Sanggana 6 Agreements Muara Jerit
Examiner 12: Rujak Chat

*Evenue String Agreement (Traffic)*

While the husbands have not returned home from the sea which usually takes a full moon or two full moon, the mother-and-mother gang of sailor wife re-assembled with Joko Calm. The children in the house were cut off to the servant. If the big boy just let it go, it is still safe because there is no era of drugs, promiscuity, or chilli-cabean season.

This time Subini, Nangita and Rinda invite Joko Calm to eat gujak cocol sambal sugar palm without cayenne pepper, curly chili, or rebonding chili. The three women who treat because Joko previously who treat them yesterday.

Warung rujak Mak Kudul is the only rujak stall in the capital city of Digdaya. Far when compared with a restaurant, Mak Kudul rujak stall is small, there are only two sets of bamboo slats floor tables that are rare. Under the floor was a small fish pond.

Although the rujak Mak Kudul is delicious, but not everyone likes rujak. That includes one type of culinary that is not popular in the Capital City. Rujak stalls are only occasionally full by customers. Customers who often stop by are usually young pregnant women.

Joko Calm and his three female colleagues now each face a banana leaf on top of which piles slices of several types of fruit, there are even pieces of young coconut meat. In the middle is a rock tearing full of coconut palm sugar for cocolan.

Joko Calm will accept the invitation of Subini and his two colleagues because he is waiting for news from his sister Rinda.

Yesterday afternoon, after successfully forcing the Deputy Chief of Capital Security named Brabean to leave with his troops from the Nangita house, Joko Tenang became acquainted with Ronda Galo, personal bodyguard of the Minister of Finance Badaragi.

Accompanied by the three sailor wives, Joko Calm and Ronda Galo chatted. Joko Tenang conveyed his goal to Ronda Galo.

“Good. Tomorrow morning I will tell Gusti Badaragi. Tomorrow afternoon, after the task, I will bring an answer, whether Gusti Badaragi is willing to meet with Kakang or not.”

That was Ronda Galo's answer to Joko Calm.

While waiting, Joko Calm was willing to spend his time with the three mothers. Counting gathering intelligence about the country and its rulers.

“This is a good voice,” praise Joko Calm while mangosteen like a jury cooking conpetition.

“This is good, Joko. However, the Sky Sand Kingdom prefer seafood. Understand coastal country,” said Subini.

“It looks like the people of Pasir Langit are living a prosperous life under the leadership of Prabu Galang Digdaya,” said Joko Calmly began to lead the chat.

“What do you think is wrong is big. Prosperous people are only those with ties to government officials or soldiers. People with no ties to any official live in tax extortion. Therefore, the people really want their sons to register in the Pasir Langit military,” said Rinda.

“Why can it be like that?” ask Joko Calmly.

“Actually the variety of taxes charged to farmers, fishermen, traders and other people is high. However, the officials tricked so that their business was not exposed to high taxes. The way, they do not pay in full, but their shortcomings are burdened to the people by incurring additional costs from the tax. The additional cost is used as a filler for tax shortages from soldiers and officials,” explained Subini.

“Did Prabu Galang not know about those officials?” ask Joko Calmly.

“Seems not. Evidently the officials are fine and the condition is still running,” said Subini.

“Therefore, Joko, many small people who could not pay taxes, was jailed for several months. If his family does not exist or cannot make up for it, will be put to death,” Rinda said anyway.

“Law in this kingdom is cruel too,” said Joko Calmly.

“It is precisely because of that cruel, officials and people do not dare to rebel. No one dared to go against the high tax rules. To the extent that when the high tax plus side costs, people only accept,” said Nangita anyway.

“But, according to Hisai-Nyai, is Prabu Galang a good king?” ask Joko Calmly.

“Kejam,” replied Rinda briefly.

“Agree. Gusti Prabu Galang is cruel,” said Nangita agreed.

“The three of us are the daughters of those beheaded by Gusti Prabu Galang. Our fathers were accused of smuggling god shrimp out of the kingdom. Based solely on the allegations without any evidence, our fathers were punished by lures. When the matter of smuggling god shrimp roiled the country, Gusti Prabu Galang beheaded more than two hundred fishermen and traders. However, then we found out that the mastermind of the god shrimp smuggling was the Minister of Taxes who had nothing to do with our fathers,” Nangita saga.

“Until Princess Ani Saraswani until now is still very vengeful to her father,” said Rinda, began to out his gossip soul.

“You know where you are?” Subini asked, pointing out that the level of knowledge about the gossip news inside the heads of the three women was not the same.

“From my sister. He heard a lot about Gusti Badaragi's talks with other officials. He said, Princess Ani also often comes to the residence of Gusti Minister,” replied Rinda.

“Why does the Princess hold a grudge against her father? Isn't it unrelated?” ask Joko Calmly.

“Princess Ani Saraswani is the lover of the son of the decapitated Minister of Taxes. At that time, they both agreed to get married. Gusti Prabu agreed. However, because of the matter of the shrimp god, the Minister of Tax and all his family were punished by beheading, including Princess Ani's lover. Since then, Princess Ani is hostile to her father and never wanted to meet,” explained Rinda.

“If your fathers are beheaded by Prabu Galang, then why can you live quietly, even Ronda Galo can be accepted as a soldier minister?” ask Joko again.

“There are only two options Gusti Prabu has offered to the families of those beheaded simply because of the allegations without evidence. Live peacefully just like other people or imprisoned who are then sentenced to death. What is our power,” replied Subini.

“We have nothing but strength to survive and enjoy life as it is today, Joko,” said Nangita.

“I've never seen Princess Ani Saraswani. I heard that princess is so pretty?” ask Joko Calmly.

“Eits! You can't appear in front of Gusti Putri, Joko. You're much more handsome than Gusti's lover Princess Ani. I'm afraid Gusti Putri will fall for you,” said Subini.

“Why is His faith?” joko asked Calmly while smiling faintly, as if there was a cunning tactic inside his brain.

“Obviously we are very sure. We are the ones who have had children, fell in love with you since first sight,” said Rinda.

“Hahaha!” joko Calm's laughter was followed by their bustling laughter.

“Eh, Joko!” call Subini. “Your husband should have been married. Or ... You already have a child and a wife, but you don't want to tell us?”

“Hahaha!” joko Laughter Quiet short. Then he said, “I'm afraid if I admit the truth, Nyai-Hyai later disappointed. Because, Nyai Rinda just said that it has fallen for me since first sight.”

“Hihihi!” Let the three women laugh again.

At this Mak Kudul rujak stall they are safe to laugh loudly. Mak Kudul himself as the owner of the place, his ears are familiar to hear the laughter of the trio. Subini and both are regular customers.

“I am already married and have children, Nyai,” said Joko Calm.

“I guessed it,” said Nangita.

“But your wife didn't you bring?” ask Rinda.

“No.”

“Means safe. Hihihi!” subini said then giggled.

The four human children really looked familiar and indeed familiar. They're happy. (BH)
