Kampung Rumah


"Okay, now obviously, what are you guys really doing? Whose house is this? And who's this kid?"


Aya told them with all the questions that came to her mind. He had already prepared his heart for the worst possibility he would hear. Arka who saw Aya seemed to have difficulty regulating her breath after shouting earlier, trying to calm her down by giving her water to drink.


Daffin, who was standing next to Aya, began to sit down and tell her something that made them gather here. He takes Aya to a place they call Rumah Kampung. They did know each other, but only a few days ago they found this place to be used as a headquarters.


Initially Haira asked Daffin for help to help Dipa to free herself from the pursuit of the thugs who tried to make Dipa as a pigeon. They continue to pursue Dipa by threatening to spread rumors that she has become a drug courier at school. It was for this reason that Dipa was beaten by them that night, as she ventured to meet them to negotiate. Fortunately, Daffin and Haira found him at the right time. As Haira and Dipa escape, they find the empty house and hide.


After that day, the four of them always gathered in the house to discuss the problem of Dipa or just meet. They kept this from Aya because they knew she would be very worried. And sure enough, Aya was already very surprised to hear all the Daffin stories. Moreover, this time they brought a girl who had not stopped crying, which Aya did not know who the girl was.


"Wait, Pigeon and Ketapel? Are they the same people we met in the hall yesterday?" ask Aya.


Daffin nodded slowly. Aya rolled her eyes and thought something. Then he started looking at the girl next to Arka who had started to stop crying.


"Lo chased them too?"


Aya looked at the girl with a question mark filled look. The short-haired and glasses girl started wiping her tears and answered Aya's question with a nod of her head.


"They keep chasing me, even when I'm home, they also meet dad. This was all because of Dinda." the girl's voice choked back as her tears came down. While Aya sensed there was something in the girl's answer.


"Dad? Dinda?" Aya asked again to make sure.


"Sir Teguh is my father. Dinda is my half-sister. I was pursued by them to replace the father who worked for them. Dad had a debt to their boss, for the cost of Dinda's school at the time. And when you can't pay anymore, they force you to be their courier. Dad wants to stop, so I'm the one now being chased by them"


The girl who turned out to be the son of Mr. Teguh was back in tears after telling about the problem she was experiencing. Aya who had been thinking earlier, seemed to begin to understand the storyline of all the problems of this Pigeon and Ketapel. He approached Daffin, though somewhat distancing himself and still awkward, he whispered something to him.


Daffin who nodded his head in understanding, finally told Haira to take Mr. Teguh's son named Siska to go home. Together with Dipa who volunteered to accompany Haira, they left Rumah Kampung to Siska's house. Although they do not feel safe, but the only thing they can do right now is go home.


Another case with Aya, Daffin and Arka. They stayed at Rumah Kampung to discuss the problem that Aya whispered to Daffin.


"I was just squirming Mr. Teguh kayak was chatting with someone like that behind the front post of the school. Then, there were some thugs also in front of the gate. Is that them?" He opened up a conversation between them.


"It looks like it is, Ay. But the thing is, stopping them from going after Dipa and Siska is hard. We need a plan" Arka replied.


Daffin just silently listened to Aya and her brother speak.


"Fin, dong by the way. Love the cake solution" Arka rebukes Daffin who is just silent.


"This is me thinking again"


***


Haira drove Siska home. Although Siska initially refused because she was still afraid of being visited by the thugs again, but finally she was willing to go home after being persuaded by Haira.


"Ai, I'm sorry. Because of me you're being so complicated like this"


Dipa felt guilty because at first she was tempted to become a pigeon. The lure of a sizable initial payment was ultimately the reason for Dipa at that time. But he did not expect that when only once he did that and wanted to stop, they did not want to let Dipa go.


Although Haira initially helped Dipa, but it is undeniable that she was a little frustrated and upset by the decision her close friend had taken. He is not rich but never once thought of doing stupid things to make money.


Dipa who saw the irritation in Haira, could only look down and be silent. While Haira was still thinking about Siska's words that were said to her on the way home.


Dinda was the one who first asked me to work. Dinda also introduced me to Benny


Haira was still digesting Siska's words that had not been spoken in front of Aya. Is Dinda the key to everything, piKir Haira.


***


Kampung House that was used as headquarters by the children was actually the old house of Daffin. Before he decided to move in and live with his older brother, Arka, he lived in this house with his deceased grandmother. But Haira and Dipa did not know that the house was Daffin's old house. The two of them only found it by accident and entered through a window that turned out to be unlocked.


Daffin is initially surprised and reluctant when Haira asks him to meet at the house. But Daffin went to see him anyway, because he thought the house would be safe for hiding.


"What's wrong with you, Fin? You all right?" ask Aya who saw Daffin who looked riled up and continued to wipe his sweat.


"It's okay" he answered short.


"If we want to get rid of Dipa, Siska and Mr Teguh from the drug organization, we have to know the reason for their pursuit" Aya said.


"Failure, they won't be wasting their time chasing people for no reason" Arka said.


"But how can we find that reason, we do not know where to start" continued Aya while looking at Daffin, as if asking for support.


"Fin.. you don't have any ideas?" ask Arka.


Daffin, who had only been quiet since the departure of Haira, Dipa and Siska, began to speak up.


"There is.but this is a bit dangerous"


Arka and Aya swipe her chair towards Daffin, trying to listen to what plans Daffin will reveal. And as soon as he finished revealing his plan, Aya and Arka rejected him outright.


"Lu's crazy, Fin!!! Fix you crazy!" arka Exclamation


Aya wants to say that Daffin's plan may be the only way it can be done, but she also worries about the effects of that plan.


"Oh, there's something you don't know yet.."


"..Haira was also one of their victims"


Hearing the thing Daffin had just said, Aya froze. Suddenly his legs go limp. How could his sister be involved in a drug organization. How could? Her thought. And Daffin was forced to tell the secret that he and Haira had been guarding about the kidnapping of Haira.


"Think again, Ay. If there's any other way, say it!!!"
