Bound Mumtaz
chapter 50. Should Be Acting

" Zayin, do you have to act like a pms girl so much as a girl? Reprimanded William who followed Zayin to his faculty building.

" What do you mean?"

" So, you don't think that Lo's too rough with them?"

" No, that's not how much, Lo never see how bang Jimmy if you don't like girls."

" Is there something that's bothering Lo's mind?" Ask Bayu.

" No, did you get any info on that gun and drug supplier?

They shook their heads "while this target is still that woman." William.

" Zayin," called Adinda over confidently while smiling sweetly

" Yin, target is moving." Whisperer

" Kuy is gone." 

As they were about to move, Adinda blocked Zayin's arm which was immediately pushed aside by Zayin

" Zayin, where are you going?" Adinda forced her to align her steps, and held Zayin's hand again

" What the hell, Lo. Go, just bother being a girl." Zayin jerked Adinda's grip, and left her. Adinda was embarrassed because she was stared at by the people around her

" Zayin," William admonishes to align Zayin's steps.

" Lo if you want to know why I hate it so much the girl asked Bayu."  Zayin continued his steps following the target

" So, I thank you for the opportunity that I have been given, if anything goes wrong and I apologize." Aida's mother said to Sandra's mother after submitting her resignation letter.

" If this is really my desire, I can only accept it even though frankly I still need help mbak." Mom's talk.

" Of course, if there's anything I can help you with, I'd be happy to help her."

" Sir, if you suddenly stop like this I feel bad." Said Aunt Sherly

" What the hell mbak, this has nothing to do with mbak, it's just a coincidence." Mama's say

" What's the plan after you get out of here?" Ask mama

" At home first, the kids want me to take a break enjoying old age" he said." 

" Ck, still fresh like this." Mother chirps

" Haha, you can be this one."

 " I'll go right away, Jimmy asked for a meeting at the office." Said Mumtaz who drove Sicily home.

" Yes, you weren't supposed to be like that. I'm not good."

" You're also silent, but you don't like to hear the rumors."

Sicily bowed "Sicily, I may not always be this sensitive, so I hope you reveal everything you feel about us."

" I don't want to fuss over gini's trivia."

" For me, there is something trivial about your feelings. I want this relationship to go on for a long time, and it takes good cooperation. It's better to make a storm, and we finish it than be quiet, but endure the pain."

Sicily nodded "in front of her I won't hesitate to talk." 

" That dong, it's good to hear.greatly fought that way, me it." Sicily blushed in embarrassment, Mumtaz chuckled.

" sister,..."

" Hmm?"

" Can I ask you something?"

" What?"

" I'm asking you not to screw another girl on this bike but me."

" Thanks to my family, and your friends can't?"

" Eh, if that's okay, I mean..."

" Yes, I get it.okay, the message is carried out, you are jealous too."

Sicily looks down unwell "sorry, but if you don't mind forcing it, it's your bike too, sorry."

" Hey, it's okay. I don't like other girls' bells either."

" I'm going ya."

" Be careful."

" Ready, madam." Mumtaz rubbed the head of the Sicilian who held in shame

" So shy, but happy. Assalamualaikum."

" Wa, alaikumsalam."

" Doctor Ziva," call Anna's doctor

" Yes, what's wrong, doc?"

" I have to tell you how many times not to approach prof. farhan. even though we are separated, but it is not final, please take care of your behavior."

" I'm sorry, what does the doctor mean? say and my colleagues do have to be in touch with prof often. Farhan Guan research interests."

" Sorry, doc. I think you are less ethical about private matters in hospitals, especially in public places like this" said Zahira who realized some people were uncomfortable with the loud voice of Anna's doctor.

" Come on, Ziva. let's go to the prof's room, he's waiting for us." Zahira pulls Zivara's hand

At six o'clock in the afternoon Hito came down from the top floor of the hospital's senior building, in the lobby he met Ziva and Zahira

" Kak Hito" Ziva ran over to Hito

" Where are you going?" 

" Want to Zahra's room."

" I think he came home, I was just there."

" Ooh, let me check to make sure."

" Sister, it's late afternoon we go home yuk. I didn't bring Lo's car to pick me up this morning."  Hito hesitated

" Ziv, did you leave this morning with Hito's sister? "

" this is the compulsion of Sri's grandmother, do not be angry with me."

" You don't think about the feelings of Ara, it sounds bullshit know no, this is more to Lo who will marry him. Sis, this is also not the first time for Lo to be forced into a grandmother in the same match, usually Lo always resolute, but why Lo now the same way Ziva, Lo likes him, brother? accuse Zahira

" Not so, Hira "hito protested

" Lo also knows how it feels to be in the tikung people, now Lo who is like a castor.do not end up thinking the cave is the same as you."

" You call me an actor too?"

" depending, what is Lo nikung Ara?"

