The Pawned Marriage

The Pawned Marriage
Humbly



In the morning, when Dim, Aisya, and Abidzar arrive at the school, Nafisa slides with Husin and Juned to Dino's office.


Dian went to the hospital to monitor the condition of tourists whose groups were affected by stomach problems.


Mika is still tracking the traces of the account hackers.


In front of the office, Dino's aide had welcomed him, allowing the woman who was wearing a dark blue dress with a little application of ikat weaving combined with a matching veil.


As soon as the door of the study room was opened by his secretary, Dino welcomed with a sumringah.


His eyes sparkled and lips flashed the best smile.


“Assalamualaykum, Bu Nafisa.”


“Waalaykumussalam,” Reply Nafisa while cupping hands.


Dino invited me to sit down. Her net is admiring the beauty of Nafisa.


“So what is Mr Zayn?”


“I like this. I like women who are straight to the point and not convoluted. Miss Nafisa I see always know what you want.”


“Double once, Sir.“ Nafisa does not want to talk much, responding politely, kindly, but as necessary.


“Oh even so I am convoluted, yes?”


Not responding to Nafisa smiling while nodding at a glance.


“Sorry but this is the care of Mom's husband. Want to not want me to know the condition of the marriage of Mother and Mr. Zayn.”


Dino thrusting a chocolate map.


Nafisa could guess the contents.


“Bismillaah ..” He said then pulled out a piece of paper with a Letter of Request for Divorce with Zayn's signature there.


“Hopefully this is the best, considering Mr. Zayn's case is very heavy. Bribing a high-ranking official. He will be long in jail.”


Dino looked at Nafisa's face to find a grate of sadness there.


Meanwhile the observant Netra Nafisa caught a glimpse of blood spots.


His hands trembled, the memory of the torture in prison re-emerged.


“Bu Nafisa, I'm sorry. If you need help for divorce management or for example need a friend to vent, I am ready.”


Breath sounds heavy.


“If Mr. Dino wants to help, please meet me with Mas Zayn. I ... I was totally fooled. Just once I want to curse in front of his face.” Nafisa's voice sounded furious. She hopes her acting is very convincing.


Although tightness in the chest thought about what torture Zayn experienced until there were blood spots on the letter paper.


“Later I talk to those authorized.”


The door of the room opens. Two little-haired men walked into the room.


“Good morning Mr. Dino. We were ordered from the restaurant to pick up Ms. Nafisa related to food poisoning cases that occurred in some guests of Beach Dish.”


With all her efforts, Nafisa tried to show a panicked face. He's been calculating this condition since last night.


It's difficult, because she's an honest woman who's not good at role-playing.


“You mean?”


“Follow first to the office, we explain there.”


Husin and Juned entered the room.


“You both do not need to interfere, this is police business,” stressed one of the officers.


Quietly, Juned replied, “Siap. We will only escort Bu Nafisa, the whole process we leave to law enforcement.”


Nafisa closed her eyes. His forehead wrinkled.


Once again the officer presses him, “Bu Nafisa, if you do not want ..”


“Shortly, you don't be rude. Did you not see that Bu Nafisa was overcoming her shock?” Reply Dino with a rather loud tone.


Seemed eager to be seen defending and protecting the woman who has captivated her heart


Nafisa took a deep breath, then said to the officer while standing up.


“Good, Sir. I'll come along. Mr. Dino, I'm sorry I'm so ashamed that this all happened in front of you. Today is the worst day of my life.”


“Mother just relax. I will keep this case under control.”


They also came out of Dino's room. Nafisa is not allowed to ride in a private car.


“Bismillaah ..” Bisik Nafisa tries to strengthen the heart and be calm.


Arriving at the office, Nafisa is taken to the interrogation room. A flash of his shadow used to be in the midfielder like a patient back dancing in his mind.


Again he wet his lips with strengthening words of dhikr.


Two female officers were waiting for him.


“Please sit.”


One of them read the reports received from ten whistleblowers who are now hospitalized.


Nafisa argued, “They came together, is it impossible before or after culinary elsewhere?


“We are widening the research, but Mother's place is considered the origin of the incident.”


