The man went to the house of one of his relatives. Take the train to get there. Carrying his belongings in a suitcase. The whole treasure is there.
Leave the cardboard paper that has been folded neatly. Used as a bed for sleeping.
He has cleaned his body. And wearing his best clothes. Already shaved his jamb very neat and clean. Appear climatic.
Not wanting to make his family worry about his situation. He will ask for or borrow some money.
He walked over to a house that looked neat as well as clean. The sound of a child was heard coming out of the house.
Picking bell. A woman he knew smiled at him.
“Where have you been, brother? Login.”
“Custom. Business travel.” He walked into his sister's house.
His two nephews ran towards him. Hugged him.
“Shop here.” His sister said a cup of cappuccino. Pouring a plate of chocolate chip cookies.
“My time is not much. I want to meet your husband. Borrow some money.”
“He's new at home at seven o'clock. It's five o'clock in the afternoon.”
“It's okay. I'll wait for him.”
“We had dinner together huh? Where the hell have you been? Adelia's sister will be feeling her son's birthday this weekend. You come and stay?”
“Who's birthday? Marilyn or James?”
“Marilyn. You don't remember your nephew's birthday. Don't bring anything. We await your presence. You stay at Adelia's.”
“Good. Who knows he can lend me money.”
“You're fine right?”
“Good. It's just that I need money for additional capital.”
“I'll cook your favorite food.” His sister's face looked clouded.
“You why?”
“It's okay.”
His sister walked into the kitchen. He wiped away the tears that were dripping down.
Cooking her sister's favorite food. Meat pie.
He decided to play with his two nephews. Letting go of his longing to the two of them.
They had dinner together after his sister-in-law got home. Self-cleaning. He then joined his brother-in-law, his children and his wife.
At the table there was food. Her sister-in-law's favorite meat pie. Beef stew's favorite. Nuggets are her children's favorite. A plate of sausage is fried using butter. A very soft and fragrant mash potatoes. Publish taste.
They talk while enjoying their dinner like family.
“You now live where kak?”Ask his sister-in-law.
“Nomaden. I'm movin. My business is not good.”
His sister-in-law nodded her head. Understanding the intention of his brother-in-law's arrival.
“I invited him to Marilyn's birthday. Brother Adelia asked me to say yes to you. But I can't reach you. You haven't been in your flat since a year ago. According to the flat owner. He doesn't know where you are either. Your phone also cannot be contacted.” Jelita's words.
“Yeah. I am now a nomad. Alright I'm going to Adelia's house this weekend.”
“Seek at his house.”
“Good.”
They continued their dinner. While chatting.
“You'd better stay. The day is getting late.”
“Good. But you were at Adelia's house?”
“Yeah. I'll come and stay there.”
The next day he said goodbye to Jelita and her sister-in-law. Storing an envelope containing money he had borrowed from his sister-in-law.
Walk towards the station back where it is at the moment. Resurfacing the neatly folded cardboard. Put the suitcase next to the cardboard.
Opening the paper bag that his sister gave him. Checking contents. The rest of the meat pie made for him yesterday. A couple of sandwiches he ate this morning. A box of plastic chocolate cookies. Medium size one pan aluminum macaroni schootel. One box of orange juice and one box of milk.
At least for today he didn't have to buy food. His nephew's birthday is still three days away. He will take advantage of the time to find a job so as not to make him run out of money.
For the next three days he got a job taking care of an old woman's garden. Give him in return for food and drinks. And some money.
The food that the old lady made was delicious as well. For the next three days. He didn't have to worry about food and money.
On Saturday, he cleaned himself up. Wearing his best clothes and shaving his face clean.
It was a happy day because he would be with his whole family. His two younger sisters and nephews were also his sisters-in-law.
He stayed at his sister's house, Adelia. Birthdays are attended by the whole family. The neighbors were also friends of his nephews.
The candle is lit and blown. Birthday cakes are distributed to all who attend.
They all enjoyed the dishes. Fried chicken, nuggets, french fries, smash potatoes, sausages, lasagna, meat pie are also chocolate pudding.
Adelia also provides ice cream and cookies. Chocolate is also candy. Colorful balloons are installed here and there.
Kids playing around the house. Adults gather and talk.
Some games are held to entertain the children present. There was the sound of chattering and boisterous laughter in their space.
Event's over. Jelita, her children and husband stayed at Adelia's house. They share stories and memories from the past.
They fell asleep in front of the family room. While all her nieces slept in their rooms while Adelia's husband slept in her room while Jelita's husband slept in the guest room.
The next day, early morning. After they all cleaned up. Breakfast together. A gloomy face crept across the faces of his two younger sisters.
“You two why?”
“Nothing. Only moved because we can all get together.” Jelita shed her tears.
“Yeah.” Adelia with a loud voice.
“Do not get too carried away by such emotions. It's a happy moment. Don't be sad.”
Both nodded their heads. They spend time with the whole family after breakfast.
At exactly half-time two in the afternoon. After they finished lunch and chat.
The plainclothes policeman went inside the house arresting and subduing him.
“What is this?” Hysterical shouting.
“Im sorry our sister. Cops lookingfor you. They say you killed your girlfriend while pregnant. They asked us to work together to arrest you. Check with you if you're the father of the baby the woman was carrying. You should also be checked in relation to the case. They said someone reported the incident to them over the phone. That possibility is you.”
“Why are you doing this to me?”
“Im sorry, sister. If you're innocent they'll let you go. You don't have to be afraid if you don't do it.”
“I don't believe this. I thought you guys were my family.”
“We'll be with you, brother. If you are innocent. We'll try to free you. Right now you have to face the investigation and trial process first to check whether you are guilty or not.”
“You remain silent..” The police handcuffed him and informed him of the charges brought against him as well as his rights as a suspect.
