OUR EARTH
CHAPTER 32 "Bank Trash Enabled Citizens Protests"

Next day. We all went back down to the Ciliwung River to continue cleaning up the trash. When we came there were dozens of trucks ready to transport all the garbage. Likewise with us who started cleaning yesterday.

"Thank God the wingi ra (yesterday) flood," said I relieved.

"Iya Lam whereas udan gede (big rain)," said the Budi.

"Thank God, that means" said the Frank.

"Yes must be because of the garbage wis to carry half wingi (yes of course because the garbage has already been to half transport)," said the Budi.

"Yes Bud dadi aman kang (from) flood 'tuk while kiye (this)," said I.

"Heh Lam kowe wis speaking durung men bang Kris tenteng your idea (heh Lam you have not talked to Bang Kris about your idea)," said the Budi reminded.

"What idea is Bud I don't know?" sela asked Sinta.

"That idea." Point to the location of the garbage bank.

"Junk bank? What are you going to raise up to, Lam?" ask Sinta to me.

"Yes Sin men (wild) residents here can exchange garbage and not pollute the river anymore" I'm sure.

"Good idea Lam should have Bang Kris accept yes" Sinta praised me

"Aamiin. ya have been to bang kris first yes," said my.

"Ok Lam," they replied.

I then went to meet Bang Kris who was picking up trash in another area. I ventured to express my proposal to her. I hope that Chris can help.

"That can speak for a moment" call me from behind.

Bang Kris looked over and stopped his activities. "Yes Lam, what's wrong?" tanyakanya.

"Gini Bang, I know there's a garbage bank here, but unfortunately it's not kepake," I said.

"Or I Lam that the Garbage Bank has stopped from last year," he said.

"Actually I have a proposal that we revive the garbage bank in order to operate again how," I clearly began to express my idea.

"Good idea Lam, but are the villagers supportive?" praise Bang Kris but look doubtful.

"Hem that's the problem of the citizens here seems to be difficult to compromise," I replied.

"Yes brother can see it, try to brother to the local government here first ask permission to run it back," he proposed.

"It's okay Bang. Thank you," I said while looking down.

Bang Kris went to the government office of Ciliwung village and turned his work to me. Bang Kris of course did not go there alone there must be Mba Lili who accompanied him. Bang Kris and Mba Lili are always together and it would be nice if they could be together.

While Geng Badrol after his return from Ciliwung yesterday. It turns out he is not kapok and instead wants to visit again to Ciliwung and definitely his goal to prank us. Badrol's men don't even understand the way his boss thinks. The word does not like garbage but want to go there again strange is not it.

"Our boss to Ciliwung again?" ask Made in disbelief.

"Yes yesterday we failed to disturb nature and her friends because of the rain" he replied.

"Hayya I don't want to let me not come I want to go back," Ling-Ling refused.

"Yes there," Badrul turned to him.

"Hayya Boss, I don't want to leave my own brother, you just go" Lang-Lang said and went after his sister.

"Yes the three of us are ok Mu, De," Badrul said as he looked at the remaining two friends.

"Our antenna...." Domu looked confused to say it.

"What's? You also want to resign," guess what made Domu and Made gulp his saliva.

"Bu-not that boss but..," replied Made stuttering and then cut off again in the middle.

"But what? Anyway you two should come along," Badrul cut firmly.

"Hufh well alright Boss," replied the two of them forcedly.

Domu and Made were actually reluctant to leave as well. But because they were both afraid of Badrol and were eventually forced to nod in agreement. The three of them then got into the car and went to Ciliwung again.

Our work draining the trash in the river is done. Rows of garbage trucks also one by one leave the village of Ciliwung.

"Alhamdulillah completed (completed) as well," I said relieved because finally everything was in order. The river looks better than ever.

"Eh Lam Bang Kris karo (same) Mba Lili durung (yet) back what?" ask Clara to me.

"Urung kayane, hayu wait ning place Bank garbage wae (yet it seems, let's just wait at the place of the Trash Bank)," I said invite others to wait there.

"Hayu mumpung Mba Lili karo (sama) Bang Kris has not come home we first settle the place," said Sinta agreed.

The five of us went to the garbage bank. This dumpster bank looks a bit dirty, so therefore the five of us intend to clean it first while waiting for our two senior Kaka back. While we were cleaning suddenly came a group of mothers who rebuked us. They were angry because they saw the signboard open on the door of the garbage bank.

