The Gem of the Heart of the Former Thug

take good care of him

“Zul” call Budi, after the three people entered the treatment room.

“What's up?” ask Budi.

“Eeem”

Zulfikar was somewhat hesitant to answer Budi's question. Because, the policeman who was guarding this room, kept staring at him. As if watching his movements.

“Sampe now they both do not want to open the sound, mas” replied Zulfikar. Her voice is soft.

“What?”

Be surprised, and not in thought. From day to night, they could endure not telling their true selves.

“But from several accessories, weapons, bullets, to their devices, we find a connection between the two with a syndicate”

“Dino?” ask Budi.

“There is no connection between the syndicate and Dino” Zulfikar replied.

“What syndicate, tuh?” ask Erika.

“They are rich expandable, mbak” replied Zulfikar.

I looked at Erika. He recalled Erika's words that likened him to the old expandable, and her group of Sephia was like a new expandable.

“They work for anyone who wants to pay them. Most of the time, they are hired to do big jobs with high precision”

“High precision?” ask Budi while laughing.

“Kalo is precision, they should not be chasing after the Vani. They should know very well about the dongle they are looking for. Come on! Their first commandment was, nybut dongle was at the home of Vani's parents. If precision, they shouldn't have to come to that house. It should be the nyamperin Vani. They also immediately took it. This is the work of a boy, Zul”

“That's outwitting, mas” sahut Zulfikar.

“Means?”

“Those we met at his base were just camouflage. They're good, play it. But they're not the original syndicate. They were deliberately formed, first as client recipients, second, as deceivers, third, as shield” Zulfikar replied. Budi scrunched his forehead.

“They are real, it has not been discovered who they are, and where they are. The number is not yet known” continued Zulfikar.

Budi looked pensive. Somewhat angry also he, found the person who harmed his sister was just a class camo thug. While the big class, not yet discovered. That is, similar events, are still very likely to occur in the future.

“But there is one leak from the insider” Zulfikar chirps. Suddenly Budi lifted his head back.

“They call their boss by call, Nandir” continued Zulfikar.

“Nandir?” tanya Budi.

“Yes. Did you ever hear that name?” sahut Zufikar's.

Budi looked at Erika. His eyes seemed to demand an explanation on the same name as the one called Zulfikar, but with slightly different details.

“I'm just saying Rita, mas. If there are details that Rita hides, yes where I know” said Erika, answering Budi's eyes.

“Emang Sandi ever contact Nandir, mbak?” ask Zulfikar.

“Ndon't know. I was just reported by one of Sandi's right hands, if Darwanto, his men mas Eko, it was just an actor. Taken the look of doang, handsome, dashing, rich mas Budi. But the one who confessed to the operation, it was someone else” replied Erika.

“Embak never met the person?”

“Eeem” Erika seems to think first.

“It has paper, same pen?” ask Erika.

“This, mbak” replied Zulfikar. He handed me his notebook, and his pen.

Then Erika drew a sketch on a plain page with no lines. He described the process of BBM theft in a warehouse.

He also described the profile of the person called Nandir. There is no visible face indeed, because the position drawn is the position of the back to back.

But Erika added a detailed picture of the special traits she could see in the person called Nandir. One of them is a tattoo on the right arm.

“I Cuman know it. It's Nandir. The three people, the can, the hammer, the same Rita” said Erika, after she finished drawing the sketch.

“Info very valuable, mbak. I will continue to my team” replied Zulfikar.

“Huff”

Erika was heard snorting, making Budi and Zulfikar stare at her. But it was not the sketch that made Erika snort, but there were two people who were walking up to them.

“Assalamu’alaikum”

Madina's voice greeted.

“Now, what I said” muttered Erika.

“Wa’alaikum salam” replied Budi while smiling amusedly.

“Princess is awake, mas?” madina asked during the salutation with Zulfikar.

“Udah. Alhamdulillah” replied Zulfikar.

“Sorry yes mas, can only come here again” said Madina, when salim on Budi.

Erika glares as Madina kisses Budi's hand. Although he knew that Madina meant only to honor Budi, but her Budinya became pensive, that made him jealous.

“Aduh” complained Budi, when got a pinch on the waist.

“Iya. No papa. Parents themselves are more obliged to precede in” replied Budi.

Madina glanced at Erika. And the two of them were like cynical gazes.

“But replacements yes, entry. There is still Farah CS in Dalem” continued Budi.

“Oh. Is there Farah, mas?” chirps Adel.

Although not experiencing Budi, but the question Adel has become a separate ember, which can inflame jealousy in Erika's heart.

“Ada” reply Budi Brief.

“Aduh”

Budi was surprised to get a stampede at his feet. It turned out that his smile on Adel made Erika could no longer bear to remain silent.

“Can you, Madin nemenin Princess in dalem?” continued Madina.

