A LIFETIME BEHIND THE BARS OF PRISON
episode 13
“Enhanced, Sister.” Halima received a jeket from Randi.
Randi replies with a smile looking at the girl he loves trembling after what he experienced.
“Let me drive home, Halimah.” Arya offered herself.
“Please take care of Halimah, Friend. I will take care of these two criminals first, and after that later the police will ask for information on Halimah.”
Randi stepped away from Arya and Halimah, from a distance the police car had brought the two criminals.
“Where did Brother know I was here?” Halimah asked as they walked towards Arya's car parked outside the terminal.
“I happened to pass in front of your campus and saw you ride an angkot. Though Mother said, Mother who took you back and forth from campus.”
They get in the car, and the car is driven. Halimah was still trembling, it seemed like she was still in shock with what she was going through.
From Aryan explanation to Halimah. Arya follows the angkot on the Halimah ride, because someone called, Arya lost track, she continued to search until she managed to find the angkot and asked.
On the way, Arya always stole a glance at Halimah who was fixated on looking out the car window. Sometimes Arya smiles even though her face hurts a little because of bruises. He was pleased to see Halima feeling anxious to see her hands bleeding and wrapping a handkerchief.
“Why did you get to that old terminal, Halimah?” Arya opened the conversation.
“Mother texted me and said Mother's leg was injured there, Brother,” replied Halimah.
“Kok I feel strange, if Mother text must be there. We'd better speed up this trip, I don't feel good.”
Arya stuck gas, cars go faster. Very visible Halimah and Arya worried about Mother.
Arriving in front of the house, Arya immediately drove the car, and they were in a hurry to get out of the car.
“Assalamu’alaikum Mother. How are the doors locked, brother?” Halimah tried to open the door.
“Maybe Mommy is not at home,” replied Arya.
“No way, Mommy's motor is here.” Halimah pointed to Mother's motorbike parked on the terrace,
“Come through the back door, Kak.”
Halimah took Arya by the side to the back door, where they found the back door wide open.
“Not usually Mother like this, Sister.”
“Wait Halimah, let me in first, my feeling is not good.” Arya told Halimah to step behind her.
They entered the house slowly and looked around, quiet.
“Kak, maybe in Mother's room,” said Halimah with an anxious look on her face.
They entered the room but the mother was not found.
“Where is my Bunda, Sis?” Halima cries.
“We check this whole house first, don't worry, I'm here, Halimah.” Arya tried to calm Halimah down.
They headed to the living room, arriving at the living room, they were very impressed to see Mother Pinsan on the floor.
“Mother! Mother!” Halimah screamed and saw her mother.
They lifted Mother's body and laid her in the guest's long chair.
“Open the door, let air in, if you can pangil Bu Arun.”
Halimah immediately carried out the words of Arya, after the main door was opened, Halimah headed towards Bu Arun's house next door.
Not long after, Ms. Arun and her husband came to the house.
“What happened to Bu Rina, Halimah?” Ms. Arun asked and sat down beside her Mother.
“I don't know, Ma.” Halimah answered with tears.
“Mother, Mother,” Halimah called me.
I opened my eyes, I saw Halimah-Arya-Bu Arun and Pak Arun.
“Halima.” I called my daughter by holding my head that felt dizzy. I got up and sat down.
“Mother why pinsan?” Arya looked at me asking.
“There was an intruder and drugged me.” I replied with a still dizzy head.
“Includers?”
They were very surprised to hear what I said, I told them what I was going through. Halimah also recounted what she experienced today.
“Astagfirullah’alazim .. Maybe this is what the villain meant to sedate me. Thank God you are safe, son.” I immediately embraced my daughter, my mouth unceasingly thanking God.
“Thanks Nak Arya.”
Arya nodded her head hearing my words.
“Halimaah, where are your sisters?” I just realized Anisa and Rani are not home.
“Astagfirullah’alazim, earlier they said waiting at the mosque near the school.” Halima was also shocked and panicked.
We were looking for my phone, but it wasn't found.
“I fear those people also committed crimes with Anisa and Rani, O Allah .. protect my daughter.” With a feeling of anxiety, I continued to speak.
“Do not worry Mother, the culprit has been caught.” Arya tried to calm me down.
