Mahdi Party

Mr. Mahdi has appeared neat, berpeci black, dressed in white coco and blue plaid sarong. He stood in the doorway of her gate, welcomed the invited guests. Yesterday, a letter of invitation celebration of 200 sheets have been sent to the homes of neighbors and close friends.
In the family room is large enough like the hall, Mrs. Mahdi busy preparing dishes buffet style with a special menu. On a long table cloth-clad green, there gule and goat satay, satay chicken, grilled chicken, fried chicken, chicken opor, Bestik beef, oxtail soup, pickles, sambal liver. Also there are various kinds of fresh fruit: red apples, green grapes, citrus imports, peer and banana.
With a beaming face, Mr. Mahdi glanced at his watch. Already at 19:30. He suspects, invited guests will attend at exactly 20:00 hours, according to the time written in the letter of invitation. Minutes passed, and when his watch was showing at 19:55 PM, not a single guest in attendance. Mrs. Mahdi rushed out of the living room, having finished preparing that special dish.
"How come no one has come, sir?" he asked in a tense face."Maybe the people in this neighborhood are very disciplined, ma'am. They will probably come up promptly at eight. Five minutes," said Mr. Mahdi, his face suddenly seemed too tense.
Mrs Mahdi sneer. "Uh! Attending a party invitation really hour. Basic quasi-discipline," she muttered angrily.Mr. Mahdi also started to hit annoyed, because there is also no one invited guests were present at his home. He began to wonder, why the neighbors nearby also not present? Whether they're not home? He did not know all the neighbors, having just moved a week ago. Her new home a magnificent two-story lies in the middle of vacant land in the middle of the housing. First, he bought a number at once, and in the middle magnificent house that he built it. Now, her house was only the grandest houses in the residential area. Neighboring houses just type 21 and 36.
"Could all the neighbors and friends close to you no one willing to attend, sir?" Mom asked, looking annoyed Mahdi."Be patient, ma'am. Maybe it was the custom in this village, if an invitation is always late." Mr. Mahdi tried to console themselves.
"But this was after fifteen minutes, sir."Mr. Mahdi glanced at his watch back. It was after fifteen minutes of eight o'clock. The face of Mrs. and Mr. Mahdi Mahdi increasingly tense, as the minutes went by, but there has not been any invited guests who attended.
Three assistants and two driver appeared smiling in the doorway of the family room. They must hope that the celebration party that fails, or only a small portion of invited guests attended. Because, if it fails to shower or just a small part of invited guests attended, then there will be many remaining dishes that can be taken home to be enjoyed with family at home.
Now less than 10 hours 21 minutes. And still no one has invited guests in attendance. Annoyed, Mr. Mahdi and then try to call close friends who have been invited. But they all turn off his phone. While the telephone in their homes also could not be reached.
"What we need to tell the drivers to remind the neighbors close to be coming soon, sir?" Bu Mahdi confused."Ah, do not bother, ma'am."
"But what if the party fails celebration tonight, sir?""If no one is willing to come, we just do not bother, ma'am."
"You're What's the matter, sir?""Ah, please, ma'am. What is important, we held shower nadzar we have done. And if it turns out no one came, none of our business. Dish that we already serve, can be taken home by a chauffeur-driver."
Bu Mahdi then silence. But his heart is troubled. He suspects, all the neighbors and close friends already know how Mr. Hasan is the corrupt officials. Mansion was also the result of corruption.
"If there is no next nine guests, we just close this gate, and all the lights off, Mom. I'm tired, to sleep. Tomorrow I've got a lot of important events. There was a meeting at the hotel." Mr. Mahdi began to seem desperate.
Mrs. Mahdi then rushed into the bedroom. Resentment mingled sadness can not dibendungnya. He brooded while reflecting on the dresser. Now, he seems to being stripped by the neighbors and close friends. They are not willing to attend must be because was not going to enjoy the dishes that come from the proceeds of corruption.
Now, everywhere it was no movement condemned the corruptors. Now, all the officials who live and have bermewah luxury mansion has become the gossip surrounding communities. And since emerging movement condemned the corrupt, Mr. Mahdi seem worried. Then, Mrs. Mahdi suggested to hold a celebration party event by inviting all the neighbors and close friends. In the shower, in addition to enjoying special meals, all guests are requested to read prayers to be led by a cleric.
"If we build homes we live in, we do have to hold a thanksgiving feast, ma'am," said Mr. Mahdi.Then Ms. Mahdi said that Mr. Mahdi said that as a nadzar that must be implemented. And now, nadzar it was implemented, but it was doomed to fail miserably.
