Let Me Fall in Love
123. Summer In Munich
"Mom, Papa go first." Mr. Bagja seemed to be in a hurry when saying goodbye to the new Mother Sekar down from the 2nd floor.
"Where are you going?" Mother Sekar frowned in wonder. Because her husband had no plans to travel. Especially after the jogging event was canceled because of the problems that befell Ami.
"Father want to do sports first. Not for long. I am ready to pack my stuff. Assalamualaikum." Pak Bagja gave a lightning kiss on the forehead of Ibu Sekar. Hurry away with wide steps.
The forehead is still wrinkled because the answer given Mr. Bagja has not been satisfactory. Unobstructed to answer the greetings of the husband who was lost behind the door.
Sports are not just sports. Mr. Bagja drove himself forward his car to an old building similar to a used warehouse. In 1 x 24 hours, his men managed to catch three people who were in the car who intended to kidnap Ami. Where the car was used It turned out to be a rental car.
The first person to be arrested was the driver. Only from the confession of the driver, can sniff 2 more people who are the main perpetrators of kidnapping.
"Who asked?" Without further ado Mr. Bagja immediately interrogated three people whose hands were now tied hanging up. The absence of evidence of surveillance camera footage, relying only on Ami as a witness and without any injuries, became no power to ensnare them with criminal. Then teaching becomes the ninja path.
Each of the three people shook their heads. "No idea, sir."
"OKAY. It just so happens that today I haven't been sporting." As if considered a samsak, Mr. Bagja threw his fist into the stomach of three people whose hands were hung on it.
Bugh..bugh.
A groan of pain was heard from the lips of the three suspected abductors.
"Give them a lesson until they talk!" Firmly Mr. Bagja after exercising 'hand-holding'. He gave orders to three of his men who stood watching.
"Ready, commander." Three of Pak Bagja's men answered compactly.
"Hi, just so you know. The boy you kidnapped was the general's son. Elo was looking for trouble. Bugh!" After the preface of one of Pak Bagja's men, the raw bogem also leads to the faces of the perpetrators simultaneously.
Mr. Bagja folded both hands on the chest. Watching with a cold aura against his three men who gave one-on-one lessons. Until it is battered, then someone opens the voice.
"We got an order from Jakarta."
"From who?"
"Bang Konyal."
Mr. Bagja had his men release the three perpetrators of the Ami kidnapping attempt. Just give a lesson and with a warning to stop being a thug. After bagging information about the person named Konyal, Mr. Bagja also left the warehouse. The investigation and the continued hunting became the affairs of his men. This order system he believes there is a mastermind

[Hi, Cutie aka Ami Blanket 😉]
[It seems like now is time for me to be honest. I'm sick of acting for a long time]
[To the point. Our relationship all along...Just for fun. Pake logic only..where might I marry the same boy 🤣].
[Tomorrow prewed us? hehe only in dreams. So far my experiments and bets with friends² have been successful. Yes. I won]
[Sorry Mi. Find a girlfriend of the same level. Oh yes, thanks for 2 years. What I have loved all this time. Now, time to celebrate the victory 🥂]
Is a series of chats from Akbar that Padma is reading in his room Ami. Plus a video where Akbar is drunk while dancing with a sexy woman in a room. Then one photo of the scene sleeping with the woman, hugging each other, with the body covered in a blanket. Leave a plain view of the shoulders and back.
"Pregnant...Padma really can't believe that this is a chat from Kak Akbar." Padma's tears were shed. Come feel the heartache as felt Ami who was arranging clothes into a suitcase with a puffy face and swollen eyes.
"I didn't believe it at first either. Would not believe if the person sent it from an unknown number. I kept trying to ask for clarification by calling Akbar. But who received the voice of a hoarse chick and yelled at me. He said, disturb people to sleep. The phone was one-sided when I said ask to talk to Akbar. Repeatedly, the phone is not active. " Ami was clearly with a voice that was still raucous. Want to toughen up, what an urgent tear power again. Spilled over both cheeks. It was too painful that could not be described with words.
"Padma, delete everything in her chat room. I don't want to see any more of those disgusting videos."
Padma did not answer. He was silent with a shrunken forehead. Both thumbs moved quickly. After tens of seconds he said, "Here it is, Mi."
A surprise at a time when the pain gave a glimmer of energy. His father turned out to have been preparing plans for a vacation to Germany next week. Departing three with Mother Sekar. All documents are prepared. With this incident, with a re-question from Papa Bagja about the certainty of wanting to go to Germany, Ami nodded with certainty. He wanted to leave Ciamis to calm down as far as possible. His head was very heavy.The step forward seemed to be dark.
Padma came to Ami's house after magrib because she called Sekar's mother. Ibu Sekar knew very well that Padma and Ami were so close. Bestie's Ami should know about the departure to Jakarta tonight.
"Now don't stay there for long. Padma will be very heavy. Padma believes Ami is a strong girl. Can quickly move on to organize the heart quickly. Munaroh will miss Marimar."
Ami and Padma hugged each other. Crying together without command. Mournfully. Why would you suddenly part in this way.
Before coming out of the room, Ami stared at the panda doll that had been accompanying him day and night. The doll with all those memories, she stared at. He closed the door with a heart. Following Padma who first came down to bring her suitcase.
"Mom sure you won't tell Teteh?" Aul looked at Ibu Sekar with hurt and disappointed feelings towards Akbar who had made his sister heartbroken. I want to get angry and hit. But he had to wait patiently for Panji who was in Bandung, just left this morning for work. Just gonna be home the day after tomorrow.
Aul nodded with a withered face and a sad look. He was shocked when his mother called him at four in the afternoon asking to come to this house. Until then heard a detailed explanation of the problem that befell Ami. He had met Ami in his room and was curious to read the contents of the chat. Can only give a hug as a consolation.
"We're leaving, Aul. Relax, Papa the same mother will not stay silent. Only now is the focus to calm Ami first Ami need a new atmosphere" said Mr. Bagja against Aul who drove up to the yard of the house.
"Yes, Pa. May the journey be smooth and safe." Aul kissed the back of Bagja's hand. He and Padma stared at the speed of the car that slowly left the yard.
"Tea will anterin Padma home. But later Padma will act ordinary. Enin is sick again. Don't know this problem. It will be a burden of the mind." Aul summarizes Padma's sad looking shoulder.
"Yes, Tea." Padma answered listlessly. His bestie has left.

