After dinner, Yandri and I spent time together in front of the television with a coffee glass in each hand. Mas Yandri told me that next week there will be a handover from the old branch head. I was asked to attend the event.
For a while, we talked about random things. Until finally, I told her about Jejen's visit.
"Mas believes really, Neng can easily face Bu Jejen," Mas Yandri laughed as I finished telling the story.
"Neng take care of himself while at home. Although it is said that the neighbors are the closest family, but still be careful too."
I nodded in agreement.

Mothers at the greengrocer stared at my arrival. Something is different from their view. Some who were standing some distance away, saw me while whispering. I knew right away, this must have something to do with Jejen's arrival yesterday.
Without caring about it all, I remained friendly to them. After I finished shopping at the greengrocer, I took my foot to the nearest stall to buy stock coffee and instant noodles. It was seen that Jejen and his gang were sitting on the bench of the stall.
My smile was ignored by some of the shop-going mothers. Only the shop owners remain friendly.
"Just know me, the young man is now arrogant!" mom Romlah's voice entered my eardrum.
I smiled in my heart, apparently they wanted to play crackle.
Actually I'm done shopping. However, curiosity made me pick up the fritters and sit together.
For a long time no one spoke, until Mumun finally opened his voice.
"Re! You didn't know that you made Bu Jejen cry yesterday! You're evil!"
Oh wow, I just enjoyed one fry when the braking has started.
"Yes, are you the same old man not so polite?!"
"Take care of everything else!"
"Ngatain Bu Jejen is poor too right?!"
"If you don't want to help, don't insult!"
"Young people are now morally poor!"
"I think the guy's friendly, he knows judes!"
The words came out of the mouths of the stall visitors who incidentally still my neighbors.
"Where do mothers know?" my many. I was surprised because the story was far from reality.
"On Whatsapp group! Our block has WA Group. Yesterday Mrs Jejen confided in you, Re!" Ma Mumun replied.
Okay, something's not right. All right, let's get this straight.
"Free! You are in the group also will not be able to read Bu Jejen's curse yesterday." Miss Romlah looks at me cynically.
"You're going to dodge, right?! We already know, your rich type of man will not want to admit mistakes!"
"No, Miss Romlah, I entered the group to make sure that Ms. Jejen apologized properly," I smiled as I looked at Ms. Jejen.
The woman was caught stealing a glance at me. After that, he looked down again and put on a sad look. Looks like he's acting.
"Mumpung Bu Jejen and Neng Rere are here. We'd better solve the problems that were circulating in the group yesterday." The shop owner's mother said softly.
"I'm sorry, but I don't want to interfere. It just so happens that you two are here, so from the news that spreads more and more, we finish up here."
I nodded in understanding. "Please explain ma'am, what is the story?" I asked the shop owner's mother.
"Yesterday afternoon Mrs Jejen confided in a group of residents. He said he had come to Neng Rere's house to borrow money. But, Neng Rere in addition to refusing also berated and expelled Bu Jejen. In fact, when he told Bu Jejen to get out of the house, Neng also pushed him to fall." The mother explained carefully.
I stared for a while until I finally laughed. So this is how you play. All righty!
I stood up and moved to sit right in front of Jejen's mom. My eyes still see his face down.
"Bu Jejen," call me.
The woman remained silent and ignored my call
"Bu Jejen seriously did this to me? We both know exactly how it happened yesterday. Why is the story so different gini?"
The person in front of me didn't hear what I said.
"Udah dong Re, you don't miss Bu Jejen! Cassian she is, you keep evil!"
"Bu Mumun knows what the exact events are like?" I turned my face to the source of the voice that just asked.
"It's just that if you don't know, you better be diem. Than to be embarrassed. Yakan?" My words apparently pecked the anger of Jejen's bu gang members.
"That's what Bu Jejen said! You're not as polite as the older ones!"
I breathed slowly over and over again to ease the anger. My body is facing Jejen.
"Bu Jejen, in my house there is CCTV."
My words made Jejen's mom raise her face. Same with the faces of other mothers.
"In my house there is CCTV. I look forward to clarifying the true story of my mother, as well as an apology. If not, there are only two things I will do. Notifying the original video from CCTV to residents or directly to the police station. Mom has 1 X 24 hours before I act. I'm waiting for mom's good faith."
I was silent for a moment to observe Jejen's reaction. I lie. The truth is, I was luring him to open his mouth. I can assure you, there's no CCTV in my house. There aren't.
I stood up and intended to go home. It feels bad to have to explain yourself. Just let Ms. Jejen finish what she started. After paying for the fried food I ate to the shop mother, I said goodbye to everyone present and walked away.
