On the way down the street of Yogyakarta at night to the house of Saras' parents, no conversation took place between Tan and Saras.
But Tan realizes that Saras has been staring at him ever since he got into his car.
"Yes, I learned how to drive last Sunday and just got the SIM a few days ago, this car belongs to me, not rented, I bought myself in cash, anyways for what I rented a car, no rent a car, it's a waste of money." Obviously Tan.
"You bought it in cash? What about your debt? Do you owe me another loan to buy a car?" Saras asked with a shocked expression.
"I'm not stupid, Saras, there's no way I'm going to buy a car with a debt and I've paid it off, I've found a job with an income that would allow me to buy a car without compromising the needs of my life." Answer Saras.
Saras thought for a moment about the work that Tan meant. He thought various jobs were earning high salaries, but when matched to Tan's introverted nature, it was impossible for Tan to do.
"When have you done this job?" Ask Saras who is full of probing.
"Since I parted ways with you, I've certainly had to change and have to get a job to make ends meet." Answer Tan.
Saras thought for a moment and still had not found the work done by Tan. "What job can make a lot of money in just a short time to be able to buy a luxury SUV like this in cash without reducing the needs of his life?" Ask Saras in him.
He then thought of an illegal job such as a courier or drug dealer.
"You didn't do any unlawful work, did you?" Ask Saras to make sure.
"Of course not, I'm not so stupid and crazy as to want to do unlawful work." Resolutely Tan, denied Saras's accusations.
"Good, but what job did you do to buy this car in cash? How much is this car worth?" Ask Saras.
Tan did not give an answer. He thought for a moment to tell or not tell Saras about his work.
Come to think of it, there was no loss whatsoever if Tan told her work to her ex-boyfriend.
"I made short-term investments, long-term trades and investments, bought some shares of the company, it just so happened that the investments I made yielded very good results" Tan replied. "And this car costs 1.32 billion." Further.
Saras is shocked to hear the price of the car purchased by Tan and he pays in cash. "What is stock investing and trading that easy to do and get a lot of profit?"
Saras understood little about trading because his best friend who he knew since college, worked in the field of trading at financial companies engaged in trading investment. His best friend has been a trader since working at the company.
His friend once invited himself to invest in the company with the lure of big profits. But Saras rejected it because he was not too sure of such an investment.
If it does get a lot of benefits easily, why did his best friend not become a billionaire? Still working as a trader in the company.
He is better off buying shares of some safe company for his long-term investment than investing in a trading field where there is a greater chance of loss than buying shares of the company for the long-term.
The car purchased by Tan is not as expensive as the one owned by his fiancee who reached almost 4 billion, but his fiancee bought it on credit while Tan bought it in cash despite the price of 1.32 billion, it's still a billion, not hundreds of thousands or millions.
"With that alone proves that Tan has a lot of money from trading." Thought Saras.
Sebuah pikiran buruk muncul dalam dirinya. "Seandainya aku bertahan sedikit lebih lama, mungkin aku bisa menikmati kekayaan yang dimiliki Tan, apa aku telah melakukan sebuah kesalahan pada keputusan yang aku ambil?" Tanya Saras dalam pikirannya.
Saras did not need to ask about the profit revenue obtained by Tan during trading because by buying a car for 1.32 billion in cash alone has proven that he got a very large profit from his trading.
As Saras drifted in his mind regarding Tan's wealth, the car driven by Tan has arrived in front of Saras's parents' house which is inside one of the housing in Bantul district.
"Would you like to go in for tea and meet papa and mama? You haven't seen them in a long time, have you?" Take Saras.
Tan rejected it subtly, however, it was night and also less ethical to visit nights especially at the home of women who some more will hold a wedding.
Even though there are parents at home, Tan still feels less ethical doing it. He escorted Saras, who was engaged to be an unethical act.
"Hopefully the neighbors did not do any hootings about Saras because of this." Thought Tan.
Saras got out of Tan's car with a slightly chaotic feeling in his mind.
"Give my regards to Om and Auntie" Tan told Saras, who was standing outside the car through the front passenger seat window.
Saras just nodded his head and Tan without saying anything else, he ran his car while closing the windshield window of the front passenger seat with a button on the driver's door dashboard.
Meanwhile Saras was still pensive to see Tan's car which was getting away and then disappeared because of a turn.
"Did I really make a mistake?" Thought Saras. "No, Tan may have managed to profit from trading but that can't guarantee whether it will continue to work, Harry has a monthly salary and it's more stable than getting money from trading." Saras said that he convinced himself that he had done nothing wrong in making a decision.
Meanwhile, Tan drove his new car casually, down the night road of Yogyakarta city to a fast food, namely MDonald to buy a hamburger, chicken package, and some snacks.
His stomach still left a lot of space, not even a third of the capacity of his stomach is filled.
He did not know that Saras thought about his decision wrong or did not part with him, even Tan never once crossed his mind to think about it.
He only lives whatever is in his future, for him the past, let it be a memory for him whether it be good or bad memories.
Tan thought Saras with himself had parted well so there was nothing to think about it anymore.
