"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 look at the woman. He felt the woman before him was very familiar. In the end, he grabbed Ningsih's outstretched hand, then stood up thanks to her.Teguh, who was still holding his cell phone, saw the man in front of his employer was very similar to the photo on his cellphone."Miss!" shouted Teguh approaching Ningsih. He shows his cell phone. "See, Miss! He really looks like him."Ningsih looked at Teguh's cellphone while glancing at Tukijo several times. "Is your name Tukijo and your mother Siti Hayati?" Ningsih asked."Yes," he answered. How could this lady know my name? Tukijo thought.Without thinking, Ningsih immediately hugged him and said, "Finally, I found you.""Aargh," groaned Tukijo feeling pain all over his body."Ah, sorry. I'm too happy to meet you," said Ningsih, releasing her hug.Tukijo said, "Aren't you that woman ...""Who is that woman?" interrupted Ningsih quickly."A woman whose face is often featured in newspapers and media. According to rumors, the woman has killed her father for inheriting.""Do you believe the rumors?""I don't know, I'm too busy with my problems.""Your problem ..." Ningsih stopped speechless. He was holding Tukijo's cheek, which looked like it was just bone wrapped in skin. "Oh my, you are so skinny. Who tortured you like this?" Ningsih saw the bruises on Tukijo's face."Excuse me, why are you doing this to me? I don't even know you." Tukijo pushed Ningsih's hand away."You are my little brother, would it be wrong if I hugged you and watched you?" Ningsih sighed and said again, "I traveled all the way from Jakarta to Cilacap just to look for you, and it wasn't easy. I searched for you from every sub-district to sub-district, village to village, from street to street, alley to alley for a month and so on. Finally, I found you.""What? Are you kidding me?" asked Tukijo doubtfully.Ningsih pushed Tukijo's hair back. She saw his filthy face, dull and full of bruises."I'll explain later. Let's go to the hospital and treat your wound!" Ningsih grabbed Tukijo's wrist and pulled him into the car."Wait!" Tukijo restrained the woman. He reached into his trouser pocket. "Noooo! My one-week salary, it's sold out! Damn it!" Tukijo gritted his teeth and clenched his fists. "Just watch. I'll get back at you.""What happened?" Ningsih asked."Ah, it's okay. It's just, I have to go home soon. Grandma is waiting for me, she must be worried about me.""Then let's go home and meet your grandma!" said Ningsih. "Teguh, please buy medicine for him!"Then Ningsih helped Tukijo walk to the house, while her bodyguard, Marno, brought Tukijo's bicycle.Finally, they arrived at a house made of woven bamboo with wooden poles. "Tukijo!" exclaimed an old grandmother who was standing in front of the house. She is Tukijo's grandmother, Muhiroh.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
After buying the cell phone, Ningsih and Tukijo went to the shopping center. They buy uniforms, bags and other school supplies."Come here, Jo! Try this!" Ningsih's right hand holds a white striped t-shirt, while in her left hand she holds a gray jacket.Tukijo, who was busy trying out a new cellphone, immediately put it away and approached his sister.After a while, Tukijo exited the changing room."Wow!" Ningsih said amazed. "This is just cool! Try it, you look at it!" Ningsih turned Tukijo around and pushed him closer to the mirror.Tukijo was dumbfounded looking at himself in the mirror. "It's me?" he said."Yeah," Ningsih answered proudly.Tukijo looked at the set of glasses that lay on the table. Seeing that, Ningsih asked, "Do you need glasses?""Um, my eyes feel dizzy, when I see the writing on the blackboard from the back seat," replied Tukijo."Okay, we'll take some," Ningsih said."S
"Order five portions, please wrap the two portions. You'll take one later," Ningsih said to Marno. "Oh yeah, don't forget to add two iced tea, okay...."Marno immediately went to prepare the dish.A few minutes later."Wow...!" said Tukijo in amazement.They ate it voraciously."Tukijo, what you said to your grandma was a lie, right?" Ningsih asked suddenly.Tukijo was shocked. He almost choked on his food. "Cough...." He grabbed his drink then responded to his sister's words, "Um... yes Big Sis, I just don't want to make grandma worry." The young man bowed his head."So, what made you so battered that you lay on the road like that?" Ningsih asked with a serious face."Emm, it's Sis ... um ... I ...""Are you being bullied?" cut Ningsih quickly with sharp eyes.Tukijo was silent."So, right?" Ningsih insisted."Yes Sis," replied Tukijo finally opening his mouth."Sinc
