OUR EARTH
CHAPTER 15 "Saving Electricity And Water Matters"

Monday at 7:00, I'm still in the boarding house. I'm complete with a checkered shirt suit and black jeans. Before leaving the boarding house I checked all corners of the room whether there were still lights or not. Starting from the bathroom faucet, all plugs and headlights and in the house I make sure everything has been removed and turned off.

You know why I did all that. It could also protect the earth from drought and save the earth from increased warming. By conserving energy, the earth becomes colder and less hot. The heat of the earth is what ultimately triggers global warming from the greenhouse effect.

But it is different with the state of the house of Samsul, the difference is very far with me. Samsul is now soaking in a bathtub full of water. Worse yet the tv is left on its own when no one is watching. All the lights are still bright when the day is about to noon. Mr. Samsudin also forgot to turn off the AC and just left.

The General Soedirman University.

Budi and I parked our bikes before going inside. Now the two of us had gathered together at the Campus Canteen. The conversation begins with the Frank gossiping about his neighbor.

"Guys guys started siki on electric ngirit karo banyu ya (guys guys from now on the same electricity water yes)," he told.

"Why (why) Frank?" ask Clara, curious.

"Mbok rich kusaha because of excessive electricity bills and swollen pulse (fear like my neighbor because of excessive electric make his electricity bill so swollen)," replied the Frank gossiped.

"Jerene daweke petengan sewengi golet klambi ngantek grammakan because of ra ana lamp (she said she was dark last night light up the clothes until fumbling because there are no lights)," he added.

"Had kudu ngirit kie aja wasteful electricity (had to ngirit this do not waste electricity)," said the Budi.

"Mulane cah save electricity nek can ya save banyu also kon kepenak (everything save electricity if you can save water also to be comfortable)," said I provide a solution.

"Piwe carane?(how's it?)" ask Frank to know.

I smiled and gave tips to my friends to save electricity and water.

"How to ne sing first matik na karo lamp electronic device sing ra in denggo, denggo, nek can aja nyalak na fan suwe-suwe even can maning fan replaced karo ordinary fan rich Ilir what use tugelan cardboard (his first way to turn off the same lights electronic devices are not in use, if you can not turn on the fan for a long time even if you can again replace the fan with an ordinary fan rich Ilir what use a cardboard tugelan)," I explained. Ilir that if you do not know can call it a satay fan yes.

"Yes ra kasa Lam (yes does not feel Lam)," said the Budi.

"Yes kasa bae in kenceng goli ngipasi but aja kesenken also mbok ne tugel hands (yes feels alone in his urticaria, but do not be too tight also fear later your hands broken)," I argue while joking.

"Mbuh lah Lam (au ah Lam)," said Budi annoyed.

"Hehe," I chuckled for a moment. "Keep sing to loro nek adus aja kesuwen aja wasteful water to taste wae. Keep the third unplugged sing wis ra denggo, lan sing last save BBM mulane in addition to environmentally friendly bicycles can also reduce costs (continue the second if the bath do not overdo not wasteful of water, do not wasteful, just enough. Keep the third uninstalled outlet that has not been used, and the last one is saving BBM, so in addition to environmentally friendly bicycles can also reduce costs)," explained me back.

"Oh rich kuwe (oh like that)," he said while muttering.

"It's mbok (is it?)," I said simply.

My cement on the beards together again with a sign of understanding.

On the other hand Samsul and his two minions are actually working on Udin sir who is busy watering plants in the backyard. the three of them began to do nosy by turning off the water that was being used by Mr. Udin to water. Pak Udin was so confused because the water hose he connected did not come out of the water. Because of wonder and also curious, he peeked at the hole of the hose and in the bushes so that the water came out.

"lho banyu ne kok dead (who the water is dead)," he said astonished.

In addition, Samsul began to count with his finger and at the time of the count of the three water was turned back on. As a result the water splashed into the face of Mr. Udin because the end of the hose is right in front of his face.

