DRAGON CARVED JADE BRACELET
Chapter 41: BEGINNING LIFE

    According to the order of Mr. RT, Jamil went to the village that day.Of course to meet the Mayor.At least he will report as a villager.

    "Good afternoon Mr. Lurah....My name is Jamil....I'm the new guy who occupies the house there sir....This morning Mr. RT met me, and asked me to immediately meet Mr. Lurah" Jamil said after meeting with Mr. Lurah. 

    "Oh yeah….We are very happy Mas Jamil wants to stay in the house.May he live in Kampung Naga.." said Pak Lurah who mentioned that the area occupied by Jamil is Kampung Naga. 

    “That area is called Kampung Naga, Sir..?”ask Jamil.

    "Yes….The area is called Kampung Naga….The story goes that the people who lived there said that the place was the center of a dragon shaped like a dragon.The barongsai dancers who play dragons, the, very great and skilled.And of course very famous in various regions.People of Chinese descent from outside the city if you want to receive barongsai, must come to Naga Village.”obviously Pak Lurah.

    "Ooo.... Sorry sir.... I didn't know that. Well then, which region does this Dragon Village enter, sir?"ask Jamil who is still confused about his whereabouts. 

    “This is the province of Juwana.Administratively included in Pati Regency.Don't worry.... The people here are rural.... There are Javanese, there are Arabs, there are also Chinese.Nah, if Kampung Naga, the area where you live, there are also Arabs, it used to be a settlement of Chinese descent.That's why there are many shops and there are also temples.But it's okay.The people here are all kind and very tolerant.Do not worry about religious beliefs or issues,"mr. Lurah said to his district.

    "Yes sir….Thanks for the information." replied Jamil.

    "By the way, how could Mas Jamil buy that house...?"ask Mayor.

    “I don't know, Sir.. Someone drove me there.Suddenly the owner of the house told me to come in."Jamil remembers the incident he experienced.

    "The one who owns the old woman's house...?"ask Mayor.

    "Rubber sir... I forgot what his face was like. We did not pay much attention because it was still morning" said Jamil who had forgotten the face of the owner of the house.

    "Mas Jamil is very lucky.. We wanted to meet many times but never could. And in the past, many people wanted to buy a house, but never agreed. The price is too high." said Mr. Lurah talking about the house.

    “Ohh..., correct Sir.” Jamil who was told immediately nodded.

    “Ya..., we ourselves often drive buyers.But, yes it is..., said the old woman is impossible because the person who wants to buy it is a person who is not suitable to occupy the house.There are also those who say the money is the result of corruption, he does not want to accept illegal money... But, there are various reasons."Mr. Lurah explained the process of buying and selling the house.

    "Like that, sir...?"answer Jamil.

    "Betul Mas Jamil's... That old woman is weird. If we find it hard to find it. But if we don't look for him, he's suddenly near me. Strange.." said Mr. Lurah, telling the owner of the house now occupied by Jamil.

    “Ooo..., correct Sir.” said Jamil.

    “Omong-by the way, how much did Mas Jamil buy that house?”ask Mr. Lurah suddenly.

    “We don't know Sir.How much, yesterday morning the woman took the money from the plastic bag so quickly.She immediately took it.Not counted.She immediately handed the house to us.But she ordered that we take care of the house as best as possible.Nobody can get dirty."answer Jamil.

    "Wow, right... That woman is so weird. He was paid billions by businessmen, but he was not released. Not likely... Well, that's Mas Jamil's windfall." said Mr. Lurah again.

    "Jih, Mr. Lurah.... Thank you." said Jamil.

    Jamil had a long conversation with Mr. Lurah.Various things about the house he lived in, he said, which certainly adds to the happiness of Jamil.Especially the attitude of Pak Lurah who is good and open will certainly make Jamil feel at home in Kampung Naga.Bak even Pak Lurah empathize when Jamil tells of his house burning.And of course Pak Lurah will help everything related to the administration and its presence in Kampung Naga.Bak even Pak Lurah also offered Jamil a job as an employee in the brass industry. 

