Albert residence.
Anton stops the car in front of Geo's fence. He got off the car. He looked at the mansion and opened the gate.
”Sorry, who are you? Looking for who?” his face looked angry and his gaze was full of caution.
Anton was surprised by the appearance of a burly man in front of him. He thought there was no guard on the fence.
”Em..sorry, I'm directly in. I am Anton, his uncle Syakila, wife of Geo.” Anton introduced himself. ”I want to meet Geo. Is Geo home?”
”Oh...You're the uncle of the young mistress. The young master is inside, come, please wait for the master on the porch.” his face turned friendly and spoke softly.
Anton walked in and followed the burly man.
”Please sit! I will call the young master here.” said the burly man.
”Hum!” anton briefly replied. He pulled a chair and sat on the terrace, his eyes looking at the vast parking lot in front of the big house.
While the burly man entered the house.
.. ..
Inside the house.
The burly man walked up the stairs. He stopped for a moment when he passed Beni who went down the stairs. ”Mr Beni, there is a man coming looking for Mr Geo.” he said, telling.
Beni stopped his steps. ”Who?”
”He said, he is the uncle of the young mistress.” replied the burly man.
Syakila's uncle? Wh who? Anton's? Denise? What's up looking for Geo? beni's mind.
”Where is he?”
”There is on the terrace of the house, Mr.”
”Hum! You go get Geo in his room. I will come out to accompany him chatting.” Beni said.
”Good, Mr.”
Beni and the man resumed his steps. Beni who keeps stepping onto the porch of the house. And the man continued his steps up the stairs and continued to walk to Geo's room.
.. ..
On the terrace of the house.
Beni opens the door. He saw Anton sitting in a chair, looking at him, when he heard the door open.
”Beni.” greet Anton.
”Paman.”
They both shake hands. Beni pulled up a chair and sat down.
”Uncle, what's up here?” ask Beni.
”I'm looking for Geo. There are things I want to ask him.” replied Anton, soberly.
Beni's forehead shriveling. What's up dad? Looks like something's wrong! his mind.
.. ..
In Geo's room.
Geo opened the room door when he heard a knock on his door. He stood in the doorway.
”Sorry, Sir, it has disrupted Mr.” said the man while looking down.
”Hum! What's up?” ask Geo, gently.
”There is an uncle from the young mistress coming looking for Mr.” replied the man.
”Uncle Syakila?” geo gumam slowly. He saw Syakila for a moment. He walked three steps out of the room and closed the door.
”Where is he?”
”He is on the terrace of the house. Mr. Beni is accompanying him.”
”What did he say his needs were until he came looking for me?” ask Geo again.
”Sorry, Sir. He did not say his purpose. He just said he wanted to meet with Mr.”
”Ok! You go, I'll be there soon. Make a drink for him.” Geo's word.
”Good, Mr.”
Geo went back into his room. The man went from there. Execute the edict from his master.
”Who's looking for you? Why look at me like that? Very suspicious!” syakila.
”Now, I don't know who came looking for me either. But, you take it easy, the one looking for me is a man, not a woman. And you don't have to suspect me of anything. I only have one woman, you. Other women I won't care about, you're the only one I care about. If the woman who came to see me, I will invite you along to meet the woman.” she smiled at the end of her sentence. His hand held the soft cheek of Syakila.
Syakila fell silent, looking at Geo's eyes. There was a sense present on him when he heard Geo's words. Not as a woman, very happy to hear the soft word and recognition of feelings from her partner?
”I'll go see him. You rest well.” said Geo again. He kissed Syakila's forehead just left the room.
”Bast jerk! Always just kiss me suddenly!” Syakila muttered in annoyance.
”Who came looking for him, huh? What's Sardin? Ah, no way!” mumbling again. He was very curious about the person who was looking for Geo.
He wanted to go see her, but, his condition now did not allow him to leave. In addition, the two hoses that are still attached to his hand have been removed.
.. ...
On the terrace of the house.
”Do you know why Syakila suddenly resigned from her job? Though teaching is his ideals from childhood.” asked Anton to Beni.
