Hate Is Love's

Tamar packed enough clothes into a backpack. He also put chargers, toiletries and other items into the backpack. The plan today he will leave for Kuningan. His time off will be used to re-investigate the case of the death of the Son killed by his wife, Lina.

After finishing with the luggage, the man immediately came out of the apartment unit he was staying in. Tamar lives alone in the city of flowers. All of his family are in Bogor. Tamar is the first of two children. His younger brother, already working as ASN in Bogor. He rented a studio apartment as his residence.

Holding her backpack, Tamar exited her apartment unit on the fifth floor. The man entered the elevator that would take him to the basement. After putting the backpack in the car, the man caught up in it. Before long, the four-wheeled vehicle drove.

After passing two red lights, on a road that is not too crowded, suddenly a car overtakes him and stops a few meters in front of him. Tamar quickly pressed the brake pedal, until her head almost touched the steering wheel. From inside the car, a girl came down and approached her car. Tamar got out of the car.

“Heh!! Is that crazy, right? As if you were to overtake the car and stop. If I don't brake on time how?!”

“But the evidence can be ragged, right?” stella asked, relax.

Tamar patted her forehead in annoyance. Hoping today to go quietly, but it turns out Stella is still stalking him. Stella's eyes looked around at Tamar's car, then looked at the man's backpack.

“Abang where to go?”

“Mudik.”

“Long!”

“Ya already if you don't believe.”

“Ya obviously don't believe. I asked Aji, he said he wanted to go to Kuningan. To investigate the case of Ms. Lina, the wife who killed her husband. Yes, right?”

In Tamar's heart cursed the mouth of her subordinates who were like a leaky bucket. Without caring about Stella, the man was about to return to his car. But Stella quickly got in the way. The girl stood in front of Tamar's car door.

“Abang to Kuningan right?”

“Iya.”

“Aaahhh…. Want to come,” replied Stella in a sulking voice.

“Listen yes, I'm going to Kuningan not to make a walk or refreshing. But there is a job.”

“Iya, but you have promised grandfather, would take me if you investigate the case of Bu Lina.”

“Terus?”

“Ya I want to come.”

“Gosh.”

Tamar was completely made dizzy by Stella's mannerisms. The girl still stood in front of her car door, looking at her sharply with a pouting face. Tamar's breath was heard before the man finally relented.

“Ya if you want to come. Simpen used to be your car, you come with my car aja.”

“But can't now.”

“Ngga can how?”

“I'm three days of solid college, the task is also much. Brother just back to Kuningannya, abis I finish college assignments.”

“Mana can. I only have two days off. And I also have to hurry there, hunt his son run away later.”

“Huaaaa... How do I continue my fate? Evil brother.”

Stella's body slumped down until she fell on the asphalt. His legs were moved exactly like a child was lashing. Tamar can only gawk at Stella's miraculous behavior. He hurriedly woke the girl up embarrassed to be seen by the passing people.

“Wake up, you don't be shy.”

“I want to join brother.”

“Kan you are in college, how the heck.”

“Emang can't be pushed back?”

“Ngga. Does the office have my ancestors what? Right there, sending you to college. Your handsome lecturer is waiting for you.”

“Sok teu.. handsome from where. Udah tuir, baldy, distended stomach, mustache paplang again.”

“Waduh.”

Tamar almost laughed at Stella's description of her lecturer. Then he took the girl to his car. Tamar opens the car door, then sits Stella behind the wheel.

“True lecture, do not get a D value let alone E.”

“Abang should report yes dapet anything there.”

Tamar's forehead wrinkled at Stella's request. His boss rarely does anything like that. The case is over and the suspect is found.

“Sana go, I will bring souvenirs for you.”

“I don't want souvenirs.”

“Ya udah.”

“Ish.. no intention bring souvenirs. Brother want to bring what?”

“Pocong burn.”

“Abaaaaang!!!”

Tamar continued to step on her feet despite hearing Stella's loud shrill. The man got into his car and continued on his way. She really can't believe Stella's really making her head woozy. She was astonished, during pregnancy, to crave what Stella's mom was until her son's behavior was magical like that.

🍁🍁🍁

At one o'clock in the afternoon Tamar arrived at Kuningan. He first rented an inn to rest his body after a journey of approximately three hours. After resting and eating lunch, Tamar intends to visit the place where Isma saw the man who is thought to be the Son.

Through the help of google maps, he drove his vehicle to the Palutungan area. Palutungan is under the foot of Ciremai mountain and becomes a climbing route to the highest mountain in West Java. The cold air immediately felt as soon as Tamar opened the window. The man pointed his vehicle straight up, and turned his car into the courtyard of the Up Hill cafe.

The atmosphere of the Up Hill cafe is quite crowded as well. Two-wheeled and four-wheeled vehicles filled the parking lot of the cafe, which was only established three years ago. Tamar went into the cafe, then took a seat in front of the barista who was preparing coffee. His eyes ran throughout the room. Young Kawula dominates the customers who come at this time.

