Being Struggled Due to Debt
CHAPTER X
The moment Gabriel saw the three people, entering their courtyard without permission, he already had a bad feeling. So, he asked for Hana and Ayunda to enter the house with the message “Until they called their names, then they could exit”
“Good morning” says Eros.
“Again bang, what's up?” Ask Gabriel.
“Don't nanya you. Pay your debt now!” pacco is their boss. While one of them hit a flower that was hung until it fell and broke on the ground he was Gelendra.
“Hold bang. We can talk well inside.”
“No need. I didn't come to talk well.” Their boss said as he reached his hand into the dish and took a piece of babengka bread and ate it.
“Bos, it's not ours” reprimand Eros.
“He knows. But, at the moment I am hungry”
Gabriel asked to speak well. Their emotions suddenly disappeared and their boss finally agreed to Gabriel's request.
“Sit first bang,”
As they sat down, Gabriel began to open the conversation by asking them for time to extend. But, the three of them disagreed because this debt had been very long.
“Sorry bang but, at the moment, I do not have enough money to pay for it.” When the word came out of Gabriel's mouth, Galendra threw his punch into Gabriel's jaw. Until Gabriel fell, lying on the ground.
“Stand up.” Galendra told Gabriel to stand up. But over time, Galendra committed a forced act. He clutched the collar of Gabriel's shirt as well as strangled and then forcefully pulled Gabriel's body until he could stand upright in front of Pacco.
While being choked by Galendra, Pacco asked Gabriel “So when can you pay?”
Gabriel who felt pain in his neck could only receive treatment from them, without any self-defense.
With great difficulty speaking Gabriel replied to a question from Pocco “In this week bang.”
“I accept your promise”
“Galendra release him”
“Good boss.”
Galendra took her hand off Gabriel's neck.
“Today you I saved. With a note I accept your offer to be repaid within this week. But, if it does not pay off the debt in this week, then you will die from me.” Pocco. He then invited his men to leave Gabriel “Let's go from here.”
Gabriel hissing also gritted his teeth with full of hateful fury.
Inside the house, precisely in Ayunda's room, with fear, Hana locked herself with her son.
“Mother who they”
“That's dad's friend.”
“if they're dad's friends, why don't dad let me and mom sit with them”
“Not good baby, if we as women hear what men” talk about
“Not so dear. This one is a different concept.”
Gabriel walked into the house, his footsteps heavy. The neck hurts as well as the jaw, and the head is dizzy. He remembers saying himself that the debt will be repaid within this week but, “Where can that much money come from?” tanyakanya.
What's more, it's accompanied by threat spices that make Gabriel even more afraid. He was very unsure of his promise. He braced himself, squeezing his neck to relieve the pain so that when he talked to his son's wife, they were unsuspecting.
“Hana, Ayunda” call Gabriel.
Hearing the voice of the call from the father, Ayunda hurriedly opened the door of the room and ran towards Gabriel. From behind followed by Hana. From afar Gabriel had knelt down and opened his hands wide when his daughter was close to him, he hugged and held her. As Gabriel supported Ayunda, Ayunda accidentally wrapped her hands around Gabriel's neck, her hands right in the area of the pain making Gabriel scream a little.
“Aargggh”
“Dad why?”
“Nothing dear.” Gabriel said. He then lifted his son into the air. He put his hand on Ayunda's chest, his next hand held her knee tightly, and Ayunda stretched out her hands. They both play airplane.”
“Be careful dad not to fall” said Ayunda forbid husband and son who are playing. While holding a microfiber kemoceng used to wipe the dust attached to the closet where he keeps glassware.
“Whose father was that om-om? Until my father did not want me and my mother met them” Tanya Ayunda who made both parents shocked.
“Ehem”
“Ehem”
“Ehem” Hana cleared her throat three times, a sign code Gabriel not to tell her it was a debt collector. Gabriel knew the code from his wife even, he also did not want to convey the truth to their little daughter.
“That's dad's friend. They just came from kampung”
“His face is evil-evil all yes father.” Ayunda laughed a little.
Ayunda asked to stop playing with his father, he again glanced at the mother to ask permission to be able to go out to play with his friends. Because it's been locked up all day in the house. In a soft voice she said “Mom may I go out to play outside with friends”
Without breeding requests from her son, Hana pretended not to hear, she went on to wipe the dust that was still attached to the frame bingakai photo of her graduation. As a result of the absence of an answer then, Ayunda turned around and asked permission from his father but, Gabriel replied by saying “Only mother can give permission.” Instantly the voice that had been soft immediately turned into a lemongrass accompanied by tears flowing on his cheeks.
“Still crying in the morning. Shy tau”
“This is still morning, later in the afternoon you can play outside” Gabriel said as if giving platinum tickets to his son. Ayunda was happy to have her face cheerful again because there was permission from her father. But not with mom.
“Can't, he must stay inside the house. The weather outside is not good for children their age.”
When the word reached Ayunda's ears, his cherry face was instantly dashed.
“What mom said was true. He doesn't want you to fall sick so he forbids you to come out.” Gabriel tried to persuade his son.
“Today father did not go to work so, he can accompany you to play as much.”
Ayunda smiled happily, hearing that her father did not go to work. Because at first he thought that his father would go to work even though, it's Sunday.
So like yesterday, Ayunda went to take all his games in the room. He put the toys in a medium-sized organizer box. He pushed it out like a bunch of people were pushing a car on strike. In the end Gabriel plays with his son, all the toys are played even after his father is bored, he uses his father as a new toy. What Gabriel did was just accept.
