Andin hurriedly entered the lobby of a hospital. To the receptionist, he asked a patient named Prita Asmara, his best friend.
Just a moment ago, Bayu suddenly contacted him while he was in the boutique. He was shocked when he was told that Prita was in the hospital in Kota J.
One of the nurses at the reception offered to take her to the room. They entered the elevator on the first floor, then the nurse pressed the 14th floor button.
It didn't take long, they had already reached the 14th floor. The nurse left Andin in front of room number 101 on the floor.
Andin pressed down on the door hinge with a slight hesitation. When she opened the door, Bayu looked at her. He got up from his chair after seeing Andin coming.
"Come in." she asked.
Andin slowly stepped foot closer to the bed of the patient who was beside Bayu. He saw Prita lying up there in a closed eye position with a series of medical devices still attached to his body.
"Why is it like this?" Andin looks still shocked to see the condition of Prita.
"He was shot."
Andin stared intently at Bayu, "How did Prita get shot? What happened to her?"
"Andin, sorry. I can't explain everything to you. Later if Prita is conscious, you can hear it from her yourself."
Andin immediately sat down beside Prita. He held a soft hand that did not move.
"Can I trouble you to take care of him as long as he is still unconscious?"
"Where is Mr Bayu going?" it's strange to hear Bayu want to leave his wife to him.
"You know a case that's warm right now, right?"
Andin raised his head again and looked at Bayu, "I mean Mr Saddam's case, huh? Cannabis hoarding?"
Bayu nodded, "I'm involved."
Andin rounded his eyes, "Pak Bayu is joking, huh?"
Bayu smiled, "If there will be anything with me, please take care of Prita."
"Ah, Oh my God.... Actually why this?"
"Then, what about the kids."
"I don't know either. Before going to J City, Prita had already entrusted them to Ayash."
"Ah.... Can he take care of three little kids." Andin also dizzy imagining Ayash babysitting his three children alone.
Tok tok tok tok
Someone knocked on the door and opened it. Two men came in like they were sick. One walks with the help of a cane, the other hand is bandaged.
"I saw them first huh, Andin."
Andin nodded. Bayu walked over to Alex and Fredi who were still standing at the door.
"Sit down." Bayu told them to sit on the living room sofa.
Fredi helps Alex sit with one hand.
Bayu looked at them with a feeling of fullness. Both of his men must also feel the bullet to help him, just like Prita.
"What about your condition?"
"We're fine, sir. It is precisely what we are concerned about Miss Prita's condition. That's why we came here."
"He's all right. The doctor said maybe in a few days he'll be conscious."
"Today I've cleared your father and Ben's funeral."
"Thank you, Fredi. You've helped me a lot."
Recalling her father and Ben who had died, Bayu's eyes glazed over. He still could not believe that he had to lose the two men at the same time. He shot his father even outside his consciousness. What he felt at that moment was his disappointment to the father who even until the last breath of his life, he still intended to harm him, his own son.
"I was wondering about my relationship with them. I'm just answering that I'm just your representative."
"Yes, don't talk to the police too much. Just answer it as necessary."
"Fredi, tomorrow you go home to City S. Check the condition of my home and children as well. Said they were with Ayash."
"Alex, you stay here until you recover. If it's healed, please take care of my wife too."
"Why should I, Boss? Where are you going?"
"You know for yourself that I was involved in a matter made by Mr. Saddam. I'm most likely going to be arrested."
Alex and Fredi looked at each other. They're not ready if the boss goes to jail and leaves them.
"I'll find the best lawyer for you. Maybe the punishment you have to live with can be replaced by paying a fine only. After all, you are only helping, not the main culprit.
"Yes, Fred. I also contacted my lawyer. The police haven't called me because my wife is also a victim. I think they're just delaying my arrest."
"Pity Miss Prita if you're detained."
"Therefore I ask you to come take care of him if I should be arrested."
Clamps!
He turned his head behind the door.
"Just enter!" say Bayu. He knew that Bara's gospel day would come to see him.
"My arrival doesn't bother me, does it?" tanyakanya.
"Don't worry, I know you came here to do your job."
"Oh, I'm not feeling good. Your wife hasn't realized yet, but I have to come see you."
"Lohs.... There's a Bara."
Andin walked over to Bara to make sure that the person who had just come was really Bara.
"Well, is Andin here?" Bara was also surprised to see people he knew were there.
"You know each other?" ask Bayu curious.
"My junior Bara's boyfriend on campus, his name is Valerie, his son is Mr. Saddam."
Bayu just found out that Valerie and Bara are dating. But, why was it that Mr Saddam wanted to betroth his daughter to him?
"Who is dating, Brother. Valerie and I were only ever close friends."
"Friends but like each other, right?"
Bara scratched his head, "Sir Andin himself why is it here?"
"Mister Bayu's wife is my best friend."
Mangguk-mangguk.
"You.... Why is it here? Don't tell me you want to arrest Mr. Bayu, Bara.... "
I was confused to give an explanation. Because in reality, he had indeed come to carry out his duties.
"Mahr.... You're going too far to arrest Mr. Bayu now. His wife is still there, unconscious. Can't you be a policeman with a sense of humanity?" Andin nagging. Making Bara even more unwell with his presence there.
"You know what not? My best friend has no family, his three children are small. If you catch Mr Bayu, who will take care of him and take care of his children?"
"Andin, don't make Bara's position go awry. Let him come to carry out his duties." Bayu said after seeing Bara's expression of confusion faced with scolding from Andin.
"Ckckl.... Looks like your enemies are a lot now, Bara. You can catch your girlfriend's father."
"We're not dating, brother."
"Now you also want to catch the husband of my best friend. I think I'm gonna be hostile to you."
"Ah.... Why is my profession the enemy of society? My goal is to protect society." Bara muttered. "I just picked up Bayu for interrogation purposes. If he's innocent, we'll set him free."
"Certainly, yes.... Do not let there be a torture event first so that witnesses will admit mistakes that are not committed." an am Andin.
"Yes, Brother Andin. I'm a dedicated cop, I won't deny my own words."
"I hold your word."
Andin doesn't really know the problems Bayu faces. But, seeing that she is Prita's husband, Andin is convinced that Bayu must be innocent. Maybe he just got slandered or did something because he was forced, for example under threat. That could have happened.
