BERHALA ISLAND
EPISODE 14:MONEY WEARS OUT

    The life of the Podin family has changed completely. No longer like living in a corner of the village with a tile house with all-terrifying conditions, but now the lifestyle of the Podin family has turned into a rich man's life that is all modern. Now they often fiddled like the neighbors in the housing. Podin began to squander money by buying luxury goods, buying things that felt could please him, buying things that felt could make his life happy. Likewise with his wife and children. Podin's wife and children are always spoiled with luxury goods, always spoiled with expensive items, even what is asked by his son and wife is always bought by Podin. Now the Podin family, like the families in the Permata Housing, has everything that is commonly used or used by the residents of the Housing. Podin already has a car, also has a mobile phone. His children also bought a good cellphone, he said so as not to lose to his friend's property. His wife, who only works in the kitchen, only cooks, washes, nyeterika and momong his son, also bought a good mobile phone. He said the modern lifestyle, let's not lose with the neighbors who if out while carrying HP. He said to make communication easier. Anyway, everything that was seen from his neighbor, directly bought him. Of course, so as not to lose to compete with the neighbors.

    Even in meeting the needs of daily meals, Isti also spends basic goods that are expensive. Not like before. Buying rice would choose rice that is expensive. He said it was softer, better, and smelled fragrant. If you buy vegetables, it also asks her husband to take her to the supermarket. So the price is much more expensive when compared to those sold in the market. He said the quality is different, which in supermarkets is more hygienic. Even the diet every day, is foods that are said to be full of nutrition, foods that are full of vitamins. foods that are protein, delicious. He said to give strength to his children so that his children do not stanting.

    However, without feeling, little by little the money stored by Podin in the treasure chest, gradually depleted, even now it must be exhausted. There was no money left in the treasure chest. Surely Podin was confused.

    "Bu ...! Here, Mom ...!" podin shouted in the middle of the night, as his wife was about to go to sleep.

    "What's up, Mr ...? These nights, people are sleeping, why even look to call such a person." said his wife who had laid her body on the bed, of course while glaring at her smallest child.

    "It's a loh, Ma'am .... I want to tell you .... Our money in the treasure chest is gone .." said Podin to his wife.

    "Because .... So, how, sir? The real one, Mr ...?" his wife was certainly shocked.

    Then Isti got up from the bed. He did not close his eyes. She then went down to her husband who was cross-legged in front of the closet in the corner of the room, who was already facing the empty treasure chest.

    "This is you know, Mom .... View .... The box is empty, ma'am .... The money is up ..." said Podin, showing the opened chest to his wife who bowed to observe the contents of the chest.

    "God .... I'll keep us how we are, sir .... If the money runs out, what will be used to pay for electricity? What will be used to buy gas? What will be used to charge the HP pulse later, sir ...? How about the kids? What is the food ...? various questions immediately came out of Isti's mouth, who was certainly disappointed when he saw the treasure chest shown by her husband was empty, without any contents, without any money.

    "Lhah .., yes it is, Ma'am .... What are we going to eat tomorrow? What do our children want for breakfast? How will the kids go? Poor with them, Miss .." said Podin who was very sad because his family situation was always good, now he had no money at all. Let alone to buy things, to buy rice alone there is no money.

    "How do we proceed, Mr ...?" of course his disappointed wife spontaneously as a woman he immediately cried, because tomorrow morning he could not shop anymore. Pudin had no money at all. He also immediately remembered when life was difficult first, just want to eat must find debt to the stall. Does this have to happen again?

    "Bu ..., if for example the bracelet you wear we sell first how? For spears to buy food, Ms.." said Podin who certainly looking for a solution how to keep them can eat.

    "Walah .., yes no, sir .... Eman-eman .... It's a shame it was sold. Can't buy anymore .... Frankly, Mr. .., I never wear a bracelet. Lhah, just wear a bracelet for a few days just want to be sold. Then later my hand was what if people saw me no longer wearing a bracelet? Surely they will also say, "yes the bracelet has been sold" .... Like that, Mr .... I'm ashamed ..." said his wife who certainly strongly objected that the bracelet in her hand would be sold by her husband.

    "Yes already .... What if it's the necklace we sell?" said Podin who then thought of selling the necklace.

    "Waduh, Sir .... If this necklace is sold, yo even more visible anyway, sir .... My neck is no circular item .... If I don't wear a necklace anymore, can you see his wife being scorned by people watching me? Would you care if his wife was mocked by the neighbors because I no longer wear a necklace ...?" of course, again his wife strongly objected that until the jewelry he wore will be sold to patch up the needs of life.

    "Lha continues how, Mom ...? What's that necklace the kids are wearing that we're selling? Let the kids not wear necklaces. Or the kids' bracelet?" ask Podin who would have run out of sense to meet the needs of his life. Yes, of course, because he no longer has money. But his life needs continue to increase. Even every day his son asked for this and that, his wife also asked for this and that, always asking for money always, asking for money, and always asking for money.

    "Well, try Dad it's work  .... Find the money .... At least if the father is working, you also get money .... Can be saved, can be saved, can be ignored .... If it's like this, we need money like this, while you don't work, continue to get money from where, sir ...?" said his wife who would be angry at Podin because she felt that her husband was just unemployed, did not want to work, just spent money.