    Of course Jamil was very happy, and accepted the offer of the new leader.Good leaders who understood the needs of his people.Now the people in Kampung Naga look prosperous.

    "Friday...! Yumomi...!!"Jamil called his wife, after returning from the village.

    "What's up, brother...?Why are you screaming like a child." asked Juminem who was in the living room, Momong Melian while watching television.

    "This is me from the village.. I was invited to talk to Mr. Mayor about this house. Mr. Mayor told me a lot about this house and its owner.... Right, Jum.." said an enthusiast Jamil.

    "Was.... If only the owner of this house who used to have it, the grandmother who just came home from here this morning. She accompanied me to cook and take care of Melian. He told me a lot. He even gave me advice. He gave me a lot of messages, Kang.... The important thing is that we are instructed to keep the house clean, so as not to be contaminated with food that is not halal" said Juminem who was preparing food for her husband.

    "Really, Jum...?So the grandma who owns this house just came here?”ask Jamil.

    “True Kang…. We have to live honestly…. Do not trouble others, do not take rights that do not belong to them, and do not harm others…. Come on. , here while you eat.... Must be hungry." said Juminem.

    “Hehe... Yes, Jum...” said Jamil who directly devoured his wife's food voraciously.Especially this time he ate in a nice place, at a nice dining table, and at a good table, and sit in a soft chair.Pastinya food that is enjoyed becomes more delicious. 

    “Wah, Jum..., your cooking this time is delicious..” said Jamil who praised his wife's cooking.

    “Grandma helped me with that before. While teaching me how to use various kitchen utensils. No, Brother ..., it turns out that the tools in this kitchen are all modern …. This is called a gas stove … .I used to be unable to turn it on, constantly being taught by grandma. Now you can, brother.... Continue to be taught how to make ice .... Well, said grandma, if we buy such cooking ingredients such as fish, vegetables or fruit, to be more durable we are told to enter the refrigerator.... Look at this, I put kolka on some vegetables. Here I have made a fresh drink, ice cubes.syrup..," said Juminem who immediately handed me a glass of iced syrup that looks fresh.

    "Go, Jum.... It's delicious." said Jamil, who had sipped a glass of iced syrup.

    “Yang this is Kak.., his name is washing machine. We can wash these clothes automatically. No need to be rubbed or squeezed. Once done, just take it out and dry it for a while" said Juminem who showed the washing machine to her husband. 

    "No way.... Why are you so good now...?"said Jamil who of course was happy to see his wife happy.

    "Well, this is Kang.... His name was piano. It was a musical instrument to accompany the great singers." said Juminem, pointing at the piano.

    "Well.., then I'm fine, Jum.." Jamil said.

    “Iya Kang.. Tomorrow for our children. Uh, sister. said Grandma earlier, Melian is not an arbitrary child. She said Melian had a very powerful mystic aura. We have to take good care of it, don't teach bad things, the consequences can be fatal later." said Juminem who had been advised by the grandmother.

    “True too, Jum.... We've known for the past few days that Melian wasn't just a child. And I'm sure, the fate of all of us must have something to do with Melian. Therefore, we must be careful of our child as best we can" Jamil told his wife.

    “Iya Kang's…. Now, how does Kang Jamil work? Kang Jamil's workplace in Pamotan Lasem is far away, Kang.…” Suddenly Juminem asked her husband's job.

    "Don't worry, Jum.... Just now Mr. Lurah offered me a job at a brass craftsman. I will work there." replied Jamil who is certainly also happy because he got a new job.

    “Alhamdulillah.., thank goodness, Kang…. At least we can meet the needs of food by buying milk for Melian…. And if I may, Kang.., I want to take the time to sew, Kang.." said Juminem of course also happy.

    "Yes.., please. But the most important thing about your job is Melian's son. Nurturing our beloved son." said Jamil.

    "Of course, Brother .... Melian and I are inseparable." said Juminem who immediately kissed Melian's forehead.

    "Ma.., ma.., ma...." Melian directly held onto Juminem's nose, which of course was already considered her mother.

    The three of them laughed together.Good fun.
