Bound Mumtaz
Chapter 52. Fire Replied With Water

Arriving at Jimmy's workroom on the sixth floor, without further ado Mumtaz approached Ibnu who was sitting on the sofa.

" Nu, Lo check who owns this number." Mumtaz threw his cell phone at Ibnu, and sat down beside him

Ibnu soon got what he was looking for.

" Number on behalf of Divanya Larasati, UAM student, seventh semester economics faculty. From the report of the last hour trip GPS he was in the campus environment, continue to the mall in front of it, and headed to the house area kali brick on behalf of Raihan Husain, Raihan, the father of Riana Husain, and headed for his house."

" so it's them." Mumtaz

" Why?" Daniel asked confusedly.

" Sicily calls me if the number sends a photo to Lia's phone when I fuck Riana up to the front mall."

" Mum, I heard from the BEM boy he's been with Lo for a long time, Lo know that?" Yuda said, Mumtaz shook his head

" You don't realize all the attention he's been paying to Lo all this time?" Ask Yuda

Mumtaz shook his head "is he the same attention I am?"

Yuda throws an oversized paper at Mumtaz "it's a lunch he always brings to Lo when there's a BEM meeting." Mumtaz was silent.

" Ordinary, the provisions are also eaten by rame-rames."

" This, this is the ugly habit the four of you don't pay attention to the surroundings." Radit.

" Why watch out if it doesn't matter." Said Daniel.

" Yes this is the result, Si Mumtaz does not know that anyone intends to damage the relationship between him and Sicily."

" Lo also have to be careful Niel, I hear the Diva also likes Lo." Yuda.

" Diva, who?"

" Seriously you don't know Diva?" Haikal asked, Daniel nodded.

" He who nempelin Lo mulu before the four nongol piles in the campus."

Daniel frowned to remember, but he could remember nothing. He shook his head "much of my nempelin fits they know I'm Birawa's heir."

" Mum, Lo from now on must pay more attention to Riana." Radit

" Why, rather than watching him mending me pay attention to Sicily."

"  I know according to Lo the relationship is the most important two people who run it, but do not forget the outside conditions will also affect the relationship Lo unless Lo tempelin keep Sicily for 24 hours every day. For example, now, try if Sicily doesn't call Lo, do you know about this? But surely Sicily's feelings aren't all right." Radit is at length.

" ck, ribet. Why is that my demen girl."

" The only way to declare your relationship."

" I mean I made that announcement." Mumtaz Sarkas

" No, that's not the time either." Cranky Radit.

" Mum, Lo news with Riana Rame in BEM wa group there is a photo as well" Yuda said.

" It's time for you to act." Radit.

" Lo's onion, Dit." 

" Yud, Lo straightin what is the point of wa group for, this is all unfaithful ingredients." Jimmy said

" Mum, Lo read Riana's comments, her comments led people's opinion that you have something special like that." Rizal.

" Aren't you opening a group?" Tanya Radit, who saw Mumtaz the henchman with the paper she was reading. Mumtaz shook his head, Radit patted the eel.

" Open, now. If you care about Sicily. He's a member of the group." Desperate Radit.

Mumtaz opened the group, not long ago open he was annoyed, no matter what he typed with caps lock

"GUE BETWEEN RIANA IS JUST SAMPLE MALL DOANG BECAUSE NO ONE WANTS TO NGANTER HIM. THERE'S NOTHING TO MENTION, I'M NOT INTERESTED IN RIANA. RIANA, HAVE YOUR FRIEND SPREAD THIS NEWS A RESPONSIBILITY, IF I DON'T TAKE ACTION. YOU TAKE CARE OF MY LOVER'S FEELINGS; SICILY PRADAPTA. I LOVE YOU, SICILY." He posted to the group.

" Jingan, Muy, Ampe Lo's side." Ibnu.

" Ribet, Nu, if there's a lot of typo. You guys reposted my comments. Watch it not." Mumtaz said to friends.