    "So I was told what job ...?" so said Podin who is basically a slacker. So even if told to work, at most he usually only became a building porters. That's just the building porters who are not very smart. Always scolded by the handyman and foreman, because the way it works is not right and slow.

    "Well, yeah any work anyway, sir .... Anyway, work, let's get some money. If you don't want to work, it's like this. He just likes foya-foya. Even a myriad of money if it does not work, it will certainly run out, Mr ...!" said his wife again who of course was still angry because of annoyance to Podin.

    In the morning, after last night being scolded by his wife, after sending his children to school, Podin did not go home immediately. The plan is to find a job. He must have met Mr. Mandor. Yes, only Mr. Mandor is often used as a place of complaint for the Podin. Podin went straight to the project that was being worked on by Mr. Mandor.

    "Morning, Mr. Mandor ..." said Podin who met Mr. Mandor in the housing development project.

    "God .... Good morning, Din .... There is news of what this is, so early in the morning it has arrived at the project .... What else do you want to buy?" said Mr. Mandor who would have known the habits of Podin.

    "Yes, Sir .... This morning I deliberately wanted to meet Mr. Mandor .... Frankly last night I was scolded by my wife because my money was up. I don't have any more money. My wife and kids need to eat. Frankly, Mr. Mandor .., if I may want to join the work of Mr. Mandor." replied Podin who would like to come back to work at the place of Mr. Mandor, became a lecturer of the building project.

    "Walah .., Din ..., what do you want to do? So the project porters only you are not becus. If I hire you again, will you not be angry with the artisans." said Mr. Mandor who of course also in his heart refused if Podin worked in his place. Yes, it is indeed seen from the workings of Podin which is not good and of course the foreman will lose if Podin joined the work in his place again.

    "Well, what should I do, Mr. Mandor? I also need money. I need sustenance to feed my son and wife." said |Podin who certainly really hope to be given a job.

    "Here, Din .... I had suspected from the beginning, that you have that much money, it will not last long. Because from your lifestyle alone it has been discovered that you are a wasteful person. You're a slacker. You can't work. You are usually a waste of money .." so said Mr. Mandor who even angry to Podin.

    "But how, Mr. Mandor .... It's all to meet the needs of life." replied Podin.

    "That's not meeting a need .... But you are showing off .... Can't manage spending." said Mr. Mandor without further ado.

    "Yes, Mr. Mandor .... I admit .... But now, I'm a co-worker .... So what do I have to do?" asked Podin again, who was certainly confused what to work on.

    "Dtn .... You are the most suitable, yes come again to your grandfather's place .... Ask for more money, brought here and spent here. That's the most suitable" said Mr. Mandor who actually mocked Podin.

    "Lha then That I have advised you, Din .... Yes that much money, mbok yes some of your money is made a business, for example for sales or trade. For example, buy a kiosk at the market or make your own in the village. You can also plant shares. Or again, to buy land, yards or rice fields .., then you hoe there .... It's good that if you have rice fields, at least every day can harvest. But you have that kind of money instead bought a luxury house, bought a motorbike, bought a car .... Yes, now it's over. If now you are confused about not having money, yes just sell the house, sell the bike, just sell the car. Already .... Your stuff is sold for food. If you don't want to work, if you don't want to work, where can you get money from? It's just that what you eat with your wife's child every day is the result of what, Din ...?" so said Mr. Mandor who actually blamed Podin. Of course, because Mr. Mandor is also annoyed that Podin at all times interferes with his time, if Podin always comes to his workplace, but does not give anything, it invites people to talk at work. That's what it's called disturbing the work people.

    "Wah .., Mr. Mandor was lousy .... Cook is asked for consideration, asked for work, even people come to be angry. This is outrageous Mr. Mandor" said Podin who certainly felt annoyed because he was scolded by Mr. Mandor.

    "Well, if you don't want to listen to my words, yes please lift your feet, please leave here. Don't bother me .... I'm here at work, not your kayak dolan it ...." Mr. Mandor was getting emotional because he felt that giving advice to Podin actually turned into words that were not good to hear in the ear.

    Without saying a word, Podin turned on his vehicle and left Mr. Mandor.

    "Ooo .... Semprul ...!!" Sir |Mandor is exasperated.

*******

    That afternoon, in front of the quiet house of Podin, only his wife and two small children lived, as Isti looked in front of his house through the window in the living room, Isti saw an old grandfather standing in front of the house. The old man in tattered clothes and wearing a petal caping made of woven bamboo, was like a kingpin who would beg.

    The old man looked at the house of Podin, kept on, and kept looking at the house of Podin, as if the old man was investigating something in the house of Podin. Isti hid behind the door, with his head thrown to the window, he peeked at the old man from inside the house, from behind the window curtains.

    Isti continued to pay attention to the old man's movements that were clearly visible from behind his glass window. Of course Isti was surprised, what exactly was the old grandfather standing in front of his house? Though if you pay attention, the old man is not a cleanliness employee in housing. He is also not a housing security guard. Even Isti is definitely not a residential resident whose average clothes are nice and neat. Just this time Isti saw there was an old grandfather who was struggling in the housing.

