The Neglected Pearl
Part 8 gets punished

With a smile, Ranita knot rushed towards the campus, inside the campus friends and others coolly looked at Ranita with a spotlight full of ridicule. But Ranita, looks calm and mediocre.

“What's up ? why do your eyes look like that?” asked Ranita wonder.

“You It's weird Yes Nit, aren't you ashamed in the crowd”

“Why be ashamed, he's human I'm human too.”

“But our caste is different Nita?”

“Casta ? what caste is Fera ?”

“Do you not know, between the poor and the rich, there is a caste that has separated.”

“You can talk like that Fera, but I do not, between the rich and the poor, for me there is no separation, because by God's side, not the treasure to which it compares.”

“Alah, you're so naive, Nit.”

“Hm, you talk as if, you're richer than me Fer.”

“Revelation isn't it ? that among the poor and rich, must always be a distance, and that you can not deny Nit.”

“Bomber you Fer.” Ranita replied as she passed leaving Fera alone.

“Low base !” shouted Fera with a loud voice.

Ranita who heard Fera yelling at him, turned around, and pulled Fera's hair.

“Once you say I'm lowly, I'll keep your mouth locked for good.”

Hearing the threat from Ranita, Fera kept quiet, because Fera was indeed afraid of Ranita, because Ranita always spoke as she was.

At school Ranita gets blasphemy from his friends, while at home, his family awaits with uncertain feelings.

When Ranita's parents found out that her daughter had been posted on the front page of the newspaper, her heart felt so hot. Pain that has no cure but anger that must be poured out to his daughter.

When Ranita came home, Papa and Mama immediately greeted Ranita with slurs and overflowing anger.

“What is this Nit ? explain to Mama now !” mama Ranita said as she threw the newspaper in front of Ranita.

Ranita didn't budge, she just kept quiet. The sound of anger coming out of his parents' mouths was not in the air at all.

“Why silence ? are you mute now !”

snapped Mama.

“Where were you last night baby ? answer your Mama's questions, don't just shut up !”

“ Should not rich people associate with poor people ? are they not the same as us, only their position is different. Or maybe it's because they're poor that rich people shouldn't get along with them?” randy asked himself.

But those words could not be thrown Ranita in front of his parents. When Papa and Mama stopped nagging Ranita went straight into her room, at her key the door of the room from inside and she fell asleep.

Not long after Bi Inah's maid Ranita came knocking on the door while bringing food, Ranita got up and opened the door, food was taken from Bi Inah's hands and the room door was again locked from the inside.

Shortly after, Mama Ranita came to the room of her only daughter.

“remember yes Ranita, for one week Mama does not let you out of the house, Mama will punish you !” Mama Ranita from outside the room.

Hearing the threat from her Mama, Ranita was silent, she was just humming a little hum alone.

“Remember ! don't take a penny ! if caught later Mama will add her sentence to two weeks !”

Ranita didn't say a word, she just listened to it from inside her room. One day the punishment was lived, his mind was hit, from the magnificent mansion Ranita could only look from above.

Many times Ranita tried to look from above, so many reporters were going back and forth in front of her house. Everyone wanted the important news out of Ranita's mouth.

Ranita became amused, eager to greet the reporters, and reveal to them who exactly is the person he had met so often. But he was helpless, because he was confined in his own luxurious house.

Now two days had passed, from outside the room Ranita heard the voice of his mother, talking to Bi Inah.

“Not yet !” replied Bi Inah while bowing her body.

“Ya already Bi, the most important thing he wants to eat right ?”

“Still new.”

Mama Ranita also passed away from her daughter's room, again the atmosphere felt lonely, longing began to envelop the soul of Ranita, a spoiled girl who had been free to roam as she pleased, as she pleased, now it has to be checked just because he hangs out with the poor.

A week after the ban was completed, Ranita instead reduced his activities to come to the Slums, but he did it more often than usual.

Seeing that, Mang Ojo is increasingly unwell with Ranita's family, softly Mang Ojo suggested to Ranita for a while not to come first to the Slums.

Mang Ojo's orders were immediately heard by Ranita, he tried to refrain from approaching the Slums again.

A few years later Mang Ojo and fatma, at that time very happy, because his eldest son named Alhuda has been accepted into college.

The greatest taste of breadfruit expressed by Mang Ojo by giving as happy as the results of his savings to the poor and homeless children.

That morning as usual Mang Ojo, selling boiled beans in the roundabout of Jakarta, upon arrival at the location where he used to go, Mang Ojo saw so many people who were present at the roundabout.

Lucky step for Mang Ojo, the boiled beans sold out at that time. But he did not come home soon, because there is still something to be heard and seen from the events that will take place.

Not long standing and walking around the people present, Mang Ojo met the young man who had saved him from the brawl of the students that day.

“Hai Den !” greet Mang Ojo slowly, afraid just in case he got the wrong person.

“Hai !” answer the young man.

“Still remember me Den ?” asked Mang Ojo to the young man.

“Ya I remember, Mr who that day ran away with me right?”

“True Den !”

“If not wrong, at that time I was told to call Mamang, right ?”

“Ya, exactly once Den !”

“Waaah, it turns out Mamang is still selling peanuts too huh ?”

“Yeah ! This is how Den, his name is just living, as long as halal Den !”

“Good it's Mang, life is not hard made !”

“Iya Den, while not made difficult only Mamang also had a hard life really!”

“Hahaha !”they laugh together.

“It seems like a long time Mamang did not see Aden, where was it ?”

“Again Mang's lecture !”

“O good it, by the way what is Den ? how on rame ?”

“That Mang there is a demo, people demand a hike BBM.”

“What's wrong with our BBM?”

“A week ago, BBM we went up again Mang.”

“Kok Aden know, if our BBM rises ?”

“Kan broadcast on television Mang.”

“Ooo, that's it ! Understandably Mamang does not have a TV so do not know the information !”
