"Eh, don't bother, Neng," cried Ani, refusing.
But Neneng chuckled to give it to Ditto.
"It's okay, Auntie," replied Neneng.
Ani gave up. He will not hinder Granny's kindness to Ditto.
"Be careful on the way, Neng," said Asep teasing Neneng with a joke.
"Hahahah, yes, I'm calm, I'm only a few meters brave," replied Neneng in response to Asih's father's joke.
Neneng's house is only a few meters from Asih's house, not far. So the word of caution is not very efficiently expressed.
Neneng walked unsteadily from Asih's house.
After Neneng left and Asih was about to go into her house, suddenly a black car came and stopped in front of Asih's house.
Everyone was surprised, Asep and Ani immediately stood up from their sitting positions to greet the Landlord.
Asih was scared, she hid behind her father's body.
Jajaka Purwa's men then opened the car door for their skipper and the landlord got out of his car.
The arrogance and greed on his face was clearly visible. Now he approached Asih and his family and was also followed by his two men behind.
His formal clothes became his hallmark which was very different from the people there. Clearly visible caste.
"It's time, let's go!" said Jajaka Purwa and his two men immediately dragged Asih to take him into the car.
Asih held her father's hand tightly, she didn't want the landlord to take her away. Asih is not fully ready.
"Father, Mother," Asih cried softly.
His parents also held Asih's hand tightly, but they also couldn't hold it in and resignedly let Asih go to be taken away by the Landlord.
"Quickly get him into the car!" Jajaka Purwa ordered his two men.
Ditto looked at Asih coldly, as if there was no fear, and concern for his brother being taken away.
Ditto is like a undead whose expression is flat but his heart is crying seeing his family suffering.
"Master, can it be just one more day … Can I still stay here?" bargained Ani pitifully as she prostrated at the feet of the landlord who didn't care about her at all.
"Don't try to bargain with me," Jajaka Purwa replied undeniably, "this, for your life!" He shows the black suitcase.
"And you don't have to worry about Asih. He will stay in school, but not at his old school. And don't worry, my subordinates will take care of everything," he added, handing him the black suitcase which contained money.
He also immediately pulled his leg from Ani's grasp, who was now prostrating to him, asking his son - Asih to be allowed to stay one more day with him so that he was ready to let Asih go for a wife three times his age.
Asih was taken by force because she was also not ready to be married to Jajaka Purwa.
She was immediately dressed even though her tears repeatedly ruined Asih's makeup, which the makeup artist kept putting on.
Fortunately, Asih is the future wife of the ruler, so no matter how difficult it is to make Asih's makeup, they remain patient and also repeatedly calm Asih and persuade Asih to be more calm.
"You don't have to cry, you should be happy to be the wife of a rich man," said one of the graceful men to Asih.
Instead of being able to calm Asih down, he made Asih's mind even more erratic even though her crying had subsided.
***
Adrian and Bara stood frozen in the corner of the wall, looking at the room that would be their father's wedding venue with his future wife who was still in school.
"Father have you gone crazy?" Adrian grumbled to his sister Bara who now also thinks the same thing.
"I think he has a pedophile disorder, Bro," added Bara.
Both of them could not understand the arbitrariness of their father who used his wealth to oppress others and exploit those who were in debt with him and required them to repay him with a stake of devotion.
Not long after that, Asih was brought from her make-up room earlier to do the ijab qabul.
Bara and Adrian turned their heads to see Asih who was flanked by his father's two concubines and now Asih's appearance made Bara look up at the high school girl he last saw when Asih forced his way into this big mansion at that time.
Bara still remembers Asih's innocent face, which now looks even more beautiful in her simple white wedding dress and her Sundanese siger which adds to the beauty of Asih's face.
'Bara, wake up!' Bara scolded himself.
Their father's wife had eleven people which Asih now added to make it even twelve. His two legal wives, Monika and Kirani, were married to his father religiously (siri) and called concubines.
Not without reason and a special symbol Jajaka Purwa wanted eleven wives in his life.
The nine concubines he took from the number of walisongo which consisted of nine guardians, plus three legal wives so he counted twelve which means twelve months in a year and became the three main pillars because many things were associated with the number three such as penance asah, asih asih and nurturing and even Asih's name is similar to the abbreviation Trisilas.
Jajaka Purwa's symbolic thought really didn't make sense, but he chuckled based on his own understanding which even though the root of having multiple wives was only his own lust.
Asih was then seated next to her future husband, who was also very concerned about Asih.
And he was getting more and more in the mood for a wedding night with his only wife this youngest.
As the marriage contract took place, Monika and Kirani were very angry because at first they thought their husband would not remarry a woman in the near future.
Even though they knew that their husband was planning on having twelve wives.
Asih is indeed considered weak by the two, she can still be influenced and enslaved by them.
But still, they are worried that their husbands will put Asih's number one priority, who is much younger and prettier than those who have tails.
Knowing that her husband also rushed to marry Asih a year before graduating and still send Asih to school later, of course, everyone was very jealous.
Asih can still be freed to roam outside, unlike those who have to report nothing and are being followed by Jajaka Purwa's men.
The specialty of the three legal wives is that later their children will receive inheritance according to religious rules, in contrast to other siri wives – even if they have children, their children will not get anything.
That is why the concubines also chose not to give birth to children from Jajaka Purwa because they were also threatened that if they had children from Jajaka Purwa, the landlord would divorce them and give them a house to live in and raise their children without the help of her husband. No income either.
Of course, the concubines who are really money-mad don't want to leave their comfort and don't want to choose a hard life outside even though Jajaka Purwa gives them a house in return.
"With a dowry of three hundred grams and a set of tools for prayer, the payment is made in cash," said Jajaka purwa loudly.
