Back From the Beginning

Traffic police who arrested Dul Karim are now in the hospital where his dead partner and an injured building foreman are being treated.

He contacted a good friend who was also a police officer. A cop from the secret division.

"Hello, Anwar! Can be here soon, the police hospital, the autopsy room. Well, I wait," said the policeman seriously.

***

Yuga called Ratih.

"Ratih, it's Yuga" Yuga said as he shunned the crowd and dyed in sweat.

"Yes, what's wrong?" ratih's voice was heard from the end of Yuga's phone.

"mmm... Anu Ratih your husband," Yuga's words stopped, he was confused, with what kind of sentence so that the news he was about to say to Ratih did not make Ratih surprised.

"What's wrong with Bang Dul?"

"Dul Karim was taken by the police." Finally Yuga told him so. Sontak Ratih was startled and asked at length. Yuga is reluctant to talk at length over the phone.

"You calm down, I'll tell you, now I'm there. Don't go anywhere, don't panic."

Lieutenant Anwar has arrived at the police hospital and immediately meets the person who told him to come.

"Good afternoon Mr. Ginanjar, what is it, it seems serious," asked lieutenant Anwar lazy to mince words.

"Here, here's the file, and I see with my own eyes. It's so fast and,"

"And what else, sir?" Lieutenant Anwar seemed impatient to get the full information immediately.

"The blow of his bare hands, able to crush the bones. It was the victim, many credible witnesses, with one blow, the man was slammed far away and his jaw was crushed" said the policeman named Ginanjar with an enthusiastic face. Lieutenant Anwar understood and looked bright. Like finding something rare that is very valuable.

***

Yuga has been with Ratih and he has also told the fateful incident that happened to Dul Karim. Practice a hiccup and Yuga can't do anything about it. He himself still did not believe, it happened so suddenly.

***

In the later office, lieutenant Anwar brought Dul Karim's case files to his superiors with vigor. Until he spoke up straight away.

"Sir, here's the profile, can I start testing the project?" The boss seemed serious about flipping through the file.

"Please, but be careful, this project is top secret. Other than the central security council, you and I, no one knows" the boss pointed with a serious face.

"Ready, carry it out" replied lieutenant Anwar. Though he has told a lot of his colleagues, including major general Ginanjar. He often talked about the secret forces he wanted to form and he led himself. Special forces outside the official forces. This army would later contain people with extraordinary abilities.

Yuga has gone, the rice has tanak and the side dish has been cooked from earlier. But her beloved husband did not come home. Not just for tonight, but for the long nights that soon crumble. Silent. The narrow contract was quiet, even though the neighbors were busy chatting with each other. Train yourself, gulping bitter saliva while stroking her distended stomach.

"Will my first child be born without his father" thought Ratih. From the story he heard from Yuga, it feels magical if Dul Karim is not imprisoned. Her tears came back.

***

Dul Karim curled himself from behind bars. It never crossed his mind that he was going to jail. He even aspired to be a soldier. He likes hero stories even he memorizes good action movies. Therefore, he was serious about studying martial arts in his village. He remembered very well, when his father forbade.

"Then, register Dul to the army academy," Dul denied at that time when his father forbade learning martial arts. Because of his objection, his father was silenced and could no longer forbid him to leave. Dul Karim went to school in a silat on the hillside. Dul Karim is classified as a perceptive child and the most prominent. Even his teacher's favorite. But now? Dul Karim could only sigh in regret. A dirty prison, and a rancid-smelling pillow became the back of his regretful mind.

"Good day, with Ratih's mom?" hendrick. Radih greeted Hendrick with a fearful and suspicious look. Don't let her husband get into debt. Hendrick looked like a ruthless debt collector.

"Yes, myself, Father who?" ask Ratih politely.

"I'm from the social service, we're in charge of ensuring the safety of the workers and their families." Ratih did not understand, Hendrick in the eyes of Ratih more like a debt collector who likes to force than a social service person.

"The case that surrounds your husband is quite heavy and the threat of punishment is heavy. We are sorry," said Hendrick. Practice listening carefully until you forget to tell the Guest to sit down.

"May I sit down?" pinta Hendrick glanced at two empty plastic chairs on the face of the rented house.

"Oh yes, please sit down, I make coffee first well, please," replied Ratih politely.

"Yes, thank you."

Unbeknownst to Hendrick and Ratih, apparently lieutenant Anwar peeked out from the corner of the alley. Lieutenant Anwar wants to see Ratih but is preceded by Hendrick, so he decides to spy with a questionable heart.

"Who is the guest?" muttered lieutenant Anwar. At first he followed Dul Karim to prison. But he was half a day late, Dul Karim was released. He did not know where to find Dul Karim, one option for him was to meet his wife.

Train back to bring a cup of coffee and put it on a plastic table and sit down.

"Your husband is a diligent person and we are responsible for ensuring your well-being. Moreover, said his coworkers, Dul Karim had a wife who was pregnant. This, this money is just for living expenses and childbirth costs," Hendrick said as he reached into his jacket pocket and showed an envelope containing money. Ratih was wide-eyed, the money was a lot for Ratih. The brown envelope was full of money. It looks like tens of millions.

"And one more thing, we are also responsible for the safety of the mother, because there is news that the family of the foreman and the police who died were willing to retaliate and want to kill the mother, he said, they've got a lot of money and they can justify it all the way." Arriving there, Ratih remembers Yuga's story. Her husband killed a policeman and a foreman was seriously injured.

"Is it true, this is the address of a friend's husband's mother in Kalimantan?" hendrick asked while showing a scrap of address to Ratih. Ratih knows that. Indeed, Dul Karim initially went to Kalimantan and told a lot about his best friend was very good. He started to believe in Hendrick.

"We hope you hide there first, in Kalimantan and I myself who was assigned to deliver the mother to that address." Ratih tried to understand, a piece of the address he still holds and now, the envelope of money that he has also held. Train to be embarrassed, he thought this person was a bad person. Ratih felt he had misjudged people from the looks of him alone.

"Now we go" said Hendrick seriously.

"Now too?" ask Ratih reassuringly.

"Well, they hired paid homicide. We could leave tomorrow. But I don't dare to guarantee you, tonight's mother survived" Hendrick scares Ratih and it works.

"Yes, yeah, a minute." Coach just trust Hendrick.

"Please pack, don't strain. As long as I'm around, you're safe" Hendrick said. Train just nodded and asked permission to pack.

Lieutenant Anwar photographed Hendrick and immediately sent him to the information and data center.

Ratih had changed his clothes and carried a large bag.

From the observation of Lieutenant Anwar, Hendrick now carrying Ratih's bag and took Ratih away with a black APV type car. Lieutenant Anwar followed with a red city car.

In the middle of the journey Hendrick called Dul Karim who was in a hotel just to encourage Dul Karim and make Ratih more trust him.

"Dul, it's me, Hendrik. I've been with your wife. We're going to Kalimantan right now" Hendrick said from the phone. Dul Karim is happy not to be a bitch.

"Would you like to talk to him?"

"Sure, sure!" dul Karim replied. Ratih's voice was heard, "Bang, Ratih go first well, take care of yourself well," said Ratih.

"Certainly Ratih, sure, Brother soon followed."

"Yes already, Assalamualaikum,"

Greetings," replied Dul Karim. Ratih's voice exposed the bitterness in Dul Karim's chest.

"Yes, we go first" Hendrick's voice sounded reassuring. The phone connection was also cut off.
