BERHALA ISLAND
EPISODE 7: LUXURY HOUSE

    Podin felt fit into the housing shown by Mr. Mandor. Very nice house. Unlike his gubug-like home, which his neighbors always ridicule. He was already annoyed with his neighbors who were always mocking. Especially with people who have stalls, where his wife is always made fun of if shopping often owes. Of course it causes Podin sometimes not at home in his village, even sometimes Podin wants to run away from the reality of it all, because it is often insulted, because it is often ridiculed by his neighbors.

    But when given the picture that living in luxurious housing is good, the people are all busy with their respective affairs, everything is busy with their respective work, so Podin feel comfortable, so he will feel comfortable, will be peaceful living in luxury housing with neighbors people who will not take care of themselves or their families. In fact, there later between one neighbor and another neighbor will not take care of each other. Even the neighbors around them may not know each other. That is why Podin felt fit with the picture conveyed by Mr. Mandor, to have a house in the housing.

    Finally, Mr. Mandor who was in contact with Podin, arrived at the entrance gate of the elite housing. Just entered, at the gate, with a large gate and there is a post, a gate guarded by security guards, not only one security guard, there are two security guards who stop the vehicle Mr. foreman, he said, then quizzing.

    "Where are you going, sir?" ask the security guard to the foreman who was in contact with Podin. Although Mr. Mandor worked with the boss of the developer who bought the housing, but not familiar with Mr. Mandor. Administrative affairs are different.

    "This ..., would like to see this housing .... My friend wants to buy a house here" said the foreman who had stopped in front of the security guard post.

    "Come, Sir .... You should not muter-muter in the housing complex, you should just go directly to marketing .... Later there you will be served by marketing, you will be shown any kapling that will be built, any kapling that will be sold .... Later you can choose what you want, the building, the model, the shape, the place .... All of that will be directly asked to marketing, sir .... That's where the marketing office is right there, in the front of the building .., that's it, there's the marketing office writing." the security guard told Mr. Mandor and Podin.

    "Oh yes, Mr .... Thank you" said the foreman who then ran his vehicle again to propel Podin to the marketing. The distance is close to the security guard post at the front gate of the housing.

    While walking towards the marketing site, Podin asked Mr. Mandor, "Pak Mandor .., how does Housing have a security guard, sir?" ask Podin to Mr. Mandor.

    "Hloh .., how are you, Din .... The ones in charge of maintaining security in the housing were the guards .... The name is just luxury housing, the goods here are all luxury, Din .... The goods owned by residents here, in this housing it is all expensive goods, Din .... Lah if no one guards, if there is no security guard, yes later maling in and out, Din .... Later the inhabitants, the people who live here, who have this housing, can turn all over, Din." so explained Mr. Mandor to Podin.

    "Oh, so yes Sir .... So there's no need for night patrols here, sir .." said Podin.

    "God .., Din .... You are out of date .... You're kuper, less association .... Don't know how to live in luxury housing .... Yes it's nice to live in that luxurious house just like that, Din .... There are guards, there are guards who control the perimeter at all times watching the house, securing the environment. So there is no patrol shift, no one has to be literate at night around the village, no filial work, Din .... Such activities are all the activities of the village people .... If here everything is busy, everything has worked all day to overtime, tired .... Kok is still told to patrol, yes it is not his time anymore, Din .... That is why they are here guarded by security guards, secured by security guards, supervised by security guards. You see for yourself, we just entered it was stopped by the security guard, all that, the guards were on guard so that the environment was safe. That's it, Din." explained Mr. Mandor to Podin.

    "Ooo .... Like that, Mr. Mandor." said Podin who did not know that in luxury housing was guarded by security guards in full.

    Finally Mr. Mandor with Podin stopped in front of the building where there was the inscription "Marketing Office". The foreman got off the vehicle with Podin, and after parking the vehicle, headed straight for the marketing room,

    At the marketing building, Mr. Mandor and Podin were immediately greeted by beautiful women who were ready to receive the arrival of guests. Must have been contacted by the security guard standing guard at the front gate.

    "Good morning, Mr .... Can we help you?" so said the beautiful woman who served as a marketing officer in that place.

    "Sorry, Ma'am .... This is my friend looking for a house in this house. He wants to buy a house, can it still be, Ma'am? Please help yes, Ma'am ..." said Mr. Mandor to women who work as marketing in the space.

    "Oh, of course you can, sir .... We are ready to help .... Let's Mr. .., please sit down." said the woman who stood guard in the marketing room, allowing Mr. Mandor and Podin to sit in front of the table in the marketing room.

    "Sorry, Ma'am .., I am Mr. Jon's man. I happen to be the foreman who trusted Mr. Jon to oversee the project in the area. Well, it just so happens that my friend wants to buy a good house. Please help yes, Ma'am .." said Mr. Mandor who called himself also his worker Mr. Jon.

    "Read More .... Mr. Jon is also here often, sir .... Yesterday Mr. Jon brought a buyer here too. Well, look, Mr .... What kind of house will you buy? What kind of type? How much land area? Later we will wake up according to your request" said the woman who became a marketing officer to Mr. Mandor and Podin.

