Young Marriage (?)
23. Promises
***
The next day I went to see Helmi and apologized about last night. I promise I'll finish my job, get RT 19.
"This afternoon, Intan and I had a holiday in the early days. Go to RT 19. I was talking to Helmi, she's gonna tell Jay and Rudy to change us. Ana, you better stay on your feet, right?" I asked Ana while we were sweeping. Me, Ana, Intan and Dani are pickets today, so we're part of the finish and guard the post. Intan may be in the kitchen preparing ingredients for cooking.
"I'll go with you. Lazy to talk to Dini," said Ana. Kasian, we also left him. But no one will teach you later if Ana comes with us.
"Aja and I went to Mr. RT's house. You're the one who taught me," sampuk Intan who emerged from the kitchen.
"That's fine, too" I replied.
PLUCKKKK!
Tibatiba Rio came to throw a book and right hit Intan's head.
"Aww!" Intan. Too late to complain about it. Wkwk
After that Rio left just like that.
It's amazing that he's here, not anymore in SD. Uh but it's through dzuhur. Maybe they're home.
"Ish Rio you're what the hell. Not polite! You think Intan's head is the place to throw jumrah? It's not Hajj oyy!" angry shout. "Tan, are you okay?" I asked Intan. There is no point in yelling at Rio, he has also disappeared.
"Yes, Fa. Look me!" intan said while showing the book that Rio threw earlier.
There was writing that shocked us and looked at each other.
"RT NINETEEN!" we screamed in shock and confusion plus pleasure.
That book turned out to contain nineteen RT citizen datadata. Geez, where did Rio get it from? How did he get it? Why would he do this? The question came to my mind. It seemed in the minds of Intan and Ana as well.

As usual, we had an evaluation.
"Because everything is complete so now we can compile our work program," said Helmi.
Hani glanced at me, seemingly surprised that the RT19 data already existed.
"I've read all the RT data of this village. The average citizen here school to SD because there is no Junior High School. SMP is far away in the village next door. In addition to these limitations, it seems that residents still adhere to the tradition of marriage at an early age. What I saw was a lot of children a dozen years old already married. No way, I support a real young marriage. But that does not mean ignoring education.
Later maybe teachers can give advice on this issue.
In terms of economy, actually this village has great potential to advance in the economic field. The livelihoods of the average citizen are farming and convection. The agricultural products of this village are not utilized to the maximum. I asked some residents, he said many cassava that likes to be wasted inedible. It can be used to increase income. Can we process. Suppose we make a cooking demo program processed cassava food.
And for the convection business, from this convection a lot of wasted fabric remains, it can still be used to make a veil decoration or something. We can create a training program on this to the citizens later.
For health problems, honestly, this village is lacking once. There is no doctor. If treatment should go to the district. Faraway. Maybe public health children will be able to give advice," explained Intan at length.
Huaaa I barely breathed to hear her long explanation.
"Let's consider it, Tan. Is there anything else? Teacher or general has any advice?" ask Helmi.
"For health issues. We may be able to hold free health checks for citizens. Or conduct health counseling. And preferably not just for parents, but for children as well. Motivate them to become doctors. That way, the problem of education can be at least helped by this program. Children want to go to high school to become doctors. But the thing is, it needs big funds for this. We must work with hospitals to make it easier for us to realize this program. And it's not easy to find hospitals that want to work together" said Rio, who is a student majoring in public health.
I raise my hand for interruption.
"What's going on, Asyifa? Do you want permission for the wc or what?" ask Helmi.
Oh my God, this Helmi sucks.
"You go to the wc, too. But now you can talk?" my answer.
"What by the way?"
"Hmm actually my brother's a doctor. If you want, I can ask him if the hospital has CSR or not. If not, then I can ask for his help to conduct counseling here," I said.
"Your handsome son is a doctor? Yes Tuhaan. Get to know me Fa!" neli tibatiba.
"Nel, we're serious again." Helmi reminded. "Okeh Syif can too. So it can save our expenses," continued Helmi.
"On education can you give me advice? Arini and I talked about this yesterday. How about we create a program called 'education workshop', the goal is of course to improve education in this village," he explained. Tired of being a commoner who just kept quiet. I also want to contribute more, not just silent mangosteen.
"Hmm can too. Others have other suggestions about the program we'll be doing here?"
After that, one by one, he began to express his opinion. Until finally agreed some programs that we will do.
After the meeting was over we broke up.
"Rio wait!" I said to Rio as he was going home to the man who was next to the woman's contract.
"Still for the RT19 data. Btw, where did you get that from?" my many.
"Chairman RT19."
"When did you meet him?"
"Yesterday night," he answered flatly. Not that he talked to me yesterday. Was he gone after that?
"Only?" I just can't believe it.
"No. Accompanied by the night star" he answered.
What kind of answer is that.
"Hmm yealah. Anyway I'm very grateful. What am I supposed to do to get back at your services? Just say it."
"Enough to keep your promise" he replied.
"Which promise?" many confused. When I promised him.
"Yesterday night" he answered and left.
Aishhh he often goes tibatiba. What promise did I make with him yesterday? I don't feel like I promise anything.

