inaugurated me yet?"
"I apologize in advance Ma'am, not that I don't want to. but as Mother knows, now the position is no longer fit. I promise after the harvest, I will try to come to Both mother's families. To ask for their blessing back.
"Seriously?" asked Kirana with teary eyes.
"I'm not good at lying!"
"Not often!" Refuse Kirana while opening her eyes.
"For this one, I don't dare."
"Promise!" kirana said as she raised her pinky asking for a deal. Fathan quickly linked his little finger to Kirana's finger, making a strange sigh begin to come back.
Slowly their two faces approached.until the roar of breath swept across each other's faces.the longer it got closer, making Kirana close her eyes preparing to accept what her heart's adoration would do.
"Ehem! ahem! ahem!"
Dehem Kamal made them quickly release the interlocked fingers, while throwing away the face of embarrassment from being discovered.
"Other serious talk! sorry Mamang wants to keep the equipment into the warehouse" said Kamal who was still standing outside the saung door.
"No, no, we are not serious" said Fathan misbehaved.
"Can Mamang come in?" kamal asked doubtfully.
"Boleh Mang!"
After getting permission kamal entered, making the two men increasingly become misbehaved, Somehow it could be like that.
"Let's go home! Don't stay here for long, there will be ghosts." take Kamal who does not want his nephew to do things Outside Borders.
"Let's go home!" invite Fathan while reaching out to ask Kirana to get up.
Finally the three of them went home together driving a pick-up car brought by Fathan. on the way there was no chatter, suddenly Fathan became stiff with his uncle. in contrast to kirana who was blooming, because he's got reassurance from the man he's always admired.
Two weeks passed, finally the members of the vegetable basket began to be preoccupied with harvesting their agricultural products.because there are some vegetables that only take 40 days until the harvest time.such as mustard, white mustard, green mustard and pakcoy. Asep and Pak Haji Rohman whose car was rented by a group of vegetable baskets, they were busy with sending goods to the market.
Fathan continues to upload videos about agriculture to his YouTube channel account, especially now that his folower has increased, because there is Kirana as a lure.
The members were very happy, because the harvest this year was very spilled. they could produce a great rice harvest.Make them feel more prosperous when their lives follow Fathan. so that no longer Ayal citizens who initially hesitated to join, they began to register as members of the group. Fathan who was happy, did not in the least reject the membership of the citizens.
But when there are people who agree, there will certainly be people who oppose.that afternoon at the Ujang residence, seen kamal dudum on the terrace, while Ujang as usual he will sit in his throne chair.
"Why does Mal want to borrow money again?" Tanya Ujang started the conversation.
"Emang has money?" ask ujang in a cynical tone.
Kamal quickly took out a brown envelope and handed it to Ujang.
"Is this a mall?" tanya Ujang did not immediately receive the envelope.
"Money to pay off debt!"
"Everything?" tanya Ujang seemed to not believe.
"Yes it's 50 million!"
Rounding the eyes began to take out the contents of the brown envelope, then carefully he began to count it. sure enough the money amounted to 50 million. after learning that the money was in accordance with the debt that Kamal had, he quickly put it back in the envelope.
"How's it?" Kamal asked as if he was impatient.
"Mal Bag!"
"Where does my land letter go?"
"You don't want to add to the debt Mal? it's okay if you borrow 100 million. I'll give you a light interest, only half a ton per year." Ujang provides an alternative.
"No kang! I just need my land, I don't need money."
"You don't belagu mal! later if that Fathan goes bankrupt, you I will blacklist from the list of people who will borrow money. You're not afraid that I won't help you?"
"No Kang! quite a while ago I was tempted by bujug rayu Akang. for now and in the future, I will not fall into the same hole! sorry where's my land letter." Pinta Kamal who was impatient wanted to get away from that place quickly.
With a limp Ujang rose from his chair, then entered his house. shortly after that he went out while carrying a light blue map.
"Now your land letter! calm down, it's still safe in me! you don't have to worry.so I'm offering for the last time, you want to not borrow 100 million with very light interest?"
"No kang! no, I still don't!"
"Yes, your life has gone up a little, his arrogance has not gone. You poor people!" said Ujang while throwing the map he brought.
Kamal who already knew with the attitude of his neighbor, immediately he picked up the land letter scattered on the floor. After it was collected, without saying goodbye he also left the house ujang. By carrying a land letter that has long been pawned.
"Pardi! Pardiiiiii!" yelled Ujang same Pardi who was tidying up rice, interest payments from citizen loans.
"Well, what's up, Kang? no need to scream, I was there!" Ketus Pardi while heading to the side.
"Yes sorry! sorrysorry! so angry, sit on it!" yelling Ujang.
Pardi was also lazy, he sat his body where Kamal was sitting. "Why sit down, sit on top! we are brothers." exclaimed Ujang make Pardi sort forehead, do not understand what the purpose.
Pardipun remained seated in kamal's place, but immediately Ujang pulled his arm, so that he sat on the same flat chair as him.
"We are brothers, we don't have to discriminate against castes!" clearly Ujang makes Pardi increasingly clueless with what happens to his brother-in-law.
"What is this Kang! honestly, I'm working again, later in the afternoon." said Pardi without wanting to mince words.
"Lookin Par! lately I've been upset, because the ideals will be inhibited, there are distractions?" confide in Ujang with a soft tone.
"Which ideals, the ideals that changed the name of the village sukadarma so sukaujang?"
"Well one of them, but my greatest ambition is not that. I want to return all my property in-laws, your father, who has given his land to the citizens. but such ideals will be difficult to realize, because in recent days, there have been some people who redeemed the land they mortgaged. Previously Akang wanted the land to be fully owned by Akang.This plan will be as neat as possible, Akang plans one day will force debtors, to give up the absolute land. but now because of Si Fathan. like the ideals of Akang will be difficult to materialize." said Ujang.
"Oh so, how is it now?" Pardi asked as if he had not asked.
"Aren't you looking0k Pardi?" ask Ujang.
"No Kang, Kan hasn't paid!"
Ujang also issued payment money from Kamal.he quickly took some of the money and handed it to Pardi.
"For what, my salary?"
"No, no! That's for you. I haven't given your bonus for a long time. now you buy skirt0k later memenin chat again!" yelling Ujang nature that changed 180 degrees, making Pardi frowned. but he did not think too much about it, quickly he went to the nearest stall.
