Mysterious Gus
#16. Facts About Zaki
After the sublime, Hutama really tested Farel's memorization. How happy the man was to witness the rote of his son. So did Raima and the others. Unrelenting tears of joy wet their cheeks.
Even Hutama with his sense of happiness, told his confidant, Sega, to hold a massive thanksgiving. How not? The man told Sega to give 77,845 boxes of rice for the Bandung area, 6,236 boxes of rice for the Jakarta area, 605 boxes of rice for the nursing home, and 114 orphanages to get 605 boxes of rice. All for 30 days. In accordance with the Qur'an are 30 juz, 114 suras, 6,236 verses, 77,845 words and 605 pages.
Plus the Thanksgiving at the pesantren later at dinner. So festive, isn't it?
The man who served as Farel's brother was very happy and did not need to think long to donate that much. Happiness and pride can no longer be contained.
On the other hand, after depositing his rote and his family's haru-haru event, Farel chose to stay away from the excitement of the event for later tonight. Now the man is sitting on the edge of his PONPES-made lake.
It's been hours, but the young man hasn't gotten Zaki's self-data. Though his confidant said, in 30 minutes already in his hands.
Not wanting to wait any longer, Farel immediately called Tiam, his confidant.
"Assalamu'alaikum Sir,"
"Wa'alaikumussalam's chat. Where's promise? You said in 30 minutes the man's self-data was with me!" Farel Growling.
"Sorry Mister. I got her data. Only, I dare not give it. Her data could ruin your mood. Sorry if I was sassy,"
Farel grunting. Just remembering Zaki's name, he's already upset. So there's no need to be afraid. Thought Farel.
"What's wrong! Send me the documents now!"
"Good, Sir. Do I need to make a copy and put it on your desk?"
"Just make a copy and save it for you!"
"Good, Master,"
Farel immediately disconnected the unilateral call without saying hello.
Ting
Notification of messages from Tiam. Farel wants to open the pdf of the document.
"Rul?!"
Farel looked over as Adam approached him. The man let out his tired and annoyed breath. Failed to open Zaki's self data pdf.
"Hm?" Farel Sahut.
"From earlier as well. Tuh, told to gather,"
"Ntar is coming,"
"Ck, yes," Adam resentfully left Farel staring back at the phone.
Profile of Zaki Barra
Farel's eyes were round when he saw the name. Farel shook his head in disbelief with a clenched hand.
Name: Zaki Barra
Nickname: Zaki
Age: 18 years old
Year of birth: 19 September ####
Father: Arestu Barra
Mother: Lailas Pangestu Barra
Zaki Barra is the only child of Arestu Barra and Lailas Pangestu Barra, a textile entrepreneur.
Zaki lives with Arestu's younger brother Adji Barra and Asoyya Barra. Both of his parents are in Amsterdam.
Zaki only moved to Jakarta and attended school as a student at PONPES AL-ISTIQOMAH. But moments later, Zaki moves to Equatorial High School.
Zaky------
Farel ended his reading session. For him, it was enough to get there. He feels shaken. Sure oes. He's starting to feel insecure. Moreover, after a dozen years he did not see Adji Barra, the figure of his biological father, and now his biological father reappeared.
Farel, with his own eyes, sees Adji coming with Zaki on school's birthday night. Farel feels threatened by Adji's existence. He does not want his umma back to be treated inhumanely.
Farel was angry. Angry at himself. Angry at Zaki. Farel hated the reality he had. Why did he and Zaki have to be cousins?! Why did Farel have to know this bad fact?! Why must Farel?!
Farel needs an impingement on the reality he receives. Farel again chose to call Tiam.
"T-mister?" Says Niggle nervously. He was sure that his master knew the truth.
"Take my bike to the ponpes!"
"B-well, sir,"
Farel kept a rough cell phone and chose to go to catch up with his family. Trying to look okay.
"Remain you from earlier in the lake, Bang?" Ask Hutama when he saw his son.
"Ngadem," replied Farel and fixated on the figure of the man who had made him threatened and increasingly hated reality. Zaki's. Currently, the man who was actually his cousin status was joining his family.
"Gue denger, lo hafizh, yes, now?! Congratulations from me," said Zaki sok familiar.
"Well?" Farel asked indistinctly while staring at Zaki's bitch.
"Look down dong, bro! I just play here. Uh, I know there's an event. Yes, I sympathize to join," replied Zaki to make Farel grimace.
"Gus, you got people to take your bike?" Tanya Luqman, Hutama's sister-in-law, came.
"Yes" answered Farel and sauntered away. Without asking Farel knew. Surely the bike had arrived so Luqman asked like that.
"Why, boy? From leaving here his face was not very pleasant," asked Dylan.
