Pursued by the Love of Jengkol Children
Leaving Home

'' Hello boss! It turns out that the boy still did not heed our warning. She is currently in a relationship with Bella.''

'' Okay boss! Be well. I'll keep an eye on him. Boss calm down! I assure you, not a single step of every one of his movements is independent of my supervision. Okay fine! Ready ready.''

From a coffee shop across the street, not far from Raka's tavern. A young man had since kept an eye on Raka and Bella. Apparently he was Clayton's men who were given the task of spying on both of them. After reporting what he saw to Clayton, the young man went back into the store, as his eyes continued to look at Raka's shop.

By midday, the serabi cake made by Raka has been sold out. Because Raka wants to return to visit and accompany Naya who is taking care of her grandfather, Raka deliberately did not sell in the afternoon. Previously, Bella also wanted to come with Raka to go to Naya's house. However, since it has been since morning Bella left the house, then Raka asked Bella to immediately go home.

Raka was worried that if Bella did not come home soon, Bella's parents would forbid them from meeting again. And of course, it will be a problem for both of them.

'' Mas Raka, I'm coming to your house huh? We have been in a relationship for a long time. It's been over a month, but you still haven't introduced me to your mother.''

'' All right, I also want to visit his grandfather Naya who is sick. Can ya?'' pinta Bella, while both are packing the equipment in the tavern.

Although Bella has repeatedly asked Raka for her to be introduced to her mother. However, his request has not been granted by Raka. Raka herself actually also wants to introduce Bella to her mother. However, because there are other considerations, then Raka has not dared to do it, until he found the right time to do it.

'' Bella, sorry! I don't want to introduce you to my mother. But it seems that for now, the moment is still not right. Please be patient! God willing, if the time is right, I will definitely introduce you to my mother.''

'' And anyways, you have also been since the morning away from home. Papi and Mami you must have nyariin. It's not good if you don't go home soon Bell!'' raka advised Bella.

'' Yes, yes, mas..! Bella knows. But when did Raka want to ngajak Bella to meet her mother mas Raka? Don't just say it later. Did Raka wait for Bella to be proposed to?'' bella said with a little annoyance.

'' Bella.., how do you say that anyway? What I'm doing right now, it's all for the good of both of us in Bell's future. Are you getting bored of me, until you say so?'' raka said a little less pleased with Bella's words just now.

'' Oh..! I'm not tired of being with you Raka. But I also want to be like the others. There is a time for both ways, get more attention from lovers and prospective in-laws, anyway, let our relationship look serious it mas! But if it goes on like this, I don't know what to say!'' bella seemed to be starting to look moody.

'' Bella darling..! Look at me all right! Do you think I'm not serious about you? Do you think everything I do is not for the sake of being able to realize our dreams?'' said Raka while gently holding both shoulders Bella.

For a moment, Bella was silent. He doesn't know what to say. He also still did not understand what Raka meant. While Raka also has not told the real problem, about the conditions put forward by both parents Bella to him.

However, the words of Raka who called him affection earlier, enough to make his heart a little happy. For the first time throughout their relationship, this is the new time Raka called him affectionately like that. Therefore, Bella's face that was a little somber, now looked brighter than before.

'' What did you call me?'' bella asked wanting to hear back the words spoken by Raka.

Raka smiled. He seemed to know what Bella had in mind and mind. Because he wanted Bella to smile again before returning home, Raka finally repeated the words she had said and wanted to be heard by Bella.

'' Bella dear.., my beauty, my sweetness, my bidad.. Believe that! Someday, you will understand everything I do. So, please understand and be patient a little until I am really ready to do what you want from me.' said Raka, while holding her palms together in front of her face.

'' Yes yes, yes..! I will try to be patient, until you can make my wish come true. For your sake, and for the love of both of us.'' said Bella, then hold the palms of Raka who is still clenched.

'' Yes, I'm home! Greetings to Naya and your mother. I'm sorry I couldn't go see his sick grandfather. Bye. mas Raka! See you again in the campus tomorrow. Love you.'' said Bella, then moved to the place where her car was.

'' And Bella too...! Love you to so much.'' said Raka smiled sweetly, while continuing to look at Bella until Bella got into the car and the car left the place.

After the departure of Bella, Raka then immediately closed the shop. After closing the shop, Raka then walked to the place where she parked her motorbike, and immediately went home. However, Raka has not yet boarded her vehicle, suddenly:

'' Dreeet.dreet.''

'' Hello! Assalamualaik.. Whahuh? Innalillahi Wainnailaihi.. Yes yes, I immediately went there.'' answered Raka on the phone call, then immediately left to move from that place.

In a hurry, Raka took her bike home. However, the direction he was aiming at was not his own house, but rather he was heading towards Naya's house. Just now, Raka got word that her grandfather Naya died. So from that, he went straight there to help take care of the funeral procession of his grandfather Naya.

Arriving Raka at Naya's residence, there seem to have been many people who also helped take care of the deceased's body. Sophia and Roni's mother were also there. Upon seeing Raka's arrival, Naya immediately scatters and hugs Raka.

'' Sister..! Huo.. Grandpa died brother! Now Naya has no one left. Huu huu.''Naya's cry exploded while in Raka's arms.

