THE SUCCESSOR.
DRINK

JAKARTA.

4 Days after the death of the Princess.

Hana called the guards who accompanied the Princess to Lampung. He asked when it happened.

Hana silently listened to the words of the guards, especially the guards who tried to chase the truck that had resulted in the car that was riding Princess into the ravine.

" Have you guys come to the truck owner who's blocking your way?" said Hana.

" It's mom..The owner of the truck is indeed his residence in the area" said A bodyguard.

" When you leave, someone follows you?" said Hana.

" There is no ma'am...I always keep an eye on the back, if something is suspicious, then we'll stop it." said B.

" After coming out of the harbor, did the truck follow you?" said Hana.

" There is a mom...We think the truck is like a truck that usually passes, the distance is also quite far, but over time the truck approached because it often overtakes .." said B bodyguard.

" If it's 1 plot, there's no way the truck driver who blocked the road lives there" Hana said in her heart.

Afterwards, Hannah meets Ayu and Diana. Because Hana felt awkward with the stories of the guards.

" Ayu's...Diana.." -..."

" Mom wants her... Just when the Princess went to Lampung, did she have a word?" said Hana.

" There's mom..."

" Before going to Lampung, the brother of the Princess called Bayu before Bayu was declared dead.the brother of the Princess asked permission to Bayu to go to his father's funeral."

" Bayu did not give permission to the Princess.."

" Then 2 weeks ago if it's not wrong, my sister said that we will go to Lampung." said Diana.

" Yes mom..."

" When we were at the Gazebo, my sister told us that another week would go. We can't go with..Because it will go to the printing press to pick up the finished Quran prints to send to Japan" said Ayu.

" Are you guys talking there's a visitor near you?" said Hana.

" There's mom...As usual, the atmosphere of the cafe was very crowded..We sat in the Gazebo." said Diana.

" lady...Did Bayu find it?" said Ayu.

" It's Ayu...But I'm sorry mom.."

" I forgot to keep the gun,"

" When Bayu returned his arms, he knew that she was carrying a gun. So she left mom." said Hana.

" When you meet Bayu, you take off your mother's hijab?" said Diana.

" Mommy has taken off the mother's hijab, but Bayu still does not remember the mother..."

" Mom gave me advice.."

" Don't go anywhere before Bayu comes back here baby.."

" It is likely that they are still around Jakarta." said Hana.

" What if we live in the village aja ma'am." said Diana.

" Wait Bayu come home, baby...Do not go out, let the Cafe in the same care Paijo and others. Except to go to the hospital to check your womb." said Hana.

" Yes ma'am." said Ayu and Diana in unison.

MALAY

Time now.

Suddenly Bayu felt his shoulder touched by the person behind him. Bayu reflex held the hand and slammed it.

Bruuuk....

Everyone looked towards Bayu.

"Eh....!!!?? Bayu was surprised to see the person he just slammed earlier apparently the man he was looking for .

" Sorry Sir...Sorry...."

" I reflexively slammed the father." said Bayu while cupping his palms.

Bayu helped the man stand up. It was indeed unintentional, because Bayu was very vigilant in a foreign place.

" Yes it's okay...I was wrong too" said the man.

" Are you hurt..?" say Bayu.

" No..."

" I'm fine..."

" At any time for an Adzan...I live first.. After that I will see you" said the man.

" Good sir.." said Bayu.

After the prayer.

Bayu sat waiting for the man.

Soon enough, the man in wait finally came, then sat in front of Bayu.

" Assalam mu'alaikum." said the man.

" Yes.." said Bayu.

" Islamic fellows are obliged to answer the salutation.."

" I said Assalam mu'alaikum..You answered Wa'alaikum salam." said the man.

" Wa'alaikum salam.." said Bayu.

" What are you going to say." said the man.

Bayu looked around. There are still a lot of people in the mosque.

" Can we talk 4 points, sir..?" say Bayu.

