Rima wants to move

62 (Last)

The seven men and four women stared at the boarding house they once occupied with sad hearts. The scenery in front made the clear circle slowly start to decay.

Ivan and Ary, sitting in front of the yellow line, stared at the room in their former worst condition compared to the rest of the room.

When police officers allowed the four occupants to enter the crime scene, Ivan and Ary did not waste the opportunity. Same with Satya and Zein.

They set foot carefully so as not to damage the evidence. Zein spoke to the officer who was taking notes. Ary headed towards his former room and was stunned when he saw the condition of the shattered room on his front. The back is just a little messy.

Same with Ivan. He crouched down and took pictures in several places in his former room. Then it immediately came out for fear that the top floor would collapse.

Satya took some of her belongings and Chandra who was still left behind, of course after being allowed by the officers.

"The explosion is a type of low explosive power. But since it exploded in the kitchen, snatching onto a gas canister, it destroyed part of the back of the house. While the other parts just break the glass and drop light items such as curtains or wall clocks. The rest of this building can still be occupied after repair," explained AKBP-ranking police officers to the residents of the boarding house.

"Thank you for the explanation, sir," said Rama.

After the police officers left, they all moved outside the boarding house area, and the entrance to a small alley near the rice stall, where they were staying, to visit Bi Ai's house located in the village area behind the complex.

The middle-aged woman greeted their arrival with heartbreaking sobs. He hugged Dinar and friends in turn.

"So, how, Bi, would you like to come work with us?" ask Ayu.

"The problem is the cost of the motorcycle, we will pay. Aunty just came and worked as usual" Dinar said.

"It's not far from here, Bi. Only a few kilometers away. Want, yeah, Bi?!" persuade Tia who got the nod of approval from the others.

"Yes, deh. Aunty wants to," Bi Ai replied who was immediately greeted with a hug by the four women.

Then they went back to the temporary refugee house by riding in two cars owned by Zein and Rama.

"I thought, they let us move first, just blew up the house" said Ivan who became a driver in Zein's car.

"It was also the result of the analysis of Hana's father and his men. Because gini, if they really intend to kill us, maybe when they moved in that morning, the bomb was dropped in the kitchen. Timer set to explode when we're home. It's not like it was blown up when we just sort of moved things," said Zein, who was sitting next to Ivan.

"Hmmm. Looks like we should go see Rey and Kris. Maybe they know something" suggested Ary who sat in the back seat with Satya.

"Later on. We'll take care of the move first. I actually live in the house of the Word. But it's too far from the office. Ribet," chirped Tia who was sitting with Triska in the middle seat.

The men also agreed to Tia's proposal. They continued the conversation with other conversation materials.

The figure of the woman wearing a champaka-colored wedding dress walked slowly around the house that looked lonely.

Four police officers guarding this place seemed to be resting while joking with the men who were patrolling.

Rima stopped in front of the room once occupied. He went through the door and into the room. His eyes glared at the collapsed ceiling of the room at the front. The broken windows scattered everywhere.

The sweet-faced woman pulled up a chair that never moved. The chair was always in the kitchen. And he used that thing to be a transfer of energy, so he could always be here.

Brraaakkk!

Rima banged the chair against the room divider wall. He sat on the object and began to sing his favorite song, while combing his long, tangled hair.

After she finished singing, she stood up and looked around the room. Keep all the memory of this place, before floating through the door and around inside the house. Entering each room while singing.

His movements stopped in front of Zein's used room window. From the broken window he saw a car passing slowly in front of the house. Somehow he still stayed where he was as the car spun and passed the house back slowly.

Rima flew up and chased after the car. Forced in and sat in the middle seat. His eyes were rubbed with a pair of narrowed eyes belonging to Tasya. In the driver's seat, Brian remained focused on driving.

"We'll see you again" said Tasya.

Rima bergeming. He began to understand who had actually planted the bomb in the house.

"Why?" One question sentence slid from Rima's lips.

"This is our way of protecting you from the rest of the syndicate. This is also Rey's idea. On condition that no one becomes a victim of this event" Tasya replied.

"In fact, if you follow Eric's orders, your friends might have been dead a few days ago. But we didn't, because they had nothing to do with us at all" Brian said.

"With this event, Eric knows that your friends are dead. After this they will be safe. This is the agreement we made to change Rey and Kris's freedom from prison. And Eric doesn't know about this either" Tasya said.

"To the owner of the house we have also given money to replace the cost of damage. So that he can rebuild the house again" continued Brian.

"We only ask that your friends do not interfere further in this matter" Tasya said.

"Then, what about me? Are you guys gonna keep protecting Koko? He must be responsible for my death!" rima Strictly.

Momentary silence. Tasya kept looking at Rima without the slightest fear. "Patience a little more. When his task in our group is done, he will turn himself in. It was his promise to me, you can hold my word," Tasya explained. Then the pregnant woman turned her body forward. Quiet until finally the car stopped near the park complex.

