Because Amen is the Same
106. Paperback

Mami Ray immediately went to her son's room, since Ray left there was no sound heard from the room, like an uninhabited silence.

"God" hysterically Mami Ray, "Pi... Papi."

"Why are you guys?" Mami Ray asked as she shook Gladis' shoulder, "Where is this?, there's no way to leave Gladis alone in the room" he continued.

Mami Ray's panicked voice made Gladis wake up slowly from his stupor, he opened his eyes slowly.

"Mommy" call.

"Yes, are you conscious?" the relief in his heart saw his incantation unconscious from fainting.

"We're going to the hospital" Invite Mami Ray, "Mommy is afraid, you're okay" he continued by holding Gladis' arm.

"Waduh seriously, there must be a lot of Mami asked the same doctor" said Gladis while thinking hard.

To calm his heart that was always shaken at the word hospital, he smiled first a sign of fine.

"Mi, Gladis is fine, maybe just tired, enough rest" said Gladis softly so her mother-in-law believed.

"Yes, that's what it is. Mami comes out first, call Mami if there's anything" Mami Ray's message then comes out after Gladis nods his head and does not forget Mami Ray closes the room door so that Gladis is restful in peace.

Her mother-in-law left, Gladis called back the thug boss as if he had never been caught up with her actions.

"I'm asking the terror of the person who was drawn, do it now" he ordered and then he turned off the phone.

He lay his body in the middle of the bed while waiting for a message from his man.

"Let's talk again" muttered Gladis again and closed his eyes for a nap this time.

Unlike Ray, he's at Alan's restaurant right now. To Alan's confusion, Ray has no evidence at all but directly accuses Gladis that the chaos in his life is the cause of him.

"Find the evidence first, Ra" Alan said.

"He's a sneaky, Lan."

Alan frowned, not understanding what his best friend was saying.

"How sly?"

"She's a two-faced woman" Ray explained again.

"That's why I said, look for evidence first."

"You think the evidence just came without being searched, sometimes you're weird as well Lan" Upset Ray then pulled his jacket out of the restaurant.

"Eh.. Wait" Call Alan as he follows Ray outside.

"It seems you don't want to help me this time, so I'm just looking for someone else" Ray said as he turned on his engine.

"By Lan's."

Alan just shook his head to see Ray's behavior, he felt Ray was easily provoked emotions lately, a little angry, a little club and worse if not heard it will just go away.

According to Alan, Ray who was not like that, the change since married to Gladis. Alan had agreed with Ray but there was no evidence so he thought it was difficult. And if it's true as his best friend said that Gladis is cunning, then the only one must act carefully so as not to be suspected, but boro-boro want to be told, eehhh just walk away.

Alan went back into his restaurant, he thought of his best friend. Who is Ray asking for help on his current predicament?, Is that person willing or not?, Or maybe pay people?. Ray's problem this time seized Alan's mind.

"Sorry sir, there's a phone call" the waiter told Alan.

"Oh, thanks."

"Together sir."

Alan answered a call from his mother.

"Wa'alaikumussalam ma'am, yes Alan at the restaurant" Alan explained in the phone and just continued his sentence, his mother again said.

"Hurry home, I take Heti and Viona's mother to the house. Tomorrow morning I plan to return in Sulawesi" he explained again.

It felt like Alan wanted to refuse but his mother said he would come back and it felt like it was very sudden.

"Mom, why all of a sudden?, not here in a few days?"Ask Alan.

"There's a little bit of a mommy shop problem there" said Nisa's mother.

"Can't be handled by others first ma'am?, quickly very behind" Alan protested like a child.

The sound of being across the phone laughed, making Alan frown, astonished by his mother. Everywhere if the child is still missing, must have delayed the flight first, this response even laugh.

"Yes, yeah. Alan is back now. Assalamualaikum" Alan relented and then turned off the phone after his mother answered his greetings.

🌺

The hour hand already showed the time for lunch, Viona as usual ordered food and immediately delivered at the boutique. This time it is a little strange, usually not wearing a mask but this time wearing a mask and even equipped with a hat, as if not wanted to be known.

Viona looked at the man from head to toe.

"Freaky-ass" Inwardly, he immediately brushed it off quickly while flapping his hands in the air.

"Maybe it's too hot outside" he said.

"How many in total?" Viona asked as she pulled out her wallet.

"As usual" he answered.

Viona frowned, her eyes looking back at the man. But the man turned his head outside as if confirming with the person outside the building.

"Sir, is this the new menu I ordered? so where might the price be the same as usual" Viona explained.

"Oh, today is free because it is a subscription" he replied and left.

"Haaa" Viona is confused, but she dismisses all her strange thoughts at this time, which she knows eating and eating.

He took the food out of a crackle bag and in the canton was a piece of paper. He was curious and opened the paper.

CALM DOWN SOON AFTER EATING

The short message was written in all capital letters, making Viona instantly keep the food away from her. The hunger disappeared instantly, after reading the contents of that piece of paper. He spread his eyes outwards, he realized that a black car had just left.

"Is that the guy?" Murmured Viona and out of the boutique running from the direction of the car at least can take a picture of his car DT.

The car was lightning fast lost from sight, "it's really fast" muttered Viona back in the boutique.

Back in the boutique, this time he called home and his own mother sent from home.

Viona did not want to think strangely about the incident earlier. He keeps away from the thought of strange events early open a boutique. He tried to be cuek.

While Gladis's errand car, told his men to push their car into a small hallway and the road was damaged.

"I think there is no small hallway and the road is broken like a gini" said the thug boss.

"It's important we're safe first boss" replied the boss' driver while the others pushed from the front. Their car was forced back, unable to turn back other than retreat.

"Aman, just afraid later DT car secretly the girl's photo, we could be fugitives" he explained to the driver and his men, he just nodded his head.

"It turns out the boss is afraid of the police" he said.

While Viona was already restless waiting for food from home never came as well, while her stomach had started a concert.

"Mama, forget it or what the hell is this" paced back and forth while calling Mother Heti.

"Assalamualaikum mam, where is the food?" ask Viona on the phone.

"Wa'alaikumussalam, mama forgot Vio, it turns out that today we were invited to eat in the apartment of mama's friend" he explained on the phone.

Viona immediately patted the eel, was trembling wait for food turned out not to be delivered.

"Keep mam, how?" Ask Viona again. It is very unlikely until his mother's friend's house immediately asked for food.

"We go there, close the boutique first tomorrow again just open" said Mother Heti again on the phone.

"Mam, I can't do it. This has been Alhamdulillah back smoothly, many time buyers will open and close" explained Viona.

"And just for today, Vio."

"I'm sorry Vio, Mom. I don't think I can go" Viona refused, but she wondered who her mother's friend was. He thought for a moment, when his eyes widened, he knew for sure Alan's mother.

"So it's true not to come?" Ask Heti's mother again to make sure.

"Yes mom, and say sorry to Alan. Honestly, I can't accept Alan as Viona's husband. Cancel my mother's intention to continue to match Vio with any man" Clearly made Heti's mother only sigh heavily across there.

"Alright, where good. Now my mom is just coming with you. Mama will send food, assalamualaikum" said her mother again.

"Thank you mam, wa'alaikumussalam."

The second phone ended, preferring to wait for food from home instead of outside messages. Be careful if anything suspicious happens.

His memory goes back to his time in terror through writing on the boutique wall, followed on the road until it was made to fall so that it ended up in the hospital and even with a nearness visited in the boutique fortunately at that time there were children who worked in Ray's workshop. Instantly Viona's shoulders shuddered in horror.

"May Allah keep away from danger, O God" said Viona and rubbed his face.
