BERHALA ISLAND
EPISODE 39: LIVING AT GRANDPA'S HOUSE

    The truck that Isti was riding with his three children stopped in the yard of a house. Semi-permanent simple house whose bottom is a wall and the top of the wood. The size is not too big, but good enough for a place to live. Although semi-permanent, the floor is plaster with cement. So it looks neat and clean. The courtyard of the house was rather spacious, so the truck could enter. Yes, the house with a size of six times six meters there is still a lot of land left behind. There is also still a small house attached, which is used for the kitchen and bathroom.

    While on the front, also attached to the front porch, there is a building measuring three times three meters made of wooden boards. The building on the front there is a door made of wood board, but can be removed to be opened entirely. Yes, the building is a building a stall or kiosk to sell.

    The truck driver turned his truck in front of the house and stopped in the courtyard. Isti wondered, is this really the house of that grandfather? The house of the man he had claimed to be a beggar? Strange, the truck driver was not given a warning or told by the grandfather, but why did he stop at the house?

    "Come down ..... We have reached the grandfather's house ..." said the old man, who got down from the back of the truck, and then opened the door in Isti's seat with his children.

    They went down, because the grandfather had told them that the house was his home. Yes, the house was intended by the grandfather who invited Isti and his children to stay at his house.

    Finally, Isti and his children got out of the truck. And of course directly observe the house and the yard around it. A very well maintained and neatly arranged house, even if only a simple house. Even the bone-white house paint also looks very good without any coyards attached to the wall. Yes, they have arrived at grandfather's house. It's pretty good to have a place to take shelter.

    But of course, what Isti thought before, what Isti imagined before, if the beggar's grandfather was considered a poor person, who was considered an incapable person, if he was not, who is considered as a person who does not have a house, even considered his house must be like a hut like his home first, in fact after Isti and his children arrived at the house, he was shocked. Of course Isti did not expect, and Dewi did not expect, if it turns out that the grandfather had a nice and comfortable home. Yes, a very decent house to live in, a very decent house to be a dwelling for them. Although the house was not as luxurious as his property that used to be in housing, when they had a luxurious house in an elite housing complex. But at least, Isti with his children can occupy a house that is truly worth living in.

    Especially when Isti saw in the house there was also a building shape that resembles a shop, and it looks like the place is a former store, he was very happy because he should be able to sell later. Yes, Isti is certainly happy, Isti is certainly happy when he was told to enter the house by those who have a house.

    "Come, everyone please come in .... This is Grandpa's house .... You can occupy this house. The house is empty, no one is occupying it. Grandfather rarely lived in this place. Come .., please come in, take this as your own home." saying so, the grandfather opened the door of the house, for Isti along with his children.

    "Thank you, Kek ..." said Isti who was certainly very happy.

    "Thank you, Grandpa.

    "Thank you, Grandpa ..." Asri and Antok said.

    In the yard, it turns out the driver and the kernet of the truck that was rented by the grandfather to carry his belongings, the truck that was asked for help to transport all the goods that belonged to Isti and his children. The driver and the doormat had already taken the goods off the truck, and brought them into the place that had been provided in the house. Even the driver and the truck's kernet have arranged their goods according to their place. Some were put into rooms, some were placed in the kitchen. In fact, the driver and the kernet have also arranged the goods in the store. Yes, Isti's merchandise has been arranged in a building shaped shop in front of the house where the Grandpa lived.

    "God .... Grandpa's house is very good ..." so said Dewi who was certainly very happy when he was told to enter by the Grandpa into his house.

    "Yes .., this is indeed grandfather's house .... But tomorrow this will be your home .... Just take this house, yeah ..... So don't bother. But on condition, you also have to take care of this place, you also have to arrange this place ..." so said the Grandfather to the Goddess and her sisters.

    That day, they entered a new home again. The house of the grandfather who had been told to occupy for them. It was a very pleasant experience, but it also felt strange. Especially for an old man. Of course, wondering why the grandfather, who must be the house as his residence, was just told to place him with his children. But for children, of course, it is important to feel happy.

    "Asik .... We can play here ..." so said the happy children, and of course the children also feel happy to be able to live in a house that does have a yard and yard that is quite spacious.

    Isti and his children, of course, are very happy to have been helped by the grandfather to occupy the residence.

    "God .... These items have even been put in the room ..." so Isti said, when he saw the items had been put into the house, it was arranged in the room, was laid out, also his merchandise is arranged stalls.

    Isti was certainly shocked. Very clever and very deft driver and kernet truck it. Even when Isti went out of the house, wanted to meet the driver and kernet of the truck, it turns out they were no longer there. The truck had also left the Grandpa's courtyard.

    "Lho ..., the truck is gone ...?!" Isti looks confused, because he has not been paid the fare. And strangely, neither Isti nor his children knew when and where the truck had gone.

