Then Joko replied....
"All right then deck.!! Now I will take a shower first and change clothes, only after that I will deliver the invitation.!!"
Said Mr. Joko to Mr. Hartono.
Then Mr. Hartono responded to Mr. Joko's remarks....
"Please mas.!!"
Said Mr. Hartono to Mr. Joko, while giving sheets of invitation letters to him.
Then Mr. Joko immediately went to take a shower and changed clothes, then after that did not forget Mr. Joko immediately distributed the invitation letter to the workers first. Because it just so happened that day was Saturday, so tomorrow they were all off work. So to make it easier, then Mr. Joko gave the invitation to the workers at that time, while telling them all so that they could all attend the invitation from Mr. Hartono. And it just so happens that the event will take place on Monday night. After Mr. Joko finished distributing the invitation letter to the workers, he went straight to his son's house or daughter-in-law in the next village, to deliver or provide an invitation letter from Mr. Hartono who has been mandated to him, by riding his motorcycle.
While Mr. Hartono himself, he immediately circulated an invitation letter to his neighbors. And indeed because the invitation is more than the previous one, then Mr. Hartono is not only his closest neighbor who was invited, but Mr. Hartono also invited some of his friends. Including Mr. Hartono headed to the elementary school where his late wife used to teach. The purpose of Mr. Hartono to go to the school is; intends to invite all teachers who teach at the school. And it just so happened that all the teachers in the school at that time numbered 10 people, including a teacher who rented the house of Sumiatun Mother "his wife." Then he found out when Mr. Hartono invited the teachers who were at the school, and the teacher who rented the house from Sumiatun's mother was also there, then Mr. Hartono immediately called Mr. Joko, to tell Mr. Joko to cancel inviting the teacher. Because he was invited by himself at school. Then after Mr. Hartono finished inviting the teachers, then he immediately went home.
Then when he arrived at home, Mr. Hartono immediately met his wife. Then Mr. Hartono invited his wife to come with him to the grave of the late mother of Farida, for a pilgrimage or pilgrimage. Then then Sumiatun's mother accepted the invitation from her husband, and then they both immediately went to the grave of the late mother Farida to make a pilgrimage to the tomb.
While Mr. Joko who was also at his son's house at that time, he immediately met his son. And it just so happened that his son-in-law was also at home, because it was Saturday, so his daughter-in-law was indeed on holiday. Keep Pak Joko directly talking to the child and his daughter-in-law, while holding his grandson, the son of "Ratna" the son of Joko sir.
Then Joko spoke....
"So this is nduk.!! You are here because you have a duty from Mr. Hartono, that is, that you send this invitation letter to your husband.!! Because it just so happened that Mr. Hartono invited your husband "Luck.!! Mr. Hartono invited you, because he will hold a memorial tomorrow night in order to commemorate the 100th day of the death of Farida's mother the wife of Mr. Hartono. So I hope that Untung can attend the invitation of Pak Harto.!! And one more.!! There is a message from your mother and your aunt, Sumiatun's mother, if you can nduk, especially make the needs related to the event
!! Whether it's making a cake, or cooking rice, or cooking something else.!! It was a message from the meeting of Sumiatun's mother and your mother.!! Yep.... If you have time, or get permission from your husband now.!? If you come now with me, it's okay.!! Or at least tomorrow is also okay, with your husband escort Untung.!? because the execution itself takes place tomorrow night.!!How's Ratna.??"
Ask Joko to his son.
Ratna the boy replied....

So tomorrow let me ask for anterin just as good.!! so tomorrow morning I will be there, and even if tomorrow it's a little night, it's okay.!! Kan tomorrow night Untung mas will be there, fulfilling the invitation from Mr. Hartono.!! So lucky mas came home later, I went with the lucky mas home.!! It's good sir.!?"
Said his son to Mr. Joko.
Then Mr. Joko said again....
Said Mr. Joko to the Ratna, while offering a package to Ratna....
