Joe William
Tiara's father wants to apply for a loan
...Kuala Nipah's...
The middle-aged man, walked over with lips to smile.
Arriving at a board-walled house, he immediately knocked on the door.
Tok tock..!
Kreeek...
The door of the house opened, from the inside, a middle-aged woman welcomed the arrival of the middle-aged man while kissing his hand. "Have you gone, sir?"
"It has. Today there is not much work, but fortunately it is quite large," replied the middle-aged man.
"How come, sir?" Ask the wife curious.
Not that you don't know, in our village this will have the arrival of businessmen. They also plan to set up a sardine fish factory. All of my catch fish have they bought everything at a high price," replied the middle-aged man sitting there fanning out in a hat.
"Gee. If this was the case, chances are the people in this village will prosper. Just try from the first there is someone who wants to accommodate the catch of fish at an adequate price,"
"Mom. I plan to borrow money from the savings and loan cooperative they set up. The plan is, I will use the money as the initial capital. We buy fish from the fishermen, then we sell them. Yeah, as a little tauke. What do you think, mother,"
"Good too, sir. Hurry on! Before others have the same thoughts and precede. Approximately, how much money loan do you want to apply for?" Ask the wife.
"To build a warehouse, buy all the equipment such as ice crates, transport cars, and so on. Also for the capital to buy their fish before being sold back to the big tauke. Five hundred million might be enough!" The man said he surprised his wife.
"Five hundred million rupiah? That many? Sir. Will we be able to pay for it?" Ask the wife who is starting to worry.
"You don't have to worry. If today only our income is good, especially if we buy fish belonging to others and sell it back. The profits can be many times over!" Answer the husband.
"I'm still worried if we can't afford that debt sir,"
"You calm down, Mom. It is time to fix our family economy. If we don't dare to take risks, then we'll just walk in place forever. Tiara also needs tuition fees. Poor that kid. She's our only daughter, but she's always had a hard time" the husband said.
"That's bang. If so, try it. Then, what is your guarantee to borrow that much money?" Ask the wife.
"This house and its land. Then, I plan to hand over my inheritance coconut garden land letter to the savings and loan cooperative. Hopefully that will be enough to convince them" replied the husband.
The wife, though apparently very worried, could not prevent the harsh will of her husband. In his heart he prayed, hopefully this is not the beginning of the catastrophe that will befall their families, and also the people of Kuala Nipah village.

"Dad.., Mother. I'm home!" Shouted a girl about twenty years old from the direction of the courtyard of the house.
With smiles on the faces of the two middle-aged couples, the two of them immediately welcomed the girl.
"You're home, Tiara!" Asked the mother while stroking the hair of the girl who had just arrived earlier.
"Yes Mom. Tiara misses Mom and Dad!' answer the girl.
"What about your college, son?" Now the father changed to ask.
"Thank God everything went well. Oh yea. Tiara look, there seems to be something very serious?" Ask the girl and guess.
The middle-aged couple looked at each other for a moment. It seemed like they were asking each other for opinions, what should they say to this mere princess of his puppet.
After a while the girl waited, the mother finally explained everything they had discussed.
"Borrowing money at the cooperative? Must be the flowers they put on very high?!" Tiara.
"That's it, your father,"
"It's all for us, too. For the sake of success, everyone must take risks. It is better to fail, but to try, than not to fail, but not to succeed because of fear of taking risks" he defended himself.
"I'm worried that these are the people that Joe is telling me about as his enemy" Tiara muttered between sounding and not.
"What did you say Tiara?" Ask the Father.
"Eh.., no."
"When are you going to apply for a loan?" Ask the girl.
"Dad will still take care of the requirements. Maybe in two days you will apply for a loan. You help with prayer!" Answer the Father.
"Come excuse me, ma'am. Tiara cape's. Get some rest!"
"Tiaras. You look very tangled. Did you have another fight with Joe? This time, what's the problem again?" Ejek the mother.
"It's Mom. Don't mention her name. I'm lazy" said the girl. Then, he hurriedly left to avoid any questions that might be very difficult for him to answer.
After Tiara's death, her parents only shook their heads to see her daughter's behavior.
"That's it. They are small. Still unstable!" Said the father while leaning his body on the chair.
Seriate...
