BERHALA ISLAND
EPISODE 131: DEFEATING THE VILLA

    Because of the insistence of the apartment residents, finally the management could not tolerate Podin. The reason, what was done by Podin was too outrageous. Not only does it interfere with the peace and comfort of apartment dwellers who number in the hundreds, but also interfere with health for residents who experience shortness of breath. Forced, Podin had to move out, had to get out of the apartment. Inevitably, Podin had to leave that apartment. Podin had to give up. Podin had to leave that place.

    Yes, it is true that Podin is not suitable to live in an apartment. Podin is not fit to stay in a place that looks like a hotel. Of course in such a place, Podin should not perform rituals by burning incense, which would certainly disturb the residents of the apartment.

    Podin wanted to be able to produce abundant wealth. Podin wants to be able to earn a stack of money every night. Of course, the wealth, the money made from his pet tuyul. But what is done in his apartment room, certainly not fitting, less appropriate, less delicious. Hence, the residents of the apartment were disturbed. Especially when the Podin burns incense. The smell will spread throughout the apartment. The smell will go into the AC circulation hole. And it must be very disturbing to the other residents.

    If the residents of the apartment protested, of course it could be accepted by Podin. And if Podin is driven out by people who are disturbed, it is appropriate. And it should have been if Podin had moved somewhere else, gone from that apartment. Indeed, if Podin lived in an apartment, surely the place was too crowded, too many people, too many people passed by. It must also be disturbing and worrying about the secrecy of Podin. And of course, Podin was afraid also if until later the secret was revealed. In fact, that night, when he was mobbed, visited by the residents of the apartment, of course, Podin was also worried, if until the people were in his room. Surely they will find out that in the room of the apartment Podin there are four sacred coffins, they will know that Podin performs rituals in the room of the apartment. And of course, Podin will actually be accused of being a person who does heresy, maintaining the prank of pigs, or maintaining buto ijo. What is clear, surely they do not want the apartment they occupy to be a den of devil worship.

    Well, Podin has to give up. The apartment is not a suitable place for him who saves the magical coffins. Podin must find a suitable place for himself in performing rituals, in search of wealth treasure by asking for help tuyul.

    "Sorry, Mr. Podin .... This we have to convey, because for the security of our apartment, and for the comfort of its residents. So very sorry, we have to ask Mr. Podin to move out of this place, to leave this apartment" the manager of marketing told Podin, who asked him to move out of his apartment.

    "But what about our money? I paid in full. And I don't want to lose money just like that, just because I got kicked out of this apartment. I don't want to lose. I didn't do anything wrong, just a small mistake, because my cigarette smelled incense. That's my ancestor's legacy cigarette .... Then if I am told to leave here, my money must be returned" Podin told the manager.

    "Quiet, Mr. Podin .... We'll return all your money. And as compensation, we will not deduct a penny from the money you once paid to rent this apartment, even though Mr. Podin has been living in our apartment for days. But again, we apologize, you have to leave this apartment. We can't accept you staying here" said the manager, who subtly ousted Podin.

    "All right, then .... I was leaving this apartment, but it took me a day to pack my things. And at least I, too, will be looking for a place to move, for my place of residence" Podin told the manager.

    "Good, Sir .... Thank you for understanding Mr. Podin, because you can accept and understand this case. I will give you a grace period of not one day, but I give you a grace period of twenty-four hours. And after that, you're not in this place anymore, you've left our apartment" said the manager.

    "okay .... I'll be ready" said Podin who would immediately pack the goods.

    "Thank you, Mr. Podin .... I'm glad you can understand what we mean" the manager said, smiling at Podin.

    Podin came out of the manager's room, of course with regret, because he had made a mistake. And now he has to go back to struggling to find a place to live. At least Podin had to find a rented house or even have to buy his own house.

    Podin sat on his bed. He could only look at his four treasure chests. The coffin he was waiting for, the chest that became his soul mate, the chest that gave half his life for his life. The coffin that became the source of his wealth. Surely Podin was confused, where would he take the crate? Where else will it be hidden? And how will he perform the ritual to earn money?

    "Yes .... Ms Melan .... A smart girl who can certainly provide solutions." muttered Podin who remembered the young woman employees of the financial section at his place of business. The woman who has helped him many times to solve problems.

     Podin rushed straight to his office. He will meet the employees who always provide these solutions. And just walk. Not far. Just a moment Podin has arrived in the office of the finance woman.

    "Good morning, Miss ..." said Podin greeting his employees, of course so that the young woman was not surprised.

    "Eh, Mr. Podin .... Come, Mr .... Please sit. What's the matter, sir?" ask the young woman.

    "Come, Ms .... I can't stay in the apartment .... Because I smoke, and my cigarette is a conch cigarette that smells like a nose sting. And I can't stop .... While the apartment room uses AC, it will certainly disturb other residents" said Podin who certainly lied to his employees, by making excuses for cigarettes.

    "Oh .., like that .... Yes, Mr. Podin should not smoke in an air-conditioned room. If for example Mr. Podin wants to smoke, it should open the window, turn off the AC. I see, Mr. Podin." said the young woman, an employee of the finance department to Podin.

    "It's not so anyway .... I mean, maybe I need my own house. At least I can live in my own home that is comfortable, calm, does not disturb others, does not disturb other residents, and of course people also do not touch my blue. Yes .., if you can the house is a bit far away with a crowded village. Even if there are many houses, the distance is good. The important thing is not to interfere with each other." said Podin to his work, which of course Podin wants can be helped to find a house as he wants it.