"Hwaasemm," he cried in surprise. He wiped his face with his sleeve.

Mr. Udin then saw the Samsul with his two henchmen and found out that they were the ones who had been working on him.

"Den Saamsull.

"The plane escaped," said Samsul quickly. He saw Mr. Udin was about to pursue him so he told him to immediately run away and avoid problems.

"Welis instead mlyayu (run)," angry Pak Udin while throwing his hose. "Mandeg ko on (stop you guys)," he shouted and ran after the three of them. The hose he threw was still draining water. Mr. Udin just left because he switched to chasing after Samsul and his two minions.

Nearly half an hour of water on the left flooded the campus backyard. Mr. Ali happened to pass through the backyard to go to his office. He was surprised to see a lot of water in the area. Immediately he ran to turn off the faucet connected to the hose.

"Who is this that let the water burn? Good thing I came," he asked confusedly as he closed the water faucet.

"Flood of impact (whole)," he said, shaking his waist and shaking his head at the well-studded courtyard.

"Where else is Udin.?" he murmured.

"Check check check check check," decak Pak Ali still ruffled waist.

"Mubazir banyu ne (the water) is changed changeable," he said.

While Mr. Udin was walking back while mengedumel himself.

"Basar kampret si Samsul, the son of the rector kok bandel temen (banget)," grumbled every way.

"Eh Udin here you are" cried Mr. Ali for seeing Mr. Udin. He raised his hand and told him to go there.

"Alah Mr. Ali must be because of banyu (water), he was waiting while walking quickly and running.

"This is why the hose water is not closed in the flood, right, Mr. Udin?" reprimand Mr. Ali while asking.

"I'm sorry Mr. Ali I'm lali (forgetting) because of ngudag (pursuing) the Samsul," he replied.

"Did the Rector's son do it again?" tanyakanya.

"Yes sir he's karo batire ngerjani me (yes sir he's the same kemennjainnya me)," he replied.

"I'm sorry Mr. Ali, suwun wis in pitet na (sorry, Mr. Ali already bothered to close)," sorry Mr. Udin while close his hands.

"Yes yes wis I lunga pamit (yes yes I have gone away)," said Pak Ali then leave.

"Sign Mr. Monggo (yes sir please)," said Mr. Udin please.

...🌞☀️🌞☀️🌞☀️...

In the afternoon at 17:00 in Kos-Kosan Cempaka.

Bu Lastri suddenly gave an impromptu announcement about the new Kos-Kosan regulations related to electricity and water usage.

"ASSALAMUALAIKUM WARAHMATULLAHI WA BARAKATU," he said loudly until heard into the ears of people who were in and outside the room.

"Waalaikum salam warahmatullahi wa barakatu," replied the residents who heard it.

"WARA WARA for the residents of cempaka costs to start today and this day also the use of electricity and water is limited. Electricity usage will be closed at 9 pm by the mother herself and the use of enough water. Please pay attention due to higher electricity and water bills saving electricity and saving water. All announcements from me as the owner of the boarding house here. Thank you, WASSALAMU'ALAIKUM WARAHMATULLAHI WA BARAKATU". Bu Lastri finished giving his announcement. He returned to his activities. Wara Wara according to Indonesian means announcements.

While in my room, I was studying with a manual fan from a cardboard sheet.I immediately stopped the movement of my hand because I heard an announcement.I listened to the announcement carefully and seriously. On my side was a fan but I chose to use a cardboard sheet to fan myself. In this way surely the cost as long as I spend can be reduced because I have saved electricity and water as well.

The night was exactly at half-nine. I went to Budi's room to do thesis work together. Budi's house is still on but when I get to turn off the lights and replace them with a candle. The Budi who saw my behavior immediately protested.

"Why in pitit mbok esih ana half an hour maning be olih in pitet (Lam why in matiin there is still half an hour left to be in matiin)," he protested.

