INSECURE, Love of the Past
Dendi Research

POV Ivan's

After I proposed to Maria, the next day her father, mother, and Mela went straight back to Canada. I told Daffa and Aldi that when I proposed to Maria yesterday, they seemed happy when I said that.

Today I invited Daffa and Aldi to meet at my residence. I wanted to ask them to investigate Dendi, because I felt that something was wrong with Dendi. And the thing I was most afraid of was that Maria would get hurt for helping her cousin with Dendi.

"What did you do to Dendi? Do you care about that girl?" Aldi stood beside me with a look of wonder.

"Gue doesn't care about the girl, but I'm afraid Maria has a problem with Dendi. All I think is Maria's safety, because she promised to help the girl take the flash containing their video."

"And I just found out yesterday that it turns out that Dendi's association has been very far. He hangs out with the thugs and it makes me a little worried about Maria. But I also can't forbid Maria not to help the girl." I told Aldi.

I sat on the chair and propped my head down, I ruffled my own hair. I'm stressed how to start investigating? I don't know any details about it. Daffa just looked at me and did not respond to my words, maybe he was thinking.

"Call Sandra to Van. You ask her, usually Dendi hangs out where." Daffa patted me on the shoulder and sat on the side.

"Yes, I have to call Sandra without making her suspicious." I immediately grabbed my phone that was on the table.

I pressed the call button and moments later, Sandra raised my call.

"Hello Van, what's wrong? Tumben called.", asked Sandra.

"Hello San, here I want to ask.. Dendi is home, isn't she? I want to share with him.. Want him to join my company if he graduates." Reply ngasal.

"Ooh.Today he's not home, he usually hangs out at basecamp. If it's at home, I'll call you. Today I'm again off." Answer Sandra.

"Oh yes, but may I ask for the basecamp address?"

"May, the address is at xxx" I wrote the address down on a piece of paper.

"okay San.. Thanks to ya."

I hung up the phone call with him and gave the paper to Aldi and Daffa. They nodded in understanding and already knew where the address was. Without further ado, the three of us went straight to that place.

On the road, I saw Zain being confronted by two big high thugs. He was beaten by both of them, I immediately told Aldi to stop. Daffa and I immediately went down to help Zain.

When Zain was almost stabbed by a knife, I kicked his hand so that the knife crashed somewhere. Daffa fought the other thug who was about to attack Zain.

Aldi helped us against those thugs, two against four and they were both overwhelmed against the four of us, they chose to run away leaving us and something fell out of their jacket pockets.

I saw something fall, and I was surprised to see a picture of a sleeping cousin of Mary wearing nothing.

Gilak!! My holy eyes have been stained by looking at that photo.

Daffa, Aldi and Zain approached me who was crouching to take my eyes off the indecent photo.

"Why Van?" Daffa asked, he took the photo.

"Astagfirulah.." Daffa gasped at the photo in his hand.

Aldi was surprised by the photo, except for Zain. He looked flat and did not express anything.

"It's not nice talking here Van, we're going to my house huh." Take Zain, and I agree.

Zain immediately got into his car and the three of us followed behind.

Arriving at Zain's house, we all headed straight for his room. There he immediately told the real incident why the thug beat him.

Zain Flashback

Today I went to the Dendi basecamp, I was very angry with him. He is my cousin, the son of my mother's brother. Dendi likes Kia, my girlfriend. I didn't accept that, when obviously he already had a girlfriend and I knew he had her pregnant.

When I got to Basecamp, he was hanging out with his thugs. I eavesdropped on their conversation behind the door.

"Den, how's Lo's girlfriend.want Lo continue or love us-we?" Ask one of the goons who I don't know who I just heard his voice.

"Gue will throw out Cantika, he is already MIRA (Owned by Rame-rame).. Take who wants to. Now I'm in love with that sweet girl, Zain's girlfriend. I'll take him from Zain." Dendi's reply made my anger even more uncontrollable.

I broke down the door and I saw they were looking at pictures of Dendi's boyfriend sleeping without wearing anything. I growled at him and I hit Dendi in front of the two thugs. Dendi who did not accept me hit, returned my blow so that we both got into a fight.

The thugs helped the battered Dendi because I hit. I was angry because she didn't appreciate me at all, she wanted to snatch Kia from me and dump her boyfriend. Basic b*jing*n!!

And the situation got worse because I had to fight two thugs whose bodies were bigger than mine, I ran out and ran away but they chased me. On the road, I was successfully stopped by them, until finally you helped me get away from the thugs.

Flashback off

"Thank you guys for helping me out.. Lucky I'm still alive even though my face is already angry gini." Said Zain who was still holding his handsome face was bruised with blood and bruises.

"Gue didn't expect Dendi to be that close. All I know is that Dendi is a very kind and obedient person, now she is very much different. You know Zain, Dendi's girlfriend is Maria's cousin." My speech.

"What's? Cantika's cousin Maria? Loincloth.. Maria must be in danger now that Cantika's story is all about Dendi, and I'm sure Maria will help Cantika." Zain panicked and looked riled up as he said that.

"That's exactly Zain, I really don't want Maria to be involved in Cantika's business but Lu knows for himself if Maria doesn't have the person. She must be helping someone who needs her help let alone this cousin." My heart was pounding, afraid that something bad might happen to my Maria_..

"So now how should we? Continue to investigate or not?" Ask Aldi.

"Next!! Because I don't want anything to happen to Maria." Reply firmly.

"You wanna go check on Dendi? I'm coming!! I also do not want to be trampled on my self-esteem with him, especially I do not want to happen anything to my friends." Zain volunteered to join us.

"OK, for today do not first act because the situation is not possible. We better put together a strategy first so that all does not repeat the events of kayak gini." I said to all of them.

"Yes, I agree. We have to play brains to make Dendi and those thugs. Don't be rash and act silly that will hurt us in the end." Answer Daffa.

And that day we agreed to investigate Dendi at the right time after all the preparations had matured without causing any casualties, because what we face is not just anyone but thugs who are already high level in the group.
