BERHALA ISLAND
EPISODE 89: THE SALE OF TREASURE CHESTS

    The treasure of Podin is gone. Everything has been sold for business capital, for Lesti's sake. His treasure has changed into shophouses and businesses owned by his wife. And last night, the little remaining jewels were all taken away. The two treasure chests were empty without anything.

    But last night after the rest of the jewelry was taken, and put in his pocket, Podin forgot his casket which was still lying in his wife's trading place. As Podin took the necklace, bracelet and coins from the gold coins into his pocket, he hurried back to the bedroom on the second floor. The treasure chest he brought from the Island of Idols was left behind just like that in the shophouse, lying just like that in his wife's trading place.

    In the morning, after breakfast, and after saying goodbye to his wife, Podin just left the house, will immediately leave, which of course will sell his jewelry. And he did forget, regardless of the crate that was left last night in his wife's shop. The treasure chest where the jewels were still lying there. So that the two crates seemed to also be part of the merchandise in his shop Lesti.

    Indeed, Podin looks hasty, wants to immediately sell the jewelry that is still a little. Of course, he has money that can be used to meet the needs of his life. At least in his wallet was money. So Podin wanted to sell his jewelry immediately, without the knowledge of his wife.

    "Where is Podin going?" ask his wife who knows that her husband is in a hurry to leave.

    "This .... Want car service ..." said Podin lying to his wife.

    "Be careful, Kang ..." said Lesti.

    "Yes ..." calm the heart of Podin, who certainly his wife believed in him.

    After Podin's departure, there was a middle-aged man who would shop at Lesti's shop. That person has become a loyal customer, who always buy cigarettes and other needs in the Lesti store. I've been shopping since the first time Lesti opened.

    "Good morning, Tea ..." said the man to Lesti.

    "Eh .., Bang Kohar .... Morning, Bang Kohar .... Going to work, yeah ...?" sahut Lesti on the fat man and the brewokan, whose name is Bang Kohar, a handyman making exterior interior design.

    "Yes, Lesti Tea .... Stop shopping first ..." replied Bang Kohar.

    "Please, Bang Kohar ..... What do you want to shop?" ask Lesti who is in his frame, and of course ready to serve these buyers. And Lesti's cleverness is friendly to his customers. Therefore, the buyers in the store are immediately happy and certainly become loyal customers. Basically Lesti is beautiful, good at seducing customers. Hence the Lesti store immediately sold.

    "This, Lesti Tea .... Want to shop soy sauce, saos, same instant noodles .... And don't forget, Tea ..., my favorite cigarette .... Hehe ..." said the fat man.

    Yes, this Bang Kohar lives alone in a rented house. Usually, in regional areas the workers usually live alone in a boarding place or in a contract place. So that he freely without hesitation to shop for himself, meet the needs of his own life. If lazy to cook, usually snack at the food stall. But if you are frugal, you can shop for staples in the shop and cook yourself. Like Bang Kohar, middle-aged men who work as if relaxed, then without hesitation to go into the store, he will also shop to meet the needs of his daily life. Buy instant noodles and eggs, almost every day. So his body fat because often eat mis same egg.

    "Please take it, choose it yourself, Bang Kohar ..." said Lesti who allowed the buyer to take his own goods.

    As usual, Bang Kohar immediately took the shopping cart, and put his groceries into the basket he was in. Bang Kohar roving looking for items his needs.

    "Waduh, Lesti Tea .... This is how there is such a treasure chest ...? The shape is very good, Tea ..." said Bang Kohar who while walking around looking for his groceries suddenly saw there was a good chest in the store's merchandise.

    "What ..., Bang ...?" asked the curious Lesti, as he felt he had never sold such strange trades.

    "This, Tea .... His chest was Alibaba ..." said the fat man who had lifted one of the crates, and showed Lesti.

    "Walah .., I don't even know this, Bang ..." said Lesti who was certainly confused, because he had never seen the chest shown by Bang Kohar.

     "It's a good narang, Tea .... It's like Alibaba's treasure chest .... It's got its embellishments that are like gold coated .... Wow, this is an antique, Tea .... This box is for sale, Tea?" tanya Bang Kohar who already holds a treasure chest in the Lesti trading place.

