Grief (Duda But Perjaka)
Looking for Papa Azlan

Rayyan came home with a calm heart. The thin lips do not stop to curl up a sweet smile.

Arriving in his car, Rayyan immediately dialed the number of the Papi and Papi Gilang trust man.

''Ehem, hello assalamualaikum Pi, Mr Surya!''

''Waalaikum salam son.. What's the matter?''

''Waalaikum greetings Young master.'' replied Mr. Surya.

Rayyan clucked. ''Don't young master Mr. Surya! Rayyan only!'' rayyan said to Mr. Surya a little upset

''Sorry young master! It broke my vow with lord Gilang! Is that right, Mr Gilang?'' mr. Surya said to Papi Gilang.

Papi Gilang chuckled. ''Are you contacting us like this? Is there anything you need?'' ask Papi Gilang

Rayyan nodded through her video call connection. ''Yes, you need the help of Papi and Mr. Surya. In terms of looking for someone!''

''Who?'' tanya Papi Gilang

''Father of Love, son of Mami Zahra!''

The deg!

The deg!

''For what? Have you proposed Cinta to your Bude?'' terka Papi Gilang to Rayyan.

Rayyan smiled, Already. Just waiting for the right time to bring Mami and Papi there. Later Brother tell Papi. For now, Abang needs Papi's permission in order to find the whereabouts of Papa Azlan Dharmawan where his existence. Because the guardian who will marry Brother and Love later is Papa Azlan!''

''Hemm. Mr Surya!''

''I'm Mr Gilang!''

''Soon find a man named Azlan Dharmawan. Wherever he was found quickly. Alive or dead I need his information right away!''

''Okay, I'll do it soon! I'm saying goodbye!'' said Mr. Surya immediately resigned from his cellphone connection.

Rayyan and Papi Gilang are staring at each other. ''Did Master Rian accept you son?'' tanya Papi Gilang.

Rayyan breathed. ''Accept Pi. But yes it was. A little bit how! Do you know what Mr Rian is like? Papi first met her when you worked together first. Brother is just trying to fulfill the wishes of Love, Pi. It's time for you to live happily. It's been enough all along. After all, the twins desperately want Love to be their Mama. What's wrong if Brother fulfills his wish?''

''Yes, you are right! Yes already, Papi will tell you if you have received news from Mr. Surya. You better go home first. Mami was at home. The twins are coming with Papi to our branch!''

''Okay, Brother's coming home. Assalamualaikum..''

''Waalaikum salam ..'' said Papi Gilang.

He immediately gave someone a name to talk about Rayyan and Love. ''Yeah, hello. I need your help! Yes, you're here soon! I wait!'' he told someone across the phone.

Papi Gilang sighed. ''May you still be there bang Azlan. If you're gone, then you're out of there. Heh. Hope so!'' he muttered while glancing at the two little boys who were asleep after they were tired of playing earlier.

While Mr. Surya moves quickly when he finds out where Papa Azlan's point of existence is currently.

It took me two hours to get there. With the help of one of the police and also one of the assistant generals that Papi Gilang called earlier, now the three of them immediately headed there.

They passed through many tall trees. That place is so far affordable. If an ordinary car would not be able to get in there. Karen the street was filled with rocks on each side and the road.

The two of them looked at each other as they entered the vast forest area. The three were shocked when they saw the signboard with the words Forbidden Forest!

Previously they were looking for the locker or caretaker of the forest in order to get in and out safely.

They walked towards a hut that was a bit deep inside. Cold sweat splashed on his forehead.

Kuncen was talking with the original Javanese and Sundanese dialects there. (Othor language less Java and Sunda ye? What is the othor of the Acehnese? 🤣)

''Excuse me. residents of this place I'm sorry to enter. Someone wants to see that guy. Please don't disturb us. We want to take him home. Isn't his sentence over?''

The three people looked at each other. But not speaking. Only the locksmith spoke.

''Fine, thanks. We're inbound. Let's sir?'' he told Mr. Surya.

Mr. Surya nodded. ''Has this young man been here for decades?''

''Not decades, sir. Just entered ten years. It was a punishment for him for daring to marry a wife of a wealthy businessman. Without the wife of the businessman was divorced first. He lived alone with his son there. It's so sorry for him. But I can't do anything about it when I saw Papa Azlan.

Mr. Surya nodded. They also tried to see a rickety hut standing under a banyan tree that was so creepy.

Anyone who sees it will be terrified. If they can't, they will run away.

The closer the cooler the banyan tree feels. It was as if the three of them were watching.

As they wanted to approach the place closer, the door of the rickety hut opened.

The deg!

''Mr Azlan!''

The deg!

The person holding a sack in his old shirt was shocked. It is like hearing a human voice. But that's not possible.

He used to hear strange sounds from every corner of the forest where he lived. ''Papa! Adek come with ya?''

The deg!

Mr. Surya was surprised when he saw the skinny young man standing next to Papa Azlan. ''No need to kid. You're just inside. Started again memorizing his verses. When Papa gets home, Papa will test you again. Hear?'' papa AzLan insisted on his son.

The young man lowered his head and nodded, Alright.

From a distance the four of them continued to look at Papa Azlan with concern and sadness.

Concerned for living in the forest for decades and also moved because he could educate his son well.

The four men immediately approached Papa AzLan who was going to the forest to find their food for later tonight.

Papa AzLan rushed away, but the leg stopped when his ear heard a human voice so close to him.

''Mr. AzLan Dharmawan!''

The deg!

The deg!

Papa Azlan looked over. He froze on the spot when he saw the pigeon that once drove him into the forest with his ex-wife's errand boy.

''My-kuncen!!'' it was so surprised.
