Dhananjaya


In a mansion, named after its owner's surname, Dhananjaya mansion, everyone was busy with their respective affairs for their dinner with their future new daughter-in-law.


2 Workers in the kitchen were starting to make desserts, while 2 workers in charge of cleaning the house, were pacing back and forth taking the dishes made by the kitchen workers for special guests of their employer's family.


The ready-to-eat food was served on a long dining table located next to the large swimming pool at the back of the mansion.


Meanwhile a mother who was starting to age who seemed to be the big madam in the mansion looked puzzled. He accidentally runs into his youngest son who has this event.


"Well, where's the Flower and Arvin?" tanyakanya.


"Sister Arvin is away for a while, he said he'll be back before the show starts, ma'am. If sister Bunga may still be in her room with Kak Raya," replied the brewokan man, whose name is Isa.


"Call them all, why is everyone so relaxed when the show is about to start?"


"Well mom, I'll tell them all to rush to the backyard."


"Yes, soon."


Isa then left his mother who approached the dining table that had begun to fill some food.


"Did anyone?" call Isa's mother to one of his workers who is in charge of cleaning the contents in his mansion, this time the woman named Ayang was given the task of taking food that has been cooked by the workers in the kitchen.


"Yes, Madam?" sahut Ayang's.


"Why is this new food being served? Where's the other food?"


"Me and Tantri are still taking it, Madam."


"Why are you moving so slowly? Our guests are coming soon, let's move fast!"


"Okay, Madam."


"Uh, wait."


"Can I help you, ma'am?"


"Has Indira and Kania done cooking in the kitchen?"


"Already, ma'am, just make dessert, they're making it."


"Good, continue your work."


"Okay, ma'am, I'm sorry."


On the 3rd floor, the top floor of the mansion, there is only a laundry room that has 3 washing machines. There were only 1 spacious room, which belonged to Bunga and her husband. Flowers and Raya were in the room.


"Look at this," said Bunga, glazed over and showing the real diamond jewelry he wore on his neck, ears, right and left hands, as well as his ring finger to Raya, his sister-in-law whom he considered as his own friend, and vice versa.


"I just saw this ring, where did you buy it?" tanya Raya while pointing at the sparkling diamond ring worn by the Flower.


"Oh, here, Kevlar bought it for me when we were on vacation in Dubai a week ago. Yeah not too new either, it's just that I didn't show it off because I didn't want to make the saliva of the workers in this house drip, moreover they wouldn't be able to afford it."


Raya laughs little. "Your jokes are the best in the house. If I could know, how much would it cost?"


"Ah, it's not expensive, it's just a little more expensive than a two-story house."


"In that case, can I save up to buy a ring like that too?"


"No need to save, I'll buy you a ring like this."


"REally?!" Raya looks enthusiastic.


"of course. Women in this family should look beautiful because of diamonds like this, not because of rhinestone."


They both laughed. Not long after, Isa came, coincidentally the door of the room was open, so the man just knocked on it and went straight in. "Mom told you to come down now."


"Say Isa" said Bunga.


"Hm? What's?" ask Isa.


"Dina likes diamonds? I'll buy her a lot of diamonds if she's your wife."


"Diamond? Dina is not the kind of woman who likes jewelry."


"Ouh, what a pity, but the women in this family have to look beautiful because of the diamonds."


"So this is all right, let's go down." Isa then left Bunga and Raya.


"Dina has to learn to love jewelry like these diamonds, otherwise she will look like a poor woman later" Bunga said.


"It's true." Raya smiled.


"Come," take the flower that walks out.


'Humph, the bottom of the village,' the Inner Kingdom was staring at the Flower from behind with a look of disdain.


When Isa reached the 1st floor, he saw his two nephews watching TV in the living room with his brother-in-law, Kevlar. He approached them immediately.


"What are you guys doing here? The show's about to start in a minute, why are you guys so relaxed?" tannya


"Uncle, look here. Right here! There's a cute baby on TV!" greet a female toddler, who immediately got up from the sofa where she sat to pull the hand of Isa.


"Well, she's cute, just like you, Shirina," said Isa, pinching the cheeks of one of her nephews.


"Later when uncle gets married to sister Dina, uncle will have a cute baby like this right?"


"More or less so."


"And she's gonna be my sister and Arka, right?"


"Of course, my dear."


"Then let me give him a name."


"Please take it." Isa pinched Shirina's nose and wiggled her right and left. Flowers then enter the living room.


"Honey, giving a name to a child is the duty of parents, because later the name will be a prayer. If someone else gave the child a name, the parent would not have any expectations for the child later" Bunga said.


