BERHALA ISLAND
EPISODE 91: ASKING FOR A BABY

    That morning, when going to work on the exterior interior design manufacturing site, Bang Kohar accidentally stopped by the Lesti store. Bang Kohar pretends to buy daily necessities. Yes, Bang Kohar buys cigarettes and coffee. He said to relieve drowsiness, as a reliever and and a katanta to seek inspiration.

    "What do you want to buy, Bang Kohar ...?" ask Lesti who certainly must be friendly to buyers, especially those who are already customers.

    "Regular, Lesti Tea .... Buy cigarettes ..., same coffee ..." Bang Kohar replied.

    "Well, match that .... Drinking coffee while smoking cigarettes .... Enjoy life yes, Bang Kohar ..." said Lesti of course with a smile.

    "Yes .., just in case you get sleepy .... Drink coffee as a coworker so as not to sleepy, Lesti Tea .... This is Teh Lesti's husband, Mr. Podin mah, where, Tea?" bang Kohar asked Lesti while paying for his groceries.

    "Search for souvenirs, Bang Kohar .... The plan is to go to Jakarta, Bang Kohar, for business in Jakarta. Understandably we are lacking capital .... Our money is over .... Therefore, Akang Podin planned to go to Jakarta, at least want to borrow money from his business in Jakarta, Bang Kohar." said Lesti to Bang Kohar.

    "Oh ..., so Mr. Podin's got business in Jakarta too huh, Teh Lesti?" bang Kohar asked Lesti, who was certainly amazed.

    "Betul .., Bang Kohar .... Before my wife, Akang Podin, her business was in Jakarta. When yesterday had a fire, I was invited there to see his business. Therefore, Akang Podin kept asking me to open a business in Padalarang's grocery store .... At least I have a business here, to be able to add to meet the needs of life. Can be for daily meals, Bang Kohar ...." so replied Lesti which of course explains that his business can at least be used to connect the needs of daily life and also as a support for Podin business in Jakarta.

    "If you may know, Lesti Tea .... That Mr. Podin has what business in Jakarta?" tanya Bang Kohar who is certainly curious because he wants to know the business managed by Podin.

    "Karaoke place, Bang Kohar .... For entertainment, so .... Mah's building, big pisan .... High building. Said the people there, said the employee was mah, rame pisan, Bang Kohar" said Lesti who explained to Bang Kohar.

    "Like that, huh ...? Well, Mr. Podin is indeed a successful businessman .... Can open a business here and there." so said Bang Kohar who of course while praising the greatness of Lesti's husband.

    "Yes, like that, Bang Kohar ..., whose name life must definitely be a business .... If I didn't have this kind of business, I might not have a place to stay anymore, Bang Kohar" Lesti told Bang Kohar, half complaining.

    "Lhah ..., indeed why can't it have a place to stay, Lesti Tea?" tanya Bang Kohar's.

    "Yes, Bang Kohar .... Our former home, for our residence, was requested by my sister, the Joni .... I was told to give in to Kang Podin .... Then Mother and Father, come with us, stay with us. Hence, this place is for shop and home .... Here we lived four, Father, Mother, me and Akang Podin .... As a place to live and place of business." so replied Lesti to Bang Kohar who explained also that the place of business was also used as a place to live, because they no longer have a home, because they no longer have a home, after his inheritance was requested by his sister.

    "Oh .., like that .... Sorry, Lesti Tea, does Lesti Tea already have children?" asked Bang Kohar who was starting to be curious about the baby that last night appeared from inside the treasure chest that he bought yesterday from Lesti.

    "It just so happens that I haven't had a child, Bang Kohar .... Pray for me yes, Bang Kohar ..., so that we quickly have children ..." said Lesti while looking down sad, who of course also wanted to have children, Lesti said, when he heard asked by Bang Kohar about the child.

    "Yes, Lesti Tea .... Hopefully, Lesti Tea will soon be blessed with a child." replied Bang Kohar who also followed the loss of his smile.

    "Thank you, Bang Kohar ..." replied Lesti happily.