Syakila did not come out of the job by herself. Syakila also revolted when she found out she had been fired from school. It was not the will of Syakila herself, but...It was Geo who took Syakila out of there. She was jealous when she found out Syakila met Sardin, your niece in front of the school.
”Sorry, I don't know that. It was a personal affair of Syakila herself. I also did not ask about his decision.” Beni replied, lying.
”Oh,”
”Where did you know that Syakila was out of her job?” Beni asked Anton.
”From my nephew, Sardin.” Anton replied.
Beni and Anton both turned their heads when they heard the sound of the door opening. Anton was a little surprised to see Geo walking upright, coming to see him.
”Beni, Uncle.” saya Geo. He shook hands with Anton. He pulled up a chair and sat down in front of Anton.
”Geo..you.
”Iya, Uncle. I don't have to pretend anymore in a wheelchair. Everyone in this house already knows that I'm cured.” trim Geo. He knew what Anton was going to say. ”Uncle looking for me? What is it gonna take?” tanyakanya.
”Yes, there is something I want to ask you.” Anton replied. His face turned serious and flat.
”What's Uncle?” ask Geo, curious. His face was serious too.
Beni was equally curious. He had no intention of leaving his seat.
”Do you know where Sardin is now?” ask Anton.
”Why did Uncle ask Sardin whereabouts, to me?” geo asked, he was getting curious. What happened to Sardin? And why ask Sardin to her.
”So afternoon a policeman called me. He said he found my bike lying on the side of the road. The front tire was hit by gunfire. He didn't find anyone there, just my bike. While my bike, Sardin is the one who uses it. I tried calling her number is also inactive.” Anton paused his words.
He saw a serious face on Geo and Beni. From the look on Geo's face, he knew that Geo didn't know about Sardin.
”Me and the police thought, this must be the action of someone, whether intentional or revenge. But, Sardin here has never offended anyone and is looking for trouble with anyone. With the exception..”.
”With me?” crop Geo. Which pointed to itself. He knows the direction of Anton's talks.
He also understood why Anton could think that it was possible. Sardin and himself are rivals of love.
Anton did not answer. He just looked at Geo.
”I know, me and Sardin are love rivals, in Uncle's eyes and in people's eyes. To win from him, I could have sent my men to destroy Sardin. But I don't have to plan all that. Sardin and I respect each other. So, I don't know what's going on with Sardin right now.” explains Geo.
”Uncle does not mean to accuse you. Thank goodness you have nothing to do with this. All right, I'll go home now. I hope Sardin is back home. If he hasn't come home until ten in the evening, I'll report the news of his loss to the police station.” he stands.
Beni and Geo stood up.
”Iya, Uncle. Uncle be careful on the road. Geo guessed, it was possible that they were Eg's people. If Sardin hasn't come home yet, please tell Uncle. With my abilities, I will help Uncle find Sardin.” Geo said.
”Yes, actually Uncle is not worried about the physical strength Sardin has. With his martial will, he could protect himself from the menace of the people. What worries me is that if he fights, the pain in his head will recur. If that happens, Sardin is not able to fight again.” Anton said.
”Headache?” Beni and Geo both repeat Anton's remarks.
”Yes, after the accident that he had at that time, his head was already sick a lot. There were still remnants of blood frozen inside. If performing the surgery again for the appointment, only twenty percent of the success rate. So, both of Sardin's parents didn't want to take the high risk. They only ask for medication only from the doctor, if Sardine's headache relapses.” Anton said again.
”What does Syakila know about this Sardine disease?” Geo asked, curious.
Anton nodded.
I became jealous of Sardin. The man got all of Syakila's heart, soul, and mind.
”Uncle go first. My wife must be worried, now.” says Anton.
”Iya, Uncle. Do not forget to tell me, if Sardin has returned home or not.” said Geo.
”Iya.” he also stepped away from Geo's house.
Beni and Geo sat down.
”What are you going to say this to Syakila?” ask Beni.
”No! Syakila will be crazy later.” replied Geo, ”Request on another to help Anton look for Sardin.”
”Ok.” Suhut Beni.
Geo stood up and entered the house. Beni looks like he's calling someone.
.. .. ..
In the city of S, the residence of Sarmi.