Halimah immediately contacted her sisters using her mobile phone, after answering, I felt relieved, it turns out Anisa and Rani were already in the car of Revelation heading home. Why did Anisa and Rani get in Revelation's car? I don't understand, I'd better ask them later if they get home.
Halimah went into the room to change her clothes and hijab. I-Arya, Ms. Arun and her husband are still sitting in the living room. I saw near Arya's lips a little bruised and bleeding.
“Nak Arya, once again thank you, I do not know how fate Halimah if Nak Arya does not come.” I saw him withstanding the wound on his face.
“Sama-sama Mommy, I'm glad Halimah is fine. Looks like we'll be waiting for news from Randi who's behind all this.”
“Bu Rina, you should be quick to marry Halimah so that someone takes care of her.”
Bu Arun's words were true as well, I would be more calm if Halimah was there to guard, but for now who would the young man Halimah choose? He hasn't made up his mind and obviously he's been resisting through me the man who helped him today.
Arya just silently heard the words of Bu Arun, very visible in the look on his face he really wants to make Halimah his wife. I don't mind either, but Halimah feels bad or pity for Monik and this is the reason I can read.
“I'll talk to Halima about this, Ms. Arun. I also agree with Mom.”
From the living room, we saw a car come in and park in my yard, Revelation and two more of my puri got out of that car.
“Assalamu’alaikum.” Revelation says hello at the door, so do Anisa and Rani.
“Wa’alaikumsalam, let's go to Revelation.”
Revelation sits beside Arya, for a moment they greet each other.
“Mother, why not pick us up?” Anisa sat beside me asking.
I told him what I had just experienced, hearing my explanation, Anisa-Rani and Revelation were shocked.
“How is Halimah doing now, Ms Rina?” Revelation asked and made Arya look at him meaningfully.
“Alhamdulillah good, fortunately there is Nak Arya who helps, Revelation.”
Hearing my answer stunned Revelation, she seemed jealous, I didn't really mean to make it so, but I was just telling the truth and what it is.
“Now you change clothes, Son.” I said to Anisa and Rani. They nodded their heads and entered the room.
“Oh yes, I almost forgot, why did Anisa and Rani get to be with Revelation?”
“So I prayed near their school mosque, actually I was late to pray Zuhr and deserted people in the mosque. That's where I met them and it's almost afternoon but not yet home, so I decided to drive, Miss Rina.”
I was relieved to hear the revelation's explanation, as if he was also attentive to the Halimah sisters. To whom will Halimah decide her choice?
After finding me okay, Ms. Arun and her husband left my house.
Halimah came to bring warm tea and placed it on the guest table. Revelation is stunned to see Halima who is not looking at her at all, while Arya looks at Revelation stunned to see Halimah.
“Please drink, Brother Arya, Brother Wahyu.” This time my daughter made a sound, usually she just put down a drink and lowered her head and passed to the kitchen.
“Kak Arya, this is to treat the wound on the face Sister.” Halimah thrusting box P3K .
“Thank you, Halimah.” Arya accepted it and self-medicated the wound on her face.
Halimah sat down beside me, though not looking at the two young men in front of her, it seemed like she was starting to open up to communicating with men, maybe they had already done good to our family.
“Mother, Mother's phone rings.” Rani.
“Where do you get it, Nak?” I asked because I didn't find it.
“On the room table Kak Halimah,” replied Rani.
From the phone screen, it was a call from Randi, I answered it immediately.
I was very surprised to hear Randi's explanation on the phone, I was very unexpected, the person behind all this is the person I know, Astagfirullah’alazimm ….
“Mother, what's up?” Halimah looked at me who was glued.
“You were asked to give a statement to the police station, Nak.” Answer me and hold my daughter's hand.
“What says Randi, Mommy? Who is behind all this?” arya.
The three of them looked at me waiting for an answer from my mouth.
“Assalamu’alaikum.”
I did not have time to answer, Monik came with tears.
“Wa’alaikumsalam, Monik?” Halimah approached Monik.
“Halimah, please forgive my mother.” Monik crying pleads.
Hearing the Monik's words, we who were in the living room were stunned to see it. What does the word monik apology mean?