A few days have passed. We've been here for a week. And we've started running our program.
Btw, for a few days I still wonder what I promised Rio. Every time I asked him he never answered. Though my question is not as difficult as a repeat of marketing management because of all case examples. It does not count at all, mumet really write the answer is like writing essay only.
Aishhh forget about marketing. Back to Rio. He really meant what yes. Does he like me? Ah, it's impossible. But what if he likes me? Uhh I've got Arsy. I am loyal.
Speaking of Arsy. He can't come to see me yet. How regrettable. We only talk on the phone. Good thing the XYZ operator network here is tight, very good.
I'm waiting for Intan right now. He's dropping off Icha shopping, Icha picket tomorrow.
It was late in the afternoon, it was already raining. Where shopping goes for so long.
It's almost maghrib but Intan hasn't come home yet. What Intan is in the shade time yes wait for the rain to subside. My feelings are not good.
"Fa, Intan hasn't come home yet?" ask Arini.
"Yet. He didn't bring a phone anyway, so I can't call. Looks like he's caught rain,"
reply worried.
"I'm dizzy to see you pacing back and forth. Just sitting still can't?" ask Helmi who happens to be in the post.
Shortly afterwards, a scream was heard from the kitchen. Looks like calling my name.
"I'll tell you later. Now you get me a towel and a change of clothes" Intan said.
I immediately took what he needed. After that, he rushed to take a shower.
After the shower I told her to have tea, while waiting for her to take a bath I made some sweet tea for her. We are sitting in the living room.
"Where were you?" my many.
"Hmm I'm so tired, Fa. I fell asleep first. The story later. Wake me up when I enter Maghrib time," said Intan.
He looks weird. Is he sick? Last time it rained, he ended up in the hospital. Will Intan be sick again? Oh my God, I hope not. There's no doctor here.
Shortly after Intan went to sleep, Icha came. He looks at me cynically. He is why. I was the one who wanted it to be so undo my intentions. Fearful.
But strange. He's not soaking wet like Intan.
Well, it turns out he had an umbrella. Why did he let Intan get rained on. It's so evil ish.
.
"Well, angel." Said Rio who tibatiba appeared then drank the sweet iced tea used by Intan.
"Oyy it's got Intan!" angry say.
"It should be sweet" he said, drinking the tea again. Aishh!
"The name is also sweet tea, it must be sweet" my ladybug.
Sometimes this Rio sludud too.
"Do you remember your promise?" tanyakanya.
"Which one is it?"
"Your promise to ask your parents to bless me and Intan!"
"Wuttsss!"
That one? So that's the promise he meant? Rio likes Intan?

"Cha, the shopping can't be spit, can it? It's going to rain" said Intan, who was driving Icha shopping.
"Bawel. If shopping should be chosen first. If you get an ugly vegetable later," Icha replied.
Finally after a long time of choosing, Icha finished also buying. And Intan is of course relieved. Naya if the rain on the road he thought, can be sick like that time.
"Tan, we'll stop by the side shop first. I'm gonna go get some powder!" direction Icha.
In a village far from the city, there was also someone who sold cosmetics.
"Tomorrow Cha. Dah drizzle," reject Intan.
"Just a little about Tan. You're a real stingy. Know that I didn't have to tell you to anter me earlier!" angry Icha.
Because he did not want to make a fuss, with annoyed Intan turned his motorbike to the store in question Icha.
And it's not just a little Icha at the powder store. He chose for a long time, but the inside seemed to be the same.
I don't know what kind of powder he wants.
"Tan, quickly turn on the motor. It's raining!" Icha after exit from the store.
Not yet had Intan turn on his motor, the rain that was just a little spatter turned heavy.
They had to take shelter in front of the store.
"You're melting the motor, so we're trapping the rain" angry Icha again.
Intan didn't reply to Icha's rant. Free. Waste time.
It's been a while but the rain hasn't stopped. Intan was starting to not sit up. Not happy if you wait longer. He's already cold. Plus along the wait accompanied by the heartbreaking words of Icha.
Someone is coming closer.
"Rio, you finally picked me up too. I've been cold since. Garagara Intan we're so trapping the rain," Icha fight on Rio.
Intan had made an amused face to hear Icha's whimper. Slap up!
Rio put his umbrella down. He took off his jacket and put it on Icha.
Intan is increasingly amused to see the drama that there is no romantic at all in his view.
"You're so good. Let's go home. Just leave Intan here," said Icha cynically.
Unexpectedly Rio took the motor key from Intan's hand. Then pull the diamond into the rain. Fortunately his hands were covered in cloth.
"You crazy? It's raining!" yell Intan.
Rio went up and turned on the Intan motor.
"Ride up!" its direction.
"Wouldn't. It's raining, you're crazy huh. I don't want to," refused Intan. Not just because of the rain. But because he did not want to be piggybacked by ajnabi men.
"You're wet now. Ride alone or I'll carry you up?" Threat Rio.
Intan remains petrified. Rio got off the bike and pulled him to sit down.
Now it's Icha's turn to watch the drama no matter how romantic it is.
Finally, Intan also went up.
"Cha, take my umbrella. You go home alone." Said Rio then drove away leaving the eared Icha.
.
.
The motor stops in front of the contract.
"Hurry up to take a shower and then warm yourself up" Rio said.
Intan has been throbbing.
Because his body was wet, he finally decided to enter through the kitchen just so as not to wet the floor of the house.
Intan is very cold.
"Shyfaaaa!" yelling Intan from the kitchen.
