Ustad Or Alkash?
In the Name of Friendship and Goodness

On a bus, Andin sat with his head. He noticed everything the bus was going through. Andin took his phone. He forgot to tell Kumala about his return.

"Well, Andin's home. Right now, Andin's on the bus."

Andin put his phone back in his black backpack.

Andin recalled everything that happened three months ago. He closed his eyes.

"Well, the shadow of a childhood that had never been imagined before, these few days is very disturbing Andin, mah."

At that time, Andin told Kumala about his anxiety.

"What's bothering you, baby?"

"At a young age, Andin often played with Ziban's sister, Rossie, and him. Elle's Dad. Is that right, mah? But before that Andin didn't remember anything."

Kumala smiled.

"When you were a kid, you fell down the stairs. Your head hit. You forgot your childhood right then and there. Mamah and Papah have been trying to find the best doctors from various parts of the world. But there was no result,"

"So my mom and dad decided not to recall all your lost memories. We decided to take care of you and educate you as best we can. We only help you remember things that are already in sight. Like Rossie and her mother,"

"And as for Ziban and Zidan, we don't help you remember. Because they already live with Atta, in Bandung with his new wife."

Andin reopened his eyes, then smiled.

Who would have thought, when I was a child, Ziban and I were always waiting for dusk to come.

Prince Senjana, Princess Senjani. Ah, totally ridiculous.

Andin still smiled while shaking his head. He remembered all the silliness he had done with Ziban.

......................

"What should I do? I even feel like someone's been watching me for the past two years,"

"Trust me, I really hope for you. My aging mother is the bet,"

"I have only one weakness, my mother."

Secretary Chan sent him a long message to someone he had been looking for a long time. Finally he got his mobile number after being careful in asking for help from his friend. His friend was not that easy to find a mobile number, as well as his whereabouts. It takes a very long time. But that was Secretary Chan's only hope.

"You're looking for me. And that's precision. I'm not gonna let it all happen the way Talita wants it,"

"My niece, she's out of her mind, Secretary Chan,"

"I even knew all his lies when I was in school. I know, he loves Ziban very much. Ah yes, but it is not right if the above name loves. More precisely an over-obsession."

The two of them sent each other a message and answered quickly. That's all Secretary Chan can do. He will not make the mistake of talking about this important thing over the phone. He knew that around him there were still people watching him. Even in his house. He knew some of the small cameras in his house. He knows it. But he only pretended not to know, by letting the camera remain installed in his house.

"I was really surprised after you said Talita was your niece. That's certainly beyond my knowledge,"

"I'm looking for you, because I know, besides Rinta, you are the closest to Young Master Ziban Alkash. I was thinking, you're gonna help your best friend Raditya."

Raditya again replied to a message from Secretary Chan.

"I'll try to fix everything. First, in the name of friendship. Then, in the name of kindness."

After reading the message from Raditya, Secretary Chan put down his phone.

Young Master Ziban even thought that my departure was a betrayal. God fucking. It's all pure the woman's fault! How dare you make me bend my knees and bow with threats on behalf of my mother!

He stared at the surveillance camera attached to his mother's painting with her. He clenched his right hand.

Raditya rushes to Ziban's childhood home. Yes, the house that Ziban currently occupies. Her real mother's house. Helen.

Raditya came to Ziban, after one day of his arrival in Indonesia. That he did, not out of sheer desire. That was because on the first day of Ziban and Talita's arrival, he got a new message from Secretary Chan. Secretary Chan said that Doctor Ferdian was returning to his hometown to coincide with Ziban's arrival. Doctor Ferdian returned to his hometown, for two weeks.

Of course, at that time he met Doctor Ferdian at the airport. He took a neutralizing drug that Ziban had taken several times. The drug showed a significant Ziban condition, only Talita quickly found out. It ruins everything.

"I didn't think I was this smart."

Raditya boasts of his genius. He has a talent as a detective.

I sensed, there was an aura of a famous detective buried within me.

Raditya gave up the praise for himself. He knocked on the door of the house where Ziban was. The door was opened by Rossie. Raditya gulped his saliva. He did not think there was a girl in the house. She would wear perfume if she knew. That's what Raditya thought.

"I'm Raditya, Ziban's friend. You're who?" (asked Raditya)

"I'm her sister." (answered Rossie)

The insolent! Even Ziban didn't tell me that she had a sweet sister like this.

"May I meet Ziban?"

Rossie nodded. Then he invited Raditya to come inside.

Ah and look at the way he nodded. I was really fascinated.

Rossie takes Raditya to Ziban's room. After escorting Raditya, Rossie left him. But he had heard Raditya saying that Rossie was very sweet. It is very different from Ziban. That's what Rossie heard. Raditya does not realize that Rossie heard his words.

And after Rossie confirmed Raditya who went into Ziban's room, he looked back. Then cover his face. He looks embarrassed.

"Hi, Man. Long time no see." (pa Raditya)

Ziban looked at Raditya with a flat gaze. Raditya approached Ziban who was fiddling with his phone. Raditya took Ziban's cell phone.

"Who are you?" (asked Ziban)

Raditya opened his bag. He threw into the bed some of his photographs with Ziban that he had deliberately printed.

"I'm your best friend. I heard you lost your memory. You remember everything from Talita, right? Ah, I'm sure he didn't have time to tell us our memories of being friends. Yeah, 'cause he must be really busy with some of his stuff."

Ziban took these photos. He didn't think much about Raditya's words.

"Are you really my best friend?" (asked Ziban)

"Of course, Man. You believe it, right? Then, I will accompany you for a few days. Ah, I miss you so much."

Raditya laid down his body beside Ziban.

"You're gonna stay here, you mean?"

Raditya.

"Look, I've brought some clothes."

Raditya showed me his bag that was already filled with some of his necessities. Suddenly he looked at Ziban.

"But Man, I forgot to bring the panties inside,"

"Ah, fine no problem. I'll borrow it to you." (he said)

Ziban glared at his eyes.

SERIATE...
