The atmosphere in the courtyard of the house of Kosim which was originally crowded by residents who had gathered to expel Kosim until there was a persecution of Kosim, now only Mr. Head of the village, Mr. RT and two village officials.


A little while later amidst the chatter between the Village Chief and Kosim in the living room, Dewi came along with Mahmud and Abah Dul.


"Assalamualaikum.." said Dewi, Mahmud and Abah Dul together.


"Waalaikum salam" said Kosim, Mr. Village Chief and Mr. RT.


"Pak Kuwu, mr. RT.." greet the Goddess while entering and greeting, followed by Mahmud and Abah Dul.


"Wi, Mud, Bah.." replied Mr. Kuwu briefly.


"Sim, are you okay?!" Tanya Dewi panicked to see that there was a lump in Kosim.


Mahmud and Abah Dul frowned seeing that there was a wound on Kosim's face.


"You got beaten up by Sim?!" Abah Dul's question looked emotional.


"Yes Bah but that's okay" replied Kosim.


"Where are Arin and Dede?!" Ask the Goddess again.


"There's in the house bi Ijah Wi, let me call ya." Sahut Pak RT while hurrying to get out of his chair.


"Yes, he said he had been hit several times by blows and kicks from residents. But it's lucky it didn't last long because Mr. RT and Salim are both Kurds who managed to prevent and protect Kosim." Timpal Pak the Village Chief.


"God's Masya... Who was the mastermind of his provocation, Mr. Kuwu?!" Ask Abah Dul who looks furious hearing Mr. Kuwu's statement.


"Not yet to know Bah. Later let the village government, me and pamong will take care of it. I have also heard from Kosim. And I personally strongly believe in the information from Kosim, if it is true that anyone did this assignment we will investigate" said Mr. Kuwu.


"It is better in my opinion, Kosim and his family were temporarily evacuated first yes Wi," Mr. Kuwu told Dewi.


"For the safety of Kosim and his family" he said.


"Njih Pa Kuwu, matur nuwun previously had been troublesome and had made a rowdy village," replied Dewi.


"Yes Nothing Wi, it has become my duty and obligation to protect my society. Well, then I say yes." Said Mr. Kuwu as he moved from his seat.


"Damn, njih... Once again thank you very much." said Dewi welcomed Mr. Kuwu's handshake.


Mahmud, Kosim and Abah Dul stood and shook hands one by one and drove Pak Kuwu up to the terrace. Mr. Salim and Mr. Kardi also left Kosim's house following Mr. Kuwu.


Not long ago Arin came in a hurry while carrying Dede accompanied by Pak RT and Mak Ijah. Both of his eyes were puffy, the look on his face revealed fear and anxiety.


"Mr..." Arin greeted directly embraced the Goddess and cried on her shoulders.


"Already, already Rin.." whispered the Goddess as she rubbed Arin's back with teary eyes.


"Here, here the Dedenya is the same Bude yes," said Dewi as she grabbed Dede to her sling.


Then Arin turned to Kosim who was standing with a face still leaving anxiety and fear.


"Yes..." Arin said directly to Kosim and hugged him tightly.


"You okay, Mom? Your face is hurt" said Arin Lirih.


"Yes Rin, it's okay" Kosim said slowly.


"I saw peeking out of the window, people beating you... I could not bear to see him want to run out but prevented the same mother," Arin's cry was poked in Kosim's chest.


"Yes Sim, the mother is worried that if Arin comes out can be the target of a raging citizen as well. Hence the mother prevented," said Mak Ijah who had sobbed since from his home.


"Yes already, it's Rin... It's okay" Kosim said with teary eyes.


The Goddess's sobs broke out seeing her sister say that. She could imagine how she felt when she saw her husband persecuted many people before her eyes.


Without feeling the atmosphere is dark, vague in the distance sound of the simple azan Isya from the loudspeakers of the mosque and mosque.


"Let's go in, come in." said Mahmud.


"Punten everything, I say yes." said Mr. RT.


"Oh injih, njih Pak RT. Matur nuwun.." replied Mahmud.


"Satur nuwun Pak RT his help, yes.." timpal Dewi.


"Thank you very much Mr. RT has helped me. I don't know what would happen if there was no RT sir" Kosim said.


"Jih, equally, it is my obligation to protect the community" said Mr. RT with a light smile.


Mr. RT who is kindhearted and works according to TUPOKSI basic tasks and functions without strings attached, stepped out of the house Kosim with a sincere heart even without being given cigarette money.


Kosim releases his embrace and leads Arin into the house salutation following Mahmud and Dewi. Behind him, Abah Dul seen on his face still harbors his wrath considering the community's piercing of Kosim.


"Wi made you drink." said Mahmud.


"Let me be Ma'am" Arin said.


Arin also passed by leaving the living room, behind him Mak Ijah followed. While in the living room sat Abah Dul, Mahmud and Kosim.


"Braught is the person who provokes. You know the guy who beat you up Sim? All reported to the police," said Abah Dul who still looks angry.


"I don't know if I didn't see it because of the crowd. I just came home from work stopped Mr. RT in front before turning home. Residents immediately surrounded and shouted" Kosim said.


"Had Bah not need to report all police reports," continued Kosim.


"If from the story of Mak Ijah, he heard the rumors he initially said some people actually lost their money mysteriously. Because before I had been drafted so the people accused me," said Kosim.


"Oh then it's true that there are people who undergo the benefits," said Abah Dul.


Arin appears carrying two cups of coffee in his left right hand, followed by Mak Ijah carrying a glass of coffee and placed on the table.


"Sir, is there really anyone who loses money unnaturally?" Ask Abah Dul.


"Then Bah, the one who lost the money was Reni's mom, Lusi's mom was Yayah's." Answer Mak Ijah.


"It has to be revealed who did it. This person is more insolent in getting others slandered!" Abah Dul said with a sigh.


"Later in my house Bah to be calm and free" Mahmud.


"O yes Sim, tonight ngungsi first there again yes. Here are worried that the situation is not conducive," he continued.


"Yes Mas" said Kosim.


Kosim, who had never wanted to stay at Mahmud's house again, was forced to obey this time.


Moments later Kosim and Arin begin to pack their clothes and other necessities while staying at Mahmud's house. Everything was put in a big bag.


"Mak, leave the house again ya.." Arin told Mak Ijah.


"Yes Rin, you're Dede and Kosim are fine there." Said Mak Ijah glazed.


"Mom, we say yes." said Kosim greeting Mak Ijah kissing his hand.


"Sir, leave the house." said Dewi.


After greeting Mak Ijah, Mahmud, Kosim, Abah Dul, hurry up on their respective motorcycles. Abah Dul is alone, Mahmud hugs his wife and Kosim tells Arin and Dede leaves Kosim's house to Mahmud's house in the next village.
