Ai, Love Me
Eps 63, Mr. Abdi's Defense

“yesterday night, exactly at 9 pm. I was given the task of sending some food for donation to the victims of the forest fire in the village of Engkobappe that almost burned down the entire house. I also intend to leave at midnight so that the road becomes quiet and I do not need to be stuck behind another car in the toll. Precisely at 12 pm, I was really sleepy, so I decided to buy coffee at the stall and smoke some of my cigarettes there while hanging out with my friend who became a bus broker. I hung out for a few minutes at the bus stop and intended to leave at 1 a.m. But suddenly, there was a boy who was in a state of breath that was not bored asking us both about the bus that left at night. The boy was Johan. In the evening it was so cold that the rain which was a little so heavy brought him to the bus stop just to get to his destination. And I replied that Restu's bus was a bus that left at night. But unfortunately, Johan was late to get on the Restu bus because it was five minutes late before the bus left”

“I asked him where Johan was going and he replied that he was going to a village called Engkobappe. I'm sure it wasn't a coincidence but fate that forced me to give Johan a ride. At that moment, I gave her a ride and she looked so happy and happy. We leave at 1pm until 3:30pm. Once there, I parked it to the village office building. I let Johan deal with the four elders while me and the volunteers there hauled the groceries from the pick-up car. A few minutes later, after I had finished transporting all the food items, I intended to leave them in this village. But my gut tells me there's nothing good about me doing that. Therefore, I prefer to coffee together with the volunteers there”

“a few minutes after that, Johan came out along with the four elders who were in the village. Johan left along with the chairman, deputy, treasurer and secretary of the village. Not sure what Johan was talking about in the building, but for sure, Johan invited the elders to do what Johan wanted. In the cold night and the heavy and heavy rain, Johan and the four elders wore raincoats while carrying matches, firecrackers, flashlights and also a pair of daggers and keris”

“i don't know what they're going to do, but I saw them walking away from that village office building. From a distance, I saw the five of them scattered towards different forests and I did not know what they were going to do. After a few minutes passed, from the building that was a fair distance away from the forest, I heard like firecrackers exploding together. It seemed, it was dozens of firecrackers that were detonated directly. I do not know the exact number, which is certain firecrackers exploded simultaneously and in a row”

“several minutes after the firecrackers exploded, the four oldest men carried the bodies of several people they considered to be indiscriminate loggers. With the condition of two legs that perforated due to stabbing, blood poured as long as they walked. If you count, it may be more than 30 people. At that time, they went back and forth, into the forest, into the building, into the forest again, and into the building again just to hold the loggers. At that time I was a little worried and anxious about Johan's situation and thought why Johan did not come back. Until in the end, the four of them managed to bring Johan along with two men in a state of face that was so severe bloodstains”

“akupun asked the chairman everything about what happened and what Johan did. Therefore, the chairman and the other elders did not intend to cover up the facts and tell them honestly. They said Johan had known about the logging since Johan was inside the house. Somehow Johan could know that there would be logging, but for sure, the reason Johan went to the village was none other than to protect the trees in the forest from the random loggers. Even Johan was willing to pay me 1 million rupiah just to be able to speed and get to the destination quickly. The chairman also said that in fact, they do not know what about the logging of the forest. And it is impossible for outsiders let alone Johan who is from the city to know it”

“the chairman also said that Johan was found unconscious hugging a tree on the other side of the forest. Johan hugged the tree beside the lake and was next to the charred wooden house. I don't know what Johan is doing, but Johan seems to be hugging the tree like the tree is human. After counting, the chairman managed to fight 6 loggers, the deputy melwan 7 loggers, the treasurer against 5 loggers while the secretary pack against 7 loggers. On the other hand, Johan who was in the middle of the forest against 12 people alone along with the leader who carried a gun. Coupled with 2 more people who were near the tree that Johan was hugging ”

“morning, at that time, the elders believed that Johan was unconscious and could be said to have fainted. But for some reason, suddenly Johan was able to wake up at an hour that was still so early. Johan woke up in a bad condition. Even Johan did not remember if he had been unconscious by hugging a tree. Johan woke up at 5 a.m., where it should have been the Ramaja children who managed to beat 14 men alone felt exhausted and fell asleep for a very long time. The reason, Johan was unconscious at 4 am but Johan woke up at 5 am. It was an unreasonable break where Johan could not rest his body for a while. Even then, in the morning Johan invited the children in the village to play near the tree where Johan hugged the tree”

“until we intend to go home, we say goodbye to them and then leave the village. I saw from the middle glass, Johan did not stop to put on a happy smile. The look on his face that was very happy when he defeated the forest loggers who would damage the village where his birth was really obvious. Even the way he talks is different. Johan was so excited and with a high tone of voice. It's a lot different from the Johan I met when we first met at night at the bus” stop

“my friend, Surya will tell the chronology of the next incident. Surya will tell the events carried out by Johan and surya at my friend's house Surya” explained Mr. Abdi with length.

“like what you have heard yourself. Johan intends to save his village forest alone. If we hear it, we will laugh out loud because we already know, how a weak child from birth against an adult man. However, today, Johan proves and silences us all that Johan can do things that even I cannot do”

“pak Abdi and Johan also came to my house because Mr. Abdi intends to visit me because I just returned from the hospital. At that time, Mr. Abdi gave a coffee card he had brought from the village. He also said he was getting an unknown passenger. Hearing that, I was a little suspicious of what my friend, Mr. Abdi has done.”

“however, it seems Johan is really angry about the slap. Johan kicked me, it could even be said that when we had a fight inside the house, I lost badly to Johan. True true can not be trusted” explained uncle Surya.

“no way, Johan will never be able to fight his closest person” said Emilia with a sharp gaze.

“i will never blame you if you don't believe me. I just need to give you evidence. The living room where the two of us had a fight had been recorded by the CCTV camera of the front neighbor of the house. Therefore, I asked the CCTV footage from my neighbor to record it and then sent it to me. I will show you how ferocious Johan you are when angry” said Uncle Surya gave a cellphone containing CCTV footage of his.

They were all in a hurry and urged just to see the fight between Johan and uncle Surya. They see so clearly how Johan fought and defeated uncle Surya. A true unbelievable thing where Johan who had such a weak body defeated a grown man a policeman.

They were really surprised by what happened to Johan. They assume that Johan has crossed the line and must be punished. However, Johan attacked the person who was about to reprimand him. And that was a mistake Johan made.

“sorry, I have attacked uncle Surya” Johan said with a sobbing.

“yaahh, that's okay. Just calm. I just bit my tongue. Because of your garage, I became difficult to eat drink” said uncle Surya a little laugh.

“do you guys not lie?” ask the mother to Johan, Abdi sir and Surya uncle.

“not” answer them all at the same time.

“hmm, then. Johan, come mamah into the room” firmly the mother walked to Johan's room which was upstairs.

“baik” replied Johan wiping his tears.
