Being Struggled Due to Debt
CHAPTER XII
Hearing the words of the woman who commanded security, Gabriel finally left the two of them. In his heart said “From later on I was forcibly expelled. I'd better get my foot up from here.”
Gabriel moves to the Mardika terminal to board a transport carrying passengers through his residence. However, because it was the first time to enter this terminal, until he almost went the wrong way to get to the angkot parking lot that crossed his area fortunately, he heard a screaming sound from kanek who shouted “Nari..” to attract anyone whose way home crosses nari.
***
(In the Louwenzky family home)
Hana is interrogating her daughter.
“Ayuda, do you ask me something?” Hana asked her daughter who had just woken up while putting her child in a chair.
“Ask what mom,”
“Mommy just wants to know, from where you can find out that your father and mother have outstanding debts”
“Ohhh, about it.”
“That night, when I was about to go to the kitchen for a drink. I heard my father talking on the phone with someone while he was sitting on the floor of his room. The voice from that person was very rude but, father replied to him gently. I thought it was mom, or dad's friend talking. So, I eavesdropped on their conversation outside the door. I heard the man, asking my father when he would pay off his debts. But I replied, just give me time. When the man heard the answer from the father, he returned the conversation violently, there was even a piece of swear words thrown at the father. I did not hear further of the conversation, because I had to rush to get drinking water. When I finished drinking and went back across the front of my father's and mother's room, I just heard my dad say “I'll pay off that debt as soon as possible.” Ayunda gave an answer.
“So, like that. Until you know that your parents have debt.”
“Ia mom. But, why can father and mother borrow money in people who do not father and mother know?” Ask Ayunda.
While kneeling Hana answered a question from Ayunda “You quite know that father and mother have debt. But, about the reason why father and mother should be minjam money, you do not need to know.”
After Hana finished interrogating her daughter, she went to the living room to pick up a magazine book she wanted to read. However, when his hand had just grabbed and held the magazine book that was still neatly arranged on the table shelf he was shocked by the sound of the door opening “Cekleek”. Until the book he had held slipped out of his hand.
“Good afternoon bu.” Hana's husband said with a heavy voice.
“Sore dad.” Reply Hana.
Gabriel let go of his head on the footwear that was at the front of the door and went straight inside. Hana left the book that had just fallen and went straight to her husband. Because of his thirst Gabriel asked for a glass of water from his wife. After leaving Gabriel alone, she steps into the kitchen to get some water, and she meets her husband again. He gave Gabriel water to drink. When she finished drinking, Gabriel left her husband. Long story short, the time that has been set to pay the debt has arrived.
At home Gabriel had prepared a sum of two hundred million, in order to redeem his loan.
“Tok..tok..tok” knocking sound door accompanied call from a debt collector. Gabriel hurriedly opened the door of his house.
“Good morning sir. Already have the money?”
“Already sir,” replied Gabriel.
“Mari bang, enter in” Gabriel invites Pacco and his men to enter the house. They accepted the offer, without removing their footwear, the three of them headed into the house. Gabriel, who saw that, could only accept it with a chest of air.
“This is how much it costs” asked Pacco while her hand stroked a keris attached to the wall.
“That's not for sale bang”
“If that one?” Pacco asked again. But, this time his index finger was pointed at a large plate inside which was a picture of a rooster.
“It is also not sold bang” “Not that. But, everything here I do not sell because there are many memories in it.” Firm Gabriel.
“Bogged too. This poor man” said Pacco to his men who had just sat still. The three of them laughed together, mocking Gabriel. Pacco holds Gabriel's shoulder and whispers right in the ear, “Where's the money?”
“Waiting bang. I'll take it.”
Gabriel went to his room to pick up the money that had been neatly arranged in a suitcase. When he came out of his room, he was shocked by his wife who had just come out of the kitchen.
“Dad.” Call Hana in a slow voice.
“Ia mom. Why?” Ask Gabriel.
“Don't find no problem with them.” Hana's Message.
“Ia mom. Their father was not as violent as last week. It's just they're a little cocky.”
Gabriel went straight to Pacco and his men. From a distance Pacco had seen Gabriel holding a small black suitcase. Instantly orders Eros to take Gabriel.
“Mari bang. Let me take her” pinta Eros. Gabriel gave the suitcase to Eros. When Eros arrived before Pocco and stood facing each other, Galendra came to them. He stood to the right of Eros. Gabriel is on Eros' left.
Pacco, who was curious about the authenticity of the money, immediately told Galendra to open the suitcase. Galendra also complied. When opened, the suitcase is seen there money with a fraction of a hundred thousand neatly arranged, the fragrance to get into the nose through the thick of the cilia forest to be able to affect the olfactory nerves. pacco's eyes immediately grew like he was about to jump out. With a curious face he approached Galendra and took a bal of money and counted it.
“Mana boss. Not enough?” Ask Eros.
“It's enough.”
Galendra closed the suitcase. Pacco shakes hands with Gabriel to end the promise. In the end Pacco and his men left Gabriel and his family. At that moment, Gabriel's heart was a little relieved because the debt had been paid off. Only, he had to try to find a job as soon as possible to pay off the money he borrowed from a culinary entrepreneur. Fortunately, he did not have to pay interest, quite in accordance with what was borrowed but, with the provisions in the period of six months must have been paid off.
Hana, from far away put her ear on the wall to hear the conversation between her husband and Pacco and his men. However, he no longer heard anything. Hana then tried to mngintip turned out to be her own husband who was cool standing.
“Dad. Where are they?”
“Home home mom. Our debt is gone. But also new debt appears.” Gabriel said to her husband, Gabriel's tears streaming down her cheeks as she said “Hana I apologize for all this, all this time I've been trying to be a good husband and not troublesome but, it's all for nothing. Whether this is me who can not try or is it destiny for me to live like this.”
“Neverything dad. It was just a trial from him. The trials He gave too, do not exceed our strength so do not give up.” Hannah hugged Gabriel from behind. Gabriel wiped his tears.
