Tukijo was silent for a moment. Then, he went out to see who was talking. However, the boy did not find anyone in front of the class."What's wrong Jo?" Cecep asked."Ah, it's nothing. I thought someone called me," he explained, scratching his head."Hurry up, Jo! There's only one line left! In five minutes the teacher will enter class," shouted Sutrisno, hoping that Tukijo would quickly finish discussing the problem."Okay, I am sorry." Tukijo closed the classroom door again and took a marker to continue his discussion on the blackboard. He explained formula after formula until the friends in front of him really understood.3 minutes later.Cheklik!Someone opened the classroom door. Behind the door, a man was seen wearing a green and brown service suit carrying a black bag on his shoulder. He is Mr. Fuad (Mathematics Teacher). "Wow! Are you guys still studying?" he said."Yes Mr." Tukijo smiled with a slight bow."Uh, you're from science class, right?" asked Mr. Fuad."That's right
"If I say yes, neither you nor Tukijo will have any evidence to sue me. Poor Tukijo will still lose his job. I want to see how he lives in the future," said Udin, grinning."Buahahahaa." Cecep, who knew the fact that Tukijo was a conglomerate, heard Udin's words and made him laugh."Oh, so you were the culprit, Udin?" Tukijo stepped over to Udin and Markonah.Udin turned his face sourly. He didn't say a word to answer Tukijo's question. "Heh, you think I will open my mouth in front of you?" he muttered gritting his teeth."Hey! Din! Din! Din! Din! Haha, it's like the sound of a horn," joked Cecep. "It's better if you just give up. You're jealous, right, because Markonah is closer to Tukijo. Moreover, our classmates, including me, have always been close to Tukijo lately, which will definitely make your heart hotter. Haha," he said defending Tukijo.It's true what Cecep said. When he saw Tukijo close to Markonah, Udin's heart felt like it was burning, his head was boiling, plus the clas
"Kijo ...!" Cecep shouted for Tukijo. "I ordered you to buy watermelon flavored milk, why did you give me the strawberry milk?!" Cecep threw the milk on Tukijo's face until the bottle was denteding. A snub nose, becoming flatters and swollen blue. "Ugh," Tukijo groaned holding his face. "Idiot! Already poor, stupid!" Cecep snapped grabbing Tukijo's hair. Tukijo just looked down with messy hair. He was wearing shabby clothes while holding the pain on his face. However, Tukijo's dirty face managed to cover the bruises on his nose. "I don't want to know! This milk, I consider debt. So, you owe me ten thousand, you understand?!" Then Cecep went outside the classroom. Tukijo looked here and there to make sure Cecep left, the dirty boy cheered, "Yes, I'm free!" He raised his hand. "Tch! Cecep stupid! Cheater! Quadratic idiot! Cuh!" Tukijo sneered without spitting. In reality he just kept quiet and agreed with Cecep's words, when in front of him. Tukijo is a poor orphan who was raise
After a long wait, finally Mrs. Sulastri came to class. She started distributing the test questions on the chapter on temperature and heat. Cecep threw a crumpled paper on Tukijo's desk. Then Tukijo opened the paper. Paper content: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. ANSWER ALL! "Crazy! Cecep is not half-hearted to cheat." Tukijo grumbled. Hearing Tukijo's grumbling, Markonah who was sitting in front of him muttered, "Tsk ... he wants to use you, idiot!." Markonah is a tomboyish girl, but beautiful, sweet and adorable. Her face is always cheerful as if the shin sun. Her appearance was as tough a blooming white rose making the men couldn't stop staring at her. But, her ingrained nonchalant nature makes it difficult for every man to approach her. She tends to be alone rather than hanging out with his friends. The girl is the daughter of the owner of a bakery located at the Mojing Crossroad, to be precise next to Mas Agus Restaurant. Unexpectedly, Udin, who was the class cham
Tukijo was awakened by the sound of the bell. The bell rang three times, signaling it was time to go home. He glanced at the clock on the wall that read 01.00 pm Western Indonesian Time. The boy was shocked, and immediately got up out of the school health unit to his class."Oh no, I have to hurry to the restaurant!" Tukijo muttered. He ran to class without paying any attention to anyone.After arriving in class, he found his bag and books scattered on the floor. Shoe stamps everywhere. Not only that, the seats and tables are also full of markers, including; POOR CHILDREN ARE BETTER TO DIE, UGLY AND POOR IS BANNED ALIVE, and IDIOT.Tukijo crouched to tidy up his bag and scattered books. Suddenly, Udin appeared leaning his shoulder in the doorway of the classroom. "Poor fate for you, Tukijo. Haha ...," he mocked. Then, Udin disappeared like a jelangkung¹. He came even though he wasn't invited, then he too just left.While Tukijo was cleaning his desk,
"Ugh," Tukijo woke up and saw a luxury car stop beside him. Out came a beautiful, elegant woman with long flowing hair, accompanied by a bodyguard and her driver.She is Ningsih, the genius woman who managed to grow her father's company to the top. Rumors stated that she had killed her father for obtaining an inheritance, thus being branded as a violent woman.The woman took off her sunglasses and asked the driver, "Really, he lives here?""That's right, Miss. His name is Tukijo," answered Teguh (Ningsih's driver) while showing the young man's photo on his cellphone.Ningsih just realized that in front of her there was a man lying on the road, he was trying to get up. The man was wearing a scout uniform. Beside him was an ontel bicycle leaning against a tree and a school bag on the basket.Then Ningsih came to the man, then squatted down and stretched out his hand. "Want me to help?" bargained Ningsih.Tukijo lifted his head to l
