'Ning-nong.'
Again, one of them pressed the bell. I panicked more. Want to call Mr. Zulfikar, but consciously did not hold the phone. Then realize if in this unit there is a parallel phone. But I was confused who to contact.
It seems, the parallel phone in this unit is only intended for communication between units. Because, when I tried to call my number, I couldn't connect.
I decided to call the security guard.
"Hallo, with Arif, the apartment security officer, how can we help you?"
"Sir, I'm sorry, can you come to my unit? There's a guest I don't recognize. I dare not open the door. My condition is pregnant and alone. I don't have HP," I explained.
"I'm sorry, which unit is she in?"
"In the tower, sir. Main tower" I replied. My voice started shaking.
"What?! The main tower tower?! Excuse me, is his wife's mother Zulfikar?!"
"Y-yes, sir." Despite the doubt, I still agree. In fact, what he meant might be directed at the Goddess.
"Mother stay in the unit, we'll be there."
"Okay sir, thank you. Oya, if I can, I want you to bring a female security officer. Sorry, I'm not used to talking to the opposite sex unaccompanied."
"Duh, sorry Mom. The female officer tonight has no one to look after. Hows it? Still need our help?"
"Sir, actually, I just wanted to tell my husband that there's an unknown guest. I need his permission whether the guest is acceptable. But, my phone's missing."
"Oh so? Emm, come on, is there a number I can call?"
"There's Sir."
Then I gave you Misti's number. Intentions want to give Zul sir number, but worried he would not be pleased if the number is given to just anyone.
"That's my best friend's number, sir."
"Yes, this is what I want to try to contact, later diloudspeaker in order to communicate with Mom."
Alhamdulillahot.
Misti wants to receive a call from a new number. Mr. Arif immediately raised the volume.
"From my friend? Meanin?" Sister Listi is confused.
"Sister Listi, hello! It's me, brother. Stainer."
"W-what?! What's the matter, Neng? How come your voice is so small, huh? It's not clear. Wh why? You're all right, aren't you?"
"I'm fine, brother. My HP is at Aksa's. Long story. The point is, I want to talk to Mr. Zulfikar because there are guests in the apartment. I don't recognize them, brother. But, if I don't open the door, I'm afraid it's an important guest."
"Lho 'ok can there be guests who want to go to the Director sir but do not contact the Director first? Don't open it, Neng. Afraid journalists. You calm down, just go to the room and sleep okay? I'll call the Director." Then the call from Mr. Listi was interrupted.
"The call has been switched off, ma'am. In lobby four, before entering the main tower tower tower, there is usually a visitor check. So, visiting Mother's unit, it doesn't seem like a dangerous person. In lobby four, they must have been checked."
Yes, there is a visitor examination using a metal detector, and must show an identity card.
"Good, Sir. My hope is like that. I'm not so bad, just want to be vigilant and ask my husband for permission" I explained.
After thanking you and taking down Arif's personal number, I closed the call. Then go back to the door of the unit to check their whereabouts.
The heart is beating again. They're still in front of my unit. In fact, me and Mr. Arif and sister Listi have been communicating long enough. The lady guest was talking on the phone. Two male guests were having a serious conversation.
...⚘️⚘️⚘️...
I flinch behind the door. This heart is back. My relationship with him is like inviting a lot of tempests. Yes, as a man of faith, I certainly believe in qodo and qodar.
But ... All humans have the same opportunity to determine the course of their lives.
Just like a man who commits suicide. Yes, their death in such a way was doomed, but before the angel of death came to fetch, they had been faced with a choice.
Will he choose on the path of truth by canceling his suicidal intentions? Or, instead choose the way of heresy to follow the lust and invitation of the devil and decide to commit suicide.
I was also given the opportunity to choose. Will he survive with her and share my bed with the Goddess ma'am? Or, split ....
I curled up behind the door. I miss abah and ummi.
I was the firstborn who was supposed to be a role model for the Son. But I haven't been able to set a good example for him. I also have not been able to divide abah and ummi, which exist .. I always burden them.
"Darling ... are you okay? If one day you have to live without a father, is it okay? Sorry ... seems .. Mother can not survive long with your father. Actually ... mom loved him. But ... Mother's presence like complicate his life. Even troublesome the entire extended family," I murmured as I rubbed my already obvious stomach.
'Bugh.'
From the outside in front of the unit, I heard the sound of people falling to the floor. I'm jumped. Get up and peek.
"W-what?"
My knees were shaking, I stared out with my eyes wide open while closing my lips so as not to scream.
"That's impossible. Ti-no ...."