“Kok can do that? Is this the result of a hospital lab stating my food is toxic?”


“Not, I'm patient first dong don't make it hard.”


“I just asked.”


The female officer kicked the table.


“You don't mess around. I know you're an ex-con, right?”


“I was found not guilty.”


“But the person who deliberately poisoned your in-laws has never been reported. Where do we know that it is the Malik family wits to set you free.”


“We are not talking about the case,” stressed Nafisa.


“But it could be because from our records, you are familiar with the types of toxins.”


Nafisa did not answer.


He said inwardly, “Sabar Nafisa, we follow their game first.”


“We will process the crime scene. Forensic team is ready.”


“Good.”


Nafisa had already ordered Husin and Juned's men to guard the Beach Dish. And there's no sign of Dino's men there. Sulis included.


Arriving at the site, the forensic team immediately spread.


They find broken meat in the spare fridge and call Nafisa to make her a suspect.


Suddenly from the direction of the house appeared Lawyer Ali Citizen with a group of journalists who had been prepared since morning.


Nafisa's been planning this.


“Friends of Reporters, this morning a report broke into the police saying that the Beach Dish Dinner House had caused ten of its visitors poisoning. They are from the same group,” explained Pak Ali Citizens who stood beside Nafisa.


“Sorry we are still in the process of a thorough investigation,” interrupted the forensic officer.


The camera has highlighted Nafisa and Lawyer Ali Citizens so that law enforcement must act cautiously.


“Company your tasks. We are not in the way,” stressed the senior lawyer again.


“But ..” The officer seems to object. But the senior lawyer gave no chance.


“We have the right to submit evidence. This happened last night. We will also submit a copy of CCTV that was installed by Bu Nafisa in a hidden area that even employees do not know.”


Police interrupts, “In the office only. Come with us.”


Not wanting to lose a moment, Lawyer Ali Residents immediately set a recording of last night's activities. Husin and Juned's men had already prepared the television beforehand.


Footage from the angle Nafisa took showing Sulis giving the command.


Also footage from Dian's hape shows people releasing mice and putting some boxes of rotten meat in the refrigerator.


Deliberately not showing Dino's involvement because Nafisa wants to open a trump card for the cunning man at the right time.


“Pak, I ask Bu Nafisa to come to the office immediately.” The officer interrupted firmly.


“Okay, we will also hand over CCTV footage which will certainly be more complete,” said Ali Residents.


“Then what about the woman in the video?” Ask a reporter urging the continuation of the case.


“We will investigate further,” reply officer.


Lawyer Ali Residents back to voice, “Please the willingness of friends of journalists to guard the slander case that befell Ms. Nafisa. We already have proof of the purchase of rotten meat. We have to unload the frying motif of good name inj.”


The officer no longer spoke but immediately told Nafisa to come back to the police station.


***


In his office Dino went berserk.


“Job! All those girls are assholes! What's so hard about being quiet and being my wife? Goddamn bum! Watch out for you, Nafisa, I will still have you!”


***


The two female officers who processed Nafisa's case stared the masygul at the evidence before them.


Lawyer Ali Citizen explained arguments that could no longer be refuted.


The butcher who is the owner of the slaughterhouse and also a distant cousin of Sulis has been driven to the office when trying to escape from his home.


The pursuit of Sulis was immediately carried out.


However, the name Dino is still not.


“Mother, Mother asked me to be a good person. I think being a good person is about being quiet and giving up. But it turned out wrong. Silence will make a bad person think he has a chance to continue to do evil. Hopefully Nafi can dismantle the guise of Mr. Dino,” whispered Nafisa in heart.


With all the alibis and evidence, Nafisa is released. The pursuit of Sulis is still being carried out.


Police immediately updated reporters because the case went viral. They do not want to lose their image.


Before leaving the police station, Lawyer Ali Residents whispered to the highest leadership there, “If you want an unfurnished investigation, replace the two officers who are now handling the case.”


“You don't mess around. This could be an accusation of intention to tarnish the good name of the apparatus.”


“I follow your career travel track. A young cop who is known to be clean and nurturing. Your career skyrocketed because of pure achievement. I beg you, with all due respect, follow my word and secretly conduct an examination of the two people. It would be better if their guise is dismantled by internal rather than from external.”


