The Gem of the Heart of the Former Thug

his body was healed, but his soul went nowhere

In his heart, Adel actually wanted to visit Budi's house. But her parents were always at home. He looked forward to the time when his father and mother went out of town again. But so far, it's only a trip within the city, which doesn't take long. Not to mention, neither Luki nor Dino, always looked at him.

The two of them always alternate. Never met at one time, but also no day passed without one of them.

Madina also always gave news, if her mother Adi always played in her neighbor's house, around the house of gratitude. Even if only in a matter of minutes, but the hour of his arrival is unpredictable. Madina advised Adel to be patient first. Until Madina gets precise information, about when the right time to visit Budi's house.

The longer, the more impatient Adel became. His sadness and longing were unbearable. He felt increasingly tired, had to pretend to continue. He's getting sick of having to see Dino so often. Until today, exactly one week from the time the message from the Princess received Madina. Adel could no longer hold on.

“Mbak, not now!” prevent Madina.

The quiet voice implied an insecure state for Adel to carry out his wishes. Madina pulled her sister back to her room.

“Keep until when, Shoot to pretend gini, deck? Embroken tired. Embak want to see the condition mas Budi” protest Adel.

“Wait until nine o'clock yes, mbak!” answer Madina. Adel gasp.

“Later nine o'clock, father and mother want to go to Jogja again. Madin thought it was a good day for Adel to go there. But wait until father and mother leave first!”continued Madina.

“Still in two hours, dek” complained Adel.

“Wait another two hours, that's better, than mbak Adel business last week”

“Aaaaah. What's the difference, anyway? yesterday we also went for a walk, used a motorbike. In fact, same mother. Yesterday the day after tomorrow, the father of the same mother went to malem. But your team keeps shooting. What do you want anyway, dek?” Adel was getting upset.

“Kalo Shoot can take care of Emotions, Madin will not deny shooting. But Madin is sure, shoot will definitely hit him all out. And that, makes our efforts all this time in vain. Because what we want to reveal is something very big. We want to expose a conspiracy, ma'am. The evil conspiracy, whose effect is still Adel Rasain. Does Adel accept being treated as rich? If Madin who is possessed is rich, for whatever sake, Madin will take revenge, mbak”

“Indeed, she gets huddled every day, so?”

“Yap”

“Ish, her husband can't manage her, what? just a few days, it's! Once upon a time when I met embak, mas Budi directly keinget again, everything”

“Ya, Madin thought so” too

“Continue? Why do you keep nagging?”

“His cup is a lot. His network was beyond the surrounding mas Budi. Three days in a row yesterday, it's the Princess again ngetes, who is loyal to her. Madin forbade shooting to go there. Once they know if Mbak Adel already inget same mas Budi, it's a danger to the safety of shoot. Yesterday was just forgotten. Entar?”

“Terus, how to make a Budi inget mas? The way out is just that. If the Budi mas is not healed, the shoot time will be forever gini?”

“Yes must be patient. A month minimum”

“Come on?”

“Today, those who are loyal to his mother Adi, again the condition out of town. His mother Adi also. It's the right moment, ma'am. Hopefully, mbak Adel can be a trigger for the return of memory mas Budi”

“But two hours is long, Dek” whining Adel.

“Mending Shoot sunnah prayer first! May Allah be pleased with the miracle. Alloh deigned to lift the disease mas Budi. And deign nyatuin again mbak Adel same mas Budi” advises Madina.

“Huuffftt. Yeah, deh. I think it's really what you said” replied Adel.

He then went to take ablution water, then set up sunnah prayer. In each of his prostrations, he pleaded with all his heart, that he and Budi, might be granted healing. And in order to return to normal activities, together, like before.

Finally, after a long wait, Adel's father and mother left. Both Adel and Madina, let go of their father and mother, with faces made as if sad. In fact, Adel really wants them to leave immediately.

After her parents died, Madina immediately pulled out her motorbike. Although initially confused, but now Adel understands. Madina was making a scenario, as if they would just walk around this village. Not going far out of the village. This is to reduce the urgency of the surrounding residents who are loyal to their father.

It was true what Madina said. Arriving near Budi's house, there was a bridal group that had just departed for the bride's residence. Fortunately Madina was sprightly, instead of turning in the supposed alley, Madina chose to rotate through another alley.

Arriving in front of Budi's house, Adel was nervous when he saw Budi was drying clothes. Seen in his eyes, if Budi is healthy as ever.

“Assalamu’alaikum”

The two of them said their regards, after parking the bike.

“Wa’alaikum salam” replied Budi.

Budi who had not noticed the motor passing next to him, was surprised, when he found the motorbike was visiting his home.

“Who do you meet, mbak?” ask Budi.

He moved closer to both. He reached out his hand to shake. There, Adel began to feel sad. Because Budi didn't recognize him.

“We'll see you Ratih. There need” replied Madina.

“Oh, no. He was in the back, earlier. Please come in first! I call first” replied Budi.

Adel twisted his body. He could no longer hold back his tears of sorrow. Budi who loved him so much, let him into the house, as a guest should. Not as much as his soul mate's lover. She flinched, as Madina poked her hand. He also followed his sister, who had first reached the terrace of Budi's house.

“Allohu Akbar, mbak Adel?” exclaims madam Ratih.

“Ibu” exciting Adel too.

Adel's cry broke on Bu Ratih's shoulder. And vice versa. The atmosphere of silence instantly turned into a blue glow. Not to be left with Madina and Princess. The two also hugged while hugging. Leave Budi in confusion.

“Mbak Adel is fit again?” ask Ratih ma'am.

“Alhamdulillah, mom. Adel has healed” replied Adel.

Although he forced to smile, but his sadness was completely hidden.

“Thank God. Sit down, mbak! Mom makes drink first” pinta bu Ratih.

“Not bother ma'am! Rich with guests aja” reject Adel smooth.

“Kan emang guest, mbak” sahut Princess.

“Tuh, have been answered” said bu Ratih sambi smile.

Adel did not answer again. His eyes were fixed on the athletic figure on his bike. A figure that looks, which can grab his attention.

But that figure, now it's not like a body without life. Without authority, without a resolute aura, without a mysterious aura. And certainly, without memory, that this one in front of him was the one who had made him unable to sleep. The one whose shadow kept on disturbing all night. Now he is like a street child adopted by the coach. It really feels like someone else, Adel.

When Budi budi back, Adel turned his body. Her tears rolled again, without her being able to stand. For a few moments he closed his eyes. When he opened his eyes, he was surprised to see a motorbike, maroon in color. The same motor as the motor. The bike that has changed is very worried. Many abrasions here and there, there were broken, twisted parts, and other damage.

Assalamu’alaikum

Suddenly a shadow flashed in Adel's vision. The shadow at the time Adel was in a celebration. He was waiting for his turn to sing. Then talk to someone over the phone.

Adel's head began to throb, but he tried to hold it. He deliberately immersed himself in the memory pieces that were being rotated by his brain. One answer he got. It was about Budi who was going to pick her up.

Really, bram? So, how's mom?

There is a Princess. Once in a while, it is still understandable