" Can...Where are we saying?" that guy's.

" In a place where no one else knows what I'm saying." Bayu said.

" After prayers of isya'. I will take you to my home... How's it?" said the man.

" agreed...I called my boss first sir." said Bayu.

" Please.." said the man.

Bayu picked up his phone, then contacted Tang Shin.

Tuout...Tuutts...Tuout...

" Yes Jiang...What was? Are you lost?" the voice of Major General Tang Shin.

" * Ready, I'm not lost sir. "

" * I ask for additional time permission, because I have a need." said Bayu.

" Allowed...If you're rude, call me." Major General Tang Shin's voice.

" * Ready sir...Thank you.."

Bayu disconnected the call.

" I can sir." said Bayu.

" How long have you been in China." said the man.

" Sorry sir..Don't ask about my personal life. Just wait at your father's house." said Bayu.

" Sorry.."

" Hey...4 today, why didn't you come here?" said the man.

" I'm in the competition sir. And I live in a military barracks." Bayu said.

" How did the competition go." said the man.

" Our team won sir.." said Bayu.

" Thank God..Congratulations." said the man.

" Thank you sir..Oh yes, whose father's name." said Bayu.

" Oh yeah...Sorry I forgot to introduce myself.. My name is Ihsan." said the man.

" Ooo..Mr. Ishan..."

" I'm sorry, Mr. Ihsan... When I first came here, did Mr. Ishan know what sound is being played in this mosque." said Bayu.

" That's the voice of the verse - the holy verse of the Qur'an.Surah Ar Rahman." said Mr. Ihsan.

" Ooo...Surah Ar Rahman." said Bayu.

They're speechless.

" The taste - the taste of the sound is very familiar..."

Bayu hit her on the head so she could remember.

Duug.....Duug...

" Turkey...I still don't remember.But.."

" I can follow the rhythm of the reading." Bayu said in his heart.

" Why are you hitting your own head..?" said Mr. Ishan.

" For me to remember sir." said Bayu.

" Oh Allah... Why did you lose this memory of mine... "

" I've asked you, but you still don't give me back memories.What is the way you really want? What....? Apaaaaa. " said Bayu in heart.

Tarhim sounds came from the speakers.

" Mister Ishan." said Bayu.

" Yes.." said Mr. Ihsan.

" May I speak like Ihsan sir in front of Mic..?" say Bayu.

"Voice...? You mean the Adhan is so?" said mr. Ihsan.

" Yes...I want to try it." said Bayu.

" Can.." said Mr. Ihsan.

When entering Isya's prayer, Bayu stood in front of the mic, then menggumandang Adzan first time after he forgot his memory.

Ihsan who heard Bayu's voice looked surprised, because Bayu's voice was very melodious, and long-pitched.

" It looks like he is a young man of the mosque, and forgets his memory" said Mr. Ihsan in his heart.

After the prayer of Isha. Bayu walked with Mr. Ihsan to the house of Mr. Ihsan.

The distance of Mr. Ihsan's house with the mosque is only 50 meters.

A beautiful girl wearing a headscarf sat on the terrace.

The girl looked at her father who was traveling with people she did not know.

" Eh....!!!?? Bayu was surprised to see the woman, because her clothes were the same as the woman in the shadow that appeared on her head.

Bayu stood in front of the girl.

The girl was surprised by the attitude of the foreign youth who was with her father.

Bayu brought his face closer to the girl's face.

The girl turned her face away.

Bayu re-stamped his body.

The girl looked at Bayu's face and stood up.

Bayu hugged the girl.

" dear....You go anywhere." said Bayu while hugging.

" Eh...!!!?? The girl was surprised, and so was Mr. Ihsan.

" Lepasin.." said the girl while struggling.

Bayu let go of his embrace while holding both hands of the girl.

" Why, baby?..Have you also forgotten the same memories as me..?" say Bayu.

