Bound Mumtaz
185. Puzzle Pieces

" So, you are neighbors with Ibn Abdillah, the superior of RaHasiYa!?"

" Well, right, but before she moved."

" What is your relationship with Ibnu?"

" Ready, it's usually like a neighborhood in general."

" You called him like you've known him for a long time, do you know him?"

That second also Berto cursed himself, "- he was a friend of Ibn." Ergi captures caution in Berto's words.

Tok.dok...

" In."

" Anyway, sir. Mr. Andre beat up Mumtaz's prisoner until he was seriously injured." Report the subordinate.

Ergi rubbed his face annoyed." Berto from now on you're in charge of looking after Mumtaz."

" Ready."

" Hold Mr. Andre, along with the detention officers to be questioned in a separate room.

" Ready."

" You guys disperse."

It took only 1 hour after the incident, Andre's violent video on Mumtaz immediately spread, and drew public anger. This adds a series of blacklists of agencies until the capabilities of the agency are questioned.

This led to a sense of growing public mistrust, they demanded Andre be removed from his position, and the immediate completion of corruption cases by 50 polit1s1 who were felt to be running on the spot.

The news of the divorce lawsuit from the wife also graced the story of Andre's misery, plus his s3x video with Devi in many versions.

The love story of his triangle with Devi who incidentally is a former entertainer of Worldly Heaven, following the netizens who urged k4polr1 to immediately complete the sale of m4nusi4 by Aloya that seemed slow until the public suspected there were strong people who influenced the case.

Berto watched it all from the flaming tv." Does Lo have to go all the way just to take down Andre? Berto's tanya is fierce to Mumtaz in the room.

Mumtaz was rushed to the hospital after the guards managed to keep Andre away from the body of Mumtaz who looked helpless 

 Next to Mumtaz's eyes swelled, part of his face and body was bruised." You've read my point, huh!?"

" I don't know what happened that day, but I saw some people coming out of there before the house burned down. Is he one of those few?" Berto now has a serious face.

" *Clue* me, Lo meticulously back Andre lunge in this institution to become w4k4polr1 at a relatively young age for the position."

Berto snorted, "their appointment is undeniably full of politics, if you continue, you will end up dealing with the people in power in this n3geri."

Mumtaz's gaze pondered to the past, "Since I came to my senses from my passing out back then, I've been preparing myself for that day to come." 

" Unbeknownst to them I've moved and been among them." The sound was getting colder, so as to make the body strapping Berto sculpting.

" I'm assigned to watch over Lo, as a neighbor and a person who Lo helps, I can only protect Lo while here, I'm sworn to this country."

" What help do you mean?" Cynical Mumtaz suspected.

Berto chuckled bitterly remembering the past." You think I don't know, if Bonyok Lo is paying for my funeral? While my own bokap doesn't care, he's busy with his new family." Mumtaz grew up in surprise.

Berto drew and breathed heavily, his eyes tight with tears urging out." The pastor told me I was desperate. Can bury mother with worthy and honorable expectations of me, and you do.*Thanks*." he said sincerely.

" Hm." Mumtaz was uncomfortable with this talk, he always disliked the chatter about the past that had anything to do with Ibn.

" In the midst of my fear of living alone in the overseas land, lo, through my neighbors I always ask them to invite me to play. Lo is also always tucking bread and food supplies in my desk drawer.ironya we have never been bersapa in school." his laughter bitter.

Mumtaz silently lowered his head, listening to what he did not know about Ibn's friendly neighbor.

" While your circumstances are no better than mine, but you guys who every date leave rice and other groceries in front of my house, it is followed by other neighbors on me. Until I can still live with good nutrition." Bland chuckles.

Berto turned his face to hold back the pace of tears, he looked back at Mumtaz.

" My question is, why did Lo do that to me?" His voice is hoarse.

Mumtaz returned Berto's gaze with warm friendship." Because only Lo hasn't changed her attitude towards Ibnu since that tragedy."

" Especially after I was busy taking care of Afa and the others, so that I could not always be there for him. If there's no Lo, maybe he's already bvnvh himself. Btw, if Lo meets him, he might forget Lo, he's traumatized until some of his past memories are gone." 

As Mumtaz said that, his clenched hands firmly suppressed his angry emotions.

With a gasp, he did not expect the tragedy to have a major impact on his small-bodied neighbor.

From the outside there were many footsteps that were confirmed towards them, discharging them from past recordings, immediately they neutralized themselves.

Brakhs...

Ibn the first to enter with a pias face, he immediately embraced Mumtaz with a trembling body, behind him the companions, and the father followed him around the bed.

Seeing Mumtaz's face, the temperature of the room was filled with tension from the visitors.

Berto slowly covered the room, but one voice stopped him.

" Who are you?" Tanya Gama was suspicious.

All pairs of eyes looked at him, including Ibnu who had stood still. Ibn stared at the foreign figure in front of him, Ibn staring at Berto with a fidgety gaze, as if he recognized the figure, but did not know when and where.

Riled up by the intense gaze of Ibnu, Berto immediately replied." I'm the one assigned to watch over Mumtaz."

" name?" Daniel took his phone out of his pants pocket.

