Aditya, Rinda, and Teacher Without a Name had already stepped away from the luxurious building shortly afterwards. They let go of the mercenary girl who had gone with Rinda after making sure she would not return to Nino.
“Oath! I will not be back!” said scared.
“Good. You know later he will kill you,” said Rinda casually.
The girl passed away with a body trembling in fear.
“What should we do?” aditya asked after they got into Frita's car that Aditya had borrowed to go here. No one saw them, so Aditya immediately rushed into the gas.
“Hestu clearly raised the flag of hostility. Inevitably you have to fight, Son,” said Teacher Without a Name this time looks resigned.
“Luckily I got some information about them. Hestu was assisted by two Japanese. They were his adopted brothers while still abroad first,” said Rinda.
“How can you quickly know? Though just plunged a day?” ask Aditya.
“Nino says too much,” says the girl.
They stopped in front of a hotel. Aditya dropped Rahman and Rinda there. The teacher told him before Aditya withdrew.
“Hestu is different from its master. Setiawan Budi may have targeted the Frita family. But I don't think so with Hestu. You don't worry too much.” he said.
“Yes, I will serve whatever they want as long as it does not make Frita or others in danger,” Aditya said.
He passed by, driving his car half-speed. Aditya unknowingly is now being stalked by a red sedan. A great car he had never seen before.
“Who else is this?” gerutu Aditya is upset.
He immediately stepped on the brake pedal, pulled over his car, and approached the red sedan which also stopped suddenly behind him.
“Who are you?” aditya asked as he headed near the front door of the sedan.
Ratna peeked inside. He looks much more cheerful than usual. Of course Aditya can't believe he's seeing this woman again now.
“Hah, you turned out. What else, Ratna? You mad? Or what?” ask Aditya, don't know what else to say.
“Neg. I just saw you coming to Setiawan Budi's funeral, huh?” sahut Ratna also got out of his car. They walked to the edge, looking for a shady spot on the side of the deserted road.
“Yes. They invited me. Setiawan Budi's.”
“And they almost killed you, right?” ask Ratna.
“Where did you know?”
Ratna chuckled amusedly. “Nino Darsono used to work with my grandfather. But not for long. He's a cunning young man. I don't like him.”
Aditya seemed interested and continued to listen.
Ratna continued, “Nino is too much nonsense. Some of my friends still hang out with him at the distotik. And he said Hestu's plan was for you, Dit.”
“Job. Looks like Nino the guy who looks cute is, huh?”
“Ya, who looks like a Korean actor,” says Ratna ogah-ogahan. “But you must be careful with Nino's men. They are wild and sometimes brainless. They could have hurt the Frita family.”
Aditya just shut up.
“I came to help you, Dit,” Ratna said after they had been quiet for a while.
At that time Aditya's phone rang. From Frita. He asked if Aditya was okay.
“How many hours have you been there, Mas?” ask Frita worriedly. “There's something?”
Aditya decided to cover up the events in the narrow room earlier when he almost died at the hands of HEstu.
“Oh, no. This just ate with my teacher. Now on the way home,” he said.
“I don't want anything,” replied Ratna calmly. “Just want to help you. This time as a friend.”
Aditya still feels bad for the wedding ceremony the other day. So he no longer knew what to say. As friends? He obviously didn't mind being Ratna's best friend. However, was that really what Ratna wanted?
Ratna said, “Listen, Dit. I honestly still love you. I can't lie to myself. But I also realized you wouldn't turn your back on Frita. I respect that. Sorry for the incident that night.”
Aditya nodded. He clearly could not forget the incident when he was given special medicine while sleeping in one room with Ratna, until they both had sex without him knowing.
“What you can do, just do it. What is clear is that all your help during this time is greatly appreciated, Ratna. I don't know what to reply with,” Aditya said.
Ratna only gave a short snort. It looks cheerful and much prettier than usual. He says he will deploy all his friends and companions, to at least prevent Nino and his men from doing anything beyond the limits.
“And you don't have to repay me, Dit. All this I did sincerely,” closed Ratna, then turned to her car and passed away.
Aditya looked at the red sedan away before he continued on his way home.
***
Clarissa secretly met Aditya in the kitchen that afternoon. He comes along with a friend who used to be stuck in the Vanessa and Reza racecourse. They just got back from watching in the cinema.
“There's something I want to talk about, Brother,” Clarissa said.
“What?”
“Soal Rako,” replied Clarissa while looking into the living room, afraid that her brother heard this orbolan.
Frita was busy chatting with Clarissa's friend in the living room. So he thought it was safe to talk to Aditya.
“Rako? She why?” aditya hatch.
Aditya almost forgot the figure of Rako Subandi. The only successor of Setiawan Budi who is now helpless and has no fangs. Now he is often seen alone on campus after his uncle, Setiawan Budi, is gone.
“He often tried to approach me, but I always stayed away. You know for yourself, brother. He's evil,” Clarissa said.
“Yes. Then what's the problem?”
“She wrote a letter yesterday. Maybe because I kept away. He slipped the letter in my bag. The contents are short and I think Adit must read it,” Clarissa explained as she pulled out a piece of paper from her wallet.
It really is a short letter. It is one line and consists of a few words. And very clearly the message was aimed at Aditya.
The contents of Rako's letter read: “Need Aditya's help. Hestu has a wicked plan.”
Aditya just satin, “What the hell is this?”
Clarissa also said that after the letter was tucked in her bag, Rako had told her that they should meet at a dance party in the suburbs, near The King's nightclub.
That time Clarissa said ferociously, “Mau loe what the hell?”
“It's important!” rako replied with fear. “It's about the lives of all of us!”
Aditya was just daydreaming of Clarissa's explanation.
“Where, Brother?” ask the girl. “Do we follow Rako?”
“When did he say?” ask Aditya.
“Tomorrow nights at 8.”
“OK, we'll be there tomorrow night. But don't let your sister know,” Aditya replied.
Clarissa nodded. They returned to the living room like nothing had ever happened in the kitchen.
