TINI SUKETI
108. Tini's Brilliant Idea

All the boarding house residents approached Tini with faces moved. Colored down from the sofa and sitting in front of Tini rubbed his best friend's shoulder.

“Udah rejekimu, Tin. Not going where. Now it's your turn,” said Sejah.

“Yes, Ma'am Tin. Now it's your turn, Ma'am Tini. We all also join seneng,” added Asti.

“Congratulations, Budhe Tini. Mima was happy too. Budhe Tini worked hard for a long time. Now shown the results,” said Bara, smiling.

Tini straightened her body and wiped away the tears. Boy took a tissue box from next to the television and thrust it at Tini.

“Can cry also you,” says Boy.

“Can, Boy. Although I am from heaven I can also cry. Uglyak aja this you," said Tini, take two sheets of tissue and gush his nose.

“Your bags are not tau?” tanya Sejah's.

“Later, Jah. This is big money. If it's not sure, it's not just shame, but I'm more disappointed. I still half believe. Because I know from the beginning, finding money is not easy. A little, which says a lot is not good. If you want those moments, make my spirit drop (fall).” Tini shed tears again.

“Biasalah in my life like that, Tin. People are more observant of our mistakes than our strengths. The hundred that you made baek-baek, keep looking for the one mistake you made. It is the same as when we hear the words (bomongan) of people. One hundred times we are praised, we remember one time we are reviled. That's why I don't like to interfere in people's business. Because I'm not a patent kali (very good). There won't be any, I don't think people are berating each other if they're at home often. But if there is no one whose mouth is like that, not hell. That's what my late mother said. Sukuri. If no one were to revile, it wouldn't be right now. Long times I said. So sad for me too. Request the tissue, Boy.”

Boy again thrust a tissue at Mak Robin. Sentimental Asti pulls the tissue from the box. She had been crying with Tini. Boy's face also expressed concern. While Sejah, the look of his face was flat as usual.

Bara glanced at his wife. He knew that Dijah was happy for what Tini achieved. In his mind his wife may imagine the difficult times they had passed together. Bara drew a smile. He knows now that the Sejah is very relieved.

When leaving the boarding of the chicken coop first, Bara knew a little bit of Sejah thinking about the fate of Tini he left behind. They have shared many things in distress and also small joys that others consider trivial. Not a few nights spent Dijah talking about his friends.

Emar smile. Although his face looks flat, he knows his wife is the happiest person if Tini is married and lives successfully.

“Mbak, Tin .. I had an idea,” Asti said breaking the silence.

A second Asti said that, Tini then jumped. “I want something!” peekik Tini's.

Mak Robin, Boy and Asti retreated instantly.

“What, Tin? You just ngagetin,” said Dijah.

“Waitu—wait. I want something.” Tini again took her phone and searched the phone number for a moment. “After I called Evi first.”

“Vi, tekoke regane piro pas'e. I'm ono good news. Dinyang sak cheape. Coordinate to tell me!" (Vi, ask what the price of certainty is. I have some good news. Bargain until as cheap as possible. Call me as soon as possible!)

“Tenane, Ma'am? With ojo gawe I have goosebumps, you know." (Seriously, Ma? You don't make me creep.) Evi half screamed from across the phone.

Seamed furrowed his brows and looked at Bara. Her husband also frowned, but with a facial expression asking for an explanation.

"Mengko is not a genahke. Tokokmen dinyang ngasi cheapest last seko rego. Dayat dijak kon melu ngenyang. Biasane says Dayat kuwi gawe hot ears, ning cok bener. I'm getting yelled at, yo." (Later I explained. Anyway bargain until the cheapest of the last price. Take Dayat for nawar. Ordinary Dayat talk is not good for people, but really likes it. Call me immediately.)

Colored patting Tini's shoulder with widened eyes. Tini then nodded answering the gaze of Sejah's eyes.

"Yo, Mommy. I'm buddhal saiki—Yat! The tangi! Mbak Tini perwangi. Saiki wektune kowe kuwi ono gunane." (Yes, Mother. I'm leaving now—Yat! Wake up! Ma'am Tini needs help. It's time for you to be useful.) Evi's words were still heard across the phone just before the girl pressed the END CALL button.

“So, Tin?” tanya Sejah's.