    "I pray that Tea Lesti quickly have children. Mr. Podin to be pleased. Her grandparents could carry grandchildren ..." said Bang Kohar who encouraged Lesti. But actually, Bang Kohar began to be disappointed, of course because he could not find an answer, whose baby came out of the treasure chest he had.

    "Thank you, Bang Kohar .... I am also .... Praying to have children soon. May I also be blessed with descendants, Bang Kohar .... Because he said, if women do not have offspring it is timid. It is said to be barren ..." so replied Lesti who of course he also heard a lot of people's words, if the woman who does not have children must bear her own moral burden, and usually by the brothers or neighbors are said to be barren women, have no self-esteem, and have no meaning, because they have no offspring.

    "Thank you, Lesti Tea .... I want to go to work" said Bang Kohar who had paid and bailed to leave for work.

    "Mango .., Bang Kohar .... May Bang Kohar also be successful in his life, in his career, in his work ..." said Lesti who then looked at the man who stepped away from the stall with a shaky path. Of course because what is expected to question the origin of the crate will be extinct with no results.

    In the afternoon, after returning home from work, Bang Kohar observed the treasure chest that he was still rubbing with his hands gently, as if Bang Kohar felt that the chest was like a baby last night he had seen the creatures that inhabit in the chest, and Bang Kohar seemed to be stroking the body of the baby.

    Surely Bang Kohar felt sorry for the baby when he saw her crying, who seemed thirsty to ask for mother's milk. Bang Kohar believes, surely this baby is suffering, this baby is experiencing misery. It is possible that this baby did not have time to***** his mother's milk. It is also possible that the baby has been the victim of violence from his own mother.

    Bang Kohar started thinking negatively. It is possible that the baby was deliberately dumped by his parents. Perhaps because his presence was not expected by his parents. It could be because the baby was born out of wedlock, or maybe the man who impregnated the woman who gave birth was not willing to take responsibility and did not admit the baby. Perhaps her mother, who could not accept the reality of the baby's presence, threw the baby away. It could be, the crate that was used to throw the unexpected baby away. Yes, a good crate is used to put the baby, so that people who see it are interested and immediately take the crate.

    But Bang Kohar was still pondering, who exactly had the baby, who exactly put the baby in the crate? Bang Kohar also wanted to know if the crate was indeed used intentionally to dispose of the baby, was the baby alive or dead? If the baby is dead, then where is the original body of the baby? If it is buried, where is the baby's grave?

    Bang Kohar also began to think, is it possible that the baby's body was buried naturally? Or was the baby missing from the coffin because it was eaten by a wild animal? But why did the chest appear the spirit of the baby? If indeed the chest was filled with ores that were killed by his parents, the baby who was deliberately discarded by his parents, surely the spirit became curious. And usually, such a wandering spirit will definitely look for the target of people who want to maintain or care for him. If you meet a good person, the body will probably be searched and if you meet it will be buried properly. But if he meets a greedy person, he will definitely use the ghost of heaven as a tuyul. The tuyul will be told to find money to accumulate wealth.

    But there is still a question that stuck in the mind of Bang Kohar, how could the chest fall into the hands of Mr. Podin? How can the coffin be kept by Pak Podin?

    So actually, Bang Kohar had a desire to meet directly with Podin, who certainly wanted to ask the origin of the antique chest that now belongs to him. And of course, Bang Kohar wants to know who really owns the chest.

    But unfortunately, Podin will already leave for Jakarta. And of course, Podin is now busy, because Podin, as told by Lesti to Bang Kohar, has a business in Jakarta. And of course Podin who will take care of his men and definitely check his business in Jakarta, is now busy to prepare anything that will be brought to Jakarta. Moreover, Podin is the leader of the company, as well as the owner of the place of business, of course, not only did Podin visit his men, but also will take care of various things.

    Bang Kohar had to wait patiently for the return of Podin from Jakarta. And if a company boss controls the place of business, certainly not enough for two days. It could be days.

    "Yes .... Must be patient to meet Pak Podin ..." muttered Bang Kohar while stroking his antique chest. Treasure chests like those of Alibaba.
