ZULFA FORTITUDE
Hasan's Alleged

"Yes I'll be there soon." Hasan hung up the phone with a sad face. Hasan's face was a bit tense, his forehead was wrinkled. He tried to cover it up from Zulfa. It was heartless to deliver the news that had just been received.

"What's up, Mom?" Zulfa was really curious about her husband's attitude. Like he kept something secret from her.  

“Nothing.” Answer as calmly as possible.

“Mas don't hide anything from me. I'm your wife.” 

For a moment Hasan was silent. Don't know what to say. Hasan knows that she's his mother. Must have felt what happened to his son. However he covered.

Heavily, Hasan finally said, "Irwan accident .... " 

Sontak Zulfa was shocked, speechless. She got out of bed, approaching her husband in disbelief.

"What did you really say?"

"Yes." Yeah." He nodded weakly, unable to bear to see the sadness that began to be painted on his wife's face.

"How is he doing?"

"He is God willing to be saved" he answered briefly as he took the clothes he had just hung.

"Where are you going?"

Think of Zulfa really being empty, so as not to understand the habits of her husband, when going out of the house.

"Consider this accident ... Mommy wants to see Irwan? Get ready!"

Zulfa still could not think perfectly, so Hasan had to pat her on the shoulder to resuscitate her.

"Iy ..iya, Mas," he answered nervously.

"We're going to the hospital now. Hopefully it's okay,” Hasan replied as he put his 2 hands over Zulfa's shoulders, looking at Zulfa in shade, so that Zulfa would be calmer.

On the way, the two fell silent, not knowing what to say. Zulfa was swept away in his own mind.  There is nothing about the accident that befell his son. Tension was still visible on his face. He occasionally glanced at Hasan who was driving his car. I want to ask, but not too. Because Hasan doesn't seem to want to be disturbed. He stared straight at the road, his lips muttering softly. I don't know what's on his mind.

There were 3 deaths. It all has to do with Herman. Is he perhaps his past person? I think I need his testimony. 

“Sounds like this is related.” Those words were heard by Zulfa.

“Actually there is what Mas.what is related.”

“ Don't Mother think. This is police business,” Hasan said without looking at it one bit. Back to the quiet atmosphere. Until they get to the hospital.

“Mother, sorry yes ... I didn't go into.”

“No pa-pa. Assalamualaikum,” Zulfa immediately exit once the car door opens with the help of Hasan. He headed for the ER without any concern for Hasan contacting someone.  

“Assalamu’alakum, Herman?”

“Wa alaikum greetings, coincidentally police sir. I was just about to call you. Was that really my son Irwan's accident?” 

“True. But .... Can you help me?”

“What can I help you with?”

“Do you have enemies?” That's Hasan. Directly the question, without any pleasantries at all.

“I don't know.”

“We can meet?” 

“Can, let alone this about Irwan, my son .. but may I meet him.”

"By ... But not now. I have my wife waiting for him.”

They have no relationship anymore. But I don't think I'd be willing to see Zulfa meet Herman right now. They had a close relationship, after all.

Let me be said to be jealous. The important thing is that my family that I just built is not disturbed.

This is what makes Herman angry. How is it possible in times like these, the policeman put jealousy first in him, by not passing his request. Irwan is his son. Herman was really cool to face Hasan this time.

Which parent isn't worried about hearing his son get into an accident. Especially when they met. Spreading some exciting news for himself. You know, Mr. Police ....

But what to say, the decision is in his hands. That's it .. It might be good too.

“In my office only. How?” 

“ Okay. No problem.”

“I wait. Assalamualaikum.”

“Wa aleikum greetings.”

Hasan then went back to the office. Upon arriving, he re-examined the files on the incident to Maria.

Unfortunately, to date, it has not found a bright spot. Because the evidence is not enough, witnesses are also minimal. So it has not been able to draw conclusions about who hit Maria. 

Now Irwan's in an accident. Maybe it was done by the same person. According to the man who helped Irwan, that hit Irwan is a black car. Looks like the same car that hit Maria.

A moment later Herman came in with a very disheveled face. It was as if he wanted to scold the Police Officer who was in front of him. Who else if not Hasan.

Without greetings, without welcome, sat directly in front of Hasan. Staring and waiting, quietly observing and waiting until Hasan realized it himself, if the person he was waiting for was in front of him.

“Aalhamdulillah's. Been a while?”

“Ya,” the answer is short. Not so long ago.

Hasan who realized about Herman's presence with a hint of anger just looked at him with a smile. Why discuss if there is something more important.

“Actually since the death of your Mama Halimah, I've been suspicious. Just dear, why do people who know about the incident do not want to give a description yes ...” Hasan paused for a moment, looking at Herman intently, wanting to see Herman's reaction. Especially this case against his family. Because all this time he seemed calm. Even indifferent. Not want to know the development of the case that befell his family.

Deg ....

Herman was immediately bowed. It recalls the death of Halimah after being persecuted in her home. Then the death of Maria who was hit by an unknown car. Now Irwan ....

Is this related to the person that Irwan told me about after returning home first. Ah, it might be .....

If it is yes ...

“I'm sorry, I'm less sensitive about that. Irwan said that he had met Maria with a man named Bobby. They're planning something that threatens my family.”

“Why didn't you never report.”

“I didn't think there.”

“You know him?”

“It seems I knew him before I married Maria.”

The moment Herman closed his eyes, he was truly sad. Why did he realize this time that he had an enemy. One by one, loved ones died. Astaghfirullah al - adzim .....

Only that word can comfort him.

“I'm sorry.”

“Nothing. What matters now is that I ask you to work together. To have all quickly revealed.” Hasan pondered for a moment . There are other allegations, besides Bobby. It is possible that the one who harmed Irwan, namely Heru. Due to jealous motives because Irwan will marry the woman who will be his wife ....

Don't know ....
