When Love Should Determine
Chapter 42

Iqbal was furious when he heard the mother's complaint about Hamzah's attitude to him. His face was flushed red, his teeth were clenched, his hands tightly clenched. "Where is he now? Let me teach you a lesson so as not to be rude to your parents!" screams blaring.

Larissa could understand her brother's anger. The heart of the child who could see his mother tear. Only one he loves, why don't you find the truth before you get angry. But the incident was just misunderstanding.

Seeing Iqbal's anger, Larissa immediately holds her son and leaves the house to find Hamzah's whereabouts. He must find her before his brother. He didn't want anything worse to happen.

Larissa knows how her sister is. It is hard, it cannot be stopped when it is angry. Hamzah also has a character almost the same as Iqbal. Eleven twelve with him.

The two of them used to attack each other and hurt each other just because of misunderstanding. That's why Larissa rushed to find her husband when she saw Iqbal's anger. She did not want her husband to hurt each other again with her sister. Shame to see people, almost every day always noisier.

The first place Larissa went to was the house of in-laws. She thinks her husband is most likely there. With her next door neighbor, it didn't take long to get there. It just so happened that the neighbor saw the incident.

But when he got there, it turned out that the house was closed. According to her next-door neighbor, she hasn't been home since this afternoon.

Larissa did not give up, she went to Aunt Hamzah's house to ask her husband whereabouts, perhaps she knew.

Arriving in front of Aunt's house, Larissa knocked on the door.

Tok tok tok tok

"Assynnjet!."

"Who?" a voice sounded from inside the house.

"It's Larissa, Bi!."

Kriet.

"Is there anything you're here at this hour?"

"Is Brother Hamzah here, Bi?."

"No! Hamzah's not here. Is there anything you're looking for? where was he not going?" reply Aunty. He chases Larissa with questions that make Larissa even more worried.

"Sir Hamzah didn't say, Bi. That's why I'm looking for him."

"Are there actually? Are you guys fighting?" ask Aunt again. He kisses if something goes wrong when he sees Larissa's expression.

"Me and Hamzah did not quarrel. It's just...." Larissa seemed hesitant to tell me what happened.

"What is it?" Aunty's suspicions grew to see Larissa's doubts.

"Emm...." Larissa hesitated to tell a story.

"Say! if you don't tell me, Auntie won't be able to help" insisted Auntie.

Want to not want to, eventually Larissa also told of the incident earlier. "Actually that was Hamzah's brother....." He told me everything until it ended with Hamzah. She also recounts Iqbal's anger and his intention to make the calculations with her husband.

"That's why I'm looking for Hamzah's brother, Bi. I'm afraid they're fighting again like they used to" Larissa said.

Aunt looks pale hearing Larissa's story. His face implied the same worries as Larissa. "Oh my God, how is this? Where Baskoro and his wife are not home anymore" he said full of anxiety.

"Auntie knows for herself how my sister is. If you are angry, it is hard to stop. No one would dare approach him if that was the case. I can't possibly temper his anger."

"That's why I'm looking for Hamzah's brother. I'm worried that he's okay. Moreover, the nature of Brother Hamzah is also the same as my brother. They must be both unwilling to budge."

Aunt takes a rough breath. He rubbed his face with rage. "Then what if it's like this?". Aunt is getting upset. He was worried about his nephew.

"I'm confused too, Bi. That's why I'm looking for my father. Perhaps if the same Father, Brother Hamzah would obey. But not to mention that the father is not even home" said Larissa. His forehead was wrinkled, his lips he bit himself, his hands trembled to the point of letting out cold sweat. It shows how much she is worried about her husband's safety.

Aunty was pacing in and out of the house again, trying to find someone outside who might be able to be asked for help.

Fatim who was in Larissa's arms was crying. He felt the anxiety felt by his mother.

Larissa unbuttoned her shirt and gave her ASI to Fatim. "Don't cry anymore, son. We pray that your father is okay" he said, rubbing his son's head.

In the midst of his worries, Baskoro arrives with his wife. As if giving a fresh breeze in the middle of a gripping situation.

Bibi and Larissa breathed a sigh of relief at Baskoro's arrival. Quickly Aunt approached him. "Sister Baskoro, quickly find your son. He's in danger!" with the breath hunting.

Baskoro who just finished turning off his becak machine and did not know what happened was confused. He scrunched his forehead a sign of confusion. "Hamzah is in danger? Mean how? what's been going on?."

Bibi also told the chronology of the incident briefly. "Eat him now spit it out looking for your son. I'm afraid he's been whacked by Iqbal. Moreover, I heard he asked his friend for help to find Hamzah."

Aunt's words are true. Just as he was going in and out of the house, there were two people in front of his house who said that Iqbal was looking for help to teach Hamzah a lesson. That's why Auntie's increasingly worried about her nephew's safety.

Hearing Bibi's words, Baskoro's face immediately turned pale. He rubbed his chest to calm himself. "Astaghfiullah! Oh my God, why is this so?."

Baskoro's view turned to Larissa. wanting to ask him something. "Son, where does your husband usually go at this time?."

Larissa tries to remember her husband's habits every day, especially at this hour. "At this hour, it's usually Hamzah's brother to Uwak Shodiq's house, sir!" the answer.

"Then, try to go there. Maybe your husband is there now!."

"Good, Sir!." Larissa immediately got up from her seat and fixed Fatim's sling.

"Your son better be left here, Nduk! Fear later why" said Baskoro stop Larissa.

"Good, sir!" Larissa did not dispute Baskoro's remarks, because she also felt that it was better. He rushed to Uwak Shodiq's house.

Uwak Shodiq is a silat teacher and Hamzah juragan now. In addition he is also still the brother of Bibi from Hamzah, but different mother. He also taught mysticism to Hamzah.

As Larissa was nearing the house of Uwak Shodiq, Larissa saw her husband sitting with Iqbal over the amben with Uwak Shodiq as an intermediary. Their position is near the beach.

Larissa rushed to them. Hamzah looked at him when he learned of his arrival. But it was only for a moment, he refocused on their conversation.

"Just look if you make my mom cry again. I will make the calculations with you" Iqbal said as he got up from his seat.

"Yes, whatever you want!" replied Hamzah cynically, undaunted by the threat of Iqbal.

Iqbal immediately left the place. He passed through Larissa without saying a word. While Hamzah looked at Iqbal's departure with cynical eyes.