The policeman named Asdawi was seen weighing.


“I'll talk again with you.”


Ali Residents' men reported the two coming out of Asdawi's room with pale faces.


Nafisa's case is now handled directly by the team formed by Asdawi, consisting of his confidants.


In the car, Nafisa and Ali Residents spoke, “I did not expect Bu Nafisa to have a brilliant brain set the scenario with jeli.”


“I don't want to be bullied again, sir. Now there are two things that we must wait for, first, the confession of the victim who is being sought by Dian, and news from Mika related to the pursuit of bank employees who hacked my husband's account to make a transfer.”


Nafisa threw a glance out the car window.


The gap is shaking, the phone from Husin.


“Siang, Mom, we would like to report that restaurant guests from Jakarta and Malaysia are ready to testify that they are fine after from lunch at resto.”


“Alhamdulillah, I'm there now.”


Nafisa and Lawyer Ali Residents rush to a place called by Husin.


Hopefully, Nafisa sent a message to Dian:


Any developments?


Shortly into the video from Dian. A mother tearfully expressed regret for helping to blaspheme. But so far he has only said he was contacted by Sulis and has not mentioned Dino's name.


The smile of Nafisa was on his lips.


“You're running out of time soon, Mr. Dino, soon.”


***


Love touched the face of Maryam who slept soundly next to her. It's been a few days that Maryam's condition is not good because she's worried about Zayn. The family doctor gave her a sedative.


“Those good sleepers, don't yell. Kangen Papa, huh? Love is also kangen. We pray that Papa may return home,” whispered tender Love.


Maryam and Nafisa ask that no one explain to Cinta about her father's condition. Including Dimiko, Aisya, and Abidzar.


They consider the condition of the heart of Love that has congenital abnormalities since birth. Without pressure, sometimes if Love is too emotional she has difficulty breathing.


Cinta only knows her father is having problems in Surabaya.


After the nap failed,


slowly Love got off the bed, opened the door and walked into her own room.


No need to look, Love knows where the room is and counts the steps to it.


Dimiko, Mba Cha, and Abidzar haven't returned to school. While Helmy was sleeping with Lastri.


Love sits in front of the wide open window of the room. He went back and forth to the study table wanting to do a task, but his heart was not calm.


The girl did not go to public school. Zayn provides a special system that allows Cinta to learn from domestic and overseas teachers online if on the go.


Gawai used also supports the needs of Love, making it comfortable to learn.


He listened to his teacher's instructions but only for a moment, he closed the laptop. He sat down in front of the window, feeling the wind coming down on his face.


He soon heard someone's footsteps.


“Oom Badru?” Love called the bodyguard who used to escort her.


“Iya this is Oom Badru, Papa called earlier he said we were told to go to the airport to pick up Papa.”


“Aalhamdulillah's. Love change clothes and say Bude Lastri first. Where's Faisal?”


“Oom Faisal again ready for car. Don't change clothes, you have to hurry. Here jump from the window.


Love hesitates but the desire to meet his father is greater.


Finally Love complies when Oom Badru takes her.


“Oom, how do we even go out through the door to the beach?” Love hears the friction of shoes and sand from the man who carries them.


“The car is already next to the villa.”


Love feels something strange.


“Oom I want to wake up first. Get off me.”


“No, Love, Papa is waiting.”


Love thrashed but its strength was not comparable to the strength of Badru who was a big high-bodied.


The little boy struggled even more when he heard the sound of a roaring vehicle not far from it was not what he used to hear from all of Zayn's cars.


Badru's hand smothers the Love that is now kicking. With one move he put Love in the car.


The boy was crying. But his breathing ran out and he finally sat still with a pale face. His last attempt was to stand facing the back window, but Badru managed to get him to sit down.


Badru orders Faisal to drive the vehicle.


“Dru, seriously this? Don't, we go back,” Faisal said after seeing the powerless Love.


“Lu want to follow me so that the rich cepet continue to sleep with Inten or want forever to be jongos?”


“Gue does not have the heart, same as Non Cinta.”


