Fragrant For Galih

Ep. 103 Introgation

After the operation of a patient named Ali two days ago his condition improved and he was transferred to the hospital room because he had passed the critical period, although still weak but he was fully aware.

"How are the patients doing at the moment? Is it possible for us to ask for information about the problems that happened to him?" Ask Elias at work.

"She was fully conscious, though still limp she could already be spoken to." Answer Elias.

"So, can we see him?" Ask Galih again who was also with Romero at that time.

"Can, but do not be too forced because of seeing his psychic condition that may not be stable. So I beg you to be careful and you must stop immediately when he is no longer able to speak." Elias replied.

"Okay, we'll remember. Thanks." Answer Romero.

"Ah, why don't you ask each of your lovers? Tumben his name to me. Formal talk with you at work like this is awkward to know!" Said Elias who was a little upset with the behavior of Romereo who was his Junior High School friend and also Galih who was a friend and girlfriend Wangi his adopted sister.

"Scent cannot be contacted." Galih.

"Oh yeah, he's operating on an appendix patient." Elias Sahut.

"Zahara's phone wasn't picked up either." Romero.

"Hm... That's Zahara's phone, isn't it? From that sound on." Elias said, pointing to a cell phone lying on the table. Romero saw it and took it.

"Yes, it's Zahara's, but where's the guy?" Romero asked while observing Zahara's cell phone he was holding.

"It looks like he's going to the toilet again... Just ran out of the room, mules." Elias Sahut.

"Hadewh..." Teep jidat deh Romero.

"You go straight to the room, there is Lukman kok in the guard room." Elias.

"Okay, thanks El. Yuk!" Said Romero who rushed to invite Galih to meet Ali's patient.

And sure enough, when they were about to go to the patient room in the doctor's ward located in front of the hospital room there was Lukman and several nurses who were on guard duty.

"Why are you here?" Lukman asked when he saw Galih and Romero approaching him.

"We need a little Doctor's help." Romero.

"Help? What'sthat?" Ask Lukman back.

"We heard from Dr. Elias if a patient named Ali was fully aware and could be found." Galih.

"We want to ask permission to see him, there's something important about the investigation into the case involving him. Doctor Elias has allowed it and we hope Doctor Lukman can also work with us." Added Romero.

"Of course, anyways I don't want to hinder the investigation but on condition that you don't overdo it for a while because the patient has just experienced a terrible incident, this is for the sake of his mental health." Lukman said.

"Surely, the same thing was said by Doctor Elias earlier." Answer Galih.

"Then I'll drop off." Lukman.

"Thank you." "Thank you."

The Sahut Galih is almost the same as Romero.

Lukman leads Galih and Romero to a hospital room. There was only one patient in the room. Actually there are two, but one of the patients is doing surgery with Wangi as his doctor. The patient was Ali. His eyes seemed closed when the three of them entered, but then opened when he realized that someone was approaching his bed.

"Original..." Sapa Galih's.

"Who are you?" Ask Ali in his language.

"We're soldiers serving here. My name is Galih and he's my friend Romero. You don't have to be afraid of us, because you're safe here." Galih said that calmed Ali who looked very alert.

"Risha! Toling save my sister Erisha! I beg..." Ali pleaded with trembling lips and tears dripping from her brown eyes.

"Calm Ali... Speak slowly and tell me what happened to you at that time." Romero.

"You have to control your emotions because it's not good for your current health." Lukman reminded him of being a responsible doctor.

Ali then took a deep breath and nodded obediently, fortunately he listened to Lukman's advice and then began to tell stories.

"Every day my sister and I go to town to sell and send some fruit or vegetable orders to customers there. One day I heard there was a restaurant that was in need of employees and paid a hefty salary. I'm intrigued. Frankly I want to turn my life into a better life in order to make my sister happy the only family I have, so she doesn't have to work hard anymore. I also came to that place. From the outside it looked like an ordinary restaurant and coffee shop, but there was another room inside that surprised me. In the deepest room was where people gambled with the pungent smell of alcohol." Ali's Story.

"true." Reply Ali.

