A Friend from Malaysia

Allying

The clock was showing at half-time 7pm local time in Pnom Penh, Cambodia when Ilham called. Hafiz has just finished performing the maghrib prayer. While Ilham himself is still wearing his scabbard after he had just performed Isya prayers. Malaysia and Cambodia have an hour difference. Malaysia is an hour faster.

"Ndut, I thought you couldn't be contacted anymore. From this afternoon my brother saw that you were very difficult to contact, like the prime minister alone, cih," said Ilham trying to contain his regret.

"Hmm, sorry brother! Hafiz ade is a lot of very business," replied the man.

"Ape's business? Business with that woman? Hafiz you don't forget! She's not a good woman!" the word ilham warned.

"Hmm, I know!" answer Hafiz briefly.

"Therefore, you know but still he you approach, until the two make out at the ice cream shop anyway. Hafiz! Are you in love with him?" todong Ilham with a question on Hafiz.

"Astaghfirullah, brother! This brother sent a spy up here to? You don't believe me?" tanya Hafiz sounded dislike.

"Abang doesn't trust you, but you don't trust Lucas. If you don't feel like you accuse me of being quick to know what planning brother you're planning?" push Ilham on the phone.

"Not de planning anything, I really want to try to establish a relationship with Yuri," replied Hafiz.

"Huh? Ape you mean, heh?" tanya Ilham started to be unhappy.

Hafiz was silent for a moment he sighed while circulating his gaze to some corner of this hotel room. Hafiz knew Lucas must have installed a hidden camera or voice recorder in this hotel room.

"From the beginning, I had a plan to marry Yuri, you forgot to?" ask Hafiz.

"Enot forgetting. But that was before she was caught pretending to be pregnant with your child. He's a liar, so be aware Hafiz!" Again Ilham tried to resuscitate Hafiz on the phone.

"While I don't care to think about it, I can handle my own relationship with any woman. That's it, brother I close this phone first, hmm? I'm going to eat at the hotel restaurant first" Hafiz said, turning off the phone.

Hafiz did not care what Ilham would think at this time. But for sure the man is feeling very precarious at the moment, ever since he found out from Yuri that Lucas and Mr. Y is the same person.

A few days ago, on the second day they were in Pnom Penh, Yuri and Hafiz were invited by staff representatives of Indopenh Group employees to surround the company's office building called Indopenh Group which means the company's owner took the company's name from a combination of Indo and Pnom Penh, said, capital of Cambodia.

In the office building it looks fine, like other companies, just like N-one too. But when they visit a cosmetics and pharmaceutical factory owned by Indopenh Group, Hafiz begins to suspect something. He was not a chemist, but upon entering into the room of the factory that produced cosmetic products, he, Hafiz could smell the chemical drugs that stung his nose even he had put on a mask and the pungent smell remained sharp.

What makes Hafiz even more suspicious is when he sees a factory worker who continuously rubs his eyes. Nah! Not just one, most of them. Perhaps others would not care about such a matter until such a matter. But Hafiz is different. He felt that there must be something wrong in the chemicals used to make cosmetic products.

"May I know, what products are being made here? And are the ingredients safe?" ask Hafiz. (If I may know, what products are being made here? Are the ingredients safe?)

The man who was their guide translated Hafiz's question in khmer to the factory's production supervisor. The supervisor of the production section had thrown a hostile look at Hafiz before finally answering Hafiz's question with the local language that Hafiz did not understand. Maybe Hafiz's question he didn't like made Hafiz even more suspicious.

"He said, here produced products such as soap and baby shampoo. And the materials used are safe," Yuri said, answering Hafiz's question.

"Do you understand their language?" tanya Hafiz did not believe it.

"Yup, maybe you think Yola's the greatest. But as for languages, I speak several languages, Japanese, Chinese, English, German, Khmer and tagalog, I know though not fluent. What else, keciiil!" yuri replied with a proud smile expanding on her lips.

Hafiz could not help but ask.

"To what extent did you learn that language?" tanyanya spontaneous.

Yuri glared exasperatedly at Hafiz, not the amazed response he got from Hafiz but rather the suspiciously stupid question.

"For what? What kind of stupid question is that? Mastering a lot of languages is certainly useful if you often travel to various countries," said Yuri.

Hafiz looked at Yuri. Crossing his mind one idea, perhaps by pretending to admire Yuri, Hafiz was able to rise to the level of pretending to like the girl. Yes, Hafiz had thought about it, the best way to get information about Lucas was through Yuri. Isn't Yuri Lucas' adopted son?

"Why do you see me that? Are you starting to like me?" Although cynical but it sounds obvious that Yuri wants to tease him.

No matter what Hafiz, a little expensive selling je so that he can be more curious about you, inner Hafiz.

"It's hard to say, listen to the supervisor's explanation," said Hafiz trying to evade.

Sure enough, Hafiz's action of pulling Yuri's heart out seemed to go very smoothly. Hafiz felt the need to do this because she knew Yuri had used her while drunk and even pretended to be pregnant so she was almost responsible for marrying this woman. But for this time Hafiz will make Yuri really fall in love with him so much that he will willingly share information about Lucas with Hafiz.

Hafiz knew toying with the woman's feelings wasn't right. And that's a little cruel. Cruel? What cruel betrayal did Yuri commit to Yola and herself?

And so for these few short days, Hafiz pretended to slowly open up and apologize to Yuri but still left the occasional lax impression for the woman to remain curious about him. Until two days ago the woman came to him, took him away to a place he thought was safe and no one followed them

"Yuri, are you kenape?" ask Hafiz wonder.

"Hafiz, I'm gonna ask you. Can you help me?" ask Yuri.

"Please ape?" Hafiz asked back.

"Help me off Lucas. I'll also help you get information about him, won't you?"

Yuri was not as stupid as Hafiz thought. From the information that Hafiz captured from Yuri's confession, Lucas deliberately sent and gave Yuri time and place to tempt Hafiz and later they will use Hafiz to make it easier for them to overcome Ilham. That's why the two pretended to be in a close relationship for these few days. From information Yuri Hafiz knows that Mr. Y and Lucas are the same guy.

Yuri was tired of all this. The more days Lucas went too far to give him a job. If it does not match the man's expectations, Lucas always threatens him by reminding him of Tengku Yahya Nirwan's death caused by him. Yuri was afraid, she wanted to get away from the man. But no matter how far he hid the man would definitely find him. And the only way to escape from Lucas is to help his enemy get rid of the old man!
