The Story of the Children of the Juragan
164. In a foreign place
Ronald and Romi were in the car. Both, his eyes were tied with a black covering cloth.
Romi seemed to be still asleep, while Ronald continued thrashing, wanting to be released. I don't know what it's made of until Romi doesn't hear the commotion. But it's useless, Marco's men just silent unmoved, as long as no apology comes out of Ronald's mouth.
After taking almost an hour of travel, they finally arrived at a tall and spacious building.
One of Marco's men got into the building, while the other was in the car.
The plontos-headed and burly man walked towards the secretarial office, feeling uneasy. Because in terms of dress is very much different from the traffic of people who are there.
"Excuse me, sir" he said, knocking on the door in international language. Because Marco's men were deliberately flown directly from the Netherlands to deal with the problem.
Haji Dahlan and Andre, who were Aisyah's grandfather and father, momentarily looked at each other while frowning. Seeing a bule and fierce-looking man coming to his cottage.
"Is the assistant Mr Marco?" guess papa Andre.
"Yes, sir."
Haji Dahlan and papa Andre got up from their seats, and greeted the fierce-looking man by shaking his hand and allowing him to sit down.
Mr. Marco did agree with papa Adam's proposal to house the god of gambling and his son.
Therefore, Adam contacted Andre to prepare a special place for the two.
And Mr. Marco's men will also be in the cottage to watch over the two, so as not to run away from the cottage.
Haji Dahlan and papa Andre feel very challenged to immediately build the two people referred to by assistant master Marco.
Mr. Marco's assistant told his colleague to follow him to the secretarial office along with Ronald and Romi, via phone call.
A few minutes later, a group of men in black and all of them were seen entering the courtyard of the boarding school, while lifting two small-bodied men and laying on his shoulders. It is increasingly becoming the attraction of the residents of the orphanage.
The merciless men dropped the two people they had raised onto the office floor. They made both moan in pain. Ronald and Romi did not expect to be treated that way.
Haji Dahlan and papa Andre immediately swallowed the saliva when they saw it.
"Pa, where are we? Wasn't Romi still sleeping? Why is it suddenly here? Is Romi still dreaming?" the tattooed man looked confused. Then he felt his body ache as a result of being dropped to the floor.
"How dare you treat us like this. Remember, my men will punish you." jolted Ronald angrily at Marco's assistants. But the ten burly men only showed a scornful smile.
"Don't use violence against them, sir. But they are our neighbors."
"I'm sorry, Mr. Ustadz, it was right for them. Self-informed humans." insisted Marco's assistant.
"What happened, pa. Who are these people?" asked Romi with a confused look.
"We are Mr. Marco's assistants. This is a form of punishment, because you refused to apologize to our master."
"Punishment?" repeat Romi confusion.
"You'll be safe here. We will lead you to a better path" Haji Dahlan said.
"We don't need that. Because it doesn't make us rich."
Haji Dahlan and papa Andre shook their heads at the attitude of the person in front of him, who was blinded by money.
"Mr all, please follow me and take these two" said father Andre. He has prepared a place for both.
They also simultaneously nodded their heads then, dragging the body of the child and father following the steps of two people led the boarding school.
"Well, here is a suitable place for you" said papa Andre, when he arrived at a small house located in the corner of the cottage.
The house is only 6x9 meters. It consists of two beds, a kitchen and a bathroom.
"One bed to wear for you and your father. The other bed is used for the rest of Mr. Marco's assistant, which will be used in turn. For the rules, you can read for yourself on this sheet. Everything will start from Maghrib time." explained papa Andre while handing some sheets of paper to Ronald and his son.
"You can't treat us like this?" peekik Ronald did not accept.
"Shut up! Dare to fight.." an assistant to Marco pulls Ronald's collar, while moving his hand towards his neck and sticking out his tongue. Makes Ronald look shaky. Because there are no men.
