CONSEQUENCES
Casinos, Danger to Dina

Staying in someone else's house, doesn't make Mona forget all her duties. He still does homework by sweeping, washing clothes, mopping and cleaning windows. Dina had promised to bring lunch for her and Zhani. At home, Dina leaves a old cell phone for Mona to use when something is emergency or needed.

Meanwhile, while watching tv, Mrs. Zemira gets a message from her youngest son.

Mother, Isa and brother Arvin won't be home until the afternoon. Today Isa will accompany Dina to work and we will go to college together, and brother Arvin will be with his friends

"What young people do is only the things they want" murmured Mrs. Zemira.

Morning has not reached its peak to change with noon, but today the Popular restaurant is very crowded even when it is just open. And after his work was done, Yahya came near Dina.

"Dina," he called.

"Yes?" sahut Dina's.

"Why hasn't Jhana come yet? Is he sick?"

"I was looking for him too, just now I wanted to ask that to Sister Wanda" said Dina.

"Are you close to Jhana, weren't you guys having dinner together last night?"

"On that matter .. Brother Jhana suddenly disappeared before his dinner began."

"Disappeared? You mean kidnapped?!"

"Sssshhtt, lower the volume of your voice, brother. I can't say it's a kidnapping."

"So?"

"Let's go, he disappeared intentionally for no reason, and he left me a letter."

"Just keep bumping, '" said Wanda, taking orders.

"Later to connect again, Wanda, the person is difficult to compromise, she wants to be the only one who can resist," Yahya told Dina.

Dina chuckles. Soon a man with a tight face came along carrying a note of his order and gave money to Dina.

"Thank you, come next time!" dina said, but the man ignored her and just left.

After the man left, another man came with his bag, this man was different from the previous man, he came with a smile full of cheerfulness. He sat down on the chair next to Dina.

"It's a bit crowded today, huh? No time for college assignments?" ask the man.

"Not really, usually the day will be quiet, so my time to do the task is during the day," replied Dina.

"Why did you ask me to come here?"

"Read this," asked Dina while handing over the letter left by Jhana in the ventilation hole of her boarding house to the man whose full name was Isa Dhananjaya.

"So?" ask Jesus after reading the letter.

"Do you think it's best to let things go like this?" ask Dina back.

"What-like?"

"Yes .. like this, the sons of Jhana are with me and the brother of Jhana is still missing."

"You mean we don't have to look for him?"

Dina nodded.

"Jhana is most likely kidnapped, a kidnapper will do anything to keep his victim from being found, and ultimately the kidnapper will ask for a ransom. Do not change your decision just because of a letter like this, I know that you are a person who holds firm with a fixed stance" said Isa.

"I didn't change because of this letter" Dina said.

Isa is starting to look serious.

"So morning I took care of SPP Fina, but the school said that Jhana's sister had taken care of it a few minutes before Fina and I arrived" explained Dina.

"And that means Jhana's sister is still around here, she's alive and not kidnapped" Dina continued.

Isa scrunched his forehead. "Then, what's the reason for disappearing like this?"

"I don't think we should go looking for him, just focus on finding the reason."

"Dina, finding the reason means we have to find the person" Isa said.

"You doubted me? My probing skills are better than a detective's. We have children, we can ask things that might reveal why Jhana's sister disappeared like this from their answers."

Isa. "You sure?"

"You said that I was a person who held firm with a fixed stance. So why are you doubting me?"

"But are you willing to take care of her children?"

"Maybe I'll need your help if I take care of that."

"Ehm, here the customers eat and the workers work, the workers are prohibited from dating here" said Wanda.

"This is why couples are not forbidden to talk to each other, which is prohibited from just making out," Dina replied. Wanda was upset by Dina's reply.

"Tumben once you didn't babble about Jhana" Yahya said.

"Why would I babble about him if he had gone far?" answer Wanda.

"You mean?" ask Yahya.

"Of course, he was fired, but he made himself seem to resign in order to seem more honorable."

Dina and Isa then glanced at each other, they did not want to open their voices because it would only raise many questions later from Wanda, moreover Isa already knew all workers in the Popular restaurant, which is the most popular restaurant, so he knew how the nature of the workers in the restaurant.

"Here it is, I don't want to talk about the woman anymore" said Wanda, she then went to deliver the order.