" The group immediately after Lo commented, Mum." Rizal

" I'm sure this is a photo not just in this group doang, considering the Diva's son's press club." Haikal

" Nu, repost my comments on every college social media, or on every cell phone of a UAM child. Ishh, feel my artist." Jengah Mumtaz's.

The companions shook their heads in the Anti-mainstream way of Mumtaz.

" Of, done!!!!" Ibnu.

" Have closed the love case. How come you guys have studied the report I shared?" Ask Ibnu who was possessed by the others.

" Are we really going to have a meeting with those conglomerates?" Ask Ubay.

" Yes, Lo's task is more difficult as Bara's assistant who must communicate with the assistant higher-ups RaHasiYa considering that RaHasiYa officials are lazy to follow business trends, but have businesses, especially Atma Madina and Birawa." Ibnu.

" I value it here only Husain has a weakness of trade secrets." Yuda.

" Yes, plus later they're in Aloya's terror for cooperation. Muy, Husain called me to propose cooperation." Jimmy.

" Pending it first. I'm monitoring Zivara's movements again." Mumtaz

" Hartadraja proposed an extension of the cooperation that will end later this year." Jimmy said.

" It's still a long time, pending. We focus on tomorrow first. The discussion is over, I'm going to sleep." Mumtaz exited the room followed by another without protest that saw Mumtaz's mood plummet.

" Morning allaaa" a cheerful Sicilian greeting entered the dining hall

" Morning, again happy." Ask Dominiaz.

" It's normal, mom, today it's like Lia's coming home the night of Pema's preparation."

" Picked up by Mang Dadang?"

" No, go home as you like."

" Cie, who already has a boyfriend."

Ledek Daddy's.

" What the hell, Dad." Sicily shy.

*****

" Old." Said Hito while running his car

" I'm sorry, it's a hurry too. At home again a lot of people so talk first."

" I have a morning meeting."

" Yes, you know. Next time if in 30 minutes I don't show up you stay. Than to get so angry." Zahra.

" Where to go."

" If you don't have the heart to be angry, I'm sure that the Ziva you're waiting for will not be angry." Zahra was getting angry.

" Not anywhere, anywhere else I've been waiting for him."

" Where do I know. You won't pick me up."

" It's not that I don't want to, but I have a morning meeting, the same meeting your sister asked her. You're on the phone not active."

" My phone's broken, I haven't bought a cell phone yet."

" Why didn't you buy yesterday?"

" Forgot."

Hito breathed deeply. Zahra was uncomfortable. It was stormy early in the morning.

" I'm going right away." Hito said as soon as he arrived at the hospital lobby.

" Yes, what do you want to do again, wait for Ziva!?" 

Sighing "excuse me, mispronounced, I mean not to go to your room."

Zahra opened the car door "be careful, it's better to be late than to be a hospital patient." Before you go out and close the door.

" he.cie... Now mah dianter, I say thank you Lo same me." Zivara said as she passed by in the lobby.

" Why?"

" If it wasn't for my case, Lo would still be kind and unselfish, have a girlfriend to be used to be a personal driver."

Zahra did not respond, she did not like Ziva's argument.

" Why do you follow me?"

" Want consul, my patient is seven months pregnant and I want a normal birth even though he has a history of heart weakness."

" The rich?" 

" Yes, why?"

" Kayak Lo, typical selfish and haughty. Everything's full." Sarkas Zahras.

Zivara just clucked no like.

" Assalamualaikum's. My beloved neighbor." Brother Edel entered the house by shouting while holding a toddler.

" Wa, alaikumsalam." Answer Zayin. And kissed Edel's hand.

" Look, this is who's really handsome." Ask brother Edel.

" Sister, the time to the future ghosts themselves forget." Reply Tia who followed Zayin.

" Huh, is this Zayin?, a very handsome. Deck, look at your future priest." Said Edel to the boy who understood nothing.

" This, you're carrying your future wife, you're snobs PDKT." Edel gave Adelia into Zayin's hands, which Zayin accepted by force

" Mahaha...." Laughter Tia blaring.

