Transmigration: The Promise of Echoes
CHAPTER 13 ~ SIM B1 ~

Over time, the growth of the Lastri business is very satisfying. Thanks to Armen, he has been able to set the palm harvest pattern of his loyal customers. Starting twice a week, now Lastri has a schedule three times in one week. There are times even four times in one week when the garden of his adoptive parents who harvest.

More and more garden owners are willing to sell their garden through Lastri. Because he always makes sales according to the price of them. Usually their factory buying price info gets by word of mouth. 

Without them knowing there are times when Lastri bring the fruit to mini SMEs when the purchase price of the fruit does not differ much. Automatic is an advantage for Lastri, although not much. The distance of the new subscription plant is indeed closer, there are savings in the fuel sector.

Lastri is eager to get a contract from PKS mini exclusively. Based on information from Mulyanto, the mini PKS has been modified. At the beginning of the development only had a production capacity of ten tons of FFB per day. But since the additional boiler is installed, the production capacity can be increased to thirty tons of palm fruit bunches per day. 

Purely astonished not usually Lastri has not yet left for the garden. They just seem to be busy with their laptop. Lastri was entering the daily harvest data just as Armen had requested. They want to create data that can describe the harvest cycle by month and tonnage.  

"Not going yet?"

"Today's the beginning that replaced Lastri, Mom!"

"Why?" 

"He asked for it often!"

"Kok that?"

"She's been two weeks no longer on the road!"

Awaludin or commonly called Awal, former Wasis kenek. He bought an old Wasis truck. Also replace the position of Wasis to be a driver on the lapak that Lastri had visited. If the condition is normal, Early often get a load from the stall. Although it must be admitted that the intended factory has a long distance.

"Pity is he too?"

"Yes, Mom."

"Why didn't you invite him to join?" 

"How is Mum!"

"Yes, make him a driver, let you be more at home!"

"Later Mom yes, if Lastri becomes a supplier of mini factory!"

"You still interested in it?"

"Yes Mom, but later!"

"Thankfully you haven't already, try it? Purely imagine the difficulty of Lastri in meeting the fruit target requested by the factory per day. 

Right, it's time for Lastri to feel what people say track season. Drought causes palm fruit in general not much fruit. Then the laws of economics. When the drought like that time, especially the long dry price of fresh fruit bunches will be very high. 

Many factories raise the purchase price of fresh fruit bunches from farmers. They do it to scramble for raw materials. In order to continue to produce of course.

Big factories tend not to matter. Especially those who have their own oil palm plantations or plasma. As for factories that are less powerful capital and smaller, will prefer to setop production. They prefer temporary plant caps and do machine maintenance and factory repair.

"Come on, get ready!"

"Where are you ready Las?"

"To our city Ma'am!"

"Well?"

"Lastri wants to go to the police, want to make SIM!"

"What else is Las SIM?"

"That's like having a father, Mom!"

Purely pensive for a moment. She remembers her husband. Then stroked Lastri's hair and said, "you're great, son!"

"Come on Ma'am as we leave in the morning!'

"Where was Gya?"

*That's you hiding behind the curtains?!"

Gya's age is already one year and two months now. It can walk on its own, although sometimes still shake. As for his teeth the two upper front lower teeth had grown. The upper teeth came first and have grown perfectly. 

Lastri brought his own truck at the time. He understands that Murni is not comfortable if you have to take public transportation. Same with Gya. Lastri was worried that the heat could make her daughter uncomfortable.

Lastri is very confident that he will be able to get the B1 SIM coveted for a long time. The process of managing SIM B1 is not so crowded compared to other counters. After the digital photo process is completed, Lastri just waiting to be called again.

Pastri walks with a policeman. He is Brigadier Chief Gianto. The traffic police who have been giving a lot of help to them help, especially Lastri. 

Somehow Gianto really wanted to say hello to Murni. Was it out of awe of Pure's fortitude back then? Or because of something else. 

Lastri could not have expected it.

"Mom remember this guy?"

"Remember, the police who once drove the car between you!" 

"Thank God that I remember" replied Gianto

"Salam Gya Sama Om police," said Murni.

Gianto gave me his hand. As a clever boy Gya made a gesture as if kissing the young policeman's hand. Lastri doesn't really like that kind of talk. Shortly thereafter, he decided to tour the police. A police station where the public can get services from law enforcement.

Lastri has got his B1 SIM. He immediately returned to where he left Murni and Gya. Gianto's existence is no longer visible. Lastri immediately invited them to leave the place. 

Lastri Wants to take Murni shopping while in town. Buy things that are not in their place of residence. Then eat meatballs in historic places and a favorite for Murni and Wasis first. 