Summer in Munich, Germany
Ami has been in Munich for eight days. Lives in Einzelapartment rented by Gina who studied at the Technical University of Munich (TUM). Einzelapartment if translated to Indonesian means single apartment or one-room apartment.
Today is the first week of July. Munich is on the cusp of summer. Although called summer, the third largest city in Germany is often warm, not hot. With air temperatures ranging from 19 degrees Celsius, it feels warm.
"Well, are you okay, Papa and Mommy are home now?" Mr. Bagja made sure again the psychological state of the child, he continued, who for the first three days was still reluctant to go anywhere. Only on the fourth day will be invited to take a walk to the park and other tourist attractions in the Munich region whose environment is green with classic European architecture buildings.
"It's okay, Pa. Because I asked Teh Gina, she said it's okay to be bothered with me." Ami smiles mesem. Is his mood better than a week before? Ja. The new atmosphere and environment help thicken the kink. During this time, his phone was switched on. The fragile heart made him really do not want to be disturbed by anyone. Communication with the family and Padma, can be through the mother.
Gina laughs. "I'm just grinning, Pah, Mom. So I had a friend talking in the apartment. Just go to college here, Mi."
"Later to consider. Wait a minute when Teh Gina will take me to TUM campus."
"Tomorrow us to TUM . Today we take papa and mom to the airport. Let's go for a walk to the Isar River. We enjoy the summer holidays with our own happiness." Gina hugged Ami's shoulder with her bare face. Encouraging the sister to keep coming back cheerful.
Ami takes Mom and Papa to Munich Airport. He made sure to his mother that he was okay.
"Mom don't worry. I want to enjoy my vacation here. Wanted to travel around Munich with Gina Tea. I'll be home before the campus ospek schedule."
"So want to stay in college at UI or in Germany?" Mother Sekar raised one eyebrow.
"Ah how will you. Can't think now." Ami smiled wryly. Talking about UI reminds him of the mind map that has been compiled. Automatic thought to Akbar. The man until now has no news. There was absolutely no contact with Mom or Dad. Makes Ami more sure the relationship has run aground. Feeling like a victim of fake love.

The rain had subsided along with the rising rays of the sun. Leaving wet leftovers on the streets and leaves that are slow but sure to start drying out due to the warm sunshine greeting. Despite the summer, the occasional rain will greet the earth of Munich.
"Teh Gina, let's go gowes. Ujan has stopped." Ami's voice sounded excited. Gina who just came out of the bathroom with wet hair after shampooing. This is the fifteenth day he is in Munich which is also the capital of Bavaria, this part of the German state.
"Okay, who's afraid. I called a friend, borrowed a bike for Ami to use. Just want your hair first." Gina was no less excited. Sunday is suitable for walking by pedaling a bike that the road is very friendly for cyclists.
While waiting, Ami accidentally opened the apartment window wide. Inhaling the fresh air after dawn was hit by rain. Mentally, it feels better today than yesterday. Although I honestly miss torturing. He could not and forgot the figure of Akbar just like that. Since dawn it has really been the height of longing. By doing outdoor activities, hoping to forget or divert your mind to his first love.
Ami and Gina paddled the bike casually towards Englischer Garten. It is the largest city park in Germany, even in Europe, founded in 1789. The park has been enlarged over the centuries and currently covers 370 acres. This park has a cluster of trees and plants that are lush naturally and the Isar River that flows along 9 km. What a natural atmosphere that is very suitable to refresh the mind.
Crisp laughter rang out as Ami and Gina dropped on the green grass. Both rest while regulating the breath after cycling for more than half an hour. The park area of the city is also crowded with people who do jogging also play football.
"Mi, can I ask you a question?" Gina opened the conversation while taking out the food from inside her backpack.
"Ask, Tea. Don't worry about it." Ami is still sleeping on her back with her eyes closed. Letting the sunlight warm her skin.
"Hm, how is Ami feeling now? Can you forget Akbar?" Gina asked carefully.
"Honestly, if you can't yet. Brother Akbar my first love. And I really believe that he really loves me. But it turns out that I was too naive to distinguish between sincere love and false love. And honestly, I miss him again today." Ami laughed wryly with a grimacing face. He still refused to open his eyes. Prefer to enjoy the breeze that can hope to penetrate the heart and fan the wound that is trying to be sewn it. Do not want to continue to lament the misfortune of his love fate.
"Mi, what if yesterday was just a slander?"
"If it's slander, he should clarify. My number is not active. Good guy, he should have come to mom. But where? My mother never told me until now that she was sorry. Especially better if you come here. The proof, right?"
"Now I realized. I should focus on learning. Do not ever fall in love.then I often say sorry to the family, Let Me Fall in Love. But reality is not as beautiful as dreams and love. I want to end this heartache. I want a list of courses at TUM. Munich has given me the spirit of starting a new life." Ami believes that Gina is still listening to his curses and closed her eyes. But suddenly his nose sniffed the scent of a familiar perfume in the sense of sounding.A Suddenly his blood rippled. It must be a hallucination, he thought.
"Cutie, wherever you go to college, I'll be with you."
