Trapped in Ramadhan
Part 25 - White Yarn

...White Yarn...

17 Ramadan. Nightly.

Inside the ER Room of the Green Gem Clinic, Dr. Iriana and Nurse are still treating the Patients. While Wawan, Dara, Aidah, Iptu Trijaya, and the other Police who I still do not know his name stand waiting. After discussing with his Junior, Iptu Trijaya approached Wawan and the others to dig up information.

"Your friend, what's the wound for?" Iptu Trijaya asked in a whisper.

"I don't know the details either." Wawan admitted in the same slow tone. Then he turned to Aidah who was watching them and said, "So brother said Dwi was robbed, right? Could you please explain to us what happened."

While carrying her sleeping baby, Aidah let out a long sigh before starting to tell a story. This time the more detailed version, not the short version as he told Satpam and other residents while still in the Two Light housing complex. And when he told me about what happened, I could also see his memory. But I'm pretty sure this isn't because I caught it through the manifestation of negative emotions like I normally do. This one is different. It's because of something more positive. Might as well... Because he told me honestly.

Aidah and Dwi had just finished eating meatballs on a round table in the front room which is the main room in the house no.22 when they heard the sound of vehicles stopping in front of the fence. Aida immediately got up and approached the front window, then pulled the curtains to peek out. Two men dressed in black outside the fence.

"Mom Aida! Aida ma'am!" Call one of the two strangers.

"Who is it?" Shouted Aidah from inside the house after tightening the curtains.

"We're Mr Panca's business!" Those who are outside. "We were asked to deliver important items to Ibu Aidah."

It was at this point that I experienced a completely new increase. This time I saw not only the memory pieces, but also the memory pieces inside the other memory pieces. During her stay in the Two Cahaya housing complex, Aidah had twice visited by her husband's man who delivered goods at night. At those two different times, his man-in-law also changed. The marriage situation between Aida and her husband is quite complicated. Not many know that they are married and not many people who know them know that Aidah now lives in the Two Light housing complex. So when someone comes in at night and claims to be her husband's emissary, Aidah will believe without the desire to confirm the truth by contacting her husband first.

"Wait a minute!" Excited Aidah, then he turned to Dwi who had stood up while lifting two bowls of meatballs.

"I put this in the kitchen first." Dwi.

Aidah smiled and nodded due to Dwi's reaction to quickly understanding their situation. After Dwi entered the kitchen, Aidah opened the door and stepped out.

"Where's the stuff?" Tanya Aidah from the inside of the locked 1.5-meter-high fence.

"Ah... Aye!" Said a strong-bodied man who had spoken since. Then he turned to his friend and said, "Get it out!"

The other man is taller than his friend. He unzipped his thick black jacket and took the brown-robed envelope that had been stored in his body and passed it to his friend.

The strapping guy immediately handed the envelope over the top of the fence to Aidah while saying, "Here, Mom!"

"What's it say?" Ask Aidah who is confused because the shipment this time is different from before.

"We don't know either." Say the strapping Si.

Aida also immediately noticed the envelope she was holding. And when the focus of the two men dressed in all black was diverted, Si Jangkung directly pointed at the neck of Aidah with a thin-bladed machete with a handle wrapped around the cloth while smothering his mouth. It was a type of artificial weapon that was usually used for brawls.

"Don't scream if you don't want to die!" Threaten the Jungle with a hoarse voice.

The frightened tongue nodded slowly as a sign of approval.

"Smart child." said Si Jangkung after taking off his provisions.

"Open this!" It was the turn of the Tegap who gave the order while patting the fence.

Still with a sharp weapon blade stuck to his neck, Aidah unlocked the fence with a trembling body. After that Si Tegap directly entered and stepped behind Aidah, followed by Si Jangkung who still held his machete still attached to the neck of Aidah. As Si Jangkung walked, his open jacket twitched and revealed what looked like an extra long pouch on the inside of the jacket that was the size suitable to accommodate the cleaver he was holding. After closing the fence, the two men all black is herding Aidah into the house.

"Your husband is a jerk." Said the Clerk when closing the door of the house.

Aida did not immediately respond, He lurked around the main room and did not find the existence of Dwi. Then he began to dare to talk. "What do you want? Money?"

"Good money too." Sahut Si Tegap who took the phone Dwi left at the table and put it in his pants pocket. "But we're here for revenge."

"But my husband is not here anymore." Said Aidah. "This month he didn't come here." He revealed honestly.

"We know that fool rarely comes to this place." Said Si Jangkung with his hoarse voice. "But we wonder how he feels after knowing what happened to his beautiful wife." Continue while lowering his machete away from the neck of Aidah.

Then the Jungkung approached the frightened Aidah while stroking his face. "Silent.." Hisses. Then he lowered the mask that covered his face until his nose was free and brought his face closer to inhale the scent of the body of Aidah. "Harum too..."

