POV Author

After the death of Sidiq Fatimah also immediately opened a stall where his business is now. After performing the dhuha prayer first. Then Fatimah also opened her small stall, which contains children's snacks and a little kitchen needs whose buyers are residents only around.

Meanwhile Yasin had reached the place of Mr. Zul and immediately met Mr. Zul to provide care for his fruit plants. And remodel plants that are not desired by Mr. Zul. For a long time Yasin did not see the place, indeed the condition is less well maintained. Although visitors to the restaurant Mr. Zul quite crowded. But unfortunately there is no special officer who handles the plant. This makes the plants less well maintained and some even wither and dry.

“Lumayan crowded pack, what restaurant because Sunday or indeed every day crowded like this ?” ask Yasin to Mr. Zul.

“Alhamdulillah, almost every day crowded. Even the restaurant next door is also crowded sir, because this place is now one of the culinary destinations as well as recreation.” Answer mr. Zul.

What is meant by the restaurant next door is a restaurant that was once held by Rahardian before he died. Until there is a conflict with Mr. Zul because Mr. Zul is a friend of Yasin, Rahardian's great enemy.

Yasin became reminded of events that later became a major event to kill Rahardian. After Yasin and Ponco managed to save Steve's son and wife.

Then Yasin busied himself by starting to cut the plants that spread and water the plants that would otherwise be preserved.

While the plants that have not been desired by Mr. Zul, especially the vine that he used to plant. By Yasin overhauled and taken the stem to take home. Yasin will again make plant seeds and prepare the material for grafting.

Yasin seemed to work, in addition to getting the results of direct wages, Yasin also got Grafting materials to start his business of making grape seedlings. Not felt the hot sun that stung the skin of his body. In Yasin's mind he just thought that this was an opportunity to be able to get back up and start his business.

Yasin vigorously sorted the pieces of grape stems that had been removed from the leaves. Then tied up and packed specifically to take home later. Without Yasin knowing if there are several pairs of eyes watching Yasin who is working.

Almost half a day Yasin turned around checking and caring for and dismantling plants in the Zul pack restaurant.  Yasin's sweat seemed to wet almost his entire body. Mr. Zul who saw the work of Yasin then approached Yasin and asked him to rest for a moment.

“Rest first sir, it's almost dhuhur we drink and chat first.” Greetings Mr. Zul.

“Iya sir, soon a little more is done, gig if it stops now.” Answer Yasin.

Mr. Zul saw the work of Yasin, indeed just a little more all the plants there will be sorted out. Yasin's work was very fast. No more plants that run wild until it blocks the road and all the dry plants have also been tidied up and replaced with new plants. Even all the plants also looked green, because the withered leaves had all been discarded by Yasin.

Mr. Zul was satisfied with the work of Yasin who continued to work professionally, Yasin was indeed the type of a tenacious and persistent, for Yasin there was no low job. Although some people underestimate the profession of a plant or gardener as a rough or low-level job. But with all his heart Yasin did the job so that the results seemed satisfactory.

After finishing Yasin also received an invitation from Mr. Zul to rest and drink for a while while waiting for the dhuhur time. Because he wanted to go home also the responsibility of entering the dhuhur time soon, so Yasin chose to all pray dhuhur there.

And when Yasin was resting while chatting with Mr. Zul, suddenly surprised by the presence of Steve and Ponco who unexpectedly appeared in that place as well.

“Assalaamu ‘alaikum..!” greet the Poncho to Yasin and Mr. Zul.

Mr. Zul who had met with Ponco and Steve was shocked by the appearance of the two people. mr. Zul does not know exactly what happened that made Steve and Ponco leave Rahardian and turn to side with Yasin.

“Wa’alaikummussalaam.. eeh Ponco and Steve, how do you know I am here ?” yasin replied as he stood up to greet Poncho and Steve.

Poncho and Steve did not immediately answer, but saluted Yasin and did not forget to give each other a warrior-style salute as they knew it. So Yasin became a bit clumsy, because he had long since abandoned the world of violence and never again used his martial skills or cannura.

“Aah my brother, I have not used martial arts for a long time. Maybe also at this time has forgotten it all.” Yasin told Poncho and Steve.

“No brother Yasin, I'm sure you won't forget. Although long time no use but I'm sure you will still remember with all the moves you have.” Steve said Yasin.

Yasin just smiled and let Steve and Ponco sit in his resting place with Zul sir.

“You are the one who used to join the dead side hustler. You are now friends with Mr Yasin?” ask Mr. Zul to Steve and Ponco.

“Iya sir, the length of the story. And sorry if we used to make a storm in this place.” Answer Steve.

“Well, that's the important past now you're not hostile and hostile to us.” Said mr. Zul. Then answered by Poncho.

“No sir, we have all been friends with each other and I have not been with people who used to be hostile to the father and pack Zain.” Answer Poncho.

“Good then, I am so calm now there is no more fuss.” Said mr. Zul.

