Ballad Inmates (Part 47)

“NOW want to pack Mario like what?” suddenly, Mr. Rudy asked a question. His voice vibrates. Resisting anger. 

“I just want to give you that officer's request, sir. Because he was wearing menacing. Fear me if threatened, sir,” I said later. Lowest. 

“If according to Mr. Mario, an officer like this is not suitable for duty here, I move,” said Mr. Rudy again. Resolutely.

I'm speechless. Realize when “hotball” turns towards me. After thinking for a moment. I dare to talk.

“Sorry, Mr. Rudy. I am just a prisoner. It's nobody. Mr. Rudy is the commander here. And according to the briefing at yesterday's briefing, the Father emphasized the need for all of us here to respect each other, there should be no colonizations. Yes just enforce the rules, sir,” I said later. Stick with low voice intonation.

“Ready, Mr. Mario. I will definitely take action,” said Mr. Rudy. 

After that, I greet Mr. Rudy and say goodbye back to the room. While walking through the passage, some prisoners gave a thumbs up at me. There was satisfaction on their faces. There's a relief explosion there.

“Ngapain earlier, Be. Could have been pumping Mr. Rudy until as soon as possible,” said Asnawi, as soon as I returned to the corner of the hallway.

I'm just smiling. Aris and Reza also sat down. Ijal came out of the room and brought my coffee and cigarettes.

“Thank you, Jal,” I said, as soon as he put coffee and cigarettes in front of me.

“Outstanding Babe's style of play turns out. Smooth but ugly,” said Aris while looking at me.

“What does this mean, Ris?” my many. Pretending to not understand the direction of the conversation.

“Yang earlier, talks with Mr. Rudy. It's far beyond my estimation that Babe could pack such a smooth toy. There is no need to use tension, but the pain is terrible for the arrogant officer earlier,” said Aris explained.

“Thener, Ris. I was horrified from behind Babe's body until the trembling. Can be as calm as Babe makes people run out of his awesomeness,” said Asnawi, adding.

“Thus, this Babe fits into a cold-blooded killer. There is talent there,” said Reza. While laughing.

“Neither time. I would know myself. We are just prisoners. Yes, cribbing is what it is. We can't be brave either. What matters is his intention. I intend to ngingetin just the officer, according to the talk of Mr. Rudy. No colonization in this prisoner complex. That's my grip. So Mr. Rudy also supported my speech. If I'm wrong, yes can be slaughtered,” I said later.

“But honestly I admit, Babe mainin's calmness is truly an extraordinary situation. My thumbs up,” said Aris seriously.

“I'll learn from you, Ris. So consciously not aware, a lot of your knowledge that I took and this was just one that I practiced. Thank God for blessing,” I said with a smile.

We all laughed together. That morning, there was a distinct relief after receiving the threat. 

The cycle of life is often so fast. Even we ourselves are often rarely aware of the shift. 

While we were still chatting in the corner of the hallway in front of the room enjoying the ngangin, Gustav came. The head of the block of the detention complex sat down immediately. Right in front of me.

“Bang, sorry the officer yes. He could be suspended because of the report brother,” said Gustav, while asking permission to drink coffee owned by Asnawi.

“Lha, I will not report him, Gustav. Coincidentally just as I went to the post to give the shipment according to his wishes, there is a Mr. Rudy,” I said.

I'm silent. It read clearly if Gustav sided with the guard that was with his arrogance to spread a threat to me. Whereas as the head of the prisoner complex block, he should prioritize the interests of prisoners.

“So massage you, how should I go?” tanyaku later.

“Yes, sorry,” says Gustav.

“What's wrong with him until I have to apologize? He has nothing wrong with me. Instead I came to the guard post because I want to give what he wants,” I said. Stay relaxed. 

“Iya, I understand what you mean well. Just not the right time to give it. There's Mr. Rudy. Finally so troubled gini,” said Gustav again. This time from the tone of his voice there seemed to be a turmoil of its own.

“Already, we do not need to discuss about it yes. We are both prisoners. Do not even arise not good between us because of the matter,” said Aris. Intercede.

“That means it can't be good between us what?” suddenly Gustav spoke in a high tone.

“Don't let a misunderstanding between us just mean, Gustav. You don't like me talking about it. Wrong where I said,” reply Aris. Also with high notes.

Gustav looked furious at Aris's reply. His eyes glare. Aris was no less fierce. They looked full of anger. The atmosphere that was originally tinged with joy, suddenly changed the tension.

I hold both hands. Tauter. They're staring. There was still a tempestuous rage in the eyes of Gustav and Aris.

“If you're a real hotshot, let's go to the room. I'm fighting you guys. Who wins, I kick. The loser, I slap. Let's go to the room if you can't hear my words,” I said in a soft but stressed voice.

Gustav and Aris were both silent. Only their eyes were still looking at each other. There's a burning anger there.

“You better what you want to fight. By the way now,” I said again.

This time, I looked at the two of them with anger as well. My emotions are starting to explode. Stirred because of the selfishness of Gustav and Aris. 

“Iya, bang. I'm sorry. I was emotional about that incident. Because the guard officer is my sister-in-law. His wife is my real sister. Then I pity him,” said Gustav later. Voice low.  

“How are you Aris? Still want to continue this dispute?” I asked Aris. 

A man my age just shook his head. Resignedly.

“Then, you guys shake now. And no revenge. If until I see you are still enemies, I miss you,” I said, still in a high tone.

Gustav extended his hand first. Aris greeted him halfheartedly. I know, Aris still felt something in his heart over what Gustav said. But he was red-handed to appreciate me. 

“So, that officer was your sister-in-law, Gustav?” ask Reza. Once the atmosphere starts to melt back. 

“Iya, really. My biological sister's her wife. That's the pretentious guy. But the name is already a character, yes want how again,” said Gustav. As if asking for understanding.

Aris looked like she was going to stand up. Wanted to get into the room. I hold his thighs to not move. He also abandoned his intentions.

“So you mean to ask Babe sorryin what was it?” ask Reza again.

“Usually, if it has been brought provos gini, the complainant will also be questioned. If bang Mario tells a true story what my sister-in-law said, bebebes him. Could be two weeks he entered the mouse cells in this mapolres,”, said Gustav explained in a tone of voice. (connected)
