My Father is Not a Criminal

Chapter 3

Bu Bakir is ready to go to Jakarta, at this time he is saying goodbye to his only child.

"Yes mother, Ndhuk. You're fine here, if there's anything, let me know."

"Yes, Mom. I'm also careful in Jakarta there. If here will always do'ain Mother," said Nabila while sobbing.

"You learned well, so that later it can be accepted at Negri High School near Mbah Kung's house!"

"Yes, Mom, if you will always remember Mom's message," said Nabila, leaning her head against Mom's shoulder.

"Actually I'm heavy Nduk, leave you alone here, but how else. It's the only way we can do it."

Mother sighed, to just reduce the burden that made her chest tight.

"Yes, Mom, Nabila knows, Mom. Don't worry, when you're older, you can take care of yourself."

"If your father's behavior is not like this, surely our lives will not be jammed like gini."

"That's it, ma'am, no need to regret it either. Not necessarily, you are guilty. I hope this is all just misfortune."

"You do not keep your father, Nduk, Mother is his wife. I know more about how your father weighs you. Your father's behavior was like that. I don't know what demon made me want to be married to your father."

"Udah, Mother don't be angry. It's no use either, right? Soon I'll leave, if I get upset, I'm afraid there'll be nothing on the way."

"Yes, Nduk, please tell Lek Dika that you are ready!"

"Well, Mom, I'll wait a minute, if you want to go to Bulek Winda's house first!"

Nabila rushed to the house next door, the house of the couple Paklek Dika and Bulek Winda. They are the closest neighbors to the Nabila family. Nabila often asked them to help keep their children who are toddlers.

"There's a library, Bulek?"

"There's a bill, just went inside, maybe took the keys to the bike. Is your mother ready?"

"Already, Bulek, so If you come here, you want to tell Paklek if you are ready."

"Yes, you just wait here for a minute. Oh yes Bil, later as long as your mother is not around, you do not have to cook, eat here only. After all eat you the least, than you bother!"

"Yes, Bulek. Thanks to you, the Bulek family has been very good with the Bila family," said Nabila sincerely.

"It is our duty as the people of God to help each other Bil. If now Bulek and Paklek help your family, maybe someday, we need help from your family."

Dika looks out of the house while holding Little Tasya.

"Your mom's ready, Bil?" ask Dika.

"Already, Paklek, I'm ready."

"Tasya come with Mama first! Papa wants anterin Bude Bakir to the station, later we play again if Papa has come home."

"Yes, Pa. But later if Papa comes home from the station, buy Tasya martabak ya Pa!"

"Okay, honey, Papa's gonna buy it. Now Tasya same Mama first yes, don't be naughty!"

Tasya hugged her spoiled papa, kissed her cheek, then ran towards her mother.

"Yeah, Bil, we're going to your house!"

"When you go home first, Bulek, later after you leave when you come here again."

"Yes, Bill, say hello to your mother. Sorry Bulek can't come, Bulek there are patients who want to give birth."

"Yes, Bulek, when you say. I'll understand too, sorry for the trouble."

Winda works as a midwife who opens a practice in his home. When there are patients who give birth, usually Mother or When helping to nurture Tasya. Nabila immediately climbed into Dika's motorbike, and the two of them soon passed.

"Are you ready, Ms Yu?" ask Dika when he arrived at Pak Bakir's house.

"Udah, Brother. If yes, please watch and keep it as long as there is no Mbak."

"Yes gapapa if it is like that, Mbak feels calmer if then. Because there are you guys who take care of it, Ma'am so not worried."

"Yes, Ms. Yu. Ma'am Yu is calm, we promise to keep Bila."

"Thank you, brother. Give thanks to your wife too!"

"Iya, Mbak. Ayo berangkat sekarang, takutnya nanti ketinggalan kereta."

"Mother go first, Nduk. Take good care of yourself. If there's anything you're talking to Bulek, same Paklek!"

"Yes, Mom. When you arrive, tell me Mom," said Bila while hugging Mom.

"Yes Nduk" said the mother, kissing her daughter.

Mother had left with Paklek Dika, Nabila who was not good at home alone, rushed to the house of Winda. After delivering Mom to the station, Paklek Dika visited Pak Bakir at the police station.

"How are you, Mas?"

"Yes you see for yourself, Dik, my situation can not be said to be fine," said Pak Bakir lethargic.

Dika just let out a long sigh, consciously had asked the wrong question to Pak Bakir.

"I just took Ms. Yu to the station, Mas."

"Mr Yu? His mother when does that mean?" ask Mr. Bakir.

"Yes, Mas, Ms. Yu will go to Jakarta. Is Ma'am Yu not saying goodbye to Mas?" ask Dika wonder.

"Your sister Yu hasn't seen me since I was arrested. What do you want to do with Mbak Yu to Jakarta Dik? What if you come too?"

"Mbak Yu works in Jakarta Mas. His cousin named Murni is said to open a best-selling warteg there. Well, Ma'am Yu wants the cooperation of his cousin. If if, for a while stay with us, wait to pass Junior High School, after that he wants to join his Mbah Kung," explained Dika.

Mr. Bakir was sad, his wife and son planned but did not tell him.

"Pole when yes, Brother. Kasian once the boy, life suffered because of the behavior of his father," said Pak Bakir sadly.

"Patiently yes, Mas, maybe Mbak Yu still can not accept Mas arrested. But I'm sure, Mas will soon be free because he is innocent," said Dika.

"Let's see, brother, I just don't know why I got arrested. The charges against me I really didn't. You believe me, brother?" ask Father.

"Yes, Mom, I believe. That's a good man, and it's impossible to kill people. Nepuk mosquito aja Mas not have the heart," said Dika.

"Can you ask for help, brother?" ask Mr. Bakir.

"What do you ask for, Mom?" ask Dika.

"Please get Nabila here, Sister! Mas miss very much the same Him," pinta Pak Bakir.

"Oh that's Mas. Tomorrow if I have time, I will definitely take you here. But at the moment I'm a bit busy, a lot of work is DL," said Dika.

"Yes, the rest of you, Dik, I understand how busy you are," said Pak Bakir.

"If so I say yes, Mas, Tasya's mother was a patient who wanted to give birth. I have to get ready there, maybe my help is needed," said Dika.

"Yes, brother, be careful on the road! Give my greetings and thanks to your wife" said Mr. Bakir.

"Yes, Mom, I'll tell you later. And I also promise, if not tomorrow the day after tomorrow, I will take Bila here," said Dika.

"Yes, sir, thank you for all your help" said Mr. Bakir.

"I'm saying yes."

"Yes, Brother."

After Dika died, Pak Bakir again felt guilty. Because he's his son and his wife became stuck. His wife had to work in Jakarta and his son was forced to hitchhike in a neighboring house.
