Half of the Heart belongs to Sahla

Chapter 45

Bima positioned herself lying as comfortably as possible on the sofa. 

"Astagfirullah, why did I forget to tell Sahla. He must be worried now." Sluggishly.

Then Bima took his cellphone which from morning he had never taken out of the bag. There were more than 20 missed calls and short messages from his wife.

"I'm sorry Deck, not to ignore you. It's just that there's no right time to tell you." Smashed again. Indeed all day Raina did not let Bima disappear from his sight. Until making Bima can not do anything but just accompany him.

Bima made a call to his wife. And before long, the phone was picked up.

"Assalamualaikum, Deck." Say hello to Bima in a quiet voice. She was afraid that her voice would wake Raina up. 

"Wa'alaikum salam. Why is her voice, sister ?" Sahla felt strange, Bima spoke in a whisper.

"It's okay. Just afraid to interrupt."

"If you're annoying, you don't have to call." 

"Don't ramble the Deck."

"Yes. What's up ?"

"I can't go home now."

"Yes know."

"Know ? Know where ?" Ask Bima wonder.

"So that guy came back here." Sahla. Then I told him about the incident this afternoon.

"Assynolajet. Excuse me."

Wa'alaikum greetings." Mrs Ratih answered the greetings while walking towards the front door.

"You again ?" Bu Ratih asked in surprise, then he looked around to find something. "Where are the five ?" 

"Sorry Mom, I'm not here to take Mr. Bima home." Edo.

"What are you here for ?" Ask Bu Ratih increasingly astonished. 

"I just want to tell you that Pak Bima can't go home in a few days. And…". 

"What ? Waita minute. Uh. please sit." Mrs Ratih cut off Edo's words, then went inside her house. Edo sat on the front porch. 

And before long, Mrs Ratih came out with Sahla.

"What's up, sir ?" Ask Sahla. Then sit down in the chair next to him.

"I'm here to tell you that Mr. Bima can't go home for a few days." Edo.

"Why ?"

"It's according to Sir's orders."

"Master ? Then it's his friend Bima, right ?" Ask Sahla in my heart.

"And this is from Master to Mother and Lady Bima." Edo took out a white envelope whose contents were quite thick. "please be accepted." Edo said as he placed the envelope on the table. Sahla and Ms. Ratih looked at each other and were silent.

"Wait a minute." Edo said again. Then stand up and walk towards his car. He opened the trunk of the car, and took out some items that seemed to be various basic items.

"Master gave it all away." Edo said after putting all the things he had brought. There are 2 sacks of rice size 10kg, cooking oil, sugar, and various other basic foods. Here are snacks and various types of fruits.

"What is all this ?" Ask Sahla.

"It's from the Master to the family of Pak Bima." Answer Edo.

"Attent." Then Sahla went into her room, she was about to contact Bima. However, Bima did not pick up the phone. I don't know what Bima is doing, so it is difficult to contact. Even from noon Sahla had tried to contact Bima, just asking for news, and Bima never lifted or returned the message.

Sahla came back disappointed.

"I'll excuse you. If you have any other need, please contact me." Pamit Edo, and handed him a piece of his business card.

"Wait a minute. Why did your master give you all this ?" Ask Sahla curious.

"Sorry Madam, I'm just saying what you told me."

"At least there must be a reason why your master gave this all away ?"

"The reason is clear, because Mr. Bima has helped Mr."

"If there are no more questions, I say goodbye. Excuse um. Assalamualaikum." Pamit Edo's.

"Wa'alaikum salutations." Replied Mrs Ratih and Sahla at the same time. Then he stared at Edo's departure with his car.

"How is this Mom ? Do we just have to take it for granted?" Ask Sahla. Sahla and Bu Ratih are still sitting on the front porch chair while looking at the items given by his friend Bima.

"We should ask Bima first. I'm afraid to accept it."

Sahla nodded. "Yes Ma'am, Sahla also thinks like that. But Bima has not been contacted. It seems so busy." Sahla.

"Yes, Mom."

Then the two worked together to lift the pot into the house.

"How's the envelope Ma'am ?" Ask Sahla after all the stuff goes into the house. "It seems like it's pretty much in it." Say Sahla while weighing the envelope.

"Mother was afraid to open it Neng."

"Sama Ma'am, Sahla was scared too. We'll just wait for Bima, ma'am."

"Yes Neng."

"Try the money count." Pinta Bima after Sahla finished telling her story.

"Is it okay to open ?"

"Yes. Just open it." 

"Wait a minute." Sahla immediately took the envelope in question in the closet. Then sit back on the bed. Sahla carefully opened and counted the contents. There are 100,000 denominations totaling 50 pieces.

"many too. There's 5 million Sis." Sahla.

"5 million ?" Ask Bima in disbelief.

"Yes. So how's Brother ?" Sahla asked confused.

"Try sending Edo Dek number. Then ask first."

"Attent." Sahla takes the business card that Edo gave her and shoots it with an HP camera. After that, he sent to Bima number.

"I sent you, brother."

"alright. Brother close first. I'll call again."

"All right."

Then Bima turned off his wife's phone call. And now he called the Edo number that his wife had just given him.

"City, Edo. It's Bima."

Edo was surprised that Bima contacted him. "Pak Bima ? How does he know my number ?" Ask in the heart. But he remembered the business card he gave to his wife Bima.

"Well, what's the need, sir ?" Ask Edo.

"I want to talk, I'll wait in Raina's room."

"Okay sir, say it right there."

It didn't take long to get to Raina's room. The sound of the key being opened sounded very clear. Then came the figure awaited by Bima. 

"We're talking outside." Bima Say.

Then they both went out of Raina's room.

"What's up, sir ?"

"I'm asking for Reno's number. I want to talk to him." Bima Say.

"Why did Pak Bima ask for Mr number ?"

"Of course to talk to him."

"You can call him using my phone."

"Why is your life so complicated. Is it hard to give her number ?"

"Sorry sir, I'm just running the request."

"Yet you hide behind those words." Bima ketus. "I'm sick of hearing it."

"I'm sorry Mr. Bima."

"Why did Reno give my wife money and groceries ?"

"To repay Pak Bima for helping him."

"Not to atone for the guilt of having kept me here ?" 

"Sorry Mr. Bima, I don't know of any such reason."

"Curtain! You really are his loyal right hand." Either Bima praised or even insinuated. Both are very different.

With annoyance Bima went back into the room. Then call back his wife.

"Hallo Deck. You just spent the money that Edo sent. I'll ask for more."