Seeing Tukijo's body full of wounds, Muhiroh said, "Oh my God, Tukijo! Why is your body covered with wounds like this?" His shriveled hand gently touched Tukijo's face."Sorry Grandma. Earlier, my bicycle was hit by a truck, so I fell unconscious," replied Tukijo a little nervously.After treating Tukijo's wound, Ningsih heard her little brother's stomach protesting. She immediately went out to meet Teguh. The man was standing, leaning his back against the car."Teguh! Buy five servings of food. Oh, no. Buy six!" Ningsih orders."Yes, Miss," Teguh got into the car and left to carry out orders.A few moments later."Sorry, Miss, I only found this food on the road," said Teguh, handing him two plastic bags containing three packs of rice each."Yeah, it's okay.""Here are two servings for you." Ningsih handed Tukijo two packets of rice. "You have to eat a lot to make your body fuller.""Thank you, lady!" s
The next day, at exactly 07.00 am West Indonesia Time, Ningsih came to Tukijo's house in her luxury car with Teguh and Marno. "Jo! Come on up!" Ningsih invites Tukijo who is standing in front of his house ready to go. Then, he got into the car and sat in the back with his sister. "Where are you working?" Ningsih asked. "The Mas Agus Restaurant is located at the Mojing Crossroad." "Let's go!" Ningsih's orders to Teguh. "Okay Miss." "Marno, you will replace Tukijo later, okay?" "Ready to execute!" Marno replied. "Erm, Sis. Can I ask you something?" said Tukijo a little doubtfully. "What?" "Please keep it a secret, that I have a relationship with someone from the Gaje Company. You are very famous, Big Bro Agus must recognize you." Tukijo put on a pitiful face pleading with his brother. "We have arrived at Mas Agus Restaurant, Miss," Teguh interrupted. Ningsih did not respond to Tukijo's request. It made him feel frustrated. "Ouch, how's this?" Tukijo muttered, biting his finge
"If I say yes, neither you nor Tukijo will have any evidence to sue me. Poor Tukijo will still lose his job. I want to see how he lives in the future," said Udin, grinning."Buahahahaa." Cecep, who knew the fact that Tukijo was a conglomerate, heard Udin's words and made him laugh."Oh, so you were the culprit, Udin?" Tukijo stepped over to Udin and Markonah.Udin turned his face sourly. He didn't say a word to answer Tukijo's question.

Finally, the four people were temporarily detained by the police. Tukijo followed Marno to the Pricilia Medical Center Hospital followed by Ningsih, while village head and the others visited Joko's base to seek clarity.At the hospital, Tukijo felt sorry for the disaster that had befallen Agus. Agus looks helpless. The business he started for years when he was 20 years old has come to an end."Big Bro Agus!" Tukijo scolded, patting Agus's shoulder, who was looking down to mourn his fate.The man turned his head, his face looked tired with puffy eye bags. "What's wrong Jo?" he answered quietly.Tukijo sat beside him. Then he took a thick brown envelope from his pocket and held it in Agus's hand. "Here, Sir, for capital back for your business."Agus received the envelope, then opened its contents. How surprised the man was to see a thick stack of hundreds of thousands of bills inside. "This... is a lot Jo!""Just accept it, it's all for you, Sir. Actually, you already knew my identity fr
"Stop sir!" Tukijo exclaimed suddenly.Chekeeeet!The driver stepped on the brakes to stop the car at the Mojing intersection."Oh my gosh! Come on Jo, come down quickly!" said Ningsih seeing the fire devouring Mas Agus Restaurant.There, Marno was seen carrying Agus out of the smoke of the rising fire. The man on Marno's back was unconscious with a slight burn on his arm.Ningsih motioned for Marno to get into the CarGer car carrying Agus. "Sir, please take them to the nearest hospital. IMMEDIATELY!" The woman handed over three hundred thousand bills.Tukijo realized that Markonah and her father were at the scene helping to put out the fire. "Oh yes! Big Sis! What will happen if Markonah meets—." Tukijo turned his head and didn't find Ningsih beside him. His Sister disappeared as if she had been swallowed by the earth."Oh! Where are you going, Big Sister?" he muttered while looking for the woman. "Even though you were here, did you go with Big Bro Marno? But it doesn't seem like it,
"Come on in and treat your wounds!" Ningsih grabbed Tukijo's hand and dragged him inside.How happy Sugeng's heart was when he met the idol. His eyes remained fixed on the woman without blinking at all.Without Sugeng realizing it, he stepped out following Ningsih and Tukijo."I'm sorry, Big Sister," said Tukijo, stopping."Oh, I saw Tukijo with Markonah earlier. Maybe he found it difficult to contact you, because that girl was there, Lady," interrupted Sugeng."Oh, so that's because she's there?" Ningsih asked.Tukijo nodded shyly."Aaaaaaaargh!" Suddenly a scream was heard."That's Cecep's father!" said Sugeng, immediately looking for the source of the voice.Tukijo followed Sugeng. This time he was the one who pulled and took his sister by the hand."Hey, you have to treat your wounds first." Ningsih restrains Tukijo."I'm fine, Big Sis, I just get trampled on by skinny people. Haha," answered Tukijo lightly with a little laugh."Really?" Ningsih's eyes were worried."Yes," he said
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
"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
"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.
"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
