Muslimah and Mr. Mafia
Chapter 12's

Rere let Ima wander around the outer surroundings of the mansion alone. Of course, by order of Barnard. He deliberately left Ima alone so that Ima could feel more free and could be free to do whatever he wanted. But, still Ima is still in the view of cctv cameras.

Currently Ima is in a beautiful garden, the neat green grass even when stepped directly with bare feet will feel soft. The place is very fragrant comes from the fragrance of flowers that bloom. It was indeed that atmosphere made Ima feel much calmer than before.

His fear began to diminish, his longing for father and his mother also did not make him feel too sad anymore, either, because he imagined his father and mother were already in a much more beautiful place than the garden he was seeing right now.

"O Allah, may you place your father and mother in the most beautiful place on your side. Aamiin's."

Ima momentarily chanted prayer beads while staring at the beautiful scenery in front of his eyes. After that, Ima opened her Qur'an and began to read it in a slow voice that was quite heard by her own ears. His heart felt more calm when chanting the beautiful verse, coupled with a gentle gust of wind also added a sense of comfort and calm in his heart.

Ima continued to read the beautiful verse, without caring for some maids who were in charge of taking care of the garden and cleaning the front yard of the mansion. She continued reading and they did not bother her at all.

Five minutes…

Ten minutes…

Twenty minutes…

Thirty minutes…

Time passed and Ima was still focused on reading the Qur'an. Until finally Rere came to him on the orders of Barnard who was worried about Ima who had been sitting too long in the garden gazebo.

"Mrs.." Call Rere slowly.

The Muslim turned his head immediately after he finished his reading. He looked at Rere who was smiling at him by holding a plate filled with rolls and also an ice capucino in the other hand.

"Feed first. This is a direct delivery from Mr. Barnard." said Rere who looked more relaxed on Ima, in contrast to the previous one who seemed too formal on him.

"You called me Ima?" Tanya Ima looked confusedly at her best friend.

Rere nodded, then he sat down near Ima. "Master allowed me to call you that."

"Rere.." Ima hugged her best friend. He was happy because finally Rere no longer called her by the name of miss.

"Eat first, Ima. Later I can be scolded if you don't eat." Said Rere while taking off Ima's embrace from her.

"I don't want to eat alone, after all the bread is too big and I can't finish it, Re."

Ima said that with the intention that her best friend would join her to eat with one loaf of bread.

"Yes, I ate too." Reply Rere agreed which made Ima smile happily.

They ate the bread together and drank the ice capucinonya also alternated from the same straw without any disgust at all. Of course they are not disgusted, because indeed they have been that close for a long time.

"Re, do you have a cell phone?" Tanya Ima arrived on the sidelines to enjoy their food.

"Have. Why?"

"Can I borrow it?"

"I want to find out the news about the night of my mother's accident, Re." Reveal it.

Ima just remembered, that he did not even find out what kind of accident his father and his mother had until he died. Though as far as Ima knows, father never speeding when riding a motorcycle. And also his father always hearted in the streets when driving.

Yes, even if his father and mother were destined to die in an accident, at most they would only get minor injuries. But, what Ima saw on the bodies of both parents was really very severe injuries, as if the father and his mother fell due to speeding on the highway while driving and was hit by another vehicle.

"Just a minute, I'll take it."

Rere rushed into the mansion and headed for his room on the first floor of another building behind the kitchen. Yes, this is where the rooms of all the maids are. While the other mafia members' rooms are in another building at the back of the mansion.

After getting his phone, Rere immediately took it to Ima.

"Nih my phone. You can find anything. The internet is so good."

"I borrow it first, Re."

Rere nodded happily.

Ima also began using Rere's cell phone to find out about the accident of his father and his mother that night. Surely there are some articles that write about the accident that night. Unfortunately, what was written in the article was that no one stated that the father and his mother were hit by another vehicle. There was only a witness who saw his father's motorbike speeding very fast suddenly lost control and bounced on the sidewalk.

"Loh, I never used to speed when riding a motorcycle.." Said Rere who also really knows how dad when riding a motorcycle.

"Well that's right, Re. I thought it was weird too. Dad never speeded on a motorcycle, but the circumstances of the father and mother I saw when we bathed their bodies, the injuries they had as if they had been hit by a truck, or maybe a car, he said, anyway I'm sure dad and mom were hit instead of falling alone."

Rere was silent for a moment. He seemed to think of something. "Is it possible that uncle did it?" Guess he suspected the man.

"Why do you think uncle did it, Re?"

"Yes of course I guess so, because after father and mother died, he immediately sold you and also sold your house Ima." Said Rere who can also be trusted and reasonable according to Ima.

"If it was my uncle who did that, I would never forgive him, Re. I'll sue him and imprison him once I'm free of this place." His bluff was full of the pressure of anger and emotion.

Seeing Ima like that made Rere pity his best friend. "You can never be free from this place, Ima. Even if Mr. Barnard let you go, you will not be as well as you are today. He's a ruthless man, he's an Ima mobster. He'll keep you locked up in this place forever." Rere muttered staring pity at his best friend.

"Re, help me.." Ima stared deep in Rere's face.

"I can't help you to get out of this place, Ima. I don't want to lose my life in vain. My sister and mother still need me."

"No. Not helping me get out of this place, Ima. But, help me to investigate the reason the mafia locked me in this place."

"Ima, did you forget. Mr. Barnard bought you from uncle. That's why he made you his prisoner in this place."

"I know that, Ima. Why is he treating me like this. Look, the mafia should've tortured me, locked me in a dungeon or whatever. Did you forget how the plot of the mafia novel you read first, Ima. The mafia is cruel and bloodthirsty as well as thirsty for biological desires.."

Ima wasn't too innocent to not understand about it. Of course, she is a mature woman and do not forget she is a teacher and also she has learned how to read situations, circumstances and also mimic the face of someone.

Ima does not know exactly what the mafia is like. But, from the mafia's treatment last night and this morning, Ima was able to conclude that the man had no intention of hurting her or making her a slave at all. The mafia man treated her with great heart and also attached great importance to her comfort. That's what makes Ima curious, will be the real reason the mafia kept him in this mansion.
