AISYAH FORTITUDE

Today Joe and Edward are looking for information about Anggie's whereabouts. There are several headquarters belonging to Bram as his hiding place. Joe and Edward have contacted his friends and the police to help with the ambush of Bram and his men as the big mobster who is already a DPO. The police advised not to be rash and seek information with details. Just made an arrest on Bram and his accomplice.
The risk for Joe and Edward is to be arrested for being part of the Bram gang or the worst possibility is to die. Joe and Edward don't care about it all, for Joe, Anggie's life and his baby are all that matters. And for Edward, helping Joe to get back on the right track was enough.
"Edward, if I don't survive. I'm asking for Anggie and my son, love my son like your own son. Marry Anggie so he's not alone in his life. Give him a good living. I still have some effort that you can manage, and do not get tangled with bad things like me." said Joe Lirih. His eyes were red holding back the sadness and pain in his heart.
Edward just stared at Joe softly.
"Why do you talk like that. You have to be sure that everything will be okay. Don't you want to wait for Anggie to give birth and hold your baby." said Edward quietly.
"That's not what you need to ask, surely that's what I expected isn't it? I want to be with Anggie and my kids and live in the happiness of my little household." Joe said softly.
"The board must be sure of everything. You do not believe in Allah SWT" said Edward reminded.
"I never prayed Edward. I never went to the mosque, maybe I forgot to pray. My business is illegal, does Allah SWT still want to accept my repentance." asked Joe softly to Edward.
Instantly Edward looked at the Mosque in front of him, and saw the crowd around the courtyard of the Mosque.
"Bang Joe, it's our mosque to pray first yuk" said Edward invited Joe to pray at the Mosque.
"But I can't Edward, I've forgotten how to pray" Joe said slowly.
"Just follow the movement with the person in front of him" Edward explained.
Joe just nodded his head in a soft sign of understanding.
After praying at the mosque, Joe and Edward passed a stand for blood donation. Today Joe was moved to contribute his blood to people in need.
"Good day, will you donate your blood? We just need AB+ blood. Because there's one patient we really need" one nurse told Edward and Joe.
"My blood is AB+." said Edward briefly.
"I'm not AB+. We better go to the hospital, donate our blood to the patient" Joe told Edward.
"Oh sure can. Go ahead, the hospital is near here, the end of the road turns right" the nurse explained.
Joe pulled Edward's arm straight to the hospital.
"What's Bang Joe, you look panicked" asked Edward briefly when he saw Joe's nervous and anxious face.
"Come Edward. There's a feeling of guilt towards someone and I don't know how he's doing right now" Joe said. His face was full of sweat.
"What exactly is this Bang?" ask Edward slowly. While looking at Joe who still looks angry.
Joe finally recounted the incident a few days ago that he experienced. The misfiring ended the fact against the person who was shot.
Joe's explanation is very detailed and very clear. But the look on his face was so gloomy and riled up after telling the story.
"Aren't you happy to avoid that disaster?" ask Edward slowly.
"Do you not have the heart to say that I should be happy and happy but above the suffering of others? That's howyou mean? Do you never think if the man has a wife and children, then how their next life will be. Yes if the man is healed, if the man dies or is disabled? Hows it? Who will make a living? Who will pay for treatment in the hospital?" joe said a little annoyed by Edward's comments which he said had no conscience.
"Then what do you want? Looking for the man in every hospital, then give the money and finance the hospital treatment until he recovers? or provide educational costs up to a high level of education for their children? or give capital to an abandoned wife in order to fight to support her family? or how?" ask Edward slowly.
"I will do my best, however much I owe the man my life" Joe said slowly as he walked to the hospital.
Arriving at the hospital, Joe and Edward search for information about patients who need blood. Under the pretext of wanting to donate his blood while looking for information about the whereabouts of the man who was accidentally shot.
But all that was revealed, the man who was shot was a man who was in need of blood at this time.
"How can I be grateful for all this. My happiness right now is to find this man" Joe explained.
"That's all thanks to the intervention of Allah SWT, we must be sure. So also with the problems we face, all must have an end," said Edward slowly.
That day Joe had already given his blood to Baihaqi. There were three bags of blood already stored for Baihaqi. When the blood was taken, Joe's mind soared toward thinking about the state of Anggie and the baby he was carrying.
Edward had been pensively accompanying the dreamy Joe.
"What are you thinking Bang?" edward asked quietly as he stared fixedly at Joe's closed eyes.
"I remember Anggie, and I think about Anggie and my baby, how he's safe right now. I'm afraid that Anggie is in danger, especially Bram is after me, of course, after Anggie and my baby" said Joe.
His life seemed to want to be stopped, already unable to with all these tests.
"After this, I'll look for the whereabouts of Anggie" Edward said.
"I trust you all" said Joe softly.
After donating his blood, Joe and Edward return to the inn and seek information about Anggie's whereabouts.
In that dark barn, Anggie fasted for two days because he was not given food and drink. Her increasingly distended stomach, and the movement of her increasingly weakened baby immobilized in her stomach made Anggie a little worried and anxious.
The little baby should be given adequate and good nutrition, not even have to fast like this.
Anggie rubbed his stomach slowly and cried out inwardly.
'Forgive Mama, Son. Mama can't give her the best for you. Survive all Mama, Anggie's inner self in her heart.