"Tauk. Habits as well,"
♧♧
"Good day, sir," said Tiam as Farel stood before him.
"Hm. I'll go and you'll have to keep watch here! The man was harassing me and was gathering with my family,"
Farel simply nodded and immediately climbed his mator and drove at an above average speed. It was as if the road before him was his enemy and he had to destroy it. Think of it as his impingement.
♧♧♧
It's dark. It's even very dark. The moon and stars have revealed their existence. But Farel has not yet returned to the pesantren. Make everyone panic. Especially Raima.
"Mas, how's Farel? Ima was afraid of Farel why-why?" Raima panicked.
"Farel will be fine. Mas's orders again help find Farel,"
Of course they all panic. Farel could not be contacted.
"Om, Auntie," call Zaky.
"Yes, Zaki, what's wrong?"
"Actually, there's something I want to say to Om and Auntie,"
"What?"
Zaki pulled out his phone and showed me a photo.
"I'm sorry before. I had a story with my friend who was in Korea about the figure of Gus Farel. I showed you a picture of Gus. My friend once saw Gus Farel with a girl. Does Om and Aunt recognize this girl? I think, even though this photo was taken from behind, it can be seen clearly that it was Gus Farel,"
Raima closed her mouth in disbelief. In the photo they see Farel with a long-haired girl in milk chocolate. Farel embraces the shoulder, the waist of the girl, there is also the girl who hugs the friendly arms of Farel.
"That's who? We never saw that girl. But why is Farel so close? That's a lie, right? There's no way Farel is like that!"
"But Ma, the clothes worn are indeed Farel clothes fitting us to Korea. At that time we had the same misah Farel," explained Yusuf.
Zaki smiled cunningly, "Let's be with me, Farel. You think I'll stay quiet when you deketin Fisha?"
Hutama hardened his jaw an angry sign, "He's my son and I know who he is! My son wouldn't do that" wrath Hutama and call Sega.
"QUICKLY FIND MY SON AND BRING HIM BEFORE ME!" Shouted Hutama at Sega and decided on a call.
Everyone ignored the santri's gaze. Yes, they were currently gathering in the large hall for the thanksgiving event. However, it seems that the show will fail.
♧♧♧
On the other hand, after seeing Zaki's action from afar, Tiam rushed to leave the boarding school to look for Farel with a motorbike that he had asked others to deliver.
He had to find Farel first.
Almost an hour around Bandung, finally Tiam saw the silhouette of Farel who was struggling on the road.
"SIR WATCH OUT!!!" Shouted Tiam as he looked at the truck from the opposite direction.
Free. Farel did not hear it and ended up turning Farel until hit by the sidewalk.
BRAAAK!!
DUMM!!!
The sound made the street atmosphere quiet. The other driver who saw it rushed over to Farel. Same with Tiam and the truck driver.
"Aren't you papa, Deck? Why fight direction? You're a wretch" said the truck driver.
Farel opened his helmet and grimaced in pain as he held his throbbing head in pain.
"Master?! Is mister okay? Where does it hurt? We're going to the hospital now?" Tanya Tiam panicked.
Farel raised his hand of unnecessary omens.
"But Mr. ter-"
"No need, Tiam! Why are you here?"
"In the pesantren there is a commotion, sir. Zaki gave some photos to your Dad. I think your picture in Korea with Miss Karaya,"
Farel clucked in annoyance. The anger got more and more over him.
"Take me back!" Ask Farel and be helped to stand by Tiam.
"You really don't papa, Deck?" Ask the driver again.
"No papa, sir. Sorry to disturb the comfort of your driving," replied Tiam.
"Yes, not papa. I'm sorry too,"
"We go first," Tiam nodded politely and left immediately while addressing Farel.
"My grandfather knows about Zaki's report?" Farel asked as they began to head back down the streets.
"Whose grandfather is Mister?"
"Ck! Grandpa Xander,"
"Tau, Sir. Mr. Xander turned out to be near the pesantren. He told me to find you sooner, too,"
Farel remained silent afterwards. The pain in his head is not exactly trivial. But Farel has to hold him back.
"PHARELS?! WHERE ARE YOU FROM, SON?" Raima shouted hysterically while hugging Farel.
Farel hugged his umma tightly and his eyes closed.
"Oh Allah, how will Umma know all about Farel? How will Abah, O Allah? Umma just found out Farel with Ae Ri was already in an uproar like this," Farel's mind.
"Where are you from, Ral? Abah has told people to look but you don't meet," asked Hutama worried.
"Main" answered Farel briefly.
"Is this really you, Farel?" Abdullah's question showed him a picture of her with a girl, and Farel firmly nodded.
"Who's the girl, son?" Ask Raima.
