The Gem of the Heart of the Former Thug
satay bull what T-Rex?
“What's up, mas?” asked Zulfikar, after being away from the Princess's nursery.
Not immediately answer. He spread out a glance first, scanning the surroundings.
“You know who Salma is?” ask Budi.
Zulfikar was confused to be asked that. Because according to him, Budi is much more familiar with the police than he is. But then he understood, what Budi meant was the role of the policewoman.
“Salma is neutral. Fatoni who was a bit of a whimper” replied Zulfikar.
Look back, but don't respond immediately. He thought of some possibilities from Zulfikar's answer.
“But in relation to Sandi's case, they are both on the same side. Fatoni himself is very ambitious to dismantle the syndicate that was almost dismantled” continued Zulfikar.
“Mister Bejo?” ask Budi.
“Loh. How do you know Budi?” zulfikar's response was shocked.
“She said, as of my information retrieval earlier this afternoon” replied Budi.
“Oh. Tumben?” comments Zulfikar short.
“Tumben why?” ask Budi.
“She rarely shares info other than with her team. Except for the person he signed” Zulfikar replied.
“Mark how?”
“Already know the inside of that person”
“OK. It's not unusual for the police to know so much about me. What I'm curious about, their information is Valid what is not?”
“Honestly, I'm lazy to say it. But yes, I have to admit. They're both the best in the drug scene. Even in the ranks of police intel in general, they were both elite. He even recruited an eight-eight census. Which pas Salma ninggalin mas Budi first it”
“Wow” comments Short.
“They know more than other intel. Even they have their own networks that other intel doesn't know” Zulfikar said again.
Budi stunned. Her fear floated at the moment she saw a photo of the person they referred to as mister Bejo. His heart revolted, disavowing, rejecting the information Zulfikar had given.
“Mas?” zulfikar.
Be surprised. He looked at Zulfikar with a thousand questions in his eyes.
“You know about mister Bejo?” ask Budi.
“No, mas. We-we also know from the two of them. But our scoope is just a potential non-narcotic criminal. Some kind of thuggish. Kalopun there is a finding of narcotics, yes we must leave it to the drug sat. Those who continue”
“So, if he's telling me a photo, and he says it's mister Bejo, is it valid?”
“We need to agree first, mas”
“Haihi. How?”
“What's the matter, mas? Can you see the rich man in the photo?” ask Zulfikar.
He looked into Zulfikar's eyes. He still hesitates to say it.
“Kalo mas Budi emang clay, mending said to Salma aja, mas!” zulfikar.
“But he's serious what just ngetes me? And is he trustworthy?”
“Even if I'm clingy with Fatoni, but I have to confess, if he's the same Salma is clean, mas. If he's a dirty man, you must immediately ngingetin I”
“So you think, that info, valid?”
“Ya depends. We have to understand first. Which one do you mean? If it is the same as the one he loves to us-we, it means valid”
“Huuuffft” Budi sighed heavily.
“Mending meet Salma aja, first, mas!” zulfikar.
“Not necessarily also, what is loved to mas Budi, is mister Bejo who is actually” continued Zulfikar.
“Billing?”
“Yes. Make squirm reaction mas Budi”
“Don't tell me that he loves my photo” lanut Zulfikar.
Laugh at hearing that word.
“Not. But yes, I know the guy” replied Budi slightly disguising the answer.
“Udah. Same with Salma, my mom! Afraid of wrong me, if you comment a lot-many” advice Zulfikar.
“Ya. Back to Princess's room, yuk!”
“Yuk”
They went back down the hallway to the Princess's nursery. But Adhan maghrib seized their attention. And they decided to pray maghrib first.
***
When they returned to the Princess's nursery, there was a doctor who was examining the Princess' condition. And it also looks like Madina has returned with a bag. He seemed to be talking seriously with his brother.
Budi felt strange with the look on Adel's face that looked moody. A few times Adel called someone. But Budi did not rebuke him. He only watched from five meters away.
“Loh, uh. This is the mas who previously asked his wife to make a day, right?”
A call to avert Budi's gaze. And it looks like a female doctor and a nurse who is no stranger to Budi.
“Eh, ma'am doctor. Remember me?” suhut Budi while saluting the doctor.
Across the street, Adel looked up too. The look on his face implied jealousy and envy, hearing the word ‘istri’ called that doctor. And Budi did not rectify the doctor's statement.
“Her wife hurts again, mas?” ask the doctor.
“No, ma. The one in the dalem, my sister” replied Budi.
“Oh, the sister Princess, what sister Vani?”
