Dadun accompanied by his two best friends, Parmin and Nanang, they continue to move to find people who want to get out of the vegetable basket group, with the lure when they farm themselves, the lives of members will be more prosperous, because the income does not have to be divided with the group.


Eventually the news of Dadun who wanted to come out took the other group members to the ears of Kamal. that afternoon, Kamal and Asep who happened to just returned home to deliver agricultural products to the supermarket supplier in the city. sitting in the saung Kamal, because his father Idan made Saung himself, so that when tired he can take shelter.because now he is not strong to stand for long, he is not strong, as a result of injuries suffered when stabbed by the villagers of sukaramah.


"What's Sep doing, your tumbens are playing to Saung Mamang?" asked Kamal while staring at the young man who was making a0k.


"There's nothing, I just want to talk and rest. You see, if you rest in the office, it feels very noisy." replied Asep while throwing smoke from his mouth.


"What's wrong, what's made coffee! incidentally, Mamang brought a thermos from home," said Kamal while pointing to a hot water storage container.


"What coffee Mang, You see if black coffee my stomach likes sore."


"You young man...!" kamal replied with a smile. "uh, Mamang just happened to buy a moccacino."


"Well, if this is me like Mang!" said Asep while taking a bag made of sacks, Kamal stock container. then he took a packet of sachet coffee. "Want to coffee again?" asep asked as he glanced towards Idan's parents.


"May, you see if at home can't be the same Aunt, if in the office can't be the same Idan!" answer Kamal.


Finally Asep began to pour two packets of sachet coffee, one into a glass, the other into the lid of the flask. Then he poured hot water, so that it looks turbulent, coffee, maybe squirming due to heat.


"Twenty-seven times stir well, mang. let it taste more steady," asked Asep as he twirled the spoon stirring the freshly brewed coffee.


"If you want that good, 99 times stir Sep! No less should not be more," Kamal replied with a smile.


"Ah the Mamang, can be a joke." Reply Asep with a smile then shift the stirred coffee closer to Kamal. "rok0knya Mang!" bargain Asep while removing white skirt0k letter A


"Done....! Very brave skirt0knya Sep."


"Can you give me Mang!" asep replied while smiling.


"Yes mamang also know, How could you want to buy a rok0k as expensive as this, meningan snicep tobacco with Aren leaves right?" replied Kamal who took the skirt0k giving asep, then he took one rod and burned it.


"Yes really Mang...! if for us little people, it feels a pity if to buy a skirt0k as expensive as this. Mending the money used to eat at the Padang restaurant, it is certainly full let alone use an omelet, can break the stomach." replied Asep reply to Kamal's joke.


They are both caught up in conversations about work and daily life, although Asep is still young, but since joining Fathan and can bring a car, so that he began to be able to adapt to the crowd, when chatting he will be very connected, like adults in general.


"Honestly, what are you doing here?" asked Kamal on the sidelines of his conversation, because since then Asep has not conveyed his purpose.


"Look at Mang...! We have been with Kang Fatan for almost 2 years. During that time, I have considered Kang Fatan as my own brother, even as a teacher in my life, family life that was initially very deficient, now thank God enough.even my father who was quite sickly, did not have to bother working to dig a well people. because I, my father, was sick, Thank God you can meet the needs of the father and mother, without having to monitor like other people." replied Asep began to review a little about his past.


"Continue?"


"As Mang Kamal knew, I was only a graduate of elementary school.it was nothing to be proud of, as I was ranked first from the back.but when I met Kang Fathan, when I met Kang Fathan, my weakness was covered, so that people who had just met me, they did not consider me that stupid.Thanks to Kang Fathan also I could bring a car, drive a variety of agricultural equipment. it was amazing, first, let alone bring a car, I don't even think I dare."


"Look at Mang! Mamang had heard yet about Kang Dadun with Kang Parmin and Kang Nanang, who were about to get out of the vegetable basket group?" asep asked starting to explain the subject.


"Heard directly yet, but if the news of birds, mamang have heard." explained Kamal.


"Does Kang Fathan know this?"


"I guess not yet, You're always busy dealing with videos, and orders that come in from supermarkets and markets."


"Thank God then! I'm afraid this will add to the burden of our chairman's mind."


"Yes sometimes Mamang like pity with Fathan. His parents still do not want to accept his success, plus see the sometimes inconsistent agriculture, which is sometimes affected by pests, and the, although it can be overcome but still requires thinking that is very time consuming, and draining."


"Really Mang! if I pay attention to Kang Fatan every day, every time there is nothing wasted.for the sake of thinking about the progress of the members of the vegetable basket group, but we as loyal people as he, he said, We should think of helping as much as we can, as much as we can, lest everything be borne by Kang Fathan." said Asep who looks mature.


Hearing Asep's words, Kamal was silent as if he was digesting what was said by the vegetable basket driver. Long silent finally Kamal was seen to take a deep breath, then exhaled slowly. "Certainly Sep! actually, not only do you feel that you have a debt Budi with Fathan, even though he is young, but he is able to help Mamang pay the debt to Kang Ujang.and it is true What was conveyed by you, too, we must not keep silent, close our ears, we must help Fathan, as much as we can, as we can!' kamal said conveying his heart.


"The reason why, why do they want to get out of the vegetable basket?"


"Mamang does not understand Sep, because Mamang is also not too focused on thinking about it."


"We have to meet them Mang! before this disease spread to others, because according to Kang Fatan throw away, killing one banana tree, it is better than losing one garden."


Kamal was silent again, as if weighing the good and bad what Asep suggested, but after thinking about what was conveyed by the young man was indeed true. he must quickly move in anticipation not to spread everywhere.


"Yes already....! finish your coffee, we'll meet Kang Dadun!" kamal exclaimed as he picked up his glass, then he gulped down his coffee.


After finishing their coffee, Kamal and Asep came down from their sauces, then they both walked up the Gang Road in the plantation. On the left right side of the Gang was overgrown by plants that looked fertile. From above the sky the sun began to feel hot, because soon it was on top of the crown. Moreover, that afternoon there were no clouds in the way, making the farmers not strong with the heat.


"Where is Kang Kamal going, hot-hot like this, still hanging around?" ask one of the residents who happened to be passed by Kamal.


"You're meeting Kang Dadun!"


"You what?" asked the man, rising from his shelter, and he came to Kamal.


"You make sure the rumour that's as crazy as it's not good in a vegetable basket."


"A rumor about those who want to get out, right?" that guy made sure.


"Yes Kang...! You see, if left afraid to spread everywhere."


"Yes Kang! I also feel bad, because I am a person who has a land that is not wide, so they feel jealous because my income is the same as their income, which has a wider land.
