Pickup Transportation
Section 241: Hestia 5
“Sum, just got home?” Deden who happened to pass after driving his ojek passengers met Suminah who was only escorted to the front of his home alley by Nicko.
“Iya Den, this just came home.”
“You were ushered home?” Deden asked.
“Still Den, walk aja.” Even though it was night, but Suminah did not want to be escorted because she felt embarrassed, escorted by a motorcycle taxi driver who obviously liked her.
“Sum, that's your girlfriend's heart, delivery time only until the front gang.” Deden turned out not to give up, he continued to follow Suminah with the motor turned off.
“Kan, the car does not fit into our alley.” Suminah was still trying to respond calmly.
“Ya the car can not enter, but the person, can enter.” Deden still continued to babble, Suminah who had been walking and trying not to heed, suddenly stopped walking.
“That's because he doesn't have as much time as you, the taxi driver, he's the director of a big company, so I feel it's only natural that he doesn't have time to mince words with my family, we will get married soon, so I do not want to cause rumors that do not-no, the future wife of the Director is escorted by the ojek.”
The scathing words of Suminah made Deden fixated, he did not expect that Suminah was speaking so harshly.
“You're stupid or what about Sum? He's using you, the proof is that he's not afraid you're going to get hurt when it's night, he should have taken you home if he was serious about you. From the front of the alley to your house, you have to walk for ten minutes, is not last night too dangerous for the future wife of the Board of Directors to walk alone?” Deden was still trying to convince Suminah.
“Be quiet, ten minutes, what the hell can happen, I'm used to going home at night and always be fine.” Suminah walked away from Deden who looked very angry because he was called a motorcycle taxi driver, although that is true, but that insult has nothing to do with work.
The night turned into morning, but unlike the usual morning, someone shouted, Mr. RT has been gathering residents since after the dawn prayer.
Suminah's parents reported that Suminah did not come home overnight, since midnight Suminah's parents had met Mr. RT, but Mr. RT only asked them to wait, after dawn came, after dawn, his parents screamed for finding something very scary on his doorstep, a pair of bloodied and dirty Suminah shoes.
His parents then reported to Mr. RT, so Mr. RT gathered the residents, finding out if anyone looked suspicious at midnight, because if the shoes were placed in front of his house, he said, someone should have seen it when the shoe was put.
But strangely the patrol did not see anything strange, they gathered as usual and went around to make sure that their village was safe.
“Nothing strange sir, no strangers coming when we were on guard, everyone passing by we knew, the last one coming for the patrol was Deden, he said, he was late because he was out of service with passengers.
The rest is nothing suspicious Mr. RT. So, where do we find Suminah now? Should be in his office, right? or the prospective husband who is always his Sumina parents always talk about it.”
One officer spoke on behalf of the other.
“Deden, didn't you see Suminah when she came home that night? Or anyone else, you'll be the last one to enter this village.” Mr. RT immediately asked Deden.
“Hmmm, that night after dropping off the passengers, I did not see Suminah or any stranger sir, it was a quiet night. But, something strange, there's a car parked in front of this alley of our village, I don't know what the purpose is, but it looks like he's observing the village, here's the license plate, for suspicion I wrote.” Deden gave the license plate the number he suspected.
Then Pak Lurah took the license plate record and called Suminah's parents to talk more about Suminah's hilan.
“We have to report to the Police Sir, Mom, because it concerns the disappearance of people, but before that, rather than later embarrassing, because we were wrong, I want to ask first, do you guys fight with Suminah?” Mr. RT asked.
“No, we never quarreled, Suminah was a dutiful child and always pleased us, we never curbed Suminah at all, we always gave her permission and support whatever Suminah wanted.”
“Then, did Suminah tell you about her future husband? It's possible that they had a fight and are now solving the problem?”
“Suminah's uncle has been to Suminah's office, because Suminah is an employee in the company of her future husband, so I asked her uncle to come there and ask about Suminah to her lover. But unfortunately, he said Suminah did not enter work and Suminah yesterday returned home as usual, a little late but still it was usual Suminah.” return hours His father Suminah explained.
“No, whose car plate is this?” His father Suminah asked.
“Deden noticed that there was a suspicious car parked in front of this alley of our village last night, Deden recorded his number just in case, when he found out Suminah was missing, he gave this car license plate number so that it can be used as evidence if needed.”
“Oh so, then, let's go to the Police Station Pak.” His father Suminah invited Mr. RT, while his mother Suminah was still hysterical, afraid her son became a victim of crime.
After arriving at the Police, Mr. RT, his father Suminah and his uncle Suminah entered the complaint room of missing persons.
Explained sitting his case, as well as providing evidence of his car license plate number, who knows who can be traced who the owner is and it could be he is the one who made Suminah disappear.
After reporting it, everyone went home and waited for the police to provide further information.
One day, two days, three days to a week there was no news, but when Suminah's parents were about to ask the Police for help again, Mr. RT came to give the news that they were all called to the Police station, a Police officer went to Mr. RT's house and asked Mr. RT and Suminah's parents to come there immediately.
As soon as he reached the police station, there was already a man sitting on his back to them, he was giving a report.
“Pak do you know this man?” ask the police who are interrogating the man who has come first.
“It doesn't feel like, who is this sir?” ask his father Suminah.
“He is the owner of the contractor company, where Suminah works.” His father Suminah looked very shocked, meaning this would be his son's husband, indeed all this time they had never met, from Suminahlah his parents knew that he would soon marry his boss, he said, although actually the meeting between them had not happened, his parents had been fanatical about the marriage.
Nicko the future husband looks tangled, his face is not passionate and shoots, the examination for the last four hours is frustrating.
“You mean my son's girlfriend huh?” His father asked, hoping that there was little empathy for his son.
“Pacar? no, we're not dating.” Nicko clearly said it, it made his father Suminah fixated, he was very confused, this man did not acknowledge Suminah.
“But, said my son, the owner of his company is the boss who wants to marry him, it's you!” His father looks angry because his son is underestimated. All this time Suminah's parents did not force to meet because they knew, maybe Suminah was afraid that if Nicko saw his family, he would be underestimated. Hence when Suminah did not attempt to bring them together, it must have been due to embarrassment.
“Do not compose Sir, I have children and wife.” Nicko said out loud.
His father sat down, he was really confused, because his son might have been deceived.
“Have no more fuss!” Police warned that his father Suminah was silent, Nicko was the same, silent.
“I call his boss Suminah, because the car license plate number you gave me the other day, is this guy's license plate.” The police looked down on Nicko.
“I'm not there sir, it's possible that the person who gave the license plate was wrong and thought I was there.” Nicko tried to argue.
“There is no way Deden was wrong, he had a more watchful eye than anyone young man in our village, he couldn't be wrong.” His father defended the man who was actually very much approved to be a future husband, but unfortunately, Suminah does not love him, so Deden looks very hardworking in order to soon follow into being the man of Suminah's dreams.
But what is said, fate is different, Suminah went home first by causing a lot of problems in the village.
“Sir, investigate this man, he may have kidnapped my son because they had a fight, he turned out to have had children and a wife, he said, it could have been my son demanding marriage but this man did not want to and ended up kidnapping this child Sir, please check him Sir, please do justice for difficult people like us Pak.” His father Suminah was not sure his son was still alive let alone see how calm Nicko's face when telling him there was no relationship with Suminah.