" no...I don't forget the memories, and I never met you" the girl said.

Bayu took off the handrails in the girl's hand.

" Aisha... He was the young man you were talking about back then."

Ayesha Apparitions

" Mister Jiang, she is my third daughter." said Ihsan.

" Don't lie." said Bayu still staring at the beautiful girl, and did not hear the words of Mr. Ihsan.

" I'm not lying to you." said Aisha.

" Why are you in my memory..?" say Bayu.

" Where do I know...I met you, just this time .." said Aisyah.

" Mister Jiang..."

Bayu turned to Ihsan sir.

" We just chat inside." said Mr. Ihsan.

" Any ready sir...But is she really your daughter?" say Bayu to convince again.

" That's right, she's my daughter..Let's go in" said Ihsan.

" Yes sir." said Bayu and went into the house.

" Aisha..Make a drink for your guests." said Mr. Ihsan.

" Good dad.." said Aisyah then went inside the house.

" Fuck that young man, the first time he came already close his face to my face, and then hugged me with confidence to meet me.." said Aisyah in his heart.Himself just this time in the arms of another man, and then hugged me with confidence to meet me,besides father.

Bayu sat on the sofa chair with Mr. Ihsan.

" Is it true that Mr. Jiang has met my daughter" said Mr. Ihsan.

" I'm not so sure sir, just the same clothes, but in my memory it is.."

" The woman's face is unclear..Just clothes that I clearly see." said Bayu.

" Ooo...I see.." said Mr. Ihsan.

Shortly after, Aisyah appeared carrying a tray of 2 cups of tea, then placed on the table.

" Aisha...Sit down here first.."

Aisha obeyed her father's words.

" Have you ever met Jiang?" said mr. Ihsan.

" By God, father...I've never met her father" said Aisyah.

" But why are your clothes the same as mine?" say Bayu.

" The clothes are not just one...Many are sold in the Mall.." said Aisyah.

" Yes also seh.." said Bayu while scratching - scratch his head even though it does not itch.

Aisha looked at her father.

" Don't leave yet.."

Aisha stood up and looked towards Bayu.

" Are you sure we never met..?" say Bayu.

" It's very sure." said Aisyah.

Bayu hit his head so that the woman in his shadow appeared.

" He forgot his memory... Please do not go first, who knows his memory appears." said Mr. Ihsan.

Aisha sat down and looked at Bayu's face.

" He forgot his memories, just his behavior was weird.."

" but...If noticed, he is very handsome." said Aisyah in her heart.

Ehemm... Ehemm..

Aisyah was surprised, she was caught by her father looking at Bayu's face, which should not be done by women.

Aisha then lowered her face.

" Dizziness sir." said Bayu.

" Why dizzy?" said mr. Ihsan.

" The father's daughter does not want to admit it." said Bayu.

" What are you saying...?" aisha said as she opened her eyes towards Bayu.

" Why don't you admit it, that we've met." Bayu said.

" Wait a second..."

Pak Ihsan remembered something and then looked towards Aisyah.

" Was there a young man who met you in the Qur'an tilawatil race ?" said mr. Ihsan.

" There's no father...Aisyah has never met this young man." said Aisyah.

" Do you have a boyfriend? And hide that from dad?" said mr. Ihsan.

" By Allah ayaaaah...Aisyah has no boyfriend." said Aisyah.

" What is Tilawatil Qur'an sir?" say Bayu.

" The race to read and memorize the Qur'an." said Mr. Ihsan.

" Ooo....Is the daughter of the father of the Hapal the Qur'an?" say Bayu.

" Of course..He has memorized the Qur'an and was champion 1." said Mr. Ihsan.

" Try reading Ar Rahman...Can it?" say Bayu.

"Of course I can." said Aisyah.

" I want to hear your voice reading Ar Rahman." Bayu said.

Aisha looked at her father.

Mr. Ihsan nodded his head.

