The Gem of the Heart of the Former Thug

mental Help

The night is still not over, the raindrops are still heard sayup – sayup in the silence of the night. Budi is still engrossed in his prayers. I don't know how many skirts she set up tonight.

The long needle of the wall clock had already moved a full turn. But Budi still goes and goes again. When the short hand of the clock was slightly shifted from the number two, Budi ended his evening prayer.

At first, he was about to go back to sleep, while waiting for dawn. But seeing her phone on, she was curious, there was a notification of what was coming in. Just standard social media notifications. Take a look at the short message service. No incoming messages yet.

He also sees the status of the – people whose numbers he keeps. She was shocked to wake up when she discovered there was a short video of someone close to her late –. Yeah, that's Adel's status.

There was a short video he shared. The video tells the story that he and his family are on a road that is quite dark and far from the village residents. Seen in the video, a man – men are checking the car engine. The engine looks smoky. Two other women nearby looked agitated. You can guess that they are Adel's mother and sister.

TUUUUTS

I immediately contacted Adel via video call.

“Halo, assalamu’alaikum” greet Adel from across there. It appeared on his face a stain of uneasiness.

“Wa’alaikum greetings. Why's the car, Del?” tanya Budi without bases – stale.

“This is Bud, arrived – arrived aja machine ngebul” replied Adel.

Seen in the screen of Budi's phone, – men who were checking the machine, were about to open the radiator cap.

“Do not open first, sir!” pekik Budi's.

The man was shocked and stopped what he was trying to do. He looked at Adel's phone.

“The temperature is still very high sir. Danger. Father's hand can blister.” continued Budi.

“What to do, Bud?” ask Adel.

“Try seeing below dong, under his car!” pinta Budi's.

Adel pointed his cell phone camera under his car. There's a pretty intense water droplet there.

“Oh, the radiator hose is saggy, which is below” said Budi.

“Terus?” ask Adel.

“Where are you?”

“Karanggee. On main road”

“OK. Far from home?”

“Kalo deket anyway, have asked for help residents here” sahut men – that man.

“Bapak” rebel Adel.

“What does the radiator water wear, sir?” ask Budi.

“P****” he mentions brands.

“Walah, can fit really, ya” exclaim Budi.

“Means?” ask Adel.

“This, the radiator water is Eko, there is still a sejerigen here. The brand is the same, tuh” replied Budi showed a jerrycan in the corner of his room.

“We pinjem first, yes. Tomorrow I change, deh” pinta Adel.

“Iya” replied Budi while chuckling.

“Ya already, wait, yes!” pinta Budi's. He looks set to – ready to go.

Bu Ratih was surprised to see his eldest son preparing to leave the house. He thought his nephew needed help. Budi told about the situation experienced by Adel. And Bu Ratih turned around to help Adel and his family.

With the equipment he predicted would be necessary, Budi slid to where Adel was. About twenty minutes later, Budi got to where he was going.

“Aalhamdulillah's. Kirain does not come” exclaimed Adel.

“Yes times, already nongolin face, not so dateng” replied Budi.

“Still yes, nang, already want to bother – bothered nolongin” said bu Lusi.

“New also want to be helped, Bu” replied Budi.

“Keep, what is it, ngger?” ask Mr. Fajar.

“Em, I dated the clamps here first, pak” replied Budi.

He went straight to the bottom of the car. Small flashlight she turns on and she clasps with – teeth. He then collapsed and then shifted into the undercarriage of the car.

“Where, Bud?” ask Adel.

“Stay fill water radiatornya” replied Budi.

He touched slowly the radiator cap. Make sure that the temperature of the lid is cold enough for him to hold. It feels cold, Budi immediately open the lid. He slowly filled the new radiator water from inside the jerry can that he was carrying.

“Try on, sir!” pinta Budi's.

“Oh, okay” replied Mr. Dawn.

*Creeeng*

The car engine is on. Check the bottom of the machine. He noticed the hose he had fixed. So far no more visible droplets. And the machine sounds normal.

“Try on gas, sir!”pinta Budi, she's a little away from the machine.

*BREEEEEMMM, BREEEEMM*

Mr. Dawn stepped on the gas pedal a few times. And still no droplets in sight. That's the sign, the leak was resolved.

Budi bleeding on special valves. With the aim, so that the trapped air, can get out of the radiator path. Budi asked Mr. Fajar to turn off his car engine. Reopen the radiator tank cover. And add more radiator water, because he assesses there is a reduction in the volume of radiator water on his tank. At once he filled his spare tank.

“Should've solved the problem, sir. But it's good, tomorrow you check again, the radiator path to the workshop. I'm afraid there are still other leaks that haven't been seen” Budi's advice.

“Yes, tomorrow I have a plan so” replied Mr. Fajar.

“Then, please continue the journey, Pak” said Budi.

“This is to replace the Radiator Water” said Mr. Dawn.

“Oh, no need, sir. No papa” reject Budi, smooth.

“Terus, if your mass is, how?”

“No papa, sir. Safe, kok”

“Ya already, for you only. right you are tired – tired come to kari” sahut bu Lusi. Be smiling.

“Thank you, bu” decline again.

“I like it, mom. Itung – itung as a form of my gratitude, because it was once helped by people at a crucial time like this” continued Budi.

“Not because of Adel, right?” ask Mr. Fajar.

“Bapak, what the hell?” adel Tegur.

“Do not enter the heart yes, Bud!” pinta Adel. Be smiling.

“Do not pawn your ad just for the attention of a woman. You will get tired of doang” said Mr. Fajar.

“Mr!” adel again. Still smiling again.

“Good, sir. If so, I'm sorry first” said Budi.

“Bud, do not enter the heart, yes!” pinta Adel again.

“Iya” reply Budi.

Adel let go of Budi with shame. Instead of thanking him, his father even prejudiced Budi. Even if it is true, what is wrong with saying thank you?

“Adel, sorry sir, nduk” said Mr. Dawn in the car. Adel did not answer.

“What you said right, right” sahut bu Lusi.

“Yes but not so, Mom. Even so, what's wrong?”

“Bapak just don't like, there are guys who are good with the father, just make dapetin attention of girls Bapak” replied Mr. Fajar.

“Sok good? that was you said good-ass?” adel asked confused.

“It was two in the morning, sir. Of the many guys who see the status of Adel, the guy who likes the same caper Adel, who likes the same caper father as well, just look at the doang. Come on, not a single. Cuman Budi who responded” continued Adel.

“Mbak, already, mbak. Patience!” pinta is slow.

Adel covered his face with both palms. He did not think, why his father still could not appreciate the kindness of people.

What else must he do with misfortune, until he can appreciate the sincerity of people? Adel decided to stay quiet along the way. His mother asked him to talk several times.