“I have a plan. This is the answer to everything. But I have to make sure about this bonus first. What percentage can be directly liquid. If it can't go straight, I need to know the date. Aduh—aduh—I can't wait to enter work Monday,” said Tini while opening his phone to check the date.

“What's your plan?” ask Boy. “I haven't noticed, Tin.”

“I want to buy a hill behind the cow Chef's house. The hill behind my front neighbor's house. The hill is unique, Boy. Located between two alleys. Many years did not sell, but the land was fertile. The owner does not want to sell a little. He wants to get to the front of the road. I asked Evi to ask the price first. If I have enough money, I buy it. Hopefully the price of the permeter has not gone up. For Dayat I set aside first.” Tini's eyes sparkled with happiness.

“That's the plan I wanted to convey earlier, Ma'am. The outline is the same. I'd like to say, what if the party was made on the ground near a crossroads. Rent or borrow the same. But if Mbak Tini can buy it, it would be amazing.” Asti looked at Tini with a reassuring face.

Meanwhile, in Cokro Village, two brothers were flocking across two villages to come to the owner of the hill opposite their house.

“Let me say what, Ma'am?” asked Dayat when he parked his bike.

“Terlarah. Freer. The important thing according to the theme,” said Evi, stepping to the front door of the house and knocking on it.

A few moments waiting for the invitation, the door opened and an old woman came out of the house.

“What's up?” The old lady in her 70s was watching Evi's face closely. “Kok, kayak knows. Whose son are you?” ask the old woman.

“Joko?” The old woman asked back.

Dayat appeared from behind Evi and smiled at the old woman. "The Child of Almarhumah Bu Parni, Mbah.” Dayat is pulling his hair.

“Oalah, son of Parni. Login—entry. Cah good. From where?” the old woman looked at Dayat.

Dayat and Evi sat side by side in a wooden long chair facing the old lady of the hill landowner across from their house.

“From home, do want to go to Mbah's house. Want to talk about the land across the street from our house. Mbak Tini asked for info. Is the price still the same? Or even down?” Cengenesan.

The old woman hit Dayat on the shoulder. “Down yes, impossible. Who would want to buy? Tini wants to go to her house. If you can buy, not outsiders. You don't want to make macem-macem.” The old woman said with a slight look.

“Create Mbak Tini, Mbah. Ma'am Tini can not make a tower, at most build a monument." Dayat chuckles.

"What monument?" The old woman was surprised.

"I'm kidding, you know, beautiful Mbah." Dayat laughed again.

"Hell, molly!" The long widowed Mbah again patted Dayat sitting to his right.

"Actually it's appropriate that Mbak Tini who bought. The hill country is getting weird, Mbah. Any chicken that goes in there will never come out. Everything disappeared mysteriously,” Dayat said, looking at the old woman in front of him with a frowning forehead and the corner of her lips turned into a faint smile. His head shook slowly.

“Misterius how?” ask the old woman.

“Any, anyway. Frequently disgraceful. Never a chicken, a brook or a goose can get out of there alive.”

“What's wrong?”

Dayat shrugged his shoulders. “There is no chicken that can be questioned as a witness," said Dayat, grinning.

This time the old lady of the hill owner pushed Dayat's shoulder. “Say the same Tini, if for him, Mbah does not rise in price. Still old price. The cost of the letters will be split in two. That's not expensive. The same price as eight years ago. All this time the land was fine. It is also surprising that the poultry went in there did not come out,” said the old woman looking at Dayat.

Out of the old woman's house, Evi can not be separated to look at Dayat.

“What did you think of me from earlier?” Dayat turned on his motor.

"It turns out your charms are reliable," muttered Evi, looking at her sister.

"Have you never heard of my charms all this time?"

“No."

Dayat grunts.

"Yat ... What did you say just now? Chicken, duck and all the poultry go into the hill no longer come out?” ask Evi curious.

Dayat nodded.

“Merinding me,” said Evi.

“Merinding why? All the birds were lost because they were taken the same young men who stayed up late while drunk. Danger. That's why I agree Tini bought it. It will be more useful,” said Dayat.

“I think there are delicate creatures that are dangerous in the hills,” said Evi.

“Now rough creatures are more dangerous, Ma'am. Fine creatures until minder,” said Dayat.
