CONFINEMENT

CH 99 - MAJOR DECISION PART II

While that afternoon at the Banjar Manguntur medicine hall,

"Jero Kanta, how is Gek Sekar and the little boy?" said Jero Pecalang while stepping into the Banjar Manguntur medicine hall.

Balian Kanta was seen welcoming the arrival of Jero Pecalang, the two men were sitting in a chair in the corner of the room.

"Has Nak Mas Muhibbin returned from Surau An Nur after his brother's service yesterday?" ask the Batubulan village security leader again.

"Not yet, Jero."

"Since yesterday after the burial of Ni Mas Cahaya, I haven't seen him here."

"Is it possible that he's still mourning and doesn't want to leave the funeral of his mother and sister?" balian Kanta replied to Jero Pecalang, The old Physician sighed deeply before continuing his words.

"About Sekar and Muhibbin's nephew, the two children are already going through a critical period,"

"Only for the Holy Kingdom, the condition of the burn still needs further handling because almost the entire body has burns."

"Astungkara all puja on the Gods, the child can still survive."

"And for Sekar, the lance scar on his chest I have dealt with, although the wound is severe but not as severe as that experienced by Muhibbin's nephew." balian said explaining the situation of Sekar and the Holy Kingdom to Jero Pecalang.

"Thank God Jero Balian, this incident is heartbreaking and we must ask the Governor for justice to investigate all of this."

"From what I have seen and heard from my men, the people of Manguntur do not accept what has happened to Jero Mekel and his family, I am afraid that the residents will riot to avenge all these events, because according to the information I have received, this incident involves the Beach Country Bhayangkara" the man told the old Physician nearby, his gaze blankly looked towards the courtyard of the Manguntur banjar medicine hall.

"That's what I still don't understand, Jero."

"We know together, all this time Jero Mekel is a figure of our fair and wise village."

"During this time the late Jero Mekel also I see no enemies or bad records in the community."

"All these events are beyond our minds, so that some are so willing to slaughter and cruel to their families."

"I understand what the people of Manguntur feel."

"Therefore it is better that one of us ask the views and advice of a wiser man to see all this and to be more explicit, you ask the opinion of Mr. Sirkun."

"However, all this time the late Jero Mekel was close to the generous businessman from the Coconut Country."

"Maybe from youth you will get the best solution to reduce the turmoil of the citizens" Balian Kanta told Jero Pecalang.

"It's best to have your men follow Muhibbin in Surau An Nur, I'm worried about the situation."

"The young man is currently mentally unstable, I'm afraid that things will happen that we don't want to him." added the old Physician back.

Jero Pecalang nodded his head, the face of the Batubulan village security leader looked tired and bore the burden of the events that occurred in his territory in recent times.

"Then, I will currently face the residence of Sirkun's lord, Jero Balian."

"Let my men follow Nak Mas Muhibbin in Surau."

"If there is any development with the two children soon you will let me know. Some of my men will accompany you here." said Jero Pecalang to Balian Kanta before the man left the Banjar Manguntur medical hall.

Balian Kanta nodded lightly and delivered Jero Pecalang at the door, he saw the Batubulan village security leader until his back disappeared unseen in the distance.

The City of the Coast,

It looks like Mr. Timoti is about to move out of Mr. Bendowo's room after ensuring the health condition of the heir of the Garuda Gold Dynasty, which he said,

"Kang Mas, Ms Yu! I said goodbye to prepare everything and immediately contacted Haryo and Dewi to discuss the marriage between Seto and Wati."

"I will also meet Mr. Sirkun to rent and use his Selasar House of Culture building as the venue for Wati's wedding party later." said the head of the coastal State to Mr. Bendowo and Mrs Warika.

"Return as best you can, Tim."

"This is also your vision as Wati's biological parents." replied Mr. Bendowo softly, mister Timoti nodded and smiled at his brother who was lying weak.

The leader of the Coast Country stepped out but suddenly Madam Warika got up and said,

"Wait, Tim!"

"There's something Mbak Yu wants to tell you" said the old woman holding back Mr. Timoti.

"Pi, Mami's out for a minute."

"There's something Mami needs to tell Timoti."

"And you're Wati, please take care of your Papi for a moment, son."

