He rushed into the living room as the conditions on the terrace began to heat up. One unit of troops full of storms cocked weapons began to impatiently want to force in. Though sespri and two officers who stood guard at the front door had explained if the Tama mas would come out soon. But they are not willing to wait even knowing if the living room has been filled with neighbors and relatives who want to pray together.
“Please invite Aran to play in the back, Tea,” his door was hasty on Cucun tea who was arranging dishes on a tray as a banquet. “Do not enter before I call.”
Cucun Tea looked at him in astonishment. But before the best baby sitter asked, he first handed over Aran and drove them both to hurry to the back room. There is a small garden with flowers and Japanese grass that feels soft and thick if stepped on. Aran can play cars until things no longer heat up.
“Aran play with Cucun tea first yes, baby,” the message while kissing the bushy-haired boy's crown. “Bring all cars to the back, Tea.”
“Good, Neng.” Cucun tea looks to swallow the curiosity raw. “Come, amis budi casep, we play behind, yes.”
Aran turned his head towards him and waved his hand before being taken away to the back room.
“What's up, Ja?” Om Lakshmana who just finished Maghrib prayers walked over while wearing glasses. “There's a fuss what?”
He nodded not knowing what to answer. “Nyari mas Tama, Om.”
Om Laksmana frowned while extending his neck trying to look towards the living room. “In front there is Nurdian same Heru, right? How can it be so noisy?”
He hurriedly nodded. “There, Om. But they got in. I call mas Tama first, Om,” he said hurriedly because it began to sound shouting at each other from the direction of the living room.
“What the fuck! How dare to make a storm at the house of Kombes!” He still heard the anger that emanated in the voice of om Laksmana when trying to ask Umay who was sitting in the corner of the room.
“May, see papa Tama?”
The one asked only shook with a blank look.
He exhaled a long breath while shuffling the boy's hair. “Company decgam main car-mobilan tuh, behind. Don't daydream, later enter the devil.”
Umay looked at him. “Sasa sama mas Reka go home when?”
He immediately grabbed the boy's head into his arms. He did not want to cry, he was too tired to shed tears. But his sight betrayed and began to condense. “Come, play the same deckgam in the back. Or want to snack on cake? Cake rolls made by bi Enok are no less delicious than made by mama, right?”
Umay. “I can go to the living room? Want to join Asta's sister doain.”
He again grabbed the boy's head into his arms. “By once, Umay dear. Can,” he said in a choked tone. “But later yes, now Aunt Anja ask for help Umay to make a dekgam nemenin behind. The show has not started yet either. Please ...."
Umay had a chance to look at him before nodding and then darting towards the back room.
Umay could not see the heavily armed officers forcing their way into the house. Do not let the broken heart back hurt.
“Where the hell, Brother?” sungutu while circulating the view around the middle space. “Then again this precarious situation likes to say, tuh people. Tell me to call mas Tama aja long time.”
He almost nagged Cakra who was standing in front of the door of the main room, but when his steps approached, he was stunned at the door without knowing how to behave.
There, in the pitch-black room that was only decorated with a beam of light from the living room, two heartwarming figures were strengthening each other, crying silently.
Mas Tama and Icad.

Tama
Over time, he increasingly realized that as talented and as potent as any ability of the self, there will always be parties who feel threatened. No matter how determined it is to maintain integrity, there will always be times when dealing with thorny situations. A time when no one can protect and give way except the Most Alive.
GB has not been tracked. Erik surrendered and was transferred. The whole team is broken. Soon he will soon follow. Just waiting for your turn.
“We can help.” Armand meets her on the second day Reka and Sasa are kidnapped. A few hours before his friend and son flew to a place where the law could not touch.
“Nobody needs help here.” The plot of the child abduction syndicate that brought Sasa and Reka from the school has been snuffed out. In a matter of hours, they would find a bright spot. His position with Reka and Sasa was getting closer.
That's what he expected.
Very expected.
“Do you think this is what the three of us did?” Armand looked up at the dark sky.
“Never crossed.” He is indeed handling a case that can indirectly drag the names of the three friends. But he knew for sure that the friends had prepared everything. High-level games are not much different from the determination of KH suspects as executors om Jusuf. There are many other KHs in the world who are willing to pledge honesty, freedom, and self-esteem just for the sake of money.
What can't be bought in this world? Try mentioning.
“We are indeed not good people.” Armand inhaled a deep breath of air as if asserting that every verse spoken was honesty. “But we abstain from betraying friends.”
