8 To 4: The Mayor's Contract Wife

Dishevelling

In the evening, they throw a small party to welcome Dito. As they did in Sudi Stop by first, that night they also burned fish in front of the inn while chatting. The difference is, tonight not only fish, but also shrimp, shellfish and crabs that have been cooked various menus are also ready to accompany their dinner. Dito who has not eaten as much seafood for a long time finally hives because of his allergies.

They finally took Dito to the clinic to get the drug from dr. Hussein.

“She Dito, doc. Our friend who lives in Karangan Village, Carang Sewu.”

Dr. Husein who wrote the recipe for Dito suddenly stopped and lowered his glasses so he could see Dito's face directly.

“Accountable Village? Do you know Sudi Inn Stop by?” ask dr.Husein while continuing to write the recipe.

Dito nodded. “It was an inn belonging to my grandfather and grandmother.”

“So you're the grandson of inn owner Sudi Stop by?” ask dr. Hussein again.

“Doctors know them?”

“Sure, they know a lot about your mother, Jeng.” Answer dr. Hussein handed the recipe to Dito. “They just don't dare to talk, just like the others.”

“But why, doc? I'm his son, but no one wants to tell me about my mother.”

“Not want, Jeng, but afraid. They were threatened to shut up.” Dito Sahut.

He approached Dito. “What do you know about my mother? Is he really dead? Why?”

Dito nodded. “It's time you knew the truth. You are not an illegitimate child and your mother is not a mistress. Your father married your mother in Karangan secretly but his family did not agree and forced him to marry Selena, his current wife. Despite being married, your father refused to divorce your mother. For the sake of your mother's safety, your father brought her back to his hometown and in exchange, he often came there to visit. After having Ardan and Alvin's children, your mother gave birth to you. Unknowing citizens, consider your mother a mistress and even fornicate. To put down the rumors, your father threatened the citizens to no longer talk about your mother. But a few years later, he was suddenly rushed to the hospital for poisoning. Not long after that, he died in the hospital. But his body was never brought back to Karangan.” Obviously Dito is long.

“So she passed away?” ask dr. Hussein. “I am sure his condition has fully recovered as I left. Why did he die?”

“News circulating, fixed due to poisoning that occurred earlier.” Dito Imbuh.

“Ngga possible.” Mumbled dr. Hussein.

“Do doctors suspect someone deliberately killed him and took advantage of the poisoning issue as the cause?” sela Wira curious.

And they were all dissolved in each other's thoughts.

*****************

Although it was late, both Ajeng, Wira and Dito were both unable to sleep. Ajeng went out for a short walk and it turned out that Wira and Dito were also sitting together on the porch of their house.

“Not sleeping, Jeng?” ask both at the same time.

“Since when did you guys become that compact?” ledek Ajeng's.

“He who follows me.” Said Dito not to lose.

“Enak? The one you had from earlier followed me here.”

They end up sitting while enjoying the cold of the night sea breeze and the smell of sea water that always makes them opium. Suddenly, Dara comes with an ointment for Dito.

“From?! Why are you here gini nights?” tanya Ajeng was shocked.

“This I just found the ointment in the prescription dr.Husein.” said Dara while thrusting the ointment to Dito.

“Yes but don't have to be delivered right now, Dara. Toh Dito also took medicine from dr.Husein earlier.” Imbuh Ajeng's.

Then Wira nudged his arm to tell him that the girl must have had other intentions. Wira rolled her eyes from Dara to Dito and then to Dara again. And Ajeng immediately understood that Dara was trying to get close to his friend.

"I also delivered a package for Mbak Ajeng. Yesterday did not intentionally find fit again loading and unloading goods in the clinic." added Dara.

“Ah, thanks yah?" ajeng replied after receiving a box wrapped in brown paper bearing his name. "Oh yeah, because it's here, sit down first Dara!”

Ajeng opened the package and found an old cell phone of his, the last clothes he wore when he returned from Carang Sewu injured and a necklace with a pendant inside which contained a photo of his mother.

"This?...." Ajeng's voice choked.

"What does this mean, Jeng? Why are you sending stuff like this?"

"This is Papa's farewell, Mas. From today on, Papa has really let me go. I'm no longer the president's son."

Wira immediately hugged Ajeng and let his wife cry in her arms.

********************

“You've been working here a long time?” tanya Dito opened a chat on the way to the clinic.

“Have been five years over.”

“Why can you be here?”

“Dimutation.”

Dito looked at Dara for a moment. Then the girl started to continue her story.

“I was orphaned since childhood. I live with my sister and thanks to her, I managed to become a nurse in RSUD Batang Hulu City. But a year after I worked there, there was a wounded victim who was taken to the hospital. Denger-denger, he was a victim of the brutality of the official's son but I don't know the full extent of it. I was in charge of treating the patient with one of the neurosurgeons. After more than two months in a coma and being treated there, the patient was conscious that day and the family immediately took him home forcibly. I don't know what happened, the next day me and all the staff who were treating the patient were mutated separately.”

“Do you remember who the patient you treated was? Like her characteristics and also her family background?”

Dara. “We were warned never to remember that again.”

“How are patients doing when they get there?”

“He was unconscious and had a wound to the back of the head. It looks like a beating scar with a very loud blunt object. When viewed from his looks and appearance, he looks like a thug. There were many tattoos and scars on his body. The patient's name is Kohar and his guardian is Baron.”

"What's? The baron?!"

*************************

Dito rushed back to the inn and told her what he had just heard from Dara.

"So they did deliberately hide Kohar to corner and accuse me of being a murderer." murmured Wira.

"They must have really wanted to destroy Mas Wira's reputation back then. But who would have thought in such a crisis situation, Mas Wira still managed to win the election. Mas Wira is cool." timpal Dito while giving his two thumbs up.

"Rega is really sneaky. He knew that Haris and I had a lot of political support from the top, so he didn't dare to risk losing against us. He prefers to be the deputy guardian and uses the Baron case as a weapon to suppress me. That way, the path to advance to the upcoming pilwali will be smoother. Ckckck...."

"Mas, maybe he was also the one who conspired with Baron when they tried to kidnap me in Batang Hulu at that time." said Ajeng.

"It can be."

"What's? Ma'am Ajeng wants to be kidnapped?" Dito was shocked to hear that.

Ajeng. "But it was a long time ago and Mas Wira managed to clear them all."

"So what would Mas Wira do to Pak Rega now? Would Mas Wira still be sure he is in power and arbitrarily in Carang Sewu that you have worked so hard to build as now?"

Smiling hero. "There is only one most painful retribution for Rega......."