“What message mas?” ask the barista.

“Double espresso.”

“Siap.”

Quickly the man prepared the ingredients for the coffee ordered by Tamar. He waited for the barista to finish making orders for him, before starting his investigation.

“Happy enjoy.”

A hot cup of coffee that still looks puff of smoke on it is already in front of Tamar. The man just threw a smile. It only takes five minutes to make the coffee in the cup less warm. The cold mountain air made the hot drink quickly cool down.

“Mas.. have you seen this guy?”

Tamar showed me a picture of Son on her phone. The barista watched for a moment the picture on Tamar's phone. Shortly thereafter his head shook.

“Yang come here a lot. Sometimes I don't pay attention one by one. Except for regular customers, I just got to know. Minimum memorize his face.”

“That's yes. There are reports he said last week this man was seen here.”

“Who is he, mas?”

Tamar issued her identification and showed it to the barista. He was quite surprised to learn Tamar was a cop. He thought Tamar was a model who was shooting in this area.

“Here is cctv?”

“There, mas.”

“Can I request a recording last week?”

“For a while yes, mas.”

The barista went inside the cafe to call his manager. Before long a woman in her thirties came to see Tamar. The woman threw her smile.

“There can I help?”

“Begini, I need to see the cctv recording in the cafe for a week yesterday until now.”

“Bby, sir. Please follow me.”

The woman's manager immediately agreed to Tamar's request, because the barista had already told her who Tamar really was. They went up to the top of the cafe and entered a room that was the control room of this cafe. There are approximately six cctv placed in this cafe, both outside and inside. The man on duty immediately did as Tamar asked.

Long enough also Tamar noticed one by one recording of each cctv installed. Several times he rubbed his sore eyes. After an hour more berjibaku staring at the monitor screen, finally he could find the figure he was looking for. The son was sitting down enjoying a meal with a woman.

Tamar moved the footage to the outside of the cafe, precisely in the parking lot. He kept following the son into the car. He took the paper as well as a pen, then recorded the number of the police vehicle used by Putra.

“Thank you, sir,” Tamar said after copying the recording containing the whereabouts of the Son.

The man came out of the control room. While walking out of the cafe, he contacted Aji and asked his men to track down the police number he got earlier. Tamar immediately returned to her car, then exited the parking lot of the Up Hill cafe.

🍁🍁🍁

Tamar woke up from her sleep when her phone rang. Seeing the call coming from Aji, the man immediately picked it up. It turned out that Panji had managed to track down the car used by Putra.

“Car owner is Liliana Subrata. He lives in Cikaso, Kuningan. I'll send you the full address, capt.”

“Ok, good work.”

“So the case of Bu Lina wants to be re-investigated?”

“Ready, capt.”

“Perform your mouth not like a leaky bucket.”

“Hehehe. Captain Lagian, go to Kuningan not to say the same as the future wife. I think he panicked nyariin.”

“Haaiisshh.”

There was the sound of Aji's laughter from sebrang. He could not help but laugh at the thought of Tamar's face at this moment. Surely his boss was upset half to death. In his heart, the man prayed that Stella would be a real match for Tamar.

With gontai steps, Dayana walks down the cobbled streets to get to her residence. He had just visited the house of his last disciple. His task of going around visiting all his students was done already. The girl's body felt limp, because for ten days it kept going around. Go early in the morning, go home by Maghrib.

Rafa just got back from the signal bridge. As she was about to enter the house, she saw Dayana walking alone. The man chose to meet Dayana. He hadn't talked to the girl in a long time. Getting closer, Rafa can clearly see Dayana's tired face that looks a little pale.

“Ay..” saya Rafa.

“Eh mas Rafa's. How are you mas?”

“Why you? Pain?”

“Ngga. I got soy sauce aja.”

“Better you quickly enter then rest. Your face is pale so.”

“Times anyway?”

With both hands, Dayana touched her face. Dayana and Rafa's interaction is caught by Nilam standing in front of the window. The woman's eyes continued to look at the two who were still talking.

“Yes, your face is very pale. There in.”

Dayana just nodded her head and went inside the house. Rafa was still in his place for a moment. After seeing Dayana enter, the man returned to his house.

When she got home, Dayana cleaned up. The water that usually feels normal even though he takes a bath at night, now feels cold on his skin. Even the girl shivered. Dayana sped up her bath, then came out of the bathroom. Lastri was surprised to see Dayana's pale face.

“Ay.. geez your face is so pale.”

“Times anyway, mba? Ouch..my head is so dizzy.”

“Ay.. Aya!”

Dayana could no longer hear the voice of Lastri calling out to her. The girl's body collapsed in front of Lastri. Fast Lastri, Vienna and Reni carried Dayana and brought her into the room. Nilam who saw that, immediately took his medical equipment and examined Dayana.