    "I don't even know, Bang Kohar .... Try later I asked Kang Podin first ..." said Lesti who was certainly confused after seeing the antique chest. Indeed, in the trading place there are two chests, a kind of ancient fairy tale, about the very antique treasure chest. But Lesti did not know at all about the item that had been observed by the buyer.

    "Please ask Kang Podin, Tea .... If this box wants to be sold, I want to buy ..." said Bang Kohar who apparently interested in the antique and unique items.

    "Yes, Bang Kohar .... I will ask my husband first, yes .... I don't know who the treasure chest is, whose antiques it belongs to. Later I ask Kang Podin, if it really wants to be sold please just later afternoon here again, Bang Kohar ...." said Lesti, of course, she was still hesitant about the two items, whether choosing her husband or someone else's, or maybe the item was taken from anyone who put it there.

    "Yes, Lesti Tea .... Later in the afternoon, home from work I will stop by here .... I hope this stuff is sold. I like it, Tea .... I'll buy it, I'll pay .... Yes .., I want to make some kind of antique decoration. I see, Lesti Tea" said the buyer, then after paying for his groceries, Bang Kohar went home, and of course hoped that the coffin owned by Podin would be sold and will be bought.

    During the day, after Podin came home and just got the money from the sale of the rest of his jewelry, of course, Podin was happy, because he had earned money. And now, his wealth obtained from the island of Berhala, now it is completely exhausted. But the pockets of Podin are already full of money.

    "It's over, Kang?" ask her husband who knows he is coming home.

    "Yes, Lesti .... Not bad .... The name is also an old motorbike, must be serviced regularly. Let's not go on strike. I had to go to the bank to get the money. Now Akang's savings are a little. Well, his name is also open business .... Must need capital, Lesti .... It does seem that I have to make some more money, Lesti .." said Podin, giving him an envelope with money. It is not much, but at least enough to increase business capital.

     "Akang Podin why repot themselves so ...? Lesti said, if our business later, the money we turn .... The purchase is from items that have been sold .... Me, mah .., pity the Akang .... Make money continuously for additional store modes. My mah, pity the Akang Podin .... The money runs out for the capital Lesti ..." said his wife who certainly returned to the shoot to her husband, and certainly Lesti also felt guilty, because it had spent a lot of money to open his business.

    "It's okay, Lesti .... This is money for additional capital of our business. Just take it ..." said Podin, who had given his wife the envelope.

    "Well, this money is for Akang alone .... Biat handle Akang .... Don't let Akang not bring any money at all. Later if Akang needs anything, there is still money in the pocket of Akang .... Don't spend it all, Akang." said Lesti who certainly wants her husband to keep hold of the money.

    "Yes ..., right, Akang .... Like that .... Oh, yes, Kang .... This earlier, there was a person who asked ..., about the chest that was in front of it .... Whose box is that in front of you? It was going to be bought by people ..." asked Lesti to her husband, about the box or treasure chest in his shop.

    "What box, Lesti?" podin asked who was not aware of the item said by his wife.

    "That, Akang .... The box in front of it .... At the front end of our shop it's .." said Lesti while showing a treasure box, sort of like the one in old tales.

    "Oh ..., this, Lesti .... Yes, this is Akang's. I used to wear clothes. Understandably, when in Jakarta Akang did not have a closet .., then Akang used this box to store clothes. Akang time is still kost. And this box, if I go anywhere, I take it for clothes. I know I don't wear a suitcase. Akang naroh clothes, naroh clothes in the box .... Hehe ..." said Podin to his wife, explaining that the antique box was his, of course, smiling because it looked like a village.

    "This box is used to store clothes, Akang? Modern era mah, wear it must be inserted suitcase or clothing bag. Do not wear this kind of box, Akang ..." said Lesti who told her husband, at least if you keep the clothes in a suitcase or bag.

    "Yes, Lesti .... It's a memento of old times ..., the first time Akang entered Jakarta. Akang mah, confused about what to wear .... No suitcases .... It's just the kayak box .... I wear it .... Yes, it's good that just to store clothes can still." so said Podin who pretended that the crate was where his clothes were.

