BROMOCORAS
Nugroho Sastro Darmono's?

This morning Manan after the bandongan had stayed in Ajimukti's room. They included Dullah planning to visit Prastowo's house. As Manan said to Ajimukti the other day that Anggoro will come today. But Dullah did not know about Anggoro's arrival. Both Ajimukti and Manan deliberately wanted to surprise Dullah.

They are now seen starting to walk away from Ajimukti's room. Ajimukti and Manan walked in rows while Dullah tailed behind them.

Without the three of them guessing when they reached the courtyard of the boarding school mosque they again passed by Budi and the Genk. Ajimukti tried to throw a smile with a greeting.

"Assalamu'alaikum, Mas Budi, Mas Khalil, Mas Imam." Ajimukti even slightly lowered his body.

But who would have thought, Budi was so indifferent and did not answer the Ajimukti greeting. It was precisely the look full of wrath and the ridiculing cynical smile he gave Ajimukti.

"Wa Idza huyyiitum bitakiyyatin fahayyuwa biahsana minhaa aurudduuhaa, innallaaha katana 'alayaa kulli syai'in hasiiban. When you are honored with an honor, then repay that honor with something better than him, or repay that honor with something similar. Verily Allah counts all things”. Ajimukti said that without turning his head towards the three seniors who had walked across beside him.

Instantly Budi stopped following Khalil and Imam. He looks like a grin.

"You insinuating me? The kid yesterday afternoon just belagu you that." Said Budi cynically.

"Sorry, Mas Budi. I don't feel insinuating to anyone. Me and Manan also Lek Dullah are discussing the letter of An-nisa Verse 86." Answer Ajimukti calmly. "Does Mas Budi feel shunned? Really forgive my stupidity is Mas Budi, if my words are impressed like insinuating Mas Budi and Mas Mas senior all of you. And I really have no intention of that." Ajimukti once again bowed his body.

Budi just smiled cynically, "Indeed talkative you're the new kid."

Khalil and Imam immediately grabbed Budi's arm and took him away. They both knew if this was left unchecked it could cause more trouble.

Budi furiously and so upset finally followed when his two friends took him away. His hands seemed to be clenched and his gaze pointed towards Ajimukti.

Ajimukti only remained calm with a smile that he deliberately threw at Budi. After Budi and the Genk passed, Dullah and Manan laughed out loud.

"Why are you laughing like that?" Ajimukti asked slightly frowned.

"No papa, Mom. Look at Budi's expression earlier so suddenly want to laugh." Dullah still seemed to hold back his laughter. While Ajimukti only light-headed geleng.

"Did I sound like I was insinuating Budi anyway, Lek?" Ask Ajimukti later.

Dullah looked up slightly, squinted his eyes, and his hand scratched his chin, "It doesn't seem like it, Mas? But hitting it hard." Instantly Dullah was widened in following Manan who also could not help but laugh at Dullah's curse.

Ajimukti also want to not laugh with them.

"But once it was necessary, Jik!" Sahut Manan added.

"Yes, if I have no intention of insinuating anyway, Nan. Just reminding me. As a Muslim, you can say that greeting as tahiyyat. Tribute. And the law says greetings is also only Sunnah for those who say. Precisely who is punished obligatory answer yes answer his greetings."

"But the moment was perfect, Jik." Timpal Manan again.

"Have you continued walking again?" Invite Ajimukti then precede the step towards Prastowo's house.

"Sometimes people like Budi do need to be given a little blow so that he is equally aware, Mas." Said Dullah while trailing behind Ajimukti and Manan.

"Yes, but it's too hard, Lek. I know Budi well. Since the beginning of entering here, it has been like that. It's back again because of the influence of his father." Manan continued walking.

"Yes, that's it, Nan. Butterfly and Lion are different." Sahut Ajimukti who walked beside him.

Manan glanced sharply at Ajimukti.

"What does a butterfly have to do with a lion, Jik? There's just you." Sahut Manan while shaking his head.

Ajimukti laughed, "Yes, you know for yourself, Nan. New butterfly cubs will be called butterflies like their mothers after passing through several processes. From a small egg to a caterpillar, it becomes a cocoon and then becomes a butterfly like their mother. Even they had to step aside, fasting away from the glitter of the world to be like their mother. And did anyone say the caterpillar was the butterfly's son? Nothing, Nan. Caterpillars are caterpillars. It is very different from a lion. Since they were born, they have been lions. And people will call the child a lion cub. Not another name." Ajimukti is like someone who is orating.

Manan immediately laughed, "I understand now, Jik. Right, Jik! Absolutely right. And that lion. He always wanted to be called a lion cub." Manan was still laughing after hearing Ajimukti's argument earlier.

Not felt, the conversation on the road made them not realize that they were approaching Prastowo's house at this time. And not long after they arrived at the courtyard of Prastowo's house.

Arriving in the courtyard of Prastowo's house, a white Toyota Rush car was parked there. Dullah observed the parked car. He was no stranger to the car. Ajimukti and Manan immediately invite Dullah in while holding their laughter because they both know whose car it is. Especially Manan.

Only after they said greetings from inside the house Prastowo came two adult men. One was stocky with a slightly dark skin color and the other was a lush body with a thick black mustache attached clearly to his face. Suddenly Dullah's smile grew.

"Well wow! There was a special guest. Mase Aji and Manan ngebet ngajak here." Seru Dullah immediately embraced Anggoro, Manan's father.