Mr. Mahdi suddenly into the room after Mrs. Mahdi. "The gate is closed, ma'am. Go to sleep alone. Let the drivers and helpers enjoyed a meal there."
Mrs. Mahdi cry. "Apparently everyone already knows that you are corrupt, sir.""Ah, hell, Mom. What is important, there would be no legal process can prosecute corrupt individuals like me. If we are isolated in the country, there is still a place to live comfortably abroad. I can follow the senior who is now living comfortably in other countries. "***The next day, Mr. and Mrs. Mahdi Mahdi busy receiving calls from close friends who could not attend the shower invitations. Most of them could not attend because there udzur a disaster.
"Excuse me, Mr. Mahdi. I and my mistress could not attend, because suddenly there is a close relative who died.""I'm sorry, yes ma'am Mahdi. My husband and I could not attend, because our son was suddenly ill and had taken to the hospital."
"Oh, I apologize for not able to attend.'s Known, we are mourning the death of our beloved dog.""Really, we were originally getting ready to attend. But suddenly our car tires exploded, while the tires had just borrowed serepnya close neighbors."
Mr. and Mrs. Mahdi Mahdi is very upset after receiving a phone. Because, all close friends apologized for not being present because of the unfortunate.As if they said that they experienced the disaster caused by the shower invitation. Them as if to say that if they attend will surely stricken greater.
Now, Mr. and Mrs. Mahdi Mahdi increasingly convinced, how all the friends and neighbors already regarded it as a disgusting human being. They are not willing to attend a celebration party invitation must have been disgusted.
"The failure shower that we conducted, it made me even more excited to find a lot of money for the provision of living abroad, ma'am. I guess we will not be able to comfortably stay in the country again.'s My job to stay one year period. The time of one year I would use to get money as much as possible, "said Mr. Mahdi with a faraway look. Imagine the senior who is now playing golf and playing chess in Singapore.***Movement condemns the increasingly rampant corruption everywhere. Mr. and Mrs. Mahdi Mahdi increasingly worried. And in the morning, while enjoying coffee and toast on the back porch, all of a sudden the maids and driver-driver came over and said goodbye. They claim to be afraid, for a two-story mansion that was haunted. They also admitted to frequent nightmares and horrible. In their dreams as if seeing a two-story mansion that was on fire, and they are trapped in the flames.
And since lost all the aides and his driver, Mr. and Mrs. Mahdi Mahdi feeling sad, tense and afraid to inhabit his new home was a magnificent two-story. As if his house was like a locked prison. Now, all relatives are also farther away.
"We should follow the children, sir." Bu Mahdi could no longer bear to live in the mansion. Pictured are always two children who are now studying in Singapore.
"Yes, ma'am. We should soon overtake them, to find a place to live there. They do not have to go home after college. Let themremain there. "
"This house must be sold, sir."Mr. Mahdi agreed, but sell the mansion is now not easy. He recalled a number of seniors who struggle to sell the mansion, then had to be abandoned just like that.
"Let's put an ad in the newspapers, as well as announcements at the gate that the house is sold, sir," suggested Mrs. Mahdi.Without a word more, Mr. Mahdi immediately put an ad in the newspapers and notice boards in the fence. And the days that followed, Mrs. Mahdi forced busy in the kitchen, sweeping floors, washing clothes, shopping to the market, because it can no longer looking for helpers. Mr. Mahdi is also forced to leave and left work to drive his own car, because they can not find the driver again.

"Pak Samad held shower? So just get the fortune of which the pedicab that?"Mr. Mahdi seemed surprised. He knew, Mr. Samad daily into a pedicab driver. Her house across from vacant land, east, that each day passes when he went home and office. Mr. Samad's house just type 21.
With the encouragement of curiosity hospitable with the neighbors, Mr. Mahdi willing to attend the invitation of Pak Samad. He arrived at  Samad's house on time. And he was surprised, because the yard was filled with Mr.k Samad invited guests.
Pak Samad's face lit up when shaking hands with Mr. Mahdi. "Excuse me, sir. Please sit down. The place is dirty," he said, pointing to a mat that had to be held at the curb, because all the seats are occupied by guests.
With a heavy heart, Mr. Mahdi sat on a mat Lesbian, so that a fat belly aching. Butt also feels pain, because beneath asphalt overlay uneven mat.
A moment later, Samad was sitting next to Mr Modin who was appointed to be the leader of prayer together. And before the prayer, Mr. Modin explained that the host held a thanksgiving party that simple because it has been able to buy a new tricycle.
And having prayed together, the meals were just a plate of fried rice and a glass of sweet tea. All guests enjoy a thanksgiving feast is very simple.