    "It's ..., it's okay .... All his belongings have been taken down" said the grandfather, who remained relaxed.

    Yeah, that's the weirdness of Grandpa. Sometimes it just comes and goes, without people knowing. But for Isti and his children, the important thing is to be helped to live in his house. The fact that the grandfather did have a place to live, not a poor person anymore, but the grandfather just pretended to be a poor person.

    Of course Isti remembered the first time the beggar came to the front of his shop. His son was told to give him money. He declined. And when he was fed he received. And after that, his sons were given gold coins. Yes, Isti remembered very well when his children got gold coins from the Grandpa. What a kind-hearted grandfather, rich but not showing off wealth.

    "Well .., you stay here until you can get a more decent home. Understand the grandfather's house Just like this, just a simple house that you may not like. But for a while you can occupy it. And that, in front there was a building for the shop. You can also sell there. You can sell your merchandise there. And of course I pray that your merchandise will be sold, many buyers will come here, so that later your provision will continue to flow to support you, your family and your children. And also to send your children to school." so said the grandfather who would have given up the house to be occupied by Isti and his children.

    "Thank you, Cake .... We also pray that Grandpa remains healthy and safe .." replied Isti who is certainly very happy.

    "Yes .... Equally .... Just keep the house, never wait for me to come home here. I will rarely even come here. But I advise you never again to ask your husband. The important thing is that you must take care of your children, so that your children are not visited again by your husband. I tell you frankly, that your husband is a greedy man, a bad man, a man who has the heart with his own wife and children. So be careful with him. If necessary you no longer have to deal with her." so said the Grandfather to Isti, who certainly ordered that she no longer accept the arrival of her husband.

    "Thank you, Cake .... Of course we will heed Grandpa's advice, and I'm sure, my husband will not know if we are in Grandpa's house. I'm sure he didn't know the kids were here. And hopefully Akang Podin won't be looking for us anymore either." said Isti, who is certainly very grateful for the help given by the Grandfather.

    "Yes .... If I don't come home, you can't ever look for me. And I will pray for you, may your efforts in guiding your children, in taking care of your children be successful and nothing bothers you anymore. Please begging me. Grandpa will go to continue my journey. Grandfather will leave you, do not forget Grandpa's message, be a good person do not be greedy ..." so said the grandfather who then had stepped foot out of the house, and then he walked out, leaving Isti with his children.

    "Yes, Cake ...."

    "okay .... Thank you, Kek ...."

    Isti greeted the old man, as well as Dewi, Asri and Antok who also joined in greeting. And of course while kissing Grandpa's hand.

    "Be careful, Cake .... Take care of health ..." so said the children, who also asked that the Grandfather was always careful.

    Leaving the grandfather's departure, Isti went out of the house until he reached the road.

    "Eee ..., there's a new neighbor ..." suddenly there's a female voice nearby greeting Isti .

    Isti took off his gaze while observing the path of the grandfather, and turned his head towards the voice he heard.

    "Yes .... Introduce my name Isti ..." so said Isti who immediately greeted his neighbor, as he watched the neighbor in front of him.

    "Occupy that house, yeah ...?" ask the neighbor.

    "Yes, it was borrowed by Grandpa ..." replied Isti, who of course while looking at the grandfather who had just left his house. However, Isti had not seen the old man again. The man has disappeared.

    Then, some neighbors came out of his house, of course, after hearing there was a crowded voice. Yes, the neighbor on the right left on meeting Isti. Especially the mothers from the left right of his house, which is in front, and next to him. Isti also wanted to know his neighbors. Want to get to know his neighbors, who are in some houses on the right of his sendya, who at once meet Isti. Isti was just aware that there are many good neighbors here.

    "Include .., my name is Isti .... I was with my kids, I was small. There they are in the house .." said Isti who immediately introduced himself and his children to the new neighbors.

    "New transfer, yes ...?"

    Many other neighbors, who of course also want to know the origin of Isti.

    "I, from Permata Housing .... My house was sold by my husband. That's why we moved here, assisted by Grandpa .." replied Isti who was certainly honest with his new neighbors.

    "Hopefully stay here ...."

    "If here mah, just stay in the village, which is certainly quiet unlike in housing .." said another neighbor.

    "Can stay here, live in the village with us-us ..." said the other.

    "You can buy this house ...? How much did you buy this house ...?" ask the others.

    "This house has long been rarely occupied ..." said the other neighbor.

    "Say to be sold .." said another neighbor.

    "I didn't buy .... I was just told to empathize with the same one who owned the house .... He said later if I already have the sustenance I can buy to find a new place .... But as long as I have no money, I am told to occupy the house." replied Isti. Isti also told what was experienced.

    "Waaa ...??! It's delicious ..." said the neighbors.

     Of course, the neighbors were also surprised by Isti who only occupied the house. As if he had a windfall.

