My love is just one
16. Illegal work

Patience and hard work will pay off, never doubt or lose faith in yourself, live your resolve and strive for success.

*****

After the funeral procession of Pak Prawiro was completed, Handoyo took Prawiro and Deasy's mother in his small house in the outskirts of Lampung. The house was passed by public transport making it easier for Deasy to reach her school in the middle of Lampung.

"Bu Prawiro... This house is mine.I hope you will stay here...I will not demand anything from you.I am happy enough if you consider me family.because from the past, I have no family, "Said Handoyo to two women of different ages.

"Thank you son Handoyo.I'm sorry to bother you.It's only been my father since we entered the hospital and we can not contact Alfian, he always said.... many of our families are not capable...

"Sir Prawiro always emphasized to me while I was in High School that Patience and hard work will pay off, never hesitate or lose faith in yourself, live your determination and strive for success.it is my grip.I hope Alfian and Deasy will also do the same thing as said by Mr. Prawiro... Tonight I'm leaving, ma'am, because tomorrow I'm going to work again...

"Well son Handoyo..thank you so much for allowing us to stay and help with the funeral costs of Mr... if there is time ... occasionally stop by here too.I consider you my son...even if I may wish you could be my man..."Said Bu Prawiro lirih.

Deasy looked down at her mother's words. He was ashamed of the 10 year old man. Currently he is still in the 3rd grade of Junior High is still 15 years old and the new discussed his love for his classmates. It feels strange if his mother discusses the problem of a soul mate or the like.

"Mom.no I refuse... My love is only one and that's for my late wife, Lidya.

"Hopefully. but it feels like the late Mr. Prawiro will be happy if you marry his daughter...

"Mom..let's just say I'm your son and Deasy and Alfian's brother...I live well here.emh there is little money for you to stay here.every month I will send money order for your fee.... and if I have time I will find Alfian for Mom and Deasy.

"good son Handoyo.you are careful and if possible, turn to a good job.Mom does not know your work but mother and Deasy will pray for you every night.... no why don't you become a mother's daughter-in-law.care for Lidya's successor, son.he's already happy in heaven there.

"No ma'am, I just want Lidya to be my wife and that will never change.

"Okay son..I hope you can live your life well.but may you always pray for yourself to always be good and be on the right path.

"Thank you ma'am..thank you if you want to pray for me" Handoyo said.

Handoyo hugged Prawiro's mother before leaving her home. As he passed by Deasy, he held the girl's head while saying,

"Learn diligently and obey your mother!" You must learn to be successful in order to be proud of your parents!" Handoyo said wisely

"Well, thank you" Deasy smiled and stared at Handoyo's departure while embracing her mother.

The house is not large and has only one room. However, it has a fairly large yard and can be planted with some vegetables to meet the needs of the small family. They are simple people who are able to give thanks for what they still have and continue to hope for the Almighty so that their families are protected and poured out of fortune.

Handoyo immediately ran his vehicle leaving the city of Lampung. He's headed for Bakauheni Harbor. On the way, the car driven by Handoyo was hit from behind by another black car. Handoyo immediately pulled over his car to see how severe the damage was.

The driver of the car that hit Handoyo's car also got off. They both looked sharp. There is no guilty look on the driver.

"Why did you hit my car ?" Handoyo said a little loudly and his gaze disliked.

"You drive it carelessly.. so I'm the sudden ngerem... don't worry, I can fix your car.. I have a workshop.... your ugly face can also be metulin in my workshop.ayo there.you follow me, " said the man.

"You just pay the damage fee. and I'll take this car in Jakarta..

"Broast really.this car used to be my permak..this was originally a stolen car.. here I prove...see behind the hood cover, near the battery cable, there is a scrawl of my name.... you see for yourself. and under your seat, try to lift.. There is a ribbon and near the ribbon there is my name.. Just check it. I wait here!"  The man said as he stood near Handoyo's car.

Handoyo. He hesitated a little. He used to find this car was indeed at a price below the market. The need to ease his pace, and the great offer about the sophistication of this car in 1992 made him think that there were good and cheap cars. Handoyo did not check the letter of the vehicle before. A little annoyance was on Handoyo's face. Apparently I can be fooled.

As soon as he checked the front hood of his car, the man said near the battery cable, there was a scribble and his name was written. And it turns out there's a name... "UDDIN".

"So your name is... udin?"

"Hemm... I told you.. This is the first car I repaired..... how cool is it? This car has the latest engine in 1992... and economical gasoline? I just want to add to the greatness of this car.you have never been stopped by the police, right when you cross.I am great at disguising it.

"Yes.. Now take me to your workshop, Udin," Handoyo tried to follow the words of the man she had just met,

"sip....

*****

The workshop is not like a workshop. But a large warehouse with a front that glues in the form of a large grocery store with several employees there who are busy tidying up supplies and other employees are serving orders from buyers.

Handoyo watched Udin in more detail. The man might be the same age as her, but walked with a slightly limp step. There was something strange about the man he had just met.

"Why your legs?' Handoyo finally asked in more detail.

"Because of the hot lead of the police, when taking this car.. This car originally belonged to an important person's son in South Sumatra... yes I just took his car and I threw it into the abyss there. And finally I got this gift and locked up 9 months.

"So you mean, you want to have this car back?'

"No.. I just wanted to ask you for help... To give me a different but harmless job and make money ..I can keep your secret!"

"You mean?"

"I saw what you did when you set fire to the general and his son and you walked on foot in this car..... You kept going to the beach "Sari tangent" Right?"

"You ... Why didn't you report me?" Handoyo was surprised to hear Udin's words, which were indeed unexpected eyewitnesses. "are you there?"

"I actually saw from you getting out of this car. and walking towards the rental car.you went to Andi's house,,,, and it goes on in the square, but I like to see your style of cleaning up Andi...   Because I don't like that Andi, he's the one who got me caught because of this car, he's also the one who took the girl from the important person in South Sumatra and made her mistress.... akh..let's just say if he does want a mistress or something.I don't care! you stupid woman!"

"really?"

"Yes.. I don't care.I want to thank you for taking care of that Andi !"  Hemm... Can you invite me to work with you. I'm a reliable partner.I can make a mask that imitates anyone's face and that can support your work!"

"i'm just a factory worker!' Handoyo is still quibbling.

" i actually have one big job offer to take care of that important person ..... but I don't have the courage to commit murder.

"You're sure anyone would dare to pay for that?" Handoyo was interested.

"I can introduce him to you.. But can we be friends ?"

"Yes Udin, you can call me Handoyo!"