Rima floated down and looked at the car disappearing in the darkness of the night. Then he disappeared, leaving a pitch-white smoke in the middle of the road.

"Well, right?" triska asked Zein who was sitting on the porch.

"Yes. It was a backpack in Rama's room" the handsome man replied as he sipped his drink.

"Abang, the departure can not be pushed back again?" asked the beautiful woman in a trembling voice.

"No way, honey. It also took a few days off. Additional leave because brother wants to visit somewhere first," Zein replied with a smile. He deliberately did not reveal any plans to go to Triska's parents' house. Let it be a secret between him and the other residents of the rented house.

Triska lowered her head to hide her eyes that were beginning to dew. However, everything he held back finally spilled on Zein's shoulders embracing him from the right side. The man's hand rubbed his lover's shoulder. Put his head on Triska's head. Keep quiet and give time so that Triska can be satisfied crying.

The next days passed very quickly for Triska. Each Zein said goodbye to his boarding house after delivering it home, Triska was only able to smile while enduring the pain in her heart. Spilling all the sadness in his room. Crying while covering her face with a pillow.

Saturday morning, Rama suddenly invited Triska and friends to visit. Of course, the invitation was welcomed by all residents. They're getting ready soon. After everything was done they set off, with Satya and Chandra sitting in the back seat.

"Where are we going anyway? How is this heading to Sukabumi?" ask Triska confusedly.

"Emang is going to Sukabumi, honey. We want to play at your house" replied Rama casually.

"Mas, answer honestly. What's the matter exactly?" Triska advanced her body into the middle of the car. He snorted in annoyance as Rama did not answer his question and only smiled knots. Making him even more confused when the others also act the same as Rama.

Arriving at her parents' house, Triska was even more surprised when she realized that all her family had gathered. Coupled with the presence of Zein, Adi and Firman, as well as both parents Firman and a couple who had been introduced to him some time ago. Om Hermawan and Aunt Ratih.

His boarding friends also attended, including Hasni who came with his future wife.

"Shock, huh?" zein asked as he pulled Triska by the hand and invited her to sit together on the living room sofa.

"Yes. What the hell is this? Did I get a prank?" Triska asked back.

"In fact, the arrival of your brother here is to propose to you directly. Well, I'm the same Mom did accept my brother's proposal, but you want to hear a direct answer from you" Zein explained while kneeling on one leg. His right hand moved to take something out of his pants pocket, and held it out before Triska who had suddenly covered her mouth with her hand.

"Triska, Honey. Would you marry me?" ask Zein while opening a small jewelry box and showing the contents to the beloved woman.

Triska was silent for a while. He turned his eyes to his parents, who looked back at him while nodding slowly.

"The hunt is answered. Brother's feet ache," whispered Zein who made Triska aware.

The woman looked at the face of the man she loved so much with teary eyes. Slowly he nodded as he said, "Yes, I doo."

Zein almost rushed to embrace Triska, but for now she can only resist the feeling of embracing her lover, and only able to say,"Alhamdulillah. Thanks, yeah."

Triska who was still stunned answered him with a big smile and a tight hand. The two looked at each other for a moment, before Zein finally put the ring on the ring finger of Triska's left hand, which suddenly became embarrassed.

The screams and laughter of friends finally made the two lovebirds aware of the current situation. Then Zein sat back down, and they started talking about a marriage proposal and contract event, which will be held in the near future. This is done so that the Zein extended family who will come from Riau, do not need to go back and forth. Of course this will also reduce the cost of airline tickets that spend quite a lot of funds.

Rima looked at her friends who were joking on the porch of Triska's parents' house. Their laughter rang out to the front fence of the house, as well as to the water guava tree where Rima was sitting leaning.

There was a sense of wanting to join them, but he was afraid that later they would be afraid to see his figure.

The late night made the assembled men disperse, and left home to return to the hotel where they were staying. All that was left was the women who stayed in the house.

Zein breaks down on a single mattress in a hotel room. His hands are folded behind his head. His mind was occupied with various thoughts, not realizing that Rima had been sitting on the chair that was right under the window.

"Dadeuh. Why come here?" ask Zein. He turned to the right to make sure that Rama had fallen asleep.

"I'm not taught ?" rima Sudang.

"No need to be invited also nongol himself," said Zein while sitting down.

"Bang, I don't want to live in a kosan. None of you the house becomes quiet and not fun anymore" said Rima.

Zein shook her head, inwardly she was worried about the sentence that Rima might say next.

"I want to move, and come with Brother!" firmly Rima with a widened smile. No matter Zein who grumbled while rubbing his face with his hands.

"Why not go with Irwan? Or stay with a friend in a rented house?" lamented the fat-haired man tiredly.

"No want! I want to come with Brother. Point. No comma!" Rima insisted. Until finally Zein flicked the shoulder sign of surrender.

The female ghost again smiled widely and clapped cheerfully. He can't wait to move to a new place. With human friends who understand very well about themselves.