"Gianto asks what is Ma'am?"

"What is your son Gya?"

"Oh, what else?"

"Are you Mom's son?"

"What did you answer?"

"Yes, I said yes!" murni replied while looking in the direction, "yes right Gya?"

Purely felt that there was something strange about her adopted daughter. As unhappy and as suspicious of the chat he did with Gianto, the police officer-ranked brigadier head, For Murni the question that Gianto had asked, is still in a reasonable level. Pure can even feel the sense of attraction Gianto to his adopted daughter. Like any other young man.

"You almost got her ticket, huh?" Purely try to remove the suspicion of Lastri against Gianto.

"He's a story, Mom?"

*Yes, he said you were scared!"

"Yes, bother if you have a trial Mom!" Lastri laughed imagine the incident.

"Thank God you have the appropriate SIM!"

"Yes, Mom."

Their conversation must stop. The meatballs they ordered have come. Gya was not affected by the arrival of the famous delicious meatballs. He calmly kept licking the ice cream held by Lastri. 

Purely arrange the meatballs given by the waiter. While Lastri tried to rearrange the position of Gya in his stroller. What a beautiful, sturdy and multifunctional stroller. It's dark blue. The result of giving Wasis at the end of his life. 

After Gya sits perfectly, Lastri gives him a hand toy. So that Gya does not disturb them while enjoying meatballs. While the ice cream earlier, Pastri had stored it in a lunch box. Too much ice cream is not good for children under two years old. 

Someone patted Pastri on the shoulder, as the third bribe was about to be made. Pastri spontaneously looked back. He could clearly see that the person who was patting him on the shoulder. That man was Madi, his father's youngest brother. 

Surprisingly Madi did not want to talk in that place. Madi was soon passed from the meatball stall after finishing paying at the cashier's table. Lastri can clearly see that his Mr. Lek has been standing in the parking lot of the motorbike. Right in the front area of that meatball shop. Lastri immediately hunted to where Madi was after permission on Murni first.

"Sir Lek!" Jerit Lastri after he managed to approach Madi who was about to put a helmet.

"Eh, it's true you, Las!"

"Where's Pak Lek from?"

"From the Bank!"

"Where are you going now?"

"Yes want to go home Las, sorry Mr. Lek has to hurry!" madi replied, "fear of night!"

"How's mom?"

"Good!"

"Sir Lek, please record Lastri's phone number!"

Madi immediately entered the number that Lastri called. One by one by pressing the phone buttons. Then he called back. In the hope that Lastri can correct if there is a mistake in storing that number. Not long ago the phone belonging to Lastri was ringing.

"Sir Lek tell me I'm Lastri's phone number!"

"No Las, you better tell him yourself!"

"Why is that Mr Lek?"

"Can't Mr. Lek be asked questions later!"

"Well, what did Mr Lek keep?"

"If there's something urgent!"

"Sir Lek how the hell is this?"

"You go home Las ! Look Mother!" madi replied, "sorry Mr. Lek must hurry!"

"Yes Mr. Lek!" Lastri looks disappointed at Madi's attitude "be careful on Pak Lek's road!"

Lastri sat down next to Pure. Gya had moved closer towards his adoptive grandmother. With a sense of annoyance and a pouting face, Lastri continued to eat the meatballs.

"Who was Las?"

"Uncle Ma'am!"

"From your village too?"

"Yes Mom, the neighbor of the house!"

"What's the story about your mother?*

*No story whatsoever Mom!"

"Why do you look sad?"

"Sir Lek told me to go home!"

"Go home, son!"

Lastri was moved to hear the words Pure. So dear to him. There doesn't seem to be any jealousy there. 

But Lastri has got a strong determination. He will not come home until there is a meaningful achievement in his life. At a minimum there has been a starting point of his business empire. A company that he will bequeath to his daughter.

"Bu Gianto said what else to Mom?" Lastri tried to divert Pure's attention from the news and the condition of his family.

"She said she's seen you before!"

"Yes, ma'am, it was Lastri who received him when he delivered the truck Mr!"

"That's not what he said!" answer Purely, "before that!"

"I mean Ma?"

"She's seen you county border area?"

Lastri. Didn't expect the diversion he did even bear new problems. Lastri could not believe how Gianto had seen and met him before. 

Lastri did not know that at the time of the incident, Gianto was still serving in Polsek. Right in the area where the lastri incident took the abomination. Gianto is one of the police officers reported by residents about the incident. Lastri had no idea that Gianto's goal was to meet Murni earlier to find out about his origins.
