The Obsession of Lady Escort
Ole 11 Paying Debt

Shanti put the red packet into a safe deposit box. The package contained five keroncong bracelets given by her husband as their wedding gift. Shanti chose a safe deposit box as a place to store her valuables. A diploma, important document, or foreign money he keeps in it.

The tendency to choose a safe deposit box is more on the security factor, especially Shanti does not have a permanent residence. After all, the big size bracelet will never be the choice of jewelry worn by Shanti in the near future.

Shanti takes a brown envelope filled with foreign currency. Only the dollar and euro will be exchanged this time. Although there are still other types of foreign currencies, but only a few sheets. Much of that money Shanti gets from business clients as a bonus. Especially from clients who have business or products abroad.

After making sure the safe deposit box following the storage drawer has been locked perfectly, Shanti comes out of the storage room. Then he gave a drawer key to a guard. The other officers checked and made sure the storage room was safe. After the checkup is complete, Shanti is asked to fill out a proof-of-visit form.

Shanti submitted the files she had filled in to customer service. Form bank notes type and amount of foreign exchange to be exchanged. Here are his credit card payment instructions. 

Everything was smooth, there was hardly any queue. The impact of the pandemic makes customers prefer online transactions over face-to-face transactions. It must be admitted that the online services of banks are very rapidly developing and without many obstacles.

"Is there anything else I can do to help Shanti's mother?" ask customer service after Shanti's file has been submitted to the operational section.

"There is no mbak. How long will it take?" ask Shanti.

"Not long, Miss Shanti. I asked the treasury, everything was okay. I can wait until I get called by our teller officer. Anything else I can help Shanti's mother?" ask customer service further.

"Nothing, thank you," Shanti said as she stood up.

It was seen that customer service accompanied Shanti to stand up. He placed two palms in front of his chest. Then say hello to Shanti, his smile grew wider sign that one task he had completed.

Shanti walked towards the waiting chair in front of the teller counter. However, Shanti has not been able to sit down, but has been invited to take the queue given by security officers. Sure enough without waiting long for a new number he can have called a queuing machine.

Shanti is relieved to have paid the principal of her credit card debt. Free from next month's interest expense. Lately, it must be admitted that the use of Shanti credit cards is indeed very large. Starting from the cost of wedding preparation, dinner costs, buying furniture and other necessities. Shanti holds the principle of prudence in managing finances. Shanti was very far from the great principle of the stake from the pole. 

Shanti walked towards the apartment where her old residence was. It's not close. It took me 15 minutes to get there. However, when compared to taking public transportation, walking is more practical. Besides, Shanti is used to walking through JPO and small streets in the area.

Shanti to buy the complete ingredients of fresh market rendang cuisine that she passed. Yes, today he will cook rendang for his friends. In addition to fulfilling the promise, also as an expression of gratitude for the willingness to be a committee at his wedding. 

But Shanti's mission is actually to ask Widi for help related to financial constraints. Shanti is hesitant about being able to settle a home payment if she only relies on income as a lady escort. Also the opinion about the Mus Typhoon changed drastically. Shanti wants to get a view or a clue related to the change in attitude of Typhoon Mus. Is related to the husband-wife relationship, which until now Mus Typhoon has not got a desire for him. Or money without permission Mus Typhoon Shanti used for other purposes.

The elevator door in front of the foyer opens. Shanti entered the apartment very easily. Because he holds an access card. Usually access cards are given by the manager of the building according to the number of rooms. Their apartment consists of three rooms with an area of 195 square meters.

"Well, this is the one who's gone, '" said Wynne lightly to Shanti. "What's new neh nganten?"

"Bring me a promise Wyn. Want to cook rendang as requested by Kak Widi," replied Shanti. "Where, how quiet. Is Kak Widi again at the workshop?"

"Hore … !" shouted Widi with a contrived tone. "Regular to get out. He said he wanted to go to the client's place directly to the warehouse."

"Wyn, can you help me cook and learn?" ask Shanti.

"Ready, 86 ndan," replied Wynne.

Wynne has twice helped Shanti in processing rendang. This time Shanti makes a modern rendang, but still has an original taste. The cooking seasoning obtained from his aunt made the original taste still attached. So rendang Shanti is very liked by his friends. 

When the cooking process took place twice Shant's phone rang. Signs that two new messages are coming in. Shanti unlocks the screen of her phone. And sure enough, according to Shanti's guess. The message was from Siti Rukayah the first wife of Mus Typhoon. 

"Wyn, rendang just keep stirring slowly yes with a small fire. I want to finish off the witch!" shanti said as she pressed the dial tone on her phone.

"Okay, but no, yes" replied Wynne

Shanti nicknamed Siti Rukayah as a witch. Shanti is inspired by her dream, where Siti Rukayah threatens herself by using a broomstick. Shanti always smiled to herself when she remembered the dream. 

The connecting tone is heard. Shanti immediately walked towards her old bedroom. In the hope that his chatter could not be heard by Wynne. Simultaneously Shanti arrived at her old room, Siti Rukayah's voice greeted.

"Hello ..," said Siti Rukayah

Shanti heard the voice trembling slightly, and Shanti replied, "how about you?"

"Newly know the taste! How to live alone! Died, maybe you are not served the Hajj bang! You don't know the nature of Hajj? Rasain is yes. How dare, just know a day two who asked to be married, huh ... cheap!" said Siti Rukayah with a very fast tone.

Shanti listened to the words coming out from Siti Rukayah. Nothing more than being angry without a clear intention for him. Shanti decides that she will react negatively to every statement Siti Rukayah makes to her.

"Oh ..., so you want to tell us about the nature of Bang Typhoon?"  ask Shanti. 

"Oh, so you don't understand the nature of the Hajj. He wants more work than you, you know! answer Siti Rukayah.

"Newly also split a day Shan-shan mbak, can not be a benchmark. The Bang Typhoon section must still be busy taking care of stalls, gardens, new factories." said Shanti while calming the heart.

"Hold you the same. These words of mine. I will not visit Hajj again. Note that," said Siti Rukayah.

"It might not be possible. Shan-shan is convinced by the Typhoon Bang type man," Shanti denies.

"God! Don't you fucking know! Then why are you calling me." Back there was a voice full of emotion Siti Rukayah. "Hey! Don't tell me anything to affect my son!"

Shanti followed every word of her interlocutor in detail. Especially the last sentence.  He is very accustomed to talking about prospective clients' business tactics. Quickly he concluded that the children of the Cyclone Mus told positive things about him. Then he assumes that this conversation does not need to continue.

"Yes, thanks for the info. Later if there is a chance I visit mbak," said Shanti wanted to end the conversation.

"You never come to me! I don't need your visit! answer Siti Rukayah.

Shanti wants to reply to Siti Rukayah, but her phone is no longer connected. Presumably Siti Rukayah at the end of the conversation had turned off her phone. It was only the breaking tone that Shanti heard.

Shanti was satisfied with the conversation that afternoon. He felt victorious because the terror-man had fled. Shanti is happy, especially she has been able to measure the capacity of her competitors. At least he will repeat the same trick if Siti Rukayah again bothers him.

"Wyn how have you not been?" ask Shanti.

"God, there was additional heat from the room" Wynne replied jokingly.

Shanti did not respond to Wynne's joke, she said, "then we only have to prepare the accompanying menu.

Then they both boiled potatoes and made long bean sautees. Do not forget to make green sambal as a complementary menu. Wynne is looking forward to Widi and Gendis' return so they can have lunch together soon.