Then Aisha uttered the Surah of Ar Rahman.

Bayu silently listened and also remembered it.

Aisyah did not say Surah Ar Rahman until it was finished. Only 20 verses.

" Bismilahirrahman nirrahiim" said Bayu trying to call Surah Ar Rahman.

" A Rahmaaaan...."

Bayu pronounces it using a melodious rhythm

" 'Allamal Qur'an...."

" Kholaqal insaaaaan.."

" 'Allamahul is fine.."

Bayu said the sentence, not feeling he let out tears. Until it does not feel Bayu uttered until the end of Surah Ar Rahman.

Pak Ihsan and Aisyah who were listening to Bayu's voice were shocked. Because the sound of Bayu is very sweet to the heart. They silently listened to Bayu's words. There was no mistake in the reading.

Aisyah brought out her tears. He did not expect that the man in front of him was very good at saying verses from the Qur'an. Even he felt defeated by the young man.

When Bayu read the voice of Ar Rahman, a woman who was none other than the wife of Mr. Ihsan appeared and sat down. He looked towards Bayu saying the verses of the Qur'an with tears.

Bayu wiped his tears when he finished saying the Surah Ar Rahman sentence.

" Your voice is so sweet to Jiang..."

" Are you a driver of the Qur'an?" said mr. Ihsan.

" I don't remember sir...Did I say it wrong?" say Bayu.

" no...Even you say Surah Ar Rahman until it is finished, while my daughter only 20 verses.." said Mr. Ihsan.

" Seriously sir...!!!" said Bayu did not believe.

" For God's sake..What I say is the truth." said Mr. Ihsan.

Bayu fell silent and then looked down.

" Why can I say the Surah Ar Rahman until it is finished, and why I let out tears when I said it" Bayu said in his heart feeling confused with himself.

" Mister Jiang." said Mr. Ihsan.

Bayu raised his head.

" Yes sir..What's up?" say Bayu.

" Did Mr. Jiang ever participate in the race to read the Qur'an..?" said mr. Ihsan.

" I told you, I don't remember anything..."

Bayu looked towards Aisyah.

" Are you my lover..?" say Bayu.

" Whataaa....!!!??? aisyah was surprised.

" I want to take you to China, who knows my memory is back." Bayu said.

" It's so rude of him, to easily say that to me." Aisyah said in her heart.

" Does Mr. Jiang like my daughter ?" said mr. Ihsan.

" yes..Can I take my daughter to China..?" say Bayu.

" I don't want to go to China." said Aisyah.

" Yes already..I stay at your house...Who knows, my memory will return quickly." Bayu said lightly speaking.

The two old men looked at Bayu speaking, then as Aisyah spoke, they looked at Aisyah.

" Where can you stay in my house." said Aisyah.

" Why can't it...?" say Bayu.

" You are not my family" said Aisyah.

" Yes already...We have a family." said Bayu.

" Eh...!!!??? Aisyah surprised.

" How can I make a family with you..?" say Bayu.

" I'm sorry I interrupted...Does Mr. Jiang have a family?" said mr. Ihsan.

" I don't remember sir." said Bayu.

" wuck... Just this time I met a stranger, then asked me to get married, just met this new," Aisyah said in her heart.

" Is he Jiang sir?" his mother Aisyah.

" Yes...He was Jiang whom I was telling you about at the time." said Mr. Ihsan.

Suddenly Bayu's phone rang, then Bayu saw who called. Tang Shin's name appeared.

" Hello.." said Bayu.

"* Are you still a long time Jiang?" the voice of Major General Tang Shin.

" * Ready... Still sir.." said Bayu.

" Take care of yourself, don't do anything in this country." said Major General Tang Shin.

" *Ready sir...I will not be like - kind" said Bayu.

" Good.." said Major General Tang Shin.

The call was interrupted, Bayu pocketed his hape and then looked towards Aisyah then towards Pak Ihsan.

