THERE'S ALWAYS A LEANING PLACE
Where is Azka?
"I am amazed by Nak Farhan. A successful young entrepreneur, humble, helpful, far from vindictive. It's been treated like that by my family-in-law, it's still good to them. Thank you, Son. I represent their families apologizing for the crimes that have been committed and thanking Nak Farhan and his wife for their kindness. Ah, I'm confused what else to say."
Farhan and Via glanced at each other at a glance. They look clumsy praised by Mr. David.
Rio was just smiling watching the married couple who had become a helper god to him as well as his adoptive family.
"Ouch, Om. If only Om had known Via, he would have been more terrible. A woman but her football is not inferior to her husband. Ah, if I'm talking about it, you might get angry Via nih," Rio's inner.
"Om was too complimentary. Everything is arranged by the Almighty, Om. We are just doing what has been outlined." Farhan tried to give.
David laughed a little. He looked at Farhan in admiration.
"Actually Om was fed up with the behavior of Danu and his wife. If I don't remember them being my wife's brothers, I've kicked them out" complained Mr. David.
Rio looked curious.
"How did they behave here?" ask Rio.
David was silent for a moment. He seems to be managing his emotions.
"They came here in a bad state, having nothing. Ticket from Jogja to here only I bought it. So, their daily expenses are my responsibility. Even for the treatment of Kak Danu at that time. Once a week Brother Danu controls the neurologist."
"Means pretty much the need that Om bears?" Rio interrupted.
"Indeed yes. But I was sincere. They're my wife's brothers, they're my family too. But, my sincerity wears off along with their annoying attitude."
"I'm sorry, what do you mean by David?" Rio interrupted again.
"I mean, they're here hitchhiking. Their attitude should be guarded. My wife and I don't need their return. But, you should still know yourself. They're not. Their wives and children acted like employers. They often snag our ART. Their pride doesn't fade."
Via, Farhan, also Rio just nodded his head. In their hearts they regretted the attitude of Danu and his wife.
"So, Om was also upset with Lia. Hownot? She's a grown girl. But his behavior is far from proper. He often misses his purpose. If Om asks, the answer is not pleasant. More often answered in a sharp tone. For months like that, my patience finally ran out. About a year ago, I did not want to bring Brother Danu for treatment. I also stopped Lia's pocket money. Of course they protest. Wife too. But my intentions are round. I want to teach them a lesson. Turns out I was wrong. They haven't changed. In fact, Lia's becoming more and more."
"Lia is becoming? What do you mean by Om?" ask Rio.
"He rarely came home. When I came home to Lia, I smelled alcohol. Anyway very wild. The height of my irritation to him when he was caught being one of the masterminds of the murder."
Mr. David paused his story. He took a drink and sipped the tea which began to cool.
"I deliberately didn't hire a lawyer to defend Lia. I think he was wrong and deserves to be punished. Besides, I'm ashamed too. The neighbors also look cynical when they cross paths with me. Herannya, my brother-in-law also does not care about his son in prison. He didn't want to look at it even once. Hence, I feel sorry to see Lia earlier. Ah, he's changed apparently."
Via's chest feels a bit claustrophobic. He remembers the fate of his schoolmate.
"May I know how Lia's story can change?" asked Mr. David while looking at Farhan and Via.
Farhan glanced at his wife. It seems that Via is not paying much attention to the words of Mr. David.
"Some time ago we visited the residence of Om Candra who was holding a graduation ceremony for her son. We got word that Lia was hospitalized for suicide. We took the initiative to visit him. At that time Lia was very bad. He was depressed because he lived in prison, had no friends, and he never visited. He had refused our presence. Thank God, my wife's words little by little can enter his heart. He began to realize that his suicide was ridiculous. He also studied religion. Before we got home, we went back to see him. We gave her a face" Farhan said.
Mr. David was disturbing. His admiration for Farhan increased.
"Dek Via asks Om Candra to find a spiritual companion for Lia. In addition to restoring the psychological condition of Lia who is depressed because of living in prison, also teach Lia to teach Lia. Alhamdulillah, it is said that Lia is now diligent in prayer, also began to be able to teach," continued Farhan.
"Yes, yeah. I also saw that Lia's appearance and manner of speaking on the tape was able to judge that the boy had changed." David is smiling.
"Yes, Om. I was also surprised. Even though Via had told me about Lia's change, I still didn't expect it to be that drastic. I feel sorry to see it" said Rio.
David looked at Rio. He looked at the young man.
"Thankfully you are not affected by Kak Danu's upbringing," said Mr. David.
Rio. His heart was sad to remember him and his foster family.
"O yes, this morning how can you be allowed in? Isn't it not the bezuk clock?" Mr. David was astonished.
"Yes, Om. It was because of lawyer Om Candra who took care of the special licensing for us. Om Candra is also looking for a spiritual companion for Lia" Farhan explained.
"May you know your full name?"
"Candra Wijaya, Om," replied Via.
David was surprised. He did not think he was dealing with one of the descendants of Vijaya.
"Well, it turns out you're from a family of great entrepreneurs. It's appropriate that young people already hold large companies" said Mr. David.
Via and Farhan smiled shyly. They throw glances at each other.
"Om, we think our visit was enough. We will leave because later we will fly back to Jogja," said Rio.
"Oh yeah. All right then. Careful, yes! Next time, play here" said Mr. David kindly.
"O yes, please announce mamah and papah. Say my apology," Rio said again.
"Yes, yeah. May they open their hearts so as not to be overcome with prolonged vengeance. I'll tell you later" replied Mr. David.
"Thank you, Om."
They're out of the big house, Mr. David. As he was about to get in the car, Farhan remembered something.
"Where is Azka? God, why don't you remember that? Since when is Azka not with us?" pekik Farhan's.
Via flabbergasted. He also remembered that Azka was not with them.
"Since we've been here, it feels like Azka isn't with us" Rio muttered.
Farhan turned to Rio. He stared intently at Azka's friend.
"Let's remember when he was last with us!" farhan's orders.
They're speechless. Their minds remembered since they had departed from Mr. Candra's house.
"When we went in, he was still with us. We go in to meet Lia, she sits near Mas Farhan, ", said Via slowly.
"Ah, yes, I remember! She bailed to the toilet before Rio recorded Lia delivering a message!" exclaim Farhan.
"We didn't come out with Azka" Rio said.
"Yes, get in the car! We'll call him on his way!" farhan's orders.
They rushed into the car. Soon the car began to drive away from Mr. David's house.
Farhan took the device out of his pants pocket. He looked for Azka's contact, then touched the dial button.
It had been a while that Farhan had still not spoken. Via became agitated.
"Not connected?" ask Via worriedly.
Farhan. He also looks worried.
"Via contact Om Candra only," said Via.
Via immediately retrieved his device from the bag. He called his om.
