Rey who was running to the terrace suddenly fell into a hard floor.


The bait in the ancestral language flowed out from his thin lips. He could not get up because Rima was occupying the body and clutching her shoulder tightly.


The man tried to turn his body. After succeeding he pulled Rima's long hair.


The woman fought back by punching Rey in the face until she jerked back and hit the floor on her head.


"Ouch! Yes, Rima. Huh!" hardik Rey while removing Rima's hair and changing to block her wrist.


"What are you doing here?! Don't bother my friends!" shouts Rima. He tried hard to let go of Rey's hand. However, the stronger he got, the stronger the check got.


"It's none of your business!" reply Rey.


"Of course it's my business. They're my pals. And this is my house!" rima Strictly.


His eyes are still glaring. Rey suddenly releases a hand check when she notices Rima's elongated fingernails.


Rima stood up and took a step back. His eyes were still watching Rey's movements trying to stand up.


The man rubbed his shoulders, Rima's grip felt painful.


"I'm not going to hurt them. Believe me," Rey. He's trying to change the strategy. Speak softly to women. Skills he learned from his stepfather as well as Eric.


"I can't believe it! You and Koko are both evil!" rima Strictly. The woman raised her chin, as if challenging Rey to a fight again.


"I'm not evil. It will only be cruel with the enemy alone" Rey replied in a calm voice.


Rima fell silent and continued to look at Rey's face. Trying to find the truth of the man's words.


"Don't try to disturb them. Or I'll drag you to die!" threaten Rima with cold eyes.


Slowly his body faded, and disappeared behind the thick smoke. Leaving Rey still languid on the porch.

The coldness that touched his feet made Zein wake up. He opened his eyes and sighed in annoyance, when he saw Rima sitting on the edge of the mattress while pulling the edge of his blanket.


"What the hell? Disturb pisan!" hardik Zein's.


"awake. The chunky! I'm gonna talk. Very important!" rima Sahut.


Zein shook his head and pretended to close his eyes. Trying to ignore Rima.


The touch on his cheek made him open his eyes again. Grunting roughly as he looked at Rima who grinned in satisfaction.


"Tomorrow to talk. Now I'm so fucking sleepy!" firmly Zein while glaring.


Rima was not afraid, but she instead inched closer while holding Zein's arm.


"Five!" snapped Zein. The man finally really got up and sat up straight. Rubbed his tired face while yawning.


"I'm not leaving until you hear me!" rima Strictly.


"Yes, deh. Ja. What the hell are you talking about?" sahut the yellow-skinned man was fatigued.


"Rey. He .. Eric's accomplice." Rima's words left Zein flabbergasted. He shook his head slowly while squeezing his flap hair which started to lengthen.


"Related?"


"That's sure. In his car was a stick with a carved horse head on the end. It's a symbol of their group" explained Rima.


They looked at each other in silence. Soluble in each other's minds.


"I'll call my uncle. So that the intel can catch Rey," Zein said.


"Armghhhhh!" squealing Rima suddenly.


"Why again?" ask Zein.


"Kang Irwan's. He was again in Bandung. I'm afraid he's going to boarding and meet Rey!" rima Clear.


Zein hurriedly grabbed the phone that was charging. Pressing the screen in a hurry. Staring at the paled Rima while waiting for her phone to connect.

That morning Irwan woke up. Working until late midnight made him miss the alarm and dawn prayers.


The brown-skinned man rushed into the bathroom. Clean yourself up in a hurry. Wear clothes and shoes quickly. Snatching a cell phone and car keys from the table. Pulling a briefcase near the closet. Then get out of the room.


Arriving at work, she was fifteen minutes late. Clenching both hands in front of his chest as he entered the room in a hurry, Irwan finally sat in the very back seat.


He breathed a sigh of relief. Even though it is late but can still follow the meeting.


Thirty minutes later Irwan was already sitting in the boardroom. Faced directly with one of the company's owners, making it a little deg-degan.


This mature woman in front of him looked extremely graceful. Without needing to be haughty, his style looked extremely wise.


"How is Irwan, are you willing to be placed here?" ask Mrs Tantri.


"Ready, Mom. Wherever I am ready" Irwan replied firmly.


Mrs Tantri smiled. Her fingers pressed the phone button and called her assistant to come over.


A young lady in glasses came quickly. Listen carefully to Ms. Tantri's orders. Then go away again.


"Have you met Kayla? That one?" ask Mrs Tantri.


"No, ma'am" replied Irwan.


"Let's continue working with Kayla. Because I'm going back to England."


Irwan.


That afternoon, Irwan could see his phone. Hundreds of chats and dozens of calls have been in since 3am.


He frowned when he saw Zein's cell phone number, Rama and Triska took turns contacting him.


His finger pressed the phone screen and dialed the last number that called him two hours ago.


"Assalamualaikum, you finally called back too, Wan," said Zein from across the street.


"Vaalaikumsalam. Sorry, I was so bad. This just got off the meeting with the director. Can I help you?" asked Irwan with a warm voice typical of customer service.


"could. I want a double dokdok noodle. One pedes and one does not," continued Zein.


Irwan chuckles.


"Seriously, Zein. What's up?"


"You're still in Bandung?"


"Yes. Ehh .. how do you know I'm in Bandung?"


"long story. Don't go home until I get home. Wait for Rama nyamperin you later in the afternoon. He and Triska will clear everything."


"Hmm .. okay. Where are you now?"


"In Jakarta. InshaAllah this evening returns to Bandung. We'll see you tomorrow, yeah."


"Sip. I'll wait."


***


Rama patted Irwan on the shoulder several times. While Triska only experienced it politely.


They met at a restaurant in the Dago area. Enjoy a mundane dinner while having a serious chat.


"So that's the story? Ouch. I missed a lot of information," Irwan said in a trembling voice.


He is deeply moved when he hears Triska's story, about Zein and Satya's encounter with Rima.


Irwan also told his own story, which several times his wife visited. Continued with some expensive bouquets that are often found in the tomb of Rima.


"What does it mean that Eric lives in the Bogor area?" Rama knocks on the table while thinking.


"According to bang Zein's analysis, too. Unfortunately, twice to Eric's hideout, my brother still doesn't know where it is" Triska said.


"And, one more. I warned Zein not to go to the boarding house until she came home. What's up?" ask Irwan. He's very curious.


"That way, I don't understand either, Kang. But I think that Zein bang's speech is worth following. He must have had his explanation" Triska said.


"Hmm ... It seems you already understand the mind path of Zein, Ris," seduced Irwan while smiling widely.


"Ooo .. that's obvious. They already want a proposal," said Rama who immediately get a pinch from Triska.