The day passes quickly and without feeling Saras and Harry's wedding day will take place tomorrow, but Tan only realizes that he does not have proper clothes to attend the wedding.
She was going to attend such a formal wedding party so she had to have decent clothes for it.
Therefore, he went to the Magurukmo plaza which is one part with the company that manages the royal Magurukmo hotel.
Tan went to the plaza by car rather than by motorbike because he already felt more comfortable using the car for a distance of more than 2 km from his home.
In addition, he also plans to buy some new clothes in addition to the type of training set and t-shirts. Right now he had the money to buy those things.
If he is still the same as before, still has debt and no income, of course he has no mind to fill his closet with new clothes and different from what he has today.
Arriving at one of the largest and most luxurious malls in Yogyakarta, Tan immediately walked away from the underground parking area by riding an elevator.
He had to wait with one couple who would use the elevator. The couple wore clothes and accessories that were quite luxurious that Tan felt the price of the item they used had a price of at least one million.
"It's a pity to look at him, wearing training sets for a walk in a luxury mall like the Magurukmo plaza, isn't he overconfident?" Whisper a woman on a couple.
The couple's whereabouts were not too far away from Tan and he could still hear their conversation as there were only the three of them waiting for the elevator door to open.
Tan does wear training set clothes and flip-flops. Hoodie's jacket and jeans, numbering only one, are in the process of drying by the sun after washing before leaving for the Magurukmo plaza.
"He's just a poor man, ignore it, the manager of this plaza is too good to let someone like himself get into this luxurious plaza."
Although the couple spoke with pride and contempt about Tan, the man simply ignored the couple, assuming the pair were just flies flying nearby.
As long as the fly pair did not make physical contact with him, he would continue to ignore the fly pair.
"But why is he here, isn't this the car park area, did he come here by car?" Ask a female fly.
"Hahaha, even though he was driving here, at most his car was a pickup, indeed let alone a car that was suitable for him to drive other than that type of car?" Reply to the male fly who laughed insultsly.
The female fly also laughed and felt a little stupid because it had thought the type of car driven by Tan was a type of luxury car like his partner's car, Tota Fortune for 500 million.
Even though his partner's car is still in arrears of credit. But that is common. How many people can buy a car in cash, only conglomerates such as BPS owners, Mangrove Warehouse, Sempurna, Jaya group and other large company owners.
Only those conglomerates could afford luxury cars in cash because after all their annual possessions were no longer millions or billions but already trillions. Almost equal to the regional budget or state budget.
If only they knew that Tan had income every day 30-50 million from trading that never failed. When calculated per month then there are about 5 billion income Tan.
No formal or non-formal jobs could generate 5 billion/month besides Tan. Although there are traders who might be able to make 5 billion/month but that is only once twice not every month.
The woman would immediately dig a hole and bury herself in the hole because she was ashamed of her thoughts on Tan who was considered a poor man.
The elevator doors were open and there was no one in the elevator so Tan went in with the couple. Tan stood in the right corner and the couple stood behind the left corner, trying to get away from Tan.
The man still ignored it and pressed the first floor button because based on the information board attached above the elevator door tells the location of the fashion outlet in the plaza.
Meanwhile, the couple who were using the elevator together with Tan had yet to press the floor button they were on as the floor they were on was the first floor as well.
While in the elevator, the couple endlessly talked about Tan in the negative. Even so Tan could still be patient over their humiliation because he did not want to get into trouble or commotion with others.
"There is no point in finding a commotion with them, just keep insulting me, with that humiliation the degree I will rise, the reward will be given 2x fold and my sins will be blotted out by Allah SWT." Thought Tan.
Just a few minutes, the elevator stopped on the first floor and the elevator door opened immediately. The three of them immediately came out with Tan the first time out.
Tan took a walk down the hallway on the first floor while looking at clothing outlets selling formal or semi-formal clothing.
After passing through several clothing outlets, he stopped at a clothing store with the exclusive brand.
Tan knew that the brand was so famous in the international scene that he immediately walked towards the brand.
"Honey, he turned out to also go to the exclusive clothing store, can he afford to buy clothes there?" Ask a female fly.
"Hahaha, no way, the price of the brand is very expensive, the cheapest price of the brand is only 35 thousand and it's just a pair of socks." Answer the male fly.
In addition to himself, it turns out without Tan knowing the fly pair also headed to the clothing outlet and the fly pair was increasingly insulting Tan from behind.
Tan entered the branded clothing store and a female employee saw Tan's arrival.
She initially wanted to greet Tan and serve him, but upon seeing Tan's clothes, she immediately changed her mind and turned to the pair of flies wearing luxurious clothes.
Tan was unaware of that and he casually walked into the booth. The man saw a shirt hanging from the store.
The branded clothing store was not visited by many visitors to the plaza so many employees who worked at the outlet had an empty time.
But no one came to Tan to serve him because they saw the clothes used by Tan, it doesn't look like the guy who has the money to buy clothes at the branded clothing store.
However, not all employees in the store have a discriminatory attitude and bad-minded on visitors who come to their workplace outlets.
