Noura got up towards the outside of the hut. Outside the sky it looks dark. A strong morning breeze replaced with a drizzling gurgle. Sudarman seems to be getting ready.
"Be careful Darman!" Noura. Sudarman was full of joy. Like a flower garden full of blooming flowers, the charm of Sudarman that morning was so thrilling.
"Yes, Miss. Miss be careful too. Don't let them find Miss. I'll be back soon." replied Sudarman. Suddenly their eyes met each other. How valiant Sudarman was that morning, and how eager Noura was to throw himself into the arms of the man. A man who has dedicated his life to his family and always tries to protect it.
"Darman....!" call Noura.
"Yes, Miss..."
"thank you. I don't know how else to thank you. You always help my family."
"It's my duty to look after and protect the family, Miss. I owe a lot of kindness to Miss's family," Sudarman turned his gaze as fast as lightning. His heart trembled violently as he looked at Noura that morning. His heart cannot lie. The beauty of Noura Van Kemmers has disturbed her feelings.
...****************...
Sudarman accelerated his pace. Amidst the cold air and drizzle of the morning, he continued walking. Steadily, he entered the police station. To a Dutch police inspector, he recounted everything from Johans Alois' terror attack on his employer to the kidnapping of the Van Kemmers family. Sudarman begged the police inspector to act quickly.
The police inspector was surprised and finally nodded his head. The case that befell a white citizen (a Dutch Totok) should not be underestimated. At that time, the legal position was more in favor of Dutch citizens who were considered first-class citizens.
After leaving the police station, Sudarman plans to stop for a while to the Van Kemmers family home. But cut off his intentions. He looked and watched from outside the gate.
From the outside, the house looks empty. But the voice of mockery, and buzz was heard clearly from the side of the house. From the curtain, Sudarman saw clearly, Johans Alois threw a stack of papers on the floor.
His heart is beating fast. Apparently, Johans Alois was still lurking. Where are Nimah and Sadeli? what was Johans Alois doing in that house? he must be looking for the plantation's land letter.
I want him to come into the house. But it's not possible. Johans Alois was too dangerous to face alone. He must have brought weapons, and was certainly accompanied by the village champions who became his Centeng-forten.
Sodikin did not act. He's just watching. Concerns soon ambushed. The situation is not safe. He knew that Sudarman was a personal worker and bodyguard of Mr. Adrianus Van Kemmers. While escorting Mr. Johans Alois to a rubber plantation in Tjibinung, he had seen several times the young native who always accompanied his employer. Even when the Master was in dispute with Johans Alois, this native youth was preparing to put on a body.
It's a danger, he murmured. The young native saw clearly from a distance what Johans Alois was doing in his employer's study. And as an assistant, he must have been suspicious. How could his master's house be freely entered by his enemy. And where did the Master go? there must be something strange for the native youth. Sodikin seems to be not just an ordinary Centeng who only rely on muscles. But he also has the ability to analyze.
Can't be allowed. He had to immediately report to Johans Alois about this. The indigenous youth could immediately report the irregularities he saw on the authorities. Moreover, he would definitely be very suspicious, why did the Boss suddenly disappear all of a sudden. A very unusual thing. What's more almost every day he always accompanies the Master wherever he goes.
Sodikin's analysis makes a lot of sense. He rushed into the house and discussed his findings with Johans Alois.
"Mr Johans, we are in danger" Sodikin said calmly in a hasty breath.
"The man and personal bodyguard of Mr. Adrianus Van Kemmers was in front of the house and he saw what you were doing here. It's a danger, sir. He would definitely be suspicious, moreover his employer and family disappeared suddenly. He will definitely report to the authorities. Moreover, he had several times seen Mr. quarrel with Mr. Adrianus in the rubber plantation," said Sodikin.
Johans Alois looked at it for a moment. His face suddenly turned pale. Fear and anxiety approached. No. gabe......No. gabe. How could all that happen. How could Adrian's men suspect this. But it makes a lot of sense. However, Adrianus Van Kemmers' men will definitely find out the whereabouts of the Master who suddenly disappeared and will definitely report to the police. Moreover, he had already seen from a distance what Johans Alois was doing in this house. True, it is true what Sodikin said.
Johans Alois once again condemned his folly. And now what should he do? should he get rid of Adrianus Van Kemmers' men too? the shadow about the prison cell again filled his mind. No. gabe.....I don't want to go to jail anymore. These plans have not been realized. I must realize the target of my plan in the near future, Johans Alois said loudly in his heart.
"Remove, he. But not by violence. We make him look like an accident or what?" johans asked a centeng.
"Give it to me, sir. I will clean it my way. But I ask you to give me more. Moreover, this is not an easy job," said Sodikin. With a pongah face, Sodikin seemed to want to show his prowess up front to the other four Centengs.
"You don't have to worry. I'll definitely give you more, as long as you're able to do your job well."
Seriate.