    "Yes, Kang .... But the box is still to be used, isn't it? Earlier this morning there was a thing, the box was to be purchased, to be paid the same Bang Kohar .... Can what not? If Lesti mah, it's okay, if there is someone who wants to buy, yes just give it, we just sell the chest .... Rather than looking for a place here. Bang Kohar said, the crate is like an antique .... He likes it, Kang .... That's why it wants to be bought" said Lesti who said, if this morning the chest belongs to Podin it will be purchased by someone.

    "What is it, Lesti ...? Who wants to buy a box like that? It was an ordinary coffin .., not an antique" Podin told his wife.

    "Yes, Akang .... But Bang Kohar likes .... He said, he said this chest is like a treasure chest in his story Alibaba .... He wants to buy, he said for decoration in his house" said Lesti who certainly conveyed the intention of Bang Kohar who would buy the crate.

    "Yes, if Bang Kohar is willing to buy this box .., yes we just sell it .... Why do we put the barking stuff in the store, even menuh-uhin place. Like the word, we throw things away but get money. Said he'd pay how much?" asked Podin to his wife, who of course was curious that the box was liked by people and would be bought.

    "Not yet, Akang .... Later in the afternoon he will be here again .... After work, he wants to come here .... Ask the Akang .... Want to sell what not the crate" said Lesti next.

    "Yes, Lesti .... We just sell it, so we can get money for our additional needs" said Podin to Lesti, who of course asked for an opinion, if the chest would be sold only.

    "Yes, Kang .... Let's just sell the crate" Lesti told her husband, who agreed that it would be for sale.

    Yes, two fairly large crates that of course if you are in the Lesti store, will fill the place. And certainly also bothers people who will take groceries. Will cover Lesti's merchandise, and of course it will interfere with people who will buy goods, because it is blocked by the crates. It is not appropriate to put in the place of sembako trade. Items such as a chest belonging to Podin it deserves to be placed on top of a decorative closet, or in a special place as an antique, as a decoration.

    "Kang, if the antique box is for sale, how much, Kang? ask her husband.

    "No idea, Lesti .... Let that person pay what later, we love. The important thing is that the item he took, did not fill the place here. If Bang Kohar also gives us money, just accept it .... It's sustenance, Lesti .." said Podin.

    "Rubber, Kang ..." said Lesti who strongly agreed.

    And true. That afternoon, Bang Kohar who came home from work, immediately stopped by the Lesti store. He came to Lesti's shop, who immediately went back to observe the chest that had been held this morning. The fat man and the brewpub lamgsung inquired back about his antiques. That beautiful ancient treasure chest, which is often seen in movies as a treasure chest, as it has always been a snatch by pirates. A treasure chest taken by Alibaba from a cave belonging to nine robbers to hide his stolen treasure.

    "How about, Lesti Tea ...? Has the Father come? Can this box be sold?" said Bang Kohar who would have been curious about the antique chest in the Lesti store.

    "Yes, Bang Kohar .... This is mah, if you want to buy Bang Kohar. My husband told me, may Bang Kohar ..." said Lesti to the newly arrived fat man.

    "Wah ..., my gravestone ..." said Bang Kohar who was certainly very happy.

    "Bang Kohar, how much do you want to buy? How much do you want to pay?" ask Lesti.

    "It's both I buy all, Tea ..." said Bang Kohar.

    "Yes, Bang Kohar .... Please if you want to be taken all" said Lesti.

    "How much is it, Tea?" ask the man who had been eyeing the box from this morning.

    "Mango, Bang Kohar .... Please, how much you want to pay, the important thing is worth the price according to Bang Kohar." replied Lesti who did not know the price.

    "Yes, Lesti Tea .... This Lesti Tea cook not give price .... Well, Tea Lesti .., this I pay five hundred rubu ..." said Bang Kohar, who of course immediately took out the wallet and took the money from his wallet.

    Of course Lesti was happy, because the junkyard, which was considered meaningless and was considered to only fill the place, was bothering people shopping, and was, now the item will actually be paid half a million by the fat man and the bewok. Lesti will get a lot of money.

    "Yes, Bang Kohar .... Thank you, Bang ...." Lesti also immediately received money from the fat and bewok man, who liked the antiques.

    The man immediately lifted the two antique chests, and was shouldered to take home, as was the case when Podin brought them out of the palace of Pulau Berhala.
