Imran and Bondan ask the owner of the stall a lot of things despite being urged to leave immediately by the old man. They both inquire about the shop owner's last meeting with his late adoptive father Arini. They also ask about the relationship between Arini's adoptive father and Tarjo and his friends. In addition they also get information about Arini's adoptive father and someone whose characteristics are very similar to Mang Dirin. After getting enough information from the shop owner, then they both decided to go home.
Unfortunately, the decision they made to go home was too late. At that time they saw a commotion at the terminal that was sourced from the rampage Tarjo and his friends against the terminal visitors who they thought were people who had mistreated their children. The commotion was heard to the stall they were visiting.
Hearing the commotion no doubt made the owner of the stall panic and pulled the two teenagers to leave the stall immediately. The man did not want the two teenagers in front of him to be mauled by the Tarjo mob. He had memorized exactly what the savagery of Tarjo and his friends. He who felt traumatized because he had made a small scratch accidentally on the temple Imran as a child, of course, could not bear if his friend's child experienced even worse things.
“Go ahead! Go!” The old man said with a slight snarl.
“I-iya, Sir!” Imran and Bondan say while carrying their bags out of the stall.
At that time the Tarjo gang was walking towards the shop owned by the Old Man because they had seen the direction of the movement of the two teenagers in CCTV footage located at the terminal monitoring post. Imran and Bondan negotiate first before they leave the stall.
“Im, what should we do now? Let's see now! Those people seem to be heading here. Soon they will search this place and find out where we are.”
“How about we split up, Ndan? You boarded Angkot directly and I went straight home via the train tracks?”
“You can see for yourself, Im! At the moment no Angkot at all is passing by. If I had to walk east, they would have seen me and chased me. It is no longer time to ride Angkot for me, Im!”
“Then you go with me I just walk north and escape through the railroad tracks. Later if it is in a safe place then you can ride Angkot. How?”
“Iya. It's safer like, Im.”
“Then let's go north through this little alley before they see us!”
“Come!”
Imran and Bondan hurriedly walked through a small alley to the north. In the small alley there are so many people who sell food on the left and right of the road. As the two teenagers walked towards the north, everyone in the place noticed them making the two teenagers feel uncomfortable. They were afraid that one of the men would side with Tarjo and his comrades.
“Come, Im! I suspect these people. The way they stare at us like it doesn't taste good so.”
“Iya, Ndan. Come on, we're kind of running let's get to the railroads!”
The two of them began to speed up their steps to get to the railroad tracks. The railroad tracks are positioned parallel to the highway. It was only blocked by the houses between the two.
Meanwhile, the Tarjo gang has arrived at the Old Pak stall. Tarjo and his friends were intimidating the old man.
“Hai, Sir! Where are those two schoolboys?” snapped Tarjo.
“Which schoolgirl, Jo?” Old man pretends not to know.
“Ti-no, Tarjo! I didn't hide the two kids. They were here, but only for a moment they went up Angkot.” The old man replied with a stammer.
“You said? What are these two cups of tea? You tried to lie to us, huh?” shouted Darno while pointing towards the two empty glasses of Imran and Bondan warm tea.
“A-anu, earlier when they ordered a drink happened to have tea. So, I just pour.” Old Man is still trying to make an alibi.
“Terus, this bowl and washcloth for what? You don't mess with us, huh?” karyo shouted while turning the table belonging to Old Man.
“Ampuuuun, Tarjo! I feel sorry for those two kids. You guys are all big. I'm afraid you're gonna kill those two kids.” Old Man whines for mercy to Tarjo.
“You have no pity on our children who were beaten up by the two of them? Yes, we will chop them both up if we meet. So, please tell us where the two of them went?” tarjo shouted while pounding the storefront owned by Old Man.
“Ta-tadi them na-“ Old Man said stammeringly.
“Tarjoooooooooo!” Suddenly we heard screaming from the north.
Tarjo's men went straight outside the shop and looked for the source of the sound. While Tarjo remained inside the stall to wait for further information. The Old Man was increasingly worried about the fate that would befall his son Ningrum and his friend. The old man cried because he could not bear to imagine the little boy he often had to die because he would be beaten by Tarjo and his friends.
After a few seconds inside the stall, Tarjo's men shouted loudly at Tarjo.
“Kang Tarjo, the two children are on the railway!”
When he heard the screams of his men, Tarjo immediately rose his emotions and prepared to run to chase the two children. The old man who heard that the existence of Imran and Bondan was already known by Tarjo and his men immediately gathered together and held the right leg of the head of the thug.
“Do not, Tarjo! Nay! Please don't torture those kids! Yepyyyahoo! Poor them Tarjo!” The old man cried and made his condolences to the head thug.
Brak!
“That's you Old Man! They both had to die because they dared to molest my son!” tarjo shouted while stomping his feet hard.
Of course, the Old Man's flattened body is not comparable to Tarjo's power which is still very prime. The thug's leg made Old Man's mouth bleed. After escaping from the embrace of Old Man, Tarjo cynically immediately left the blood-soaked Old Man in his own stall. What was on the head of the thugs mind was to beat up and finish off the two teenagers who had hurt his son.
