Sorry I Love You, Friend!

Sorry I Love You, Friend!
New Directions



"Tante," call Aska.


After appearing suddenly with a panicked face. Rani collapsed unconscious. Everyone in the house panicked and immediately ran Rani to the hospital. From the doctor's diagnosis, Rani was depressed due to prolonged stress. Rayyan's doctor advised Rani to be treated while in the hospital in order to monitor her psychological condition.


"Aska, sorry. Auntie doesn't believe in you. Aunty has yelled at you, "the tears are back on Rani's cheeks. "Aunty should believe, Bima is still alive."


Aska rubbed a trace of tears on Rani's cheek. Seeing the condition of Mother Bima at this time made Aska's heart sick. Bima is very fond of his mother, which is why even though Rani is busy with her work, Aska does not even see Bima complaining.


"Why did Aunt suddenly change her mind?"


Rani got up from a lying position. Assisted Aska he sat leaning his body on a pillow that stood upright.


"Auntie heard Bima's voice. She calls home, Aska," Rani takes a deep breath before returning to talk. "Although it's only a moment, Auntie is sure it's Bima's voice."


"Aunte sure?" Aska. He looked at Rani inside.


Rani nodded quickly.


...***...


"Aska, Mama and Papa go home first. Oh yeah, your cell phone. That was Mama nitipin." Aldi handed over the phone that Mama had left to her because Aska left her phone in the room. Aldi sat next to Aska, resting his body on the back of the sofa. Tonight he and Aska will accompany Aunt Rani in the hospital.


Aska nodded in understanding, she unlocked her phone screen to see a row of missed messages and calls. Dozens of incoming messages came from Ela and several clients. Everything is about work. Aska ignored him and turned to contact, scrutinizing every row of numbers there. There was one foreign number that caught his attention. Aska immediately dialed, waited a while and then heard a breaking tone from there, her call was rejected.


"Why?" aldi asked because he saw Aska frowning.


"There is a foreign number that calls up to three times. I tried calling back but it was rejected."


"Ntar also called again if it was urgent."


Aska was still silent. His brain worked hard to think. "Di, do you have Hervi's cell phone number?"


Forehead Aldi shriveling. Why did Aska suddenly mention Hervi's name? "Aska, you better not be close to Hervi before your troubles with Carly are over."


Aska sighed lazily. "I've told you Al, don't think too much about your complex brain. I had nothing to do with him, not even that day of our second meeting."


"Then? Why did you have the number?"


Aska tapped on her phone screen, revealing the phone number she was calling to Aldi.


"Tante Rani said, Bima called him. It might be the same number."


Aldi sat up straight. "Are you sure, Aska?" Rigorously.


All this time Aldi only tried to understand the condition of Aska as the effect of his great sense of loss to his best friend, but to believe what Aska believed, it was still difficult for Aldi. Especially at this time Aunt Rani began to show the same attitude. From Aldi's observation, both of them are still influenced by depressive states to cause hallucinations.


"Al, I know you must think I'm crazy. But-" Aska lowered her head, rubbing her face with both hands. "I'm sure Al, I'm sure Bima is still alive" he said between sobs.


Aldi was filled, so strong was the bond between Aska and Bima that made the woman fragile. Aldi pulled Aska into his arms. Waiting for a while, after being convinced there was no rejection Aldi patted the shoulder slowly, calming him down.


"You better take a break, Aska. Tomorrow we'll talk to Hervi again."


Aska nodded slowly, drowning her crying voice in her brother's chest.


...***...


Nirmala opened the door of the room where Rani slowly. As soon as the door opened the scene inside made his heart cry. Aldi sleeps with his body leaning to the sofa, next to him there is Aska who lies with Aldi's thigh as a pillow.


They both looked like brothers who loved each other. Whether since when the two began to be familiar, which is sure the presence of Aldi is very helpful. Nirmala is proud of her son who behaves like a brother who loves and protects her sister.


"Ma," called Aldi in a hoarse voice. He woke up when he heard the screams of the door slowly opening. "alone?"


Nirmala nodded and placed the food on the table. He approached Ask to tidy up the blanket on his body.


"Al, is your sister big? Time passed very quickly" said Nirmala half-whispering, gently rubbing the princess' hair.


"Well, other than her height, nothing seems to change Ma. He remains fierce" said Aldi.


"Hmm, Bima ..." Igau Aska in his sleep.


Nirmala looked at him sadly, she stroked dear Aska's head. "Let Mama changein Al, you go to the bathroom first."


Aldi agreed. Slowly he lifted Aska's head and held her back so that Mama could sit down to replace her position.


Unfortunately, the subtle movement disturbed Aska, she slowly opened her eyes and found Mama and Aldi staring at her. "Why?"


Aldi chuckles. "Because you have woken up, this transaction has been canceled" said Aldi who suddenly and deliberately released his hand from Aska's head.


"Akh, man,"


"Allen!" Nirmala rubbed Aska's head which fell against the cushion of the sofa. "Sick kid?"


Aska shook her head slowly and got up from her sleeping position. He twitched his head slightly dizzy from waking up unprepared.


"Aldi, you are so nosy," Nirmala scolded her son who was still putting on an ignorant smile. "Sana bebersih, later change with your sister."


Aldi clucked slowly. "Mama don't love Aldi," his god with his face made as ugly as possible. Before long he walked into the bathroom whistling merrily.


Aska saw Aldi's departure with a dumb-eyed face. He was not yet conscious enough to realize how ridiculous his half-brothers were.


...***...


"Big boss, Vodka is approaching. Over, shhhhhhhhhh ..."


"Don't get loose. As soon as Gin appeared, change positions. Over, shhhhhhhhhh ..."


The buzzing of the sound of a walkie talkie sahut recalls alternately. Hervi placed the object on the table and returned focus to the CCTV screen. Two police teams were deployed to arrest a drug syndicate that has long been a target of the police. One of the squads has taken to the field to follow the suspected couriers. Hervi and two other colleagues collected CCTV footage as evidence.


"Drrttt ... Drrrtt ..."


Hervi glanced at his vibrating phone, there was a foreign number there.


"Boss, it seems important," point to Pie on Hervi's phone screen.


All day the phone kept vibrating with the same number. Hervi did not use his personal mobile phone while on duty because it was prone to wiretapping. After all, only certain people know the phone number so Hervi often ignores calls from foreign numbers that are not registered on his phone. For emergency situations, his family would definitely contact the office and his men could pass on via radio devices.


"Focus" Hervi commands Pie, who keeps staring at the phone screen. Ignoring a vibrating phone for the fifth time.


...***...


"Not in the lift either, Aska?" Ask Aldi as soon as Aska puts his phone on the table.


Aska put on a pouting face. Dozens of times he called Hervi's cell phone but never once picked up.


"Are you sure this is the number?" hiss Aska was upset.


"Yes, I even consulted an alumni group for his number," said Aldi quickly. He saw the emotions of Aska who was ready to explode.


"This is so arrogant man!" Grouser Aska.


Aldi chuckles amusedly. "Maybe he's busy."


Suddenly he had an idea in his mind. "Why do we go straight to his office?"


"Don't, if he's busy we can get kicked out."


"But Al, I'd like to quickly get some information. I'm afraid we're late,"


Aldi grabbed his sister's arm. Stop Aska from thinking bad things. "You need to calm down, Aska. If Bima is still alive, we'll find her soon."


Aska nodded slowly. Trying to stay strong.
