Chapters 107. Somewhere Between The Night

Tama

Of the demands and piles of tasks that are almost endless, happy news and comfort come from home and its contents. Especially if it is not a charming wife who calms the heart, and cute and cute children who are cool to look at. Making fatigue and fatigue after facing the cruelty of the world was immediately treated by heavenly pleasures. There is nothing more to ask for because he has had everything that has been longed for, a wife and children who appease. Maybe God is kind enough to outline his fate to be grateful. After all the arrogance and bitterness in the past.

But it has become a law of nature if everything in the world is always side by side. Excitement – disappointment, happiness – grief, success – failure. The phone call was shocking when he was serving Armand's bigotry about the concept of pair equality to be the opening of a long journey.

“Tam, can you help the cave?”

The Australian-coded foreign telephone number delivered the voice of an anxious Prasbuana.

“Gua already contact Rajas. He'll handle everything. But the cave needs your help as collateral. The cave must go home and enter Indonesia legally.”

“What problem?”

He should ask sit down first. Despite having known Prasbuana well since a dozen years ago. Understand very well if the IT expert man is straight in living life. The lowest level of juvenile delinquency among the six of them. But Prasbuana's last words through a mobile phone connection are very suspicious.

And Armand mentioned it as deadly news, though he has not confirmed whether they are talking about the same thing or not. I don't know who the person who contacted Armand when he listened to the astounding explanation of the Prasbuana. Maybe Rajas or Wisak. The three young conglomerates were often connected early between the six of them. The three men who owned the golden spoon from birth seemed to have their own circle of friendship in their friendship. The elite circle that cannot be entered by him, Riyadh, also Prasbuana.

“Gua need time to contact people in the field, Pras.” He did have a silk road connection in the ranks of the stars. But he is not a superhero who can help others in an instant. He still has to sweat and move technically, especially when it comes to unusual cases such as those experienced by friends. “Lu can wait? Still got time?”

“Please, Tam. I’m begging you.” Prasbuana's last sentence before disconnecting, as if to be a sign if the problem is very strange and difficult to decompose. Even before moving to strategize, he had imagined what kind of complexity they had to pass if they wanted to bring Prasbuana home to Indonesia.

“Mas, JP investigation opened again.” This is the second surprise call from Erik's number. “At request family and closed from media.”

He massaged the temple that suddenly dizzy to hear Erik's speech had to go back and forth Medan-Surabaya after the peties case reopened. While he did not receive any orders regarding the re-investigation of the Jusuf Parawihardja case, he became the most responsible person in the case.

“And the key witness of the Parawihardja family who refused to open the case, reportedly disappeared per day.” Erik closed the information.

He exhaled violently until he made a loud noise like someone complaining. He almost mentioned the name of the arrogant, powerful man who had fought with him in front of the corpse-raising room some time ago, but was oblivious when his gaze collided with Armand's pair of mysterious eyes.

Once again he thought, if Armand was also receiving a call from someone about the same problem as he had just heard.

“Rik, we have to cooperate.” He smelled a lot of awkwardness. And the feeling began to open the way.

“Siap, Mas!”

Design

He looked at the phone screen that displayed a series of letters and numbers forming a booking code. The sounds of Umay and Sasa's quarrel did not disturb his daydream at all.

These few days, the kids in the classroom and the club are bustling over the plot twist Eyes of Darkness. Superhero movies are in theaters. He planned to watch it from a long time ago, but the person invited refused.

“Sori, I can't.” The thin-faced girl who that day wore a sly hairpin with her giving shook her head at the sign of rejection.

“I paid,” sahutnya fast but soon restored. “Not intik__”

“Not a problem money.” The girl returned to shake. “Savings of the results of the sale of cakes made by Nyokap lo in the market day are still intact. You can buy tickets with popcorn. I'm not that poor, Reka.”

“Yes, go on, why don't you want?” He demands answers. “I have no time other than Sunday tomorrow. Starting next weekend, the coach adds hours of exercise on holidays.”

“Iya, know.” The girl showed a dejected face as usual. “Popprov has deket. You must often exercise.”

He smiled happily. “So, Sunday .. can?”

The girl shook her head again. This time, though, glaring. “Lo knows it, anyway? We can't walk both ways. Kids don't know about us! I'm tired of being the kids' moons because of Elo! Time doesn't understand either, anyway?”

“They won't know. I guarantee kit__”

“Difficult huh, same elo talk? Big rock!” The girl nodded. “Mending you invite Tanvi or Driti tuh, they both ngarepin invited to watch lo.”

“MAS RECAA!”

He was stunned to hear his name being shouted by Sasa. There was a heavy object that suddenly hit his back.

“Bang Umay naughty, hide toys Sasa!” screeched Sasa as he stroked his back. “House toys purchased by Mas Rekau tuh!”

“May!” There was a heavy sound of Icad turning their backs to the study table. The boy every day his job is just reading and reading, it's boring. “Balikin toys Sasa.”

Umay's giggling about climbing up the closet didn't follow Icad's orders. Instead, hide Sasa's toy in the closet by pushing it deeply.

