The Gem of the Heart of the Former Thug

at the hotel's rooftop

Days change. Tonight Adel kept his promise. He came to the hotel shown by Sephia. The best hotel in town. With a swimming pool in it. But apparently not many people are staying at this hotel tonight. In the parking lot alone, there are only two units of parked cars.

For a moment, he smiled and shook his head. Without him inviting, a single memory flashed across his mind. This hotel is the same hotel, when some time ago he was cold hot after drinking a chocolate drink that had been contaminated with stimulants. In this hotel too, he did things that he shouldn't have done.

One of the other advantages of this hotel, is its rooftop. A suit room, open nature style. There are no ceramics on the floor. The lanscape looks like a piece from a hill. Amazed, that was the first impression, when Adel set foot in this place. Getting out of the elevator, it was like entering a cave. There's a vines in the mouth of the cave. Like being a barrier of view, between inside and outside the cave. In fact, it doesn't cover the view much.

There is a very elegant bed on the left. Like a queen's bed. With a thin white cloth, which surrounds the bed, like an anti-mosquito net, in ancient times. You could say, that white cloth, the actual vision barrier. Which protects its inhabitants, while doing the cool on the bed.

And there's a pool on the right. The pool looks like a pool that can sometimes be found appearing naturally in a cave. It really feels like being inside a cave.

Looking ahead, it appeared that a woman was walking towards Adel.

The same person who gave him a business card. This time he looked more relaxed. Only wear short jeans, knee-length. On top of that, he only used a red tanktop. And a clear pair of glasses, sweetening her pretty face.

“Learnest. It is not strange that Adel cannot be rivaled. Just in time” comments Sephia, while looking at the golden little clock, which is beautifully circular on her left arm.

“That's the main capital I inherited from mr.” Adel replied.

Both shake. There are no more pleasantries like the watu at the cafe, yesterday. Both of them already knew, for what they met tonight, in this place.

“Mari! We chat in front” take Shepia.

Adelpun followed where Sephia stepped. Although he is a native of this city, but to be able to get up here, is not a dream for him. Besides, it's too expensive for him. In the heart Adel admitted, if the view from above here is amazing.

As far as the eye can see, the stretch of sand, with flickering lights becomes a refresher for a tired heart. At the front end there, if this hotel is really on the beach, it would be more amazing. The waves that rise due to the full moon, become the main treat of this place. From here alone, he was already amazed.

“Happy version of the rich, it is difficult to accept nalar” comments Sephia. Adel flinched, finding Sephia already on his left.

“For me, running around in the sand there, it's happiness” Shephia continued.

“Nginepnya?” ask Adel.

Sepia did not answer immediately. He's even chuckling. She did not expect Adel to ask for lodging.

“Enough at guest house. One hundred, two hundred thousand. The important thing is to make sleep” replied Sephia.

Adel chuckles. Surely the answer contrasted when he saw, where he now set foot. But Adel didn't question that. He was still amazed by the beauty of the beach in his own city.

“Oh yes. How's Dino?” ask Sephia.

Although already know, there will be questions like that, but Adel was quite surprised, getting questions that directly lead to the core of the problem.

Adel looked towards the table. It looks like two sets of cutlery are available neatly on the table. He came to the table, and took a knife from there. He gave the knife to Sephia. Sepia smile.

“OK”

Sephia received the knife with her left hand. Then he grasped the sharp part of the knife with his right hand.

*Kress*

“Emh”

Sephia pulled the knife. Slowly, the silver on the sharp part of the blade turned red.

Fresh blood began to flow from Sephia's slashed palm. Adel took something out of his sling bag.

A powder container. He opened the lid, then he turned to Sephia. Sephia released her grip on the sharp part of the knife. Then he dripped the blood that came out of his palm into the container that Adel was brandishing. He filled it until it flooded the floor of the powder container. After feeling enough, Adel closed the powder container.

He gave her medicine and bandages to cover the cut on Sephia's palm.

As if he did not feel any pain, Sephia poured drinks for him and Adel. He gave a glass to Adel, while he himself, preferring to light a cigarette first.

“I wake up, like a newborn” said Adel opened the answer. Sephia faced him, exhaling her cigarette smoke.

“I don't remember anything at all. I'm confused by so many questions. Let alone this and that, who I am, I do not want” continued Adel.

“And Dino claiming to be your savior?” ask Sephia.

“And he got respect from your dady. Because he save you from gangster motto. Right?”

“Yes. Even though he just took me to the clinic. No body save me from the gangster”

“Your driver?” ask Sephia. Adel chuckles.

“She only told me we were scuttered. But he didn't say he was fighting” Adel replied.

“He even said, if he ran away ngumpet in place I nyungsep” continued Adel, while chuckling. Shephia also laughed. For a while, each of them seemed to enjoy what was in their hands.

“Seeing the motorcycleman was scared of being sacked by father, Dino acted pretentious. He admitted - I dare to mow the gangster alone” said Adel.

“That?” ask Sephia.

“Ya. I am not full. But as far as I'm concerned, Dino claims to have some of the most respected men in town. And he bawarin to take care of me, if I go alone” again

“Continue, accepted?”

“Yes, because the car he got Europe, the talk so convincing. Yes, in received”

“Great. He's your bodyguard, dong? Really be a hero, deh”

“Bapak equally mom, want gitu” replied Adel.

“But I'm not going anywhere. Don't play, just like myself I forgot. Yes I laughed dong, saw him come because he was called father. Yes I just what it is. This is me again sick what is punished? All sought after bodyguard”

“Ha ha ha ha. Failed to be superman dong?”

“Yes, abisnya, silly”

“Ha ha ha ha”

“But he played home a few times. Say nengokin”

“Emm. Okay. That's when you haven't dodged. Then, now, what do you want about that incident?” ask Sephia. Adel gasp.

After finishing the rest of the drink in his hands, Adel started telling stories. He told me the initial chronology before the incident. Even from the time he was in a place of worship.

He also told me about the interception of a bunch of motorized thugs. Adel asserted that the incident was not a legalization, but a planned crime. With the ultimate goal, separate himself from Budi.

“OK. I'll call you again” Sephia said, after Adel finished telling me. Adel nodded.

“We eat first, yuk!” bring Sephia.

“Still, Phia. But I promised to go to my sodara house. It's almost too late, Adel replied. Sepia smile.

“I control, yes?” tawar Sepia's.

“Kaya aja, escorted” replied Adel while chuckling.

“Emang you've never been afraid of anything, so? Moreover abis the incident was”

“My life has been something terrible. The important thing is that I do not walk to a place of worship, and I walk by calling His name. If I had to die in the middle of the road, I was martyred. And that, as good as death”

“Wow. Amazing” comments Shephia.

“I unplug, huh? thanks for the banquet” said Adel.

“Ngelek. Just a glass of water also”

“Ha ha ha ha”

Sephia leads Adel to the elevator door. And their meeting, ended when the elevator doors separated their eyes.