“Gua believe,” sahut fast. Honor for a man is a trustworthy word. He believes, at any moment the lunge of the three friends in maintaining the golden spoon dynasty, the friendship of the six of them has its own place.
Although he could not confirm whether Armand, Rajas, Wisak thought the same as he seemed.
“We can help.” Armand repeated the same statement. “People of Rajas sud__”
“Gua can find the cave boys themselves, Mand!” quickly serge.
“Do you still not understand who you are dealing with?” Armand sounded desperate.
He also looked up at the dark sky without the glint of stars. “Everyone has problems. Don't break the limit.”
“Every gambler should have a strategy.” Armand let out a long breath until his voice sounded like a disapproving grunt. “Something the cave doesn't see here. You will perish if you risk everything. There is still a choice.”
He smiled emptyly. “It's a cave option. A broken good name can be fixed. But family destroyed ...” He shook. “Lu lost all, even yourself.”
The best principle he has ever taken that is self-affirming when time has come.
“Search as you want!” he said flatly when he met a unit of youth full of attributes cocked weapons in the living room. A sigh of relief sounded unpretentious behind his back. Om Laksmana again called for protests to mention his rank as well as papa's position in the past. But the time when no one can give way except to leave it to the Most Alive, must be faced with great honor.
“This is his search warrant, Mr.”
“Save it and don't mess up.” He's not ignoring. “Your commander's mother dislikes messy houses the least.”

It will be the longest and most frightening night ever.
“Sasa dengerin Mas.” He tried to calm Sasa down to stop crying. “Sasa can't cry.”
Instead of listening, Sasa screamed even more.
“Kan no Mas here.” He patted his chest trying to put on a smile as wide as possible, even though he was actually scared to death. “Then it's the same Mas still crybaby too?”
“Sasa ... fear ...”
He grabbed Sasa's shoulder making sure the sister listened to his commands carefully. “If Sasa cry, later om fierce angry. Later we can not go home.”
They were told to change clothes, hands tied forward, and threatened not to scream. Then the left toothless man and a short man led them out of the barn. The situation outside is silent. The only illumination comes from a dim bulb at the front of the warehouse that when noticed is like a secondhand stockpile.
He heard the sound of running water and the beast of the night was unpretentious. Stroll furiously through the muddy terrain, uphill roads, winding, swamps, in pitch-black conditions without the slightest illumination. Every few meters Sasa tripped or slipped. He tried to hold the hand of his sister so as not to fall slammed.
After passing through the foul-smelling riverbank, they arrived at the end of the alley that was no less dim. Not far from the alley there is an empty land with a number of parked cars. They were then pushed into a box car with four other children asleep.
Not long after, someone who slammed the door of the driver's section drove the vehicle in medium speed.
---------------
He woke up because of the sunlight that infiltrated through the vent in the front of the cabin blinding the eyes. The car felt still not moving. But the engine noise was so loud.
He then noticed a three-row vent and made sure the gap allowed them to see outside.
It woke Sasa up to mean to peek. Passing four boys of Umay's age who are still sleeping. With tiptoes, he tried to observe the circumstances outside and immediately gasped to see the reality seen in the distance was the ocean.
“Sasa haus ...”
He who could not believe if the car was in the hull of a ship rushed to Sasa who began to whine.
“Sasa hungry ...”
----------------------
The ship's horn that sounded deafening managed to stop Sasa's whining. When the surroundings began to fill with the sound of vehicle engines, the back door of the box was opened from the outside.
A grim-faced middle-aged woman climbed into the cabin carrying a bag of black crackles.
“Eat!” the order of the woman who wore a dull brown wool suit was after opening her hands. “Nih, water!”
“Thank you,” he said quickly grabbing a bottle of mineral water and a packet of bread.
He began to open a bottle of mineral water to give to Sasa when the woman in a dull brown wool tried to wake up four boys who were still asleep.
“Damn it!” The woman said the name of the animal. Then scream banged on the side of the front cabin that borders the driver.
“What's up?” shouted the short-bodied man who opened the car box. From the opening of the door he could see a number of buses and trucks waiting in line to get out of the ship.
“Some one is sick! Body's hot!”
“Leave it!” exclaimed the thick-bodied man full of anger. “Tak will die!” Then close the door violently and snatch it from the outside.
The grim-faced middle-aged woman then held onto the red-shirted boy who looked limp and a little sick. Then try to drink water until the boy chokes.
“Eat!” snapped the middle-aged woman while cramming a piece of cake. “Don't die! Just bother!”
