Trapped in Ramadhan
Part 14 - Invisible Protector

...Invisible Protector...

8 Ramadan. Nightly.

When I was in the front yard of Al-Alim Mosque, I could feel the black aura that appeared along with the image in my mind that showed the location coming from the Motorcycle Workshop and the tire patch belonging to Rian and his Brother. So, I ran as fast as I could towards the Motor Brothers. There are two motorcycles parked on the terrace Ruko to the right whose door is only open one part of it. I recognize this green-black and blue-black motor. And the hatred that was coming out from inside the shophouse was also recognized.

I ran into the shophouse and found a scene that did not surprise me too much. As I thought, the two bikes in front of Ruko were the same bike that the three Rian rokers were carrying, and here they were. The fat-bodied youth and the big-nose Youth held Rian's right and left hands. While the Youth hair pigtail keeps a distance in front of him and raises the exhaust motor that is about one meter long, holding the Header or exhaust neck with both hands like a baseball bat, ready to be knocked into Rian's head. At the sight of that, the image of the Two-wheeled Gang member lying on the asphalt with his head full of blood and his friend January in the same situation as the brawl on the field instantly rose to my mind. Nah! I can't let anything like that happen again!

I darted forward between Rian and the pigtail Youth. Focused myself on holding the exhaust with both hands to keep it from penetrating and hitting Rian behind me.

"What the fuck!?" The young man in a confused pigtail saw the exhaust he swung being held up in the air.

By then the strength of his grip was reduced and I was able to snatch the exhaust from his hand. I moved my hand to the end of the exhaust neck, lifted it and smashed it into the head of the Ponytail Youth who was still agape.

"Aghhhh!!" His roar when Silencer's muffler hit his head.

While the pigtail Youth was still in pain while holding her head, I swung again the exhaust to hit her left thigh, and continued her left side abdomen. Then I turned the exhaust again in the air and hit his right head until he was down to the side. Then I continued to attack him several times until he fell down.

"Ha. ha. ghost!" The young man screamed a big nose from behind me with a frightened face.

He let go of Rian's hand and ran towards the door, but I grabbed him with the exhaust until he fell down. As he lay back down, I approached him with the exhaust raised high.

"Don't... No!" He begged with a face full of sweat.

But I don't intend to listen to him. They've been ganged up on Rian last night. Tonight they came to do it again. They even planned to beat Rian with this exhaust I was holding. I'm sure they won't stop until they're content to beat him up. The three of them were pitiful, merciless humans. They don't deserve pity.

I blew the exhaust a few times until his big face and nose spit out fresh blood. As she tries to protect her face, squeeze her unprotected stomach and legs. I beat this big nose young man until his hands no longer covered his face and just lay on the floor helplessly.

"Raghhh!!" The fat young man who lunged forward and held the Silencer exhaust with both hands.

I tried to pull the exhaust to get away from him. But his strength seems to multiply and be able to withstand the power of my Jin. So I'll just take this exhaust off. As soon as he mastered the exhaust completely, the fat Youth immediately swung it around strongly while shouting loudly. Maybe he hopes to get to me. A sad sight of a miserable human being. Unfortunately I still have to stop the fat Youth from embarrassing herself.

I darted out of Ruko, lifted one of the truck tires in front of the door next door, and darted again to the open door, then threw it inside. The fat youth bounced back after the truck tire hit his body from the front. He fell into a glass cabinet where the parts sold are on display.

"Agh!! My hand!" Shouted The fat youth while holding the right shoulder with one hand. "Aghhhh!!"

I picked up the exhaust that had slipped out of his hand and began to hit it many times until his face was bruised and bleeding. When I finished, I looked at the fat Youth who sat down while grimacing limp in front of me. I turned to the big nose Youth lying on the floor. And I turned to face the pigtail Youth who tried to rise in a position that was still crawling. I approached him and hit him on the back until he fell down again while screaming in pain.

I just beat up three humans who were raking at Rian who were no longer even members of the Two-wheeled Gang they hated. Adam's words about people who forgive and are forgiven each other. It seems not all humans can do that. These three Youths had no intention of forgetting the grudge against the Two-wheeled Gang and forgiving Rian for his Gang-related past. They obviously don't deserve to be forgiven either.

After I removed the exhaust I used to hit these three humans and looked around the room, I realized Rian was no longer here. I can't blame him for running in fear after seeing the exhaust and the truck tires hovering inside his Rukonya. Maybe he should leave this place. I have to go too.

It was only natural that Rian would never forgive the three young men who ganged on him. That's why I was shocked when I saw Rian coming back to this place with three humans.

"Inside!" Rian Seru.

"Astaghfiullah!" Say one of them. An adult male in his late thirties. "Why is this, Rian?"

"I don't know, either, Om." Fast Rian.

"Explain it later. We help them first." Said a fat-bodied adult male in his forties.

Then they checked the situation of the three young men I just beat up all out.

"It's sliding!" The last male exclaimed as he examined the fat Youth. "We're taking it to the hospital!" The man who still looks quite young, may be in his late twenties.

"Let me pick up the pick-up first at home." Say the oldest man before he comes out of the shop.

Before long, the man returned with a Pick-up Truck behind which was carpeted. There were two adult males riding behind the Pick-up. Meanwhile from the passenger seat in front of the girl who is no stranger.

"These are the people who once bothered me, sir!" Bella informs the Pick-up owner who turns out to be her father after recognizing the pigtail boy Rian is riding behind the other human-assisted Pick-up.