Then the son and daughter-in-law asked the father....
"What is that, sir.??"
Never mind.... Just accept it.!! That father and mother have sustenance.!! Coincidentally the other day, the harvest of catfish owned by Pak Hartono was again successful and managed to penetrate the target with the maximum. So in addition to the catfish is good, the selling time price is also good. So I was given a bonus by Mr. Hartono.!! So I leave the bonus to you, to be used by you and your family, for any purpose.!! The important thing is to use it well.!! That's just a message from my father.!!"
Said Joko sir to the child and his daughter-in-law.
Said Mr. Joko....
After a while later.... Because it was enough, then Mr. Joko immediately said goodbye to return to the house of Mr. Hartono to his son and daughter-in-law.
Mr. Joko said....
"All right then.... Because I think it is enough, then you will soon return to Mr. Hartono's house.!! And remember carefully the message of the Father, take good care of the grandson of this Father.!!"
Said Mr. Joko to his son, while releasing his grandson from his lap and said hello....
"Assynolodet.!!"
Then the son and daughter-in-law answered....
"Goddessalam.!! Be careful, sir.!!"
Then Mr. Joko immediately stepped out of the house, and went straight to his motorcycle, then he immediately went back to Mr. Hartono's house.
Then after Mr. Joko had left, Ratna and her husband went back into the house. And they immediately opened the package that was given by his father. So they immediately sat on the living room chair of the house, while opening the package together. After the package was opened, they were shocked and could not believe what they saw.... It turns out that the package contains as much as 10 million money.Knowing that much money was handed over by his father, then they momentarily fell silent and looked at each other. because for them, the money was quite a lot. After all, Mr. Joko has never given them that much money. Yes.. understand it, because indeed Mr. Joko since they gathered together they are known to have no permanent job, only odd jobs. While Untung certainly Mr. Joko himself, did work in the district government to become PNS, but only subordinate employees, then the honor was not so great. So what was found that day, for them, was an extraordinary gift. So when they knew and counted the money, they immediately gave thanks with the words "Alhamdulillah....!!"
Then they both hugged each other as a sign of pleasure and gratitude, because they had earned a lot of sustenance.
Indeed, the money given to his son by Mr. Joko, is bonus money from Mr. Hartono who some time ago given to Mr. Joko as a token of gratitude from Mr. Hartono. Because Pak Joko is considered successful and successful in caring for his catfish well. And thanks to the success of Pak Joko in caring for catfish owned by Pak Hartono, it was proven after the fish was harvested. Catfish results from the care of Pak Joko is indeed up to standard. In addition to catfish the quality is good with abundant results, after all at that time the price of catfish is quite expensive. So thanks to that success, then Mr. Hartono did not hesitate to give a bonus to Mr. Joko, which is in the form of 10 million money. And that's beyond the pay of both of them. So aside from the 10 million bonus, Pak Joko and his wife, Sumarni's mother, of course, in working at Pak Harto's house, they were both paid. And their salary is 100,000 per day. So apart from the money given to his son, Mr. Joko and Sumarni's mother are now quite a lot of money. Because indeed they both work at home is not cut food money. Because of the affairs of eating, they were not taken into account by Mr. Hartono and Sumiatun's mother. So their whole salary is 100,000 per day, and per person. And the salary from his work, by Pak Joko and Sumarni's mother saved. Because they have goals, that is, they want to be like Mr. Hartono. So they want to save up to fund their grandchildren later if they have entered school, and continue their education until later to college, or if necessary until the grandson becomes a successful person. So that's why Mr. Joko and his wife save the results of their work. And the plan was deliberately kept secret by the two of them, by not telling it to the child and his daughter-in-law, as well as Sumiatun's mother. So the only ones who know the plan are the two of them, namely Mr. Joko and his wife, Sumarni's mother, while the grandson, now 6 years old. So in 1 year his grandson will enter the 1st grade in elementary school.