" it's up to Lo to think about me, which I'm sure I didn't marry him."

" i asked both of you, this is the first time you've gone together or ever before?"

Hito and Ziva fell silent at Zahira's question.

Zahira was clueless about their innermost "you if you want a beautiful affair." Zahir melengos left them.

Hito said to Zahira, he was wrong.

 " Let me call Ara first." Hito pulled his phone out of his shirt pocket.

" Don't believe it very well, just from there knocking on the door of his room, no answer. Come on, just go home. It's raining, and the road's jammed."

Although hesitant, Hito agreed to Ziva's invitation to withdraw Hito's hand.

In his room Zahra squirms stretching his muscles after sleeping from the end of examining his patients.

He saw the watch in his hand, eight o'clock.

" Astagfirullah, I slept for a long time, I got really good. Didn't Hito come home yet, no phone calls or messages."

Zahra checks her phone hoping for a call or message from Hito, but nil.

Zahra hurried to tidy up her luggage and went home. In the lobby he did not see Hito's car parked in the place that Hito's car was in this morning.

Not wanting to think badly Zahra called Hito with a dag-dig-dug feeling.

" Asalamualaikum? Brother, where are you?" Hail Zahra

"....."

" Ooh, he's home, he says he wants to go home with me." Zahra's great-grandson is starting to gamang.

"...."

" I'm still in the hospital waiting for my brother, but.., Yes I'm dead yepinnya." Not waiting for a response from across the street, Zahra turned off her phone.

He held tightly to his chest that was hurting.

A second later he called someone again.

" Abn, please check the cctv section of the lobby this afternoon when there is footage of Mr. Hito." He said when his phone was connected and immediately closed the connection

Shortly into the video notification of the recording, Zahra was stunned to see the video, in his chest beat away the growing pain.

Zahra crouched her body to her knees suppressing the pain, unaware of the clear droplets coming from her eyelids. Zahra cried bitterly

Then came a message notification from Ibnu.

" Said Mumtaz wait there Mumtaz was on his way to pick up brother."

*****

" Assalamualaikum" Hito entered his house lethargic and tired

" w, aleikumsalam." Answer the Goddess.

Hito kissed mom's hand, as he turned towards the stairs of his phone shaking, when he saw his caller Id rushing Hito to answer the call.

" Wa, alaikumsalamsalam, Zahra. I've been at home." Hito replied as he stepped towards the stairs

"...." - ".Hito stopped stepping to hear the answer across.

" Where are you?" Ask restless Hito

"....." She's stunned. Again, he knew he had done something wrong. His chest felt tight to find his wrong actions.

When the connection was cut Hito immediately went out again to the hospital. No mama's call and no matter the heavy rain. Limited visibility makes the speed of the car slow, Hito hit the steering wheel of the car vent his emotions

****

Four friends were discussing in the conference room.

" This, my new invention "Jimmy shares each one of the latest Rolex brand watches.

" Tumben, another harvest of Lo's money "the circus of Daniel that Jimmy ignored.

" Given our high-risk work on security, I designed this watch as an alarm when one of us feels cornered or threatened, Lo's phone will be sent a signal in the form of a red light, and there's gonna be a video of Lo's friend in need of that help." Bright Jimmy.

" Well, where do you know the signal from?"

" From the tension of the wearer's body temperature. Realize not Lo, if we are in a negative emotional state the body temperature rises and all muscles, especially the body muscles stiffen which is triggered by the Lo nerve alarm."

" I'll..." Jimmy's words stopped

Deerr....

" Assalamualaikum." Hail Ibn,

"....."

After answering the phone, Ibn immediately busy with his laptop, after getting the results of his search Ibn sent something to someone

" Who?" Ask Daniel

" Sister Zahra, he told me to check the hospital's cctv lobby in the afternoon with traces of om Hito."

Ibnu displayed the results on the screen, Mumtaz's face stiffened

" Lo show current cctv." Mumtaz.

On the screen was Zahra who was crouching like someone curled up while crying.

" Niel, pinjem Lo's car. Nu said to brother Zahra wait there I pick him up." Daniel threw the car keys.

" I want a hospital cctv tape related to om Hito all day I have a feeling this has something to do with Zayin's acting judes today." Mumtaz left the building.

*** 

Tin.tin....

" Sister, let's go home." Call Mumtaz from the car when you see Zahra standing daydreaming in front of the lobby.

Zahra opened the passenger door and immediately closed her eyes without asking even though her gaze occasionally noticed Zahra's tired look.

Not long Hito came in the hospital lobby and went straight down inside.

" I'm sorry, sir, you're looking for doctor Zahra, aren't you?" Ask the hospital guard 

Hito nodded "yes, did you see him?"

" Just got picked up, about five minutes ago."

The officer shook his head "not so clearly, the man didn't come down just calling Zahra's doctor."

