Black Code
"You must return the three hundred million within the next two days or your sister will languish in a women's detention cell!"
Risdo's voice in front of him emphasized the contents of the piece of paper held by Sunny. There was written an agreement that required Grandma Martha to compensate her aunt Risdo, Mrs Sally, for three hundred million rupiah in losses.
Sunny wanted to tear up the paper crumple it up and put it in the slightly stocky man's mouth right now. Again, poverty made him helpless and he had to give in.
"Can you give me some relief, Boss? How can I recoup that much money in two days? You know I'm just a construction worker and my grandmother is just a servant in Mr Baron's house. Please, give us relief for Qira's accidental actions," Sunny begged him.
"None of my business. Who told you to have a careless younger sibling? Already poor, stupid too!" the answer contained insults which Sunny accepted instead, "Here, take it!" he said again while showing an envelope which Sunny knew was the envelope containing his wages as a coolie.
When Sunny was about to take it, Risdo accidentally dropped the envelope on the floor.
"That's your last paycheck. I'm still heartened that you can rent a hut for you and your grandmother to live in after your sister is in prison because after this you can no longer live in the house my aunt's husband gave you. Take that and get out of my sight, damn it!" he added again before throwing Sunny away with insults.
"Then how am I supposed to pay my sister's debt if I'm fired? Can't I talk to Mr. Baron first, Boss?" Sunny was still trying to persuade, "Or I will go to the old lady and apologize to her on behalf of my grandmother and sister," he continued pleading.
"Are you deaf, huh?! I told you your problem is none of my business. Besides, you don't have any shame, do you? I am still hoping to talk to my uncle and aunt. Do you think licking their shoes will do any good? Tch, disgusting!" Risdo cursed again.
Sunny's heart sank. How sad was the fate of him and Grandma Martha who had to suffer humiliation because of Qira's accident?
Seeing Sunny still standing, staring at the paper in his hand, Risdo shouted at him again.
"Jeez, why are you still standing here? Go. I'm sick of seeing sycophantic faces like you. Get out of my sight!" Risdo threw him away.
"But wait!" A few seconds later, Risdo called him again.
Sunny immediately turned around, hoping Risdo would change his mind.
"I have an offer and I'm sure I can help you get money. Maybe you can pay off your debt, but if you're willing," Risdo's offer was like a breath of fresh air.
"What's that? I'm willing to do anything as long as I can pay Qira's debt," Sunny started to feel happy.
"Are you sure?"
Sunny nodded quickly, "Yes, whatever," he answered as he took another step closer to Risdo's desk.
"Okay, listen to me. I have an acquaintance who is a bar owner who employs young girls like Qira. Your little brother can make money and brighten his future if he works there. You guys won't have financial difficulties after your little sister earns her own money,"
"Besides, Qira is a sweet girl, her face and skin are also clean. Moreover, your sister has a nice body shape, and her boobs… hmm, I think it's quite big for a teenager her age,"
Risdo shamelessly described Qira's body shape and size which should not be worth mentioning. Sunny's jaw tightened. His fist was so strong, but he still had to hold it.
Risdo, who saw Sunny's angry expression, wanted to provoke him even more. He put his face in front of Sunny with a contemptuous smile.
"Seeing him in ordinary clothes makes me keep swallowing saliva. Are you sure your 'thing' doesn't awaken when you look at it daily? You're not her real brother, right? Surely you often fantasize about your sister's naked body when you are in the bathroom to satisfy your brief lust, or before going to bed and hope to taste her innocence?"
"Come on, I know you're a normal man and Qira isn't as innocent as she looks," Risdo became increasingly shameless with the verbal abuse directed at Sunny and Qira.
"It's enough. Stop what you're talking about," Sunny still asked in a hushed tone.
"No, I haven't even said what kind of work your sister can do. I'm asking you because I want to make sure whether Qira is worth the high price of the customers who come to my friend's bar,"
"Her body shape and innocent face are very attractive. What's more, if she is still a virgin, that will add value. But no one knows what her service is like when she's in bed and serving customers, right? Or just like this…"
"I'm willing to taste it if you don't want to. I'll pay the full ten million Rupiah, I think that's enough to buy her virginity. That's appropriate, right, for the virginity of a village girl like her?"
