Retaliation for the Mother
the ardent

Elsewhere Mustafa and Dono are out of town with Anto. Mustafa got the news from his social media pages. How shocked Mustafa was to see the news. He was later found to be a suspect in the murder.

"How could the police assign you as Mus's suspect?" Ask Dono wonder.

"I wonder Don too. You know from yesterday I didn't come home. And we're out of town. How'this? Like him I have to hide first until the safe state is under control. Otherwise I'll be caught as my wife's own killer." Mustafa.

"Good pity your fate Mus. What do I think about my wife and kids at home? Let's just hope they're okay, and don't look for my whereabouts" Anto said.

"Thank God I don't have a wife yet. huuff" Dono let out a riled breath.

"Then where are we going. Like her in this place is no longer safe for me" asked Mustafa.

"Like her we have to split up here. I'm going to the other island. If you are up to going where" said Anto.

"Then I will return to my home in the village" Dono said.

"How are you Mus?" Ask Anto.

"Stop it. I was also confused where else to go. My wife is dead and now I'm a police fugitive. It feels like I want to take my own life" Mustafa wrote.

"Don't Mus, if you want to come with me back to my hometown. We're gonna hide inside my house. And we're out at night" Dono bargained.

"Are you sure it'll be safe Don?" Ask Anto.

"What do you want again boss. Everything was already up and wet. That's the only place I have right now" Dono said.

"But you remember. If you get caught one day, never drag my name. The one who killed Wati was you not me. And not on my orders. Understand you" said Anto seriously.

Mustafa and Dono agree with Anto. Eventually the three of them split up in the city.

The afternoon at Alphi's house.

"Al's? You home?" Jubilee cheer from the page of Alfi.

Alfi came out in a very chaotic state. His eyes were bright with a black circle on the edge. Her lips looked dry and there was no spirit of life.

"Hey, you why is this Al?" Ask Rendi. Alfie did not answer.

"Al, you don't dissolve in dong's grief. You still got me Al." Rendi hugged Alfi's body. There was no rejection from Alfie. Because it must be admitted, in times like this the embrace of someone who can calm the wounded heart.

"Thank you ren" said Alfi broke the embrace.

"Lu must not have eaten, right? Let's go get some food out with Rendi.

Alfie nodded in his agreement. Before Exit Alfi went back inside to cleanse his body. Once in a clean and fresh taste, then Alfi went with Rendi. This time they went on a motorcycle. That's Rendi's moge. Alfi's Fu satria stayed at home.

"Yes, I can't sleep" Alfi lied. It was Alfi last night who killed the two lovebirds, Mustafa's wife. But Rendi didn't know that.

"Yes already then tonight you sleep my place alone. At home there is a gap with me. So you don't have to be afraid" bargained Rendi.

"Not to ren. I don't feel good about you. I don't want to leave that house, too, Ren. However, there are many memories of me as my mother" said Alfi sadly.

"I'm sorry I didn't mean to make you sad anymore. Well then, I won't force you anymore" Rendi added to her moge speed.

Instead of going to find food, Rendi brought Alfi to her house.

"Say you want to eat?" Ask Alfie.

"Yes we eat at my house. You know since the lizard incident at that time, I no longer want to eat outside food. Unless it is guaranteed cleanliness" explained Rendi.

"Let's go in" Rendi held onto Alfi's hand and brought him in.

"Ma?" Call Rendi.

"Eh you've come home ren. He said he wanted to go to Al-.." Mama Rendi's words stopped.

"This is the man already here ma" Rendi smiled sweetly. Alfi immediately greeted mama Rendi.

"healthy Tan?" Ask Alfie.

"Alhamdulillah healthy Al. Aunty is very sorry for the passing of your mother, Al. Sorry Aunt could not attend at that time" said Rina Mama Rendi.

"Yes Tan, it's okay." Alphi made a smile on his lips.

"Ma, there's food. I'm hungry" said Rendi to divert the conversation.

"There's dong. That new mama has cooked, eat there with Alfi. Mama wants to take a shower first" said Rina then left Alfi and Rendi.

"Let's eat." Back Rendi pulled Alfi's hand.

"Eat a lot Al. Let you get big fast" guyon Rendi.

"What's so big?" Alfie Cibir.

"Hehehe, your body I mean. So you want which one is big?" Tanya Rendi comforted.

"Whichever one can, the important thing is fun" continued Alfi. They both laughed.

Only this time Alfie could laugh after that. After Wati's departure, Alfi no longer knew the name laughter. But Rendi was able to bring back the lost laughter.
