183 Days of Being a Lover
30. Go Home to Rendi's House

Suddenly Rahma's phone rings. Rendi pulls Rahma's phone out of her pants pocket. Written on Papa's phone screen calling.

“Papa you call.”Rendi gives Rahma's phone to Rahma. Rahma held the phone and watched the phone.

“This is my phone. Why is it in the hands of Mr Rendi?” ask Rahma.

“Long story. Now you answer your Papa's phone. He is very worried about you,” said Rendi.

Rahma answered the phone from her father.

“Assalamualaikum,” says Rahma.

“Waalaikumsalam. Thank you, congratulations.” Mr. Ferdi was relieved to hear Rahma's voice.

“Papa know what happened to Rahma?” ask Rahma

“Of course Papa knows.” Mr. Ferdi told me what happened.

Now Rahma understood why everyone seemed worried when she saw him.

“Papa wants to talk to Rendi,” said Mr. Ferdi.

Rahma gives her phone to Rendi. Rendi takes Rahma's phone from Rahma's hand.

“Assalamualaikum,” says Rendi.

“Waalaikumsalam,” Pak Ferdi replied.

“How can you find Rahma?” ask Mr. Ferdi.

Rendi told Mr. Ferdi everything. Mr. Ferdi sighed heavily after hearing the story that befell Rahma.

“Has the culprit been caught?” ask Mr. Ferdi.

“Numbered, Om. But there are eyewitnesses who know who did it,” replied Rendi.

“May the culprit be caught soon,” said Mr. Ferdi.

“Thank you, you saved my son,” said Mr. Ferdi.

“Sama-sama, Om,” replied Rendi.

“Besok dawn I and my family will go to Bandung,” said Mr. Ferdi.

“Om, can Rahma stay at my house? There is my mama who will take care of Rahma,” asked Rendi.

Mr. Ferdi sighed. “Bby. I leave Rahma to you,” replied Mr. Ferdi. Forced Pak Ferdi to leave Rahma to Rendi because currently there is no immediate family living in Bandung.

“Thank you, Om. Later I send the location of my home if I have reached home,” said Rendi.

“Already night. I want to rest first. Assalamualaikum,” said Mr. Ferdi.

“Waalaikumsalam,” Reply Rendi.

Rendi turned off Rahma's phone and put it in her pants pocket.

“We're home now. You go home to my house. I have asked permission to your papa,” said Rendi.

Rahma nodded her sign in agreement. Rahma tried to wake up from sleep. Claudia's mother helps Rahma wake up from sleep, but Rahma is still sleepy and limp. Rahma leaned on the headboard of the bed. Suddenly someone opened the door. One of the policemen stood in front of the door. Rahma looked at the policeman confusedly. Why are there police in that place? He is not fully aware, however.

“Is the victim awake?” ask the cop.

“Already, Sir. Victims I will take home,” replied Rendi.

“Hem. Tomorrow the victim has to go to the office to be a witness. And bring the results of the visa from the hospital,” said the police.

“Good, Sir,” replied Rendi.

Bobby showed himself at the door. He saw Rahma was conscious and leaning on the headboard of the bed.

“He who told me where you are. There are two unknown men who sold you to Mr. Bobby. Fortunately Mr. Bobby still remembers your face, so he quickly called me,” said Rendi.

“Thank you. Mr. Bobby helped me,” Rahma told Mr. Bobby.

“Hem,” replied Mr. Bobby.

Rendi menolejh to Rahma.

“We're home now. You still dizzy?” ask Rendi.

“Slightly,” replied Rahma.

“\Then I carry it,” said Rendi.

“Ma, please open the car door.” Rendi gave the car keys to Claudia's mother.

“Let me help open the car door,” said Mr. Bobby while extending his hand asking for the key of Rendi's car.

Rendi gave the car keys to Mr. Bobby.

“The car is in front of the villa gate,” said Rendi.

“Iya. I still remember your car.” Mr. Bobby took the car keys out of Rendi's hand and walked out of the villa. Rendi also holds Rahma.

“You are thin but heavy too,” said Rendi when carrying Rahma. Rendi takes Rahma out of the room. Claudia's mother carries Rahma's bag and exits the room. The two policemen followed them.

In front of the villa Mr. Bobby was already standing next to the car. The car engine is on, the door to the right of the back is open. Rendi approached the car. He carefully sat Rahma in the passenger seat.

Claudia's mother was about to get in the car through the left back door. Hurry, Mr. Bobby comes to Claudia's mother and opens the back door for Claudia's mother.

“Thank you,” says Ms. Claudia. Claudia's mother got in the car.

“Sama-sama Mother,” replied Mr. Bobby with a smile.

Seeing Mr. Bobby's smile, Claudia's mother immediately felt amused. Bobby closed the car door. After Rahma sat down Rendi closed the car door. Then he said goodbye to the police and Mr. Bobby.

“Thank you Mr-Bapak. Sorry, I have inconvenienced Mr-Bapak,” said Rendi. Rendi greets the two cops and Bobby.

“Sama-sama, Mr. Rendi,” replied Mr. Bobby.

Rendi got into the car and he ran his car away from the villa. After Rendi's car left, the two policemen said goodbye to Mr. Bobby.

“We excuse me, Sir,” said Police. The two policemen got into the police car and the car left the villa. It's Mr. Bobby himself. He walked towards the villa and locked the villa from the outside. He decided to return home because no one accompanied him in the villa. Mr. Bobby got in the car, then his car drove out of the villa.

Arriving at home, Rendi carries Rahma to the guest room and Rendi lays Rahma on the bed. The joint covers Rahma's body with a blanket.

“Rest! You're safe here. Tomorrow morning we go to the hospital and to the police station to report on the case that happened to you,” said Rendi.

Suddenly the guest room door opened, Claudia's mother came in carrying a tray containing water, glasses and snack jars. He put a tray on the nightstand next to the bed.

“Thank you. I have inconvenienced Mr. Rendi and Auntie,” said Rahma,

Claudia's mother smiled and rubbed Rahma's veil.

“Sama-sama, Rahma,” replied Ms. Claudia.

Then Claudia's mother went to the wardrobe. He took the face from the closet.

“This is. Auntie put it here. So you can easily take it.” Claudia's mother put her face on the bed.

“Iya, Aunt,” replied Rahma.

“Now you are sleeping! So as not to oversleep the morning prayer,” said Claudia's mother.

Claudia and Rendi's mother move out of the room leaving Rahma alone in the guest room. Rahma sighed, if only that time he called Rendi it would not have happened like this.

However, this incident was already a trial that he had to face. What he deserves is that he can still survive and nothing less. He was grateful to be in the neighborhood of good people.