“Princess, doc. That's my sister”
“Oh, yes Alloh” comments the doctor.
“How is my sister's condition, doc?” ask Budi.
“Oh, yes. Look, mas. Sister Princess, indeed has shown significant development. But we still need to do the handling and monitoring of complaints in his head”
“Sort of concussion, doc?” ask Budi lirih.
“He's headed there, mas. But still in a mild condition. Hopefully, in the next day or two, the patient will not complain about the pain in his head. So, it can be continued outpatient for the recovery of his hands and feet” replied the doctor smirked as well.
“Good, doc. Please do your best!” pinta Budi's.
“Definitely, mas” replied the doctor.
“For a while, so it used to be, mas. Tomorrow morning we observe again” said the doctor.
“Good doc, bestowed”
“Excuse”
“Please”
“Put. Still dizzy?” ask without further ado.
“Udah meningan. Just if laughing loosely, still like twitching” replied Princess.
“Make a meal?”
“Different paths, lah”
“I mean, is it okay does it still taste bitter?”
“Udah is good, anyway. Eating apples also tastes sweet”
“Wah, he wants that anyway. Entar dikasih salak said it was bitter, deh” comments Budi.
“What's the matter, anyway? His sister is sick, also” sergeah bu Ratih.
“Mas” call Princess.
“Ya?”sahut Budi's.
“So really, which did Budi say?” ask Princess.
“What's it?” Confused by the Princess's question.
“Yang mas Zul tepe-tepe sama mbak Nungki”
“Oh. Ha ha ha ha ha. Henggak” Budi replied while chuckling.
“Serious?”
“Ya Alloh, Put. We are rich and never joke. Lu aja carelessly, ngatain oneng” cave girl
“Hempf”
In his jealousy, the Princess could still laugh at Budi's answer.
“Alhamdulillah” said the Princess gave thanks.
“Bapak if jealous like this huh, bu?” ask Budi.
“Iya” replied bu Ratih while chuckling.
*Tok tock*
The door to the room was knocked from the outside. And Adel appeared with Madina behind him.
“Bu Ratih's. Adel wants to say goodbye first, bu” said Adel, while approaching Ratih bu.
“Eh. Have you eaten, not yet?” ask Budi.
“But” replied bu Ratih.
“Wait a minute, Del! I buyin eat first” pinta Budi.
“No need, mas. mother cook, kok” reject Adel.
“Thankallah” comments Budi.
“Kok thank goodness?” princess Protest.
“No jago boong” reply Budi.
“Take it forward! Same Aldo same Zul too!”
“Mother wrapped?” ask Budi.
“Boleh” replied bu Ratih.
“Sate yes bu?”
“Iya”
“What's T-Rex?”
“Hempf. Ha ha ha ha ha”
There was laughter from across there.
“Wah. Songong, bu” exclaimed the Princess accompanied Stevani's laughter.
“Liar fierce. Zul wants to stay here. If caught mode, let it be cremus” replied Budi.
Mrs Ratih just ruffled her waist while shaking her head. His eyes were malotot as if angry at the mind.
“Astaghfirulloh” muttered Budi.
He acted as if he was shocked to see his mother glaring. Then he went to the corner of the room while knocking out his ears.
Everyone who saw him laughed. To the point that Zulfikar entered out of curiosity.
“Ya already yuk, eat first, just returned home” invite Budi.
“I pack aja, Bud. Eat here aja” exciting Aldo.
“Why?”
“Riki OTW to here, same si galang”
“Call?”
“Child QC, the same debate lu”
“O. Yes yes yes” comments Budi while smiling teasingly.
Gilang is a guy who also has a crush on Stevani. But once both were afraid of Budi.
“Yuk!” take the favor of the others.
“I just a minute, mas” reject Zulfikar.
“Why, lu?” ask Budi wonder.
“My job is to be unpredictable, mas. Mumpung no time” replied Zulfikar.
“Eem. How, mom?” ask her mother.
“Yes, just pack it! I want to pray first” replied Mrs Ratih.
“Adel at home, mas” chirps Adel.
“You want to refuse too?” tanya Budi is a bit high.
“OK. Yuk!” continue Budi.
He grabbed Madina's hand, and walked towards the door. Madina was surprised and turned to the Princess. The princess was equally surprised.
A moment later his body was attracted by Budi. And his reflexes drew his brother's hand.
“Dek?”
Adel was surprised and reflexively exclaimed. Budi was initially surprised to hear Adel screech. But he didn't care and kept going. He even smiled. He was happy, Adel finally wanted to come along.
He chuckled, as Adel shook his head. I decided to take the two of them to eat satay.
