Destiny Gintani
No Need for College

Next day.

After last night saying goodbye to the boarding house. Gintani and his grandfather Wira decided to leave this city. They travel for about 5 hours. Until finally, Gintani and Wira's grandfather arrived in a very cold village.

The village is called Malaganti Village. The place is in the form of a plateau because it is located at the foot of a mountain called Galunggung mountain.

“Waaah, a lot of the trees are solid !” said Gintani amazed to see papaya trees lined up neatly on a plantation.

“Oh, maybe now planted with papaya tree is the same manager.” said Grandpa Wira.

“What does this mean by a piece of land belonging to that grandfather ?” ask Gintani curiously.

Grandfather Wira nodded. ”What does Gintan not mind we stay here ?” ask the grandfather.

“No, cake ! Gintan is happy to live here. The air is still very clean. Another cold. I think Gintan will stay here !” gintani said excitedly.

“Ah, thank goodness !” replied Grandfather Wira.

Suddenly a couple approached them.

“Assalamualaikum, sir !” greet the wife.

“Ah, waalaikumsalam. Uh, Susan, Rakib, how are you?” ask Grandpa Wira while greeting them.

“Alhamdulillah, sir. Our news is good .” replied the husband.

“Oh yes, introduce ! this is my grandson, his name is Gintani .” said Wira's grandfather.

Gintani smiled as she extended her hand.

"Meet me, ma'am ! My name is Gintani."

“Ah yes, do not need to call father or mother or neng ! call me auntie ! Oh yes, my name is mang Rakib, and this is my wife her name is bik Susan.”.

Grandfather Wira just smiled looking at their interaction.

"They're people trust grandfather to take care of this land.” said Wira's grandfather explained though without being asked.

Gintani smiles.

“Hayu oruh ! Please enter !” said bik Susan while opening the door of the stilt house in front of the papaya garden.

Grandfather Wira nodded and followed the steps of his two confidants to enter the neatly groomed stage house.

Gintani was amazed as he looked inside the house. The stage house was not as big and grand as his uncle's house, but it seemed like the stage house would feel comfortable to live in.

The house consists of one living room and 2 bedrooms. Behind there is a kitchen and bathroom. There is no dining room or family room. But for Gintani, the house was enough for them to live in. Gintani does not have to spend extra energy to clean the house, although gintani must be every day.

Gintani and Susan's bik start to clean up her clothes in Gintani's room and Wira's grandfather. While Wira's grandfather and Rakib mang went to the back to see his garden.

(pict by me...🤭 promo first, maybe someone wants to ngaliwet in the day, yuk gaiss awaited...🤭)

“Now planted with papaya, Kib ?” ask Grandpa Wira while looking at the papaya tree lined up neatly.

“Yes, sir ! it just so happens to be the season to grow California papaya. Moreover, the market demand is also quite high for this fruit. Rakib tried to plant it. Hopefully the results are good.” replied mang Rakib at length.

Grandpa Wira smiled. "No problem Kib. Do not let the land be empty. Mubazir if not planted.” replied Grandpa Wira while patting slowly mang Rakib shoulder.

“What father will stay here forever ?” asked Mang Rakib very carefully. Fear of offending people who have contributed a lot to him and his family.

“Why? Do you mind ?" ask Mr. Wira.

“No, sir ! I actually feel happy if you stay here.” replied Mang Rakib kelabakan because he did not expect that his master would say that.

“Insyaalloh, we will stay here forever, Kib.” replied Grandpa Wira, steady.

“Thank God, sir ! This house is no longer empty!” answer mang Rakib.

Grandfather Wira smiled as she turned to look at the believer. “It's almost magrib, we better go home !" said Grandpa Wira.

Grandpa Wira and Mang Rakib also stepped foot towards the stage house they had visited.

By night. The atmosphere of the village was very quiet. Grandfather Wira began to tell Gintani about the history of the land he owned today. According to Wira's grandfather, this land is a historical land. This land is a silent witness to the fighting that occurred between government forces and the rebels. Although after the grandfather of the Hero was assigned here. The rebellion was just an issue. What existed at that time was the efforts of some clerics who wanted the Islamic Shari'a to be fully implemented in freedom without any emphasis from the government in the region. Even Wira's grandfather became good friends with one of the ulama's alim. And the land was bought from the residents by the grandfather of Wira and his late friend.