    "Oh .., Mr. Podin wants to have his own house that is quieter and away from the neighbors .... Well, then yes, Mr. Podin should have lived in a village, in a rural area, Mr. Podin .... If in Jakarta, where there is such a house .... All of Pak Podin's emballets, all lined up, went hand in hand. Yes, understand in Jakarta the yard is difficult, sir .... Narrow and expensive land. If you can buy an apartment it is very good .... At most people buy it rusunawa, Mr. .., the flats that use the rent. It was even worse, the place was more crowded, more noisy, more complicated .... Anyway do not, if living in rusunawa. The place is also shabby." so said the Finance minister to Podin, which of course he also can not show a house far from the neighbors if living in Jakarta. Indeed, Jakarta there is no village that is deserted by residents. Everything is crowded with houses, everything is crowded with busy people. And surely they will fuss with their respective affairs.

    "Then, Mr. Podin should look for a house in the Bogor area, sir .... Buy villa at Puncak .... Yes, in the Puncak area, if people have money like Pak Podin, stay in villas in the Puncak area .... Wow .., cool Mr. Podin." so said the young girl, who is still single, who is not married, who is always busy taking care of work at his place of business Podin.

    "But the price ..., how? If the villa is usually owned by a large businessman, belonging to a wealthy official, belonging to a person whose money is myriad .." said Podin who certainly thought again when offered a villa at Puncak. Of course, for Podin, the villa was like a luxury retreat, like a private hotel, which was very expensive.

    "Yes, look for a villa not a big one, Mr. Podin .... Find the one that is just .... At least the villa was far from the neighbors, away from the village houses. Well ..., if so, Mr. Podin can stay in the villa quietly and comfortably. Maybe for a few days or on weekends Pak Podin stayed at the villa, then Pak Podin can also look at this place of business. After all, Mr. Podin still has assets in Jakarta. At times Mr. Podin wants to see his business here, from Bogor not too far away, Mr. Podin .... And if for example Mr. Podin wants a vacation, want refreshing, of course delicious, Mr. Podin .... Yes, the people of Jakarta if the weekend must be on going to Puncak. Well, Mr. Podin has a villa at the top .... Later we, we-we can this sir, invited to the villa Mr .... If Mr. Podin so buy a villa on the Peak" said the young woman, who would also be happy if Podin would buy a villa on the Peak. At least later, the employees can refresh, can travel to Puncak and stay at his boss villa.

    "But ..., what's the price?" podin asked the young woman.

    "Just a moment, Mr .... I used to browse on the internet. Hopefully there is, and enough funds to buy it. I'm sure, Mr. Podin is a lot of money .." said the young woman who then immediately opened her computer and immediately did a search for villa sales ads on the internet.

    Yes, now the easy age, now the sophisticated age. If just looking for information like that, looking for home sales ads, it's easy. That's the easy thing. That's a quick thing to do. Of course in an instant Cik Melan has found the villas offered, villas in Puncak, villas to be sold by those who have.

    "Pak Podin ..., this, sir .... There is a pretty decent villa building, quite big, six times seven, two bedrooms, one bathroom. There is a carport, there is a kitchen, plus a family room. The land area is five hundred meters. The one selling only asks for one M, sir. Just ask for a billion, it's really cheap, sir." said Ms. Melan to Podin, which certainly gives a very interesting picture of the villa.

    "There's a picture of it, Miss? What's the house like?" ask Podin.

    "There, Mr .... Here's the picture, Mr. Podin, see .... This is good, Mr .... It's just to empathize, sir .... Well, the surrounding gardens are also, still very rarely houses. Away from the crowds of the people's houses, sir. This is good, sir." said Ms. Melan to Podin, who of course he was also amazed to see the picture of the villa offered. Indeed, when compared to the price of a house in Jakarta, of course it is far very cheap and very affordable for a Podin.

    "There's a phone number you can call, right? Please if there's a phone number, just call." Podin ordered the treasurer. Surely seeing the image in the ad Podin immediately interested.

    "Yes, Sir .... I'm looking for a moment" said Ms. Melan.

    "Who knows there is a soul mate, later I have a villa in Puncak" said Podin to his work.

    "There, Mr. Podin .... Wait a minute, Mr. .., I'm calling the owner. Who knows, sir" said the young woman, who picked up the phone immediately. Then contact the owner of the villa offered in the ad, which will be sold for a price of one billion. In an instant, the young woman of the treasurer Podin was already talking to the person who put the phone number on the advertisement. And it turns out that the villa is still there, the villa is still not sold, the villa is still negotiable, and Cik Melan immediately made a transaction. At least he asked what the right price, what price to pay. And finally a deal was done over the phone.

    But Ms. Melan is not an easy person to make choices, not easy to promise, and will pay if there is a deal. Surely Ms. Melan will look at the building on site first. If suitable, if it is true, then Cik Melan also promised to directly pay for the villa offered.

    "Already, Mr. Podin .... I promised the same people who had. We're off to the top, look at the villa. I have agreed with the people who own the villa." said Cik Melan to his boss.

    "Now ...?!" ask Podin in shock.

    "Yes. Mr .... Now ..." said Ms. Melan. Surely Ms. Melan knows that her current boss needs a home, as soon as possible.

    Podin according to him. And they went straight to the top. And once at the top, Podin directly watched the villa building. He was certainly interested.

    "How, Sir?" ask treasurer.

    "Good .... I like it." replied Podin. Podin is certainly excited, because it sees a building that is indeed good and very interesting, very beautiful and very artistic. Surely Podin was tempted if only given a billion price. Yes, Podin can be a good villa, with a very adequate land area. The villa is very suitable as a place to live, which will certainly not be anyone who bothers him in carrying out rituals to collect money, so in an instant, there will be no one who will bother him in carrying out the ritual, he'll be a rich man.

    Podin was lucky. The rent of the apartment was returned entirely by the manager, without any spare parts. And now, he actually got a good villa, at a cheap price, for the size of the villa at Puncak which is usually very expensive.