"Lah belih ngirit (is the ngirit barin)," I argued. "Eh ko deneng esih nganggo klambi miki Bud? (eh you still wear that shirt Bud?)," guess I was a little surprised and asked because I saw Budi who was still wearing that shirt this morning.

"Hehe yes I ra adus Lam (hehe yes I do not take a bath Lam) he replied with a cry.

"Your slovenly," I said a little disgustedly.

"Udu jorok Lam I ngirit banyu jere kon ngirit (not sorok Lam I ngirit water he said must be economical)," he elak.

"Yes ora kuwe rich also Bud Bud (yes not like that also Bud Bud)," said I half surprised.

"Irit yes irit use enough water Bud udu even ra adus (not even not shower)," said I advised.

again the Budi is just a crybaby-grim.

"Wis hayu work on (dah let's go)," I then asked him to do the thesis.

"Bae's frying pie?(is it dark?)" ask the Budi to make sure.

I nodded as I put my bag on the floor and sat down.

"Lam I feel rich dadi again ngepet ana candle ana sing watch (lam I feel so rich again ngepet no candles there are guard)," he thought.

"Yes Bud. Ko ya sing dadi pig ne ya (you ya who became babi ya)," joked I chimed in

"Sem.barangan ko (you) Lam," he denied fast while pushing me until I fell. Me and Budi laughed together for a while in the dark of the night.

"Wis wis lah hayu hayu start. Canda Wae (let's get started. Just joke)," take me to Budi.

Budi and I started doing their own thesis work. It was true that we were both performing a ritual in the middle of a lit candle. But this also reminds me of the ancient people who are very efficient electricity, even before people did not know electricity as possible. They used to use lanterns or candles as lighting.

On the sidelines of the two of us doing thesis work, the Budi remembered the condition of the Israelis who must be lacking clean water there. My friend daydreamed while muttering to himself.

"Hufh I ra adus be in arani slob kepriwe karo fate of the boy Israel sing ra duwe banyu nggo adus (huh I do not bathe in the slutty bed how the same fate of the children of Israel who do not have water make a bath)," he murmured while carrying a beard.

"Heh Bud why think about debt? (heh Bud why do you think about debt?)," guess me while shaking his head with a pen.

"I am ra duwe Lam's debt (i don't have Lam's debt)" he argued.

"Well on," I said more curious.

"I again imagine the fate of the boy Israel sing on the kurangan banyu to die because of the DBD (i again imagine the fate of the child of Israel who was deprived of water to die because of the hit DBD)," obviously.

"Iya Bud because the e sing region rarely dadi in the drought, drought, disaster, dwek kudu ne grateful esih can nganggo ro banyu electricity even though in batesi (iya Bud because the area is rarely raining so it was hit by drought, especially in the drought, we should be grateful to still be able to use electricity and water even though it is limited)," he added.

"Yes Lam" he said.

"Amin Lam" he said, sticking his hand to his face.

We both continued our duties until I finally came home with a flashlight to light the way to my room.

While at Samsul's house, the Samsul has slept with the tv position still on which is now switched to watch him. The light was left to illuminate itself without being turned off first. AC was turned on fully to cool the room because he previously felt hot. It was late at night but the lights were still on and not turned off. The bathroom faucet water, Mr. Samsudin forgot to turn it off.

For a time, it was only him and his father who lived at home. While his mother Samsul was shopping healing with his social friends abroad and did not know when to go home. Actually, this action is what triggers the swelling of the electricity bill. And the next victim of electrical swelling may be experienced by Samsul house.

...✨✨✨✨✨✨...

Surely in the morning the electricity of Samsul's house died instantly. Samsul who was busy shampooing so stopped because the water in the shower suddenly stopped. He did not have time to shower because he was shampooing first. Eh but apparently the shampoo was not over. He was upset and immediately shouted to his father

"Dad Yah Yah why the water died" he cried many times

"Hurry and help me hurt my eyes" he told me to still scream.

"Dad also can't see, father again noiseless looking for this work clothes no wonder where dark again," he shouted back.

