"Grandma! ... Grandma!" shouted Tukijo and Ningsih, looking for Muhiroh. They circled around Pricilia Medical Center Hospital for an hour. However, have not managed to find it.Tukijo saw many people crowding near the irrigation embankment. Suddenly a bad feeling appeared in his heart."What's with the crowd there?" said Tukijo."Where?" Ningsih asked."That's Sis, near the irrigation." Tukijo held out his index finger. "I have an uneasy feeling, Sis.""Let's see! What happened there," said Ningsih.Then they approached where the crowd was. How surprised Tukijo and Ningsih were, when they found an old grandmother whose skin was wrinkled and her hair had turned white lying on the road, her body was soaking wet. The grandmother's face was pale, and there was no sign of breathing on her body."Grandmaaaaaa ...!" Tukijo shouted while hugging her body tightly. He sobbed, his lips trembled, his tears flowed down his grandmother's body.Ningsih bowed her head down, suddenly she felt the same
Tukijo woke up wide-eyed. He was still in a sitting position with his head resting on the table. Then he stood up and looked out the window. There he meets someone talking to Tiyem, suddenly Cecep comes.Plaque!Cecep swung his hand and hit the boy. "Shut up, idiot!" he shouted.Tukijo looked at the boy sharply. "Isn't he a student of class Social Sciences 1?" he muttered.Markonah who had just returned to class after buying student worksheets at the cooperative, she saw Tukijo put on a serious face. The boy was seen staring at something out the glass window. In fact, since morning the child continues to look gloomy without the slightest smile. The girl wanted to ask what happened to him."Tukijo," whispered Markonah closer to Tukijo's ear.Tukijo felt, there was a wind into his ears. He turned his head and found Markonah beside him."Did you call me, Markonah?" asked Tukijo."No, I'm calling a fly," she snapped."Eh...." Tukijo looked around for something. "Not a single fly," he said
"He is Slamet, a member of the Bentor Gang who is famous for being merciless in asking anyone for money by force," explained Sugeng. "Ah, if only I recorded the incident yesterday. I don't think that he will blame Si Cecep." "Even though Cecep is rude and likes to bully, he is picky. The boy never forced money from old women, let alone grandmothers," said Tiyem. "Tch! You say that in front of Tukijo, while he makes Tukijo's maid every day. Don't you think about his feelings?" argued Markonah. "Hopefully after this incident he will learn a lot of lessons." "What are your plans to prove that Slamet killed my grandmother?" Tukijo asked Sugeng. "Tiyem will infiltrate the Bentor Gang headquarters to dig up information and record their every word," he added. "What? Why does it have to be me?" Tiyem avoided it. "Because Mr. Bahar is interested in you. You know Mr. Bahar right?" said Sugeng."You're telling me to approach that disgusting person?" Tiyem asked. "We don't have any other wa
"Eh, emm ...." Sutrisno was silent. "Oh no, how is this?" He felt scared. If he said the wrong thing, the woman in front of him might turn him into a cracker."Miss, everything is settled," said Marno, reporting that the Bentor Gang members' rubbish had been cleaned up. Cecep, as the presumptive innocent, has been acquitted."Okay, let's go! Our business is finished," asked Ningsih. Then they left without a word.“Sigh ....” Sutrisno stroked his chest and breathed a sigh of relief."Tukijo! Your shirt?" Tiyem shouted, making the three people stop walking.Tukijo turned his head. "Take for you, I have some," answered Tukijo. The sweat dripping down his forehead made the boy's cold expression look cool, making Tiyem stunned."Oh my gosh... wake up Tiyem, he's Tukijo!" Tiyem muttered, looking away to hide herself.Since then, Sugeng, Trisno, Tiyem, and all the pedicab gang members have viewed Tukijo as a figure who must be respected because he has a relationship with the mysterious woman
"Why, Jo?" Tiyem asked."Oh, it's okay, Tiyem. It's just that later I will have a good idea for the welfare of your gang," said Tukijo. Finally, he still took the mendoan that was in front of him. "Before Cecep pays, I have to go before him," thought Tukijo."Gang welfare? What idea?" asked Tiyem tilting her head."Yes, I'll tell you later," answered Tukijo.When Tukijo was looking at the class XII corridor, he accidentally came across two brothers Jono and Joni following Markonah behind her.Tukijo got up and walked over to Mrs. Badrun. "Ma'am, how much did everyone pay in total?" Tukijo asked in a whisper."Three hundred and thirty-three thousand, boy..." answered Mrs. Badrun.Tukijo took out three hundred and fifty thousand in cash and gave it to Mrs. Badrun. "Here ma'am, just take the change.""Thank you very much, boy," said Mrs. Badrun smiling."You're welcome, ma'am," replied Tukijo.Then the boy left the canteen. "Cep, I'll go to class first okay ...." Tukijo patted Cecep on th
"Of course I'm serious," said Tukijo folding his arms. "You just have to say whether you agree or not.""I agree!" Sutrisno exclaimed."I agree too!""Agree."Finally, all the members of the Pedicab Gang agreed to Tukijo's offer."Okay! Then, I will make a letter of agreement," said Tukijo. "Take this! I have money left over from paying for the meal earlier." He gave a fistful of nine hundred thousand rupiah into Cecep's hand."This... what is it for, Jo?" Cecep asked."That's as a down payment to prove that I'm not playing around," he answered. "You can divide it equally among all your members."Actually, Tukijo just wanted to test Cecep, whether he really deserved to be trusted as a leader. If he is not a fair person, of course the boy will make a lot of profit for himself.However, Tukijo actually saw Cecep distributing the money without hesitation. Each child gets fifty thousand rupiah. In the past, Tukijo thought that Cecep was a person who liked to behave in an arbitrary manner.
"Oh, Young Mas—...""Shh." Tukijo interrupted Marno's words and indicated that there was someone behind him. Marno nodded."What happened to Mas Agus Restaurant, Bro?" Tukijo asked."Earlier, several people suddenly came. They were causing trouble when the restaurant was busy. As a result, because of their actions, the visitors were afraid," he explained."Then, where is Mas Agus?" Tukijo asked."Mas Agus suspects that this is the work of his rival, namely Joko, the meatball seller who is in front of the KUD Building. He went to that person and asked him to compete fairly," explained Marno."Alone?" said Tukijo in a slightly high tone."Ah, yes... my goodness. I didn't think something could happen to him." Marno put down the broom he was holding and hurried away with Tukijo to catch up with Agus."Jo, I'll come with you, please..." asked Markonah."No, Markonah," said Tukijo.Markonah pouted because she felt she was considered weak."Eh, okay, come on!" Finally Tukijo was forced to agr
After school, after the kids had dispersed, Cecep lay down on the floor in class XII Social Sciences 1 to gather with his gang. The boy thought, maybe it was time for him to stop from the world of bullying. His mind was racing, if Tukijo's offer was true, of course he would prefer the peaceful path.For the past few years, three years or less five months to be exact, since Cecep entered high school, he started carrying out the profession of being a boy who likes to ask for money by force. At first, he was forced to take up this profession to pay school fees. His father was a sickly pedicab driver, while his mother was just a household assistant. The salary she earned was only enough for his father's treatment. Cecep was not one of the children who excelled so he could not get a scholarship. He was just a child who was lucky enough to enter his favorite high school with a below average IQ.The boy started forming gangs when he was in eleventh grade. At that time, the gang only consisted
