" Estu, if I may. I want to borrow a house for a few days??" I said softly to her who looked flat towards me.
" is there a house that contracted Kha??" answer her. I just nodded small.
" Aren't you still family here??" said
I looked at her fixedly as she smiled a little.
" Why don't you know about my family??" answer me while breathing.
" Where do I know now, it might have improved??" answer him indifferently.I just kept quiet.
" Why do you want to borrow a house. Don't you have to work Monday??" ask her.
" I have a call from SEJARI, make a witness my friend?? answer me.
" Who, is he corrupt??" Ask her, I just kept quiet.
" Rudi??" answer me.
" Oohh, is Rudy your boyfriend's brother??" she said it sounded cynical.I just looked at her.
" It's appropriate, the case of corruption. his style here and there is no excuse??" he said he was denouncing.
" Maybe he's corrupt, or maybe he's committed an act that others think is wrong.!?"
" But we have no right to judge Estu??" I said.
He seemed to be smiling cynically.
" Of course you defend, your friend is him... Is her hobby the same again??" his satire.
" don't-don't you also corrupt like him??!" said spicy.
"Don't you during this time, your child loves money from corruption?!" he said in a quipped tone as well as glanced a little at me.
" Athaghfirullah haladzim, Estu. How can you be like me.?"
" i know you've been wrong, but I can't feed my son money from corruption??" I said defend myself.
he just silently looked at me with a face that still looked cynical.
******
" Yes, if he still works in Jakarta, he must be a suspect!?" said Mr. a little growled.
" Lah the main suspect, that's his familiar friend.play buddy huh!?"
" did it have to be the same!?" said father judging.
" It's a good thing you're not my man, you've moved away from here??"
" if not, am I not ashamed!?" said again.
I just quietly listened to him tell me about the case that befell Rudi.
You yourself know the story from his co-workers who are still in the office, where Sakha once served.
" just life is hard, wong he eats the results of corruption!?" he said he sounded mocking.
" my granddaughter don't eat money from him, I can still support your two children without his help.!?"
" from next month, don't take any more money from her huh.!" father says.
back I just kept quiet.
*****
" I've used that money before, but how many??" said Rudi slightly slowly speaking to me after the trial earlier.
" Is that beer money??" he said while looking around.
I look at him sharply.
" Your currency, beer money!?" I said a little upset.
He looks a little cornered.
" I know I'm wrong Kha??!"
" But his accusations are overstating, right??"
" You can read in this file, the charges against me.?"
" Sister Ignatius Rudianto et al Intentionally Plan and Darken Money belonging to the state.and the state at a disadvantage sebesa 7,3M. !!" he said as he pointed the charge file at me
" Rud, I am indeed your friend.but sorry, I cannot defend you in this matter.!?"
My light, and he just nodded.
" I know, but at least you can be a witness so that I'm not as bad as the one being accused, right!?"
" You mean what Rud??!" ask me wonder.
" You know, all of this is already planned to trap someone higher up above us who is immune.!?"
" I'm a victim, how much money am I eating. Maybe not more than 300 million??!" he said defend himself.
" Your eyes, only 300 million!! hehhh it's state money, people's money?!" I said I was getting annoyed at him.
" I'm sorry, I know I'm wrong, but I can replace it if it's just that. Isn't it the most important My reputation Kha??" said.
" Why are you thinking about Rud's Reputation... Where did you go yesterday!?" I said a little snapping.
He just kept quiet.
" Anyways, I can't help you Rud, I'm just saying what I know in my capacity??" I said firmly.
" yeah I know that, but believe me. I ask you as a witness to pull everything up to the root of the root.??"
" It's still not the money I brought that one suitcase with me."
Said.
" It's a tribute, make someone. It's my job to wash it before he receives it!!"
" Where can I shut up Kha.?"
" I was just made into a mash to cover up all their rottenness?!"
" Why am I the only one who's made difficult with them!?" he said he sounded furious.
" hehh!! loe doesn't realize. loe is also making it hard!!?" my snapping.
He just laughed a little.
" I'm sorry Kha. but you are my last shield.Maybe I can't Bales you now.I know you're a good man.I pray to God that your kindness be countered by him??" he said it sounded wise.
" Now you pray Rud, then,?" I said insinuate her again.
" Have you just met so hard to remember your God??"
'' yes his name is human Kha, much wrong same khilaf??" she said with a slight smile that I knew meant about women.
" you are not khilaf, I was also not khilaf.but intentionally.!!" reply me to him. He just laughed a little.
" Look, now how does God get us to remember him again??"
" My marriage is ruined, my career is stalled. You stumble corruption case, your wife is now sued for divorce plus Your condition is now not healthy. You are sick!!?" my word.
He looked at me a little hard and wide.
" It is time.after this we all finish back to the path of the Lord.each with faith??" I said.
" Good ustadz!?" he said while grinning.
" I want to ask you Rud, who is helping you now besides me??"
" Your family, right??" I said he just kept quiet.
" Where are all the gemash dedek you got??" I said in a soft tone.
He laughed quite hard.
" that's Bro...There will be a time when I leave the world like that. Maybe this was the beginning??" said.
" Thank you if you're aware.
******
" Yeah hello Ko...?" I said on the phone line to Eko, my office friend.
" Hmm... ko please help me take care of my attendance today, want to be cut off Leave or permission if there is a description??" I said.
" Thank you ko.?" I said.
" Ouhh yes, please don't tell my case to the other contract friends, huh Ko.?"
" If you can, Don't let this Story wacky used to be the same as them.??"
" Let me explain??" continue me.
" Yes if the rented mother asks, say again assigned to Jakarta??" I said.
" You also know, I just want to start the business together Mr Subandi??" I said add to it.