"Is the electricity dead too Well?" ask her while shouting.

"Yes" he answered loudly.

It turns out that not only water that is electrically dead is also dead. The morning is still said to be early because the new clock is showing at 05:00. The atmosphere outside was also still pitch-black. Mr. Samsudin wondered if the electricity that died only happened in his house. When he looked out the window he was very angry and surprised because it turned out that only his house was dead

other people's homes are not.

"Hwaasemm turns out I'm a man whose house is out of power," angry Mr. Samsudin while closing the curtain back.

"Have I paid for electricity?" thought.

"PING" the voice of Mr. Samsudin's mobile phone notification reads.

He apparently got an impromptu message from the PLN Office telling him that his electricity bill was swollen to 68 million. Automatically Mr. Samsudin was immediately surprised because his electricity bill was so much up to a mountain. He quickly protested to pln by phone.

"This is how my bill is up to 68 million so much, you must be wrong this number," the protest did not accept.

"Excuse me father with Mr. Samsudin," PLN officials confirmed.

"Yes" he answered.

"Please tell us, sir" asked PLN Officer.

"Fine please explain," he said according to an annoyed tone.

"Can play unplug people's electricity," he murmured and listened to the explanation of PLN Officer by phone.

"This father has been very frequent and even negligent to turn off the electricity in the father's house. Because of the negligence of the father who made the electricity bill become swollen," he explained.

"Keep why is my Water PAM dead too?" ask him about the problem of dead water.

"Oh as far as I know for the entire Purwokerto PAM region the water died because there was a landslide in the Baturraden region," he explained.

"Oh so well I will pay it but not now wait for me to take the money at the ATM," he said agreeing to pay the skyrocketing bill.

"Okay sir, we'll wait. Thank you," PLN officer ended the call.

Mr. Samsudin hung up. Samsul who was in the bathroom has come out with a state of hair still full of foam and just hand it over. He then asked about the matter of his suddenly dark house.

"Well, what's the matter? Why is the electricity and water in our house dead?" ask after going out the bathroom.

"This must be because of you, you always do not turn off the television and let it light up watching you," accused Mr. Samsudin directly to his son.

"I'm wrong Dad. What's really going on?" samsul felt confused and asked once again because he did not understand.

"Our electricity is swollen Sul up to 68 million that's a lot," he replied in a half upset tone.

"Well it's not my fault either, my father was also negligent to turn off the AC and leave just like that and even forgot to turn off the faucet water" said Samsul, blaming his father.

"Continue to say it's both of us's fault" angered Mr. Samsudin in disbelief.

"Where do I know, let me have a drink to wash my hair" he went to the kitchen.

Samsul then took water to wash his hair. He then prepared to go to college in his clothes.

Me and Budi are going to college. As usual, I was always waiting in front of her room.

Go out and ride his bike. We both set off, but suddenly Miss Lastri called us both from behind. Budi and I immediately stopped our pace.

"Lam Bud wait for me to talk," he shouted as he ran.

"Ana (there) what's Miss Las?" ask me while looking.

"Heh what's kowe on wingi wengi spout? (heh did you guys last night mop up?)" he asked for a moment that made us both surprised.

"Astaghfirullah aadzim Ibu jere greeting (who said)?" deny me directly, while asking back.

"Ora, mother aboute wingi wengi weruh ko cah loro on the farm ning kamare ko Bud again on ngapa nek udu ngepet (no, no, the thing is last night saw you two in the dark in his room you Bud, again on what if not spanking)," he still guessed.

"Yes udu lah Bu I karo Alam wingi wengi ngerjak na task (yes not Bu I same Alam last night doing the task)," the Budi explained.

"Ko anyway Lam told Kon materi lamp mbok memenan gawe misunderstood wong (you did tell me to turn off the lights really to misunderstand people)," said the Budi switch to blame me

"Yes Ma'am we both know the thesis was malem, but I told Budi kon mateni (in order to matiin) lights and nganggo candles bae kon irit (wax cake only let it be iron)," I obviously came back to make this misunderstanding work.