" Lo's quiet, I swear it's getting my pedophile." Zayin

" You've booked Zayin, Del," asked one mother."

" Yes, from Adel it's still in the stomach."

" Yaaa, first my dong." 

" Jeng, who knows, try first." Another mother was pumping.

" Eitt can't, fellow neighbors are forbidden to cornering." Ban Edel's brother.

" You guys are. Zayin his aja cuek duck. You guys are in a fuss."

" Aida ma'am, these are five kinds of cookies." Said Ms. Neneng, RT's mother.

" Yes, it's just a treat at home, ma'am."

" What food?"

" My plan is to cater."

" Use catering bu kankos only, the cuisine is endul. Let me bring the tester." Said Ms. Erna, RW's mother.

" I'm talking to her Tia."

" Assalamu, lilikum." Greetings from outside.

" Wa, alaikumsalam, uh Sherly's mom. Let's go in, bother coming here." Mom's pleasantries.

" Tia, this is Sherly's bude." Call mama

Tia approached Bude doubtfully and rigidly did not expect any family from Jimmy to come.

" How are you doing, manten?"

Tia kissed Sherly's bude hand "well, bude. Thank you for coming."

" What is the wedding ponakan ya dong budenya also busy."

" Let's join the others inside." Bring mom

And there's a lot more talk from the neighbors' mothers about Tia and Jimmy's wedding. The more the guests the more rame.

" I recently entered the RaHasiYa building." Said Mr. Aznan.

" Everything is riveting all technology." Timpal mr. Gama.

" From the main entrance, it's like I'm entering another world." Comment from Hazam.

" Not often, not once."

As the owners chatted, the assistants enrolled. After the registration of the owners, each accompanied by a robot in the form of a human.

" Go to the elevator." Said the robot who resembles a professional woman as a guide for guests.

" This robot is following us." Ask Mr. Aznan.

" They're robot bodyguards, every official meeting guest who comes must be escorted by a robot in anticipation of a possible threat." Papi Aryan.

" Wow. Impressive." Said mr. Gama.

They entered the elevator, astonished that there was no floor number on the elevator wall.

" The elevator will know where we're going through the retina of our eyes." The Aryan papi 

After arriving at the destination floor, the ninth floor door of the room opens automatically.

Again, they were astonished, "they can scan us as a meeting participant from the registration. If one of us is not a participant, then the door will be closed automatically."

In the room, the higher-ups of RaHasiYa had been sitting on their respective chairs.

The ninth floor is a floor that is intended for extraordinary meetings, security on this floor is closely guarded because it involves important people whose conversation objects are important and confidential.

The room is entirely glass-walled because it can function as a touchscreen hologram computer.

" Thank you for the time and opportunity you gave me, all right. We're straight to the core of the meeting." Jimmy.

Ibnu distributed some papers to each meeting participant.

" I will explain the contents of our findings that have been written on the paper you hold, Even though your assistants will have copies in their respective emails." Ibnu opened the discussion.

" Aloya, along with colleagues have dreams of breaking into the top 10 in Indonesia in this thaun. Even though they are not among the top 30 in Indonesia.

" The second sheet contained several colleagues listed as active business partners of Aloya, one of them Brotosedjo, Alexander, and Santoso. Although Santoso under the leadership of Alex Santoso decided to cooperate with Aloya not long ago." All of Ibn's explanations are also emblazoned on the holographic 3D screen before them.

" Why did RaHasiYa not allow the Hartadraja corp to cooperate with the Brotosedjo corp?" Ask Mr. Hito.

" Brotosedjo approached not only Hartadraja, but also Pradapta, and Atma Madina to cooperate in the provision of PPE products that can be sterilized with a special tool that is the theft of Rama Rugawa products from Rugawa Tekno which is currently in the process of filing a patent." 

" Brotosedjo was one of Aloya's active associates. Aloya allegedly get funds from outside companies suspected of money laundering." Terang Ibn.

