DESERVEDLY

Chapter 47 - Difficult Choices

Rest a few minutes is enough to restore energy and make mental calm. Intan woke up after a few minutes asleep on the sofa waiting room UKS school. Intan checks Helen's phone first, replies to some messages from Devano, then swings a step closer to Gion who is still sleeping soundly. It was completely slumbering until Intan could hear a subtle snoring from him.

Intan's right hand advanced slowly. Gion's head gently rubbed, while channeling care and pity. Yes, Intan is concerned about Gion's mental state. In fact, Intan still remembered clearly the face of Gion who was so resigned, until he thought that disappearing was the best way for him.

"You deserve to be happy like other children" Intan said softly.

Someone touched Intan's shoulder. He looked around and found Helen there.

"Have you finished teaching?" ask Intan.

"Died once face-to-face today. The kids are still resting. Uhuh!" Helen opened the UKS curtain to show the children's activity at the break.

Intan's smile expands. He remembered the children in his class. The incident that befell him must have caused panic in some parties, but Intan hoped that the panic would not reach the ears of his students.

"You like kids, huh?" Helen opens the topic.

Intan nodded. "They are a generation of pride. Each of them had big dreams. And, it would be a happiness in itself if they saw success in the future."

As he said that, Intan imagined the students in his class. What Intan said just now became hope and prayer for the students he taught.

"I see you care a lot about children, especially about Gion. Do you have a lot of kids around?"

"A lot. Almost every day I play and learn with them in class" Intan said.

"You're a teacher too?" Helen's eyeballs widened, while her smile expanded. Helen immediately greeted warmly as Intan gave a nod in response.

"Our profession is the same" Intan said.

Helen shook Intan's hand. He did not expect that Intan was an educator, just like him.

"I'm glad to know you, Tan. On other occasions, we can talk a lot about education. Do you want to?"

"Can. I want to."

"Asiatic. Oya, what about Devano. Have been contacted. Em, briefly. Your phone."

Helen took a moment to the classroom. Intan's phone is charging there. More than half the power is already charged. Not bad, now Intan's phone can be used again.

"This. You can call Devano on your phone."

Intan is grateful. He returned Helen's cell phone, then took over hers. At that time, Intan also asked for a moment to contact several people. Her parents, Mira, are even principals at the place where she works. Intan did not say that he was a victim of kidnapping. Intan just explained that he was trapped in an unexpected situation.

"How, Tan? Smoothly?" helen asked as she saw the relief on Intan's face.

"I'll explain everything when I get back to my town."

"Then you can get into my contract. At least until Devano comes to pick me up. He said he'd come with Reynal, right?" Helen made sure, because she had just seen the contents of Intan's chat on her phone.

"Yes. Devano said, Reynal is a psychologist. So, he can help Gion."

Intan's attention returned to Gion. The top of the boy's head was gently rubbed back. Completely loving, like your own child.

Meanwhile, Sandhi and Fani are on their way to Devano's place. Sandhi was tired, but she kept her focus on driving.

"Sandhi, let me drive, yeah?" Fani's worried.

"I repeated my question at that time. How many times have you been driving?"

"Two times."

"Do you have a driving license?"

"Hehe, not yet."

"Then be useful by not saying much. Sleep if you're tired."

Fani pouting. His eyes were directed to the streets. The trees seemed to run as Sandhi's car was speeding. Unfortunately Fani did not enjoy the sight at all. He felt bad because at a time like this he could not help Sandhi.

"Hello, Rey. Hows it? Devano don't mind if I help him?" Sandhi received a call from Reynal.

Sandhi was silent for a while. He listened to Reynal's explanation of Intan whose location had already been found. Reynal also explained a little about the chronology of events that happened to Intan, of course the short version because at that time Intan also told a short story.

Furthermore, Sandhi suddenly took the initiative to join Reynal and Devano. However, Sandhi was aware of the position. He's a nobody. Intan will need Devano more than he does.

