My Father is Not a Criminal

Chapter 14

Sueb went home while carrying a bag containing an expensive robe ordered by his wife. A smile adorned Sueb's lips that were far from sexy, ever since he came out of his wife's subscription boutique. Whistling happily, Sueb looked for a motorcycle taxi that would take him to the house of in-laws.

A sluggish-looking motorcycle taxi driver offered his services. Sueb nodded in agreement. Right now they were speeding slowly through the deserted rice fields.

"What is the income of a motorcycle taxi driver a day, sir?" ask Sueb prank.

"It's not certain, Mom. Depends on how much."

"At most, how many, sir?"

"It can be 200 thousand anyway a day, but still have to cut deposits and gasoline. The net is 100 thousand if it can be that."

"If the most apes?"

"There are 70 thousand, it is the same as filial work, Mas. Just make a deposit and gasoline."

"Why should I deposit? Not the bike itself?"

"If you have your own motorbike, it does not hit, Mas. This is a motorbike."

"Why not buy your own car?"

"Questions you should know answer e. There's no money."

Sueb was stunned, he felt a strong reprimand from the speech of this motorcycle taxi driver. Could it be that all of his victims were deposit taxis like this? Regrets began to arise in Sueb's heart. Imagining himself who became a deposit taxi driver who knows begal, not to mention sometimes there are injured. Ahh, regret must have come too late.

"Well, Mas."

Sueb's daydream was cut off, when the motorcycle taxi driver stopped in front of his in-laws' house. He handed her a blue note to the taxi driver.

"There's little money, Mom? Twenty thousand fees, I have no change, there are no passengers."

"Take the change, sir!"

"It's really, Mas."

"Yes, Sir. Really."

"Well, thank you, Mom. May there be plenty of windfall."

"Yes, Sir. You're welcome."

Sueb stepped into her in-laws' house. The motorcycle taxi driver who got a windfall, left the place happily.

A girl seemed to be walking hastily towards Dika's closed workshop. But there is a door that is left slightly open, so that people know, in the workshop there are still people.

Geck...Geck..Tok

"Eh, come in. Ma'am. Now, it's done with the laptop."

"Well, that's good, Om. I was worried that the laptop was not finished. There's an important task in its DL tomorrow," said the girl.

"You know, Mother. I defend this, have not gone home, because wait for Mbak."

"Thank you very much, Om. How much is that?" ask the girl after trying her laptop.

"Make it, Ma'am, it's free."

"Are that Om?"

"Yes, because the Mbak is lucky, has become the 100th customer for this month."

When forced to make up excuses, he only felt kasian to the girl, because he had lost a lot of money in his workshop.

"Well, yes, Om. Thanks yeah. You can take it home, right, here's the laptop?"

"Oh yes, Ma'am. You can do it. If you want to serve again, here you go, Ma'am!" dika said with a smile.

"Sure, Om. Again thanks. Pamit first yes, Om."

"Yes, Mother. Equally, be careful on the road huh, Ma'am. Say the same driver, don't speed!"

"Wih, ngawur nih Si Om. That's my papa, Om, not the driver."

The girl laughed crisply, Dika can only scratch the head that does not itch because of wrong behavior.

Rio's face looked tangled, he was sitting on the porch of Nabila's grandfather's house. Nabila accompanied Rio with a confused face, from then on Rio just kept quiet, and to ask, Nabila there is no courage.

"Yes, why Sis?"

"Mom I told you to take you home, make an acquaintance with my father. You want?"

Nabila was speechless, there was a doubt to meet Rio's parents. When you know, Rio is not from a simple family like himself.

"Kok quiet?"

"Should it be now, brother? When it's not ready."

Nabila.

"Sister is not ready either. Because you know, your brother must be against our relationship. But...You are not ready to lose you. Big brother is so dear to you."

Nabila looked at Rio with a questionable face, hoping Rio explained his point, because to ask, Nabila had no courage.

"You know what, Bill? My dad has very high standards for my boyfriend. He still holds a colossal view of seedlings, bebet and weights."

Nabila quite understand, what is meant by Rio. Of course, papa Rio was very hopeful, his son has a girlfriend who is equal to his family. Not like Nabila. Being poor does not make Nabila ashamed, but being the son of an inmate, makes others have their own judgment on their families.

"When you understand, brother. And being able to accept everything, don't be a burden to Brother. Because it's about destiny, not our desires."

"What do you mean?"

"So don't want us to break up, do we?"

"If I wanted us to break up, I wouldn't know, Bil. Instead I want, our relationship continues, whatever the risk."

"Don't you know, if it can disappoint your parents?"

"I know, Bil. But I still don't want to, if we break up."

Nabila actually also do not want if they break up so soon. Rio's first love for Nabila, and Nabila is so unwilling, her first love runs aground in just a matter of weeks.

"So what should we do, brother?"

"Honestly, I'm still confused. I don't know what I'm supposed to do. My friend suggested that you lie when you answer my papa's question."

"What does that mean?"

"By making up the story, if your ort is doing business abroad. Right now, you live with your grandparents, right here."

"When you don't lie."

"Yes, I know it too. So we have to find another way."

The two went back to silence, each busy with his way of thinking.

"Nil....."

"Yes...?"

"We're back street, how?"

"I mean Brother?"

"Yes, we're going out secretly, only we both know. In front of the others, we said we broke up."

"If you don't mind anyway, because from the beginning also if you don't want anyone to know if we're dating."

"You're ashamed, have a boyfriend like me?"

Nabila laughed, according to him, Rio's speech just seemed funny.

"Are you laughing anyway?"

"Finally Brother is funny, where there is a shame Nabila became sister's boyfriend. There is, old brother who should be ashamed, has a boyfriend like Nabila."

"What's that?"

"We come from a very different family, brother. As the sky is like the earth. Brother comes from a very distinguished family, while Nabila, only the son of an inmate."

Rio was stunned to hear Bila's talk just now. The last words made Rio very shocked, Rio felt that his hearing was wrong.

"Did you say that? The son of an inmate?"

Nabila was surprised to hear Rio question. Nabila immediately clutched his mouth that was flabbergasted.
