Two Traitors
Eps. 59 STATE OF KARLA

Pov Arfan

"Mother will be even more astonished when I tell the woman exactly who."

"Who?" ask mom while she turns her eyes at me.

"The son, Mr. Umar, is one of the employees in the mother's company."

"Tomorrow! continue in what section Who knows if you know?"

"Cleaning service."

"Well! That right? Try Mum phone to the cleaning service board." Said the mother who looked increasingly curious, he took a cellphone on the table. then he pressed one of the numbers to call.

There was the sound of a connected phone, but long wait, the person on the other end did not pick it up. So I switched to the other number, then did the same thing calling the number.

"Well! what's up, ma'am?" ask someone on the other end of the phone.

"Sir Arga, have you gone home yet? I just called, he didn't pick up." Mother asked back.

"Pak Arga is being treated in hospital, because he got violence from one of his works" explained the person who was there.

"Can't you?" ask mom while frowning.

"Custom, mom! the workwoman did not receive a reminder, for making a mistake, so she would beat her supervisor all out." Obviously the person on the other end of the phone was right what Saiful said, they would turn the facts upside down, as if Karl was the one at fault.

"Oh yeah! you know that cleaning service called Karla?" I started asking the core.

"I don't know him very well, Mom! but according to Mr. Arga, the woman who caused his supervisor battered."

"Oh so! yes, you continue your work back.Thank you for the information." said Mom while turning off the phone, then she settled in my direction, as if asking what happened.

"Yes, Mommy! having to help Karla, the person who wants to do immoral acts has turned the reality back, as if the unlucky man4n, who became a victim.when the real incident, Karlalah who became a victim." Obviously with 45 spirit.

"Well if it is like that, then I will think about how best to help Mr. Umar's son. So now what is your plan for the future?" ask mom to start diverting the discussion.

"I will return to the house of Umar, for I have much to learn from them. I wanted to calm my mind first, to reorganize my broken life, so that I would not be sad anymore, I would not cry anymore, because of the traitor woman. Now I have seen a bright light, which shines bright." I'm putting my plan forward.

"So you're gonna leave Mom again?" ask the mother whose eyes are condensing back.

"No! Arfan will not leave mother, Arfan just wants to calm the mind, and if the mother misses Arfan, mother will know where to see Arfan. That too, if you want to help that strange woman. eh! that means Karla." I explained to you that you didn't misunderstand me.

Mother just took a deep breath, then looked at the photo of the late father, who was on the wall of the room. as if back repeating the memories with the man who had accompanied half his life.

"Can you, Mom?" I repeated the question.

"May, which parent will forbid his child, to change for the better" said Mother, with a smile, making my heart feel relieved, because I've got the blessing of someone I respect so much.

Finally we both chat so fluidly, after 6 months we never say hello, even though every time we meet. on the sidelines of the Doctor Chat that I call home, the doctor, came to check the condition of my knee. But after checking there was no significant injury, because it was only hit by a hard object, maybe when I was washed away in the River, my hoe was hit with a stone.

At 17:15, I asked permission to return to Mr. Umar's house, afraid he was looking for my whereabouts.before when leaving for the mother's house, I did not ask permission first. Because Mr. Umar is busy taking care of his son in the hospital.

At first she refused, because she still felt bad about her son. He asked me to stay at his house for a day or two, but I still insisted, for various reasons, Mom finally allowed to return to Mr. Umar's house. with a note I go home must be delivered by Mr. Andi, so that when my mother searches for my whereabouts, she is not difficult to find it.

With a heavy heart, I also agreed to the advice that Mother gave.I returned to the house of Mr. Umar with delivered by Mr. Andi, who I had told you first, because when I had just come, because when I had come, mr. Andi is still looking for my whereabouts who is considered to have run away from home. Not to forget Before going home, mother told Mbok Yem to wrap all the food in his house. As a gift for the family of Pak Umar.