One of the male guests who was about to meet you was already sprawled. His neck is tied to a tie. Then a knife was stuck in his chest. The man is dying, his eyes are buying. His hand was trying to remove the tie around his neck. Fresh blood flowed from the area of the knife that was stuck.
"A-astaghfirullah!!"
Although very scared and confused. But my social soul is struggling. It's impossible for me to let a fellow human being get hurt. I'm pacing around inside the unit. Immediately contact the security officer who was, but not appointed.
I had no choice but to open the door and help the man as best I could. Bismillah, I opened the door with trembling hands.
"Tu-wait, I-I'll call for help." On arrival outside I realized that two of his friends were no longer there.
"Nhhhhrk ...."
The man snorted. I woke up, immediately opening the snare on his neck. Without a second thought I opened it while continuing to recite and dress.
"A-You have to hold on. If you are a Muslim, say His name. Allahs ... Allahs ... Allah ...," persuaded me.
The snare on his neck was so strong. I have to put in extra energy. This unit in this main tower there is only one. So even if I were to cry out for help, it would be a waste.
"Prophey yeah."
It finally opened as well, but this man paled even more.
"B-Bu Dai ...." He grabbed my hand as I was about to head to the elevator for help.
"You know me? I don't know you! You who?! Say it! Who made you like this?!"
In fear, I tried to ask. Maybe there's something I can use as proof.
"I-I'm like this because mm--- wants to save your ka-kau. To-please .... Laa--ilaaha---illallaah," he said.
Then the man drooped unconscious while I was still fixated in endless confusion and fear.
"M-Mas! Bang out! Wake up!"
I shook his body. But he didn't respond. I don't care about my bloodied hands and clothes. I ran as fast as I could to the elevator.
...⚘️⚘️⚘️...
In the elevator I pressed the emergency tomobol.
"There's an ap---." Sound from the speakers in the elevator.
"Quick to the main tower tower unit! There are victims in bad condition! Hurry along!" as I was screaming and closing my eyes for fear of heights.
I don't know what floor I pressed. I pressed the origin because of the panic. My body is crying, my hands are cold.
'Tin.'
Open elevator. I immediately shouted for help to the people in front of me.
"Please sir, Mom, tolooong ...."
Samar, I saw them looking at me confused. Some dodge when they see my hands and hijab bleeding. At first I ran, but then walked on because I could not remember the shocking incident that I had just experienced.
"I-I'm like this because mm--- want to save-you ka-kau ...."
The sentence rang, then the apartment security officer ran towards me. My eyes began to blur, my legs were squeezing. Then my body just fell. But I'm sure someone caught my body. Wh who? I don't know. Dark ... forgot ....
...⚘️⚘️⚘️...
Anggraini
"You hurry to his apartment! I can't go there! Must be preskon," said the director after I called him and explained what happened to Daini.
"By leaving Daini alone! What if he's in danger?!" yell at
"I'm not that kind of person, Listi! I can't let Hanin get hurt. Before you called me, I told Mr. Sabil to stand guard in front of my unit. I'm sure they've reached the apartment by now!"
"What?!" I'm rattled. Mr. Director's words sound awkward.
"Anyways, you get there fast. I can't explain the details of the problem. But, I believe in you."
Actually, when I called the Director, my position was already in the car to Daini's apartment. I'm gas-tapping.
"Damn!" rutukla.
Behind me is an ambulance and two police cars. The route that was in line with me, forced me to pull over. It's not just me pulling over, the other car is the same.
"Issh, what's wrong?"
I returned to the wheel with a frown. I was a little annoyed with the cars. But, they do have the authority to be prioritized.
I gawk. Because, the police car and ambulance seemed to be heading to the apartment I was about to go too.
...⚘️⚘️⚘️...
My guess is correct. At the entrance of the apartment, I was intercepted by security personnel.
"Sorry ma'am, you can't go in first."
"Lho, why? I have important business, sir!"
"Sorry ma'am, the main tower area is being sterilized, no one is allowed in before it is allowed by the police."
"Main tower?! I'm going there, sir. My friend lives in the main tower tower!"
"Sorry Mom, I can't. There were already some people who also claimed to have a relationship with the residents of the main tower."
"Sir! I'm serious! I was told to come here as the Director! Do I need to show you the evidence?!"
"Please obey our rules. There's a murder case, ma'am, "he explained.
"D-PA?! Murder?!" I'm climbing. Incredibly shocked. Don't-don't ....
Without thinking, I hit the door. I can't think straight. All I have in mind is Daini. If anything happens to Daini, I can't forgive myself.
'CUBE.'
"Woy! crazy 'uh chick!" the security officer shouted while chasing my car.
