The Gem of the Heart of the Former Thug
opening a secret
After a long period of unconsciousness, Stevani began to move his head. Slowly he fixed the position of his neck. He also squinted his eyes. Because of the blinding light from the lights hanging right above his head. It took a few minutes for him to fully open his eyes. And how surprised he was, when he was about to move his hand, he found his body bound to a chair. Several times he attempted to break away from the bond, but to no avail.
“TOLOONG, TOLOOOONG”
Stevani screams for help. I hope someone hears her voice. But, only the reflection of his own voice reached his ears.
“ANYTHING, TOLOOOOONG”
He shouted increasingly louder, as his feet he stomped to the ground.
*PAIN*
*GREEEEEEET*
There was the sound of an iron door opening. And the iron door was pushed by someone. From the outside of this building, appeared thugs who gang up on Budi, earlier.
“TOLOOONG, TOLOOOONG”
The louder Stevani shouted for help, until his voice sounded hoarse. But no help came to him. There, even the thugs who approached. they surrounded him, with a scary look.
“Please, don't kill me!” stevani Pinta. Those people didn't answer.
“Kalo you guys need money, say! How many do you guys want? I, I, I can love you as much as you want. Please!” pinta Stevani again.
She was crying so much. His life was already on the edge. But no one answered his offer. They were still staring at Stevani with looks to finish off.
“BUDIIII”
He screamed again. But this time he gave me a name.
“I'm here, Van” replied Budi.
“Ha?”
Stevani was surprised to hear Budi's voice.Slowly some of the people circling Stevani shifted. Appears the figure of Budi who from earlier they covered.
“Bud? You, you?” asked Stevani stuttered.
“Yes, they have me” replied Budi.
“Ap what do you mean? Is this your reply? Reply to all the kindness I have given you?“ ask Stevani.
“Ya, worth it, right?”
“What?”
“Nease no more, Van! It's just us here” said Budi.
“Cuih” Stevani spit in Budi's face.
“GUA IS NOT AWAITING, BUD. SINCERE LOVE THAT CAVES LOVE THE SAME LO, LO REPLY THE SAME ABOMINATION OF THIS KIND. THE CAVE OF SINCERE LOVE LO, BUD. THE CAVE SINCERELY MENULIIN LO. THE TULUS CAVE NGERAWAT LO. THE BALESANYA? HERE'S THE BALES, HA?”
Budi did not answer. He asked something from his partner. An object, similar to a stethoscope, with a box in its frame. His colleagues also gave him a cable and a portable loudspeaker.
*add*...
*Soften, continue, continue*
Two different voices were heard at the beginning of the recording. He smiled when he heard the voice of the woman in the recording.
*Where to go*?
*Pake nanya, again. Piss! The cave is also deket*
His smile grew wider, and that smile he aimed at the woman who was stunned in front of him.
*Uh uh uh. Stevani Larasati most mon*\*\*\*
Hearing his full name is mentioned very clearly in the recording, inevitably makes Stevani gaped.
*Iyes, iyes, iyes*
*I m*\*\*\*\*\*\*
*Anj\*\*\*, eeemmhhh*
*You are amazing*
For a moment, the voice in the recording stopped. Not enough to gape, Stevani's eyes also began to show a reaction. If it was glaring and fiery, now puffy and teary.
*You believe that, right? I never broke a promise. Once your task is done, I keep my promise*
The tape gave the voice back. This time it was the woman's voice first. Make a tear in Stevani's eyes, instantly glide, without being held back again.
*yes. Cave seneng business model rich gini*
The distinctive voice of the person hostile to Budi re-echoed. Making Budi throb while nodding.
*That's it, wasn't it a recording I had with Dino at the hotel before the tragedy? but who's grumbling? Dino didn't bring a phone that night. But hape me? At that time it was the same taper Isma*.
For a few seconds, the tape made no sound.
*Oh, yes. That's Adel, how are you? You haven't told me the same thing I*
He's getting gripped again. The sound recording was too clear to avoid. He mentioned the name of someone on the tape.
*Loh, that's my question when he wants to go home from work? The afternoon before the tragedy. How could it be the same footage that I did at the same hotel Dino*?
Stevani shook his head, in a gesture to reject the accusations Budi made.
*He still forgot his memory*
Oh, my injections
“Ha?” that's all that came out of Stevani's mouth.
*That's it, that's when did I have that conversation with Dino? What injections*?
Budi played his eyebrows. Like I wanted to ask Stevani, so because of the injection I forgot my memory? For the third time, Stevani's tears rolled down her cheeks. He is unable to answer.
*Still with the initial scenario*?
*Yes.as you requested. Although, baby too. As smooth as it should be dragged*
“No, no. It's slander. THIS SITNAH”
Hearing the word of the scenario, Stevani immediately reacted violently. He felt that he remembered very well, if that sentence was his conversation with Farah, some time ago.
*Yes, take it, I'm bugilin. Gokil, really soft, Van*
“This cave discuss Isma, Bud. Isma”
Budi smiled cynically. He shook his head. He was not out of thought, already caught red-handed, Stevani still evaded by carrying the name of another person.
*yes, really. Then, your friend who became the ojol, how*?