" It looks like doctor Zahra is not well, I saw him crying while crouching."

Information from the officer was able to make Hito's chest many times crowded than the previous one, he took off the top two shirt buttons hoping to breathe a lot of oxygen.

Hito walked straight to his car, in the car he was sorry for what he did, if he had not listened to Zivara maybe they were still together because he could stay at Edelweis' house.

Hito rubbed his hair in annoyance

" Tumben Lo is back at this hour." Tanya Bara approached Jimmy who was sitting casually on the porch beside Bara's house.

" Ba"

" Fa, Lo still don't want to take over a little Atma Madina business!? I'm frankly underfoot."

" I'm pretty busy taking care of RaHasiYa."

" Yes, take the assistant."

" I'll take a little Atma Madina, but use Lo's assistant.

" gr, ogah. I don't want to use someone new."

" Why Lo is not serious about the management of RaHasiYa, Lo's company is very big Lo. Why don't you try Rizal to be Lo's assistant "

Jimmy looked at Bara, "he's Lo, why don't you just make him an assistant?"

" That's the problem, I don't want my friend to be my subordinate, but he needs his job already retired and there are still two younger siblings who still need education costs.he refused my help."

" Gini, I'm right I have to be serious about RaHasiYa. We gather in RaHasiYa, I want to show off the beautiful canteen RaHasiYa same Lo "

" Okay, tomorrow afternoon."

Okay." Okay."

" You guys haven't slept? " Papi joins Jimmy and Bara in the kitchen eating instant noodles.

" dry, Pi. Papi want?"

Papi shook his head "your tumben is nginep, Bar."

" This helps her make her wedding list." Answer Bara.

" Oh yes, regarding the order Zahra papi has taken care of to the company related to asking for a limited edition, Mumtaz's request has also been taken care of." 

" Seriously, Pi?  Really thanks. What Mumtaz wants is a complete and latest Apple product, Pi."

" Yes, all of Apple's latest product items are already messaged."

" Lagian-in-law Lo aji is very mumpung."

" It's not free they're geniuses, let alone Zayin's request if you know the price."

" How much, um?"

" That's the most advanced tool that's a military grab in the world, you think the lowest price of the latest military hardware, how much?"

" What must sell rice fields." Jimmy pinned Bara's head.

" TNI, do you have any?" Ask papi.

"Obviously, they knew the robot when the TNI was on duty in a weapons conflict peace mission in the middle east. The robot was able to dodge the opponent's attack and even counterattack the opponent without shutting down."

" Effective, efficient and on target promotion" Bara said

" Papi so curious see the robot. oh yes tomorrow determined meeting top 5 and RaHasiYa related to Aloya."

" Meeting at the RaHasiYa building, Pi. So that the contents of the discussion do not leak. All want the promotion of the beautiful canteen RaHasiYa."

" okay."

" I wonder how pretty the canteen is Lo's proud."

This morning Zahra woke up uninspired, wanting her to cancel a three-part date, but it was childish.

" Ma, brother go first, there's a deal." Zahra kisses mom's hand.

" it's still early this morning, brother. didn't have breakfast?"

" outside the holidays find a new atmosphere."

" Want Ayin anter, brother?"

" No, thank you for riding the bike."

Zahra kissed mom's hand while the sisters kissed Zahra's brother's hand.

When Zahra pulled out the motor

" fra." Zahra turned to make sure the caller whose voice was familiar enough to her. 

Hito stood in front of the fence with a tired look, messy hair. Hito from top to bottom can be ascertained that Hito is still wearing clothes yesterday.

Zahra approaches Hito.

" Why are you blind in the morning here?"

" Go with me."

" But, though,..." Seeing Hito's tense look Zahra resignedly followed him.

" Come on." Zahra first got into Hito's car

" Where are we going?" ask Hito

" I intended to have breakfast outside casually and breathe fresh air, but seeing your frenetic appearance mending you clean first."

" Yes, we've been to where I used to be.".

Along the way, Hito's mind splits between the road and Zahra. Several times he tried to open a chat, but he hesitated to reach his home.

" It's up, come down yuk first." Bring Hito

Zahra saw the view out the car window. " Can't I just wait in the car?"

" I wish you were down."

Zahra nodded "okay." Zahra opened the car door.

" Aren't I in your room?"

" No."

" Take a girlfriend to the room often?"

Hito shook his head "you're first."

In fact, Zahra not only entered the house of Aznan's father, but also forced Hito to come to his room. Hito is afraid Zahra is leaving.

" You wait here, I take a shower first."

Zahra waited for Hito to sit on the long sofa by the window, actually he was uncomfortable in the men's room.

After neatly Hito sat on the floor in front of Zahra under the sofa, they looked at each other with their own thoughts.

Hito looked up at Zahra who was looking down at him.

