KELANA
57.

Far away was a middle-aged man standing by the roadside in crumpled, dull clothes.

As Mumu almost passed by, she raised her hand waving. His eyes glanced left to right as if afraid of something.

Seeing this man's look, Mumu felt like something was out of place but unfortunately she could not remember what was wrong.

"What's the need, sir?" Greet Mumu after turning off the bike.

The middle-aged man looked at Mumu for a while as if thinking then said in a doubtful tone, "Are you able to help me?"

"What help do you need from me?"

"really?" The old man's face became bright. "My friend passed out on a tree branch on the edge of the forest there." The man pointed towards the north, where there was a path that headed in that direction.

"I've been waiting, but no one has been on this road. Fortunately you came and were willing to help us."

After parking the motorbike on the side of the road, Mumu immediately followed the old man named Sudir who climbed the path leading to the forest.

Mumu feels something is wrong. The old man was too calm when he told about the disaster that happened to his friend. He did not appear to be worried for the fate of his friend.

But Mamu purposely followed the old man towards the edge of the forest. He wanted to see what their plan was. It feels like they have never met face to face before anything else has ever been in conflict.

Even though they do not understand what their purpose is for him, Mumu still acts alert.

One can lose against the enemy not because the enemy is strong but because we underestimate the enemy.

Soon they reached the field. The old man stopped and turned towards Mumu. There was a slight grin on his face.

"Where is your friend who was hit by a tree, sir? Nothing to look at?" Your mums are wailing but there's nothing to look at. In that case he was just pretending. Mumu already knew that this place was already surrounded by some men who wanted to do no good to her.

If they can act why can't they?

Hearing Mumu's innocent question, the old man laughed out loud. What's more seeing Mumu's innocent attitude that makes her impatient to want to immerse Mumu's face in the mud.

"Ha ha..mumu..mumu...seculun is that you? It's just that you have high medical science it turns out you're very easy to lie."

"A..what do you mean, Father? Bb...how do you know and know who I am?" Your mumu stammered and subconsciously retreated with slightly trembling legs.

In your heart Mumu praised this acting. Come to think of it, maybe his talent in terms of acting is greater than the science of medicine.

"Ha ha. The old man was more happy to see Mumu like a rabbit being played by a tiger.

"Buddies, what are you waiting for? Out y'all!" He shouted while looking around the field.

Soon there appeared several men one after another, numbering nine, ten with Sudir, the old man.

"You've overestimated this boy, Dir. You deliberately invited us to face this geeky boy? You really disappointed us." Said the man who was tall large and brimmed heavily.

Sudir did not respond to the big tall man's words, instead he turned to the side, towards the bald man and asked with a serious look, "How did it go."

"Ha ha what am I saying, you're being too careful, Dir."

Shut up, not responding. He was still unsure, but since there was no evidence of his final hesitation he said, "Do it quickly! Even if one or two people is enough to get it done, you will still be paid according to the agreement."

"Ha..." The man laughed happily. "Thank you, Dir. Your cooperation has nothing to lose."

"Eh....Where did the geeky boy go?" Suddenly, one of the men stumbled.

They simultaneously looked towards Mumu who was standing with trembling legs earlier. He doesn't look there anymore.

"Jamal, go after him and drag him back here! Don't let him get back on the big road." Sudir Order.

Take it easy, Boss. Leave this business to me. I'll definitely drag him here with a battered face. How far can the town boy run?" Jamal patted his chest.

"Sam, you're with Jamal!"

"Why should he come, boss? I alone am more than enough." Jamal won't take it.

"Ha ha that's a sign the boss is not sure about your performance, Jamal." Sam Ejek.

"Have...haveten to go there!" Sudir Hardik.

While grumbling Jamal immediately ran which was followed by Sam. In a short time their backs were no longer visible.

After the two men left, the other men looked for a comfortable seating position while waiting for the results of Jamal and Sam's hunt.

Some are sitting in the grass, some are sitting while leaning under trees and some are still standing while smoking cigarettes.

Ten minutes passed, Jamal and Sam had not returned. Sudir started not to growl. Both of them are not good at work.

Twenty minutes passed. Sudir started to get nervous. He called Jamal, but he didn't answer. Then he switched to calling Sam's number and got no answer.

"Leman, take three men with you. Find 'em! If Jamal and Sam do it, teach them a lesson!" Sudir Order.

Without saying anything four men immediately stood up and ran quickly down the path and with a short time instantly disappeared around the corner.

They sat quietly again waiting but this time their hearts were not as calm as usual. This applies especially to the self-spirited, Sudir, Jefri from the beginning had warned him to be careful and not to fail so he had ordered a group of at least ten people to make sure their actions were successful.

Sudir had indeed managed to gather and deploy his people as many as ten people according to Jefri's orders.

Suddenly something crossed Sudir's mind. He stood up suddenly. His face turned pale and frightened.

"What's up, Dir? Why did your face change as if something had happened?" The bald man asked in surprise. Two men who were sitting side by side with the bald man also looked at Sudir curiously.

"We have been deceived! We've fallen into his trap." Answer Sudir while remembering something strange.