'' Patient ones, Nay! It has become his nature, the living will surely die. We all will die too. It's just that we don't know when death will come for us.''

'' You also don't say that you don't have anyone else Nay, you still have Raka's sister and mother. As long as brother and mother are still in this world, you still have us Nay. Don't forget that!'' Raka said while gently rubbing Naya's head.

'' Now, you don't be so sad anymore Nay. Release your grandfather who today went to meet his Lord. Let him go quietly. We pray, may he be accepted and placed in a decent place beside Him.'' continued Raka, then lead Naya into the room where his grandfather's body was.

A well-dressed man in a suit and tie and carrying a lawyer's purse, got out of the car and came to them. Behind him, several local officials also followed him. After greeting Raka and the others, they then sat on the mat together with the others.

'' Sorry mom! Is there an heir here from the deceased?'' ask the lawyer, after the RT sir introduced him to Sophia's mother, Raka and Naya.

'' Yes sir, this is Naya's deceased grandson. If I was Naya's foster brother and this is my mother. Pardon me! If you may know, what is it, sir?'' asked Raka after explaining.

'' Here's mas, mother and Naya's deck. We were sorry for the death of the deceased. We also apologize if our arrival is inappropriate and the effect is too hasty.''

'' But how else. We are only carrying out the duties of our clients, to convey important matters to the heirs of the deceased or those representing them.

'' So this is it, mom. Let's not beat around the bush, we'll go straight to the point. According to the agreement contained in this file, our client and the deceased have made a deal.'' the lawyer continued while issuing a folder containing the documents of the agreement.

'' A dozen years ago, the deceased had sold the land and grounds of this house to our clients. At that time, at the discretion of our clients, because they feel sorry and want to help the family of the deceased, our clients still allow the family of the deceased to continue to occupy this land and house, to the limit that has been determined.''

'' By leaving the deceased alone, in accordance with the agreement written in the existing files, then this is the maximum limit of the family of the deceased to occupy this land and yard.''

'' Sorry! It is not our intention to expel. But at the moment, our client is in need of this land and yard for the expansion of the project. You can see for yourself, the construction of the project back there. Soon, here will also be done the same thing as our client is running.'' explained the lawyer.

'' And regarding the validity of this agreement, you can see and ask directly to RT and others. Or perhaps perhaps the deceased himself once served on the deck of Naya is always his heir!'' said the lawyer while showing the letter of agreement to Raka and the others.

Raka then checked the letters. Look at the letters carefully. After feeling that there was nothing strange about the letters, he also asked Naya as suggested earlier by the lawyer. When asked by Raka, Naya nodded. His late grandfather had told him about the matter. Because of that, Naya felt sad.

'' So, when should we leave this house sir?'' ask Raka.

'' Soon as mas. Because of the plan, tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, this house will be demolished and replaced with another building.

'' Can't wait another week sir. We have already announced, that from later tonight, for the next week, there will be a joint prayer for the deceased.

'' Sorry, mom, and also Naya's deck. In the business world, time is money. If we have to wait again, of course our clients will suffer many losses.''

'' In our opinion, the time given by our client to the deceased and his family is long enough! Until a dozen years. So we hope that you can also understand this condition, the lawyer said.

Hearing the lawyer's reply, Raka and her mother looked at each other. They are confused about what to do or say. The atmosphere in the room was silent for a while. Naya who still felt sadness, without feeling her tears back down.

Because no one spoke, RT sir who sat next to the lawyer, finally spoke up.

'' Sorry before, Mom and Naya. We as the apparatus in this region, frankly, are concerned about this situation. However, we also cannot help any more to overcome this.''

'' It's just that, we want to give a little proposal, how about a joint prayer event for the deceased we still hold, but the place we divert in the mosque around here. For the time being, it remained as it had been announced, only the place was different.''

'' And for the issue of the transfer of this place, let us deliver it ourselves to the citizens.''

'' In addition, for the matter of dishes in the form of food or drinks for those who attend later, you also do not need to think about it. It has become a habit of the people here, we ourselves will prepare all that as a form of our sympathy to the bereaved family. How's mas, mother, Naya? Do you agree?'' ask the head of RT, after having had time to negotiate with some community leaders in the room.

Sophia and Raka looked at each other again. They then turned to Naya and asked her for her approval on the matter. Naya can only resign and agree on the opinion of Raka and her mother.

'' All right, RT and everything. We agree with your proposal. We will also soon bring Naya to stay with us this afternoon as well.''

'' As for the issue of joint prayer for his late grandfather Naya, we are very grateful to Mr. RT and the surrounding residents.''

'' Of course, we also cannot repay the kindness of all of you. We can only pray, may the kindness of the fathers or mothers of the people who are here, will be recorded and reciprocated by Allah SWT with doubled kindness.

'' Aamiin.'' simultaneously the person in the room also guaranteed Raka's words.

'' So how? Do you not mind if this location is immediately vacated?'' ask the lawyer again to make sure.

Simultaneously, Raka, Naya and Sophia's mother nodded. Seeing that, both lawyers, local officials, and also some community leaders who were there, they could breathe with relief, having previously felt worried and a little tense. They are worried, if this problem will cause conflict between parties related to the heirs. But apparently, everything can run without any problems.