"Loh, so Manan didn't tell you, Dul?" Anggoro asked with his hoarse voice.

Manan only looks giggling behind Dullah.

"Let's go in first." Take Prastowo then.

"Well, Jeng. You at home? When back?" Asked Manan instantly as soon as he saw Ajeng.

"There's been a week, Nan." Sahut Ajeng while putting a coffee glass on the table.

"How are you doing back?" Ask Manan again.

"You rarely play here." Sahut Ajeng later.

"Yes, yesterday Ajeng also asked you, Nan. Yeah, didn't tell Wae that you might be busy at the boarding school." Timpal Prastowo's.

Ajimukti only sees the closeness of Ajeng and Manan. They seem very familiar. But Ajimukti was not surprised, because it saw also the closeness of Anggoro and Prastowo to date. And with them Ajimukti felt the warmth of a family.

Shortly after putting all the coffee cups to the table. The teaching went back to the back. For a moment Manan observed Ajeng's movements that seemed unusual.

"How's Mas Aji going?" Tanya Anggoro then leads to Ajimukti who sits in front of her.

Ajimukti upheld his seat, "All smoothly, Lek. Yes, I just kept going in slowly. There's plenty of time too. I'm targeting everything to be done three months since I came here." Ajimukti is calm.

Anggoro nodded, "Three months huh? There's still almost two months. I feel impatient." Anggoro.

"Other than me, Ro." Cuss Dullah.

"Patience first, Dul. Anyway, you have to learn from your Kyai Aminudin until all his knowledge is passed on to you." Timpal Prastowo with a mocking smile.

"Ah, you, Pras. It looks like you are, right?"

Prastowo only then laughed seeing Dullah's displeased expression.

"You're here again, aren't you busy, Ro?" Tanya Dullah turned to Anggoro.

"I said busy not really, Dul. Yeah, it just so happens that this is already wayahe hut pay. So you pay me to stop by." Sahut Anggoro.

"Loh, it's not the end of the month yet, Ro. How come you paid?" Ask Dullah again.

"They were at the home of a business associate, Dul. Making sure news about someone." Sahut Anggoro flat.

"someone? Who, Ro?" Prastowo was a little curious.

"Ah, you don't know either, this wong is a business man." Anggoro took something out of his bag. "The news has been in the newspaper, so I made sure to my friend, because this person used to have cooperation with me as well as my coworkers." Imbuh Anggoro while taking out the newspaper from his bag and pointed to one of the headlines in the newspaper.

On the main page of the paper it is written very clearly 'Corruption Budget Development Highway XXX Dragging Nugroho Name Sastro Darmono Involved In It'. Dullah and Prastowo only looked at each other because they did not understand about such things.

It is different from Ajimukti. Ajimukti grabbed the newspaper and observed the images in the headlines.

"Nugroho Sastro Darmono?" He muttered as he looked at the face of someone in the newspaper.

Anggoro glanced at Ajimukti, as did Manan, Dullah and Prastowo.

"Did Mas Aji know this guy?" Ask Anggoro then.

"Come, Lek. It's just the guy in this newspaper and his name is no stranger to me. Does Mr Lek know this guy?" Ask Ajimukti.

"Emmm, not very familiar anyway, Mas. Because they only worked together once. It was also my friend who negotiated with that person. I wasn't. But then there's a little problem. So the contract of cooperation with that person we canceled. And after that my friend tried to investigate Nugroho's background." Anggoro Sahut.

Ajimukti nodded in understanding, "Who is this, Lek?" Ask later.

"Nugroho is as far as I know. He is the third child of the Sastro Darmono family. His father, Mr. Sastro Darmono, was once very well known as a successful businessman in his era. In the business world, no one is unfamiliar with Mr. Sastro Darmono. Nugroho's first brother, Ningsih Sastro Darmono. This Ningsih should be the main heir to Pak Sastro Darmono's business. But unfortunately Ningsih since adolescence suffered from psychiatric disorders and until now reportedly still living in a psychiatric rehabilitation center in Surabaya. While his second brother Nugroho, his name is Saputro. He finally continued the business of Mr. Sastro Darmono. But unfortunately, not too long after holding Mr. Sastro's company, he reportedly actually killed himself from the fifth floor of the company. From the news circulating, it was done because Saputro himself depressed because the company suffered losses and there was a debt of about 4 trillion to other companies. And after Saputro's death, then Nugroho who continued the business of Mr. Sastro. But, after Nugroho was in control of the company, news of the debt was also lost. Many argue Nugroho was behind the plan of suppression against his brother that caused the brother to become depressed and eventually choose suicide. And the latest news, not too long ago. Nugroho's sister, I don't really remember her name. He is also rumored to have stumbled into trouble because he was caught using drugs. Yeah, more or less like that. It was also after my colleague investigated from the people closest to Nugroho." Anggoro told a long story.

Ajimukti listened carefully as well as Manan, Dullah and Prastowo, although the three of them did not know who Anggoro was telling them about.

Again Ajimukti observed the photo. He had indeed seen that person at a glance. But Ajimukti forgot where.

Ajimukti put the Anggoro newspaper back on the table. And now Ajimukti began to rejoin in the third conversation of his Pak Lek.

But Manan suddenly stood up and permission to go back. Ajimukti only glimpses when Manan passes from the living room in Prastowo's house.

Seriate...