" Dizziness sir." said Bayu.

" Why dizzy?" said mr. Ihsan.

" It's okay - what.."

Bayu looked towards Aisyah.

" You don't want to marry me." said Bayu.

" WHATAAA.....!!!??? " said Aisha loudly surprised.

"Yes married, who knows my memory is back." said Bayu.

" no...I don't want to." said Aisyah.

" Why not...?" say Bayu.

" You're a foreigner, just the first time you saw me hugging me and getting me married.."

" If you meet a woman who dresses the same as me.."

" You must have invited that woman to marry you." said Aisyah.

" Yes also seh...If I meet a woman whose clothes are the same in my memory, definitely ask her to marry me..

" Uh...!!! Wait a minute.."

" If he immediately agreed, what about Xiang..."

" Jancooooook.." said Bayu in his heart.

" but..Why are you in my memory?" say Bayu.

" Where do I know..Your name is strange." said Aisyah.

" At military training, I fell and hit a rock on my head. Then I got some of my memories, that's my name."

" My name is Muhammad Bayu Samudra Han.Call me by Bayu."

" My friends I didn't tell you about my secret..Only you know.." said Bayu.

Then bow his head.

" And then...Why did you tell us?" Aisyah.

" I don't know...I just trust you guys..After all, you are also far from my home."

Bayu spoke while bowing his head.

" I was helped by the man who fished in the river.."

" They took care of me and looked at me as his son..."

" Their house is very simple, only made of woven bamboo, the floor is still ground.."

" The first day I was found and I was mummified.."

" I heard the voice of Adhan, but I did not find the origin of the sound, and then my body moved itself to ablution and prayer.."

" The voice of the Adhan appeared again in the afternoon, late at night, late at night and at dawn.."

" I always do that prostration, but I don't know what it's called?"

" When I didn't do it 1 time, I felt very agitated and dizzy."

" Since then I have always prayed..Even my adoptive parents were also coming - follow me to pray."

" Every morning I help fish in the river.."

" The fish I caught was very large and big, my adoptive father was named Anming, and my mother was named Xoulang..

Bayu recounted until he strayed to a group of students who participated in military exercises until he became a soldier. But Bayu did not tell about Xiang and his eyes.

" That's my story..."

" Thank you for listening to my story." said Bayu.

Bayu raised his head and looked at his watch.

At 11:05

" Are you really immune to poison?" Aisyah.

" If you don't believe me, bring here the poison that's in your house, I'll drink it." Bayu said.

" From the story of Mr. Jiang, the family of Mr. Jiang is in Indonesia." said Mr. Ihsan.

Aisha stood up and walked inside.

" Maybe sir.. But Indonesia is broad." said Bayu.

Aisyah appeared while carrying a bottle of insect venom that is used to spray mosquitoes.

" It's drink." said Aisyah as she put the bottle down.

" Aisha...What are you doing..?" said mr. Ihsan.

Bayu grabbed the bottle, and opened the lid and drank the poison.

Gleck....Gleck... Gleck...Glutton..Gleck...

Those who see Bayu downing poison cannot believe what they see.

Bayu did not exhaust the poison, then put it on the table.

" wuck....He's really honest..I thought he was lying." said Aisyah inwardly.

" Call the ambulance." said Aisyah's mother, worried about a young stranger drinking insect venom.

" No need...I'm fine - what.."

Bayu stood up and approached Aisyah.

" It's your turn now...If what you said earlier is honesty and not a lie that you are not my lover." said Bayu while offering poison left half.

" no...I don't want to die by a crazy foreigner." said Aisyah.

" That means you're a lying girl." Bayu said.

" I am not a lying girl like you accuse me of." said Aisyah did not accept Bayu.

" Drink.." said Bayu.

" good...I will drink it." said Aisyah then took the bottle from Bayu's hand.

Aisyah opened her mouth while tilting the poison bottle.