" Maybe I went back there on Friday??" I said.
" Okay.. Thanks Ko for the help??" I said while closing the connection from my phone.
I took a slow breath, thinking about all the problems that were happening to me.
O Allah, I ask forgiveness from you. Please be strong on this Self, and my faith and my Takwa.
Make me a more moral person than ever before.
I thought while rubbing my face.
There was no long incoming call from Eko, my friend at the office.
" Yes hello ko??" my answer.
" are there any notification letters about what please open and you read in again??" my door to him
with a little wonder.
" What!!" I said a little hard and in disbelief.
" Temporary stop mail for me!!"
" When!?" ask me again.
" Astaghfirullah haladzim.?" my spoken.
" unspecified time??"
" until I'm clear on my status in court?"
" Oh my God??" I said with mixed feelings.
My mind floated thinking about everything.My only livelihood was as an employee in the office.if I was temporarily dismissed, my salary would also be cut by a percentage.
then how do I share it with my son, rent money, accommodation, food money, pay for this or this shopping that, and also my business that just started still needs a lot of additional capital.
instantly my head was dizzy, how do I think this.
over and over again I say the words istighfar.
I can't keep staying at the hotel. I've been staying here 5 days, the cost is already worth 4 months rent at the house we contract with.
I've got to find another place to live, but where? I can't possibly live in a teteh house in Bekasi very far from here.
Or I don't know my mind is dead.
*****
I haven't seen Mas Sakha in 2 weeks, I thought.
actually I wanted to play to Mas Bandi's house, asking him where he might be.
but I don't want my feelings to be known to them.
Maybe I'm a hypocrite, on the one hand I don't want to have it. on the other hand I don't want him to have it.
but my feelings can't seem to be lied to.
I fell in love with him.
For some reason, it was like finding the perfect man in her.
" Dreaming mbak??" ledek Sham to me who suddenly shocked and disperse my daydream.
My reflexes hit him.
She just laughed.I pretended to be pouting at her.
******
" When the story was originally told that she went back to Jakarta because her son wanted surgery.?"
" is it fitting until Jakarta he even got a call from the corruption court??" mbak Asih said speaking in the style of the neighbor's mouth.
" What is mosok mbak??" I said pura didn't believe it.
"Heee ehh??" he said with his mouth tilted.
" i'm in the titane straight with her rented mother??!" he said with a tone of meme.
For a moment I was silent, there was a feeling of disbelief in my heart.
" Opo mobile sing fitting kae iku, Corruption results huh??" said guessing.
" What about Sih Mbakk??" I said in a surprised tone
" Don't rule out the possibility, right? he could have a car that good! make sure expensive??" she said in the tone of her mother's julid.
" Don't know that's your mas, how much money has Sakha come in??" Said.
" Fear it is money from corruption. Not even a blessing for effort??!" he said with a slightly angry tone.
" What money do you think??" ask me a curious.
" Yes yesterday was the plan of your mas the same sakha who wanted to join the business.yes his business mas you make furniture?"
" Well that fitting yesterday they ride the car, do you want to come to the regular subscription store masmu nitipin furniture??" brightest.
Hmmm.. apparently Mas Sakha Invested capital in the business owned by Mas Bandi who was suspended.
I just kept quiet and kept listening to him chattering.
" Yeah..not necessarily he's proven guilty, Mom.?"
" Don't talk like that just yet, is wong the verdict of his trial does not exist.?"
" Mas Sakha is also new as a witness.??"
" don't you talk macem-macem first, mbok mistake??"
said Mas Bandi who suddenly came out of the room.
" Yes sir.. but it's possible, right??" he said in a tone like he didn't want to be blamed.
" Oh yes it is possible, but do we still have to wait for the outcome of the court's decision.?"
" Wong we do not know sit the question to directly judge. Yes wrong!?" said reminded.
Mama looked to turn her face away.
" actually I want to ask him, but I'm not happy to want to phone Sakha. afraid later even more burdened his mind?"
Said mas Bandi.
I just kept quiet, actually my feelings churned erratically thinking about Mas Sakha.
Hopefully all this is not true, may Sakha be free from all the demands and problems that surround him.
And we were soon found, soon enough,
Maybe also I hope, can mate with him later.ðŸ¤
*******
I walked slowly towards the door of this hotel room, planning to go outside.
If I could I'd like to see my two kids somewhere.
trying to make an appointment with Estu.
I pressed the elevator door button almost at the same time as the young mbak who was beside me, while we looked at each other and smiled. He seemed to be one of the hotel guests also like me.
We both went out in the hotel lobby. Yet he seemed to be waiting for someone to come along, so he sat down on the sofa of the waiting room.
I'm busy talking to Estu myself.
trying to ask him for permission to meet my two children.
But for a million reasons, he can't be found.
But suddenly, my eyes were fixed on a stranger in my eyes.
A young man with a neat cut approached the woman who was with me earlier in the elevator.
After coming to each other, they were left behind and then returned to the elevator to return to the room, perhaps.
I didn't waste this moment, and immediately filmed it. shooting the zoom in stealth.
Fortunately, the result is good, the image resolution is not broken.
It looks real it's someone I've known a lot.it used to be part of my family.
However, we are not fooled as a family.
******
" Hello Estu, should we meet??' I said a little forcefully.
" Can't Sakha??" my answer was cut off...
" Hello.hallo..hallo??" I said while looking at my phone.
Then a message came in, an image and a video.
For a moment I could not believe seeing him.
So all this time what my brother-in-law had been rumbling about turned out to be true.
Reni once told me that my younger brother Panji was having an affair.
And Sakha accidentally caught him directly.
Honestly, I can't speak because of it.
