The Bullet of Love of General Hafidz

Papa and Akmal

For a moment he was silent, then said, "Oh yes ... This incident is like a pattern of abductions that Papa has been handling lately. The kidnapper is always free, and Papa always gets a reprimand from the boss."

"That's it, Pa."

Hasan was breathing out violently. As if to eliminate the problem that now shackles him as far as possible. The cases he handled did not find a bright spot, even now his own son is almost a victim. Is this on purpose, because it's possible that he was targeted. Or just a coincidence. This is something that he cannot understand.

"See, Akmal. Papa doesn't know what's really going on."

Akmal didn't say a word. He was silent, trying to digest the heart-felt expressions of the man beside him. Not that he has no solution, but there is no way he acts that is not his territory.

"No more news. It's all gone, like swallowed up by the earth."

"His parents are not looking."

"It's been, but it hasn't been found."

Akmal silent. Sometimes he plays his fingers. Something feels wrong. But there is no courage to express it.

"Akmal hopes that one day Papa will find the bright spot of this problem. And these kinds of kidnappings don't happen anymore."

"Papa hoped so too."

Akmal thought, Are they kidnapped by the same people who kidnapped Abid. If so, it is very dangerous. As witnessed when he saved Abid. They have gone too far to use humans as an experimental medium. That's very barbaric.

Abid, Tazkia, then who else he doesn't know. It's getting complicated. Until he was confused where to start, to solve this problem. From Tazkia-kah, from Abid-kah or from Papa Hasan who investigated the abduction of the children. In order for more children to be saved from that unnecessary experiment, Akmal thought.

There was regret over why he would conduct such an experiment if it was used like this. Not that he meant to disrupt civil society, he just wanted to protect. And there is not the slightest desire to disturb innocent human beings. It's completely out of his control.

Another event 10 years ago, about the plant that some parts have been stolen.

His conscience did not accept, so Akmal unconsciously said the word, "Ah." to dismiss all the shadows that made his heart increasingly worried. It was unexpected that it would attract the attention of the man beside her.

Akmal raised his head.

"There's nothing, Pa. It's just that Akmal is still thinking about the kidnapped children. How is their fate?"

"Papa also thought," he said later. At a glance Hasan glanced at Akmal who could not eliminate the anger on his face.

"Have you not thought it was Papa's business."

Akmal smiled. He did not want to show his anger in front of Hasan. Maybe he'll guess the no-no. And will ask further about something that is not yet time to be delivered. About Abid's true state.

"Alhamdulillah Abid survived. Hopefully others will be found soon."

"Aamiiin," he said slowly.

"Oh yes .. Apologize Papa to your mother Papa. Can't take you tonight."

"God willing Papa will understand ... But this doesn't mean Papa refused me to invite Ayu's sister."

"If you mean it and Setyawati accepts it, what right does Papa have to hinder you. But remember, before ijab qobul do not mess around!"

"Ready, Pa."

Again a smile appeared on Akmal's lips. Another step of desire that as long as it has been harbored, will soon be realized.

Jamilah who has got the car keys from his Sister-in-law, approached them.

"Pa, we go first" they said.
