Tama And Ratna
55. Surrender

Bagas went straight to Tama. He was determined to accept whatever his best friend was going to do. He felt guilty for making his best friend fucked up like this. Nesya held Bagas back from entering, but Bagas insisted. He needs to finish it right now. Otherwise he would not have guaranteed what would happen to Tama and his wife because Bagas knew exactly what Zahra was.

"Ji, if I said I wanted to help you win Zahra you would believe me?" ask Bagas suddenly.

"Believe the same after everything you've done? I'm not stupid."

"I don't care if you believe me or not. The point is I just want to say, Zahra who has made your wife get rich gini, and another Zahra has lied to all of us. She was not paralyzed," said Bagas clearly making Tama speechless.

"What?"

Bagas finally explained in detail how all this could happen. With the rest of his strength he asked the commander for permission so that there was one member guarding Ratna in the hospital. Luckily Mr. Slamet gave permission and sent a police officer to guard Ratna. Bagas returned to his home while Tama carried an investigation warrant to come to the hospital to ask permission to view the cctv footage. About 3 hours Tama finally found someone suspicious recorded by cctv. Tama took him as evidence and then he went to the police to report.

After reporting it to the police and making sure the investigation team had started moving, Tama returned to the headquarters. When he reached the headquarters, Mr. Leo immediately approached him.

"Aji. Where the hell have you been? This is the hospital call saying your wife can get out of the ICU. He has returned to his ward" Mr. Leo told Aji.

"God, I'm sorry and I'm out of the police taking care of my wife's case" said Aji.

"Cases?"

"My wife is sick not because of her condition that is declining but there are indications of poisoning a drug that makes her fail to breathe. I initially thought this was malpractice, not that Bagas came with a confession. I've investigated immediately."

"Are you sure Ji?"

"God willing. I am ready to accept the consequences if Bagas is indeed proven guilty" said Aji.

"If you want me to mutate?" ask Mr. Leo.

"meaning?"

"Barusan Dansat Polda DIY call me, he said lack of personnel. They lost 2 officers who rose through the ranks and were drawn to Mabes. If you want me to try to get your name to move there," Mr. Leo said.

"Oh obviously did not refuse sir. If possible I would propose myself" said Aji.

"Yes, you have prepared the administration. I wait."

"Each commander," Tama replied respectfully.

Finally, her dreams and prayers to bring Ratna home were finally answered as well. He could not bear to see Ratna constantly here. Because it was certain that Tama would move after completing this task, he first moved Ratna to Jogja. Tama approached Ratna and carefully spoke to her. His condition had indeed improved but he was still unable to escape from his nasal cannula. He was also still unable to do many things because his head was still so heavy.

"Dek, guess what the news is," said Tama who with a smile came to approach his wife who was still lying in the gurney.

"What?" answer Ratna slowly.

"Mas will be transferred to Jogja. Once your case is over, we can go home. You still want to move there?"

"Alhamdulillah Mas."

"Mas plans to move you first to Jogja. What do you think Dek?" ask Tama.

Ratna shook her head, "Bareng aja Mas, I don't want to split up."

"Related?"

"Related. I can quit my job now but I don't want to go there first. I want us to be together from here. I came here with Mas, when I got out of here I had to be the same Mas," Ratna said making Tama smile proudly at his wife.

"You are healthy then. Spirit yuk, healthy spit so that you can immediately take care of the transfer. Mas can not promise that there later your life will be better than here, but at least you are close to Father and Mother. There are also your friends who Mas sure will be able to accompany you. Let's not be alone anymore" Tama said.

"Yes," answered Ratna.

...***...

"Zahra, when are you going to hide?" ask Bagas to Zahra who is no longer using his wheelchair.

"I? Hiding from what? You said you'd protect me yourself. Do your job, you're my husband, right?" said lightly.

"You're nuts. I'm sorry I married you" Bagas said.

"Repent? You begged me to accept you yourself and now you're sorry?"

"Stop Zahra. Stop this whole thing. You've changed too much. You shouldn't be like this. I love you, I love you, that's why I don't want you to go too far. Aji is not yours. Let him go."

"unleash? You mean I have to let go of Aji and accept you that way? You said it yourself, don't you, accepting someone you don't love is painful? You want me to feel like that?!"