In the lobby, my car got stuck back. This time by police.
"Sir Police, he claimed his friend owned the main tower unit!" Security officers came in.
"I'm a friend of Daini's, sir! I was told by Director Zilfikar to come here!" I shouted as I was forced out of the car. Two police officers blocked my hand.
"Hey! Release Sir! I'm serious! His friend! Huuu, hwaa," so I cried roaring because I imagined something bad had happened to Daini.
"Journalists are prohibited from entering, please immediately condition the TKP!" said another policeman. The atmosphere in the apartment lobby was really busy.
"Deliver!" I tried to pull over and thrashed as much as I could.
"Please respect the officer, ma'am. We're here on a job!" They dragged me into the apartment. I don't know where to take it.
"What is this?!"
A police officer came. Something is strange. The police shirt is dirty with blood. It looks like it just came from TKP.
"Report, Sir. This woman claimed to be her friend the owner of the main tower unit. He barged in, even hit the doorstop."
"Please let go!" he said while looking at me.
"What's your name?" tanyakanya.
"I'm Listi Anggraeni, sir. Daini's friend."
I answered him with passion. Because, the name of the police is 'Sabil Sabilulungan.' I've heard that name from Daini. This cop must be Zulfikar's friend. Alhamdulillaah says.
"You're Listi?! Get into the ambulance!" He pulled my hand. The other police and security officers stared at each other.
"Sir, Da-Daini's okay, right?"
"No! Quick in! Miss Daini is in shock!"
He opened the ambulance door. I immediately jumped inside. Daini was lying weakly there.
"Zinc, huuu. What's going on?!" I'm panicking. Daini's headscarves and hands were covered in blood.
"Hurry to prepare one more ambulance. The victim is still in the CTF. Said the commander, had to wait for the forensic police first, only to be taken to the hospital," said Mr. Sabil on his men.
"Sir, why was the rescue delayed?!" Police ordered to protest.
"The victim is dead! Hurry along! The commander wants the TKP right now!" his yell.
"Ready, Sir!"
I listened while hugging Daini's body. I can't let him continue like this.
Until when will you keep the Director, Neng? I screamed in my heart as this ambulance came out of the apartment area.
...⚘️⚘️⚘️...
On the way, there was a call from the Director. Out of annoyance, I didn't pick him up. I intentionally turned it off. Yeah, I know he's been wary of this. The proof, he had ordered Mr. Sabil to come to the apartment.
However, what I want is .. he has to let go of Daini. For now, I think, their love should be sacrificed first. Once the problem is resolved, then they can be reunited.
...⚘️⚘️⚘️...
Apparently, Daini was taken to a hospital whose route had been determined. Daini was conscious, but her condition was weak. Empty look. When he returned to focus, his lips piqued. While his tears were relentless.
"Take off the Director, Neng. Until when will you continue like this? I suspect this case must have something to do with Mr. Director."
"Huuu ...." Daini did not reply, her head shaking weakly.
"I'm sorry, if I'm being pretentious, Neng. But, as your friend, I can't bear to see you like this. You are beautiful and smart. You can live your life in peace and happiness. Like you said, every human being has a choice. Is your life choice like this?"
Along the way, I talked about my teeth.
...⚘️⚘️⚘️...
Upon arrival at the hospital, Daini was immediately taken to the treatment room. Even directly infused in the treatment room alias no action on IGD.
In essence, in this hospital, Daini's needs have been prepared. Finished with infusion and oxygen, the nurse changed her clothes with the patient's clothes. Then injected and checked the fetal heart rate.
After making sure Daini was calm, I went out of the room to calm down. I went into the visitor's toilet. Then activate my phone.
In addition to the missed call from the Director, there was a misscall from Akmal as well. I called back right away.
"Hallo, Bang, sorry, I---."
"Where are you now?" as usual.
"I'm in the hospital, Bang. Daini is in the hospital. There was an unexpected incident Bang, so---."
"Enough yank, enough! I'm tired!" as usual.
"Bang, what are you after? You why? Why get angry, anyway?" Akmal sewot, obviously I was astonished at his attitude.
"Yank, you realize? I came to your house for a date! Uh, mom said, you just left without explaining where you were going."
"Bang, I'm in a hurry! That's why I didn't say anything to my mom."
"Listi, you're not aware yet? This is the third time you have ignored me for your best friend. You are more concerned with him than me! I'm disappointed!"
"Bang, what the fuck are you, 'safe?! I never felt like I was ignoring you! I'm like this because Daini is also good to me! Besides, Daini is also my boss' wife, Bang! The Director's wife!"
"Hahaha, what wife is his mistress?"
"Bang, watch what you say, yeah!"