Then they got into a conversation in their past while still at odds because Steve and Ponco were Rahardian's henchmen at that time. So it must be opposite Yasin and become an enemy of Yasin.

Yasin who listened to the story of Ponco and Steve just smiled a small smile. For him, past events do not need to be remembered. Because Yasin also realized that he had a bad past too, so he was reluctant to talk about the past.

“Pak Zul, may the three of us talk for a while if possible we will find another place to talk three. Between me Poncho and brother Yasin.” Steve said to Mr. Zul.

“But no problem right ?” ask Mr. Zul.

“No sir, just relax we are now friends so there is no more hostility between us.”  Answer Steve.

“Alright, I think the three of you can talk here. Let me go back to work to keep an eye on the kids.” Mr. Zul replied avoiding talks that are not the business and authority of Mr. Zul.

Yasin himself was rather surprised to hear Steve about to talk to him all three. It's not just suudhon wondering what Steve and Ponco are going to talk about. Because Yasin felt that all the problems had been resolved leaving no other problems for the three of them.

“Actually there is a problem what seems really important ?” yasin asked Steve and Poncho.

Steve and Ponco looked at each other briefly to negotiate who would start talking. And the Ponco invites Steve to start talking to Yasin.

“Begini brother Zain, but earlier we apologize and hope you are not offended.” Steve's words stopped for a moment, somewhat confused to start talking to Yasin who is hard character and somewhat irritable. Although Steve and Ponco know that Yasin will not be angry if it does not offend his self-esteem and feelings.

“Let's just say Steve, I won't be mad for something that doesn't principle. Especially at this time I also feel old, so it must be a lot of restraint and patience.” Yasin flat. A little grew Steve's courage to speak up.

“Iya I know, but still I have to say so in order not to miss between us who are already friendly.” Answer Steve.

“Have nothing to worry about, just say that even if I am offended I will stop your saying so that you do not continue.” Yasin replied, wondering what Steve was missing.

“This is how I used to be before leaving for Japan to give a mandate to a friend to sell my house. And already sold, some of the money I made business capital. And some of it I put my best friend to take Ponco. I mean to give you a gift and a poncho. But Ponco forgot to take until his man died.” Steve.

“Owh is just about that, I think about what to say just like doubt.” Answer Yasin kalem.

“Yes not only that Brother, I mean at this time I still hold the savings account book. And I beg you not to reject it, because this is just a thank you from me and my wife's children who you helped at that time.” said Steve.

“Already, forget the events first do not be revealed again. We are the same as forgetting that event.” Answer Yasin.

“Means “ ask Yasin.

“I want to thank you, as I planned. And I'm asking you to come with me tomorrow to the bank with Ponco.” Steve.

“Have Steve you do not have to do that. You and your wife's child are safe and have switched professions only I have been grateful, there is no need for any frills either gift or anything.” Yasin.

Both Steve and Ponco became somewhat confused to face Yasin who still insisted on his attitude.

“Is it wrong if people want to carry out their promises even though it has not been said recently in the heart ?” ask Steve to Yasin.

“Not really, but I feel like I never expected anything from you. So to me it's not a necessity Steve.” Yasin.

“Iya is for you, but for me it is a must because I have the promise, and as a friend you will not help me carry out my promise ?” steve told Yasin.

“That's why you make his name, for me that friendship cannot be measured by Steve.”'s money Answer Yasin.

“You think I'm measuring you with money ? Kan I said just carry out a promise as a thank you.” Steve's refutation began to be somewhat irritated by Yasin's attitude.

“Begini brother Zain, Steve meant that he wanted to carry out his promise. And it was mandatory, to be honest I also initially refused. But considering it was Steve's promise then I also accepted. I hope Zain's brother will accept it.” Ponco said. Yasin was a bit worried about the Ponco's words. Yasin's character is a bit high prestige, even though he actually needs. But he did not want to show that he was in trouble this time.

“What are you saying about Steve Ponco?” Ask Yasin to Poncho. Yasin was worried that Steve knew the state of his family from the Ponco story, so Steve did so.

“Owh has nothing to do with that brother Zain, Steve used to leave a message to me but I forgot. And just yesterday we met again and Steve asked the message Steve said, and I just remembered yesterday after so many years.” Answer Poncho.

Yasin thought for a moment, is it true that such a Poncho is speaking. Or just a story so that Yasin would accept help from Steve alone.

“Why not be taken care of to his family if the person you trust is dead. Even want to involve me coming to the bank ?” yasin.

It was a bit difficult for Steve and Ponco to persuade Yasin, so Steve had to tell the chronology from the time of giving a message to the Poncho until his meeting again yesterday. So with great difficulty Steve managed to convince Yasin. And finally Yasin was willing to follow Steve and Ponco to the bank. With a note to see when the money in question is put into the bank. If indeed it was a few years ago Yasin just wanted to, but if just now it was just engineering Steve and Ponco only. Steve didn't mind because what really happened was like that.  So Steve is not worried if Yasin will see a print out of Steve's savings book.