Now, that land has absolutely become the property of the grandfather of Wira. Because after his friend died, Wira's grandfather bought again some of his land to the heirs of the friend. In his honor, Grandfather Wira promised not to release this land to any party.

Jakarta. A metropolitan city in which there are many colors of life for its residents. The city's frenetic metropolis became a magnet for immigrants. The skyscrapers stand firmly in the city, one of which is the APA Architecture building.

Tok.dok…

Someone knocked on Argha's door.

“Log !” argha's orders.

Ceklek !

The door opened, and a sexy secretary was entering Argha's room.

“Excuse me sir ! Outside there's Mr. Alex who wants to see the master !” said the secretary who owns the opal face named Bella.

For a moment Argha frowned, "Ish, for what Alex met me !" muttered Argha. "Send him in !" his orders.

Bella's back out to see Alex. Soon, the handsome man entered his friend's room.

“How are you doing Ar ?" ask Alex to talk.

“Like you see !” Argha answered briefly.

“Hmm, looks like you're getting better after getting your target !” alex said cynically.

The deg…!

Argha was surprised to hear Alex's insinuation. What, the better, lo ! I don't know if I'm almost crazy because of guilt. It shouldn't be him who has my first night, but Na, my dead love ! Inner Argha was sultry with the words of his best friend.

Argha's heart made the othor even more furious. Crazy ya gaiss, could-can the arrogant haughty man talk love to death after he ruined a girl's life ! othor also grunts annoyed 😤️

"Are you here just to quip me?” ask Argha, ketus.

“Ah thank goodness if you still feel insinuated. That means, you still have a heart, he..he.he.” Alex replied as he chuckled at the change in Argha's reddened face holding back anger.

"If that's your goal, go ! My job is still very much. I don't have time to deal with all your nonsense !” snapped Argha who had been provoked by emotion.

“Eits, calmdown, bro ! I'm just here to give this to elo !” answer Alex casually while handing over a 1 M check to Argha.

Argha scrunched his forehead as he looked at the check that lay before him.

“Bu..Isn't this the repayment check I gave you for the girl ?” argha asked a little surprised.

Alex nodded as he sipped the coffee that had been served in front of him by the secretary.

“Why did you give this to me again ?" ask Argha, astonished.

“Then I have to give it to who else, Ar ?" alex answered while putting his coffee cup back into place.

“You should give it to the girl, Al !” answer Argha.

“If I can find it, I'll definitely give you that check. But in fact, until this moment I have not been able to find it. Let alone the body, the shadow seemed to disappear from my view.” Alex said at length.

"What do you mean, Al ?" argha asked, not understanding the direction of his best friend's conversation.

“He went Ar ! Since that night he's gone. And until this second I didn't manage to find it." Alex replied with great emphasis.

Argha could only look at Alex. He couldn't believe that the girl could do that. Though Argha still set his heart to drop his ego and self-esteem if until he met again with the girl.

“Nak, don't you want to go to college again ?” asked Grandpa Wira when Gintani was busy drawing a model of clothes.

Gintani is very surprised to hear the question of Wira's grandfather. Actually Gintani still harbors hopes to be able to taste college again. But, he said, surviving for the sake of himself and his grandfather was far more important than his personal affairs. Gintani realized that the health of Wira's grandfather was far more important than the sense of wanting to continue his education.

“It's okay, cake ! Later after Gintan has money, Gintan will definitely be able to go to college again." replied Gintani while smiling sincerely at his grandfather.

“If indeed you want to go to college again, grandfather can sell half this land for your tuition fees, son." said the grandfather as he stroked Gintani's hair gently.

Gintani again developed her smile. "No cake, Gintan doesn't need college. The school is for theory only. What is the use of theory without practice. Better Gintan looking for a place for a sewing course, so that Gintan has expertise, cake." replied Gintani full of confidence.

Grandpa Wira smiled. "It's up to you to !” rub it gently in Gintani's hair. "It's night, go to sleep !" the hero's grandfather orders again.

Gintani smiled, and he began to tidy up his pictures. After taking care of everything, Gintani steps her feet towards her room.