"There's something Mami needs to tell your father" Ms. Warika told her husband Bendowo and daughter Sariwati.

Mrs Warika stepped behind Mr. Timoti, after not long before the two reached the central room of the governor's residence.

"Team, there's something I want to tell you" said Madam Warika, her face looking towards Mr. Timoti in front of her.

"What's up, Ms Yu?"

"What will Mbak Yu say with regards to Wati's wedding preparations?" ask the Coastal Leader.

Madam Warika sighed before answering her brother's question, her gaze glaring through the sidelines of the trees seen next to the window of the middle room.

"I want to tell him and his family that Wati will soon be married to Seto."

"I do not want there to be a misunderstanding like the other day when the young man with his family came here." said Madam Warika lirih, now his gaze was fixed on Mr. Timoti who was sitting in front of him.

"Did the young man that Mbak Yu meant Muhibbin?" asked Mr. Timoti before continuing his words, Madam Warika nodded her head.

"Yes, Tim."

"I'm a woman, I know what Wati feels."

"Our daughter loves the young man very much, although I heard from her lips that Wati had no feelings for the young man.

" I want the Youth to also be able to release Wati willingly as well as Wati" said Madam Warika.

Mr. Timoti was seen sighing, the middle-aged man stood up and stepped towards the window of the middle room, his gaze blankly looking out the window, the orchid plants and roses in the yard slightly cooling his vision.

"I know what Mama Yu feels."

"If I had known from the beginning that Wati had a relationship with the young man, I probably wouldn't have asked Kang Mas Bendowo to match Wati and Seto, the children of Haryo and Dewi." said Mr. Timoti full of regrets.

"I know it's not easy for Wati and the young man" Yu said."

"I've experienced it with Widyowati before, maybe Ms. Yu still remembers my marriage to the son of a village chief on the slopes of Mahameru" the Governor of the Coast to Madam Warika.

"Yes Tim, I remember."

"Then from that, I don't want Wati to be sad."

"Perhaps with the sincerity of the Youth to release Wati, then our child's life will not be burdened in the future with Seto, Tim" said Madam Warika.

"You know where the young man and his family are?" the old woman asked Mr. Timoti.

"The young man is currently in the holding room of Bhayangkara command center, Ms Yu."

"And his family" Mr. Timoti stopped his words,

"What happened to that young man, Tim? until it's in the holding room."

"What's the family, Tim? madam Warika asked curiously, the woman's eyes stared intently at Mr. Timoti.

With a heavy sigh, Mr. Timoti tells everything in full, from the killing of the Muhibbin family to the cause of the Youth to curl up in the detention room of Bhayangkara command center.

"Oh my God, poor is the fate of the boy."

"Then did you find out and investigate who the mastermind of the mess was, Tim?" madam Warika asked back, did not feel the old woman's tears glistened and with the back of her hand she wiped it.

"The temporary investigation of all this leads to Habsari, Ms Yu" replied Mr. Timoti lirih.

Hearing his sister's words, Madam Warika was surprised and unexpected,

"Could Habsari do all this."

"What really enters the child's mind? until he can do this cruel thing."

"I don't think about Habsari's behavior" said Madam Warika while crying.

"What would happen if Kang Mas Bendowo heard all this? madam Warika is back.

"Either Madam Yu, this is what makes my position a dilemma."

"However Habsari is my nephew, my family."

"But on the one hand justice must be done." exclaimed Mr. Timoti with an angry face.

"Please Tim, don't you punish your nephew."

"Find another solution so that Habasari will not be allowed to participate in the incident."

"I beg you, Tim!" piba mrs Warika to mister Timoti.

"I didn't promise Ms. Yu,"

"All this depends on the sincerity of the Youth" said Mr. Timoti.

"Take me to him, Tim."

"I'll beg him not to extend all these problems."

"If we need to give him treasure to compensate for everything that has happened" the old woman exclaimed as she wiped her tears.

Mr. Timoti just fell silent, his mind drifting indeterminately towards your direction suddenly the man said

"Let's let's get Mbak Yu to meet the young man."

"Once and again I will meet Mr. Sirkun in preparation for Wati's wedding." concluded Mr. Timoti.

Madam Warika stepped following mister Timoti who first came out towards the front yard.
