When You Think Wrong

When You Think Wrong
Debts That Stack Up


Adi entered the house in a hurry and went straight into the room


Yesa who had been eavesdropping had seen her husband enter the room


"What do you want to do?"


Adi did not answer he continued to open the pile of clothes even to look to the back of the pile


"What's pa's day from?"


"Where is the same car certificate this house?"


Yesa breathed in hearing the worried tone of her husband


"Where's ma?, quick..."


Yesa moved out and into the room where their son was sleeping


Before long he had returned with a plastic map in his hand


"This.." he said handed the map to Adi.


Adi immediately took the map quickly and immediately met the Bara sir


Mr. Bara smiled when he saw the map that Adi brought. With a tense and confused face, Adi handed the map to Mr. Bara


Mr. Bara who received the map immediately opened and researched the bpkb first


Read carefully and match with the license plate of the vehicle, then he moved to the land certificate


Read the land boundaries, land area and land prices. After reading the two letters, Bara put them back into the map and looked at Adi's face which was still tense


"This I carry as collateral, and as long as these two letters are in my hands, this house or car cannot be traded, if Adi tries to betray, mas will accept the risk"


Adi swallowed his saliva


"This house and car is worth your debt to me, yes at least a little bit"


"It is impossible sir, you know clearly my nominal debt and the nominal price of this car and house is clearly much more expensive than my debt"


Mr. Bara smiled


"That's your word, not mine"


Andi choked and had to gulp back with a cocky taste


"Okay Mas Adi, I brought these two letters, and let me know if the money is there"


After saying so, Mr. Bara immediately stood up and took his two men away from the house of Adi, who could only sit languidly staring at the departure of Mr. Bara


After the death of Mr. Bara, Yesa immediately came out of his house


"Why can Mr. Bara bring the same car bpkb certificate of our house pa?"


Adi looked quickly


"Sir Bara?, do you know him?"


Yesa stuttered and tried to cover up her nervousness


"No, I heard my father mention his name Pak Bara, so I know if his name is Pak Bara"


Adi tries to believe Yesa's words and takes a deep breath


"Papa hasn't answered my mother's question"


Adi threw his face away by looking straight ahead, towards the highway that was slightly uphill from his house


"Pa?" insist Yesa


Taking a deep breath, Adi finally answered Yesa's question


"Papa owes him the same"


"debt? what debt?"


"He was a fish feed tauke, well papa has been almost two years of always repaying the same he, even lately papa did not pay at all, so he was angry and collect equally papa, so he, even the last bill he charged home"


"And Dinda was furious, because every papa took the feed, the fish feed money was always given to Dinda, so Dinda did not know if the money was corrupt"


"Saking upset because papa long in arrears, Bara sir made a letter of agreement, if for a month papa can not pay the debt, papa will be dragged to prison, and the agreement yesterday fell tempo, and the agreement fell, that's why he came here"


"And his papa why would he know if papa's here"


Yesa put on a sour face hearing Adi's long explanation, her face bent in such a way


"Papain also papa must have a lot of debt as Bara sir, if this is how we are confused, what if our house and car are left behind?"


"Why why can papa have a lot of debt with him anyway?, did you forget to make a house and buy a car where the money came from?, where?, yes from the money that you should have deposited with the Bara sir!"


Yesa's face was bent


"Papa money is a lot, why not use cash only pay the debt, why should also submit the same bpkb certificate?"


"Everything has broken up with Dinda"


Yesa's eyes widened


"meaning?"


"Atm and everything is now blocked with Dinda. Even all kinds of papa's efforts were all cut off with Dinda"


Yesa nodded and looked at the nanar


"So during these three weeks the money you spend will not be replaced?"


Adi is silent


"You know, papa has not given you money for a long time, from which you can add if not from papa's shipment"


"Eh even now papa no more income, we continue to live how pa?"


Adi put on an annoyed face hearing his wife's complaint


"Mama help me think, not even add to my burden"


"Tau ah, bodo.." saying so, Yesa went into the house with a stomp of her feet.


...----------------...


Like before, if the weekend ends, my activities around the business are now my responsibility


Now I have to jump directly, if not the business that we have pioneered so many years can collapse, let alone so much debt legacy Adi that I have to pay off


I don't know how else I'm paying Adi's debts. Apparently in addition to Mr. Bara, the debt is also palm oil seed farmers. And the nominal is unmitigated, so I have to withdraw a lot of my savings.


And now, I have to actually manage the shop, the nursery and the pool. Thank God I was surrounded by good people, the pool workers were all honest so were the store and warehouse employees


While the nursery employees, three new employees, a replacement for the Toro cs mas that I fired yesterday


Actually mas Toro and his two friends have often come home to ask for work again, and promised if they would not repeat their mistakes again


But my heart still can't believe, I'm not a hypocrite, I can be good with a good person just like me, but I will be evil to the one who betrayed me


As of this morning, after delivering Naya and Arik to school, I was already preparing to leave for the store when some pool employees came


"Sir, the pond is ready to fill the fish again"


I took a deep breath, which meant I had to prepare more money to buy fish seeds


"Mas or you know not, all this time my husband took fish seedlings with whom?"


The three of them were silent and shook their heads, because they did not know it


"Or just call Mr. Bara, we believe he must know mbak"


I nodded in agreement, as soon as I went inside to take a phone call Mr. Bara


"Yes, can you help me?" greet Mr. Bara from across when connected


"Look sir, said mas and these fathers, our pond is ready to be replenished, there are acquaintances who sell fish seeds?, because all this time who handle this all mas Adi"


Mr. Bara has not replied, he was silent for a moment


"Oh there mbak, later I send their number, mbak can nego directly with them"


I smiled at Mr. Bara's answer, which means that one problem has been solved


Before long some messages from Pak Bara entered, he actually sent me the contact number of the fish seed tauke


Soon I called them one by one


It turned out that it was not easy to negotiate with them, because again mas Adi left their same debt and they were angry with me


"Father can meet me this afternoon at the store, don't forget to bring proof of my husband's debt" I promised the five of them


Finished calling the fish seed tauke I stared at the three pool employees with teary eyes


"Fathers and dads hear for themselves, what do they say?"


Hufff, I took a deep breath and my tears immediately flowed


"The money from the fish harvest yesterday I repaid the debt of Mas Adi to the oil palm seed farmers, pay the wages of the father and the mas all, I also pay the wages of the nursery employees, that's just a lot of lack, it's just a lot of lack, I had to take the savings, my dizziness was.." I complained.


The three of them looked pityfully at me, but I countered with a forced smile while shrinking my tears


"And it seems that Adi mas owed to the five of them, my father died if I have to pay all the debts of Adi mas.." lamented me while returning to shed tears.


He breathed heavily


"Then, ngisi dipendingnya just mbak, let our wages clean the pool do not pay first, the important thing mbak mbak finished" said one of the oldest among the three, said one of the oldest among the three, one agreed with the other by nodding his head


I took a deep breath hearing their sincerity. My tears are flowing back