He kept the phone on the bed and walked to the closet to pick up Sasa's toys without looking at Umay's prankster.

“Yeah, Mas Raya! Don't take! Nay! YEAH!” Umay protested and tried to retake the toy, but he gave it to Sasa first.

“Yeyeye! Lalalala!” Sasa threw his tongue towards Umay who was nagging. “Still, Mas Reka.”

He did not serve the fanfare of Sasa and again grabbed the phone and fell asleep on the bed. View the booking code of two tickets that have been purchased and the back of Icad alternately.

“Cad, have you seen Eyes of Darkness?” ask him in passing.

While in the distance, the laughter of Sasa and Umay began to sound blaring. His two sisters, briefly quarreled, briefly improved. Fighting really for a while, so pampered every time I find Sasa screaming because of Umay's ignorance. Can fighting continue? Challenge the father who immediately made Sasa and Umay shrink.

“But.”

“You watch?” bargained for.

Honey, if the ticket that has been purchased is not used to watch. My only hope is with Icad. Besides, he couldn't possibly have brought the prankster Umay. In addition to being noisy and sometimes embarrassing while in public, Eyes of Darkness is reserved for audiences aged 13 years and over. Umay is not 13 years old. Dad always asserted, the four of them are free to watch any movie of origin according to the designation.

“Males.”

He took a deep breath. “I have two tickets for Sunday. About ... temen you no need? I want to take off half the price.”

The originally indifferent Icad began to look over. “Where?”

He called the name of his favorite Mall. Located quite far from home indeed. But who wants to refuse the sustenance of a weekend ticket at half the price?

“That's the Mall of the rich,” Icad replied back turning his back shoulders. “Boni equals Kioda will plonga plongo there.”

He clicked. “There is a Mall labeled a certain group. Public place freely accessible to everyone without exception.”

Icad then called the name of the Mall which was not far from their home. “If the cinema in the Mall, I help bargain to the management. Must be a lot of that gercep.”

“Mubazir dong, tiketku.” He grumbles.

“MAS RECAA!” sasa's loud screams were again heard entering their room. This time the girl almost hit him on the bed. “Bang Umay naughty again!”

“Sasa not exciting, ah!” Umay with a loud voice followed into the room. “Senengnya ngadu mas Reka. Dad!”

“Do not make Sasa scream, May!” Icad's reprimands that Umay doesn't heed. “Whispering, know!”

“Wild, weeeek!” Sasa who had climbed up on his bed loosened his long tongue. “Outside Bang Umay naughty, anyway. Let's get scolded the same mas Reka the same brother Icad!”

“Sini!” Umay waved at Sasa. “You want to play again? Now you will not be ignorant anymore. Come!”

He who paid no heed to the commotion of Sasa and Umay could only gawk when Sasa with a single leap made it past his body to descend to the floor.

“Buskey!” sungutnya but feel relieved because not to be stepped on by Sasa.

“Take mama aja,” murmured Icad almost inaudible.

He who is not sure his ears are functioning well just huh?

“Mama has never seen in the cinema, except the cinema of the malem market when I was still Kindergarten,” continued Icad still faithful to muttering.

“Where, how?” He got up from sleep and approached the study table. “Ngajak mom?”

Icad looked over while nodding. “If not wrong, om Tama also never ngajak mama watch bisokop, right?”

“Mama was also sad yesterday because Lombok Abang.” Icad looked at him solemnly. “If invited to watch and walk, maybe can make mama smile again.”

He accidentally learned some bad messages that went into social media Lombok Abang when he wanted to help Yuni tea upload the latest video. He was very angry and almost replied to the messages with insults. But Yuni tea forbids.

“I also want to reply furiously to them, Mas Reka.” Yuni Tea put on a sorry face. “But mother said, don't. Already, let it be.”

He then told the frustration about the irresponsible actions of people in Lombok Abang social media on Icad. And the answer given was the same as what mama said to Yuni tea.

“If mama says let, yes let.”

He frowned at the possibility of inviting mama like Icad's proposal. Mama wants to watch it or not, right?

Pocktail

“Mama wear this shirt is okay, Reka?” tanyanya while showing a blouse colored peach accented weaving ikat gift from Niar bu and skirt made from jeans souvenirs from Anjani from Bandung.

The design nodded after noticing his appearance.

Last night, he was shocked when Reka approached him in the kitchen after dinner. He was too worried and thought if Reka was involved in the problem of school again? Because Tama will not be able to help solve the problem because it is on external service for the next two days.

“Mama tomorrow will not watch the same Reka? If you do not want, yes already,” said the tall ABG was in a hurry.

He was just so lost he did not expect to get such a question. “Non ton?”

A lifetime, can be counted with the finger of one hand, the moment he watched a movie in the cinema. And all of them with the late bang Is.

(He was suddenly nervous every time he remembered the figure of the deceased. The chants of prayer are always spoken non-stop, wishing the deceased calm there. Brother, rest in the best place with God.)

So, when Reka made an offer, she thoughtlessly agreed.