From the movement of the car, he guessed if they had exited the Port area. Honey, he didn't get to peek at the name of the harbor. He could only hope that father would soon discover their whereabouts.
But throughout the journey found only silence, in addition to the roar of the car engine. The cabin was very moody, Sasa who returned to sleep, his hands were back tied, the boy Umay age was wearing a red shirt whose face began to sweat and looked weaker, the middle-aged woman in brown wool who was constantly nagging, did not feel like her eyes were wet.
He was, no matter where he was, and felt so scared.
--------------------
The six of them were fed rice during the day and got a bonus piece of bread if the kidnappers were generous. The red shirt boy no longer sweats, but still looks limp and often coughed. The other three boys never made a sound. Just sitting still and daydreaming with a blank look even though the woman in dull wool always snapped at all times.
They can only take a shower when the car stops to change another car. Usually the kidnappers rest overnight at the home of someone who is most likely a plotter. Then the next day, there are one or two new children who join them.
The gloomy-faced woman no longer accompanied in the cabin. The driver had also changed, not the left toothless man. But their clothes were still the same as the first day. He and Sasa to itch all over the body, especially the hands and feet until every scratched will bleed so much.
Actually, when the car rested in the district of Ogan Komering Hulu, he planned to escape. He has calculated everything possible since coming out of the Port across the Sumatra line. But the newly joined foreign man watching them since stopping at Way Kanan managed to subdue him as well Sasa.
He was beaten until his ears were ringing and vomiting. They threatened to throw him into the abyss if he escaped again. Sasa who saw her was beaten screamed furiously. But he felt relieved, because it proved Sasa still has a reserve of tears even though every day scattered to cry.
Now, the twelve are riding in a dull gray old travel car whose engine is too roaring. When trying to peek out the window, the luminescence of street lights helped him to read the name of Tanjung Balai District.
The old travel car moved slowly like a conch through the darkness of the night towards the dock. He hopes they are intercepted by plainclothes police as they are often shown at Umay's favorite shows. But until they boarded a boat filled with vegetables, bananas, yams, and a number of adult men armed with backpacks, his hope was never fulfilled.

Pocktail
His fifth son was born without a sound of crying. Although Tama and the doctor spoke very slowly, he was still able to hear the saddest and most heartbreaking conversation.
“Already died in the womb ...”
“Meconium poisoning ...”
“Legs wrapped around the umbilical cord ..”
Shortly thereafter, Tama brought a tiny baby closer to her cheek. A baby that is like a baby. His skin is clean and reddish in color is not webbed at all, his face is handsome like a few months old outside the womb, and his smile is very beautiful as if to show a face full of happiness to both parents. As if to give the best memories for himself and Tama.
He can't even cry. Even Tama, although the man's arm looks trembling while holding their baby, but there are no tears accompanying. Tama even asked the doctor to take a picture of the three of them while whispering softly in her ear,
“Name Astakala Yuda ..”
He wanted to take his fifth son to the bed of eternity. But his condition is not stable. Tama tried to convince him to stay in the hospital and promised to deliver Asta to the lap of the Real Owner with great care.
The third day after delivery, Tama moved her to the hotel. He asks to go home, but Tama is unmoved. She begged to sleep in Sasa's room, but the husband wouldn't allow it.
“Home is still not conducive, Ma. Later if things start to improve, my dear wife will definitely go home.”
He was accompanied by Mamak and Niar's mother. Icad with Umay followed and then delivered Agam. Umay who is usually cheerful, once entering the room immediately ran to hit him and then cried so badly. Icad was still like before, calm did not say much, but hugged him tightly as if reluctant to escape.
An unexpected turn of events slips a pinch of relief in all his fear, when he overhears Icad receiving a call from Tama and answers with a name,
“Iya, Pa. My mom is healthy and well. You don't have to worry.”
But at night, the relief turned out to be temporary. For his great hope of God's help for the salvation of Reka and Sasa was again struck by a trembling fear. Umay, who was watching television, was unaware of his presence. And he fell back into the abyss full of fear.
“Kombes Wiratama Yuda proven to accept bribes in corruption case of purchase of tin seeds PT Rejasa Tbk ..”
“The flow of funds received by Kombes Wiratama Yuda comes from the conglomerate YG, one of the corporate directors of the conglomerate network PARA Group ..”
“Mabes Police has given an official statement about the removal of Kombes Wiratama Yuda as Dirreskrimum Polda Metro ..”