“Lu focus on driving. I turned off all the CCTV in the villa. The other guards also turned it away. We'll get caught, but if we go according to plan, Mr. Dino will help us escape.”


Faisal did not make a sound, there was an inner contradiction that made him doubtful. Between Inten's insistence, his lover, to immediately propose or turn against Badru and save Love.


“Lu come with me. We've been together a long time, right? Gini-gini work just moved the employer so good guy again.”


Once again Faisal looked at the pale face that was rolled up in the back seat. The eyes of Love are closed.


Badru and Faisal take a road that will not cross paths with the entourage of Dimiko, Abidzar, and Aisya who at the last hour return from school. The three children also received an escort.


But that afternoon, Dimiko and his siblings came home early because there was a spraying schedule at school.


Dimiko had seen a black car driving from the beach parking lot. What makes him alert is from the back window he sees a hand with a blue bracelet that Love always wears.


As soon as the car gets inside the villa, Dim runs in search of Love. Calling him while shouting until there is a commotion.


“Love kidnapped! I'm sure it must have been his hand that I saw from the black car window.”


“Badru and Faisal don't look anywhere,” Excited Lastri.


Maryam who woke up from the commotion immediately sat down.


“Bring the kids to the room. I will tell Mika,” he said weakly.


Lastri obeyed Maryam's orders. The woman's hands were trembling.


“You guys were here first. Bude Lastri made milk for Mas Helmy.”


Dim, Abidzar, and Aisya nodded.


As soon as the door is closed. The three children moved straight towards the window.


“Save Love. Agree?” Tanya Dimiko leads.


“Ready, Boss!” Abidzar and Aisha.


“We won't be able to grab a bike because it's in the garage. There's a house of my class Deket here. He's got some bikes. We borrow,” said Abidzar.


Aisya connect, “I can ask Ning Ayu who lives at the end of this road. She's a patient of Mother.”


The three then peeked into the window that led forward. The guards are coordinating.


In the living room, Maryam called Mika in a panicked tone. There was only one person on duty behind the villa.


“Now gaes. We're out on the side road. Just one behind,” whispered Aisya.


The three climbed up the window, then onto a tree that was between the window and the parapet, crawled the branches and then moved on to the tree branch that grew outside.


As children grow up in the village, climbing trees is common. Not until five minutes, the three had run to a friend's house borrowing a bicycle and following the road to the border area.


At the end of the road, Aisya asked her mother's friend who had indeed seen the black car driving at high speed.


“Do you better wait for the villa?”


“My brother is hanging, Ning, later he fainted.”


Abidzar borrowed Ning Ayu's hape to see the maps.


“My guess, Love will be taken to the suburbs. He was not taken to the next town. But it's twenty kilos from here. It's probably dark we just got there.”


“Shortly. I pinjem omprengan Bapak. You ride your bike to the tub, no anterno.”


Not wasting time the three immediately climbed up on the open tub owned by his father Ning Ayu then with an anxious face staring into the road that was passed by Love.


“You must be strong, Love,” murmured Dim.


“We'll save him, Dim. Pray,” said Abidzar and Aisya with a serious face.


“In shaa Allah.”


***


That same afternoon, Dino watched the clarification from


police officers on television. So far Sulis is still the main suspect because he is the main accomplice used by Dino to carry out his plan.


Hape it vibrates, “Wait for me, silent mode until tomorrow morning.”


***


Nafisa hugged Dian in relief. All the burdens that have been felt since last night are gone.


”Leave the crackle. Now we go to her office.”


Nafisa was holding Dian towards the car when Juned and Husin came with panicked faces.


Stuttering, Nafisa imagined the worst possibility.


”Dim kidnapped?”


”Non Love, but Mas Dim, Mas Abidzar, and Mba Cha chase the kidnapper on his friend's bike.”


Nafisa and Dian's heart was like being dislodged that second as well.


”We postpone Dino's business first, now heading for the villa. Have the police been notified?”


”Pak Asdawi already leads to villa.”


Nafisa and Dian were holding hands all the way. Occasionally rubbing melted tears.


”Mas Mika can not be contacted,” said Dian weak.


Nafisa bit her lips, her eyes closed.


“Mas Dim, you should be fine.”