Sarmi is still crying in Biah's arms. He could not believe that his son would do that.
He and the late Halim always taught the good to all his children. How could Hardin be negligent on his responsibility to himself? Was Hardin not afraid of sin anymore?
”Already, already! All leave it to the police. Just follow the existing procedures.” said Biah. He persuaded Sarmi to be calm and patient.
Fatma, Yuli, and Ita are also saddened by Hardin, his only brother.
Sarmi and Biah stood up when they heard the sound of a car stopping in front of the house. They knew it was Johan and Johansyah who came.
”Mama, Aunty, wait for uncle inside only.” Fatma said.
Sarmi and Biah sat down again. They waited for Johan and Johansyah to enter the house.
”Assalamu 'Alaikum.” says Johan and Johansyah.
”Wa 'alaikum greetings!” tell them all.
Johan and Johansyah stepped in with flat faces. They sit on chairs, resting their backs.
”How, Pa?” ask Biah.
”Do not know Mah. Still under investigation.” replied Johan.
”What about women? Has he testified, told the truth?” ask Sarmi.
”Not yet, women are still fainting.” Johansyah answered.
”Astaghfirullah! How can this happen?” Sarmi was crying again. ”What has Hardin said?” tanyakanya.
”From Hardin's confession, he didn't do anything. He and the woman know each other and communicate with each other. Hardin did not deny that. He went to the hotel to meet the woman. But, arriving at the hotel, in front of the door of the room number given by women, Hardin suddenly fell unconscious when he felt a blow on his head. And when he woke up, he was already inside the room. She with the woman slept in the same bed, and without a single piece of clothing on both of them.” Johan said.
”Astaghfirullah! What is this experiment, Biah? Where is my fault? Why is my son like this?” Sarmi is getting sobbing.
”Patience! Everything will surely pass. The truth will be revealed. You calm down, look at your youngest, he's still sick. Take care of him until he heals. Hardin business, we leave it to the authorities.” said Johan.
Sarmi. He forgot about Endang who had been sick for three days in his room. Since getting a phone call from the police, he has focused on the problem of Hardin, ignoring Endang until now. In fact, he also did not tell his other children to see Endang.
”Iya, Johan. You're right! I've ignored Endang. Astarghfirullah!” Sarmi standing, ”I go to her room first.”
Biah and Johan nodded. Sarmi stepped into Endang's room. He opened the room door. He saw Endang sleeping.
”Did he have food all day? Sorry, Son. Mama has ignored you.” muttered as she walked closer to Endang.
He felt Endang's forehead, the heat was reduced.
Waking up feeling a touch on his forehead. ”Mama!” greet him, slowly. His voice sounds very small.
”Iya, baby! Are you hungry? Mama get food yah.”
Endang. ”Endang has eaten, in the bribe of Fatma's sister. How's my sister, Ma? Already out of the police station?”
Alhamdulillah! Thank you, Fatma. You noticed your sick sister when mom accidentally forgot about her.
”You heard from Fatma?” Sarmi turned around asking. Endang nodded.
Sarmi smiled, ” Don't think about your brother, ok? Your brother has the police to help him, you just restore yourself.”
”Iya, Mama.” replied Endang. He closed his eyes, rested. Sarmi kissed Endang's forehead and fixed his blanket.
He sat down for a while to accompany Endang. If Endang had really slept, then he came out.
Halim..Where is my fault in educating your children? What are these trials that are engulfing our families now? Hardin went to prison, Endang got sick.I'm dizzy Halim.
Her tears came back on both of her cheeks. He saw Endang who was asleep.
Sarmi wiped her tears and kissed Endang's forehead. He stood up and came out of the room. He went back to the front to meet Biah and Johansyah.
”How is Endang? If there is no change yet, we take him to the hospital only.” Johan proposed.
”No need. Heat decreases. He has slept.” said Sarmi.
”Have the police done a search for evidence at the hotel?” ask Sarmi.
”Not yet. While only the testimony of the perpetrator, the victim, and also the hotel guard. After that, we just look for evidence. Everything is done through procedure. We just wait for news from the police.” said Johan.
Sarmi nodded weakly.