By noon this morning, the mansion workers were done with their tasks, and now they were all relaxing in the kitchen chatting. Yes, this is the quality time of the workers at the Dhananjaya mansion.

"really?! But why?!" ask Kania to Ayang.

"I've been thinking about big brother's words last night, and it seems like I agree with big brother, it's better not to work than to keep grumbling. So I decided to just resign, today or tomorrow," Ayang replied.

"But aren't you going to rethink your decision?" ask Ismail.

"I've been thinking about it all night, and my resolve has been unanimous."

"Think about us, how are we without you? We are all united, do not be separated, otherwise it will not taste good," said Ismail.

"I'll always miss you, just relax. And for sister Kania, I don't know how big brother can still work until the age of this big brother, while I'm not forty years old it feels like it's crumbling all my bones" said Ayang.

"I don't think too much about it, I just enjoy my work, so maybe that's what makes me forget about my back pain" Kania replied.

"If Brother Ayang is going, what about Tantri?" ask Tantri.

"Mrs Zemira will definitely find the right partner to replace me for you, don't worry" Ayang said.

"I mean ... Does that mean I'll be a senior when a new worker starts working here?"

"Of course."

"Huft, I'm not ready for something like that."

"If I could be your senior, why can't you be a better senior than me?"

"Aren't you ready to tell Mrs Zemira?" ask Indira.

"No, so I said I will vote between today and tomorrow" replied Ayang.

"Are you coming back? Not many of my juniors are as deft as you," Kania said.

"Oh, I don't think so."

Midday finally arrived, and it was already 12 but Jhana and Arini still had not returned to the mosque.

"This is the fifth Dhananjaya orchard that we came to, and none of them have job openings. So how?" ask Arini.

"Maybe we go back to the mosque first, tomorrow we come to the other three" replied Jhana.

"What if the other three don't have any job openings?"

"I'll think of another place, but it's still Dhananjaya's business."

"Of course, let's go home" Arini asked.

As Dina said earlier, during the day, the Popular restaurant is usually quiet and usually Dina takes the opportunity to do her college assignments during the day. Isa also expressed his own duties beside Dina.

"Wanna eat?" tawar Dina on Isa.

"Hmm, later, I'm still full" replied Isa.

Then the atmosphere became quiet.

"Well, can I ask you a favor?" Dina finally spoke up.

"Yes, please," said Isa.

"Can you pick Fina up from school? Mona definitely doesn't know the way from my boarding school to Fina's, so please pick her up, yeah. And this is money for their lunch, buy what they want, this money will be enough" Dina said.

"Save your money, let me take their lunch" said Isa.

"Eh? No need, no need to bother."

Isa then closed the book and put it in the bag he was carrying. He did not take the money given by Dina and immediately paid his respects.

"I'll go first. Where's the school?" ask Isa.

"Cross this road, just straight five hundred meters and there will be a school on the right" explained Dina.

"All right." Isa then went to his car and immediately gas-fired to Fina's school.

While watching television with Zhani, Mona hears a knock on the door from the outside, the little girl then opened the front door of the Dina boarding house and saw Fina and Isa who brought lunch for her and Zhani.

"You guys .." he said.

"Can we come in?" ask Isa.

"Come, I just called Dina's sister and told her that I don't know the way to Fina's school" Mona said.

"really? Then it was a coincidence that we came" said Isa.

"Are you both hungry?" mona and Zhani then nodded.

"Uncle and Fina brought you lunch, we had dinner earlier" said Isa.

"Well, it smells good" said Zhani, who opened her food pack.

Isa smiled at Mona and Zhani who were eating voraciously. He then rubbed the heads of the two boys, while Fina changed her clothes.

"A lot to eat, yeah! Let you grow up fast" said Isa, Mona and Zhani just smiled.

After spending time at the Dina boarding house with the children of Jhana, Isa also realized that the clock had been pointed at 13:15, and soon his and Dina's college hours would begin, and soon, although they are not one class, their learning hours are the same.

Isa then say goodbye to the children of Jhana and back again to the restaurant Popular.

He arrived on time and finally went to college with Dina.

After her college hours ran out, Dina also waited for Isa in her fiance's car while eating her provisions that she brought from the Popular restaurant. He still has about 45 minutes left in his break, so he can be relaxed.

