GENK DUDA ACUTE
39. I'm Still Like The Old One

“De, is Toni okay?” ask Rio. They are outside the police.

“Nothing. Why why?” Dean asked back.

“Do we have to wait until Santoso or Pak Mustafa dateng? Let Ifa go home. How?” Rio asked for an opinion.

“It was just a wait, right?” dean asked Rio.

“Iya,” Rio replied.

“Trus if you come wait there, Santoso will be more flat?” ask Dean again.

“No, sih.” Rio frowning.

“Pak Mustafa will come early?” Dean asked again.

“No,” replied Rio.

“Ya, already .. napa lo dizzy really. Wulan also briefly nyampe. We need to get out of here fast. For the next time, Toni must be taught. Mending us a meal, or you can go home. From noon on Toni. Not good, right, out of the house too long. Especially with a wife. Kasian ... wife all day tired of taking care of children.” Dean rubbed Winarsih's shoulder.

The sky and Ryan snorted silently, while listening to Dean's words. Winarsih was in Dean's arms and gave a stifled smile when her husband said that.

Rio and Sky went straight home, Sky promised to accompany Toni tomorrow, if there is a follow-up examination. While Rio, will leave for Semarang to meet with its franchise buyers in a cafe.

Ryan ‘diusir’ by his boss. He decided to go straight back home and leave his car in the office. While Dean, drive his car and go to dinner with Winarsih.

“Mas,” call Winarsih. He had just finished a plate of the menu Dean had ordered for him.

“Ya .. napa Dik Win?” sahut Dean, raised a glass of water and sipped it.

“Why is her boyfriend Wulan? Something wrong?” ask Winarsih.

Dean looked up at his wife. “Mmmm .. I'm also a boy. You know, I'm temperament. You've met me that version, a long time ago. I also do not want to nginget, because I always feel guilty. For the present circumstances, if I were to make a fuss in the resort billiard room, and you came to me.. I would have stopped. I don't want to, you see I'm like a crazy person. In Sukabumi, Wulan's back, twice hit a high table, because it was pushed by his girlfriend. Twice .. and that, not by accident. I'm not a good man either. But I can be sure, I've never been like a girl. Especially the woman I love. Simple aja.” Dean grinned as he grabbed Winarsih's hand.

“That's all?” ask Winarsih.

“Other .. because the two are still in love with each other. Separate they are sick, but together more hurt. I know Toni, and I know why Wulan left Toni.”

“Why?”

“Wulan same kasian Toni who every day busy choosing to take care of who first. Her mom? Or wife? Wulan must be jealous. Husband comes home from work, but says and ngeladeni Mami linger. Wulan is also an ordinary human.”

“Can't it repeat the same mistake? If they reverse it again.” Winarsih felt really curious about the reason Dean was so insistent on uniting Toni and Wulan.

“They've been separated for four years. Toni was 29. The same age when I thumped people just because of your suits. Both are getting older, right? If they don't want to go back, no one can understand. That's why we look. Toni was not impatient. Now it has changed, so it is more calm and patient. Like I ... used to have to go straight twice, now I can be nyicil. One malem, one dawn.” Dean rubbed his wife's hand.

Winarsih scrunched her nose. “Ckckck ...” This time, it was Winarsih who clucked.

“Kalo I kayak Toni, how are you?” Dean knitted his brows at winarsih.

“Ha?” ask Winarsih. He was confused and never thought about the situation. “Mas is not possible,” Winarsih said.

“Maybe ...,” replied Dean.

“If Mas like that, now I must be in Beringin Village, big Dirja alone. It can't be four,” said Winarsih. “Mas never hesitated. Marry me, that means I won't hurt you. Because, I want to. Really not?” ask Winarsih.

“Internship boy? 20-something?” ask Winarsih. Dean nodded. “Mmm—look for a near retirement age. All my light-hearted work. Novi said, in the office there are female employees who enter retirement age. How, Mas?” Winarsih returned the hand of her husband.

“Oh, which is nearing retirement age? Can—by ... later I'll takein to Ryan.” Dean grimaces. He glanced at the three-carat diamond ring that encircled his wife's ring finger. He knew whose ring it was. It turns out that secretly in the Hartono residence there has been a transfer of power. Now he understood why Winarsih's answer was so confident.

In Polsek, Musdalifah had to remind Mr. Mustafa to sit back at the entrance and wait for Santoso's arrival in silent mode. It was clear his order. He only accompanied Mr. Mustafa to make a report accompanied by Santoso. Furthermore, he was not allowed to improvise and he could go home.

However, working with old-type employees such as Pak Mustafa, Musdalifah must have extra patience. As they were explaining the chronology of events with Santoso arriving, he was flabbergasted. He almost jumped up and shook the skinny body of Mr. Mustafa. Wulan appeared in front of the door of Polsek with a tentengan that seemed to contain food.

“Ngadep here .. ngadep here!” pinta Musdalifah to Pak Mustafa.

“Ha? Why?” ask Mr. Mustafa confused. The man turned to the left-right to see what Musdalifah was looking at.

“Ihh .. asked to come here only, many names. I am old. If I was young I was a jewel,” upset Musdalifah. He grabbed Mustafa's shoulder and turned the man's face against the wall.

“I just want to see, Mus ..” murmur Mr. Mustafa.

“Pak Mus relaxing. Do the command first, explanation later,” said Musdalifah.

“Bu Wulan, yes?” ask Mr. Mustafa, with a gleeful face.

“Iya. Hopefully yes, Mr. Mus ..” murmured Musdalifah.

“Iya, Mus. May ...,” said Mr. Mustafa.

“Ehem!” Santoso. He looked at the two people in front of him with a serious look. “Good .. for starters, I want more. Both of them, named Mus. Which Musdalifah is this—? Which Mustafa is?” The lawyer from Danawira’s Law Firm was joking. But his face was flat.

Musdalifah. “Applies the same. Want the boss, want the employee.” Musdalifah.

“I'm joking, you know, Ma'am ..” Santoso looked at Musdalifah with a casual face.

“Ya, already. Buruan, deh. I want to go home,” Musdalifah said.

“Later can I anter. Beautiful woman alone at night, it's a danger ..” Santoso looked at Musdalifah. For a few moments they looked at.

“The mouth is the same as it turns out. What's his office training like that, huh?” musdalifah.

In another room.

GECK! GECK!

Wulan knocked on the door twice. Toni who was looking down scrolled her phone, raised her face.

“Lan,” says Toni.

Wulan approached and placed her wrap on the table. “You've eaten?” ask Wulan.

“Not ... from noon not yet to eat,” Toni said.

Wulan was still standing. Take out all the food he brought to the table. Toni did not dare to look at his ex-wife's face. He just stared at Wulan's hand so deftly preparing his dinner. In his heart Toni realizes, that Dean's rates have started to run.
