"Love Story" BELLE FILLE
BAB - XLV Friendship

That day Rudi and Major Sugeng had a very serious conversation in the Major's office.

In addition, their meeting is also a reunion for school periods that have not met for a long time.

Now Rudi who runs his profession as a journalist is arguably already senior because he has been able to take news from abroad where he is currently assigned in a conflict country class Afghanistan.

Similarly, Major Sugeng who has carried out toritorial duties both domestically and abroad has taught him as one of the senior middle officers.

Time passed by and the day was shown around 13:14 p.m.

After lunch, Rudipun said goodbye to Major, his schoolmate.

"Alright, if so I say goodbye first" said Rudi, "maybe you still have work again, as well as me" continued Rudi again while standing and from his seat.

"Well, may kiya always be a good friend and always be able to work well together for Indonesia!" said the Major while extending his hand to shake hands.

With a happy smile between the two, he finally walked out of the room to resume his work that day.

Kinggg.kringgg.....

Rudi's cell phone rang.

"Hallo.." said Rudi raised the phone call.

"Hmm.sorry dear, it seems like today I can't meet you" said Rudi.

"Well, tomorrow I'll call you back!" kilah the girl.

"Okey.., now I'm on the road again, maybe later we can connect again" said Rudi who was in a taxi.

"okay!" the girl replied, "You're careful on the road, aren't you?" said the girl back "may God take care of you" "Bye.." The girl then turned her phone down.

Rudi looked smiling at the girl's words earlier.

Hmmmmm...., taking a few deep breaths, Rudi continued his journey towards his inn.

The taxi carrying Rudi finally arrived at his inn, the taxi went straight into the courtyard of the inn.

Rudi immediately got off and paid the taxi fare.

He walked towards the second floor of the inn, where his bedroom was with Rio the Dutch journalist.

In the second floor lobby, Sherly and Zuridah were sitting together.

"Hi Rudi.." call Sherly in a slightly screaming voice.

The Dutch journalist waved his hand calling Rudi.

Rudi immediately turned his head towards them and walked towards that place.

"Hello.., looks like you've done a lot of work today" Sherly asked.

"True, I'm new from the Indonesian Army peace military camp" replied Rudi.

"Do you want a drink?" Sherly.

"All right" answered Rudi.

The waiter..!!

Sherly called a waiter.

"Please prepare black coffee for this master" Sherly told a male servant.

"You ordered me coffee?" said Rudi.

"Yes, I know, 'cause you're happy with coffee!" sherly said with a smile.

Rudi just smiled thinly while putting his body leaning on the chair.

"Where's Rio?" rudi said, "I didn't see it" he continued.

"He's out" Sherly replied.

A moment of silence and quiet.

"Drink first and you can eat, too" Sherly said. "I saw your face so tired today". Sherly continued with a sweet smile.

Rudi nodded his head, and then devoured the Chaloo.

Sherly smiled looking at Rudi while pulling a cigarette and let out her smoke from the corner of her lips.

While Zuridah just smiled did not say much.

After eating, Rudi took a cigarette belonging to Sherly and then lit it.

"What about you today?" ask Rudi.

"I'm fine" Sherly replied, "i just finished my job today with Zuridah" he said.

"Oh yeah?" keep Rudi.

"Zuridah helped me broadcast today, so that he wouldn't always be in the room" Sherly continued.

"Are you not afraid to go out?" rudi asked Zuridah, "What if you meet the criminals who hurt you yesterday?" said Rudi back.

"Calm down, he's fine!" sambar Sherly

Zuridah just smiled

"You mean?"ask Rudi.

"Yes, they will no longer be looking for Zuridah", "because the place that hired him yesterday has been closed by the police" Sherly said.

Hmmmm... Rudi nodded his head.

"So right now, he's coming with me on the job" Sherly said.

"If so, great!" answer Rudi.

The atmosphere is calm again.

Rudi sipped his black coffee on the table.

"What will you do next?" ask Rudi.

"Hmmm.as usual, send news to the editor!" he said with a smile.

"Alright, I stay first" said Rudi, "I want to clean my body.and, thank you for the teraraktirnya!" continue with a smile.

Then Rudi immediately passed leaving them

"Okey.." Sherly replied with a smile.

...****************...

The next day at around 9:16 am, there was a sudden explosion in the eastern part of the city.

Rudi and his Dutch press friends immediately headed to the location to get news information.

Oh ternya this is the terror of suicide bombings that occur, said Rio.

It is true, it was a suicide bombing terror attack carried out by the rebels.

Someone blew himself up in a sedan near a police checkpoint.

It is not yet known how many casualties, because the place is still fitted with the yellow line "Police line".

It looks like Rudi and his journalist friends are busy to get the information.

Ambulances came to lift the victim.

Rudi still continues to search for information in the vicinity of the place.

Meanwhile, Sherly and Rio were doing a live broadcast to cover the event.

So also Zuridah who joined them was busy helping to get information and live broadcast it to television in the Netherlands.

The atmosphere is still gripping, the army is still busy to and fro securing the area.

Black smoke still soared into the air.

There was still a burning car in the area.

Perhaps it was from the car that the source of the explosion occurred, Rudi thought in his heart.

This is the terror of the bomb that has happened so many times in this city.

Maybe this time their target is the police guard post, because near the post is a car suspected of carrying the bomb exploded.
