EIGHT TARGETS
48. Resolutions

“Who Nak?  You know his brother?”  Tanya Bu Nana who was curious about her son who knew the gulali peddler.

“Oh, my friend SD Kaiser Bu.”  Seeing Kaiser silent with a glaring expression on his face, Sang Abang took the initiative to answer Bu Nana's question.

The Father and Mother then seemed to pay close attention to the Brother.  The brother opened a round hat that almost covered the top of his head.  Only then did the young man's face clearly appear in front of the Father and Mother.

“Wah, sorry Nak for guessing your age wrong.  You seem to be young.  Auntie thought you were almost 30s with that hat.”  Said Bu Nana while smiling kindly at Halim, the gulali peddler.

Halim seemed shy to return the beautiful smile of Bu Nana who, despite being in her 40s, looked fit skin like a teenager.

Kaiser sentimentally suddenly floated his body and hugged Halim.

“Thank God.  Thank goodness you're okay Halim.”

“Kaiser?  What's all of a sudden?”  Said Halim who was confused by Kaiser's attitude.

Kaiser sobbing.  Tears fell on his cheeks and drenched Halim's shoulders.  Halim patted Kaiser on the shoulder to calm him down.

“Kaiser what's up Nak?”  Said the Mother worried as Bu Nana and Pak Lucias caressed the back of her son.

“I.  I was so worried to hear your news that you suddenly quit school after your family went bankrupt.  And you.  You're being chased by loan sharks.  In the movies, many such people are then killed for sale of his organs on the black market.”  Said Kaiser sobbing while still hugging Halim.

“I didn't expect you to be so worried about me Kaiser.  Sorry for not immediately informing the kids as soon as my condition improved.”  Halim.

Halim then released Kaiser's arms carefully while smiling warmly at him.

“After the incident, I stayed at my grandfather's house in this village.  Incidentally after that incident, my three uncles were each accepted to work abroad simultaneously in the company they work for now.  They were all accepted in pretty big companies.  My three uncles then collected the money and paid off my father's debts.  Now I'm no longer pursued by debt collectors.”

“Lantas why do you work like this?”

“Wah, it seems that you underestimated me too much.  I'm a self-employed man who sells gulali.  My income can reach 200 thousand per day, one month 6 million.  Hehehehe.”

“Where do you sell on another day?  Isn't the night market only open on Sundays?”

“Of course I peddled him around the village.”  Said Halim who seemed to be trying hard to boast, but could not hide his shyness.

He then continued, “Well, even though I work at night like this.  I went to school in the morning.  I haven't dashed my dream of becoming a more successful entrepreneur in the future.”  Halim said with a bright smile.

“Thank God, and also Sorry, Halim.  Could have been what happened to you because of my actions.”  Kaiser said suddenly while bowed trembling.

“Kaiser, exactly what do you mean?”  The confused Halim asked.  Looks behind them Bu Nana and Mr. Lucias are also worried.

“Before the incident happened to you, I had said the inappropriate thing.  Maybe why it happened.”  Kaiser seemed unable to hide his guilt and trembling.

“What did you say?  I can understand that you said such a thing first because of my outrageous attitude as well.  So why if you say it?  Is that why you feel guilty?  Kaiser, you think too much.  Sometimes a person can not hold back his emotions and that's a natural thing.”  Say Halim while raising a gaze that seems to say ‘what does this person think?’.

“So, don't think about it.  Moreover, if this is indeed caused by your words that finally make it a prayer and the incarnation of the Almighty, the wrong is purely me because of my evil deeds to Dios first.  You're not wrong anything.  I have absolutely no grudge against you.”  Say Halim by emphasizing each of her words with a dynamic emotion on her face.

Halim continued with a warm smile on her face.  “On the contrary, I love you very much, my precious friend.”

Hearing Halim's words in the last part, Kaiser was unable to stem his emotions.  Kaiser shed tears.  This time tears of happiness.  His eyeballs glow blue like diamonds.  The guilt that had been piled up a little subsided with the words of Halim.  Bu Nana and Mr. Lucias who was behind them also joined in the blue atmosphere by stroking his son's fine hair like silk.

Kaiser wiped his tears.  He smiled and looked at Halim.

“Yosh!  As a celebration, Halim, I order all your scrolls today.”  Kaiser said as he smiled.

He looked at the three children who were standing behind them.

“Kids, you can call your friends to enjoy the gulali of this Halim Sister.  The brother who bought.  Can you, Mom, Dad?”  Kaiser stared at his father and mother with a hearty expression.

“Of course my son.”  Bu Nana's words were accompanied by the smiles of both Kaiser's parents with warmth.

“Yaaay!”  The kids cheered happily too.

Halim also noticed the harmony with a bright smile on her face.

After a long time joking at the place, Halim also said goodbye because the merchandise was up and he wanted to immediately do PR to welcome his school tomorrow.

“Duh, Mom's feet hurt son, we also go home yuk.”  Miss Nana who is tired then invites her entourage to come back.

“Mother?  Mom okay?”  Kaiser said worriedly as he examined his mother's legs.

“Duh, Mom.  Why go to the night market anyway, Mother still wear high heels?  The size of the shoes is also smaller than the size of the actual legs of the mother.  It is worth bia blisters like this” said Kaiser while breathing wonder.

“Kaiser.  U-ku-ran ka-ki I-bu mang per-ti i-ni!”  Ms. Nana who was commented on the size of her shoes by her own son looked angry and deliberately emphasized every consonant in her words.

“Sorry Mom, Kaiser is wrong.”  Kaiser only laughed wryly while apologizing to see his mother who had such expression.

“Dad, let's take Mom to home now with kids.”  Kaiser said to his father.

“Of course.  Yes, Kaiser?  You're not coming?”  Looking at his son who seemed to be walking in the opposite direction, Lucias asked.

“Hahaha.  Kaiser still wants to enjoy the night market a little.  Just chill.  Kaiser will be back before 11 p.m.  If there's anything, you can call me by my number.  Coincidentally Kaiser brought HP here.”  Kaiser replied with a laugh while showing his smartphone with the back of the smartphone facing his father.

Kaiser's father and mother, who were initially reluctant to leave her son alone, decided to give up because she did not want to dim the pleasure of her son, which she had painstakingly gained back.  Kaiser finally broke away from his father's entourage who returned home.

He then looked at his actual smartphone from earlier had an incoming call without his father and mother knowing because of the position of the disilent smartphone.  The incoming call reads ‘Senior SMP_001_Araka’.