*Great fire. Gua herself did not expect, she could act as good as that. The cave really is a hero, you know*
“Ha?”
In his heart Stevani admitted he asked about Dino's friend who became ojol. But Dino's answer wasn't like that.
*Review, if you have a bucket*!
*Amenured*
*Eh, Budi, how*?
*sama. He still forgot his memory*
Stevani nodded again. For him it was two different conversations of the day that were merged into one flow of conversation.
*Wuih, make a Budi too, still potent also it is a drug. You find him another job, huh! Let you all be heroes, make Budi*'s mother*
*That's how important it is, you have to be mastiin, Adel really forgot the same Budi! If he goes mad, you have to find a way to make him forget again! until I can get Budi*
*Originally payable, done, bos*
The tape ends there. No more suras coming out of Budi's cell phone voice challenger. There remained the sound of Stevani's cries roaring. Many times he said that he was slandered by someone.
“Why did you choose that road, Van?”
“Ha?”
A voice swept from behind. Although he could not see it, but Stevani knew, whose voice it was. He seemed unable to answer that simple question.
“The fool is, in the hands of God. We as humans, will not be able to mean God to follow our will”
*god, they still don't believe I was slandered. How could they believe the footage? this is not fair, this is not fair*
“Kalo aja, you are just my hairpins, just slap me, just nonjok me, when the seizure of Budi mas. With pleasure, I will forgive you. Because you are a woman, I am a woman too. I know what it's like to fall in love with a man. Competition is reasonable, as long as the yellow janur has not curved. But the iron pipe, the cleaver, the sword, never crossed my mind at all, Van”
“I LOVE ALIKE, DEL. I LOVE VERY MUCH THE SAME. YOU DON'T KNOW, HOW JEALOUS I SEE HIM FRIENDLY WITH YOU IN FRONT OF MY EYES”
“Oh, yes. I know what it feels like” cut Adel. Stevani.
“I also once loved someone, but he even loved each other. But I didn't think I'd do that rich stupid thing. My faith is broken, but I still want God. God who rules everything. Why not just flirt with God? that's what I'm doing. And in the end, she once fell into my arms”
“BUT THE CAVE NEVER TELLS PEOPLE TO MAKE GOOD LUCK. THE BEGO CAVE, THE PEOPLE WHO LOVE CAVES, HA?”
“But the sound came from your room, Van. The recording files are also original from the tool. Know what a stethoscope does, right?” ask Adel.
“Ha?”
“Budi's brother who gripped it”
“Princess?”
“Yes. A week ago he played to his guy's house, zulfikar muhammad”
Stevani's eyes were wide open to hear the name called. He seems to know that name.
“Yes, you must know him. Next to the room, same as you"
“He fiddled with this prototype tool. He stuck it on the wall that misahin Zulfikar room with your room, and the result, as you already denger”
“No, no. The cave never brought Dino to the cave contract. The cave never brought dino to the cave contract. Cuman Budi who once took the cave there. Cuman Budi who knows gua” contract
“I feel sorry for you, Van. You are beautiful. Yeah, prettier than me. I admit it”
“MEAN LO WHAT? DO YOU BELIEVE THAT SAME SLANDER? DO YOU BELIEVE THAT TAPE? IF THE MEMORY IS ALREADY FILLED WITH RECORDINGS, WILL YOU BELIEVE IT SO?”
“Try us proofin” replied Adel.
Take a step closer to Sevani. He showed all sides of it, to show that it had never been opened.
One by one the closing bolts he opened. Look at the electronic components inside. It also looks like a memory card slot in the form of micro sd.
Budipun took the memory card under Stevani's supervision. Without putting the lid back on, he turned on the stethoscope.
CHECK CHECK, HELLO. CHECK, HELLO HELLO HELLO
Budi told his partner to make a sound in front of the membrane lined under the electronic box. And the voice that is still connected, issued a voice like that spoken by Budi's colleague.
Stevani. He didn't think it would really work. But he still shook his head, a sign he didn't believe the tape.
“I tested the tape in a digital laboratory in Jogja. I have his certificate real for the tape, not the edit. It's original one whole unit that hasn't undergone any modification or editing”
“TERUS, YOU WANT WHAT, HA? WHAT DO YOU WANT, ADEL? YOU WANT TO GO TO THE CAVE? DO YOU WANT TO KNOW WHAT HAS NEVER BEEN A LAUKIN CAVE? YES?”
“I just want to say thank you” replied Adel. The sentence stopped for a moment.
“Kalo aja, you are more patient. Maybe I will lose Budi” mas continued Adel.
Stevani was stunned to hear that last sentence. He looked towards Budi. And Budi nodded at him. For a few moments, the atmosphere became quiet.
“See you in another life” said Adel.
“Loh, loh, loh?” Stevani was puzzled to see everyone wearing gas masks. Including Budi.
*Bessss*
A small tube was thrown through the bottom of his chair. Makes Stevani's eyes bulge. From the tube, a large amount of white gas appeared.
“Loh, Bud?” ask Stevani.
“Bud, Bud, please, Bud! please, Bud!” pinta Stevani pleads. But Budi did not budge at all.
“BUDIIIII”
