He's Not Mine

71. He's Very Wild

Hendrik POV

“Ndan, thank you! My wife said she was given fishing at home!” I said. 

“I'm not a commander anymore, call aja!” reply Imam.

“Fiona is also very cool with cooking utensils stove,” I said.

“Lita who milihin, Fiona's mother's bag is also Lita who chose,” said Imam with a smile.

“Thank you yes! My wife is very fond of being given a bag,” I pat the Priest's shoulder.

“Iya, equally,” answered.

“Mother's father has arrived?” I asked the Imam. 

“Already from last night, but all day I stay, many are bullied,” Imam rubbed his face

“Must find time together Lita, right?” ledek.

“So buy this that, yes with Lita. Who else would you like to talk to if it wasn't him.”

“Nangis not him?” kepo many.

“Surely, but he's strong. His mentality was educated by the military from his father. Oh yes, thank you for those photos. Well arranged in a photo frame. Your photo is very geeky during education,” Imam back to melekku.

“I just mengumpulin photos that nyusun his wife Suryo. Now we all have that photo. Only those who have I have not been given frame.”

“Oh, so you all have the same photo.”

“Punya dong, for the memento of posterity.” I embrace the Priest from the side, the Imam embrace me back.

“Thank you yes, thank you for all.”

“Sama-sama.”

Before I left, we were approached by Ahyar, one of our members.

“Ndan, can ask for a moment,” Ahyar said to Imam. Seeing the look in Ahyar's eyes asking for privacy, I immediately withdrew from before them.

Just a few steps away from them I saw the Imam punching Ahyar many times, even after Ahyar fell on the ground, the Imam still slapped Ahyar's cheek .

“Sabar Ndan, this is open. Danger when seen by people!” I pulled the Imam from the body of Ahyar.

“Bring him to the pomal now, the law is as heavy as it is!” The priest shouted like a man of disobedience. I still don't know what's going on with the two of them, but it just seems normal.

“Ahyar, come with me to the room!” I said to Ahyar. “We pray first Ndan. Already adzan,”

I loosened my hand grip on the Imam's shirt. Unexpectedly, the Imam again kicked Ahyar who just woke up from sitting down.

“Ampun Ndan, geez!” Ahyar knelt down cupping his hands together. I was still wondering why the Imam I knew was always patient and suddenly stirred up like this. 

The voice of the Adhan roared, the Imam lowered his head in the car and hit the hood several times.

“We finish after prayer,” I pull the Imam into the building. “My credit!” I ordered Ahyar.

Imam went to prayer to mushola, I immediately interrogated Ahyar. “Said are you the same commander? How come he's so mad?”

“I took doctor Utami away from her house that night!” said Ahyar while holding his cheek that had been targeted by the Imam.

“Then you! Dare to harass the commander's girl. You don't want the commander ordered to be the doctor alternately? That's proof that the commander is very protective with the doctor. If you kidnap her, then you dare to fight a platoon.”

“Never Ndan, I had to. I didn't know that the man I kidnapped was the commander's girlfriend. I used to not care for that doctor. Inaq I died, I have no choice but to accept an offer from Ms. Sarah for the cost of returning home when thisaq I died.”

I shook my head, then called Dimas and Erwin to come to the office because it was a very precarious matter. Before long the two came and interrogated Ahyar, all shocked by the courage of Ahyar to do this very desperate thing.

“Where is it now?” ask Erwin.

“Tadi still pray in mushola,” I replied.

“Try calling let him be calmer by hearing an explanation from Ahyar,” Erwin told me.

I called the Imam who was praying to the room to hear the explanation from Ahyar.

With a faltering voice Ahyar explained the chronology of the incident, when Ahyar said that he left Utami in the terminal, Imam came back to Ahyar and punched him in the face several times.

Me, Dimas and Erwin separated them. The energy of the Imam was so great that Dimas and I were overwhelmed by it. Erwin kept Ahyar out of the Imam's reach.

The Imam was so unexpected, he had never been like this before. I was forced to contact Suryo and Frans, hoping that they would calm the Imam and reveal this more clearly. 

Ahyar explained, "Saturday night I went into Sarah's house by damaging the lock of the fence and the window of Utami's doctor's room. All of that I had learned two days before the action that night. Doctor Utami, who ruffled his own room, carried jewelry and important letters that I knew nothing about. Then we went to Ngawi in the car that Sarah had prepared. In Ngawi we had breakfast and slept at the hotel."

"Crazy for you, sleeping in the same hotel as Utami?" The priest cut Ahyar's explanation and pulled his collar and strangled him.

Dimas and Erwin are trying to break up.

"Priest, stop. If he dies, we can't get Utami's information!" suryo shouted in time.

"He was outrageous, he ..," The priest took his hand from Ahyar's neck and faced the wall. Without difficulty Suryo managed to keep the Imam away from Ahyar, as I expected. 

Suryo again interrogates Ahyar assisted in checking their travel manifest by Frans. 

I saw the light and vibration from the Imam's pocket, maybe his family called because since morning Imam had not come home, but his father and mother had come to Surabaya from yesterday.

"I think it's enough tonight, let the commander go home and rest with the family," I cut off Suryo and Ahyar's conversation.

"So, I want to hear his explanation tonight" cried the Imam.

"Ndrik, bring the Imam home. Put on my car, if the Imam's family wants a cruise tonight, you drive around!" Dimas threw the car keys at me.

"Ready!" I caught the key Dimas threw.

Erwin tried to persuade the Imam to leave the room, I hope that with the arrival of Suryo and Frans, this matter is easier to uncover. But the Imam was still reluctant to leave this room, even continued to ask that Ahyar be led to Mako Pomal.

"You don't believe me?" suryo said with a chin up.

"I just want to know Utami's situation now!" The priest still remains on his will.

"Tomorrow, we'll make sure you get the full info. Now go!" said Dimas.

"It's not tomorrow, but after the Imam gets to Natuna" Suryo argued.

"Got long!" shouted Imam.

"Leave this place now, or we'll disband and there won't be a shred of information about Utami!" suryo Ancam.

Finally the Imam came out of the room with a sour face. “We use Dimas car only yes, I will take you wherever your father and mother want to go tonight. Anything to take from your car?”

The priest did not answer, he took some things from his car and took them to Dimas' car.

Arriving in front of the rented house of the Imam's parents, it turns out they were waiting on the terrace. Imam said hello and kissed the hands of both parents, “I take a shower first,” said Imam waltzed in.

“Pak, Mom, sorry last night at headquarters. There was a wet event earlier, this is my shirt is still not dry,” I explained to the Imam family.

“Wet-wet what is Mas?” ask the Imam's mother.

“Obsolute Mom, homage to old and new commanders,” I replied.

“So Mas is his successor Imam huh?” ask the Imam.

I nodded slowly, “oh yes, there is a plan out tonight?”

“He said Imam would eat in Tunjungan,” replied his brother Imam.

“Come then, I'll take you!” my door.

“Lho, mas Imam?” ask his other sister.

“Iya, Imam come too. I'm just a driver, maybe the Imam is tired. Today a lot of activities he did!” my answer. Before long the Imam came out with a fresher face.

“Come we leave!” I took them and opened all the car doors for the Imam's family. 

The priest got into the car and sat in the back seat. “In front who is this Mam?” ask the Imam. “Mr aja, I'm the same Ardi behind!” the priest answered from within.

“Please Sir!” I let his father Imam sit in the front seat. Throughout the journey the Imam's family chatted a lot while the Imam was just him, only occasionally answering if asked. Totally different from the Imam I know. So much was Imam's concern for Utami.
