The Sarmi residence.
Sarmi was very restless, already a few hours ago his three children went to look for Syakila, but among the three of them no one had returned home, or contacted him just to give information. Have they found Syakila or not?
He sat quietly, standing still restless. He was pacing alone in front of the flaming television. He was really worried, Syakila was not in the hospital, Syakila had not come home either. So where did the girl go?
Brom!!
Sarmi opened the door quickly when she heard the sound of a car stopping. He gets out and sees Ijan lowering Geo from the car. He only saw Ijan and Geo who came down from the car. He did not see Syakila, his face turned moody.
Does this mean Geo did not find Syakila? What about Hardin? Fatma and Johansyah? Did they also not discover the existence of Syakila? My son, where are you, son? What keeps you from coming home?
”Mama, ”
Geo greeted Sarmi who was standing in the yard with a sad face. He implied Ijan to go from his hands that went up. Ijan left after he nodded in understanding at the gesture given by his master.
”Geo... Syakila..”.
”Mama, come inside. Outside too cold, not good for health if too long exposed to the night wind.” trim Geo flat.
Sarmi said he turned his body, went back inside the house. What he said was true, especially if he had ever suffered from wet lung disease. Geo pushes his own wheelchair after Sarmi enters the house. He closed the door.
”You didn't find Syakila? Where is Hardin, Fatma, also Johansyah?” ask Sarmi. His face still looks sad.
”I didn't look for Syakila all the way to the park. I was just looking for him at the hospital, and at the place where Syakila karate used to be. But Syakila was not in either place. Sister-in-law and sister-in-law were looking for her in the park. Perhaps Syakila was there to be alone.” said Geo calmly.
”Nak, did you and Syakila quarrel before?” sarmi hesitated to ask.
Geo saw Sarmi. Her mother-in-law was looking at her with a sad face and a sad look, hoping for an honest answer from her.
”No, Mah. Why did Mama think me and Syakila were going to fight? We're both fine, Mah.”
”Then, why did you tell Syakila to visit Sardin? Did Syakila make a mistake with you? Do you have to tell Syakila to leave when you're mad at her?”
Sarmi remained calm in front of Geo, however, he was unable to hide his hurt feelings. His eyes were glazed over, still looking at Geo.
”Mama, what do you think of me? How could I have done that to my wife, myself!!”
Sarmi. He lowered.
If the two of them didn't fight, what was the reason Geo had Syakila go to the hospital to see her ex-boyfriend?
”Mama, Mama don't think much of a no-no. I don't want Mama to misunderstand me. I told Syakila to go to the hospital because someone was following our car when we got out of the movie theater. I thought they were one of my enemies hunting me. I don't want to involve Syakila in it. So, I sent and delivered her to the hospital.” Geo said.
Sarmi remained silent. Slowly her tears fell down her cheeks hearing Geo speak. He did not want to believe Geo's words, Geo just gave a ridiculous reason. How can Geo have enemies within this city, while Geo lives in city A? Think Sarmi.
”But, unexpectedly, the person who hunted me turned out.he wanted to hunt Syakila. He was told by someone to hurt Syakila.” Geo continued.
”A..what? That person.i..want to injure Syakila?” said Sarmi nervously in her shock, her eyes widened.
”Yes, that person is looking for Syakila, not me. I arrested one of those men and interrogated him. He claimed to be paid to find Syakila by someone. I'm trying to figure out who that guy is!”
Geo stopped talking, he saw Sarmi who was looking down while thinking about something, her face a little pale.
”Is there anything Mama wants to tell me? Has this family ever offended anyone before?” tanyanya.
Sarmi looks up, sees Geo. In her mind comes back to the events that took the life of her husband in the city of A. Is he worth telling Geo about it? Meanwhile, Sarmi has been covering up the incident for several years. In fact, he did not tell that to his other children. He also told Syakila and Fatma not to talk about it to his other sister and discuss it in the future. Then, should he tell Geo that? In fact, Johansyah, his other ex-son did not know that.
Do I have to tell Geo everything? How can they know our position in this city now? Are the descendants or relatives of the late Kevin already aware of our whereabouts and have now started targeting my family for revenge?
Sarmi turned towards the door when she heard the sound of a motorbike stopping in front of her house. He knew the sound of the motorbike was the sound of his son and his daughter.
Pushed open from outside, Fatma immediately entered the house and sat slamming herself in the chair beside Sarmi. Not long after, Johansyah came in. He sat next to his wife.
”You didn't find Syakila?” ask Sarmi.
Fatma shook her head weakly. Hardin immediately went inside the house, he slammed his helmet on the floor. Everyone in the room was surprised.
”Hardin!! Where's your manners?!” sarmi and Fatma.
Hardin ignored Fatma and Sarmi. There was clearly anger on his face. He approached Geo.
Uhhh!!
He punched Geo's left cheek strongly. The corner of his lips was bleeding. Sarmi, Fatma, Johansyah, even Geo himself was surprised by what Hardin did.
”Hardin!! What are you doing?!” sarmi Hardik.
Hardin ignored his mother's clasping.
”What have you done to my sister?!” ask him to Geo. His voice rose, his hands clutching Geo's collar.
Geo's hands clenched tightly, both jaws hardened strongly. His gaze piercingly looked at Hardin.
This guy if I don't get back at him he'll have another chance to hit me. Does he think that with my situation like this I can't beat him up?
Uhhh!!
Uhhh!!
He punched Hardin twice in the face and he pushed Hardin's body firmly away from him. Hardin fell on the floor, both corners of his lips spilling blood.
