The Hidden Love

God Merestui

The Sultan drove his car at high speed, his mind raging, his heart riled. He was so worried about his wife's current situation, the girl's voice sounded so frightened earlier on the phone.

What makes his wife so frightened is still a mystery as long as the Sultan has not come face to face with his heart.

The Sultan kept driving his car, like a professional racer he began to overtake every vehicle in front of him, while Adam and Raka cars followed no less quickly behind him.

Just like the Sultan, the faces of his two friends were filled with anxiety.

Sultan immediately pulled his car over as soon as he entered the courtyard of his house, various kinds of bad thoughts raged in his head as soon as he saw the state of his house which was like a ship breaking.

"Republic ... Honey!" call him up the stairs.

Sultan immediately opened the door of his room, he spread his gaze around the corner of the room to find the figure of the woman who was currently containing his flesh and blood.

The rush opened the bathroom door as soon as Hanum was not there. His heart seemed to stop beating when he saw the contents of his extremely messy room.

"Honey .. Where are you? don't scare me." The Sultan ran out of the room and went back down.

Where's everybody? why is there no one in this house, what has happened? oh my.

The Sultan began combing through each room to look for his wife's whereabouts, his heart pumping faster with the hunting of breath and sweat on his forehead.

The glimpses of bad things that happened to Hanum while they were still living in the apartment first, began to appear in his mind.

"Suckers! godammit! who would dare to do this to me?" he shouted when he saw the same situation as the living room and room, almost the entire room in the house was as messy.

His cry began to break as soon as he saw blood stains splattered on the floor, there were shards of glass everywhere. All the furniture that was there was destroyed, and just a glimpse of the state of his house Sultan could immediately understand if there had just been a commotion there.

Sultan lunglai's body slumped over the cold floor, at the touch of a thick red liquid that left a stain there.

He's back sobbing.

Oh my God ...

"God! The sultan."

Adam and Raka who had just arrived at the house were shocked by the unexpected reception by the two. A deserted security post, the situation inside the house that was so shattered was a mess, blood stains on the floor.

The two ran towards the spot where the Sultan was crying with his legs bent on the floor.

"What's going on?" adam asked as soon as he reached the central room, the place where the Sultan was crying.

"Dam, tell me. Where is Hanum? where is Dam! please tell me where he is?" The sultan grabbed Adam's shirt. He felt so frustrated that he could not think straight now.

The Sultan's cry still hadn't subsided, the man was still dissolved in feelings that he himself couldn't decipher. Where fear, anger, anxiety mixed into one, tears just fell, increasingly becoming - when he recalled the condition of Hanum who was weak and pregnant.

"I've reported to the police, they will be here soon" Raka said.

"How come there's no one in this house, Dam? where did they all go? what the hell's been going on? where's Hanum, where's my wife!" The sultan still sobs.

There was nothing Adam could do but hug the friend and the person he already thought of as his younger brother. Seeing the state of this house made him able to understand what was currently being felt by the Sultan. Surely the Sultan felt so frightened, he was also depressed when he did not get a single person in this house to just ask his wife whereabouts, how is her condition? and it all really drove the Sultan almost crazy.

A few minutes later, the sound of a car engine stopped in front of the terrace of the Sultan's house.

The three of them immediately ran towards the front, hoping that the arrival of someone would give a little idea of what had just happened there.

Several people in brown uniforms entered the Sultan's house, and what shocked the three men was the sight of a middle-aged man appearing behind the arriving police officers.

"Pak Dadang." with the Sultan's rigid steps approached the man, the man he had hired for almost a year as his personal driver to take his wife on a trip.

At the touch of the man's forehead wrapped in a bandage cloth, looking at the middle-aged man's lips that were broken and bleeding left a wound, he said, his arm that uses a hand brace added to the body of the man who is filled with bruises really makes the inner Sultan more injured.

"What happened sir?" lirih Sultan, too long crying makes his voice hoarse.