Slowly Dayana got up from her stupor, after Lastri gave her eucalyptus oil. He saw some friends covering him. The girl tried to get up, but Lastri held her back, asking her to lie down.

“I why, mba?”

“You fainted earlier.”

“Iya. It looks like you are soybean,” continued Nilam while inserting a stethoscope into his medical bag.

“It looks like Aya needs to be infused doc,” said Lastri.

“Iya. But all the equipment is in the puskesmas. Who wants to drive these nights?”

“Awhile, I contact doctor Rafa.”

“Eh no need. Let me tell you.”

Without waiting for Lastri's approval, Nilam rushes out of the room and heads to the house where Rafa lives. Getting word from Nilam about the state of Dayana, of course Rafa was surprised. He borrowed a motorbike that was reserved for them. Nilam quickly climbed to the back of Rafa as the man rode the motorbike.

“I'm coming, doc,” Nilam said before the man asked.

Rafa immediately runs his vehicle to the puskesmas. It didn't take long for him to get there. He immediately took the necessary equipment and medicine, then immediately returned. Rafa stops the vehicle in front of the female volunteer residence.

“Let me just dock the infusion.”

“Let me just.”

“I'm also a doctor, if the doctor forgets. Let me just.”

“Papa Aya entrust it to me. So I have to make sure it's okay.”

Rafa just passed into the house, leaving Nilam still in his place. The woman immediately followed inside as soon as her consciousness returned. Rafa immediately went inside the room Aya occupied. There are still Pastri, Vienna, Reni and Sinta. Seeing the arrival of Rafa, everyone moved away a little from Dayana.

“How are you doing?”

“Lumayan limp doc.”

“Have eaten?”

“Aya do not want to eat, doc,” replied Lastri.

Rafa removes needles, hoses, intravenous fluids along with vitamins. The man quickly put the infusion into Dayana's hand. Lastri looking for items so that infusion can depend.

“Now you eat.”

“Ngga laper.”

“Have to be forced. After that, I just took medicine. Lasts. Bring food for him.”

The woman named Lastri immediately came out of the room. Before long he returned with a plate of rice and his side dish. Rafa helps Dayana to sit down. The girl's eyes stared unappetizingly at the plate in Lastri's hand.

“I don't want to eat.”

“You must eat.”

“I miss eating meatballs, chicken noodles, pizza, burger, soto betawi, seafood.”

“Ya.. yes... later if we go home, I will invite you to eat everything you want to eat. But now eat this first.”

Rafa takes the plate from Lastri's hand, then starts feeding the girl. Although reluctant, Dayana finally opened her mouth as well. His tongue was bitter, so the food he ate was bitter. But because Rafa was the one who bribed him, he tried to eat and swallow him. Nilam looked at the scene in front of him with a feeling of annoyance. Never had he seen Rafa this attentive to a woman before.

One black bucket that was still tightly sealed, four packs of yellow, reddish and purple dried chips and a pack of bottled drinks were arranged on the table. Tamar, who had just returned from Kuningan, kept her promise to bring souvenirs to Stella. Now the man is in the Cakra residence.

“It's peuyeum, it's original gemblong, it's spicy kingpin, it's yamplong and it's jeniper.”

“What is jeniper?”

“Little Orange Squeeze.”

“This is all that you got from Kuningan?”

“So what do you want? There's no way I'll bring Ciremai mountain here.”

“Ck.. don't need turtles in boats. You know what I'm talking about.”

No response from Tamar. The man leaned his back against the back of the sofa while folding both his hands. His eyes continued to look at Stella who was also looking at him. Apparently the girl still urged him to inform the results of the investigation he got from Kuningan.

“Your job is done?”

“But.”

“Prepare your duty first, then I will answer your question. Now enjoy the things I love. Eat a lot.”

Tamar patted Stella's arm then stood up from her seat. Cakra, Sekar, Anya and Irvin who were in the dining room, pretended to talk when Tamar approached. They didn't want Tamar to know that they had eavesdropped on the conversation.

“Eyang, om, aunt, I said go home first.”

“Oh yes, thanks for the souvenirs.”

“Sama-sama, eyang. Excuse me, assalamu’alaikum.”

“Waalaikumsalam.”

Anya stood up to deliver her prospective daughter-in-law to the terrace of the house. Tamar immediately headed for her car parked in front of the house. He looked briefly at Anya before taking off his vehicle. After Tamar died, Anya went back inside and approached her daughter.

“What is this?”

“By-by, this is peuyeum, this is gemblong, this is jeniper.”

“Tamar is very understanding. This is my favorite peuyeum mami.”

“Mami don't eat a lot, sisain for me.”

“When does mommy eat? There are you handyman ngabisin.”

Anya picked up the black bucket containing the peuyeum then took it to the dining room. Stella grabbed the purple-colored kingpin then opened it.

“Ehmm.. turned out to taste good.”

Stella continues to feed foods made from processed purple yam. It feels good, not too sweet. In a short period of time, the half-kilo-heavy chips were already half-used.