Arriving in front of the alley of Mr. Umar's house, I immediately went down, and told the mother's driver to return to the mother's house.but he refused, he refused, Mr. Andi wanted to know in advance where I live now.I can't do anything either! Mr. Andi will still insist, because he is very loyal to his employer. I finally let Mr. Andi follow me, with a note that made no one suspicious.

Arriving in front of the house made of wood, which most of the walls use plywood. I also stood for a while staring inward, which saw the light of the lights was already on. maybe Mr. Umar has come home from the hospital, because in addition to the lights that have been lit, there is also the sound of small children who are teaching.

I slowly climbed up the knee-high wooden stairs, then stood in the doorway.

"Assynnya!" I said hello to everyone in the room.

"Waalaikumsalam, son of Arfan, please come in." exclaimed Mr. Umar welcome my arrival.

I approached Umar, then kissed the back of his hand.The corner of my eye caught the empty table, which used to be Karla's place to teach children's salary.

"Wait a minute! you teach the kids first."

"Yes, it's okay, sir! Just continue not to be disturbed. I have not yet performed the Magrib prayer. I want to go to the mosque first." I said while putting plastic souvenirs from my mother.

"This what?" ask Mr. Umar.

"The story is long, sir! later I will tell you after you finish teaching njai, let's be free!" I said as I got up, then asked for permission, to perform the magrib prayer in the mosque.

Mr. Umar just nodded, he continued to teach the children to teach. whereas I walked out of his house. After being outside, I noticed the surrounding area, looking for the whereabouts of Mr. Andi. but he did not look at all, maybe he had returned home.I continued to move my legs, to continue my Intention to mushola.

After completing the magrib prayer, I returned to the house of Mr. Umar, but did not go inside. I was silent outside while listening to the children who were learning to teach. It feels very sad, when considering my situation, because it is as old as this age, still can not know the procedure of reading the Quran properly and correctly.

I continued to listen and listen to the children who were learning to teach, until the Adhan isya was reverberating.quickly I also returned to the mosque, because Mr. Umar usually, he said, he will pray after finishing teaching, congregate with all his students. After finishing performing the congregational prayer Isha, Saiful looks approaching, then he invites me to shake hands.

After shaking hands, Saipul invited me to return to Umar's house. Then we sit on the porch of his house.

"Where have you been?" saipul asked in a whisper, Maybe he's afraid to disturb children who are learning to teach."

"Out of the rich man's house?"

"Well?" asked Saiful who was linking brows looking curiously at me.

"Once we are given food, later after Mr. Umar finished teaching naji, we eat together." invite me.

"Other times if you want to go from home, you say goodbye first.Let the cave not worry, thankfully Mr. Umar has come home, so he can tell you where to go."

"Sorry, bro!" the door that felt bad.

"Yes, it's okay! the important thing for the future If you want to go, tell me first, because now you are the responsibility of the cave, because Mr. Umar has entrusted you! Especially if you look at your current condition." PInta Saiful.

"One more time, I'm sorry, bro! Oh yeah, how's Karla doing now?" I began to divert the conversation.

"Alhamdulillah! now his physique has improved, but the cave does not know mentally. because since his return from the hospital, he has never wanted to be invited to speak." replied Saipul who looks his eyes show a stifled anger.

"That's so much mercy, she's!" My ignorant hiss had to say moreover, responding to everything that had happened to that strange woman.

"Yes, indeed! Though he was a very good person, but why are there still bad people bothering him." Typhoon Saiful while exhaling slowly, as if taking off the heavy burden that was befalling him.

"Hopefully! Karla is fine! and can recover quickly, as usual."

"Amen!" said Saiful who accepted my prayer.

Finally we both chat ngalor ngidul, even though we just know each other, but familiarity has been established like people who have known for so long.maybe this is how people who have good nature, but, they will always be friendly to everyone, always helping with a smile and sincerity.

Long chatting, finally Mr. Umar came out accompanied by boisterous children, like children in general. who are always noisy, when they gather with friends his age.they all headed to the mosque, they all went to the mosque, to perform the prayers of Isha congregate, accompanied by laughter.