.

The Sultan sits in the middle, flanked by Adam and Raka while Mr. Dadang sits in front of the Sultan. There are approximately five police officers who are currently checking all rooms in the house.

The Sultan put his empty glass back on the table. After spending two glasses of water, his crying slightly subsided, his condition began to stabilize and now he was ready to listen to the story of Mr. Dadang.

"Just tell me, sir, what happened in this house while I was away?" the Sultan's voice was heard rising with trembling lips.

"I'll tell you everything, but please calm down ya." Mr. Dadang's wrinkled hands trembled, he felt his heart ache again when forced to remember the incident that had just happened in the house.

"Yes sir, let's say it!" Adam touched the Sultan's shoulder, he stared at the two eyeballs that were filled with the clear liquid.

"About six o'clock in the afternoon, Non Hanum had just come home from outside after meeting up with her friends. I saw two women who looked like men following him."

"Yes sir, that's the female bodyguard I hired to protect Hanum." The Sultan grabbed the old man's hand, as if giving him the strength to go back to telling stories.

"About seven o'clock, an hour since Miss's return, there were suddenly two cars forcing their way in. The two cars were about to break through the gate, the security guard had forbidden them to enter but suddenly came out a group of people from the car and blindly beat three security officers to the brim, sir."

"Then what happens next sir?" sultan asked impatiently.

"I who was sitting on the terrace decided to immediately go inside and tell the incident to Miss. At that time, Miss and Mr. Sepuh were having dinner. But I haven't been able to tell you about it, I immediately heard a piece of furniture that was destroyed by a group of people." the brown netra of the man whose hair had been partially bleached, glazed, glassy, signifies how his mood is being messed up right now.

"Do you know who that person is? where'd it come from? what was the purpose of them coming here in this way?" Adam looked straight at the old man before him.

"I don't know Mister, they look like thugs, their bodies are big and muscular, they look very scary." Mr. Dadang let out a long sigh before continuing his story. "After finishing destroying the living room, they shouted calling out the name Non Hanum."

"So rightly my guess is, the men came here not to steal but to bring Hanum," Adam unknowingly said this, again inviting the Sultan's cry.

"Continue your story, sir" Raka said.

"What Mr. Adam said was true, the bad guys came here to take Miss Hanum away. The old master tried to protect Miss but ill-fated, they also beat Mr. Sepuh until the old master fell unconscious."

"God ... Oh my God." it feels like the Sultan can not hear the story of Mr. Dadang anymore. Hearing his Grandfather being persecuted made him so devastated, the man covered his face with both palms.

"It's not just Mr. Sepuh and the security guards who were beaten, they also beat up everyone in this house." Mr. Dadang continued the story.

"What about Hanum sir? what about my wife?" The Sultan was about to get up from his seat but Adam pressed the Sultan's shoulder to return to his seat.

"Calm down!" exclaim Adam.

"Why can I calm down? you're telling me to stay calm under these circumstances? I don't even know how my wife is doing right now and you're telling me to stay calm? can you do that too you're in my position?" The Sultan raised the volume of his voice.

"At least let Mr. Dadang finish his story." Adam replied with a tone no less high.

"After that, we better listen back to what Mr. Dadang wants to tell us. You also want to know clearly what just happened right?" Raka tried to mediate, not wanting things to get heated up with the debate of the two people beside her.

Silent moment.

"They dragged Non Hanum and took him away with them, they kept beating the person who was trying to thwart their efforts to take Non Hanum away, no exception. The two female guards of Non Hanum were also beaten up, they had a fight but seeing the reality that there was, we were outnumbered by them, making the two guards seriously injured. The old master fainted, the two bodyguards, sir Parmin also did not escape their indiscriminate attack. The atmosphere in the dining room was completely chaotic sir, not only were we men beaten up. Those who seemed to have no heart until they could beat the women, until the peak of Non Hanum who could not bear to finally choose to go with them."

