Moon In Hugs

Chapter 303

Aditya welcomes Pandu family who arrived in Bandung tomorrow afternoon. Uncle Salim was there too. Pandu deliberately invited him back to Bandung because it will hold a thanksgiving event because all this is over.

Clarissa looked the happiest. He said, “Maybe after this nothing else happens to us! I'm tired of this!”

“I am also tired,” said Frita while glancing meaningfully at Aditya. What he meant was obviously tired from jealousy. Aditya misbehaved himself for his wife's words.

Of course Aditya did not explain about the figure of Setiawan Budi from the uncle's past. He just said this to Uncle Salim: “No one will hurt us, Uncle.”

Aditya felt no need to bring up the past affairs of the uncle. He also felt fine even though he now knew other facts about his childhood that were not told by Uncle Salim.

His uncle was left not knowing why they had to go to Holland and they all kept it a secret. But the ceremony also presents Grandpa Darma. It happened tomorrow night at Pandu's house.

Grandpa Darma came to be escorted by a relative in his car. The old man impatiently wanted to go down and see Uncle Salim.

“I should greet Salman in a more intimate way than when my grandson got married first!” he said while stepping excitedly with his iron rod.

Uncle Salim greeted Grandpa Darma as usual, not realizing that the old man was a person from his past.

But Grandpa Darma didn't waste his tempo. After all at that time everyone was busy, no one noticed the chatter of the two of them.

“Salman? I know you're Salman, right? Salim your real name. Salman the name you used when you were young!” reprimand Grandpa Darma while laughing cheerfully, showing off his toothless tooth.

Uncle Salim looked stunned, it was hard to say.

Then Grandpa Darma approached him, hugging his shoulder, “Ten easy. It's all been through. I realized who you were after we met at Frita's wedding. I remember everything.”

Uncle Salim muttered softly, “I don't understand why it could happen this way.”

“What's a coincidence anyway?” reply Grandpa Darma.

“We're besanan, Boss. We both lived in that dark time, then now we besananan.” Although the remark had a happy tone, Uncle Salim started to look a little regretful.

Grandpa Darma then fell silent, looked warmly at his old friend, and said, “Don't call me ‘bos’ again. We're not the same. We're different. Didn't you repent?”

“I, I .. just don't understand,” said Uncle Salim who is still in shock.

“Already, I am also a bit surprised why we can meet again in this way. But everything's improved. Look, they're both happy,” Grandpa Darma said as he pointed across the living room, where Aditya and Frita look in tune.

“Ya, indeed.”

Grandpa Darma and Uncle Salim also chatted at length, I don't know anything. What is clear is that they talk a lot about the past, which Uncle Salim called a dark time. Indeed they used to be classified as reliable fraudsters.

Aditya was going to the kitchen to pick up ice cubes from the refrigerator when the sound of the trash can behind suddenly rolled over. He thought it might be a wild cat. He also checked the backyard, and was surprised to find the figure of Brenda Sukma with a disheveled look.

“Sorry, I interrupted your show, son. But I don't know who else to ask for help to,” he said.

“Why?” ask Aditya.

Brenda Sukma did not answer. He even grumbled, as if scolding the young man in front of him that why did he suddenly move from the safe house? The house stands at the end of the alley opposite an old cemetery.

“Lho, I no longer need to hide there kok,” said Aditya. “What's up, Auntie?”

“Desi in danger! Shelly D is in danger! You should come help us, son! Marwan my stupid husband can't do anything!” said Brenda Sukma who now looks panicked.

The woman chatted with Aditya in a half-whispering voice, non-stop peering towards the kitchen, afraid that in case anyone caught her wet she was asking Aditya for help.

“But, why? Danger because of what? Describe slowly,” said Aditya who then tried to herd the body of Brenda Sukma vibrating to enter the kitchen and sit there.

Aditya says he will leave Frita for a while, but Brenda Sukma will not allow it. The woman said, “Just for a minute! You can help my son, then come back here! Your family will not realize it!”

Aditya feels strange at the request, but he agrees. Brenda looks desperate anyway. He just asked if Brenda knew where the kidnapper was holding his son.

“Know! That's why I immediately asked you to rush to help!” the answer.

They darted out of the place in a dilapidated sedan car owned by Brenda Sukma. It turns out that the place is not too far from the Pandu house. About fifteen minutes drive. They stopped in the front yard of an old warehouse just next to the highway.

“Yakin here the place?” tanya Aditya felt strange.

“Yes, here. Come on, quickly log in!” brenda said while pulling Aditya's hand as soon as the two of them got off the car.

Aditya according to. They sneaked into the shed through the side fence, which was hollow for nothing. The fence was made of zinc, and Aditya had to be careful not to scratch the zinc. He may have tetanus because of it.

After entering the warehouse area, Aditya heard the sound of screams restrained Shelly D. A scream that could not come out because his mouth was silenced by cloth or duct tape.

“Well, you heard, right?” whisper Brenda Sukma.

“Ya,” Aditya replied short. “How many kidnappers?”

“Two,” says the woman.

Then he walked into the darkness, and Aditya followed him.

At the end of the dark alley, they can now see Shelly D tied up with a half-naked body condition. Just wearing underwear. While in front of him were two figures of large tall men trying to take off their pants.

“Damn it! Good thing we came faster,” whispered Brenda.

Aditya without being told immediately jumped out and beat the two kidnappers. He easily defeated them. It turned out that their class was nothing more than market thugs.

Shelly D cried and thanked Aditya many times. Brenda said, “Tuh, didn't I say? You are great, Dit.”

Aditya is speechless and lets Brenda help her son to wear clothes again. Then the three of them got out of there.

Aditya asked in the car, “Why did Shelly get kidnapped? You guys know why?”

Brenda said it was Setiawan Budi.

“He is dead. His funeral ceremony is reportedly two days away,” Aditya replied not thinking a famous former assassin could escape catching the hottest news.

Brenda just stared hard at Aditya's eyes, “You're not aware, huh? Setiawan Budi is dead. I mean that's the former Setiawan Budi.”

“Who?” ask Aditya.

“Hestu! He's the one who kidnapped my son. I know it.”

“Kok can Aunt be so sure? Isn't Hestu just ‘anjing’ keeper Setiawan Budi?” ask Aditya again. Just feel astonished.

“I can confirm because he sent a threat letter. Hestu is now taking over the power of Setiawan Budi, as long as you know!” answer Brenda coldly. “And, need I warn you now. We are all in danger!”

“Hestu is just a little bit of a thorn that I have to flick,” said Aditya disparagingly.

“You don't know who he really is yet, son,” Brenda said as she relentlessly focused on the streets.

Aditya was silent. Is it possible that his family will fall back into danger?
