MYSTERY OF TWO LODGES
CHAPTER 02 (REAL MONEY!)
Kaswadi's wife came with a box she found in an abandoned house that on Monday will be demolished to continue construction of a resort there.
The iron box he then placed on the narrow living room table, the box was not padlocked or there is no safety so to open it is enough to poke like us if you want to open the can kong guwan rengginang contents.
Around the box is still good, not much rust at all, maybe also because the quality of iron from this box is better than the iron of today.
After he was careful it turned out to open the box was enough to use his hands only, do not need other tools such as pliers or screwdrivers.
“Bu, please hold the bottom, I want to try to pull the top of this box bu” he said to his wife who was still suspicious of the box I brought this.
Braaakk…
Two large rolls of Dutch Gulden money fell on the floor as well as several sheets of paper more like a cloth full of mandarin writing also fell on the floor of his house.
“B..bu this treasure k..karun bu, this is Dutch money, who knows can still be sold bu” said Kaswadi to his wife happily
There are two rolls of Dutch money that one roll is still in the form of a gulden money that reads a thousand guilders with puppet images.
One more roll is a bit loose there may have been some sheets taken, and the rest scattered is a fraction with a small nominal in the iron box.
At the money roll, it turns out that the money roll is new money, except for small nominal denominations.
But now his wife is looking at three sheets of paper bearing the inscription mandarin which of course they do not understand at all what it means.
“Itungen ma'am, there are how many sheets of money are ma'am, who knows can sell at a hefty price bu” told him
After being carefully calculated by his wife it turns out,
“Those meeting rolls there are 30 pieces of pack, while this rather loose one is 27 pieces, while this small fraction there are 8 pieces of money one hundred guilden” replied His wife
“This Chinese writing what does it mean sir, is it possible this valuable item is also sir, because the nyimpennya along with the Dutch money pak”
“Buke jajal koe ning dik Trimo phone, ask this money is still worth or not, because my pocket old-fashioned money is expensive bu. The matter of the three Chinese writing cloth paper later we will discuss bu”
Kaswadi's wife has a sister named Trimo, she works in the city of Sby, she works as a car broker.
“Trimo opo yo ngerti to sir, he is not buying and selling money, he is in the city of Sby will sell cars pak”, said his wife with a somewhat confused face
“Jajal wae bu, who knows he understands about buying and selling money. Just ask about these three papers bu”
“Father iki piye toooo, Trimo my sister is not Chinese sir. He is a Javanese like us sir, where he can speak mandarin pak” replied his wife innocently
“Bu, hehehe. Koe iki kok yo bodoneee kebangetan mom, I know that Trimo's grandma is sitting wong cino, but she's a lot of Chinese friends mom. Wong always works with some Chinese kok bu”
“One-one first sir. The money was the one who did not ask Trimo” said his wife who then went to the room to retrieve her HP
Then he photographed one thousand guilders back and forth. Then the photo he sent to his sister who is in the city of Sby accompanied by questions.
“Wis sir, now just wait for a reply from Trimo sir, saiki mr arep breakfast what sir?”
“Now ma'am, I've never fussed if I love to eat anything ma'am, ma'am, the origin of the poison ojo bu hehehe” replied Kaswadi who tried to make it easier in front of his wife if Kaswadi asked for ration nganu
“Bu, dik Trimo hasn't responded to his Wa?”ask him impatiently
“Kosik sir, mom still get dad breakfast first sir, later do not see”
They dualapan with simple side dishes only tempeh and omelet and tomato sauce made by his wife, this sauce according to Kaswadi is the most delicious in the world.
“This pack has a reply from Trimo” said his wife who was checking her phone
“Please read me ma'am, I'll eat bu”
“...Ma'am if counterfeit money price in t*ko p*dia Only between 25 thousand to 100 thousand, depending on the condition, but if the real money can be up to 500 million copies.”
Hoekk....!! Kaswadi vomited the food in his mouth..
He trembled while looking towards his wife who also dropped his HP. They are both confused by Wa's message from his wife's sister stating that real money could be worth 500 million pieces.
“B..Bu. u. money ad..ada to us there b...how many sheets bu”
“A..there are 57 le...sheet pak” said his wife with a pale face while constantly being privileged
“Sik sir, iki no wa from Trimo again pak” said the wife while reading the contents of wa from her sister
“...mbak, this is my friend who wants to buy fake money that is 100 thousand, said my friend the money is good, the koyok kondisine original..”.
“Kui wa from Trimo mas, piye this mas what should I wa again to my sister lagimas ?” ask Kaswadi's wife with a confused face
“Begini bune , just send Trimo here bune, just say there are important things to talk about”
Kaswadi's wife finally told her sister to come to this house, in fact Kaswadi is less trusting of his wife's sister because she is a realtor and somewhat less good at trading.
But for this Kaswadi needs to open the road first before finding a serious buyer, because for building workers like him, it will not have a buying and selling relationship at all.
“Bu, if the Trimo comes, do not say that we have money in the amount of a lot, just say we only have 2 sheets of ma'am, and even that was given by the village people where father work”
“Iya sir, I understand that Trimo is not good sir, we must be more careful with him pak”
It turns out that Kaswadi's wife also understands and thinks with him, while if according to Kaswadi Trimo it's his person likes to look for opportunities from anything.
For example, if you are in trouble, he will look for donations to other brothers. But he also took advantage of the donation.
“Bu, save the money roll first and other this in a safe place mom, fear there is nothing”
“mom save where it's good sir. We take two sheets first, then the rest is put into the box again sir, continue to bury in the kitchen only sir, under the kitchen cabinet there is land pak” proposed wife Kaswadi
Both of Kaswadi's children came and sat on his father's lap, they were both always waiting for his father to come home. After the hand salim then they chatted the usual thing between the child and the parents.
After that the two children Kaswadi breakfast, after breakfast they pucul dolan to his neighbor again.
“Bury now sir, hunt Trimo come you know, later if Trimo comes even bakalketauan he pak”

“Asalamualaikum mbak ….Massss.” shouted Trimo from outside
“Waalaikum salama, dik Trimo , let's monggo in Trimo, wah kok cepetmen come anyway dik”
“Nganu mas, because all friends want to survey vehicles around here mas, so I all stop by the house, but ndak can long time mas, mas, about it is not good with my friend who is waiting in that car” said Trimo while pointing outside
“This is what to mas, eeh mas Kaswadi has been given old replica money yes mas, but lumyan you know, my friend wants to buy 100 thousand je” kok said Trimo
“Replica kui what artine dik Trimo?”
“Replica it means a fake or fake that is very similar to the original mas”
“Hehehe nek eg money is real, kancamu wani piro deck Trimo?” asked Kaswadi with a smile
“if the original temenku ndak dare mas, but yes there is a special collector of ancient money, but yes mosok iyo money that is the same mas this original”tanya Trimo ndak believe
Kaswadi took the money he had put behind a tablecloth, a 1000-gulden note of the original puppet!
“Be careful both Trimo deck, which you hold is the original, not a clone or made today, I am given the same Dutchman whose home would be dismantled for the resort” project
Trimo pay close attention to the money he holds, occasionally he looks at the internet to find out the authenticity of the paper money in his hands. A moment later he put the money on the table.
“M..maas if you look at its characteristics.., it's u..real money, I don't dare to hold a mas, it's h... The price can be up to half a billion mas” said Trimo stammering.
