SANTRI MBELING
PANJI MEETS USTADZAH AISAH AND USTADZ BAKRI


After a warm bath and dawn prayer Panji sat leaning on the chair. Opening the Panji window said,


"Rully... If you want to sleep... Sleep in bed, I want to enjoy the morning air."


"I have not drowned Mas Panji," said Ruli then sat in a chair next to a small table.


"On the table there is money, take 1.5 million as your payment" Panji said then lit a cigarette,


"Take the money yourself."


"I take only 500 thousand, for transportation as well as for the needs of my family," said Ruli,


"The rest I take after my boking contract is over."


"How old are you, who already has children" asked Panji


"My age is 18" said Ruli,


"I got pregnant out of wedlock when I was in 1st grade High School.


My boyfriend doesn't want to take responsibility. Because I need a fee for my son... I'm forced to work as a comfort woman."


"That's it," Panji muttered then called the kitchen and ordered Black coffee and warm milk.


"I mean I'm your sister, I'm 16 now" Panji said


"Your age is 16, but your mind is mature" said Ruli,


"It seems you are from a distinguished family, also from a good family - well. You know what...? Your name is often discussed around this area of the Lodge. That's because you often share - for money the same poor people, often help the hard people. That's a sign your mind is mature."


Tok tock...!


When the door opens,


"Good morning Non, this is Panji's mas order."


"Termakasih... Oh yes, Mas Panji said the room does not need to be cleaned, Mas Panji also said no need to deliver breakfast," said Ruli.


"All right, Non, good morning" said the waiter.


"This is the coffee pot" said Ruli, putting a small plug on the table,


"The money's not in the closet."


"Don't call me Mas, call me Panji, you're older."


"What, I call you... Let it look messrah," said Ruli who began to be familiar with Panji,


"So drink this milk... I'm going home, huh Mas."


"Yes Ruli" said Panji,


"You took the money yourself."


"Alright," said Ruli then counting the money that was on the table.


"Hmmm... A lot of money this Panji boss, 1.8 million. The one in the brown envelope is very thick, not yet opened, and the contents are yes" Ruli murmured in her heart,


"Where does this Panji boss have so much money?"


"Mas... Ruli pamit go home first, later Ruli back to the inn."


"Yes Ruli please," Panji said.


After Ruli left... Panji laid his body on the bed, then fell asleep.


At 1 pm Panji woke up. After showering and changing clothes... Banner out of the room and then walk to the crossroads ojek base.


"Boss Panji, would you like to find kang Mumun?" ask the other taxi driver


"Yes kang" said Panji.


"That's Mumun kang again in the shop, coffee while playing chess."


"Thank you kang," said Panji then came to kang Mumun.


"Kang Mumun," cried Panji.


"eek... Boss Panji," said Kang Mumun then stood up to stop playing chess.


"Kangs... Coffee one yes," pinta kang Mumun to the shop keeper,


"Where are the Banner Boss going this afternoon?"


"Panji wants to talk to Mumun.


Let's sit in Kang's corner, kind of quiet."


After moving the seat, Panji asked,


"Kangs... You are not familiar with Ruli...? A girl who likes to hang out next to nighttime inns?"


"Ooh.. Yes, yes boss! You know, but do not know him," said Kang Mumun,


"What's the boss...? The boss wants to boking him now...?"


"No kang, I'd like to ask. Kang Mumun knows his life history," asked Panji.


"Don't know exactly, just know a little," said Kang Mumun then sipped coffee.


"Try telling me kang," Panji said


"After me... His house is 5 kilos from here, he's two brothers, brother - his brother works in Jakarta. Ruli lives with her Mom and Grandma, she also has one boss child, is still a baby, about 10 months old," Kang Mumun told the story,


"His father said he was dead. I once passed in front of the boss' house, at that time I sent passengers who happened to be one village with Ruli.


Sorry, boss... Ruli's house is very small, her house is a bamboo cubicle. Said my passenger at the time... He said, Ruli is a poor family and Ruli status in her village is very bad, because she works as a prostitute. Looks like he's in my excommunication boss... That's the only boss I know."


"This is 20 thousand dollars, Kang Mumun make sure how Ruli is, kang Mumun went to his village looking for accurate information," Panji said.


"Alright boss, now we're leaving."


After kang Mumun left... The pennant back to the inn.


When we got to the Lodging page... Panji heard Ruli's voice,


"Mas Panji's... Where the hell have you been? I waited for you almost 1 hour."


"Yes, sorry, I was under the key" Panji said,


After lunch at the inn... The pennant says,


"Rully... Ayoo we play to Serang city, you will memorize the streets."


"All right, Mommy."


***


After disembarking from public transportation, Ruli held Panji's arm and took the road to the store.