“Bby, lah. It fits, actually. If the panjul macem-macem same Princess, tabok aja!” reply Budi.

“Hempf. Ha ha ha”

Madina laughed at Budi's joke. Zulfikar seemed willing to protest, called haphazardly by Budi. But he did not dare to say it.

“Udah yet, which?”

Someone shouted from a distance. All eyes fell on him. It was Luki. Erika immediately turned her gaze towards Budi. And the change in the face of Budi, even though this time has been much reduced than before.

“But” reply Adel.

“Mas, mom is there?” ask Adel to Budi.

“There. Want to call?” reply Budi.

“Boleh” suhut Adel.

The budipun approached the entrance. While Erika, she still keeps an eye on Adel's movements.

“You need what's the same mom?” ask Erika.

The atmosphere became stiff. For a while, Erika and Adel just stared at each other.

“Oh. Just want to nyampein take care of my mother” Adel replied with a smile. He showed me the sling bag he was carrying.

“Eh. There's mbak Adel. Where's madin?” exclaimed madam Ratih, when she came out of the ward.

“E uh. Here it turns out” cried again, as Madina stretched out her hand, right to the left of Ratih's mom. Madinpun sungkem on Ratih's mom.

“Mother is not coming?” ask Ratih ma'am.

“No, ma. We need to do so” replied Adel, salim and kiss hands on Ratih ma'am.

“Pity if you have to come with us first. At least tomorrow morning I anter here.no papa right, ma'am?” continued Adel.

“Ngak papa's. It is better so” replied Mrs Ratih.

“Madina how?” continued.

“Madin to nginep bu. Already from the afternoon of frenzy, want to meet Putri” replied Adel.

“Oh, yes Alloh. No papa, sleeping with tiker doang?” goda bu Ratih's.

“Ya Alloh, mom. Is he waiting for you, put on a mattress? Same with mom, sleep. Slap pake tiker doang” replied Madina. There were tears rolling down her cheeks.

“Iya, yes, yes. Thanks to nduk. Weak teles, ya” said bu Ratih, while holding Madina into his arms.

“Bu, there is a drop from ibuk” Adel said, breaking the silence.

“Oh. What?” tanya Ratih, while releasing her embrace from Madina.

“Sorry mom, Adel doesn't know. Adel just dipesenin, to give this bag to mother” replied Adel, while handing the sling bag of faded white cloth.

“Ya Alloh Lus, this is my mom's bag. You still keep it simple. Still good, again” comments bu Ratih.

“This is Ratmi's bag, Bud” said Ratih bu to Budi, referring to his mother Ratih bu.

“Ya time?” comments, less trust.

“Totally. This used to love the mother with Lusi, when playing school-school” replied Ratih ma'am.

“Not dipake, he even went in here. Still small, sih” continued bu Ratih.

“Hempf. Ha ha ha ha ha”

Laugh at his mother's jokes. He felt funny, imagining Ms. Lusi getting into the bag. Everyone laughed at Budi's laugh, which sounded funny.

“I accept yes, mbak Adel? Say thank you mom, make your mom!” pinta bu Ratih's.

“Good, mom. I will tell you later replied Adel.

“Then, Adel said yes bu?” continued Adel.

“Loh. How to hurry?” sahut ma'am Ratih.

“Ambilin drink first dong, Bud!” pinta bu Ratih's.

“Nevent gone, ma'am. Thanks though. Sorry mom, we have an appointment. Not good if not kept. I'm the same vice Madina huh, bu?” push down the delicate Adel.

“Oh, so. Yeah, deh. Thank you, mbak Adel” replied Mrs Ratih.

“Sama-sama, ma. Adel pamit yes, bu” said Adel, while salim again.

“May Princess Cepet healed yes, bu” Adel prayer.

“Amins. Thank you so” replied Mrs Ratih.

They glorify them one by one. And tell Madina to take care of her health as well. While shaking hands with Erika, there was tension there.

“Take care of him, yes! May langgeng” said Adel lirih.

For some reason, Erika's face turned mellow. The jealousy that he had expressed since then, as if it had decayed, when he was close to Adel. Erika nodded. He took off his shaman, and moved away.

“Assalamu’alaikum” said Adel, before leaving.

“Wa’alaikum salam” answer them.

Turn right, accompanied by Luki. They're moving away.

“Hei” call Erika. Not only Adel and Luki, everyone also turned to her.

“Watch your back!” exclaim Erika.

“Hem?” Adel did not understand Erika's intentions.

But, despite not understanding, Adel still nodded his head. He smiled as if he understood. Holding back the nod of his head once, he retreated.

Soon, Farah and the others came out to say goodbye. Except Aldo. He stayed because he felt part of Stevani. After they left, Zulfikar asked permission to see his lover. Budi and Madam Ratih allowed it.