”Don't you think with my situation like this, I can't repay you?! You underestimated me too much, Hardin!! Don't think I can tolerate all your deeds!” said it. He wiped the blood on the corner of his lips.
”Hardine! Geos! What the fuck are you two doing?” snapped Sarmi. He approached Hardin who had fallen on the floor. He helped Hardin stand up. Johansyah and Fatma watched it with fear on her face. They did not want to interfere, they were afraid to see the murderous face that emanated from Geo's face. Moreover, they were self-conscious, if they did not know any martial arts.
Hardin took his mother's hand off his arm. He wiped the blood from both corners of his lips. He walked back to Geo.
”Hardin!!” sarmi shouted as Hardin again threw his fist at Geo, Geo dodged.
Geo caught Hardin's hand. He wanted to punch his sister-in-law in the face, but she held him back. Because Sarmi fell limp on the floor looking at the two of them who were fighting strength.
”I did sit in a wheelchair, but don't underestimate me!! Catch that!!” said it. He pushed Hardin's body away from him. However, this time open a strong push, only making Hardin's body shift backwards.
”Already, already!! Just stop!! What are you guys fussing about? Aren't you worried about not returning Syakila?!” sarmi said firmly, his voice rising.
”This is all because of him, Mah!!” sahut Hardin was still filled with anger while pointing at Geo.
”She's already made sister suffer, because she's sister broke up with the guy that sister loves, because she's sister is unhappy, because she's also now sister disappeared. He is not worthy of a brother!! Leave my brother, Geo!!”
Fatma and Johansyah did not expect the words spoken from her sister's mouth. Likewise with Sarmi, he stood even though his legs were still trembling to stand. He approached Hardin.
Plaque!!
Sarmi slapped Hardin's cheek hard. Fatma was surprised to see it.
All this time, I've never seen a mother so mad at us, her son. Even though we were guilty, Mama never flirted. Hardin is too much.
”Are you aware of your words, Hardin? Who do you want a divorce for Syakila? Aren't you thinking about your brother's reputation when you talk so sassy?” sarmi.
”Apologies to your sister-in-law. Now!!”
”Ta..but Mah__”.
”Stop!! Mama doesn't want to hear your refuting remarks!! Quickly apologize to your sister-in-law!” sarmi firmly supports Hardin's speech.
”No will!! From the beginning, my sister was unhappy with him. He's a rude man and likes coercion. Syakila will suffer if she continues.” said Hardin while looking hard at Geo. He left the room after speaking. He went to his room still in anger.
Geo was silent to see Sarmi. He did not deny Hardin's words. Syakila was not happy with him since the beginning of marriage. The man Syakila loved was not herself either. But over the past few weeks he has changed a lot for Syakila. He also opened his empty heart to Syakila, until the woman filled the entire niche of his heart.
However, he did not want to make the woman he loved unhappy. He will give in, take off, for the woman's happiness. Especially among those who are already planning to split up. Syakila's parents, knowing this now or later is the same value. So let Sarmi know that now. Syakila, the woman was very kind, gentle, loving and loving. While he was a selfish, evil man...
Sarmi cried, what her son said was true. Syakila is unhappy with her marriage to Geo. But they were both married and in their lives, they did not allow divorce.
”Mama, quiet Mama, who is patient! Hardin's words are not important.” said Fatma while hugging, caressing the back of her mother. Eyes glazed.
”Fatma, where is Syakila? Where the hell did he go? Mama was so worried about him now, Mama didn't think much of Hardin's words. Mama thinks about Syakila's safety, it's late at night. Where he is now, his phone is also inactive. The child was never like this.” said Sarmi still with tears.
”Mama...” that's the only word Fatma can say. He didn't know how to respond to it.
”I'll get divorced with Syakila after I recover. I will not hinder the happiness of Syakila.” said Geo.
Fatma and Sarmi are surprised to see Geo. They did not expect Geo would take Hardin's remarks seriously.
”Ta.tapi__”
Sarmi's words are contradicted by Geo's departure from the room. Geo went to his room.
”Ba.. how can Geo talk like that.dia and Syakila.. no...” shirk Sarmi said.
Fatma and Johansyah looked at each other in sadness and confusion. What should they do now?
”Mama, we'd better do it tonight. Tomorrow, if Syakila has not returned home, we report the police only, let the police who are looking for the whereabouts of Syakila.” said Fatma gently.
”For Geo's greeting, wait for Syakila's arrival. They'll talk to each other. I know in our lives, divorce is forbidden. But, if the destiny of Syakila is like that, we cannot oppose the destiny of the powerful. We can only follow the path of his destiny.” continued Fatma said.
Sarmi. Thinking of Fatma's words slowly, speechlessly, he forced his still trembling limp-foot to stand up. He stepped into his room without making a sound. Only the sound of sobbing could be heard.
Fatma stood up from her squat. Looking at her husband, she smiled a little to see him smiling to calm himself down.
”We'd better get married now, let Hardin, Geo, and mama calm her down tonight. Hopefully tomorrow, everything is fine.” said Johansyah.
Fatma nodded, she followed the footsteps of her husband who led her back to the room. Before leaving the room, he turned his head once again to look at his mother's tightly closed room.
This time my mother was really angry. For the second time I saw my mother like this, angry, crying, helpless like this. First time papa died and this...Papa what should we do? O Allah, fix everything, so that all is well. I don't want my sister to divorce her husband. I don't want my sister and her brother-in-law to continue to be guilty. I don't want to see my mother sad and fragile.
”Iya, hopefully everything is fine tomorrow.” he said later.
”Iya, we are charitable only. Hopefully in line with our expectations. We are one family, I also do not want this family to fall apart.” Johansyah said.