"Saha nu wani face bank trash ieu, geus meunang idin ti parentah village in dieu? (who would you dare to open this garbage bank, have you received permission from the village government here?)" Angry one citizen followed by another. They all came like they were going to protest.

"Waduh they talk opo anyway lam I ra mudeng (waduh they talk what Lam I don't understand)," said Budi shocked to hear his language.

"On Bud but sing genah kayane they are still meng dawe (sama Bud, but obviously they seem to be angry with us)," I guessed.

"Punten Bu samentawis simkuring still notosan permit ti parentah pikeun ngaoperasikeun garbage bank ieu. Di dieu urang nungguan lanceuk senior urang back ti dinya (punten pak bu for a while we are still waiting for a permit from the government to operate this garbage bank. This is us waiting for our senior kaka to come home from there)," explained Sinta who apparently spoke their language. Sinta can speak Sundanese because the area where she lives also often uses Sundanese.

The long-awaited ones finally came as well. Bang Kris and Mba Lili came along with someone who was dressed neatly and it seemed like it was the Chief of this Village Government.

"Stop stop eureun, noisily, hayu oruh ngajelaskeun (stop no fuss let you explain yes)," tell kades sir to his citizens.

"These are volunteer students from Banyumas, they all have a good purpose to advance our village and reduce our habit of throwing garbage into Ciliwung." Then Mr. Kades explained to his people about our goal.

"We don't agree sir, it's our custom and it will always be, '" said one of its citizens.

"It's totally free" said another resident.

"Fathers Mothers are not we do not want our village to be hit by flood again. With the re-operation of the garbage bank we can at least calm down if there is rain falling and not worry about the presence of flooding again."

"In addition, we can also be free from the lack of clean water and avoid skin diseases and malaria. Do you guys want to keep waiting in line and waiting for a clean water truck.no?" obviously Mr. Kades at length trying to convince the citizens.

"We disagree anyway, mending we just disperse and remember no one comes to deposit his trash here!" the command of Mothers with negligence places special emphasis on other citizens. All the citizens agreed to keep refusing and chose to leave in annoyance. It turns out that the explanation of Mr. Kades is not in the gubris at all by its citizens.

Coinciding with the demo, Badrol, Domu and Made witnessed it. Out of curiosity Badrol intercepted one of the Mothers and asked about what was going on.

"What's wrong, Mom?" tanyakanya.

"Hold on Mom, what do you mean?" intercepted while asking.

"We ran out of the demo about instead of the garbage bank coming back," he replied.

"Oh yes." Badrul immediately smiled as he held his chin after hearing the news. While the mother just looked at Badrul with a look of surprise for a while then went to continue her steps.

...🌵🌵🌵🌵🌵🌵...

Back to my position and my friends. The garbage bank is now ready to operate. We all waited until noon but there were no residents who came to deposit the garbage. Suddenly the Budi saw a Mother who was carrying two bags of crackle filled with garbage approaching us. We were all happy that someone finally came. A radiant face was already visible to us because we were so happy. But what happened was that the mothers did not approach us but turned towards the river. She threw her trash down.

"Is it wrong?" thought Budi wonder.

"You dumped the trash here" cried Frank to tell.

"Geeh." The mother looked at us and looked at us with a cynical look. After that he threw his face away violently and walked back home.

"Lah wkwk," I said as I raised my eyebrows because it felt in a lie. I laughed at once too.

Not only myself, they all laughed and hit each other.

"Yes Allah atiku wis seneng tengan ora sida (yes Allah my heart is happy it turns out that eh turned out not to be)," I chanted while wiping my tears that suddenly came out of tears.

"Iya Lam is the base of wong wong kuwe (those people)," said Budi while shaking.

"Ha-ha-ha is a fool." The Badrul and his two friends suddenly came to the scene.

We who saw his arrival were shocked. "Badrul...? Why ko ning kene (why are you here)? Melu connect connect wae rich cable pedot (follow just connect rich cable break)," asked Budi while insinuating.

"Like me" he replied casually.

"Basic Titled boy ra genah (children not clear)," chirped the Frank.

"Kasian 'nobody comes along anyway and thinks there's something easy why find the hard, no one, obviously the people here refuse to throw garbage into the river easier than having to milah milah first what it is and bring to what is called a garbage bank, it must be complicated," ledek si Badrul long.

