My Future's
Bik Selvi

Jaye looked pityfully at the girl who had managed to steal his heart. The usual cheerful girl spoke nonstop, now becoming moody, reserved, even just one or two words coming out of her lips in a day.

Where did that passionate girl go and have a smile as bright as the sun? The look on his face was now very desperate as if surrounded by cloudy clouds that could rain anytime.

Jaye did come on the second day after the death of Mbah Sarni, because you were indeed notified by Bli Wayan. Though the man was busy opening a new HP counter in the city area, but to ensure the state of the girl in his heart, he left all his work.

....

"You've had breakfast" asked Arif's new package who had come. Arif package did not sleep at the home of his late mother, because his brother who lives in the next province had come and slept in the house.

There was no response from Tata, he remained in his position sitting on the porch with his knees hugging, his body getting thinner, and his body getting thinner, the dark circles in her eye area indicated that the girl was sleep deprived and looked increasingly miserable.

"Ta.." said Bik Mini who was sitting next to him. Bik Mini is chatty but his caring soul is quite high especially to his nephew.

"Let's go for a walk, find the wind, cut the road" but Tata was silent.

"Udah come with Bibik" forced Tata to get up from her seat and dragged her towards the house of Madam Ketut.

"Jaye is Bli ready?" ask Bik Mini on Bli Wayan. Today, Arif and his wife, Bli Wayan and Mbak Ketut, deliberately kept Tata away from home, because Bik Mini's sister-in-law made an unexpected uproar.

"Udah. Ye...quickly" Bli Wayan cried to his sister. Jaye immediately ran out of the house.

"Come on" said Jaye pulling Tata's hand towards his bike.

"Don't forget to feed Bibik Ye" Bik Mini's message hinted not to go home soon.

"Don't worry Bik" said Jaye with a smile on his lips.

Jaye also left his brother's house for a walk somewhere important away from home so that Tata did not hear the noise caused by his late mother's sister.

"So how'd you like Selvi's mom?" paklek Arif opened their voices.they all gathered in the middle room of the late Mbah Sarni house, there were Arif paklek and Bik Mini, Bli Wayan and Mbak Ketut, among others, Bik Selvi and her husband are none other than the second child of Mbah Sarni.

"The same father does not love anything as I am Rif, while you have been given two hectares of fields, mbaknya Novi also does not exist, I want this house" he explained.

"Mbak Novi does not exist, but there is still a system that you can forget!!" paklek Arif reminded.

"The order is still young, later if she married must be brought with her husband" he seems.

"Mbak also brought the same husband, right?"

"You don't be Rif, I'm your brother, don't be so calculating, your only blood relative in the world is just me"

"I know it's Ma'am, but don't miss it either. Mama does not love anything like Mama, but not among the children Mamak, Mabak is always a priority? The ship also mbak ask for remittances Mamak money and you always love? without knowing how money can exist? Even money from work mbak Novi time so TKW is often sent to mbak Selvi, which should be for the cost of living Mamak"

"I don't want to know, I want this house anyway. Don't you think there are still fields and rice fields? that's for Tata, I'm home" she broke.

"Sawah and the field does have Tata mbak. because it was bought when mbak Novi was still TKW. so neither mbak nor I have rights on both lands. Even if the calculations of this house include relics mbak Novi"

"You don't overdo Rif, people you don't already remember while mbak who is still healthy gini you never ask news despite pleasantries"

The two brothers continued to argue, while the others just listened, listened, and concluded everything they debated right.

"So this house wants to be taken off at what price Cells?" Bli Wayan opened his voice, because he was reluctant to hear the debate that never met the meeting point.

"Bli.." exclaimed paklek Arif. Bli Wayan raised his hand and made the Arif paklek silent.

"I don't know how many Bli, I have to find someone who wants to buy this house" Bik Selvi said.

Bik Selvi and my husband look confused to give a price for the house, Moreover, the house is not a nice house but quite livable and very comfortable especially the owner is diligent and has a large yard.

"I pay cash 25jt today too, I think that's a pretty high price for the size of this own house" said Bli Wayan.

"Can't the price be added?" suhut husband made Selvi shamelessly.

"You can find other buyers if the price I offer is less high. But one thing is for sure, it won't be more than the price I set. If it's underneath it it's possible"

And Bli Wayan's answer made the couple silent and confused, but for the size of the small and simple house the price of 25 jt was quite high, let alone there was no excess of anything in the house.

"Bli, it's too expensive" Arif warned.

"No, I give you a fair price" I said calmly.

"Alright 25jt cash" both Selvi agreed with Bli Wayan's offer.

"OK, but I have a condition"

"What conditions?"

"You must upgrade this house today" Bali wayang stared off at the son of the late Mbah Sarni, very different from Mbah Sarni and also the Arif paklek.

"Why is that?" unacceptable.

"Because once I pay cash, this house is already mine. So I'm entitled to decide who can stay and who should go"

"Alright" his resignation.

"Then pack up, when I'm done I'll give you the money" Bli Wayan ordered.

then Bik Selvi and her husband packed her things, they had to do it quickly in order to receive money from Bli Wayan.

"Here's the money, and follow the cassava truck, you will be dropped at the intersection where the big buses pass by him" said Bli Wayan after giving a 25-jt lump of money. Then the couple left without refuting, even without saying goodbye to the Arif paklek.

"That's a high price Bli" said Arif staring at the truck that had been running.

"It's Mak Ni's house, it's like my own Mama, we love Tata too. If this house falls into the hands of others Tata would know if this house has been sold" explained Bli Wayan.

"So she meant?"

"This house will remain Tata's house, only we know if this house has been sold" he said.

"How can Bli?" pakelek Arif doesn't believe it.

"Me and Makloh had already discussed it after hearing Selvi's plan about this house. Neither do we have a problem"

"Yes Rif, Tata is like my sister. This is a form of our affection for him" said Mbak Ketut.

"Thank you for loving my niece Bli, Ma'am" Arif sir is grateful that his nephew gets affection from people around.
