"Lid. promise me, never to leave me. Even if I am sick or poor," Handoyo said softly while holding Lidya's fingers.
Lidya smiled and kissed her husband's forehead for a long time. They had just finished channeling their desires and were still cuddling in their beds. The rest of the sweat was still on their bodies and they both still managed to catch their breath as a result of their hot activities that had just been completed a moment ago.
"you are - there are - there are - you, too - after this child was born and I got worse, fatter, and less good at taking care of myself, too, keep you in Cilegon there yearya have another wife. so you better promise dong, Han..
"I'm serious Lid. ngak know why, I feel tomorrow why I don't want to go to Cilegon... " Handoyo said quietly and at that time Lidya just poked her lips and didn't say anything.
"Lidya... You really love me, right?" Handoyo asked again and this time he raised his wife's face to look at her . It is just a feeling or is it a sign from Him.
"My dear Handoyo, I'm going nowhere but to stay by your side and raise our children, now your job as the head of the family is you have to find a lot of money for the cost of me giving birth later and thankfully we can save for school fees huh!"
"alright.. I will work hard and if possible you can come live with me in Cilegon yes, Lid.... I think it's gonna be more developed for our families and the job there is better, baby!"
"Sure.. I will definitely go wherever you go, Han..
"No woman can move you, Lidya!"
---
Handoyo smiled in his sleep. His heart was very happy and kept his eyes closed, It turned out that it was their last conversation a week before the unfortunate events experienced by Lidya and her parents in Lampung.
The events that are always present in every Handoyo are fretting and will carry out their duties. Handoyo never told anyone anything. His world is his. Other people should not know his darkest secrets.
In the morning, Handoyo woke up refreshed. He has arrived at Alex's residence to carry out his mission. The smell of morning coffee and fried bananas had begun to smell from inside the room and the sound of people chatting outside the room, making him sit in the room and start listening.
Handoyo recalled the words Lidya often said to him while bringing morning coffee, The most beautiful morning is when we are able to go through various problems and face every shock. But for Handoyo, every morning was a problem and nothing made him have to fight extra hard and he just went through life following the flow of taking him. Everything felt empty since Lidya disappeared from his life.
Finally Handoyo came out of the room and approached udin and Alex who were enjoying coffee and fried bananas at the dining table which was used as their base camp before carrying out any missions.
"Well, I finally woke up....Han, it's your coffee!" Sapa Alex while watching Handoyo who was still appearing disheveled and saw the man pulling a chair carelessly in front of him.
"bang.. like this project can not walk deh... I got the info that "Cepot "is being targeted by the police and we have to calm the situation first.... "Handoyo said quietly and immediately downed the bitter coffee casually.
Alex and Udin were surprised to hear information from Handoyo.
"Where did you get it, Han.. tell me? are there any spies in our group?" Alex scrunched his face dislikes.
"Not a spy and I'm sure, there's a woman I know and she can hear the inner voice.... he said it's best to be careful about this project... "Handoyo speech immediately cut off udin
"Ahh because of women... So you already have Lidya's replacement?" Udin said while poking at him. " You're in love with that woman Han...
"That's not the case here, the woman I know is different...
"That means you're sleeping with her, your heart delivered this project, Han... "Sahut Udin relaxed and while continuing to chew fried bananas.
"I never fucked her.. She's a nice lady.. she has a police lover.... this project in Surabaya we need to cancel. because he ordered, that this time it failed... "Sahut Handoyo was calm.
"Okay, we'll just cancel it and we'd better do the usual and inconspicuous activity. And you'd better handoyo, you're looking for a different place and avoid that woman if you can....because the main target is you...
"I'm going to Lampung .. nyekar Lidya's grave first, .. bang. and if I get caught, calm down I won't mention your names..." Handoyo sipped his coffee back.
"I believe in you two..."Alex said as he continued to smoke his cigarette.
"That's not the case, Han... What if we gamble a little. I mean is if that woman we bring in our project .. it will make our mission always successful, "Sahut Udin with his sly smile.
"no ... don't involve him. His life is already suffering,din!" Let's release this year's project Bang!' Handoyo waited for Alex's decision to think hard and keep looking at him.
"Actually I don't care, if the project is off but like this, I just feel sorry for the people in the city of Surabaya who are victims of Juragan Kusnandar, but yes we have to let go.... udin concentrate on your shop and you Han, you better open a workshop in Jakarta and avoid the woman!'
"good bang.thank you, "Sahut Handoyo quietly.
"Keep we'll see you again when?" Udin asked waiting for certainty of the next project.
"Maybe later this year we'll talk about it here. I'll have people look for you guys. And indeed about that cop, some time ago there was a guy named "Arief " from the 5th Police team, questioned me after you cleared up the problem in Palembang, so as to make him and his team stop the investigation on me. You guys already have an alibi for that time.because I think this is related to the Lampung, Palembang and Makassar Cases.
"It's ... take it easy bang!" Udin Sahut.
"I if asked.... " Sahut Handoyo was relaxed.
"you should have a great lawyer, Han!" Alex said, and as he kept thinking, "I think "kang Dede Muhandar" is also good to be your lawyer.
"Thank you, I don't care if I'm in jail or shot.... and the person I cleared up was a criminal that the public really thought was rubbish, just a cop who let people with such crimes live on and continue to harm others.
They continued to sit there and talk about some important things until 10:00 am and then they split up leaving the city of Bandung and headed to their respective destinations that are different. for Handoyo , Alibi is not important, he just wants to help the persecuted in his way. And according to him, whatever he has done so far is not wrong.
*****
Handoyo re-entered his home in Cilegon. He immediately took a shower and laid his body on his bed. Tired of the trip made Handoyo immediately fall asleep. The sky of Cilegon City was getting darker and Handoyo was still asleep in his dreamland. The house is from the outside as if there are no residents due to the absence of any activity in the house.
Handoyo felt a soft grip on his fingers that seemed to wake up his afternoon sleep. But the sound and grip felt warm . He opened his eyes and the worried face of Lidya seemed to greet immediately.Handoyo stifled to look at the woman in white dress. The longing was burning but the woman got up and left her bed.
"Lidya.... why?" Handoyo called out to Lidya who was about to come out of the room.
"Wake up yuk.. You have to eat before they arrive to pick you up. I've prepared dinner.... " Peach Lidya while leaving the room.
Handoyo got up and prepared to catch up with Lidya. Outside his home, he heard something. Some were whispering and moving outside the house.
