The Gem of the Heart of the Former Thug

adel's meeting with his ex

Not far from Budi's place, Adel was standing while playing his phone. He was ordering an ojol, but there was not a single one nearby. He tried with other apps, nor has anyone welcomed his order yet.

O Allah, why in this hot weather, you test the servant with a heart-burning test? And why did You meet us when we were with a woman more beautiful than the servant, O Allah? I know, that woman must be his senior. Probably one of the managers at the factory. But I am jealous of you, Allaah.

“Adel”

Adel flinched from his daydream, hearing his name called. Someone who rides a motorbike, turns a bow, and approaches it.

“Udah cured?” ask the guy again.

“Eh, Dino mas. Hitherto. Alhamdulillah” Adel replied.

“Oh, have you taken everything again?” dino asked with a voice lowered.

“Not yet. Some important memories have not returned. I want to go to college, sing, eat there. He he” replied Adel.

“Cowok you where, alone aja”

“Cowok? When do I have a guy?”

“Budi. The same one you were before?”

“Budi? Which one is it? I don't have any acquaintance named Budi. Luki, kali? Who played home yesterday"

“Oh, is that Luki? kirain”

“Continue, where are you going?” continued Dino.

“Oh, want to go home anyway. This nyari ojol do not dapet-dapet”

“Emang was here the same who?”

“Sama time. He said there was business in the pub. Uh not back and forth”

“Yes, I'm anterin yuk!” tawar Dino's.

“Nevent gone, thanks. Dino is still working. Entar already bell in, not nyampe workplace, berabe” reject Adel smooth.

“Quiet me! Make Adel, scolded master too, ready. From work, but Adel's mind is hot here. Sama aja” said Dino kekeh.

“Aduh, how, yes?”

Adel was actually scared. But since he is still in the status of acting, so he should play his role in this play as well as possible. That means, Adel must assume that this Dino is the person who has been instrumental in helping him. So, it would seem disrespectful if he rejected her offer.

“Kalo ngerepotin mas Dino” replied Adel, a few moments later.

“Quiet, no nicotine, really. A pride for Dino, can take home the artist pride of the land of birth” replied Dino. Adel smile. It was as if he was blushing to get a compliment from Dino. Though he's fed up.

“Still earlier, mas” said Adel.

He also climbed on a Dino type sports bike. While his hands prepare a comb with a pointed handle. He placed the comb in the back pocket of his pants. With the tip facing down. So that the fitting he needs, once unplug, he can immediately finish the pointed tip.

At the lesehan restaurant, Budi looked confused, wanted to choose what food. He tried to guess, what food is suitable for a woman in front of him that, although he did not find a definite answer, Budi finally ordered two different menus, and two different drinks as well.

“Why the hell mbak, get angry? Husband letoy, huh?” tanya Budi.

“Hem?”

Isma, who was busy with her phone, was interested in her attention with Budi's question.

“Ha ha ha ha, letoy? Ha ha ha ha ha. I am still single, keles” replied Isma with a laugh.

“Oh, time anyway? kirain, have a family”

“Should be, but, haven't met her mate”

“Ya already, mbak. Don't take it dizzy! Sampe angry so”

“Not angry about soul mate Budi. Especially about letoy. I'm in the same sprain as you, tuh”

“Who else, that?"

“Halah, pretend. Yes Stevani, lah”

“Oh” Comments Budi short.

“Gebetan? Ha ha ha” he continued with a laugh.

“Yes is the same as you. Aldo sampe ngambek”

“OK, okay. Whatever. Then, why, why can't Isma be with him? Mbak Isma's guy, raided by him too? Letoy pantes. Abis first. Ha ha ha ha ha”

“Budi, ih”

“Aduh. Why nyubit?”

“That's so bad to say. My man is loyal, kal”

“Ha ha ha ha. Yes continue, why kesel?”

“Yes, he's a lot of money scattering. Make an entertainment, please. Make an exhibition, then. Make the transport, then. This, lah. That, lah. So much anyway” replied Isma directly to the problem.

“Em, sori nih, mbak. Ngebelain. But, instead of what Isma said earlier, it is natural for a sales marketing?” ask Budi.

“Iya anyway, emang. But that's not the way either. He thought, purchasing doesn't have a channel, what? I don't count, he's mark up the price. He flirted with the marketing vendors. From the offer, it was manipulated. The execution? Exhibition in singapore, use luxury decoration property. Wuih, photographed tuh, really fancy. So promising. But you know what?”

“What?"

“Cuman fitting documentation doang. Abis it temen me, who happened to be again at the expo, love a completely different photo. Simple bang”

“Loh, how can you?”

“It turns out, the luxury decoration property, the contract is just an hour.just make photos doang. Abis was dismantled again, replace the simple. I'm out on a three-day lease. He paid for it for just an hour. That's an overburden of funds up to seventy percent, Bud. Get in her pocket. I'm the same one that was dumped by Paul”

“Loh, if sir Paul knows, it should be Vani dong, which is dicecer”

“Hadeh. He was super if he told ngeboong. Report tuh, perfect, boongnya”

“Hem?”

“But nyampe target no, he?"

