Rudi versus Agas


"Please, Rud. We both have a disgrace, don't we? That's if you remember. Your company will also be destroyed. What will be left of you? What do you have besides the spoils? There's nothing!" Agas as if challenging Rudi. Though he himself actually did not have the guts if the man beside him was reckless. Whether the scandal of which Rudi would open, he himself could not guess.


"Basic wretch! Let's see it later. This is what you want. From now on, we walk in our own way. But remember, Gas! If until your son finds out what's behind his marriage to Dira, it's certain that it will be your first ruin. Remember well! I don't want to be broken alone." Rudi asked his driver to stop his car in front of a dispensary not far from the hospital to which the ambulance was carrying Dermawan.


"Let's go down, there's a lot of drugs and syringes that can be bought easily. Who knows, you changed your mind, or maybe you could come up with an idea crazier than me. Don't call me before we get one thought." Rudi blatantly drove Agas out of his car.


"Brengjeong. You are anjiing, Rud! I assure you, you are the one who is destroyed first." Agas curses and smiles cunningly at Rudi's car which starts moving away from him.


The distance of the hospital which was not too far from where Agas was lowered earlier, made the man step wide towards the place. A plan was neatly arranged in his head. Ideas that just happen and right at the time needed. Full of confidence, the first thing Agas wants to do right now is to find, meet, and talk to Deva before Dermawan or Widya precedes him.


Arriving at the hospital, Dermawan directly placed and treated in the ICU room. None of the people who were there were allowed to accompany the Benefactor. Widya, Debora, Deva, Dewa and Rudi, can only wait outside the ICU room.


"What are you doing with this family, Wa?" Rudi asked the Gods as soon as he saw the chance of his nephew being a bit away from the others.


"The same question is also worthy of God's reference to Om," replied the God without diminishing his respect for the sister of his mother.


"Om a good friend of Mr. Philanthropist. Is there anything strange?" search Rudi. The man was impressed to be covering something with his arrogance.


"Oh ... The gods knew Deborah a long time ago, it just so happened that Deva was necessary with them. So we came together," explained Dewa, deliberately answering as is to provoke Rudi's next reaction.


The man who was inviting the Gods to speak was just beheading his head while looking at Deva with a probing look. Every move made by Deva, did not escape from Rudi's observation. He was looking for an opening to talk to the personal assistant of the God alone. Because he did not know personally at all, it would be very strange if he immediately invited Deva to talk.


Not long after, Agas came among them. He casually approached Deva and said, "Dev, can Papa talk for a minute?" her door.


Deva of course could not refuse Agas' request. Despite a slight hesitation, the woman nodded her head slowly.


"just goblet. We're talking there." Agas pointed to a corridor connecting the ICU room with the laboratory.


The god glanced at Deva and Agas full of suspicion. Somehow, God felt papa from Dave was not as smooth and as good as the impression displayed.


Rudi realized and could clearly read the God's concern for Deva. He also drew a sly smile full of plans. "There's no harm in me trying this way" he said in his heart.


****


After arriving at the passageway in question, Agas stopped his steps, as did Deva. The two people exchanged glances with gazes that were difficult to decipher.


"What do you want to say?" ask Deva without a stale base.


"What is your relationship with the Philanthropic family?" Agas asked back.


"Nothing, Pa. More precisely there is no. I don't know for sure." Deva answered honestly.


"Be careful with them, Dev. They are good with you, because they have big mistakes. Papa's been so close to them lately. Papa's looking for evidence to file a review of your papa's case. I don't think papa is calm. After your father died, Papa was increasingly encouraged to seek the truth." Agas looked at Deva earnestly. As if you want to be sure if what is said is true.


Deva did not chim in on what Agas said. His little heart said the closeness of Agas, Rudi, and Dongrandan was not because of the things mentioned by Agas. Deva was not a child whose way of thinking could be arranged easily. From the arrival of Agas and Rudi earlier, it was clear that Widya was not so happy with the presence of the two men.


"The Philanthropic family obviously didn't like us. Because they didn't want to have Donors rot in prison at the end of his life. And they use you as a shield so that their sins may be forgiven. All the good that's done, it's just one way that if this case comes to light, you're not suing them."


Deva was speechless. The woman banged her back against the cold ceramic wall behind her. It was clear in Deva's ears, how the father reminded him not to easily believe in others. Not even friends, relatives, or relatives. Politics knows no genetic similarities, blood types, let alone background similarities.


"That looks good, not necessarily good, Dev. Especially the ones that are clearly evil. You are an adult, you can sort out what is right and wrong. Papa may fail to be your father-in-law. But papa won't stop watching you. Papa promised to take care of you. Then Papa will do it until the end of Papa's life."


Agas' words may sound sweet to someone else's ears. Not so for Deva. He seemed to have lost the sincerity he felt before. Deva's respect for Agas was slightly reduced after the incident at the airport and at Debora's house earlier.


"The father just wanted to say that. Believe it or not, it is up to you. Papa go home first." Agas patted Deva's arm gently. Then the man turned around and set a wide foot towards the exit.


Same with Agas who intends to instill a thought in Deva. Rudi was doing the same thing to the gods. The difference, Rudi did not understand at all, if his nephew was a little already know what was behind the presence of Deva at the house of Deborah.


"Wa, if you care about your friend, please warn your friend. Don't get too close to the Philanthropic family. If your friend is Amar's son, it means that the philanthropic family is approaching so that one day he does not get an official claim."


"What does all this have to do with Om Rudi?What's the importance of talking to me about it?" The god looked at Rudi so sharply.