" Why is RaHasiYa investigating Aloya? Ask Hazam sir

A moment of silence the friends gave each other codes," Hartadraja corp is our client's obligation to supervise any submission of cooperation from various parties who allegedly harmed clients including Brotosedjo, the company said, In the investigation of the Brotosedjo corp we found the cooperation of the brotosedjo with Aloya." Mumtaz.

" Aloya and her partner have excellent funds and facilities, but don't have big names that's why they're close to the top 5." Added Jimmy.

" What happens if Aloya manages to overtake among the top 10."

" Monetary crisis for Indonesia. They do business not with the same degree principle, but those who control their partners. Because of their funds from outside, Indonesia can be controlled by foreign parties. As an independent nation and nation we will lose sovereignty." Tukas Daniel's.

They look at each other "well, in the future we have a top 10 meeting. We hope RaHasiYa is willing to participate." Said Mr. Aznan

" Of course, we have a moral responsibility as an Indonesian nation." Jimmy.

" Before leaving this building, let us host you on the fourth floor of our canteen."  Jimmy said with a smile. Bara turned the eyeballs off guard.

The fourth floor is a cafeteria with the concept of cafe, private room restaurant, rural-style lesehan balcony.

" Wow, I thought when I mentioned the canteen, I would find the canteen as it is in general turned out to be completely different." Papi Aryan.

" You just got here, Yan?" Ask Mr. Aznan.

" Yes, usually if you want to eat delivered directly to the Alpha room."

" in addition to the existing menu, today we promote special nasi uduk. Special nasi and side dishes can be delivered." Jimmy Promo.

" Mr. Alfa, how is our offer of cooperation what have you considered?" Ask Hazam sir

Jimmy glanced at Mumtaz "we're still learning it sir."

" I hope you will answer soon."

" We'll work on it soon."

Jimmy's promotion of Rizal's seat was quite successful, Rizal got an order to sit from Dominiaz as 50 packs and 10 packs of om Damar.

\*\*\*\*

Mumtaz sat alone in an empty lecture hall while massaging his temple.

" Mumtaz, can I use the group duties of Mr. Hamid for the race on behalf of Alatas architecture?"

" Where's the race?"

" Senayan, indoor tennis."

" Level?"

" Okay, it's not really an academic competition, but an auction for a housing project from one of the largest property companies in the world. If we get through the results we'll be on an exclusive contract by them, my company needs this."

" Okay, but my name is included. If I graduate I'll also be Lo's partner."

" Of course."

" Lo play to my house, I've got a better makeover for Lo."

" Seriously?, okay I'm calling Lo again."

" yes, I go first on Pema's business." Mumtaz left the room

Mumtaz was tired all day, he wanted to go home and sleep with his weak steps to the parking lot

" Mumtaz, my anter yes." call Riana who ran over to him.

sighing heavily "just like everyone else."

" no one can." Riana's whining doesn't affect Mumtaz

" let Lo's friend who followed you yesterday Anter Lo go home."

Riana riled up wrong behavior "seriously, I don't know what you're talking about."

" It's up, Rom, pinch the bike again." Romli threw the keys to the bike.

From inside the Sicilian campus running to catch up with Mumtaz in the parking lot, he called Mang Dadang so as not to pick him up because he came home with Mumtaz who had not been picked up on the phone.

When he arrived at the motorbike parking area his gaze was fixed on Mumtaz and Riana who had been wearing the helmet he used to wear. The smile that was originally present on his lips now disappeared.

" Sister Mumtaz," he cried, but inaudible to Mumtaz, Sicily rushed to run, but it was too late that the bike had left the campus area.

Sicily stood dumbly analyzing the incident earlier, Ibn who saw him calling Mumtaz, but was not picked up.

Ibn patted the shoulder of the Sicilian who was crying "I take you, let's go home." without saying Sicily nodded.

Daniel, watching everything from a distance, called Mumtaz

Mumtaz who was in the middle of the road pulled his motorbike because the phone had not stopped vibrating.