"Pending back there you Drul if there is no business here we're not going to make a fuss with you," I kicked him out.

"Excuse me Mas step aside," someone suddenly came and deliberately hit Domu who was on the edge of the garbage pile. Domu who lack balance finally chose to hold on to Badrul's clothes. Badrul who felt himself being pulled finally also held onto Made who was beside him. Because both could not maintain the balance of the three of them finally fell into the pile of garbage earlier.

"Boss Boss I'm going to fall this." Domu quickly grabbed Badrul's sleeves to keep him from falling.

"Become.... Prick." But it turns out they fell together into a pile of trash. Seeing all this, we couldn't help but laugh. The Frank immediately laughed loudly until he was excited to see the Badrul gang in pain

"Ha-ha-ha rasain," she cried.

"Hush don't laugh at the suffering of others wahaha," tell Budi to laugh as well.

"Eh stop stop don't be mated," I ordered.

"This one I got trash I deposited here, right?" A man approached us and asked me.

"Eh Father yesterday" I said in shock in disbelief. "Yes sir, deposit here," I replied as I directed him to the dumpster. There are Mba Lili and Bang Kris who are in charge of handling deposits.

"Alhamdulillah finally someone came," said the happy Clara

"Yee..," the Sinta then took her tos along.

Not knowing the situation of the Badrul with his two friends, know they were no longer in place when I asked the Budi. Maybe they were embarrassed and just left.

And sure enough now Badrul's gang has walked towards the car very upset while grumbling along the way. "Aish beware yes lam has made me so this way," his grunts while throwing one by one until small attached to his hair and body.

"Hii.... Boss stinks," led Domu while dodging.

"You know too" he said.

"Ha-ha-ha Boss and Domu stink," Made poked with a hint.

"Eh Made you also do not know if your body also smells," said the Domu.

"Huwe." The Made then kissed his own body. Instantly he immediately grinned the horse, "we all stink haha," he said with a laugh.

"Any," ledek Badrul, "come back I want to take a bath 7 so let's say all the smell," he asked and walked first.

"I'm with the Boss" cried Domu who left Made behind.

"Wait for me dong." Made ran after him.

...🪻🪻🪻🪻🪻🪻...

Because of one Father who deposited one bag of garbage.now many have tried to follow deposit the garbage as well. Mr. Leman was his name, the one who could finally lure some citizens to follow his actions. Mr. Leman had told some other residents if he made 100,000 from the results of depositing his trash. The residents who heard it became interested and began to flock to the Garbage Bank.

"Mas what banar deposit garbage can get money?" ask the mothers enthusiastically.

"Yes Mom if you want to deposit your mother's trash like used bottles, used buckets, or electronic devices that have been wasted can also be deposited here" Bang Kris explained.

"The items had a selling point because they can be processed later into various other useful objects" continued Mba Lili.

"That sounds interesting" said the mother with sparkling eyes. "Alright I seem to have some plastic bottle trash at home I want to bring it here, beware ya." The mother quickly went home to pick up her trash and told us to wait.

"Okay ma'am we will wait," said Mba Lili as she closed her palm.

"The father turned out to lure everyone to come here, yes" said Bang Kris while looking at Mba Lili.

"Yes Kris, Father is very good," he replied with praise.

"Wah akehe (many) when it was quiet nyinyit (banget)," chirped me while coming out of the room. I was quite surprised to see many residents who had lined up in front of the Garbage Bank while carrying their respective garbage.

"Alhamdulillah deh residents already aware," said the Sinta relieved.

"Udah healed them from the devil's garbage patch," said the Budi with a joke.

"Haha ana-ana wae kowe Bud," said Sinta laughing as she shook her head.

"Don't joke, let's help nature and the others" Bang Kris told them to stop.

"Well bang," they said and went to help me and the others.

One or two residents began to arrive until we were overwhelmed to handle it. They were very happy after they finished depositing the trash. There are even Mothers who earn money of more than 500 thousand and show off the results to others. Surely they will be envious to see it and because they do not want to lose, they return to bring other garbage that is greater in value.

Problem solved temporarily. Hopefully in the future it will continue to be so. Residents no longer throw their garbage into the river and learn to sort the garbage first. Factory factory around hopefully also do not throw waste carelessly again without processed first. If the earth is clean nature will be healthier of course. Always take care of our Earth, my friend.

Seriate......🌻🌻🌻