"I never said or even asked you to accept me. I'm just asking you to let go of that Aji. Was difficult? He was happy with his wife. As a friend, I couldn't see Aji slump so deeply that his wife was helpless."

"But I will never stop. Because what? Because I love Aji," said Zahra.

"Then I will be forced to stop you. I accept all the risks" Bagas said.

He immediately ran into the room and confiscated all of Zahra's belongings. Mobile phones, passports, he even saw a ticket heading to Berlin on Zahra's behalf along with a brown envelope containing a check. He seized everything without rest. He did not even hesitate to tear the brown envelope along with the contents.

"You want to run abroad? Don't hope. Next week you're coming with me to court. And before that, I'll put you in jail" Bagas said.

That night Bagas took Zahra forcibly to the police prison. Although he was forced to admit if he took part in hiding the suspect and made himself dragged. Tama who heard the news from Nesya immediately ran away leaving Ratna who had just fallen asleep. Tama saw for herself how the two people she knew so well were crouching behind bars.

"Gas, you yang...,"

"Sorry Ji, I'm breaking a promise. I'm hiding Zahra so you can't catch her" said Bagas.

"Gue still loves him Ji, and that's what made me stupid until I closed my eyes. I should have known from the beginning that Zahra would not be able to change, but I still insist on believing he is able to change. I was wrong. If I were to be assertive with myself, from the beginning, none of this would happen" Bagas said.

"Ji, before I go I want to say something to you."

"Zahra is not alone. He's got a pretty good backing" Bagas said.

"You mean?"

"Where do you think Zahra could have the cure? What was injected into your wife wasn't an indiscriminate drug, Ji. I also found some more evidence at my house. This is the address, you can take the investigation team there and check everything," Bagas said as he handed Tama a piece of paper and asked Tama to leave immediately.

Tama's heart was torn apart. Not only because he saw the condition of Bagas who was still wearing his uniform had to languish in prison, he also saw Zahra was already sitting helplessly in the corner of the room. Tama has confidence, if he can not save Zahra, at least he is still able to embrace Bagas to return but in fact his best friend chose to give up and take off his uniform just like that.

The second trial is final. Zahra was also sentenced to Bagas. Tama is still lucky enough that his best friend was only fired from the union but did not arrive in prison. At least Bagas can still continue his life. To fix what he has done. Tama booked a ticket for Bagas back to his hometown, he also decided to temporarily provide protection to Bagas until at least he had the strength to stand alone.

"Why are you still good with me?"

"My wife's request is Gas. You were my best friend. Until now I will still consider you my best friend. So don't ever ask me for help" said Tama.

"I wonder the same about Lo Ji. How can you find an angel as good as he is from where? You don't pantes for him to know, "goda Bagas.

"He's only one in the world and that's for me. Pratama Aji's. Don't try to take him away from me. I have a head," said Aji.

"But Ji I really want to say thank you to your wife. There was one day he came to me and told me the same. I was a man. Not trashed and enslaved women. I salute him too. He's got Zahra's old medical records. He knew from when Zahra was declared healed and not paralyzed. But he didn't take it to Elo. He even brought it to me. He even said congratulations to me, he said Zahra was not paralyzed, so I don't need to be sad," Bagas said, making Tama remember Ratna's smile that disappeared a few weeks ago.

"It was melow gini. I'll go first Ji. Take good care of your wife. And sorry for what I've done to Zahra lakain elo and wife. I will never ask for more than an apology" Bagas said.

"Gue I'm sorry Lo. If my wife can slap it to elo, I'd be shy of him if I'm not sorry elo. Keep up with Gas. Oh yeah, you got the greetings from Cece. He said you are waiting to play to where he is," said Aji who then let go of his best friend Bagas.

Tama is disappointed not to be able to defend Bagas and Zahra who are his friends. If Ratna has Dipta, Jay, Theo, and Radea, Tama also has Bagas, Zahra, and Cece. They were four of Akpol's friends at the time. But due to many unpleasant events the four split. Right now, they have a chance to fix it again. They've fixed it, but to get back together, it seems like it's going to be hard to make it happen. After everything that happened, they realized that they should be able to step into their respective paths. So that when they meet at the intersection later, they are always in good condition.