"Can't! Uncle Isa's baby son must get a name from me!" shout Shirina.


"Sister, just let him say that." Isa tried to calm Shirina down.


"But he must be given understanding, he must understand that a child gets a name from his parents because that name is the hope of his parents. If your son gets a name from him, he'll just give you a cartoon character's name." Flowers defend themselves.


"Here you go, let's just go back, you guys won't be like this right in front of Dina?" sambar Kevlar's.


"But her son, uncle Isa, I'll name him Cinderella, father" Shirina said.


"Shirina's father's daughter, is that important, son? Look Arka, she's calm and mature, take her for example."


"But the Ark is older than me, father."


"Son, it doesn't take old age to be mature, being wise and mature since childhood is impressive."


"Then, I just need to be mature and wise?"


"More mature and wiser."


"Okay, dad, now I'm gonna be more mature and wiser."


"Haha, that's how dad's son is." Kevlar then carried his only daughter and took her to the backyard.


"Auntie, uncle," call Arka.


"Yes, little whiz?" sahut Isa who adjusted his height with his first nephew was by squatting.


"Is my father a wonderful person like Uncle Kevlar?" ask Arka. Isa then glanced at Bunga, Bunga then smiled, as if he knew that his youngest sister did not know what to answer.


"Arka, your grandparents said, the cleanest heart in the family is your father's, so you don't have to ask if your father is as admirable as Kevlar's uncle, because the answer is definitely your father more amazing. But you know, when your father died, the cleanest heart in the family was that of Uncle Kevlar" replied Bunga as he sat on the sofa.


"What does that mean when I see Uncle Kevlar, it's almost the same as me seeing my father?"


"I thought so."


Arka then hugged Bunga and Isa simultaneously because he was happy and satisfied with the answer he got. Flowers and Isa then smiled, and returned their nephew's embrace warmly.


In the kitchen, workers gathered, ranging from 2 kitchen workers, 2 mansion cleaning workers, 1 yard cleaning worker and the outside of the mansion, to 1 pet care worker. Everyone was sitting there, except for the kitchen workers who were still making desserts.


"Huft, today is very tiring" said Indira, one of the kitchen workers who was putting 1 baking pan into the oven.


"Well, your job ends when you finish cooking, while me and Tantri still have to clean the dinner table. It will definitely be very tiring, especially Mrs Zemira is very chatty lately," said Ayang.


"Who said? After the show ended, Kania's aunt and I had to wash the dishes first, and the laundry would definitely be a lot."


"Sister Kania, sister has been working with this family since sister was born, first parents sister work in this family, and then sister also decided to work for this family, and then sister also decided to work for this family, so they must have differentiated us all with our older brother, and automatically, the tiredness we feel is also different." Ayang defended himself.


"Well, you say that because you don't know what it's like to get old. Tired in the feel will double if someone is still working until old age. But why complain? If you don't want to get tired in the end, it's better not to work."


"Well, that's right! But know, our job is actually beneficial to our health, we work and sweat, it's the same as exercise" added Jaya, a yard cleaner and the outside of the mansion.


"You don't know what it's like to work for Horses, Dogs, Rabbits, Cats, Chickens and Fish. I have to bathe them, feed them, give fish cages and ponds, and clean their shit. But I agree with sister Kania, why complain, every job must have risks, for example I am very disgusted with dirt, I think everyone is disgusted with dirt, dirt, but I can't complain because that's the way I take money the right way" said Ismail, a pet caretaker.


"There's food, it's not good to talk about dirt" Kania said.


"Ups." Ishmael held his mouth.


"But, I don't think Kania's aunt is more dear to them, I see we're treated the same." Tantri spoke up.


"Yes, we are all treated the same by Madam Bunga, we are treated inhumanely" Ayang snorted.


"You're a new worker here, Tantri, so you haven't felt the difference" Indira said while washing dishes.


"One month working here is not a short time for me."


"Haaah, it's up to you." Ayang looked annoyed before leaving, it was seen from his words before leaving the kitchen.


"Actually, why is he?" Jay looked confused.


"It looks like he's coming the moon," ceplos Kania.


"Maha." Everyone laughed except for Kania.


"Why are you laughing?" ask Kania.


"Sister's joke is the best in this kitchen" Ismail said.


Kania then shook her head. "Either what happens to the minds of today's children that I think my words were very funny."


"Eh? I'm only three years younger than you, sister Kania. I've been forty-seven years, then, thank you for your praise. Tell me, brother, does my face look twenty years younger?" said Jaya. They all laughed.