After that, Yasin immediately prayed dhuhur and immediately went home to meet Fatimah his wife and son Sidiq after saying goodbye, and received payment for his work. On the way home Yasin was still thinking about what Steve and Ponco said earlier. There are still concerns if it's just an engineering.

While there are three people who pay attention to the movements of Yasin and his friends without realizing them.

“That's Zain, so gardener he is now. When when do we get to his house, after all he does not know us we.” Say one of them.

“What to do, don't look for diseases. Our senior seniors alone can be defeated all, including our Master ki Soma and Maheso Suro who have not been caught by the trunk of his nose until now.” Answer one. It turns out that they were Maheso Suro's men when they were still accomplices of the Rahardian family.

“Not a problem, he is also getting old maybe his strength is also not as strong as before.” Refute first person.

“What is clear is that I still hold a grudge against him, because he is the one who has imprisoned me. But I realized that if I faced myself it would definitely lose to him.” The third person who was none other than Damar. The one who used to want to marry Arum his birth mother Sidiq, but his Arum did not want and preferred Rofiq.

“Let's set it first, which obviously we need a tactic to beat him now.” Answer the first person who invited to visit Yasin's house. The three of them immediately left the restaurant Mr. Zul, while investigating where Yasin went.

At Yasin's house

POV Author

“Assalaamu ‘alaikum...!” Say hello to Yasin when he enters his house.

“Wa’alaikummussalaam... have already gone home well ? Mommy just shopping, soon home kok yah.” Said Sidiq who had returned from his mamah house.

“Shopping  ? What shopping, instead of yesterday has been shopping also ?” yasin.

“Iya well, shopping for stall needs. He said let the sale be more complete so that the more attractive buyers later.” Answer Sidiq.

“Owh, kirain shopping for kitchen. Indeed your mother holds a lot of money?” ask Yasin.

Sidiq was a bit hesitant to answer, would say if the ATM was occupied by Steve and it turned out to be quite large. So that some were taken Sidiq and given to his mother. Partly given by her for her masah Arum jenguk and her sister Panji and her father Panji Rofiq.

“Dad don't get angry first yes, Sidiq wants to tell.” Sidiq.

Yasin was astonished, and he suspected that this must have something to do with Steve.

“What is your mother given money same om Steve?” Ask Yasin probing.

“Not Mother Well, but Sidiq.” Reply Sidiq who then tells the chronology of the incident. Yasin heard the story of Sidiq. And while waiting for his wife Fatimah to go home shopping, Yasin asked Sidiq to make coffee for him. In Yasin's heart he thought, “does this really be the path I have to go through. Or it's time I got back up from the economic downturn all this time. I remember Yuyut, who once told me about going through a situation like this.” Yasin said in his heart.

And after Sidiq came to bring Yasin Coffee began to sip coffee made by his son, and Sidiq who had memorized his father's favorite coffee quickly made it. But Sidiq did not dare to start talking to his father, because he saw his father just thinking of something that seemed heavy. So Sidiq just sat with his father.

Flashback Jafar is called Kiainya

“You whose name is Jafar ?” ask a Santri to Jafar.

“Iya kang, what's up ?” ask Jafar.

“You are called Mr. Kyai told to face.” Santri said directly leaving Jafar.

Jafar who was first asked to face Kiainya was nervous. Because it is rare for Kiainya to call his manners personally if there is no problem or something very serious. But Jafar with all his courage prepared himself to face the Kyai. If it has any fault Jafar was ready to accept the sanctions that apply in the Pesantren, which is usually asked to memorize letters in the Koran or be asked to memorize certain books. In accordance with the amount of mistakes he made.

With the step of mantab Jafar also stepped into ‘nDalem’ (the parent house of the Kyai ).

“Assalaamu ‘alaikum..!” greeting Jafar.

“Wa’alaikummussalaam..!” replied a daughter of Kyai.

Jafar was surprised when the one who opened the door was a girl, so the courage that had appeared was just lost and a bit nervous in saying.

“What are the kang, santri brother here also right ?” said the girl. who in the world pesantren Kyai girls called ‘Ning’ (read Neng ) and if the boy called Gus.

“Eee I was told to face Mr. Kyai, do not know what to tell.” Jafar replied rather nervously.

“Definitely got it wrong, until called Abi so. Yeah, just wait, Nia call Abi. Eeh your name who is kang ?” asked the Kyai Princess, making Jafar even more nervous.

“Jafar Sidiq Amin.” Jafar replied briefly while somewhat trembling.

Your mistake must be big to tremble so.” Nia Kyai's daughter said.

Jafar grew pale, not even daring to look straight ahead. His face just stared at the floor. In Jafar's heart said, “ Well why I became nervous like this, already nervous called kyai plus nervous to meet Kyai's beautiful daughter earlier.” said Jafar in his heart. While remaining down, until it does not know if the Kyai is in front of him.

“Eheeem…. You whose name is Jafar ?” Kyai's greeting arrived. Making Jafar almost faint from shock.
