DEVIL SNARES
CHAPTER 53

Flash back to Joko's life before working at Ningsih's place....

After graduating from Mechanical Engineering School, Joko worked in a well-known motorcycle and car repair shop in Jakarta. His ability to handle motorcycles and cars is beyond question. He often got a more promising job offer, but was rejected because he already loved the location at the cashier where he worked.

The woman sitting in the back of the counter had a sweet smile. Both of her cheeks were 'please', a gift or a flaw from the Creator but so sweet to see when smiling. Her charming lips are always polished with a red color. Her two turning eyes made the woman even more beautiful. Her name is Tina, age three on top of Joko.

Several times Joko approaches, but always the Tina avoids. Gossip circulated if Tina prefers men who are much older and money aka Om-om or the famous term Sugar Dady. Joko is far from the word criterion that Tina created itself.

Feeling that her love was rejected before even saying, Joko twisted her brain to be able to attract Tina. Several times he bought good food for lunch with Tina. During a week of lunch at the famous cafe around his workplace, Joko starts to run out of money. Moreover, he had to help his economically deprived parents. At that time Joko's sister was still sitting on the SD bench. Jakarta life is indeed so difficult for people in the lower middle.

"Damn it! The study is still far away, the money is running out. How's Tina's lunch tomorrow? This week he's already started deket ama me," he said as he walked home.

Even the money that is usually used to ride the bus, Joko used it to not rest. He had to walk ten kilometers to get to his house.

It was getting late and Joko had not yet reached her house. Walking lethargicly and often cursing his poverty. Then Joko was surprised when the car horn sounded loud. There was a car next to him, opening the side glass and the driver leaned to the side.

"From the road, huh? Want together?" the middle-aged woman in the car turned out to be a car service subscription where Joko worked.

"Oh, Miss Silvi, huh? Yes, Madam. I missed the bus to be on the road" Joko replied as she scratched her head, feeling clumsy.

"Come in here, I'll take you. Coincidentally also in that direction," said Bu Silvi with a friendly smile.

Coveted buds ulam also arrived, Joko's legs survived broken and tired. He rushed into Bu Silvi's blue Honda Jass.

After Joko closes the door and wears a seatbelt, Ms. Silvi steps on the gas and goes at low speed. Intentionally in need in order to be able to talk to the dashing young man with the sharp nose.

"Why the road? There was a bus pass by and it wasn't dismissed either" said the woman, starting a slightly awkward conversation.

"Mom see ya? That's very shameful. I forgot to bring money, Mom," replied Joko very embarrassed. His cheeks started to turn red and it was clearly visible.

"Duh, don't call me Mom. I don't look old, do I? Call Silvi aja or aunt," said Aunt Silvi in a seductive tone.

Joko who has no experience about love and is still a virgin, does not know what Aunt Silvi means. He just smiled and responded to the words of the woman.

"I'm sorry, Mom. Eeh.... Aunt Silvi is good."

"Yes, dong. During this time Auntie also love you tips right. Not told to your cashier?"

"Huh? What tips Auntie? No thank you," joko chirped very naive.

"Well, aren't you given? Aunty has been almost five times to the workshop and always ask you who serves the Aunty car. The money tips that Aunty left to the flirtatious cashier was pretty much hlo, Joko..."

Joko was dumbfounded, so Tina's been robbing Joko of her rights?

"Really, Aunt. Sorry if Joko didn't accept."

"Eh, don't apologize. It's your cashier's fault for that naughtiness. Aunt doesn't like him. Yaudah, ntar Auntie again tips for five times car service. Joko's been eating yet?"

"So lunch has already been eaten, but because the morning has not had breakfast now become a rumble. He he he.... Let's just say not yet, Auntie." The innocent Joko doesn't know she's being targeted by a happy aunt.

"Then it's really fitting. We eat yuk?" Aunt Silvi turned the steering wheel towards the left. Ready-to-eat dining, MCD.

"Let's get off, Joko. Just eat here."

"Well, I've never eaten there before" said Joko, to be honest.

"Jaudah we will buy ya. Don't use my word, it's too stiff. Just relax with Auntie."

They also went to MCD. Buy three food packages to eat there. Obviously, the two packages for Joko and the package for the beautiful-faced Aunt Silvi and the body of the Spanish guitar tub, are very well maintained.

"Take it off, Joko. We'll buy it on take away. How many people are home?"