" why?" riana asked closer to Mumtaz

Mumtaz took off his helmet "drag, there's a phone." he saw who called him, and picked him up

" Where's Lo? ask Daniel as soon as the phone connection is lifted

" I'm on the road, why?"

" *B*areng Riana ?."

" Yes." Yeah."

" *A*njim Lo, Sicily See you. He called Lo, but not Lo gubris. He's crying."

Mumtaz was stunned, his mind blank. As soon as he noticed he was hanging up the phone.

" down."

" what?" why?" riana asked confusedly still sitting on the bike

" DOWN," snapped Mumtaz

Riana got off the bike out of fear, and opened her helmet. Mumtaz took the helmet Riana was holding.

" are you seriously putting me here?" riana did not accept.

Without a word Mumtaz turned on the motor, and left Riana dumbfounded.

With speed above the average Mumtaz broke through the crowded street, he ignored the swearing of other road users. Mumtaz thought only of Sicily and its sadness.

****

" Assalamu'alaikum." greet Sicily with a lethargic voice and puffy eyes

" Wa, alaikumsalam." replied mommy received a helping hand from the Sicilian who kissed her hand.

Sicily hugged her mommy tightly, she cried again in the arms of mommy who herded her body into the living room that contained Daddy and her brother.

They looked at each other asking mommy who was twisting her shoulders. Mommy carries the Sicilian sitting on the sofa opposite Daddy.

" why? the feeling was good this morning, who was it?"

Instead of answering, Sicily cried loudly. Make others confused.

" Sorry, sir, madam. There was a Mumtaz looking for the Sicilian lady." said Bi Nijah, the butler of the house.

" Tell him Lia's not home." Isak Sicily.

" I'm sorry, non. mang Maman told you that miss is home."

" Where is the guy?"

" It's in the living room, non."

Sicily furiously met mumtaz followed by her family.

Mumtaz looked at the Sicilian who stood upright, "here, sit down." said calmly Mumtaz patting the spot beside him.

" NO WAY. " Daddy, Mommy, and Dominiaz patted the eel.

" Sorry, I swear. I didn't hear you call me. Why didn't you tell me you started field inspection?"

" I've called you many times, but you didn't pick up, you realize not as long as we're always in a relationship I never call you first. You are busy, me too. If indeed you don't like me breaking up first I just walk the other way." cerocos Sicily

" I'm sorry, but it's not the fact that the story is the same yesterday, the difference is that I dropped him in the middle of the road after receiving a call from Daniel if you see us, and you cry. I turned right back here." Mumtaz explained.

An angry Sicilian walked out of the house and threw the helmet in the front of the bike.

Everyone is shocked. " I don't want to wear that helmet anymore, it's already on him. You also promised not to piggyback other women besides the four of us and your family, but what, you screwed him with your bike."

Calmly Mumtaz approached Sicily holding both shoulders and turned the body of Sicily facing the motor "about the helmet, well. we buy a new one. about the motor, you before angry first look at the motorbike, just angry."

Sicily saw the motor parked in the courtyard of the house "This..," she said, while looking at Mumtaz.

" Yes, this is not my bike, but Romli's. Tomorrow's just turned around."

Sicily was silent, she still wanted to be angry, but did not know what else to be angry about.

" I don't like you fucking other girls."

" Will no more."

" From now on you should call me often."

" I try, I can't talk on the phone."

" You like me, don't you?"

" Just yesterday I announced in the group that I love you."

The Sicilian stood looking down misbehaved, "well, angry?"

" It still wants to, but forget what else to be angry at."

Mumtaz chuckled, "well, I thought I'd go home."

Mumtaz approached the Sicilian family. "oom, Aunt, bang. said go home first, sorry the nights make a fuss." Mumtaz kissed their hands.

"Assalamualaik."

" "Wa, alaikumsalam."

Mumtaz rode his bike and stroked the top of Sicily's head before leaving the mansion.

" Dad, is that how he's doing? cry aja kejer." grunts mommy.

" it looks like Mumtaz is ready to take control of the Hot Italian blood of Sicily" Dominiaz said.
