My love is just one
58. Sheet 3

Change can only be passed by those who are strong and willing to face challenges, let it go if it falls but I will try to get back up

*****

From the outside of the room belonging to Mangatur Sitompul, the Chief Warden of Class I Prison, Batu Nusa Kambangan, heard the sound of chatter interspersed with laughter of people in the room. There were 3 people in the room, the Head of Prison, Nadia and her friend from Jakarta.

Indra and Handoyo who had just arrived in front of the room could only look at each other hearing their familiar and boisterous laughing and chattering.  Both of them had to catch their breath after walking briskly and walking quite a distance towards this office before knocking on that door.  There is no transportation available for the inmates in this room.

After feeling ready, then Indra knocked on the wooden door and just entered the room after getting permission from the owner of the room.

"Lock !"  The voice of the Mangatur Sitompul sounded loud in the ears of the two men who were outside the room.

The two entered the room quietly. Nadia smiled at Handoyo who was getting more and more skin-soaked and more visible on this lapas.  Nadia immediately got up from her chair and smiled meaningfully at Handoyo. Their eyes met as if they were talking to each other.

"My dear.... I'm sorry, just come now.... You're okay right?" Sapa Nadia while swaying spoiled on Handoyo's stocky arm.

Handoyo was choked and he immediately learned this was only part of this woman's plan to get him out of this prison. He had to follow the charade of a woman he had met a while ago. Replied the smile of the woman who was the right hand of the leader of this Black Eagle Organization.

"Yes.... Have you done all our business?' Reply Handoyo calmly.

"Have dong dear ... I have spoken with Mr. Mangatur and brought a warrant from the Prosecutor who did borrow you with a certain record that is closed and secret , this is all in order to help the security of the country, so inside your cell will be occupied by Mas Natsir... and Mr. Mangatur already knew that this was a Silent operation, so he would keep his files in maximum security.

"Well if that's the decision, my dear..... Do you bring food? I'm so hungry..."Sahut Handoyo while looking at so much food on the table.

"Of course, I have prepared for you in the car. But according to Mr. Mangatur we may leave the washcloth after dinner is delivered so it will not make other prisoners isolated suspicious....we'll make sure that Mas Natsir enters your cell room to replace your duties!"

"Oh... "Sahut Handoyo quietly while nodding his head.

"Sir Mangatur, may I take my husband to the car for a while, we will not leave before making sure that Mas Natsir who replaced Mas Handoyo can enter the room?"

The eyes of Mangatur and Indra are centered on both. They noticed the interaction of newly met husband and wife after being separated for almost a month. They did not know that Nadia was not Handoyo's wife. Even the woman dared to introduce herself as Lidya.  They trusted Nadia so much that they let Nadia behave like that to Handoyo. While Natsir is part of the organization of the Black Eagle who was assigned to replace Handoyo and he got assurances that as long as he served here his family was guaranteed by the organization with fantastic pay.

"Why not just eat this one, Ms. Lidya.. is there so much food  ?" Mangatur invites them to enjoy the food brought by Nadia and indeed the number is very much.

"Oh it is indeed for Mr. Mangatur and some officers here. while for Mas Natsir I have separated as well... plan earlier...

"Already, the car is for supplies on your journey alone .. This is for us to eat together while enjoying our togetherness first... This Handoyo is like my nephew, Ms. Lidya. so do not feel uncomfortable with us, let's Indra and mas Natsir. let's eat together later after this, Indra will distribute to all officers here!"

"Alright then," said Nadia as she continued to hold Handoyo's arm.

While Handoyo has no other choice but to follow the charade performed by Nadia. This woman continued to cling to him and act as his wife.  They chatted intensely while enjoying the lunch brought by Nadia . Handoyo must tell the details of the corn garden management process activities on Natsir who will play a role for 2 years in this yard. Activities carried out in the field for almost a month.

Handoyo did not understand that there were indeed people who were willing to work as substitute inmates. So he felt a little guilty to Natsir who was willing to replace him to bear his sentence in this field and moreover whether the justice system in this country was so easily controlled by the Organization of the Black Eagle.  An incredible organization to enter, it was in Handoyo's mind.

*****

The night is getting late, when Handoyo, Indra, Natsir and Nadia stop in front of the green isolation front Building. Handoyo once felt tormented by the rules and obligations that must be lived while in this prison. But Natsir is a person he does not know, but this man is willing to take the place of the punishment he bears

The four of them stood in front of the gate of the isolation building. The four looked at the surroundings illuminated by lights that were outlasted by the darkness of the night.

"Of course Mas handoyo. I do this for my family in the village. This is a job that I can do and for the cost of my four children in school, "Sahut Natsir with full confidence.

"You won't regret it? you can't see your family for 2 years and if I die during my state assignment, then you'll continue my sentence for 7 years?" Sahut Handoyo reminded the man how hard his life was.

"I knew Handoyo, Lidya had informed me and he said as long as I was on duty, then my son and wife would live in abundance, so take it easy to do your job.I know what I will do in the next two years," Natsir said firmly so that Handoyo could only pat her on the shoulder, saying thank you.

'Pak Indra... thank you for the guidance during my time here... I hope if there is an opportunity, I can repay your kindness?"  Said Handoyo who switched to his supervisor during the lecture some time now. "I try to return in 2 years according to the agreement.... "

"Sama-sama Handoyo.thank you for being a good friend and co-citizen here.... Every action of yours can hopefully make your punishment here lessened.it's my prayer for you, Han!"

"Thank you Mr. Indra and Mas Natsir.my wife and I beg you to leave" Handoyo said .

Nadia opened the driver's side door for Handoyo to enter the car. While the two men enter the green isolation building and play a role in carrying out their respective duties.

Nadia who was driving the car because she felt Handoyo did not know Medan road on a small island which is indeed limited lights and narrow roads. They should get to the dock before midnight. It had to be done because of the operation support ship that did restrict people knowing their movements and was in the middle of the night.

"So what exactly is your plan, Nad?" Handoyo asked as soon as the car walked off the washcloth.

"Big mama told me I had to pick you up, and you were waiting in Semarang City tomorrow afternoon, our first task was to clean up a defector, he was an important person in the city but he sold the information to one of the commander-in-chief's relatives.... and our job will be to act as husband and wife and you are the businessman who will buy the collection of gold kris... Do you understand your duty?"

"This is what you call a state assignment?" Why are you fooling that warden so easily?"

"You'll understand more and more after a long time in this organization. We have to "All Out" here. and I'm your mentor, even though I know your shooting skills above me.... I know your shooting accuracy is amazing, but I'm in this organization more senior!"

"All right..."Sahut Handoyo short.
