He said yesterday Idrus was arrested by the police. What's true” said one gondrong in the coffee shop. An older man leaning in the corner of the shop, and seemingly feeling most appropriate to recount the chronology of the arrest of idris immediately replied, ahead of the mouths that were about to scramble to talk.
“Yesterday the number I love penetrated again. The police came not actually to arrest him, but to ask for a ration that Idris had not paid twice. Unfortunately the Idris at that time had no money because the hunt was taken loan shark”.
“In my opinion, gambling should be legalized as proposed by one of the city authorities. Many of our islands are still empty. Than not taken care of and so the seizure Neighboring Country”.
“I totally agree with your opinion. The government wants to eradicate the name of gambling, the more mushrooming of gambling. Try to imitate countries like America, Singapore, Malaysia and Germany that legalize gambling, even prostitution by placing it in special places, then it will be regular. A just society can calm down, and gamblers can freely develop their talents, even the government can also reap huge profits from the gambling business. That is if the government is no longer able to alleviate the poverty of its people. Basic electricity rates go up, BBM goes up, basic necessities go up. Who is not strangled. If this continues for a long time I want to take my wife to pawnshop”. Said one half-excited.
“Interesting too are your words. Continue what else”.
“Those law enforcement officials should also be aware of their well-being. Poor, less pay, hard work. So no wonder many apparatus so backing illegal logging”
“Praise less or indeed the eyes duitan” one menahut.
“Eh do not forget, our honorable Board is always asking for salary plus, plus facilities, pacing abroad study appeal, but still like this” said another ketus.
“If the meeting takes home pay, wuih they are so excited, but the turn of the meeting on a very important issue, related to the people, they seem half-assed. Just look if there are more meetings, most of them skip, absent and sleep during meetings”.
“Take home pay? Apaan tuh”
“ Hence read the newspaper so as not to miss the information, take home pay it raise”.
A thin man with a thin beard on his chin after listening to the talk seemed to improve his sitting position.
“Hem, in essence brothers, thickened faith is one solution eliminate all kinds of diseases of society”.
The others are silent. The other one smiled half mockingly.
“Well that's Mr. Ustadz, that way of thickening the faith that we want to know” said a young man leaning on the stake of the shop.
“A lot of miser and trust and try” he said steady.
“Free sir ustadz, I've been lecturing too often like that. And I've tried to trust and be patient, with whatever work I get, but still my life is miserable. In times like this the name of brash work is difficult, and for people like us - we are very difficult to get a job whose value can make us a family can eat perfectly, he said, three times or at least twice, and from pak ustadz know my family has finished praying because our fate has never changed also ”.
The atmosphere became silent for a moment. It doesn't feel like the night is getting late.
“Ha, his last solution like this” suddenly black-squeed old man broke the silence. “Our country does not want to apply Islamic Sharia, we better have fun. Who pray please pray. Who wants to hone the heritage of his ancestors continuously, please. Our country is a democratic country. The problem of God being angry or not, waiting can be accounted for. The important thing is that we talk about what God is, so just kok bokot”.
Loyal…..! there was a loud scream from a gentleman across the street. Everyone in the shop looked. “Si Maun kumat again”. Knock someone.
“For sure why” Ask someone
“He's crazy about togel”.
"No, not because of the lottery, but because God never wanted to change his fate. He used to be a very diligent man of worship, but he was desperate because the God he worshipped did not pay attention to him”.
The others clucked. The others nodded. Emh..dark fingers cheer, applause. The night was really dark. The baby seems to have been reluctant to include heavenly music in the blow, and thick cucumbers seem to start to feel at home covering the face of the moon that is reluctant to full.
The streets are starting to fall. Ambiance deserted. Shop owners began to close the store after one by one the customers left. The loud bells of the factory barked at night. There was a snoring from the throat of the pedicabist who was curled up without a blanket on the rickshaw. A man is heard singing while resting his body on the sidewalk. His voice was lamat-jur swallowed his drowsiness vapor. The black-fisted old man half-sloped open the zipper of his pants and started painting the bank building in the middle of the street.
Night wind cruising. Sweeping street dust. The gurgling sound of water was softly heard accompanying the night trip. In the emperor-emper shop curled up a few frail torsos holding back the cold embrace of night. The discordant voice of the woman of the night cleaves the night. Chalk up wishful thinking in every corner of the night. Leave empty chatter, for tomorrow night, the next night, the next night until the moment when there will be no more night.
“And after the tsunami come” babble women of the night.
Above the clouds, two angels peeked. Khusyu’ heard and saw the behavior of the world.
“Predicted we didn't miss. They are Distroyer, immoral, arrogant, and they feel as if the land they are treading is not the land of their Lord”. The other one just nodded while smiling half a sneer.
“We go back to planning one, tomorrow morning we startle them with a magnitude 40.5 earthquake on the Richter” scale.
“Ha? 40.5 Richter scale? Is that not too much? Nine commas on the Richter scale alone, many become insane. And don't we have to do the same thing tomorrow and tomorrow?.
“Wallahu a’lam, tasks must be carried out. Sami’na wa atha’na. which obviously we will screw-up them until the turn of the generation. Make mountains cough, landslide, melt some of the polar ice and make the earth's bottom a hot crust. If the next generation is not well mannered, wake up our friend and have him quickly blow his trumpet”.
The angel above leaves his place. Its long wings are involved in long dreams. Being immersed in a long dance is never exhausting.
