A Friend from Malaysia
Threats
"But you didn't say anything to me?" ask Inspiration among her surprise. I was really shocked to hear it.
Leon took a breath.
"How do I tell you this, Inspiration? I've only known since Atok died and Melisa was arrested. I couldn't say anything when I asked Mama about it. Mama had to do that too, Ilham. Her parents threatened her. I couldn't say anything more when I found out about it, either" Leon said.
Ilham closed his eyes while clenching his fists furiously. I don't know who now this anger will be vented.
"If you want to be mad at me, just be angry, Inspiration. I know you're upset right now. Please don't go to the police. Even if you feel you have to be in charge, let me be. You please report now to the police station! I only asked for one. Let Nadira keep working at N-one if I'm in bui, Ilham. He's not wrong about anything. He needs to keep working to be able to meet the needs of his life, Liliy and Mama," said Leon resigned.
Leon had nothing to say to defend himself at this moment. He can only submit to the decision of Inspiration.
"Are you done talking?" ask Ilham while opening his eyes.
Leon now looked at Ilham with a guilty expression. Inspiration now rises from his seat and ...
BUGGGH!!!
A raw bogem floated on Leon's handsome face.
"Open up!!!"
Yola, who had just come out of the break room, screamed hysterically at her husband, Ilham, hitting his best friend Leon. Compared to the upside with Leon who resignedly just silently received the blow.
"Abang, brother! Already!" yola shouted trying to restrain Ilham from doing things he might regret later.
Divorced by Yola, Ilham seeks self-control.
"You're not talking kenape after you know, Leon?!" snapped Ilham while one hand was ruffled by his waist and the other hand rubbed his face.
Leon himself also rubbed his cheeks that looked bruised and a little painful due to the blow of Inspiration.
"I want to tell you a story, but every time I remember because it's because of that or until I die, I'm helpless, Inspiration. It makes me feel very sinful and I'm afraid of losing you as my best friend" Leon said with a few heavy sighs.
Several times he blinked his eyelids holding back the tear from falling. If she was a woman, she would have cried so that Ilham would know how sorry she was right now.
In this case Yola is very good at playing her role as a wife. The girl immediately pulled Ilham back to her seat and stroked her husband's shoulders.
"Abang, be patient. I told OB to get you a drink, huh?" persuade Yola.
Inspiration breathes many times.
"Truly," he declined without intending to ignore Yola's offer. "Leon, you take me to meet Uncle now! Don't make me any more upset than this!"
The ultimatum of Inspiration this time can only be taken by Leon. He believed that his best friend could not have thrown his mother into prison.

*Flashback*
That afternoon as usual Nur Khadijah, Mother of Leon was about to pick up her grandson in Tadika Ceria. That day he was a little late to pick up his grandson whose school was not so far from home, because there was a problem of damage to the water meter to the broken pipe in their house that made the water spill everywhere. So it is necessary for Nur Khadijah to call a plumber first to repair the water channel.
But not until he was at the school gate of kindergarten, a man in his 30s, gray-haired with earrings in his ears, approached Nur Khadijah and immediately invited him to speak.
"Sir! Aunt is picking up grandchildren, huh?" ask the man
Nur Khadijah was a little scared, the man looked masculine and modern. But the first impression that Khadijah caught was that the man was a bad boy. He's not a guy who looks like a good guy in general. Especially the language, not like Malay. The language looks like it's from a neighboring country, Indonesia.
"Yes, saye's going to pick up the grandkids. This kid here to do something? Want to get the little guy?" nur Khadijah asked.
The man smiled, did not look terrible, but still made Khadija feel anxious.
"I don't have any children yet. I'm here to see Makcik" he replied to the point.
"Don't see saye?" nur Khadijah asked back not understanding the direction of the man's words.
"Hmm" replied the man. "The uncle wants to pick up Lily, right?"
The woman who had almost entered the age of 60y years was jolted when her grandson's name was called.
"Rape you ..."
"He's in a safe place with my friend right now. Aunt come with me now, then Lily will be safe" the man interrupted quickly.
Without being asked the man also contacted someone through a vidio call. There Nur Khadijah could see the granddaughter was playing on the children's playground together with a young woman who received the vidio call.
"You're ready? Lily ... kenape ade with you? Is that him ready? Where are you taking my granddaughter?" Panic began to plague the woman.
"Stranquilize a bit, Aunt! I can make sure Lily's okay. Aunt see? He looks to play and have fun. Mel?" call the guy to the woman across the street.
"Yes?"
"Try this Aunt talking to her granddaughter!" tell the man.
"Oh, okay!" answer the woman. "Lily darling! Let's just stay here! Grandma, come here, baby!"
The little girl two years younger than Ammar ran over to the woman called "Mel" by the man.
"Damnechee!!!" call cheerful.
"Lily, are you okay?" Nur Khadijah looked frantically questioning his grandson.
"Not ape. Lily is playing with her friend Mama. Just a moment back. Right, brother?" the boy asked the woman who he thought was a friend of his mother.
"He em's. Lily, please play again first, then sister talked to her grandmother Lily, kite then can return. Later, sister bought a nice ice cream again big for Lily," woo the woman.
"Tool to?" ask Lily not to believe it.
"Betuul-tu. Let's play again," tell the woman.
"Lily ..." call Khadijah anxious. But Lily had already sauntered back into the playing field.
"Have seen? Lily is fine. But in the next few minutes maybe he will not be okay, if the aunt can not be invited to work together," threatened the man again while closing the vidio call.
"The kind you want?" khadijah asked in a mixed manner worried for his grandson's safety.
"We can talk about that in my car. Come!" take the man.
*flashback off*
"The old man said, the Nirwan family is in need of a nurse. He just told his aunt to recommend his friend named Melisa to Leon. And the aunt was told to lie to Leon, the aunt was told that Melisa's son was an uncle's friend!" I was Leon's mother when Ilham interrogated him.
This afternoon Ilham came to his mother Leon to the house of his friend.
"So then aunt kenape did not speak frankly to saye, to Leon?" ask me about frustration.
Truly if this was not Leon's mother he would have attacked this woman in front of him desperately even though she was a woman. But this is Leon's mother, Nadira's father-in-law. And both are her best friends.
"The guy threatened to finish Lily off. They even kidnapped Lily. They fear something will happen to Lily, Leon and Nadira. Miss Sangke, the woman just needs a job. Who would have thought that he .. if he ..." Now the cry of the woman broke considering that she also contributed to make this good man in front of her die in a terrible way.
Ilham and Tengku Yahya Nirwan are so good at elevating their family. Making Nadira and Leon have an established position with a decent salary to meet all their needs. But now because of him, the man lost his beloved atok.
"Acclesiastes it doesn't matter if you want to take the aunt to the police station, but please aunt Leon and Nadira. Lily, need a future ..."
"Sir said ape?!" Inspiration was only getting angrier at the words of regret from the old woman. "Usah say anything! If you feel sorry for saye, with saye atok, please let me know, what kind of characteristics of parents! And ... how can I see him!"
