Destiny Syakila
eps 126s
In Syakila's room, Sarmi's residence.
Geo was still sitting pensively in his wheelchair. He looked back at the night sky from the window.
He recalled Sarmi's conversation, his old mama was with Johan, Syakila's uncle. There are many assumptions that arise in his thinking.
Kevin's? Halima? Halim's? What happened between the three of them? Did Kevin and Halim grudge each other over Halima?
Halima is the woman Kevin loves. Did Kevin take Halima from Halim? Or did Halim take Halima from Kevin? After that, Halim left Halima and married Sarmi? As for Kevin himself, he had already married Herlina, his mother Antonio and Marlina, when he knew Halima and Halim were no longer together.
Or is there something else that triggers a grudge between the two of them? If you look at the attitudes and actions in the Sarmi family, there is no way Halim will do that to Halima. All I know is that Halim values and respects the woman she loves.
When Halim and Kevin died, what date was it? Is it related to the case my father took? Is the name of Halim I read in the paper Halim, Syakila's father?
Father and Halim get to know each other when Halim comes to me to borrow some money. Why did Halim borrow that kind of money from dad? Isn't Halim's life lacking in nothing? So what is that money for? Sarmi, my mama did not know that, why did Halim cover it from his son and wife?
Geo recalls the time when Syakila and Sardin were in the park, when their relationship had to break up because Syakila chose to break up from Sardin and agreed to marry him.
Is it only Syakila who knows Halim borrowed money from dad? Is that why he agreed to marry me? Then Syakila knew what Halim was borrowing for?
Geo sighed heavily, ”Where are you Syakila? Are you all right? There are many things I want to make sure of you. Hurry home, everyone is worried about you.”
.. ...
On the way to find Syakila.
”We have searched three times in the area around the hospital. However, we do not find the bright spot of Syakila's existence. Sardin and his parents also do not know where Syakila is. Because they know Syakila has been home since half nine nights ago. Then, where else do we look for Syakila?” said Johan.
One of his hands held the steering wheel, the other held his right head, his elbow resting on the door of the car whose window glass was open. His eyes looked towards the left and right of the road, watching everyone who was caught by his five senses.
They had searched Syakila from the hospital area to the surrounding area, and went down the streets along the area from the hospital, but, many times they had searched again from the same place, they did not find Syakila.
”Hardin doesn't know either, Uncle. I tried to keep calling the number, but, the phone still remains inactive.” said Hardin.
”What about the police who searched the entire hospital, did they find the name of the patient named Syakila, Uncle?” ask Hardin.
”Om hasn't contacted them yet. Later they will call me to give you the information.”
Hardin remained silent. His eyes continued to pay attention to the faces of people who were still wandering around in the middle of the night like this. After hearing from someone that they saw a woman wounded and carried by a man, with the same characteristics as Syakila, who was also injured, Johan called the police to help find Syakila's whereabouts throughout the city's S hospital.
Trrtrtrrt. The voice of Johan's phone.
”That must be them! Answer the call, Hardin.” Johan said as he heard the ringtone from his phone ringing.
Hardin nodded, reaching for Johan's phone in front of him. He saw the caller id, exactly what Johan, his uncle said. The one who contacted him was his police friend. He answered the phone by activating the loudspeaker, so that Johan also heard the police speech.
”Halo, good night, Sir.” greet Hardin.
”Goodnight, is this Mr Johan talking to me?”
”Buk__”
”Yes, this is with me alone. Hows it? Did you guys find my bangs?” sahut Johan asked, refuting Hardin's remarks.
”Sorry, we checked all over the hospital, but, no patient named Syakila, nor the patient of an injured woman was taken to the hospital by a man.”
Hardin and Johan were silent for a moment. Their hopes are back.
”Alright, thank you for helping me find my bangkan.” Johan said later.
”Sama-sama, Mr. Johan. We will continue to search for the whereabouts of Syakila until we meet. If Mr. Johan and his family have found the whereabouts of Syakila, please tell us, so that the search is stopped.”