"Yank, now I know everything! I've read the news! It turns out, the friend you are often proud of is such a woman! I'm sorry to let you hang out with him!"
"But! You misunderstood! You should listen to my explanation first. Bang, we're engaged, 'ok can you not believe me?!"
"Okay, you want to forgive and give you a chance. Provided, you don't be friends with Daini anymore. He's toxic, yank. You're not aware of it? All this time, you've been fooled by her looks. I just found out he's an actor. He purposely framed the Director so he could marry. That woman's obsessed with being rich."
"Bang, enough! Brother misunderstood! Brother ate hoax news! You've slandered my best friend, Bang!" my yelling.
"Yank, you really are! Is it okay, you deliberately approached him because you want to splash his treasure?!"
"But! You hurt my feelings! Huuu ...."
"I'm sorry, brother, I'm sorry that you felt I hurt you. Now come on, 'deh. Who did you choose? Brother, or your friend? Brother no problem with your friends.But please don't be friends with a hypocritical woman like her, yank. That woman is dangerous."
"What?! Enough, Bang!
"You knew? Shares of Antasena's family company plummeted because of him, yank. Because of the news of the affair and the silent marriage of the Director sir with the woman."
"Sheam!" my yelling.
Because of the emotion, I closed the call. Then scream again. I hope it is not heard by other visitors. Even if it sounds, I don't care.
"Aarr!"
"Hey, get out! Don't scream in the bathroom!"
Suddenly someone slammed on the bathroom door. I was shocked and immediately came out while furrowing an eyebrow. The voice was clearly a man's voice. Did I go in the wrong toilet?
"Listi?!"
"P-Pak Sabil?!"
We're shocked. Sabil until he steps down. Almost held his gun. He was wearing ordinary clothes.
"Why is it in the men's room? Haish, you're negligent huh," he snorted.
"His name is human too! If I am wrong sometimes, it is natural! I was in a hurry! I accidentally got in here! Don't blame me!" my yelling.
"What's? Hey, dare ya yell in front of me." Mr. Sabil gawked in astonishment.
"All men are the same! I just blame the women! You're the police! It shouldn't be reckless to accuse me of negligence before there is evidence!"
Again, I screamed. Then left while deliberately hitting the shoulder strapping Pak Sabil. My frustration with Akmal, is a little ventilated by the presence of Mr. Sabil.
"Anggraini Listi!" call him. Ignored him. Keep walking quickly while stomping on the floor.
"I can't say that Daini has friends like that" said Sabil sir I can still hear.
...⚘️⚘️⚘️...
When I returned to the treatment room, the Director was already with Daini.
Apparently, he came here with Mr. Sabil. I don't want to disturb their togetherness. Just sit on the couch and be quiet.
"Darling, I've told the media everything. Sorry I can't hide your identity. But, I've sent some people to Bandung to handle the situation there. I have also asked for help from Mr. Ihsan. I'm sorry baby, since I've been with you, your life can't be quiet." The Director held Daini's hand.
"Huuu .. sir .. o-the person who was murdered ...."
"Don't talk about that first, baby. Then yes. Think about your health and that of our baby-to-be, okay?"
"No sir, I-I can't lie here without doing anything. Sir, the man who was killed knows me?" brightest. I listen with my heart beating.
"W-what?! What did he say, baby?"
"A-while still being able to speak, she said, so it was like that because it wanted to save me, sir."
"What?!"
"Right sir, huuu .. I must testify immediately to the police. It's like premeditated murder. Why is my name in it? Sir, I don't understand what kind of life you're living. Butwhy? Why should there be a death toll? Huuu ...."
"Hanine ...." Mr. Director memelu Daini.
"My family is being tested, baby. In that case, the police are investigating. Okay, you can give me a description, but once you're stable."
"good. But ... After testifying to the police, I want to go back to Bandung, sir."
"Okay, baby, now you're resting."
"Excuse me."
Mr. Sabil came in suddenly. He came in haste while showing his phone.
"Sir Zulfikar, there is good news" he explained
Mr. Director checked Sabil's phone. He was surprised, his hands clenched tightly.
"I suspected! They tricked me!"
"What's up, sir?" daini asked as she waved at me.
"Goddess has multiple personality disease, baby. I actually have supporting evidence. But this evidence is the most accurate. This medical record is hard to refute."
Daini surprised. I was shocked but I did not dare to comment.
"After the papa show is over, I'll sue him. I don't care if he threatens me."
"Threatening?" Mr. Sabil was astonished.
"Yes, the Goddess threatened me. I'll explain it to Mr. Sabil later, but not now."
...~Tbc~...
