CONSEQUENCES
A Sad Prohibition

"What are you doing there?" dina asked Mona, Fina and Zhani who were 1 meter from the stairs.

"Hey, let's go up," asked Isa who approached the three of them, he then pulled Mona's hand, but Mona let go.

"Arka's mother forbade us to set foot inside because she didn't want your house to be contaminated by the poverty virus she said we were carrying, he told us to stay within one metre of the stairs, we could retreat, but we couldn't go forward" Mona said.

"Oh my goodness" said Dina.

"Don't mind the words, let's go in, it's cold out here" said Isa.

"No, mom said we had to obey the rules" Fina said.

Isa then felt indignant to Raya and Bunga.

"You don't know my name yet, do you? My name is Isa, just call me uncle Isa." Isa thrust out his hand and brought the boys together.

"We already know your name, sister Dina has told me a little about you" Mona said.

"Then let's get acquainted, if we shake hands, then the sign is that we are friends."

"No, later uncle Isa could be contaminated with the poverty virus that we brought."

Hearing this, Isa felt a little sad because he saw their obedience to the rules, even though they were insulted, but they still applied the rules. Isa then grabs Mona's hand and makes her shake hands with the little girl.

"Listen, there is no such thing as a virus of poverty, poverty is not a virus or a disease. Well, with this we are friends," said Isa.

Mona could not help but cry, she saw the sincerity of Isa in her words, she knew that Isa was different from the other Dhananjaya family, besides Arka.

"Uncle Isa ..." Mona started to shed tears.

"Yes?" sahut Isa, smiling.

"May I step in to hug you?"

Without hesitation, Isa immediately hugged Mona tightly, Mona also hugged her tightly while crying.

"You're a good girl, Mona," said Isa.

"Your name is Fina, isn't it, pretty girl?" asked Isa to Fina, Fina nodded.

"Do you shake hands with Isa's uncle?"

Fina smoothly accepted Isa's invitation to shake hands. Isa then walked squatting closer to Zhani, but Zhani stepped back.

"What's wrong with you, Zhani? Uncle Isa is a good person" Fina said.

"His face, what is it? He looks creepy," Zhani said.

"Hewmhewmhewmhew." Dina laughs amusedly.

"So so! Your brew scared him," continued Dina.

"Uh? Huh! Just deserve. Fina, give me your hand," said Isa, Fina obeyed. Isa then pointed Fina's palm to his face, Fina hesitated, but after she touched Isa's face, she felt happy and continued to stroke him with both hands.

"How does it feel?" ask Isa.

"It's ridiculous, but I like it," Fina replied as she pinched Isa's cheek, and she let out a small laugh.

"Uncle, is this hair?" ask Fina.

"Yes, this is the hair that grows on the face."

"But why don't I have it?"

"Only a grown man can have it, what other woman a little girl like you can't have it."

"Oooh so."

Dina then stepped out. While Zhani approached Isa and also touched the face of the 22-year-old youth out of curiosity to see his brother who was very happy to touch the face of Isa.

Isa was happy to see the children finally smiling just because they touched his face after that they continued to be insulted.

"Hows it? Are you still afraid of this brewpub?" ask Isa to Zhani.

"It's fun, I also want to have it one day" Zhani replied.

"You shaking hands with me?"

"No."

Isa.

"But I want to fight boxing with uncle Isa," continued Zhani as he extended his fist. Isa laughed and pitted his fists against Zhani.

"Well, now, Zhani, let's go up to my back" said Isa.

"For what?" ask Zhani.

"Well, and you'll get hooked later."

Zhani did what Isa told him to do.

"Mona, Fina, come closer" Jesus told Mona and Fina.

"Fina you're on the left here. Try to face the door. Zhani handle, huh?" Isa then hugged Mona and Fina from behind, then lifted them up, aka carrying the three of them simultaneously.

"Handle" pinta Isa.

"Well, what are you doing?" ask Dina.

"I'll give you the answer later, follow me," Isa replied as he walked in.

"But uncle, we can't go in" Mona said.

"What you said earlier is not that you can't go in" said Isa.

"Eh?" Mona looks confused.

"Try to remember all that Auntie Raya said to you when she told you to stay out."

Another case with Isa who is busy chatting with children, Kevlar was enjoying the night breeze from the terrace of his room.

'This Mansion, this entire family fortune, will soon be mine. I couldn't convince Zemira to hand over Farzin's investment business and clothing company to me, so I'd use another way, I'd make Flowers instigate him to give this family top control to me, and that way my goal will be achieved. Humph! I thought this matchmaking would be boring, but it turns out that I can find my future here, I can finally understand the benefits of this matchmaking for me. Hnghnghnghng, I have waited a long time for his climax point, soon, my efforts will bear fruit, ' his inner self.

Mrs. Zemira knocked on the door of Arvin's room when he got to the door. But there was no response from within. Then Ms. Zemira looked at the clock, now it was 23:10, thinking that Arvin must have gone home. But a feeling of uncertainty suddenly haunts him, so Mrs. Zemira decides to open the door to Arvin's room. He saw something behind the blanket, then approached the bed of one of his sons.

When Mrs. Zemira opens the blanket, she gets Arvin who is fast asleep. Arvin looks disheveled, but still looks handsome to Ny. Zemira. He then stroked the face of his third child, but apparently it made Arvin wake up. "Mother?" said it.

"It feels good to see you fall asleep like that, mother so remember the times you were when you were a baby first," said Ny. Zemira.

"What are you doing here? Why don't you knock on the door first?" asked Arvin who looked very sleepy.

"Mom knocked on her earlier, but you didn't hear."