"Later the story. The important thing is these kids get taken to the hospital first." Reply to Bella's father who helped raise the fat Youth.

After raising the three Youths to the top of the Pick-up, Bella's father left along with four other adult males. Rian promised to follow after cleaning his workshop. Assisted with Bella, the two of them tidied up the items inside the shop.

"You want to tell me why the three of them are that bad?" Ask Bella.

"You won't believe me." Rian Sahut.

"When do I not trust you?" Reply Bella.

Rian turned to Bella who was looking at him with a serious expression on her face. "It... Weird, Bell!"

"Seaneh what?" Urged Bella.

Then Rian gave up and told what happened through his perspective. The three youths who came and directly ganged at him. The exhausts are moving on its own and beating them. The floating tire hit the fat youth. And he who finally ran out of Ruko to meet Bella's father and other humans, then bring them back.

"I know you don't believe." Said Rian to Bella who only kept quiet after hearing the story.

"No! I believe you! But I just... It's a shock." Definitely Bella.

"Yes!" Pekik Rian's. "I've seen a lot of blood in the bawuran. But this... It's new to me."

Then after putting the two motorcycles on the terrace into the shophouse and locking the door, Rian and Bella drive after Bella's father to the hospital.

"They survived?" Adam asked after I told him what had just happened on the Brothers Motorcycle.

"Yes. They survived. Bad, but congratulations." My answer. We were at Adam's house.

"Because that's why your bandages are getting more open?" Adam asked, pointing at my arm.

"What do you mean?" I asked while looking at my own arm.

It was just my fingers up to my wrist that had lost the bandage. But now the bandages on both of my arms have been removed to the extent of the elbow.

"I'm just sober now." I admit. "Do you think my actions are right?"

"I'm just a human being." Adam Say. "Even if I say your actions are right, my judgment could be wrong." Further. "The opposite is true as well. Because I'm only human. Man is never always right."

That's not the answer I was expecting. But maybe that's how it is.

"But I think you're overreacting!" Adam said suddenly. "You're beating an opponent who's not worth your abilities."

"They are too!" I defended myself. "They ganged up on Rian, twice!"

"Their actions are unjustified." Adam said. "But your actions are also unjustified."

"If I don't help him. Rian who is now hospitalized." My objection.

"And now there are three people who are hospitalized."

"Look at the positive side. Now they won't dare attack Rian again."

"Why can you be sure? Last night you scared them, but they still attacked Rian today. Any idea where they're not gonna get any more revenge after they get out of the hospital?"

Adam's last question hit me like a blue fireball. The three Youths had once been severely beaten by the Two-wheeled Gang. And as a result they became vengeful and even attacked former members like Rian. After I scared them when I came to this place to ambush Rian who I helped escape from them last night, they still attacked Rian, even to the point where he lived. What will stop them from getting their revenge.

Suddenly I remembered. I've witnessed the destruction of prolonged grudges from humans and the formation of friendships after. January, the beginning, and their friends are proof of that. There may indeed be hope for a more human-to-human relationship. It's probable...

"Their grudge will probably disappear after knowing Rian helped them. If Rian could forgive them, perhaps they would also forget about their grudges. Forgive and be forgiven." I said unconsciously.

Adam nodded with a smile. Then he pointed at me and said, "You stole my words. Forgive and be forgiven. That's what I told Rian."

"What!?" I couldn't believe it after realizing it. "Did you use the reverse psychology technique to tell me what you said? You sly man!"

"Why are you upset?" Adam asked with wide eyes.

"Okay, enough! This discussion is futile!" My insistence.

"OK, okay. Don't make me wear my own book." Adam said with both hands raised and a smile on his face.

"I'll forget your insinuations if you ask Rian one of my questions." I said patiently.

Adam's face turned serious. "What question?"

...Travel...

In the afternoon of Al-Alim Mosque, after finishing the prayer, a tyrannical-faced young man who people say looks like a bird's beak was saying goodbye to his friend who is a Mosque Marbot.

"When did you come back here?" Ask The Marbot.

"Not sure how many days there are." Reply to the Youth.

"Oh, yes, Rian. I have something to ask you." Said The Marbot. "It's about your past."

"My past? You mean two wheels, Adam?" Rian asked curiously.

Adam nodded before asking, "When clashing with the White Mafia at their headquarters, you helped your friend who was strangled from behind, right? Who's your friend? Important members in the gang?"

Rian remembered the incident. But there is one thing that is not understood. "Know where? I never told you.."

"You've told me!" Cut Adam fast.

Rian sure as hell has never told Adam. But decided to keep telling because Adam was a good friend who had helped him a lot. "That's our Chairman."

Before leaving Rian turned around the mosque to look for a vague figure commonly seen following Adam. The first time Rian saw the figure in the form of a white shadow when he was gang-raped in his Workshop, the figure came and beat up three people who ganged on him. Since that night, Rian could see the shadow of the figure when he came to the Mosque. Sometimes behind Adam, sometimes sitting in a tree outside the mosque fence. But now he doesn't see it at all.

Rian rode his motorcycle out of the courtyard of the Mosque onto the Highway. Continue to drive far to the West until passing the Bridge that is above the big river that separates with the neighboring city. It was on this huge bridge that Rian saw another white shadow figure, he knew this was different from the one he had been seeing all along. Because of this figure the curves of her body resemble a female. He saw the figure standing on the edge of the bridge, outside the barrier. And Rian watched as this figure slowly pierced through the concrete bridge and disappeared from his sight.

Rian immediately recalled his Grandfather's story. He has met one, now he meets another. The other invisible protector!
