NIGHT BUTTERFLY
#78
Sulastri tidied up Rahima's tangled hair covering half of her face. Alternately, the womb does the same. He wiped Sulastri's tears and kissed her forehead. Mami Zelayin was silent. The two of them really made Zelayin's mom like a drama spectator. Wait for a long time and see how the two really complete their longing for each other. Sulastri held Rahima's hands.
"Let's sit down" asked Sulastri. Rahima nodded her head. Sulastri smiled when he saw Rahima was about to return to sit near Zelayin's mother. Sulastri immediately pulled Rahima's hand and invited her to sit nearby. Rahima looked down embarrassedly glancing towards Zelayin's mami.
Sulastri turned his gaze towards the mami Zelayin.
"Mommy, I hope your relationship with Rahima ends tonight." Sulastri stood up and stepped towards his desk which was located near the window of the house. He pulled out a black plastic bag from the drawer. After that, he stepped back to his seat.
Sulastri stared at Zelayin's mother's face for a moment. She sighed and smiled as Mami Zelayin chose to lower her head as Sulastri looked at her.
Sulastri placed the parcel in front of Zelayin's mother.
"Please count, Mommy. That's 50 million. I hope that all of Rahima's debts with Mami have been paid off" Sulastri said. Mami Zelayin sighed and tried to smile. He took the package in doubt. After staring for a moment at Suastri, he then opened it. He saw that some of the banknotes were tied for a while. He closed it and got up.
Mami Zelayin thrust her hand out to shake her hand.
"Well, I don't count first, Mi" Sulastri said. Her hand still shook Mami Zelayin's hand.
"No, it's late. I want to say goodbye" said Zelayin. Face sweats. He looked groggy Sulastri did not look back at his face. Sulastri.
Sulastri and Rahima follow Zelayin's mother from behind. Arriving on the porch of the house, Zelayin's mother turned her body slowly. Mami Zelayin let out a short sigh.
"Sulastri, Rahima, I'm sorry for what I did to you both. I promise to use this money for a more lawful effort" said Zelayin, bowing her head. Sulastri and Rahima smiled at each other. Sulastri rubbed his chest and stepped closer to Zelayin's mother. He held both shoulders of Zelayin's mother and hugged her. Mami Zelayin who did not expect to be hugged Sulastri, finally could not help crying. His cries sound louder. Her tears spilled on Sulastri's shoulders. The more Sulastri rubbed his back, the more he tightened his hold. Seeing that, Rahima approached and hugged the two. Her third cry broke again.
"I'm sorry, Lastri, Rahima. All this time I've been mean to you. I deserve to be severely punished" said Zelayin sobbing. Sulastri rubbed the back of Zelayin's mother.
"Thank God for still being given time to realize Mami's mistake. I also hope it will be better in the future. Without revenge or heartache. At first I really wanted to repay my heartache to Mami. But when my heart can be reconciled, then forgetting everything is a fun thing. We are both women. May the Lord make it easy for us to take His path" Sulastri said. He let go of his embrace. Mami Zelayin wiped her tears.
"Thank you, Lastri. I have to go home. The kids are waiting at home. I'll come visit you with them sometime. Surely after I have been able to open a better business," said mami Zelayin smiling. The three embraced back.
"Mi, send greetings to friends," said Rahima. Mami Zelayin smiled. After that, Zelayin's mother stopped and stepped towards her car. Sulastri and Rahima stared at her until Zelayin's mother got into her car.
Sulastri and Rahima wave as Zelayin's mama's car exits the gate.
The wall clock rang from inside the living room. It's 12 o'clock at night. The atmosphere in the courtyard of the house was back. The gate of the house has been closed. Mr. Bayan went back to his shelter and lay down.
Sulastri invites Rahima in and continues their conversation in the living room. Both seem happy. Rahima who never thought Sulastri's life was as luxurious as it was, seemed to be pacing around in the room. Pay attention to the furniture - luxury furniture in the house. Because Sulastri never told her true condition while together in the complex owned by Zelayin's mother, Rahima forced Sulastri to tell her story.

Jamblang stopped his motorcycle when he reached one of the large mahogany trees on the side of the road leading to a small downhill road beside him. He looked up at the small board with white writing. Cempaka Street. Jamblang nodded his head. He sighed and walked down the road to be more sure. Jamblang rewinded his steps when he saw a black pick-up car like it led to the main road. He immediately went back up and hid behind a tree while continuing to pay attention to the car that was getting closer to him. Jamblang set his gaze towards the bushes on the other side of the entrance to the small road. Feeling unsafe, he immediately pushed his motorcycle quickly towards the bushes.
Mami Zelayin stopped her car when she was about to take a slightly uphill road to the main road. The pebbles that accumulate make the wheels of the car slip.
Mami Zelayin sighed. He turned on the lights in his car and then got off. He turned on his cell phone flashlight and started checking the rear wheel of his car. Some pebbles that accumulate in front of the two rear wheels of the car, he removed.
Mami Zelayin got back on her car and started her car. The hermit who hid behind the bushes, raised his head. He nodded his head. He looked furious when he recognized the woman in the car was Zelayin's mother. He himself. She was sure that Zelayin's mother had just sent Rahima to the owner of the big house. That means, in the car that mami Zelayin has brought 50 million in return for finding Rahima.
"Bad. I won't let you profit by yourself Zelayin. The money you brought should be mine," growled with both molars at one another.
Seeing the car driven by mami Zelayin has not been able to ride the uphill road, Jamblang took a catapult from behind his clothes. Some of the pebbles he had piled near his feet were taken and put them in his catapult. Although the sound of Zelayin's mami car was heard loudly when forcing up to the main road, but Jamblang sure, people in the house will not notice it. The house was too big and spacious, plus the late night. He thought he should take action immediately before Zelayin's mother managed to raise her car up. The blind motor will not be able to chase the speed of the pick up car.