When on the sidewalk in front of the store... The pennant stopped his footsteps behind the tree on the sidewalk.



"Isn't that Aisah's library...? What is he doing sitting alone in a cafe?!! It seems... Aisah waiting for someone? Let me wait a while," Panji muttered and then lit a marlboro cigarette.


"Mas Panji's... Ayoos... Why stop here?" ruli.


"Be quiet, take a moment" Panji said as he watched Ustadzah Aisah.


Shortly afterwards came a young man with a hat slightly pressed down. The banner saw Ustadzah kissing the man's hand.


"Hmmm... Isn't that Ustadz Bakri lurah Meteor Garden boarding school?!! Ooh yes, yes, understand me now, it turns out that Ustadz Bakrie and Ustadzah Aisah are in a romantic relationship... They're dating.


You hypocrite! They accused me of dating Bela, and reported to Pak Kyai, until I was subtly evicted. Though... Until now I have not dated Bela, just a friend


Somewhile... A bastard is nobler than a Ustadz Religionist


And sometimes... A prostitute is nobler than one who dresses in a headscarf with a Muslim woman.


Hmmm... Everything is his secret."


"Ruli.." cried Panji slowly.


"What's up, Mommy" replied Ruli.


"Let's see, the girl in the white headscarf and the guy in the black hat on the cafe's side table?" Panji.


"Look, why?" sahut Ruli's.


"You approach the man, then you hug from behind and you kiss his cheek" Panji said with a smile,


"You told the girl that you're the guy's fiance.... Then get mad at the veiled chick, tell her she's the other guy's fiancee."


"You've gone mad, my mother" said Ruli,


"Ngapain takes care of the affairs of courtship people...? There is no other kingdom!!"


"With our boking agreement, you must obey my orders" Panji said.


"Alright, alright," said Ruli annoyed but helpless because of the contract bound boking agreement.


Ruli also crossed the road to the cafe, then approached the table located on the edge.


And relax... Ruli hugged Ustadz Bakri and kissed him on the cheek.


There was a beautiful girl who hugged and kissed him from behind... Ustadz Bakri was very shocked, as well as Ustadzah Aisah was more surprised.


Ustadz Bakri and Ustadzah Aisah have not been able to speak... Suddenly Ruli snapped.


"Basarly a cheap woman! Fiancee of people.


Don't know how embarrassed...? Wear a Muslim hijab but cheap! I'm her fiance never been invited to a cafe... You whore!


You are too!! Men don't know how to profit! Already have a beautiful wife-to-be fiancee like I'm still looking for another woman? We just break up" said Ruli then left the cafe, then went across the street.


"Already boss Panji, ayoo we walk," said Ruli then clutching Panji's arm.


Panji had seen Ustadzah Aisah and Ustadz Bakri quarrelling in the cafe, then Ustadzah Aisah went by crying leaving Ustadz Bakri alone.


With a smile Panji walked along the sidewalk in front of Serang city shops.


Who are they!! And why did Mas Panji do evil to them by telling me to ruin their fun?" ask Ruli.


"He's the bad guy Ruli... Because they were both I was indirectly expelled from the boarding school where I studied," replied Panji,


"Those who slander me... They deserve punishment from you."


"If you knew that story... I slapped both of them in the face earlier today" said Ruli.


"Oh yes... You are so brave, right? It's good for your acting too" Panji said.


"I'm used to living in the streets of Mas, just for a bite of rice I'm brave" said Ruli,


"If afraid... Yes, don't eat! Oh yea... Mas Panji want to see the cinema or want karaoke or what?"


"I want to go to the Mall, want to buy clothes for your child," Panji said.


"What...! Buy my son's shirt?!!" ruli was surprised.


"Yes... Why, can't!!" Panji.


"May, may," said Ruli wonder,


"That's a shop for clothes and supplies for children."


After buying baby clothes and equipment... Panji and Ruli left. Soon they entered the Ramayana Department. After buying some women's clothes and supplies... Panji and Ruli also walked along the sidewalk to the stop to look for public transportation.


"Sit down Mas, capaik ya under the groceries," said Ruli.


"Yes capaik, but it's okay - what Ruli, this rest in the inn," said Panji then sat on the bench stop while looking at the beggar half-old.


"Mas... Give the money, make a meal," asked a beggar while raising his right hand.


"Father sit down first" said Ruli then holding the old beggar's arm, and then lead to sit next to Panji,


"So sir, I bought a bottle of tea and a packet of rice at the stall next door."


"This is the money," Panji said as he offered a 10-thousand note,


"Buy the rice field, that's the stall.


side dishes added yes... All aqua water and tea bottles."


"Each Boss...!"