    "Waduh ..., sorry yes, I don't know .... But if asked to buy, I do not have money, I am less fortunate .... My house was sold by my husband. I have to get out of that house ..." - Java Isti.

    "Lhoh ..., what the hell, your husband is ...?! What is it sold for ...? Buy a better house, huh?" ask the neighbors.

    "Actually .., my husband is married again, and I have to take care of the children themselves .." replied Isti who immediately bowed embarrassed and sad.

    "Yes, the basis for which the name is male .... Always looking for his own win ..... Do not want to take care of the burden of women, do not even want to take care of children .... It wants good and wins itself ..." the words of her neighbors who happen to be all women, and will always blame her irresponsible husband.

    "Not everything .... There is a good husband .... For example, my husband, he is not like that. With a wife of care, with a child also of attention" said one of his neighbors.

    "cn .... Be careful you .... That looks like it's even a danger .... Beware of pretending to be good like that .... Something must be hidden ..." said another.

    "Don't do that .... We must be prejudiced against the husband" said the woman who defended her husband.

    "Lha keep going, what do you do ...?" ask the neighbors again. Of course they want to know what Isti did.

    "Yes .... I sell .... I trade, sell anything, household goods and other family needs." replied Isti.

    "That means opening a stall, yes, here yeah ...?" ask the neighbors.

    "Yes, the plan is so, because I brought merchandise from my old shop. My goods are sold from home, I want to continue selling here." replied Isti.

    "Waaah .... In fact, so it can be close if we shop." so sahur the neighbors who would be happy if the new neighbor would open a stall in his house. And they must have bought it at Isti's stall.

    "Yes .... Thank you .... May you be happy in a new place .." said the neighbors.

    "Later tonight there's a salvation ...? Thank goodness for occupying his house." asked one of his neighbors' mothers

    "Oh, yes .... Don't forget the thanksgiving event ..." said another neighbor.

    "Yes, Madam .... I do not know how, I must how yes ...? Do I have to say anything to move here? To whom to ask for help, mothers ...? I beg to be directed to be able to stay here along with the other citizens ..." so said Isti who would like to know how the conditions to be a citizen in the village.

    "Yes, Madam .... Mother to Mr. RT only, then ask Mr. RT, how the procedure so that later explained by Mr. RT. That's his house right there, down the street.... Please later Isti went there, consulting with Mr. RT" said his neighbors.

    "Oh, yes .., Mother .... Thank ye. I want to go directly to the house of Mr. RT only, so that later it can be faster to know how to live neighbors in this village" said Isti who went straight to the house of Mr. RT.

    And once at the house of Mr. RT, Isti immediately introduced himself and asked the conditions for living in the village.

    "Sorry, Mr. RT .... I am Isti, a new resident who moved in that house there. I brought three small children. Incidentally I was asked by the one who owned the house to occupy it. Then I want to ask how the procedure is yes, sir ...?" ask Mr. RT.

    "Well, yeah .... Welcome to our village. Well, Mother ..., thank you Miss Isti, yes .... The important thing is that you can be good friends, live in harmony with the neighbors in this village. Then, we ask for a family card to be a condition of our administration, so that we know exactly, who is a member of the Mother's family" replied Mr. RT.

    "Surely, yes sir, I will hand over the family card later. Thank you .., I'll tell you later. But frankly the evidence on our family card his father did not come here. Sorry, we're not with the kids. Just me and three small children .." replied the wife to Mr. RT.

    "Lho, why ...?" ask Mr. RT.

    "My husband is married again, Mr. RT .... And we were driven out of our house." so answered Isti who certainly while shedding tears.

    "I'm sorry, Mom .... It's okay .... Usually if men get seduced. Usually because of money and women. But it's okay, just collect the family card, for administrative conditions." replied Mr. RT.

    "Yes, Sir .... Actually my husband was remarried in Jakarta without my knowledge, and I was expelled from the house, because his house was sold. And of course to finance life with his new wife. That's why we came here, loaned the house with the owner of the house. Frankly we apologize if there will be activities that have to cost, most likely I am not willing to have to finance my household and children .... Just pray that I can get sustenance, Mr. ..." so said Isti who increasingly looks sobs.

    "Oh, yes .... It's okay, Mother .... I know .... The important thing is that later Mother adjusts to the activities of the neighbors, so that we are here all living in harmony" said Mr. RT giving advice to Isti.

    "Thank you, Mr. RT .... If so, we beg you to go home. Want to organize our things.

    "Yes, Mommy .... Be careful ..." replied Mr. RT.

    I'm back in his new home. Will certainly arrange the goods and also cook for his son. But certainly, of course, he was happy first because it was acceptable to his neighbors. Even the neighbors are ready to go shopping at his place. The acquaintance with the neighbors and Mr. RT who suddenly it, has been treating his heart when rejected by his former neighbors.
