Raharjo and his family had been living in a narrow rented one Sunday, he decided to go around the village to get some fresh air.
"I was once at home, usually I'm at this hour always in the office, enjoying expensive coffee and watching employees work. I'm now poor, even eating hitchhiking to my own son." Raharjo continued walking down the village.
Raharjo saw people crowding, he was so interested to know what was there.
"What's this?" ask Raharjo.
"There's a Mahjong match, the winner gets a lot of money." A man gave me information.
"How much?" the question is getting curious.
"Five million."
"How much's the bet?"
"just put it in your pocket, if you're lucky then the money will be yours." The man turned his head, wondering who was talking to him.
Raharjo came forward, he gave the rest of the money he had.
"I'm playing." He put down some of his money.
Raharjo quickly places his bets, he is so confident, the game starts, quickly Raharjo makes a hunch and he turns out to win the mahjong game at the wal of the game.
"I said" he shouted, kissing the money he earned from betting.
"Five million." Raharjo placed all his betting money with great confidence.
The second game is enforced, this time from low level to medium level, every time you win the game, then come again then the game will rise level.
Raharjo started with a smooth path but who would have thought in the middle of the game he started to struggle, he started to struggle, Raharjo began to sweat coldly watching his co-star play quite shrewd even though the beginning of the challenger who became his opponent at the beginning was so easy he defeated.
"Damn! Why did he suddenly become a master of play? I can't lose, I have to win it!" batin Raharjo's.
"It looks like you're starting to lose your focus!" tease his co-star.
Do not accept Raharjo immediately take steps without thinking about his steps right or wrong.
"I won't lose" he said excitedly.
Some spectators who watched cheered, some supported Raharjo, some supported the co-star, all the noise made him lose focus.
Raharja felt her ears hurt with a loud cry from the camp that supported her co-star.
Raharjo undaunted still tried to take a step and in the end he lost, all the money he got was scooped by his co-star and lost instantly.
"Please go, you've lost!"
Raharjo was driven away, but he did not accept, he immediately took a look and heard some people got a betting loan.
"I'll stick around, I borrow money from you, if I win I'll give it back!" Raharjo quickly made up his mind.
Seeing Raharjo so confident in his words, the organizers agreed, he immediately got a loan.
"Sign this deal, otherwise you won't be able to get a loan."
An officer handed over a formal letter of loan of money with a stamp, which meant Raharjo could not escape his debt.
Raharjo immediately signed the letter, he did not know, that this mahjong gambling is famous as a den of fraud, they deliberately attract gambling players by giving the opportunity to place bets like, like, but will get a big prize, when the initial game they deliberately give up and make the player win at the beginning, and in the end lose and then get wrapped up in debt whose money they never even received, that's their cunning the Master group that provides Mahjong gambling.

Nia had walked from her home to the mosque in the middle of the village, but unfortunately she was tired and decided to go home.
"Meet, Mih?" ask Nadin.
"No! Papih you don't exist. I'm tired of looking for her, too." Nia massaged her cramped calf.
"Mamih, so diligent exercise, let's not get tired quickly." Sindir Nadin while bringing water.
"Drink first." Nadin offered a glass of drink.
"Thank you, baby." Nia immediately gulped down the water in the glass.
"Doyan what thirsty?" Nadin again.
"Well, yes, water is good." Nia looked at her empty glass.
"Maye ... Mamih, water is good for health, can remove wrinkles on the face Mamih." Nadin took an empty glass from his mama's hand, he was afraid of his mama's khilaf and threw a glass at him.
"You think his face is wrinkled?" Nia glared at Nadin.
Hearing the annoyed tone of his Mama's words, Nadin chuckles and hides his laughter, content to tease her.

"You lose again, now you have to pay your debt, you only have three days." A man gives a paper copy of the loan agreement.
"Three days? That fast? This is not a little money!" keluh Raharjo's.
"This is the letter of agreement, it's clearly written there, you should protest before signing the letter." The man gave a copy of the agreement to Raharjo's hand.
To his surprise, Raharjo is the fifth victim of the Cunning Master group, they borrowed five million rupiah as the third bet in the game. Now only Raharjo has the most debt, while others only borrow the lack of money they get from the beginning of the game.
Raharjo could only resign, Raharjo walked towards home, on the way he kept thinking, where he could get that much money, he said, even his friends who plunged him in the gambling game did not care about his circumstances, especially if he borrowed money they certainly would not give it.
"Stupid ... Stupid ... stupid, why to be tempted, already know falling poor still acting," Raharjo sat down while beating his head.
.
.
Raharjo entered the house with a shaky step, he seemed to have no more bones to support him standing.
Raharjo only looked at his wife and daughter in turn, he was so sorry, certainly if his wife and child knew he owed five million, he would be cursed out, he said, or it could be that his wife will sue for divorce herself who already has nothing but dare to owe.
"White why, Mih?" ask Nadin.
"Mamih doesn't know either, Din." Nia noticed Raharjo's steps.
"Perhaps because he hasn't eaten a time, he's been gone, it's the afternoon just come home, must be laper, you ready to eat there." Nia lightly told her son to prepare a meal for Raharjo.
What kind of wife is that? Aaah that, the wife of a rich businessman, if already rich and poor still do not want to be independent.hehee kidding yes guys.
Nia followed her husband into the room, in the rented room they occupied, there were two bedrooms, kitchen and living room, all small rooms, just fit for mattress size number two, and there were two rooms, and a small plastic cupboard.