”Good, Sir.” Johan said.
”Good, good night, Mr. Johan. I close the phone.”
”Good, good night too, sir.” tut tut tut. Telephone disconnected.
Hardin kept the black flat object back in front of him. He breathed a rough breath.
”In the hospital also does not exist. Where'd brother go?” said it.
”We'd better go home. Hopefully the police can find Syakila.” Johan said.
Hardin did not. Johan continued to drive while looking left-right at the road. If there was a miracle, he could find Syakila on that street.
But his hope is empty. His car is parked in front of Sarmi's house. Along the way, he did not see his nephew.
Hardin and Johan got out of the car with sad, tired, and uninspired faces. They have been welcomed by Sarmi and Biah in front of the door of the house.
When Sarmi and Biah hear the sound of the roar of a stopped car, the two of them open the door as soon as possible.
They both looked sad to see the look on the faces of the two men who were walking closer to him, on their faces were painted with sadness.
”Mama, Aunt.”
”Sarmi, Biah.”
Said the two men together, after they faced directly with Biah and Sarmi.
”You didn't find Syakila?” sarmi and Biah asked along with a sad tone and a sad look also staring alternately at the faces of Johan and Hardin.
”Let's go inside the house.” invite Johan.
Sarmi and Biah said, they all went into the house. They all sit in chairs.
”How? Papa, is Syakila really not found?” Biah asked back.
Sarmi looked at Hardin who was looking down miserably. Sarmi finds out if they can't find Syakila's whereabouts. Sarmi's eyes were back in tears.
”We did not find Syakila. When we heard that a woman had been injured and taken by a man, I asked the police for help to find Syakila in the hospital. But, in all hospitals in this city, Syakila is not there.”
”Where did my son, Johan go?” sarmi asked with tears flowing back soaking her cheeks that were still moist because she continued to cry.
Biah immediately embraced Sarmi's shoulder and stroked her slowly. She looked at her husband who was looking at the ceiling.
Sarmi's question was not anyone who answered him. Whether it's Johan, Biah, or Hardin. If they wanted to answer, what would they say? Do they have to answer with words that can calm Sarmi? But they don't know where Syakila is? With who? And how's it going?
... ..
In Syakila's room.
”Syakila, everyone is worried about you. My fault! If only I hadn't sent you to the hospital, none of this would have happened! Maybe now we've been restful and sleep soundly.”
”I still hope the injured woman is not you, Syakila!!”
”Master!” greet Ijan with fear.
He knew why his master had contacted him. Nothing else but to inquire about the development of his young mistress' search. However, he was afraid to answer the uncertain outcome.
”Have you found the bright spot of Syakila's existence?” ask Geo.
”Ma.sorry, Sir. Ka__”
”What do you work like? Why find a woman only you can't? Send all my men and Beni's men to search for Syakila in this whole city!!” tut tut tut tut Geo turned off his phone unilaterally without waiting for Ijan's approval. He threw the phone to the bed.
”Stupid!! No use!!”
He looked furious, he squeezed behind his front hair that covered the eel.
”Syakila!”
He again grabbed the black flat object he threw in the bed. He re-opened the contact number listed there. He called back Syakila's number.
He felt pleased, a smile etched on his lips, this time the number of Syakila was active. Although Syakila hasn't picked up her phone yet. The phone is connected after two times Geo repeated calling.
”Halo.” greet someone over there.
Geo's frown heard the voice of the man who raised Syakila's phone.
Male voice!? Who her!?
”Halo. Who is this?”
Back Geo heard the man's words over there. Geo was silent.
”Ugh..Um..ah.!!”
Again Geo heard the voice behind his phone. This time, a woman's voice. His forehead was getting wrinkled, he knew the voice of the woman was the voice of Syakila.
Is that really Syakila? Where is he? He's with a man!!!
”You're up?”
Again Geo heard the voice of the man asking the woman he had heard.
This time Geo's face looked angry. He threw his phone against the wall of the room violently. The black flat object shattered into three pieces, the splashing of its broken screen splattering on the floor.