"Son, your mouth stinks of alcohol, are you drinking again?"

"Mom don't switch the conversation."

"Arvin! I asked if you had another drink?!"

"Ck, yeah, I've been drinking. But at least it's better than having to join a non-grade dinner."

Arvin's eyes again dim, it looks once he is very sleepy, but he can still see Mrs. Zemira crying.

"If you look at who you are now, you are very sorry for adopting Jhana" said Ny. Zemira with her voice trembling.

"He's the one to blame for everything that's happened, he made you this way. I knew you as a very friendly and chatty kid, but ever since then, you've changed, son," she continued, wiping Arvin's hair either hearing it or not.

"Hm? Jhanas? Who's Jhana?" Arvin started talking.

Mrs. Zemira then smiles, then kisses Arvin's cheek. "Sleep well, good night. I'm glad you're home."

He then wrapped his son properly and walked out. Mrs. Zemira then closed the door to Arvin's room and peeked at Arka's room whose door was slightly open.

Isa takes Jhana's children to the living room, with Dina following him. There is a look of Flowers that is showing off its diamond jewelry collection to Raya, there is also Shirina who is watching cartoons from her CD collection.

"Look at this one, this is the most expensive gift at my wedding and Kevlar, remember? I told you about this necklace before" said Bunga.

"I don't remember, because your diamond jewelry collection was so large, you always told me about these jewels, maybe so rich this family until your diamond collection alone was like the total grains of sand on this planet," jabaya Raya's.

"Haha." Flowers chuckled, before long his gaze turned to Isa who was holding the children of Jhana.

"Well, what are you doing?!" bunga asked as he scrunched his forehead. Raya then turned to Isa.

"Why did you bring those kids and carry them?! I forbid them to set foot in this house!" kepak Raya's.

"Yes, Grandfather forbade them to set their feet into this house, but it was very cold outside, so to warm themselves, they had to enter, but how could the rules not be broken? I carry the three of them! And that doesn't make them set foot in this house, does it?" answer Isa. Dina smiled after hearing the reason for Isa.

"But are you crazy?! Your back could break if you keep like that!" bunga.

"It's better for me than they're cold out there" said Isa.

"Take them off, Isa!"

"I'll let them go as long as they can set their feet into this house."

"But ..."

"If not, I'll stay like this."

"Argh! Aye! Just let them go, can they set foot in this house?"

"Flower, what are you doing?" Raya seemed to disagree with the decision of Flowers.

"I just don't want my sister to get sick just from carrying the three of them!" Flowers defend themselves.

"Well children, you can come down" Isa told Mona, Fina and Zhani.

"Let's go upstairs," she asked.

"What are you going to do again?!" ask Flowers.

"I'll take them to my room, they'll be sleepy, I'll let them sleep in my room for a while" answered Isa.

"But, Isa, your bed will be contaminated by the virus of poverty."

"I don't understand what's on your mind, but I'm just going to tell you one thing, there's no such thing as a poverty virus. Come on." Isa took the children of Jhana to his room, he was still followed by Dina.

"Mother, I'm sleepy" Shirina said.

After closing the door to Arka's room, Ms. Zemira went to the bathroom on the 2nd floor, coinciding with the entry of Ny. Zemira to the bathroom, Isa, Mona, Fina, Zhani and Dina came. They walked towards Isa's room, and as soon as they all entered it, the children of Jhana were shocked.

"Our rented house is not even bigger than my uncle's room" Mona said.

"If you are sleepy, you can sleep there" said Isa, pointing at his bed.

"What is that, a bed?" ask Fina.

"Yes, just call it by the name you like" replied Isa.

Mona ran to the big bed and touched it. "The living room in our rented house would not fit if put in this mattress."

Isa laughing.

"And this mattress is so comfortable and soft, too" continued Mona. Hearing this, Fina and Zhani also slept on Isa's bed.

"Wash your feet before you get on that bed" said Isa, the children of Jhana just nodding. Dina then walked to the terrace of Isa's room. Isa then followed him.

"It's cold outside, but somehow up here it feels really cool," said Dina who focused her body on the barrier.

"This moon is not only cool because of AC, but also nature, because in this area there are only trees, so when the night air here becomes cooler," said Isa who chose to sit in a rattan chair.

"Yes ..."

"Yes?" sahut Isa's.

"May I ask and collect your promise?"

"Resign promises? Asking? Just go ahead."

"About Jhana whom your family is talking about, who exactly is she? Why would Zemira's aunt make her the only person she hates? And why do you say he's played such an important role in your life?"

"Well, since you're soon to be a member of this family, I don't think it's okay to tell everything now, and between partners there shouldn't be any secrets, right?"

Dina nodded.

Isa took a breath. "I was confused where to start, but it all started long before I was born."

"Before you were born?"

Isa then turned to his room to make sure Jhana's children did not hear his story. And the three of them were asleep.

"Yes. Twelve years before I was born, mom and dad had their first child."

"I never knew the name of your late eldest brother, may I know what his name was?" ask Dina.

"That's the most important part. He was a man, who became the role model of his younger siblings. He is the husband of Kak Raya, and his father Arka. His name is ...."

"Rasyid Dhananjaya" continued Isa.

"Rashid?" mummified Dina.

"He died five years ago, but that's not the point of this story. I'm going to tell you about his life, which had a huge impact on this family. And everything is connected to Jhana's sister."

Dina took a sip of her saliva, she became stubborn when she heard Isa mention Jhana and Rashid. Suddenly he thought what if Jhana and her co-worker Jhana who had been in the life of his prospective family were the same person? But his mind was gone when Isa continued his story.