    Isti continued to observe the old grandfather. The grandfather stood right at his door, though still on the road. It was as if he was going to go into the door of his house. But if for example the old man was a beggar.how could the old man enter and be in the housing complex? Though everyone who enters the housing, it should have to go through the gate guarded by security guards. But why did this get away?

    Isti was very surprised, what exactly was the old grandfather in front of his house. He looked at his house constantly. Even as if the old brother was pecking in front of his house. Standing quietly, looking at his house with a very sharp look. And strangely, the old man looked only at the house of Podin, without seeing the other houses belonging to his neighbors. Of course this is very suspicious. And this must have been very scary for Isti, a woman who was home alone, just by befriending a baby boy.

    Then Isti began to shrink. Then Isti took his HP. He raised HP, and contacted the guard guards who were certainly in the post.

    "Hello, Mrs Podin .... Can we help you ...?" ask the security guard at the post.

    "Yes, hello Mr. Security, sorry, look .... This I want to say, if in front of my house there are old grandfathers like beggars, but he does not go-go .... He was in front of my house constantly and was watching my house, as if there was something .... Did this man not pass by the gate? When left alone there are beggars into housing .... He said housing was heavily guarded and no unknown people could enter. But why is this why any ragged old beggar can wander into housing? This is the guy standing in front of my house, scary .... I was worried that he was not a beggar, but a person who was looking for him would steal or rob the house" Isti told the security guard.

    "Loh, cook anyway, Buk ...? Wait, Madam .... This is called a miss .... I do not see that there are beggars or people who enter the housing with the characteristics of old grandfather using petal caping like a beggar. Wait, Madam .... I will secure. I'll come to Mother's place .... Just calm down .... Don't worry ..." said the security guard who of course immediately turned on the motor and headed to the house of Podin.

    Despite calling the security guard, Isti continued to watch the old man who was still standing in front of his house from behind the window. He was really worried. Hopefully the security guard will catch him soon. At least the security guard will come soon to dispel the suspicious old grandfather.

    However, after the security guard arrived in front of Isti's house, suddenly the old man had disappeared. Isti who saw the arrival of the security guard, he immediately came out for it to show. But the old man was no more. The security guard found no one.

    "Where, Mom ...? Where's the beggar?" ask the security guard.

    "So just now here .... Maybe as soon as he heard the sound of the motorbike he immediately ran away ..." replied Isti who had gone out to the security guard.

    "There is no one .... Even the old grandfather I did not meet ..." said the security guard, who was still looking.

    "Must be here .... Try maybe that way. Who knows, he avoided the pursuit of security guards" said Isti who conveyed the possibility.

    "Yes .., Ms .... Then I will search .... I'm going around this estate looking for that old man. I will travel .... I will search every street" said the security guard who immediately ran his motorbike while observing his surroundings. Of course to maintain complex security.

    The security guard then circled the streets of the housing to look for the old grandfather as described by Isti earlier. But after walking around riding his motorcycle while watching all the streets there, and of course also pay attention to the houses there, the security guard did not find the old man as his wife Podin meant. Of course the security guard was astonished and confused. Finally, he tried to search through security camera footage installed in every corner of the housing. He entered the management office which also became the administrative office of housing. Yes, he will inquire about the existence of a suspicious old man through CCTV footage.

    After a while of noticing the CCTV footage, still did not find an image there was an old grandfather. In the CCTV footage there are only beams of light, which is like a light that lights up and runs fast. Like motor vehicle lights. Yes, if you match the estimated reporting time of his wife Podin, that light is probably what is said to be the figure of an old grandfather.

    Then the security guards and who observe CCTV, immediately stand up fur kuduknya. The security guards who noticed the CCTV footage were certainly afraid, because they thought that the old man told by his wife Podin was a picture of a subtle creature that passed in front of the house of Podin. Means on Jalan Permata Ujung there is a waiter.

    That afternoon, after Podin returned home, his wife immediately told him about the experience she had seen this afternoon in front of her house. He said that he saw a suspicious old man standing in front of his house. The old man looked constantly at his house. His wife also told him that she was afraid that the man was a thief who would steal his belongings.

    "Deg ...!" podin's heart stopped beating. He was surprised by his wife's story. What was seen by his wife, the man standing in front of his house, the old man was unkempt in tattered camping clothes and wearing the petal caping, must have been the old man he had met. Old man who once gave him money.

    The feeling of Podin became unbecoming. Of course because Podin had spent all his money in the treasure chest he had brought from the island where the grandfather's palace. Podin ran straight to his room. He opened the closet where he kept the treasure chest. Podin immediately searched for his treasure chest. And it turns out, the treasure chest that was in the closet was no longer there. The treasure chest had already disappeared. The treasure chest is gone.

    "Sir ...!! Ms ...!! Our treasure chest is gone ...!!" that is what Podin said.

    The two men could only walk in front of the closet. But Podin was sure, that the old grandfather who had given back the treasure chest, to take him back into his palace.