”Bigger!! Goddamn bum!! Fucking woman!! Cheap lady!!” mean it.
”Everyone is worried about him, whereas he is!! He had fun with a man!! Everyone looks for him like crazy. And he...!!”
”You're up?” Geo again imitated the man behind his phone.
He laughed sinisterly, the next minute he changed his face, an aura of anger emanating clearly in his eyes and on his face.
”All women are the same!! Cheapy!! Goddammit!! Why can I be interested in women again?”
”Syakila...!!!” frustrated screams.
He stopped all his murmuring. He came out of the room still with a flat face and full of anger. He went to Sarmi, Hardin, Johan, and Biah who were still sad in the family room.
”For what are you guys so worried like this?!” he said, after he got to the family room.
”Geo?! You__”
”Women like that don't deserve your worries like this!!” geo again cut Sarmi's speech.
”What do you mean?! Watch your words, Geo!!” snapped Hardin.
”You're worried about him, but him?! She was having fun with a guy!!” geo.
Hardin stood up from his seat, he raised his fist abruptly at Geo. Geo dodged and held Hardin's hand.
”Job!! Syakila disappeared because of you!! And now, now you're accusing my sister like that? Where are your hearts and minds, Geo?!” said Hardin.
”Syakila does not disappear!! She is having fun with a guy, maybe they are now in a hotel, they both might still want __”
Plaque!! Geo's speech contradicted with a sudden loud slap from Sarmi.
”What do you think of my son? Do you think my son is a cheap woman?! Comforter woman? Male lustful? You don't know my son very well, on what basis do you accuse my son of a no-no!?!” sarmi said firmly. Voice's up.
Hardin released Geo's hand which held his hand. He could not believe his mother dared to slap his daughter in the face. In fact, before Sarmi said, he would never hit his ex, he would only beat his own son if something happened to his son's household.
Johan and Biah were surprised to see Sarmi so, this was the first time they saw Sarmi's anger. But, they understand Sarmi's attitude, Geo deserves it. He's gone too far!
Geo stared intently at Sarmi, ”How dare you slap me!!” he said still with a flat face. ”My mother never hit me, even if it was just a joke. But you, whose status is only my in-laws, dare to raise your hand hitting me!!”
Hardin, Sarmi, Johan and Biah are shocked to hear Geo's sharp remarks to Sarmi.
”Why should I fear you!? You deserve that!!” sahut Sarmi's.
”Before you rebuke me, rebuke your beloved son. She is my wife, but still ties up with another man. And now, she is alone with a man__”
"What are you saying my son so badly!!”
Sarmi again raises his hand to hit Geo's cheek, however, Geo holds Sarmi's hand.
”I heard Syakila's own voice with a man when I called. So stop worrying about her! Your concerns and I are unfounded. I don't recklessly accuse your son of that, but, he alone shows who he is!” said it.
”What?” sarmi, Hardin, Johan, and Biah were surprised.
Without saying, Hardin grabbed his phone in his pants pocket. He called Syakila's number.
”The number is already active, but, can't receive calls.” he said later. He turned off the phone and re-called, but, still, could not answer the call.
”Look, after I managed to contact, he immediately busied his phone.” said Geo with a cynical smile. He threw Sarmi's hand.
Sarmi fell silent, her body taking a step back from Geo. His tongue was too weak to speak. Hardin brought Sarmi back to the chair. Johan and Biah were silent. The mood in that room. They were silent with their own thoughts.
Now that the time has shown at 03:30, their eyes do not feel drowsiness at all.
”You know what I heard when I called Syakila?” geo said to break the silence.
Hardin, Biah, Sarmi, and Johan just look at Geo without knowing.They know, the man who is in a wheelchair, in front of them is issuing his disappointed heart.
”When the phone was connected, a man who picked up his phone greeted me, asking who I was. Not long ago there was a cry from Syakila. Casually the man asked, to Syakila ”you are awake?” About what should I think by hearing their words?”
Geo stared intently at his interlocutor. All were silent, no one spoke Geo.