Tukijo was shocked. Instantly his vision was blurred. "Ah, yes Sis ... sorry," he said."What's wrong with you, Jo? Suddenly daydreaming. See the moms hanging out?" joked Ningsih. In fact, Ningsih knew that Tukijo had been transfixed by the sight of a girl delivering boxes."Ish ... it's no use, I see the mothers hang out," he objected."So, what are you dreaming about?" asked Ningsih pretending not to know."Eh ... that ... I saw a classmate of mine passing by on a motorbike," replied Tukijo."Oh, so the girl from earlier was your classmate. She's beautiful too," Ningsih praised."Yeah, she's pretty ... but ignorant." Tukijo snorted."Pfft. Do you like that girl?" asked Ningsih spontaneously."Wh ... who likes her!" Tukijo hid his blushing face by pretending to wipe the sweat off his forehead."Hmm ...." Ningsih wrinkled her forehead, her eyes probed Tukijo's behavior. "Okay, let's continue practicing."They practice until the sun is directly overhead. The scorching heat of the sun ma
Monday, Tukijo started school with his new look. Before he left for school, Ningsih came with all her belongings."I'll help you, Big Sis," Tukijo offered."No need. You go to school there! You'll be late. Hmm, or do you want Teguh to take you by car?" said Ningsih as she unloaded her things in front of Tukijo's house."I ... just leave now, thanks for the offer." Tukijo left Ningsih immediately. "It could be bad if one school finds out I'm leaving by car," he muttered.After arriving at school, Tukijo put his bicycle in the parking lot near a wooden pole."Whoa! Who's that?""I guess he's new. I've never seen him.""So handsome. I'm sure he will be the first handsome male candidate in Maos 1 State High School."Eh, how about we try to approach him? Maybe we can get his number. Xixixi.""Come on!"Two students whispered to each other seeing Tukijo's new appearance. As they were about to approach Tukijo, someone preceded them."Tukijo!" someone shouted from behind approaching him."So,
Udin, who was still in a kneeling position, looked at the person from toe to his partially grayed hair. He is Hartono (Markonah's father).While Udin was distracted by Hartono, Markonah took a glass on the shelf, then stepped into a gallon of water that was perched next to the cashier's table. Since lunch, she hasn't drunk a single sip of water, so she feels very thirsty."You ...""I'm her father, what do you want?" interrupted Hartono cutting Udin's words. He pursed his lips and his eyes glared at Udin."Father-in-law!" cried Udin crawling closer to him."Who is your father-in-law?" Hartono argued.Udin hugged Hartono's knees. "Father-in-law, bless my relationship with Markonah, please don't separate us! We sincerely love each other," he whined.Markonah gasped, spouting water from her mouth."Are you crazy!?" said Markonah."Yeah, I'm so crazy about you." Udin clenched his hands on his chest looking at Markonah."Oh my God, what's wrong with this kid?" mumbled Markonah, frowning.H
Markonah gasped, she was surprised by Cecep's sudden question."Cough! It's still morning already dating. Come on Cep! Why did you even stop? Don't bother them!" cried Tiyem patting Cecep's shoulder.Then they went to park the motorbike and went straight to class without looking at Markonah again."Pffft...." Markonah laughed covering her mouth."Dating? What did they mean?" Tukijo scratched his head, he didn't understand what Cecep and Tiyem were saying."Never mind, don't think about it. Let's go to class! They will be surprised when you enter class later," said Markonah smiling."I want to stop by the administration room. You go to class first!" said Tukijo."Yeah, let's go together!" invite Markonah."What? Really? Do you want to wait for me?" said Tukijo widening his eyes."No! We're just walking together. Why should I wait for something that isn't certain? I'll accompany you to the fork in the caridor, in front of the Social Sciences Laboratory"Then, they walked side by side. A
"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
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
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