"Oalah kuwe anyway, maning maning tah karo komo komo manko not denhi ration lewih nganggo electricity rather than crank wax nganggo wong-wong on the rich misunderstanding of mother (oh so it turns out, as it turns out, again tah said the same mother, later do not love the ration more use of electricity than use candles later people on the misunderstanding like mother)," said Ms. Las advised.

"Luckily mother sing weruh kepriwe nek residents kos sing liya what ya ora heboh (luckily the mother who saw how if the other residents of the cost what is not splashy)," he added.

"Yes Ma'am I'm karo Budi will talk about nek arep nganggo electric lewih, sorry ya Bu gawe I guess sing ora-ora (iya Bu I'm the same Budi will talk if you want to use more electricity, sorry, I'm sorry Mom made a no-no guess)," I said according to her and immediately apologized for making her think negatively.

"Yes, I'm sorry I left there late," Ms. Las forgave us and told me and Budi to go to campus.

"Yes ma'am, we say you assalamualaikum," I said while pressing the bicycle pedal. The Guts are just as happy and follow me from behind.

"Waalaikum salam ati-ati," replied Ms. Las while telling her.

The Jenderal Soedirman Campus

Budi and I have reunited with other friends. The five of us walked together into the classroom and passed Samsul who was hanging out in front of the class. Seen his two henchmen laughing at the appearance of the strange and different Samsul. He who used to look cool and cool turned into a very different person. The Samsul only wears a tee shirt and shorts with half-cluttered hair. He was also accused of not bathing by the Made.

"Boss Boss Tumben wear ordinary clothes and do not seem cool aura," called Domu to his boss who was sitting in the front bench of the class. He looked astonished to see the appearance of his boss who was not as usual.

"Yes Boss, Boss even looks rich yet to bathe," he guessed. "Didn't the boss take a shower on campus?" continues asking. The two of them finally let go of their laughter because they could not hold it anymore.

Samsul was silent when questioned and laughed at by his two friends. He seemed resigned and there was no mood to serve them. The Budi who heard Made said his boss did not shower automatically immediately mocked him.

"Hah Sung kowe ra adus hii. slovenly e (hah Sung you have not bathed hii.. slovenly)," he said surprised and immediately mocked him.

"Yes my boss doesn't shower, why Boss?" timpal Made half laughed then turned to ask his Boss.

"Whisper you De" said Samsul angrily.

"Yes the boss told you why, actually," persuaded the Domu also wanted to know.

"My electricity is swollen" he answered briefly.

"Haha Haide got the victim of the electric swelling turned out," guessed the Frank with a laugh.

"Diem you're Frank," he said. "In part why should I say so to your gang" thought Samsul.

"Sul must you waste electricity and water so your electricity is swollen," I guess.

"Sok knows you Lam," she said.

"If that's not what Boss is?" ask Made again.

"Gara-gara forgot to turn off the tv semalem electricity so it turns off instantly," he explained.

"It's called Sul's waste of electricity" I told him.

"Such as this boss is the same, so boss like me who never watched tv. Watch hp alone while in cas," said the Domu gave an absurd solution.

"Eh Domu is the same as using an excessive socket also including wasteful electricity especially after being used not in the unplug," I said while guessing again.

"Eh know you are Lam," he said confessing with a cry.

"Hem stooge is the same boss," I said in surprise, shaking my head. Not only me, the others also joined the ring of wonder with their nature.

Well temen-men therefore do not waste electricity and water if you do not want to like the Samsul whose house electricity is swollen to a mountain. For now Mr. Samsudin has also paid the electricity bill even though only half of it. He also promised PLN officers to be more efficient using electricity and water.

So remember yes friends to save in the use of electricity so as not to lose itself and save also in using water so that our beloved Earth is spared from drought.

Seriate.......💦💦💦