    "Hloh, Ma'am ..., if the ready-made ones, are there not? Do I have to wake up first?" ask Mr. Mandor to the marketing officer.

    "Hlo ..., this foreman is what .... Mr. Mandor was Mr. Jon's men .... It should already know the procedure of buying housing in our homes .... If his friend Mr. Mandor is going to buy a house, it should be ordered first .... Later after the finished sign is completed, newly awakened .... Housing here is the name of a wake-up message, sir .... If no one has ordered, we dare not wake up. In accordance with the wishes of the buyer? If for example the buyer wants to add this add it .... I'm bothered, sir .... Well, if later we have built, it turns out no one bought ..., how?" the woman explained to the foreman and Podin.

    "Oo ..., no stock, yes ...? I guess something wasn't bought by the order .... Who knows if there are already buildings here" said Mr. Mandor of course thought that in the housing there is something that is not taken..

    "Oh, yes .., yes, sir .... Sorry, if it's like that, want to pass the hand, which is there ....  If you want, in a place a bit to the end there, there is already ready to be directly inhabited .... The owner moved in, the house was for sale. Sorry, Mr. ..., if for example you want to occupy a house that used to have that person, what do you want? It was the former property of the official ..." said the female marketing officer to Mr. Mandor and Podin.

    "What do you mean, ma'am?" ask Mr. Mandor who would like to know the state of the house.

    "Look, Sir ..... The house used to belong to an office. Because by chance the service was moved outside Java, then the house was empty, no one occupied. Well, rather than the house is empty, costing maintenance, by the owner, the house is returned to us to be offered if anyone wants to buy. But, yes frankly, Pak building is so that you can not choose again, can not determine the model, can not determine the type, and can not determine what shape the building like. Because this has been so according to the order of the officials who used to buy." so the marketing officer said to Mr. Mandor and Podin.

    "Aw .... Look, Ma'am .... Can we see the house that belongs to the official who wants to be sold? Who knows Mr. Podin fits the model, with the building" Mr. Mandor told the woman.

    "Can, Sir .... Later I will call the officer who will deliver to the house" said the woman who then raised HP calling another employee.

    A short time later, a man riding a motorcycle came to the marketing office. Then the young man who rode the motorcycle invited Mr. Mandor and Podin to see the official's house offered by the marketing department. Not long riding his motorbike, because it is close to the marketing office. Two motorcycles that go hand in hand have arrived at the intended house, which is a magnificent and nice building. But unfortunately, the building has been a few months not occupied by the owner, because the owner moved duties. So the floor is dirty with dust.

    "This, sir ..., is his home" said the man in charge of marketing.

    "How much does this cost, Mom?" ask Podin.

    "Gee .... If this one asks for one and a half billion, sir .." replied the employee who delivered it.

    "Huh ...?! One and a half billion ...?" Mr. Mandor was buzzing, astonished by the fantastic price.

    "Yes, Sir .... This is good, sir. The sale of All in .... With goods. It's all done, stay in without bringing new stuff .... Everything is complete, sir .... Frankly this is because the owner was an official, because he moved duties, now he was assigned to other areas outside Java, then this house was abandoned. But apparently because he will settle in a new workplace, he decided that this house will be sold only. Last month it was handed over to the marketing for help this house sold for one and a half billion .... Come sir, please come in .... We'll see the inside of this house" said the officer.

    "Wah .., that's so cool .... Very good, Mr. Mandor ..." said Podin.

    "Haha .... Yes this, Din .... The name of the luxury house is like this .... Tomorrow if so you buy, the floor is directly on the mop .... Must be shiny, Din ..." said Mr. Mandor.

    "Come, sir .., please look at the inside" said the marketing officer, then the marketing officer opened the front door and invited 2 prospective buyers in.

    Then the three people entered the room. The first thing I saw was the living room. In the living room there are also good guest chairs but wall hangings have been taken by the owner. Usually family photos are already taken. Only the furniture is left behind. Of course, if the furniture is difficult to carry, because it is a large size and also heavy. If moved out of Java it is impossible to transport it. At least it should be put on the ship.

    Indeed, usually such rich people, officials who always move tasks, furniture is always left behind and sold as well as the contents of his house. The problem is impractical and uneconomical. It will actually spend time and spend money to be carried around from one place to another. Usually, only valuables or items that have historical values, such as family photos or souvenirs from officials or from abroad.

    "Look Mr .... This is the guest room, it's quite big, sir" said the marketing officer.

    "Wah .., this is a large living room .... Especially the chair .... Wow .., that's great .... Look at this, Din ..." said Mr. Mandor to Podin, who has never seen any good stuff, never seen a luxury home. So when he watched the guest room, he was already ticking in awe. He could only shake his head, a sign of astonishment, a sign of amazement with the house on offer.

    "Well ..., this is Mr .... This is the room section. This room has three. So later, because this room there are three, can be for children, and can be for Father Mother. This, Mr .... This is called the family room. Take a look, Mr .... His family room is also good. The living room is big" said the marketing officer who showed the rooms with beds and a very nice living room. A fairly large family room. In the living room there is also a sofa. Usually this family room is used for the whole family to watch television or tell stories and share their feelings.