Sandhi was happy, but also sad at the same time. Happy that the position of Intan has been found, and sad that it cannot play a significant role in Intan's life.

"Geez!" fani's code, so Sandhi can quickly share information.

"The position of the Intan is known. She was kidnapped, even though she wasn't the one who was kidnapped."

Fani spontaneous applause. He was excited to hear the news about Intan. But, it suddenly fell silent as it failed to digest the last sentence Sandhi said.

"Intan was kidnapped even though it wasn't actually Intan who was kidnapped? How can I not understand, huh?"

"Your loading is a long time," Sandhi said.

Unexpectedly, Fani actually rent out Sandhi's ear. Really picked up like a bad boy who said brutal.

"Let's!"

"Your students should be ashamed to have a lecturer like you. It seems like the old loading person. What if I'm lola, huh?"

"Sorry" Sandhi said lightly.

"What kind of apology is that? Not very intent!"

Fani threw a look. He again looked at the trees as if running along with the fast pace of Sandhi's car.

That's when Sandhi noticed Fani. Not attention like a lover, but because Sandhi remembered again about Farel, Fani's older brother.

"Fan, Intan's been found. That means Farel no longer has a chance. Am I wrong to think that?" Sandhi seriously asked.

Fani did not answer. To be honest he himself was not sure, because the brother often had unexpected plans.

"You're not wrong. It's just ... May Brother Farel really give up." Fani smiled for a while, then looked back at the street.

"Then we go home. Reynal I'll tell you."

After saying that, Sandhi called Reynal. Not long. Sandhi just told her that she was going back to her city. Not to the city where Intan lives.

While Fani, her mind was completely piqued. Farel's shadow kept spinning in his head. The more thought out, the more Fani lost her composure. His heart was filled with worries about him, as well as Intan who did not want him to be involved at all.

"Intan doesn't deserve to be involved. But I don't want to go home. I'm getting comfortable in Sandhi's contract." Inner Fani.

Difficult choices. Fani must choose whether to stay in the city where Sandhi lived or go home to save several parties including Intan who does not deserve to be involved in his affairs.

"Eye, Sandhi. Can you ask for your opinion?"

"What?"

"May I change my mind? I mean, I'll just go home to Sister Farel. Let Brother Farel undo Intan's disturbing intentions." How brave was Fani's heart when she said that. But, he also did not feel good if the circumstances actually had to involve Intan. Moreover, Sandhi still harbored feelings for Intan.

Sandhi looked at me. He was silent for a while while observing the mimic of Fani's face.

"I don't agree." After saying so, Sandhi returned to focusing on the streets. "You don't have to sacrifice anything. Intan would definitely not agree if she knew your decision. There's gotta be another way."

Fani lethargic. It turns out the plan was not approved by Sandhi. And, that chat was the last chat until Fani and Sandhi got hired. Absolutely the rest of the journey is full of frost as each of them dissolves in the mind.

"Call me right away if there's anything critical. Take good care of yourself. I'll go home first."

Fani just nodded. He does not go directly into the contract, but rather waits for Sandhi's car to disappear from view. After that, Fani's tears flowed. She cried.

Farel's men have been deployed near the current Intan location. Farel moved very quickly to fulfill his ambition. With the money he had, it was so easy for his plan to be realized.

"Report, Boss. Devano Albagri and Reynal the psychologist have just left. The prediction until is three hours from now" explained assistant Farel.

"They lose fast. Intan I'll get it first for my brother Fani's return. My mom and dad's message should be fulfilled soon. Let them be happy in heaven."

Farel was silent for a moment while looking at the photo of his mother's father who had passed away. Farel's wife, she's next to him. He was accompanying her, but she could not argue anything. He even agreed, hoping that Fani could return to the main house soon.

"Hm? What'sthis?" Farel suddenly got a message. After that he laughed a lot. Not only stopped there, all the men who were ordered to bring Intan, he immediately pulled and the plan was canceled.

What the hell's going on? Who sent Farel a message?
