WITH his father's inherited petromac heritage, Baya can still breathe. Though times are changing fast as magicians magicize. Every night, Baya always along the rice fields. Throwing eels for sale around the sun from the womb.
After selling the work, Baya always took a cup of coffee and smoked cigarettes prepared by his wife. Menik who has used half of Baya's house near the small suburb of Ayodyakarta as a prostitution shop.
"You have a decent income today, Kang?"
"Thanks to your prayers, my income is more than enough." Baya sipping coffee that still smoke. Cigarette sucked hard. Like a big boss, Baya threw cigarette smoke from his mouth. In the living-room chair, Baya kissed his forehead tenderly. "What about yours last night, Nik?"
"After Kang Baya leaves home, Jarkisah, whose monthly visitor arrives suddenly, returns to the boarding house, and Sri Koplak comes out with his new acquaintance Zainab is dazed because he has just been in trouble with her husband Rulyati, Yanti, Minuk, and Kasimah. sold in the market.
"Do not be angry, Nik!" Baya rubbed her long straight hair up to her waist. "Rezeki is very easy to find, use two hundred thousand for our needs today, I use this one hundred thousand."
"Get drunk with Kang Togok, Tobil, and Tiger? Look out!"
"Create the wallet, get to the market, day goes by noon."
Menik smiled. Picked up a fifty thousand pieces on the table. Pinching Baya's stubborn arm with an odor. "You do not have to sleep, you sleep, your face is pale."
Baya nodded obediently like a slave with a big mistress. Together with his wife who was rushing to the market. Baya moved from the chair. Go to the bedroom with his petromak. Before lying down, Baya placed a petromant on a wooden cabinet.
In exhaustion, Baya's unwilling eyes were staring at the petromak on the cupboard. The petromak reminds Menik. The former prostitute she met a year ago when she was lying unconscious in a hut in the middle of a rice field after being raped by seven terminal thugs. Baya always shed tears when she remembered her first meeting with Menik. Therefore, Baya more loving petromak who have meritorious in his life.
Have not had time to sleep, Baya opened his sleepy eyes. Angry, when he saw his petromak was dropped by a black cat who was hunting mice. Seeing the petromak a mess, Baya hunted black cat. Shoot his head with a rifle. In the kitchen near the dish rack, the black cat ran. Not breathing again.
With a squirrel rifle at the waist, Baya pretends like a war winning hero. Bring a black cat carcass to a brownish river behind the house. Threw the damn carcass down the river. Carrying the current to vanish from the sight of his nanar eyes.
After returning from the river, Baya met Menik who was watching the blood splattered on the floor of the kitchen tile near the dish rack. "What are you doing there, Nik? Get ready to cook, I'll eat a lot after my siesta sleep."
"Kang, what is this blood?"
"The Black One."
"Why did you kill him?"
"The cat is destroying my father's petromac inheritance, Petromak that brings us together, our love."
"But you forget Kang, because the Black, our sustenance flows like a river behind the house."
"Fool with sustenance."
"Fool with love?"
"It's all stupid! The important thing now is that you cook it well for me, I'll go to bed to forget the petromak and the Black."
Seeing the arrogance of Baya rushing to her bedroom, the blood of revenge flowed through Menik's body. Because Black's death has destroyed Menik's most beautiful memories with Rostawa. The late boyfriend who gave the black cat gift while birthday.
After dluhur, Baya woke up from sleep. With a rumbling stomach, Baya headed for the dining room. Eat the food on the table. After he was satisfied, Baya left the chair. But before leaving the dining room, Menik already standing in front of Baya with a rifle. Without a word, Menik poured bullets into Baya's head. Not until minutes, Baya fell with blood flowing from his bald head.
Seeing Baya lying on the dining room floor was not breathing anymore, Menik rushed out of the house with a rifle. By taking public transportation, Menik went to the police station. Submit yourself and a rifle as a proof.
The night after the bloody event, Baya's home that became the workplace of Menik as a pimp was suddenly quiet. Baya has been stretched out in the grave. Menik curled up in the cage. Jarkisah, Sri Koplak, Rulyati, Yanti and Kasimah were not seen sitting on the terrace of the house to wait for the guests.
Rumah Baya has resembled a cupola of death. There is no love that radiates like a petromak lamp. There is no sustenance that the black cat keeps on raiding rats. Three days later, the house was destroyed when the earthquake shook violently!
