The Neglected Pearl
Part 147 Received

“Where did you find him?”

“In the bathtub, maybe he wants to save himself by trying to get into the tub.”

“Yes Allah, pity very much Rodiah.”

“Where is this Sir?” ask Uyung.

“Grandmother we will bury properly, you all do not need to worry ya.”

“Iya, Sir! grandma,” all the children were crying for the departure of Nek Rodiah who had been with them.

Uyung, who always took care of Rodiah and pushed the old woman's wheelchair, looked so sad, Uyung felt lost.

The calamity that befell the parlour, had invited many pairs of eyes to come say the greatest condolence to Dika, including that time Mang Ojo and the others who had also been present at that time.

Handoko, who was coming with Bima and Nurul, immediately checked the condition of the orphanage. Handoko, suspicious, tries to remain silent and asks no one but Dika.

“Boleh Father ask you something son?” handoko asked Dika.

“Father wants to ask what?”

“Do you have cctv, in this home care home?”

“There sir, why, Father ask that?”

“Two days passed, Riza ran away from the hospital, who knows she's the arsonist.”

“Oh, so, let's see the cctv who knows from there we can confirm who is the mastermind of this burning.

To confirm the incident, the four of them immediately rushed into Dika's house, because the cctv was deliberately in Dika's house.

Patiently Handoko looked forward to the moments Riza did that night, indeed beyond their expectations at all, looking Riza waltzing casually, entering the parlour, not just that, he said, Riza even had a chance to sit quietly before she set fire to the parlour.

On the cctv, they also saw clearly that it was from Riza's hands that the lighter came. After the fire was successfully lit, Riza seemed to sit quietly waiting for the fire to enlarge and when the fire devoured part of the nursery room then Riza walked out quietly.

Not only that, at a time when all the children of the orphanage were busy to save themselves, Riza seemed to laugh happily from outside the fence, she even clapped her hands in joy at that time.

Handoko's tears seemed to trickle down his cheeks, he did not know what else to do, so that the child did not make trouble, because the impact, Handoko also will bear all the losses.

While taking a deep breath, Handoko could only be stunned sitting in the corner of the wall, her tongue was too faint to speak, nothing, words that could be strung together to explain what she was going to say.

Dika was very understanding of the situation, with a soft approach Handoko who seemed weakened, accepted the fate of his only son.

“Don't take it sad, sir,” said Dika slowly.

“My son has been killing me slowly, Dik.”

“I do not want to extend this problem, which has happened let it be so, now we think how to build this home back together, so that, so that, kids can quietly stay in it.”

“So, you didn't report this to Dik?” police

“No sir, because I know what you are feeling right now. All we think about is, how to build this home as soon as possible, so that hundreds of children return comfortably to occupy it.

“Well, all my building materials bear the cost,” Handoko said starting it.

“All the contents of their rooms and equipment I will bear,” continued Mirwan later.

“My school supplies and their daily clothes will bear it,” timpal Nurul from the doorstep.

“wages of my workers who will bear later,” said Alhuda who also took part in it.

Hearing the ability of all of them, Dika's heart became happy, then they made a work agreement, and involved many elements in the construction of the home.

After the agreement was reached, starting from that day, the construction of the orphanage began to be carried out, approximately four hundred children of the orphanage were waiting for the repair of the construction of the orphanage. Intan and Defi are ready for twenty-four hours serving those who need help.

Not only building materials that came on that day, heavy equipment was also deployed to knock down the remaining ruins of the parlors that were still left to be leveled.

They all work shoulder to shoulder.

Nothing was in trouble in the construction, everything went according to the plan that has been agreed.

To divert the sadness felt by Handoko, Septi tried to offer a warm drink to his employer.

“Master, drink this tea first, so that the mind of the master becomes a little calm.”

“Thanks, Sep.”

“Sama-sama sir,” Septi replied while slightly away from Handoko.“Sir is thinking of Den Riza huh?” continue later.

“Yes, Sep. The boy always makes trouble, even this time he burns down the parlour that has killed a resident.”

“God's Assya!” septi was surprised.

“I don't know what else to do, Sep. I feel tired of bearing the burden of this pain.”

“Patient sir, there may be wisdom behind all this.”

“Entah Sep, we do not know what else will happen after this.”

Hearing Handoko's words, Septi became creeped out in fear, because Riza had a mental disorder, it could be the next victim Handoko or most likely she herself.

“Why if for a while we leave this house first, sir, we find a safe place to hide, until Riza can be found.”

“Free Sep, sooner or later, he will definitely meet me.”

“But I'm afraid Mr.”

“If you are afraid, you can stop working here first, later if Riza has been found, then you go back to work.”

“Good sir,” replied Septi who had been waiting for that decision for a long time.

After getting permission from his employer, Septi immediately rushed to pack his goods. Septi plans to return to his hometown of Prubolinggo, seeing his long-time mother living working to Jakarta.

When all the clothes were packed in a suitcase, Septi rushed out of the house that night.

“I beg you to say thank you,” said Septi hand saluting Handoko.

“Now you leave Sep?”

“Iya Tuan,” Septi replied slowly.

“Is there still a car, tonight is Sep?”

“I stayed at aunty's house first Mr.”

“Ooo, so.”

“Then excuse me Mr.”

“Do you have Sep money?”

“There's Mr.”

“This is a little money for you, accept it,” Handoko said while handing over several hundred bills to Septi.

“Thanks Mr.”

“Later if the atmosphere is safe, I will report back.”

“Good Sir, I'm sorry.”

“Yes, be careful on the road.”

“Good, Sir,” Septi replied as he stepped away from Handoko alone.