    Podin who had never seen what a bedroom was called, when he went into one of the bedrooms, he tried to sit on his bed, very soft.

    "This is called a luxury bed .... This is the name of the rich man's bed .... The mattress is soft and bulging" said Mr. Mandor who showed off to Podin.

    Podin, who had put his ass on the bed, really felt how good it was to be rich. You can enjoy sleeping on a soft bed. The room was quite large, even in the corner of the bedroom there was still a dresser with glasses. But his stuff is no longer there. Of course, if the makeup items are usually carried by the owner.

    Then in the corner of the other room, there is a wardrobe, a fairly large closet made of wood that looks slim. Real good. Intentionally by the owner. Because of the size of the closet. It must have been hard to get him to move to a faraway place. Moreover, said the marketing officer, the original owner was moved to work outside the island, out of Java.

    "Well, this is the sir whose name is the family room. This space is just as big as this. This room is perfect for large families, sir .... For example, if fitting Lebaran, his brothers on coming, his family on here, this is enough to be used for chatting, to chat together, to chat with the family. Good, sir." said the marketing officer.

    "Gee .... If this is really a very nice house, Din .... If I have money, I want to have a house like this, Din ..." so Mr. Mandor said to Podin, who of course Mr. Mandor hopes that Podin will buy the house.

    "Moreover ..., this loh ..., see .... The sofa seats alone cost millions .... This expensive .... Cook left alone, given to the buyer." continued Mr. Mandor.

    "Rubber, Sir .... All the contents of this house by the owner was deliberately used as a package with this house to be sold. Yes, because it was a rich man, sir .... He's a high-ranking official, so the money's a lot .... Yeah, if it's just a house like this, small, sir .... Moreover, only furniture like this, for them there is no meaning .... Buy these kayak gini items, if this rich person is like buying fried beans, sir." said the marketing officer.

    Podin said nothing. He can only be surprised. Wonder and wonder. Podin could only be astonished, amazed and amazed. Yes, indeed all of that had never been imagined by Podin, although he wanted to be a rich man, but had never seen what the situation of the rich man was like. What the rich man's condition is. What is the rich man's house like. All he knew was the huts from the old boards, with no furniture at all. Even the name of the bed is only from used wood nailed, then on it put used mattresses that have been discarded by neighbors. So when he saw the state of the house that is very luxurious, saw the furniture that is very good, Podin can only be amazed many times. He can only swallow, because he really wants to immediately have a house like that.

    "Let's sir, we go back .... This is called the dining room .... It's a simple dining room, sir .., not so big, but if it's just for the family, this room is enough. Well, this is too. There's still a desk chair, sir .... Dining table chairs are all made of teak wood. This is very good, sir. The seats have four. Well, later if the family father is there more, can buy another chair" said the marketing officer explained to Podin. In a room that only measures three times three meters is where the dining room is available a round table with four chairs that surround the table.

    Then in the corner of the table, in the corner of the dining room, there was a refrigerator. Then there is a shelf that contains a tableware device.

    "Well, if this is the kitchen, sir. The stove was left, sir. This they don't carry stoves, don't carry gas cylinders. This is all left, sir. Look at this, Mr. ..., the kitchen is clean and nice. The stove alone is four stoves, sir. It's a big stove. So if the father wants to cook for the crowd, it can be cooked with these four furnaces at once, sir" the marketing officer told Podin.

    Again, Podin could only swallow. He had never seen a gas stove. He had never seen a good kitchen with a sink, which had a faucet with water that immediately flowed, he was also confused to see the kitchen space that was much different from his kitchen space. If in the hut Podin kitchen is a room with a bed, the kitchen is only made of piles of bricks plastered, the kitchen there is no gas cylinder, but there is only a pile of firewood. The kitchen is certainly very dirty with soot attached to the walls, very dirty with gray burning leftovers from firewood used for cooking, and so on, also full of scribbles of charcoal scars that stick or scratch on the walls. But the kitchen in this luxurious house is really very clean, as if never used. That's what makes Podin more confused, the more he does not understand, the more he does not understand the grandeur of the house owned by the rich.

    "Well, sir take a look. This is a washing place. The washing machine was also left, sir. So indeed all the household furniture in this house is not carried by the owner. Yes, he said at that time the owner was transferred suddenly. But the name of the official, Mr. .., went suddenly he was there also immediately could have a good house. Maybe even there his house is better than this, because he will rise in office. Automatically the salary is bigger, the money is more. Well, this, sir ..., this is a washing place. Then the one over here to hang up his clothes. Well, this one's the clothesline is still there. See, Mr. .., this at the back of the house there is still the rest of the land that the old owner used to grow ornamental plants, for the beauty used to be here covered with all orchids, all orchids,  Sir. But now it is not there because the orchid is good, then by the owner of the orchids it was brought to a new home. Understandably, Mr. .., the rich orchid flowers are expensive, and orchids are usually rare. So they brought to his new home to be planted there." explained the marketing officer.

    That's when Podin witnessed the beauty of the luxury house offered by Mr. Mandor.