"You guys, it's my best juniors, indeed" Kania praised with a smile.


"Jawab first my question." Jaya charges an answer from Kania.


"Yes, you do look twenty years younger" Kania replied. Jaya smiles pleasure.


"But when viewed from the straw hole," continued Kania.


"Maha." Everyone in the kitchen laughed and heard the half-century old Kania joke, but it still made others laugh.


Mrs Zemira walked to the only room on the 1st floor, hers and her husband's. He opened the door to his room, then entered. He saw the soulmate sitting facing the porch of their room, holding a hand-sized photo.


"My love, why are you still looking at her picture? What makes you so anxious for him to come back?" ask Ny. Zemira to her husband who is very difficult to speak because of a stroke.


"I know you love him very much, Farzin, but understand how I feel too. Farzin, you know how I feel about him. If you keep going like this, you'll make me sad."


Mrs. Zemira then knelt to Mr. Farzin and looked at him.


"Now, look and listen to me, our youngest son is soon to be married, we will have another son-in-law and this family will be more and more crowded. Why can't you be happy with all that? Why can your happiness only be felt when it comes back to us?"


Mrs. Zemira began to tear up.


"Thirty-five years we've been married, but I still don't understand a few things about you. Does it take me another fifteen years to make me understand everything about you?"


And now he's crying.


"Next month is the birthday of our late eldest son, are you going to stay this way during his celebration? Farzin, the one thing I want right now is a happy smile on your face."


Mrs. Zemira then stood up while supporting her body in Mr. Trump's wheelchair. Farzin is paralyzed. Then she wiped her tears.


Isa also intended to see his father, but when he saw his parents' door open, he panicked and immediately checked his father's condition. He was relieved that his father was still in the room with his mother.


"Will?" call Mrs. Zemira who saw her youngest son turned around to leave her room.


"Yes, mommy?" sahut Isa who returned to face his parents.


"What's wrong? Why are you here?"


"All the food was served at the dinner table, mother, except for dessert, I was going to take my father to the front yard to welcome Dina, he said he was close, but ..."


"Take your father to the front yard, let him see the beauty of the sky tonight" she said. Zemira.


"Good, mom." Isa then held onto both handles of his father's wheelchair and pushed his father out.


"Farzin," said Mrs. Zemira after her son and husband came out.


Meanwhile, in the taxi, Dina was replying to her father with a smile.


"Dina, is your fiance's family home still far away?" ask Jhana.


"Hmm, not really, still about two kilometers away" replied Dina.


"But why are the trees around here?"


"Sister, they live in a mansion, they want to stay away from the settlements, so the road we're going through is like this."


"Mansion? Will they accept us?"


"I think they're good people, take it easy."


Jhana just kept quiet.


"Who is that, brother?" ask Fina while looking at Dina's phone.


"This is his brother Isa, a man with a mouth that is always locked, I don't even know how smelly his mouth is or how dirty his mouth is. She didn't even want to join her family, I wonder why she's like that" Dina replied.


"But he's handsome."


"Well, he's good-looking."


Dina and Fina kept looking at Arvin's photo.


"Ok, is he that handsome? Then I'll marry her one day" Mona said.


"Unfortunately her heart is locked, she will never fall in love, hewmhewm," Dina said. Mona, Fina and Zhani who were held by Jhana laughed at Dina's laughter.


"Why? Is there anything funny?" Dina looked confused.


"Will? Who is Isa?" ask Jhana suddenly.


"Good God I forgot! My name is Isa, he is a tall man" replied Dina.


"Will?"


"Yes, Isa. Do you know anyone named Isa in your life?"


"Yes, there's one."


"I think mom only knows mom's kids and mom's coworkers. Hewmhew. Oops," chimpanzee Mona


"Mother knew many people first, Isa whom I knew was a good son."


"Oh yeah? How old is he?" ask Dina.


"Now he must be an adult, your age or so," replied Jhana.


"Ah, would you like to see a picture of her brother Isa? he's handsome."


"I do like handsome men, but I'm looking for a funny-looking man."


"Hewmhewmhewm, some of my college guy friends are funny-faced, you want to see him?"


"I don't want to see it! I'm more interested in hearing Dina's laughter" said Zhani.


"Eh? Hewmhewm." Dina chuckles.


"Maha." The boys then laughed out loud.


Mr. Farzin and Isa finally reached the front yard of their mansion. Mr. Farzin does love the night sky, especially if there are no clouds, he will feel happy if he sees it.


"Dad happy?" ask Isa. Mr. Farzin nodded. Isa smile.


Suddenly, Isa was surprised.