"Duh, this is really good burger with potatoes and chicken, thank you Tante Silvi. Oiya, at home there is my Father, Mother, and sister," replied Joko as she devoured the food in front of her greedily.

"Well this new steady soul. Many portions and full. This week I lost a lot of money to buy Tina in a cafe that has food as high as. It was even my tips money taken by him. Tina's... Tina.... Is it not enough to torture my heart? Even my wallet was ripped apart" Joko said inwardly.

After the food ran out, Aunt Silvi walked over to the cashier ordering a few more packages to take home. He was very attentive with Joko. Joko was happy and pleased. Feel lucky to meet car service subscriptions in his workshop, as good and as understanding as Aunt Silvi.

"Let's go Joko home. This aunt bought five packages huh. Help you carry it, this weight."

"Tock five, Auntie?"

"There were three people in the house, right? Keep Joko if you eat one is not full. Yaudah Aunty buy all of you if you're hungry tonight just eat, done right."

Aunt Silvi's attention is maximal. Uluuh make Joko so happy and ngefans. The first day he met Aunt Silvi, he had splashed his sustenance.

"Aunty is so good?"

"Ah, it's normal, Joko."

After getting into the car. Aunt Silvi grabbed her bag and picked up a blue banknote.

"Your house is near, just wait until yes? This money tips five times car service. Accepted yes, Joko."

"Tan... Aunties.... This serious? A lot," replied Joko while gawking.

That fifty thousand piece of money was roughly worth two million.

"Serious donk, aunty nitip every ngasi tips four hundred thousand. It's worth two million, isn't it, Joko?"

"Of course there are many aunts! It's the same as my salary for a month."

"Well, Joko only got two million?"

"Yes, Aunt. He said it was because I had just graduated STM and had no work experience. UMR Jakarta is over two million. What can you do from being unemployed. If there is overtime or a new additional project can be a bonus. That's a hundred thousand for one overtime. If overtime can be up to night, Auntie." explained Joko at length and Aunt Silvi noticed very well.

"Joko, if you want to service Aunt's car in person. Aunty gives a million per service, won't you?"

"Seriously, Auntie? How's the service going?"

"At the Aunt's house. It'll be some kind of personal mechanic. Oiya, can Joko drive?"

"Can, Aunt. But I don't have a SIM."

"Well, if you want to be the personal driver of Auntie. Five million a month."

Very tempting offer. Joko was immediately sparkling and the spirit assies.

"That's right, Aunt. Want dong! But I can't just get out of work. I have to wait for the end of the month."

It did not feel that the car had reached the alley of Joko's house. "Eh stop, Auntie. Your house is in there."

"Yes, Joko. Gini aja, Auntie love Aunty's business card. If for example have arrived home and rest, do not forget to tell Aunt. Whenever Joko wants to work at Auntie's, it's welcome."

"Ready, Aunt."

Joko got off the blue Honda Jass with a bag of MCD food. Then he waved to Aunt Silvi who started leaving Joko at the edge of the alley.

Joko is excited to go home. He imagined how happy his parents and sister would be to get good food and more money to survive the harshness of the Capital City.

"Mom, Abah, Sister.... Bang came home. There's a windfall of MCD chicken rice!" joko said in a loud voice.

"Who's home? Horeee.." joko's sister cheered happily.

"Alhamdulillah... Joko brought food, right? Yesterday's rice was yellowing, '" replied the mother, grateful.

"I'm sorry, Bang, it should be Abah who works. But what's more, Abah's legs have been deformed like this," lirih Abah felt sorry because of an accident that took one leg.

"Oh, napa so melow like this. Bang bring his fortune to Seneng. Udah Abah, Mother and Sister from now on do not be sad. Bang has a new job candidate whose salary is bigger. Ntar all the buffets of Bang's house are filled" said Joko bragging.

Joko is currently twenty years old, but she has just graduated STM. A difficult life makes it late to enter STM. That's why you have to work as a laundry worker to help pay for school. As third grade was nearing graduation, Abah had a work accident while building a housekeeping project. Abah's leg was amputated because there was diabetes, the wound did not dry out. Since then, life has been difficult. It's getting harder to feel.

For Joko, Aunt Silvi's offer is very attractive. She imagined being able to provide for her family and buy her a decent school for her sister. Not to forget he remembered with Tina who likes men to money, Joko more sure can hook his adoration.

"Mother, this Bang there's over a million dollars. I bring it and use it to buy what the house needs. Bang wants to take a shower, huh?" joko said while kissing her mother's hand.