"Then why don't you just go out of there and undo your intention to work there?" Ask Romero.

"That's what I was thinking and I'm gonna cancel my job application. But... I can't." Ali said with his gloomy face.

"Why? Is it because of his huge salary?" Ask Romero.

"No, it's because they're sneaky. Before I was taken to the Casino room they had made me sign a stupid contract of work that I had not read in earnest yet to sign. A contract that says there's a fine of five million pounds if you resign before the contract is over, they even threaten to hurt my family." Ali with a face so sorry.

"They're outrageous, it's already a crime!" Romero said.

"Then what about drugs? The doctor found narcotics in your blood even if it wasn't much." Ask Galih.

"That's... Since there was no other choice I had to work there and forbid Erisha to trade in the city for a while. After a week, the boss there told me to go through his subordinates to deliver a package, it turned out to be drugs. Then the second time they told me to do the same thing but I didn't want to, I was afraid I'd get caught by the police. Then I said that I would stop and try to pay the fine, but they didn't accept it and started hitting me. They fix me up to Boss, where Boss tells his men to inject something into my body. Then Boss said that if I was really part of his group now, he was sure that after that I would not be able to get out of his group without his permission. And what surprised me was that they had taken my sister Erisha as a hostage. Finally I was forced to obey again, but after I finished doing what they told Erisha not to return. He said Erisha will be useful someday. I was so angry, I had been lied to even after I whined, begging them not to return Erisha and beat me. An angry me stole a few packets of meth and swallowed them without their knowledge. I still did not despair and again begged to return my sister, but it was in vain they just beat me mercilessly until I did not realize I got here." That's the full story of Ali. Ali's face was so sad that her tears welled up in her eyes.

"Maybe by now they're aware that their candy is missing." Romero sarcasm. He who heard Ali's story became upset himself.

"Did all the members of the group have the same scorpion tattoo?" Ask Galih.

"Yes, it's true and fortunately they haven't had time to tattoo my arm because of the action against me at the time." Terang Ali's.

"And was the Boss you were referring to this person?" Ask Galih while showing Joshua's photo to Ali.

"Be, right! That guy is right!" Like seeing a ghost, Ali's lips quivered and answered stammering when he saw a photo of Joshua that Galih had shown him. It seems like Ali really had a pretty fair amount of trauma that scared her. Galih and Romero exchanged glances and nodded. They've made sure that the information they've received from the Commander is correct.

"Do you remember who received the illicit goods you sent?" Ask Galih.

"Of course, because that person is a person who is quite influential in the escape of the group from the eyes of the law." Reply Ali.

"Is that one of the police officers in the area? Is this guy?" Ask Galih while showing one more photo and Ali immediately justified it.

"Really! That's right that guy!" Ali replied with a nodding head.

"Thank you Ali, your information is very helpful. Then you rest again, hopefully get well soon." Romero said, ending the introductory session at the time.

"Ta, but what about my sister? Will he survive?" Ask Ali before Galih and Romero leave.

"You take it easy and just pray for the best for your sister's safety, we'll try to set her free." Romero tried to calm Ali, who was very worried about the safety of his sister.

"Thank you, of course I will pray for my sister and also you who help us. Thanks." Ali said sincerely with tears welling up in his eyes.

Galih and Romero nodded with a smile then left the room money followed by Lukman.

"Thank you, Doctor Lukman, for helping us. We hope the conversation is enough we'll know." Galih said while asking Lukman to keep what he heard earlier.

"Of course, it's my duty to keep the patient's secret." Lukman.

Galih and Romero said goodbye, but when they were about to leave a gurney with the patient on it came with two male nurses. Behind him was Fragrance who was walking in the same direction as the gurney that was being pushed earlier. Apparently he just finished surgery.

"Lho... You guys are here?" Tanya Fragrance.

"It... She said she misses you." Romero answered with a smirk of his pity.

"Nhd!" Sahut Galih with eyes that swerve towards Romero.

"Oh so that's it... Just ngaco doang?!" Said Fragrant while crossing with a murderous gaze towards Galih.

"Ah... Wrong again..." Gumam Galih.
