Bakri looked at the officer and smiled. "It's just a hypothesis that I made myself" he said humbled.

"Where were you on the night of the incident?" ask investigator.

"I'm on campus, attending the evening lecture" replied Bakri who understood the investigator's suspicions.

"Thank you for the information you both gave" the officer said, greeting Bakri and Trias.

"Hows it? scared of? tense?" goda Ahmad was the official beside him just chuckling.

"Quite tense, Om." replied Trias. "How's Kenzie doing, Om?"

"I was scolded by Om Adnan for your ridiculous idea!" sembur Ahmad pretended fierce.

...********...

Adnan sat languidly on the porch seat.before long, appeared a man with the head of plontos carrying two cups of coffee and put it on the table.The man was none other than Endi Ali, his father Trias. he was wearing only a red singlet with a holster wrapped around it. A large prayer beads hung around his neck.It looked more like a thug than a meat merchant on the market.

Endi laughed softly. "Have it, don't think too much."

"Just keep thinking Bang" said Adnan. "Ja' tawa tan ma tita to wala'o dulota ti momikirangi lo thinkangi lo bionga."

(not knowing which one of our children has this crazy idea).

"It's definitely your son." seduced Endi while laughing while Adnan just clicked irritatedly. Endi then smiled and touched the man's shoulder and patted him several times.

"Indeed our children are wrong, but as parents, we should think more positively that our children survived nothing less" said Endi.

Adnan was silent. Endi continued, "The fruit fell not far from the tree.they looked like the two of us in our youth."

"Bang Endi reminds me of that time again?"

"If then I don't defend you in front of your late father, where am I here? do you know what my past is like?" said Endi.

Adnan was silent.his mind drifted back to youth.he met Endi accidentally in a street fight. At that time, he was attacked by another herd of thugs. Endi only armed with two blades of wamilo used for chopping meat.

(wamilo \= long cleaver )

Endi was overwhelmed and exhausted.at a critical time, Adnan appeared and drove the herd of thugs.Adnan's father was a police officer named Adun the Great Commissioner. Adnan asked his father to bend the herd of thugs, and it also dragged the name of Endi.

Endi again saved Adnan with a false alibi, that he and Endi were following an Islamic study that was held in a mosque, just at the time of the ambush.

Endi left his world and turned into a meat merchant.As for Adnan develop his entrepreneurial talent and build a large company.however, their friendship is always intertwined up to their descendants.

endi's call made Adnan aware of his daydream.The man took the cup and sipped the contents. Endi chuckles.

"Ago daydreaming huh?" ledek Endi's.

Adnan smiled flatly in response to the bald-headed man's question.

"Give them confidence.they will respect that belief.they are not children anymore that we snack.they can already kick us if they want to" said Endi.

"Is Bang angry with Triassic?" adnan Fishing line.

"Yes, of course." he laughed and looked at Adnan and showed a serious face. "Until when? until stroke? our own loss, you have to appreciate what he's doing and then guide him to be more focused."

"Like brother?" adnan Fishing line.

"This is the positive thing I got from the world of thugs.trust and respect!" said Endi with a smile.

long they were silent, suddenly Endi was lost. "Two days, Trias is getting married.You're coming?"

Adnan was surprised and looked at Endi. " Seriously Bang? why anyway? the kid's still in school."

Aisyah arrived home in the afternoon and she opened the gate and took a leisurely step down the porch. After opening the door, the girl crossed the room into her room.

the girl faintly heard the sound of sobbing.The girl searched for the origin of the sound that led her to the kitchen.There Mariana sat while leaning her arms on the side of the table. in front of him was a tall glass filled with ice water.

"Ma? why ma?" ask Aisyah while approaching slowly. "Why is Mama crying?"

Mariana turned her head and stopped her crying.she tried to smile even though what appeared was a flat smile. Aisha sat opposite Mariana.

"Mama had a fight with Papa?" ask Aisyah.

Mariana shook her head while looking down. Aisyah was getting curious.

"Did Kenzie make trouble?" ask Aisha carefully.

Mariana lifted her face. "Your sister just got beat up by Papa until she got bonyok."

"God willing! Ma! why?" peekik Aisha. "Where's Ken-ken now?"

"There's in his room. Mama forbade him to come out." replied Mariana. "Now Papa's out. somewhere else.Papa might get rid of his anger."

"I'll talk to Papa" said Aisyah as she got up and stepped closer to her mother and hugged her. Mariana returned the hug tightly.after which Aisyah approached Kenzie's room and knocked him over.

"Just go in. it's not locked" replied Kenzie from the inside.

Aisyah opened the door and looked at the sleeping Kenzie in bed. Aisyah approached the bed and sat down in front of her. Kenzie momentarily looked at Aisyah then again busy opening the features in her phone.

"You're looking for trouble with Papa?" ask Aisyah slowly.

"I fought with Papa." replied Kenzie indifferently.

"That means you're looking for trouble" Aisyah said as she ruffled Kenzie's hair.

the young man fixed his hair and got up and sat cross-legged in bed.

"I am strong in my opinion. Papa did not accept and challenged me to a fight. Fortunately the fight was broken by Mama and I was banned from going out all day. Papa's gone now, somewhere, that's what made Mama cry." said Kenzie at length.

Aisyah nodded and then she looked at her sister again. "Have you apologized to Papa?"

"Wololo mo hile maapu. ilo na'o tan totonu tiyo." replied Kenzie with a cloudy face.

(how to apologize, he went somewhere)

Aisyah smiled, "Indeed if whenever Papa gets angry, she always leaves without saying goodbye?"

"Sister just found out? at least I heard Papa's voice saying goodbye to Mama earlier." replied Kenzie listlessly.

"If Papa comes home, apologize immediately." suggested Aisyah.

"If he comes home." replied Kenzie with ogah-ogahan.

Aisha touched the young man's knee. "Ken, you are a boy. All your actions have risks that you must account for. Apologies will not make your pride fall." Aisyah's advice.

Kenzie was silent for a moment then looked at the older brother. "Sir Ais sure Papa will forgive Kenzie?"

Aisyah smiled back then stroked her cheeks. "The father is big-hearted. God willing, he will forgive you."

the girl stood up and stepped to the door. Before leaving the room, Aisyah turned to look at her sister who was still sitting cross-legged in bed.

"After all, he's our Papa. Even though we're right in everything, we're both still children to them..." []