"You!?" Sunny grabbed Risdo's collar tightly.
"What the f*ck?
"Enough, bastard!?" he growled and Sunny's hand was ready with a fist aimed at Risdo the foul mouth. But the fist didn't touch Risdo's face and stopped a few centimeters in front of his face, and that made Risdo feel even more victorious.
"You want to hit me, huh? Just hit then, let's hit! Why did you stop, you loser!?" Risdo gets increasingly insulted and unprepared by Sunny…
[Bugh!] Raw punch gets Sunny and sends him reeling backward.
"How dare you want to hit me, trash guy! Whew! I won't let a lowly human like you touch me! Security, come here!" he snapped at Sunny and then shouted for project security. Not waiting long, several people came to Risdo's room.
"Drag him out of here. I'm disgusted to see him around me!" orders come down to throw Sunny out of there.
"Don't forget your debt. You made the wrong choice despite your low self-esteem. I've been kind, but you're the one who doesn't know how to benefit. Get him out of here quickly!" he said before the security took Sunny away from there.
Sunny was thrown out of Risdo's office with many insults to him and his family. His steps faltered as he walked out of the construction project area.
In a green area not too far from the construction site, Sunny sat on the grass while looking at the large hospital building which was in the process of being finished. While glancing at the tattered debt paper in his hand, Sunny began to think about how he could pay the debt and not let Qira go to prison.
"How can I repay this debt? I just got fired, and that bastard said that grandma would also be kicked out of Mr. Baron's house,"
"Maybe the rest of my salary will be enough to rent a small house for us until I get another job, but what about the three hundred million rupiah? Qira will be imprisoned,"
Sunny closed his eyes with one hand and lay down on the grass helplessly.
"Lord, how is this? Please help me..." he said softly.
However, a few seconds later Sunny heard the notification sound of an old model cell phone. He reached into his pocket lazily and looked at who sent the message.
"Tsk, Keanu again. I told you that I don't want to go home yet," he grumbled, but a moment later Sunny fell silent and thought about something, "Should I accept Keanu's invitation to go home? But I haven't been able to meet Brother Shine yet."
One thought crossed his mind. But Sunny rejected this good idea again considering that he was still reluctant to meet his older brother.
Sunny was not a man who was born or raised in a poor family, but for the last 6 months, Sunny has lived with Grandma Martha and Qira.
At that time, Sunny had just returned to Indonesia to meet his family after completing his duties in California. However, on the way to his family's house, his older brother refused to meet him because he still believed there was a misunderstanding between them.
Who knew that Sunny's sadness would increase with a disaster because the taxi he was riding in had an accident, and unfortunately the taxi fell into a ravine. But he was still a little lucky because before the taxi exploded, a loud impact caused the car door to open and Sunny was thrown out of the car.
Sunny fell to the bottom of a ravine, precisely on the edge of the river. Sunny's life was saved when he was found by Grandma Martha and Qira, who had just returned from Qira's parents' grave. With the help of the driver, Mr. Baron, who was taking Grandma Martha and Qira, Sunny was taken to the hospital.
After waking up and thinking that his older brother had not forgiven him, Sunny decided to disguise himself as a man who had nothing. Even though he knew that his helper was dependent on a rich family as a household servant.
All of his family knew about Sunny's accident, but everyone agreed to keep Sunny's identity a secret according to his request.
Sunny decides to help Grandma Martha and Qira by working as a construction worker on a project managed by the family that is Grandma Martha's employer—Mr Baron.
Until then, Sunny seemed to enjoy his role as a man from a poor family while trying to find information about who was behind the misunderstanding between him and his brother.
But Sunny seemed to give up after enduring all the insults to him and Grandma Martha. His patience was at an end, especially with the debt demands he had to pay at this time.
[How long are you going to hide? Come on, go home, and have a good talk with Brother Shine. Apart from that, I have a lot of work to do. Garendra Group needs you, Sunny!]