Suddenly from one of the two rooms to their right, Dwi appeared and lunged at Si Jangkung until it fell backwards and the machete fell out of his hand. Dwi who looked very upset immediately punched blindly The Jangkung who was under him. But Si Jangkung's friend did not stay silent, he immediately approached and pulled Dwi with strength from his sturdy body. But Dwi reacted by thrashing like an infidelity person and managed to escape, even further beating Si Tegap who was in the fog trying to hold it. And that's when Si Jangkung took advantage of the situation by grabbing his goal and attacking Dwi from behind. Aida who was looking in horror immediately shouted. And the cry also woke up the baby in the other room who was crying out loud.

The series of events that took place quickly confused the two humans dressed in all black. But Aida did something that was totally unthinkable to me. For the human in his position, he could have panicked to see the injured Dwi and was anxious to hear her baby crying in the middle of the attack inside his own house. But Aidah managed to ignore those two things to do the best thing he had to do; running out of the house and screaming for help. The two black-clothed humans panicked and quickly ran out of the house, ignoring the Aida on the terrace to instantly turn on their bikes and leave.

"Great brother!" Praise Dara after Aidah closes the story. "Other women may panic first and not think to quickly run out of the house."

"That's a smart and bold move." Comments of young police. "If you stay in the house. Maybe they'll attack again until..." He decided not to continue his sentence. But the others clearly understood his point.

And after a really unpleasant awkwardness for a few seconds, Iptu Trijaya began to ask details about the two attackers. "So they claim to be emissaries of your husband?"

"Yes." Yeah." Answer Aida while nodding.

"But they both wear masks and hats, they're also all black." Speak Iptu Trijaya make sure.

"Yes." Yeah." Aidah nodded again.

"Isn't that suspicious enough? Why believe them?"

Aida explained, "S Few people in this town know that I am married to my husband. Fewer people know where I live in Two Light Housing. And my husband's emissary who came to my house, that was twice. Always the night, first the person wears a hat, second wears a mask, the first comes the same the second is different."

"Why does your husband use that kind of protocol? Who is your husband?" Ask Iptu Trijaya to pry important information that also makes me curious.

Aida let out a long sigh before replying, "Panca Hartono."

The expression on Iptu Trijaya's face instantly changed from calm to surprised. "Prince Hartono?"

"That Saint Hartono?" Ask Iptu Trijaya. "What now has a printing business?"

"Yes. That's my husband." Aidah.

Iptu Trijaya fell silent with a facial expression that seemed to state, "Damn!" Well, he doesn't seem to have expected what he just found out about Dwi's case.

"Look..." Iptu Trijaya. "From your story, I can guess your relationship with that kid." He said while pointing to the curtain of Dwi. "And I know quite well what your husband is like. If you want to report this, please... Will be followed up by the police. But it will spread quickly. Even if you don't report it will still be spread..."

"That's all taken care of, sir." Cut Aidah's. "It won't spread as long as we're here, don't spread it."

I was quite confused, then pieces of information crept on me. When helping the delivery of the Satpam Wife at his home, Aidah had a deal with the Security Guard and the Grandmother not to let news of the attack in his house spread. The security guard obviously agreed to it because his career was also at stake. And the Grandma also agreed because she was not the gossip type. Until the Ambulance came to pick up Dwi and Aidah then took them to the Clinic also still at a time when other residents had not returned to the housing complex. So their secret is safe, what residents will know is that ambulances come for the delivery of the Security Guard Wife. And those who are there will make up the reason for the sudden departure of Aidah. Honestly speaking, his intelligence in taking steps that would not harm him, made Aidah a little terrible in my opinion.

Iptu Trijaya was also confused, but then he ignored him and said, "If you really want to report, report. But if I don't want to, I'll investigate the case myself."

"Because of my husband's relationship?" Ask Aidah. "Do you think this might have something to do with his past?"

Iptu Trijaya nodded. "Maybe."

"Good, Sir. I understand." Alawah.

"Then, one more question." Iptu Trijaya. "You can tell me the details of the motor they're on."

The Aida also tells what it knows. Except for the license plate because he didn't ship it. Well, it turns out there's still something she can miss.

"I promise I'll investigate this case." Said Iptu Trijaya, then he asked Aidah to give him the number Panca Hartono can be contacted.

A few seconds later, HT owned by Iptu Trijaya captured a broadcast from one of its members. He rushed out of the ER room when he answered. And I was the one who was curious to follow him until he came out. Its members tell about those who get reports from the public about other brawls on the streets.

"You stay here first!" Iptu orders to his Junior who follows behind him. "Make sure until the people we brought were okay. After that report to me."

"Ready, go!" Said the young policeman.

Iptu Trijaya nodded firmly. But when He was about to walk away, the young policeman held him and asked a question that also intrigued me.

"Who is Panca Hartono?"

Iptu Trijaya did not immediately answer, he asked back. "Have you ever heard of the White Mafia?"

"To my knowledge it's the name of a large group that has ever existed in this city. Reportedly they're quite violent." Said the young policeman.

"You haven't been assigned here yet." Remember Iptu Trijaya. "There are two generations. Both are equally violent. Their business is Drugs, Weapons, to Women! Crime!" His word. "Panca Hartono is a person who had become an important member in the two generations. He always escapes from the police. Now the printing place is its main business. But lately Intel's been investigating the motion again."

The young police body. "That means he's active again?"

"Strong guess... Panca Hartono started running the third generation White Mafia!"