"It's been a while?" ask Isa who finally came.

"Not really," replied Dina.

"Well, come on in, let's just go straight to the Popular restaurant, afraid that if you're late to return, Brother Wanda will definitely babble," said Isa.

"In a moment" said Dina while spending her provisions.

After spending his provisions, Dina also entered into Isa's car, following Isa who had first entered.

On the road, Dina was busy playing her phone, while Isa focused on driving. But suddenly Dina told Isa to stop.

"Stop," he said.

"Why?" ask Isa.

"I want to pee."

"There's nowhere to pee around here except the moat."

"Ih, I know. Can we go to the mall for a second?"

"Well you know don't tell me to stop, just say 'take me to the mall, I want to pee in the bathroom in the mall'."

"Yes, yeah. I'm lazy to argue with you."

"Why is everyone so lazy to argue with me?" mumam Isa's.

Not long after, Dina's phone rang, Dina immediately received the call.

"Hello?" Dina.

"Sister Dina!!! Hurry home!!!" yelled Mona in panic.

"What's up?!!" asked Dina who was panicking at Mona's tone.

"The gas!! Gas!!!" answer Mona.

"Why why?!"

"Drink!!!!"

"Huh'?!! Oh, my God, why?!"

"I don't know!! Just go home now!!! Don't let this gas explode!!"

"Ah .. ng .. e .. yes, yes! Wait there brother!"

"Hurry!!!"

Dina then turned off the connection.

"What's wrong?" asked Isa while wrinkling his forehead.

"Turn around! We're going to my kost!" tell Dina.

"Yes, but what's up?"

"The gas in my hostel is leaking!"

"Drink?! Holy hooch! Why?!"

"I don't know! Just turn around! They're so freaking out!"

"But what about you?! Not pissing?!"

"I'm getting so pissed in panic!"

"Then how?!!"

"I don't know!!"

"Ok, a hundred meters ahead there's a casino, there's a women's and men's toilet, you just pee there" said Isa who began to stabilize his panic.

"Huh?! The casino? Nah! Nah! I don't want to pee in a place like that."

"But you won't be able to hold it until we get to your hostel."

Dina speechless. "So how?" tanyakanya.

"I drove you to that casino, then I stayed you there and I went to your hostel. I'll pick you up again" replied Isa.

"That's a crazy idea! Not want! I was left alone in a gambling establishment like that!" grouse Dina.

"There's Arvin's brother, he'll take care of you."

"But Arvin's not going to take care of me yet."

"I guarantee that he'll take care of you."

"But he never talked to me, not even I know how he sounds."

"One day you will be a member of his family, that family must trust and love each other, if he loves you, he will take care of you, if you love him, you will believe in him" said Isa. But Dina did not answer.

"Well, take me to the casino and go to my hostel, save them, check out what's going on" Dina said.

"You'll be fine, don't worry."

Dina just nodded.

And without feeling they finally arrived at the casino where Arvin was. But suddenly Dina felt hesitant to go down.

"Isa," he said.

"Yes?" sahut Isa's.

"What if Arvin's brother is no longer inside?" ask Dina.

"He will stay inside until night, trust me" Isa replied.

"All right." Dina then went down and waved her hand at Isa who went straight to his boarding house. Before entering, Dina looked at the casino first, she then took a deep breath and threw it away.

"This will be my first time in a casino" he murmured.

Dina walked in and immediately smelled the pungent smell of alcohol and the smell of cigarette smoke.

'This place is even more terrifying than an empty old house, ' Dina's inner.

Just walking 5 steps from the open entrance, Dina found 2 men who were each holding a glass bottle, they were the guards of the casino.

"Hey, miss," welcome one of the men.

"Your face is not recognized here. You're not a member of this casino, what's your goal, sweet lady?" ask the other guy.

"I-I'm not a member here, I'm just peeing" replied Dina. 2 the man then laughed at Dina's reply.

"Pissing?" said the man who opened his voice the first time, he then gave a signal to his friend by just winking one eye, his friend understood and immediately covered Dina's mouth with his hand.

Dina did not stay silent, she tried to fight, but the two men finally worked together to hold her, Dina finally lost.

"It's a good bet" said the man who held his mouth.