"How could something like this happen to my wife? she's a good woman why she's always suffering." The Sultan rubbed his wet face with tears. "Why did he give himself up willingly sir and just walk away with them?"

"Because Non Hanum felt that there might be no other way, sir, the main purpose of the evil people here is indeed to kidnap Non Hanum. That's why rather than more and more people being beaten and victimized, Miss chose to budge." mr. Dadang gripped tightly on the handle of his cup.

"Did those people also hurt Hanum Pak?" The sultan held his head up which had been continuously bowed.

"No sir, they have done absolutely no harm to Miss except drag Non Hanum's hand away."

"Then?"

"After successfully taking Non Hanum away, we helped each other. Among all of us it's beautiful that his injuries are not severe, he can still call an ambulance and take us to the hospital."

"So now Grandpa and the others are in the hospital?" ask Sultan.

"Sir, Mr. Sepuh is conscious and has suffered only a slight injury to his right shoulder which was hit."

"That old man, he's really strong. I was wrong because I had underestimated him, it could be that my Grandfather had not suffered severe injuries even though he had been beaten by thugs who certainly had the energy and also a hard blow." The sultan smiled bitterly.

"Master will be much more amazed if you see Mr. Sepuh had a fight with some of the thugs at once, I am sure that when the old Master was young he would have been a martial arts master, he said, proven by his way of fighting."pak Dadang also praised Burhan.

"My grandfather was the champion, if you hear the stories of the people, in Semarang there, no one dared to him. Everyone was submissive and amazed especially with the myriad of achievements he had obtained. He also contributed a lot to the progress of the city of Semarang, so it is not surprising that everyone so admires and respects him."

"I can also see him Sir," Mr. Dadang said.

"Then how are the others, sir?" ask the Sultan a little more calmly.

"We're all hurt, sir, but we've had treatment from doctors and now it's better."

"Yes already then, return to the hospital Pak, you also still need treatment" said Sultan, he was worried about the condition of Mr. Dadang which had not improved overall.

"Yes sir, I forced the doctor to let me go home for a while, I had to report this incident to the police station immediately and incidentally when I got there, Mr. Raka called the police officer who was on guard, so I go along."

"Yes, sir, thank you for fighting to save my wife until you hurt like this" said Sultan sincerely.

"There's no need to say so, sir, I'm gone first."

Just now Mr. Dadang stepped foot to leave the place but he was the middle-aged man turned back his body.

"Master, I almost forgot." stared at the Sultan for a moment. "Before leaving, Non Hanum told me."

"What did he say, sir?" The Sultan changed his position to stand.

"Non Hanum said, he's fine, telling you not to worry too much about his situation. He says he loves you very much, believes in the destiny God has laid out for you. God will surely guide you and bring you to discover where your wife is. There's one more thing you need to know."

"What's that?" ask Sultan.

"Non Hanum left with a smile, he said that Mister would definitely not be able to sleep because he kept thinking about his circumstances. And again Non Hanum said that, let God lead you, God will give way to you and reunite you."

Hearing the narration of Mr. Dadang made the Sultan a little relieved, he did not know where and how the woman is now but listened to the message conveyed by his wife, he did not know where and how the woman is now, give her strength to rise up immediately.

The Sultan did not have time to lament his sorrow any more, if his wife alone could freely accept every ordeal from the Almighty, why could she not do the same? it was not all this time that God had brought them together and in His wonderful way also united the two through the holy bond of marriage.

Hanum said so confidently, there was not the slightest doubt in her as she fully believed in the love from her husband for her. And God approved it. There can be no intervention of God if they are not destined to live together. The love that exists in the Sultan and Hanum is pure the taste that is entrusted by the Power to them, see how God maintains and maintains the love between the two, and how the Lord acts, they even had time to separate and walk on a winding life but in the end they remained united as well. And it will stay that way, forever, that's what Hanum believes.