" I'm sorry, before I go home I actually want to go to your room, but meet Ziva in the lobby who says that you've come home because you didn't answer when he came to your room. I should have checked to make sure."

Ziva, again Ziva. Zahra breathed heavily.

" From this incident I thought that one day you could change your mind about your matchmaking." Hito.

" At times your feelings can also change." Hito shook quickly 

" So, who knows. So I don't think it's just grandma's blessing that's our problem, it's our feelings, too."

Hito began to panic when he realized the plot of Zahra lead to what he feared

" It hurts to realize that when I was initially convinced about our strong and unshakable feelings, Ziva was my friend who had everything above me that even she got the blessing of grandmother, Ziva, but I want to be selfish, may I fight to be the best lover for you until my last ability to survive?"

Hito speechless, he nodded "of course, we fight together."

Zahra smiled grimly to find that now she had fallen completely inside Hito.

" We're married, yeah." Hito Say

" Yes, if your whole focus is already just me. Thanks for liking me."

Hito lowered his head, knowing Zahra was already disappointed in him. All he could do was kiss the back of the hand, and drop his head on top of Zahra's.

" We're better!?"

" Are we fighting?"

" It's not physical, but it's bathy and it hurts a lot."

" Thank God it hurts too." Sarkas Zahras.

Hito clucked," ck, I'm sorry."

" I'm sorry too. Ud yuk down not good as om and aunt."

" Why so much of a hurry."

" Eh, it's still early in the morning what the world of a beautiful girl said early in the morning was already in the room of a man who wasn't her mahram" Zahra left who followed Hito with a sullen face.

" Please it's conditioned face, mas. Let me guess kdrt again."

In the dining room turned out to be Edel and his little family, he was shocked to see Zahra at his house in the morning.

" Loh, Zahra is here. They're married, ma."

" Amiinn." Say Hito, mama, and papa Aznan

Zahra kissed the hands of Edel and Heru.

" This sister, sister, wants a pretty girl in her room in the morning."

" What the hell is the answer. Most of the research is." Replied by Brother Edel.

" I think." Said Hito who got a spoiled splash on his shoulder from Zahra. His parents just shook their heads.

" Hito, don't forget this morning you have to pick up Zivara Husain at his house." Sri's grandmother spoke without further ado when entering the house

" Sorry, grandma. Brother Hito this morning left with me." Zahra kissed Grandma Sri's hand.

Since deciding to fight, he no longer hesitated to behave. For him there is no longer holding back his attitude or condolence, now is the time to act according to heart so that there is no regret.

granny Sri was shocked "You, why are you here?"

" Yes reasonable, ma. She's my future ghost." Said papa Aznan who got a sharp glance of Sri's grandmother.

" Basic shameless nyamperin men, good women are disamperin not nyamperin.kayak Zivara Husain." Sri's grandmother's sharp words managed to knock out Zahra's ego, but she was tepis.

" I was the samperin Ara, so Ara made it here." Hito Say

" Well what? You now pick up Ziva, he's your future wife"

" No interest, make Fatio's grandfather. Come on, let's eat, it's still morning."

" Don't let grandma eat one table with her." Grandma Sri back out of the house, actually she was afraid Hito would vent his anger.

Hito glanced at Zahra researching Zahra's look at Grandma's insults.

" I'm sorry, for what Grandma said." Mama said.

" It's okay, if not judes isn't his kayak grandmother." They laughed at hearing those words.

" Sister, marry the Zahra immediately" said Edel

" Can't you, at home again busy preparing for Tia's wedding."

" Huh, seriously you? Are you married to Aunt Sandra?"

" No, but Jimmy still wants to marry Tia."

" is their relationship not sanctioned by Sandra?" ask mama

Zahra shook her head "no, Tan."

Edel clapped his hands tightly. " Great also Atma Madina absurd that one firm stand. When's marriage?"

" Lacking to know, he said after the semester, whether the semester. Brother when to go home, have a neighbor near one go mulu kayak have no neighbors."

" By the same way your future husband, why nugasin bebeb ayang to foreign mulu." Rutuk Edel's.

" Marriage capital, yank." Speak from Hito.

" Who marries, who's tired."

" Here you go, come home this. It's just ordinary." Omel Hito's.

" Pa, can't jedotin brother-in-law to the wall so that his brain slide." Pantyhose Heru.

" Please, he has high insurance, Zahra quickly you marry him so you can get his life insurance money." Papa.

" Oh, I'm tempted. Om Heru, please..." Zahra shifted away a little from Hito."

" Ara, what the hell are you." Hito pulls back Zahra approaching him.

" Hahahah, afraid he's being tipped off for real." Ledek Edel who got a hard news from Hito.

" Aaawws, what the hell's playing a prank." Edel returned the story, but failed to make edel upset and chase hito who took refuge behind the tiny body of Zahra who stood resigned to his body to be a shield for both.
