He's Not Mine

33. Irvan's Death

Irvan was moved to the ICU room, I stole a glance when I moved the room. But Suryo pulled my hand away. “Come away, Mam! It's a danger to us.”

“I just want to explain that we are not involved in anything, if we run away like this even looks like hand washing.”

“Udah let it go, I'm sure Colonel Teguh sided with us.”

“No, how?” I asked when parked, I was reluctant to get into the car before clearing the name of the location.

Suryo grabbed the car keys from my hand, “much aja, we santet, done business!” Suryo immediately started the car and immediately gasp.

Finished the morning apple, the base was horrendous with the sad news of the death of Colonel Teguh's son-in-law who was also Resti's husband. 

It is rumored that Irvan died in the middle of the night after more than five went into a coma. There was guilt at heart about Irvan's death, but it could not be expressed in words. The question is, how did Colonel Teguh behave to me? Is it true that Suryo said that Colonel Teguh would defend me? Then, revenge is not the same as me, lest she think that I am the cause of her husband's death. 

Very upset with Suryo who played a blur overnight, should be standby on location, re-explain the chronology of events in the extended family. If caught, it could ruin my reputation. Fulfilled Resti, Commander, hadeh! Find it because of Suryo!

"Yes!" Hendrik patted me on the shoulder, my reflexes turned.

"There is a chance to bury the actor, want to follow?" Hendrik.

"Elekor? Who?"

"That once seized the beloved, mumpung is lifeless, overwritten by a lot of land continues to be trampled, ha .. ha …."

"Don't just talk, don't deserve to be heard." I whispered a little, but Hendrik laughed even harder.

"Whether the Commander marries the widow, I'll be allowed to sing all night with the boys!"

"His husband has not been buried and has discussed marrying his wife. Not really you!"

"Honestly, Ndan! Must be the Commander is happy to get this news, right?" Hendrik cornered me. I just smiled, "want to say 'yes' fear of sin!"

We laughed together. Do not let anyone else know, what we discussed, can be demoted or even fired for violating the code of decency.

I ordered the men to be in the rear of the other troops, and the Commander did not order the whole group to hold a funeral ceremony.

At the funeral, I was just on standby in the parking lot, deliberately reluctant to approach. In the parking lot I met Mas Joko, aide to Colonel Teguh. Mas Joko holds the rank of serka sitting with me while chatting casually. 

“Kok is not busy in front of Mas?” I asked Mas Joko.

“Colonel Teguh only briefly in the front, many receive guests rather than busy at the funeral,” replied mas Joko.

“Why is that?” I was astonished.

“Everything that governs Mr. Sukoco's family, Colonel Teguh take it right, another time his grandson died yesterday, super busy.”

I nodded my head, “saknya yesterday severe huh?” I pretended not to know.

“You haven't been drunk? Though I heard the Colonel ordered Suryo to look with you!”

Waduh, Mas Joko knows how far.

“Try you look, who knows can bring peace to the household mbak Resti and her husband. But yes it's over, his age was only until last night. Although it is also so old.” 

“Indeed his household Resti why Mas? What does this have to do with me?” manya curious.

"I sometimes wonder also the same Irvan and mbak Resti, he likes to fuss constantly. If it's a storm, mbak Resti returned to the house crying or kayaking yesterday, Irvan who fled brought his son. Because of emotion, drive from the toll barrier, make the son wretch right!"

“So, before the fatal accident, they had a fight?” tanyaku carefully.

“Iya!” answer me, Joko.

“The commander who told me, he said before the accident mbak Resti called my mother cry-nangis asked mother to come to his house.

“They often quarrel like that?”

“Which I know already a few times. I watched his son, the little boy so often heard his parents quarrel.”

“Means the household is not harmonious huh?” i'm making sure.

“Irvan is jealous of you!” said Mas Joko who made me surprised.

“Kok can? I have never met Irvan or Resti! Don't just talk!” I was defending myself.

“That's right. You're not involved in anything but Irvan is jealous of you. Not to mention her mother-in-law mbak Resti, if by the way very spicy.”

“So rancu gini anyway? Continues, Colonel Teguh know not about all this?”

“Yes you know, so you were asked to look at Irvan when sick yesterday to explain that you and Msbak Resti are nothing. But you haven't looked at Irvan, she's hunting dead.”

I went awry. Yesterday Suryo did not tell me to explain anything, but I have not said anything, Irvan has also accused me of being non-existent. Indeed, the end came, I look or not, the time to die can not be pushed back too.

“Tuh, you see! Colonel Teguh just received a condolence guest, not long inside. Yes, I think the commander is willing to leave the place.” Mas Joko left me.

“Greetings to commander, Mas!” I patted Joko's shoulder.

I can't wait to find Suryo and tell him everything I've heard from Colonel Teguh's aide. 

"So Colonel Teguh has not had the same story mas Joko that we have visited Irvan last night," terka Suryo.

"Looks so! You're not saying that Colonel Teguh sent a message to reconcile Resti with Irvan!"

“Komandan did not say at all, It's not right mas Joko. Now he says that there are additional words. Later tonight try to come to the study of her husband Resti, if there is mas Joko, we ask together."

"His daughter died, I do not want to come, let alone the study of her husband. Later suspected ngarep widow Resti again. Maleslah!"

"We came there to find the right answer from Mas Joko!"

"Owh, I thought I'd expect to be with him!" lazy answer.

"That too, he said Resti's in-laws are twisted, you know, must be a lot of dishes!"

"Cop!" I kicked Suryo annoyed, he just giggled seeing me angry.

"Anyway, I'll pick you up tonight, with the others we'll go there! Don't take it!"

I left Suryo without caring.

That night, I was picked up by leting's friends. They encouraged me to come along. With a hyacinth of my heart, I finally went with them. Along the way they jokingly commented and insinuated me, but it did not arouse my sense of humor at all.

Arriving at the house Resti atmosphere began to be crowded, many civilians that we did not know. 

When going to enter the fence of the house Resti, we intercepted mas Joko, aide to Colonel Teguh. "Don't go inside!"

"Why?" ask Suryo.

"The situation inside is not conducive, I am on guard here ordered by the Commander to prohibit you from entering the house mbak Resti, if you want to be out here, please!"

"So you can't attend school?" sela Hendrik's.

"It's best not to!"

I looked inside the house, saw Resti holding a picture frame, occasionally he kissed and hugged the photo. Too bad, it must hurt to be left by loved ones.