“Wah, his father lost set nih same snotan son,” seloroh Tama through phone connection when he asked permission to go watch with Reka. “If for a sat set like this, my blood flows derassss in his veins.”

He returned nervous when the taxi stopped at the Mall lobby he had visited with Tama. He almost opened a conversation with Reka, to unravel the anxiety that often arises every visit to elite places. But the outstretched arm that offered a pedestal, slowly began to calm him down. They then walked along the floor of the Mall to the cinema with his hands holding the arms of Reka.

“I have bought via online,” replied the boy ahead of teenagers who this afternoon look so handsome in a white T-shirt combined shirt box, when he asked why they did not queue to buy tickets.

“Living dredeem,” continued the handsome young man who shamelessly continued to hold his hand past a group of teenagers of his age in the cinema waiting room.

“Mas not shy hand held Mama?” tanyanya wants to know. “The other one came to the cinema same girlfriend, Mas instead the same mother-emak.”

“Now, why should I be ashamed?” But soon after, Reka glanced at him. “Indeed Designs can already have a girlfriend?”

He just laughed. “Oh, if it should follow the rules that the big boss broke.”

Thank goodness Reka no longer asked, instead offered a snack. “Mama want popcorn what flavor?”

“Which tasty one, Mas?” This is the most standard answer that can be given.

“All delicious.” Design laughs.

“The most Mas Design likes, what?” He insisted on asking the son's opinion.

The designer then ordered caramel flavored popcorn and cookies and cream the largest size. “What to drink, Ma?”

He smiles. “What matters is that there is no element of coffee. Mama can get dizzy if you drink coffee.”

In fact, lately he often feels dizzy even though he never drank coffee. I don't know, every morning before noon at the same time, suddenly dizzy attacked without knowing the cause. And he must immediately stop all activity and then curl up on the bed so that the dizziness immediately disappears.

Yuni had suspected his anxiety about Lombok Abang had a bad effect on health conditions. Until contacting cing Ella to call a masseuse kampung Koneng subscription to massage her. After the massage, he felt fresher. But the next day, the dizziness hit again.

“This is the third film from Darkness Universe,” the light of Reka as they have sat looking at the screen.

He smiled nodding and trying to enjoy scene after scene full of action shown. Helaan after helaan repeatedly heard from the audience who were amazed by the sophistication of the effect. Design Included. When he glanced to the side, his son was gawking at the screen.

He does not know what feelings from the beginning surround the heart and then spread to all directions. Like an honor, love, and confession of being a real parent, mixed together into one.

In the past, he immediately gave thanks when Reka came to his room and called with the name mama. Now, he must do the same, for the sweet treatment of the Design towards him feels very touching. It might even be an unforgettable moment.

Surabaya

Tama

Tonight, he was still in a hotel in Surabaya to solve the case of Jusuf, when his service phone vibrated.

Incoming Call

Mama

He did not ignore it, because the atmosphere in the room was heating up. Anger and swearing. But on the third call, he could no longer marginalize his mother. Because not usually the mother calls the official number, unless there is an important thing to say.

“Rik, by sek.” He patted his former subordinate's shoulder while showing his name on the phone screen. “Important.”

Erik seemed to regret his choice to get out of the arena of mental battle against Parawihardja's minions. But the man could not block his intention of receiving a call outside the room.

“Ya, Ma?”

“Tama,” Mama's voice sounded full of worry. “Where are you?”

“Out of town, Ma. What was? My mom is in good health, right?”

“Mama is healthy, thank God Mama is healthy.” The voice across sounded increasingly anxious. “Pocut ..”

“Why Pocut?” He almost shouted between shock and tension.

“Tadi afternoon Reka called Mama, she said again at Mall.” Mama mentioned the name of their family subscription Mall.

“Iya, continues? Pocut did say today want to watch the same Reka.” He could not guess the relationship Reka called with mama's anxiety about the wife.

“Iya, they went to watch together.” connect mama but with a more organized voice. “Kata Reka, Pocut suddenly shivered in the cold. Sama Reka escorted to the toilet, keep Pocut there vomiting. Until the film is over, the design is still waiting in front of the ladies' toilet. Pocut back and forth vomiting continues.”

“Iya, continue?” He raised his hand to give the code to Erik who was coming outside the room. “A minute, Rik!”

Erik waited in front of the room without being able to hide the look of anxiety. Their meeting with the envoy of Parawihardja this time was truly draining of energy and emotions.

“Keep Mama ask them to the nearest hospital.” Mom started to tell me well. “Mama followed by Cipto. Doctor recommendation ER should be treated.”

“Iya, Ma.” He again raised his hand towards Erik who was getting more agitated. “Thank you for the news, Ma. There is still unfinished business. Tomorrow we will go to Jakarta. Please tit Poc__”

“Tama?” Mama interrupted his words. “Pocut six weeks pregnant and bleeding. You if you can ..”

He could no longer hear my mother's words. His head was filled with frightening sounds that rang out, repeating like terror bringing bad memories.

Pregnant and bleeding.

Hemorrhaging.

Hemorrhaging.

“MAS?”

He heard Erik's scream.

“Awaited pack Aston inside.”
