100 Days of Being a Widow

Section 59 Stacking

Jean arrives at the mosque and finds Azka and Zidan there. Jean's heart was relieved. But not for long, he vaguely saw the person he had seen at the restaurant in a hurry to enter the car that was parked not far from the mosque.

Jean wanted to chase the car, but it was too late. The car is driven so fast. Jean saw the license plate of the car. So that he can be vigilant later in the day. Jean then told her to worry about Mr. Darmo and some najai teachers who were there so they were also vigilant.

Jean went back to her house. Rania was reading the Qur'an when Jean arrived. The chanting of the holy Quran makes Jean's mind calmer. He took ablution and sat down beside his wife, reciting the Qur'an together and continued praying the congregational magrib.

"Jean, why did you look so worried?"

Rania asked while tidying up her face. Jean hasn't told Rania about this.

"When at the restaurant did you notice someone, Rania?"

Ask Jean.

" emmm which one is it?"

Rania was too busy doing the bookkeeping, so she did not pay much attention to every visitor who came to her restaurant.

"The man was dressed all in black, wearing a hat and glasses, sitting at the cashier's table!"

Jean tried to explain the description of the person.

Rania tries to remember, and ...

"I remember. The guy who just ordered the coffee. She's...."

Rania's speech is held back. He only realized that the man changed the position of the chair to face him who was at the cashier position. Then remember Dani's threat to her. Rania hugged Jean.

"Jean I'm scared. I'm worried that it's part of Dani's plan!"

Rania started thinking negatively. Bad things ran in his head.

"Jean, kids!"

suddenly Rania remembered the children.

"I've left them to Mr. Darmo. I have Mr. Darmo keep an eye on the kids until I pick him up".

Jean said, then Rania became calmer.

"If my guess is correct, why is Dani that close?"

Mumbled Jean.

"Dani is a typical person who does not want to be defeated. He is very concerned with his ego. In terms of business, friendship or even anything, he wants to always be a champion. From the beginning it was so!" .

Said Rania who knew Dani for more than ten years.

"Can he do something that leads to crime?"

Jean asks Rania who knows Dani well.

"I think, yeah. Because Dani is a very ambitious person. His men are everywhere. In fact, he once hired a bodyguard to threaten one of the clients who broke his promise to him".

Rania tries to remember Dani's habits.

"That means, there's a chance Dani committed a crime against our family, Ran".

Mumbled Jean. Then Jean was silent for a moment. Thinking about the safety of his little family.

"Rania, I'll be gone for a minute. Stay home and lock all the doors. I'll be right back".

Jean then goes to see Mr. Darmo, Mr. Haris, and Cipto, all of them Jean employees who help in the affairs of the farm and the driver. They are also native to the local area, so it will be easy to recognize if someone else infiltrated his territory.

Jean set up a gate in the musholla area. Other than local residents, they are not allowed to enter. Dani also assigned Cipto and Pak Haris to take turns guarding the gate and patrol the area of the house.

***

Meanwhile, Dani has received reports from his men about the whereabouts of Rania and her children. Dani then orders his men to bring Azka and Zidan to him. Anyhow.

***

One afternoon, as the children were preparing to teach at the mosque, Azka, Zidan and other friends were playing ball at the mosque. The ball played is thrown out of the fence. Azka took the initiative to take it. Mr. Cipto who is fixing his motorcycle off guard with this. He let Azka cross the safe line.

"Aza... Azka...!"

Azka heard her name called. His eyes circled around, looking for who was calling him.

***

Ustad Riyan searched for Azka who was not present at the mosque. Zidan was also confused, because he was still playing with his brother. Ustad finally reported to Mr. Cipto who was on guard at the gate. He was surprised to find that Azka's report was not in the mosque, there was only Zidan.

Mr. Cipto rushed to the corner of the place, but was not found. He immediately reported to Jean.

"How is this father, I have said, do not let the children out of the gate!"

Said Jean who had just fed her goats. He then rushed to Azka to the corner, but in vain. This news was heard by Rania. He lunglai. sat weakly in front of the door.

"Listen Rania. This is not the time to cry. We must exert our strength to seek Azka. Looks like the perpetrator is the one we suspected yesterday!".

Jean said firmly, carrying his wife's body and laid down on a wooden cot.

"It looks like he's the one!"

Said Rania, while slowly getting up and sitting leaning back. Jean was right, the weaker he was, the greater the likelihood of being persecuted. Dani knows Rania's weakness, so Dani will hurt her through her weakness.

"Yes. If Azka doesn't come back within 24 hours. We'll call the police!"

Jean said with a cold expression. It was like putting so much anger on Dani.

"Pak Darmo will take care of you Rania. Don't go anywhere. I'll be right back!"

Jean said as she took the keys to her motorcycle and left Rania.

Rania then took her phone. He tried to contact Dani. But not getting a response. He then wrote a short message to Dani.

"Dani please tell me what you want?!, don't sacrifice children just for your sake!"

But also not getting a reply.

***

Azka finds herself in a minibus car. He saw there was Om Riyo, his father's men in the car, so he did not feel afraid.

"Om, where are we going, Azka hasn't let me go".

Azka said innocently.

"We're going to see dad". Riyo replied with a forced smile.

But Riyo just smiled. The journey continues to Surabaya. At a hotel, Dani was waiting for Azka's arrival.

Hotel room door is open.

A warm embrace welcomed Azka's arrival.

"Azka papa's son...."

A round of tears drenched Dani's cheeks. He was not the monster that scared him. Dani doesn't want this, only his ego and prestige, has driven him to recklessness.

"Dani, you shouldn't have done this".

Said Riyo while taking off her hat.

" You can come to Rania all right. You must learn to accept defeat once!"

Said Riyo while sitting on a sofa, watching Dani who was still expressing her longing for Azka.

"You never understand how I feel, Yo!"

Dani answered while holding Azka.

"You're too ego with your feelings, Dani. Until you're willing to sacrifice everyone's feelings. After this, get ready, we might be being hunted by the police!"

Ryo said as he left Dani and Azka at the hotel.

A few days passed, Azka was still in Dani's arms....