“Yes, target anyway, target. But shadowy, bud! money so much for eating, as well as the factory to all. It goes into his own pocket. Mr. Paul's turn is conscious, it's too late. My proof is to say that if Vani cheats, it's less powerful. Paul is the same. I'm the target”

“OK”

The comment is only short. While he chewed the side dishes from the dishes that were already available. Isma realized, if their initial purpose here, is to eat.

“Sorry yes, Bud. You laper huh, horrifying me nagging?”

“From earlier too, I was a laper, mbak. My stomach is demo. It is not that I dreaded his aspiration, but that of Isma. Good thing this morning I did not have breakfast toa” replied Budi.

“Ha ha ha ha”

Isma laughed at hearing the joke.

Currently, the motorbike that Adel is riding is already heading towards the middle of the city. It's already leading to the town square. But suddenly, Dino pulled the bike over.

“Del, I want to nengokin my brother first. Can, no?” ask Dino.

“Where?”

“Di polres's. He's again detained” replied Dino.

“Oh, long time no? For a long time, I got off aj”

“Not really. Just want to give her favorite food she”

“Oh, yes already. No papa” replied Adel agreed.

Dino directs the motor to the police. Although he is known as a thug in this city, but he has not been included in the list of crimes. The police were silent when they saw her coming.

He has access to it like any other civilian. Adel came in to accompany Dino. The parking lot is also hot. It was necessary to wait for a while, until the person whom Dino called brother, was brought to meet him.

The moment the man appeared, how shocked Adel was. It turns out that the person who is called a sister by Dino, is none other than his own ex-girlfriend.after a long time disappeared, and after he can forget it, forget the grievous ending of their story, and, now the man stood before him again.

Adel immediately remembered again, the times he often quarreled with his parents, because he was dating the most feared thugs in this city. Almost every day he was scolded, because every time he came home from school, he always stopped by at his girlfriend's headquarters.

And always get angry, every time there is news of a rebuttal, brawl, or something like that even just done by his girlfriend's men. Especially if the culprit is his girlfriend. Can be a whole month of nagging.

And every move, always watched by his father. He knows his girlfriend is cruel. But he felt, the guy was his girlfriend who loved him the most. He's the only guy who's dated her, but never made a kiss, a hug, let alone a touch.

If he says he doesn't want to, the guy doesn't push. Not like the others. That looks elegant, looks pinter, looks established, but in his brain just perverted.

If the tragedy hadn't happened, maybe we'd still be dating. Unfortunately, you believe the same trap. You believe the same intel is wrong. How can I forgive you, try? I told you once, that guy, my cousin. She's Shinta's sister. You are still jealous blind. If he's alive, maybe I can forgive you. Unfortunately, your actions were too difficult for me to accept.

“Mas, how are you?” greet Dino.

“Eits, who is Din? Ask brother.

“Oh, this is Adel, mas” replied Dino.

“Del, this is my sister, who I said” said Dino introduced her brother. Adel acted as if he was unfamiliar. Even though he was confused. As far as he knows, his ex is an only child. Then this Dino, cousin or what?

“Halo mas, I'm Adel” Adel said as he extended his hand.

“Oh, I'm Sandi” replied brother Dino, received Adel's hand. They shake hands tightly.

“This adel, actually mas” artist said Dino.

“Oh, yes? what artist?”

“She is more into mixed sari, sih”

“Oh. Oke”

“Unfortunately, she missed an accident, and lost her memory”

“Wadd. That, huh? already healed so, how can the same way Dino?” ask sandi.

“Aalhamdulillah's. Already” replied Adel.

“Continue, meet Dino where?”

“It just so happened, I found him, when the accident happened”

“Oh, so. How did it happen?” tanya sandi began researching.

Dino tells the chronology of events of his version. The man listened enthusiastically. He seemed to understand why Adel did not recognize him.

But he also felt awkward. Since the beginning of Dino's story, Adel was unceasingly swiping the tip of his right thumb with his middle finger.

For others, perhaps the gesture was a nervous expression, or something like that. But for ciphers, the gesture contains a special message. It was one of the cues he taught Adel, which meant balking at every statement someone made.

Means here, Adel rejects every detail of Dino's story. Make Sandi, if everyone around him turns out to be lying, including Adel. So the last person Sandi still believed her words, was Adel. So, in this case, Sandi chose to trust Adel. And assuming all of Dino's stories are lies.

“Wah, seneng. That, dong. Once in a while, do good right, there is no harm” commented Sandi.

“Ya already, mas. We unplug first, huh?”pamit sandi's.

“OK. Ati-ati, yes! cloudy sky” password message.

“Hem? Ngigau lu bang?” sahut Adel's.

“Hmpf. Ha ha ha ha ha. Just maklumin, del! Here is a dimly-lit” said Dino sambi laugh.

“Oh, scorching, huh? ha ha ha. sori deh. It's dimly lit here. Kirain mendung” Password.

They finally left, after Sandi returned to the holding cell. Adel returned to standby one. After this, his journey would pass through areas favorable to Dino. He can do anything to her. But, he was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief. Because Dino drove him home, with no drama or tragedy.