For some reason Berto felt himself stiffening, Berto's tail glanced at Ibnu.

" Berto Simanjuntak."

Hearing the name, Daniel made a phone call to someone, while Ibn who had previously twisted the memory of his brain to recognize the figure, frowned somehow immediately his chest felt tight and warm.

" Berto..." Unknowingly his mouth said the name, which was heard by Mumtaz who immediately stiffened.

To divert Ibn's mind, Mumtaz reached for his hand, but Ibnu was already dissolved in his memory.

" How long have you been with Mumtaz here?" This time Alfaska asked.

" Eh, uh,. What. means.." confused Berto.

" Hey, *stop it*. He just won me." Mumtaz exclaimed at the others.

" I'm sorry, you can go." Teddy.

" l.iya.mari." Berto was confused as to why he had to be nervous dealing directly with the conglomerates.

Only three steps were taken by his feet, his body was now tense when he heard the words of Ibn who tore his heart.

" a..Berto... my neighbor, Berto Simanjuntak, my friendly batak neighbor?"

Ibnu's body staggered because of a memory he had forgotten, he devoted himself to holding on to the head of the bed?" The question asked in a choked voice invited other attention to him.

They looked alternately between Berto and Ibn with confusion.

Ibn closed both his ears as flashes of memory greeted his memory, a steamy memory of his ridicule.

" *Corrupter.korpetor*..

" *Ibn son of corruptors... Dafi son of corruptor*..." The mockery of many voices was able to drop Ibnu's body in a position of fear curled up at the end attached to the side of the bed.

" No. no. My father is not a corruptor..." Glare pilu.

Mumtaz immediately got out of bed and hugged Ibn tightly.

" No, of course you are not a child of corruptors, he said soothingly while patting Ibnu's back.

Berto stared at Ibnu, wanting to get closer, protecting Ibnu like his past.

" Nu..."

Berto's voice snapped Ibn to reality, his wet eyes staring pleading at Berto.

" Th,...Berto.to.longs.. Mumuy was bleeding." - She softly with both hands open as if her hands were covered in blood.

Berto...Ibn immediately examined the body of Mumtaz wrapped in hospital clothes.

Mumtaz forced to frame Ibnu's face." Shuut .I'm fine. I'm healthy.I'm strong.see .I'm strong." said Mumtaz Parau.

" *Ibn son of corruptor*...."

" *Mr..Ibn corruptor*..."

The taunts came back, making Ibn again cover his ears with thrashing. 

" To, um,....Berto, to.long.they.."yelling Ibn weeping.

No longer could Berto embrace Ibnu, "of course, I help. Who made you cry. Who are you afraid of?"

" They..." Point it at any empty area randomly.

" Shut, I've shaken them, you calm down." His whisper.

" Hiks.hu..hu..hiks...fear..." Ibn cried fondly, before long he fell unconscious in the arms of Berto, his neighbor, the hero.

The room turned silent, their gazes were all fixed on the three young men, they were with their past.

" Mommy, what can you tell me? With Lo's martial arts skills, there's no way you'll get bonyok like this unless you let him." Alfaska asked after Ibn was laid on a gurney.

 Mumtaz straightened his body against them, he exhaled heavily." I'll tell you a story."

After two hours of listening to their emotionally draining story for everyone, right now the look on their faces was quite unsettling.

The voice of the Maghrib Adhan from the Maghrib came from the local mosque.

" We pray first, however we can not ask for Mr. Ergi because I heard him after the conference called pr3s1den." Gama Seru.

Derr ...

" Hello." Bara answered a call from Farhan.

.....

Looking down from Bara's face, they knew something had happened.

" What's up?" Ask Alfaska slowly.

Bara stared fixedly at Alfaska," Jeno had regained consciousness, and ..also papi..." His words were filled with gratitude.

Soon they moved, but their movements stopped when they realized something. They looked at Mumtaz and Ibnu who were still unconscious.

" I'll take care of Inu, you go."

" But Jeno nanyain Lo." Bara Word.

" Say I'm busy, and in good shape. I can't be there right now." Said relaxed.

" Hmm, we're going." Said Daniel.

 As they were in front of the room, Teddy said;" Berto, as an officer, and friend. I ask you to take care of them." Gama Pinta.

" Of course, that's my duty as a police officer "to be diplomatic.

\*\*\*\*

Zahra, wearing a black robe with a gray pasmina, rushed down the stairs with anxious mimicry, a concern engulfing those who saw her.

Hito moved closer to him, "dear, what's up?" 

" Papi and Jeno are sober, I have to go check on him."

Tia and Dista and a few people stood up as well.

" Sister, I'm coming." Tia said.

" We are too." Sherly.

Zahra shakes." You are here first, even though you realize they are not necessarily found.

If we all go and host the mourners who?"

" I'm coming. Ru, so the host, Alfa and the others haven't turned back." Hito said to Heru who sat chatting with the neighbors.

" Where are you going?"

" Hospital, Jeno and Aryan are awake." He answered shortly before entering the car.

" Thank God..." Sahut they simultaneously.

Several cars followed Hito's car to the hospital.

Exactly the sound of Adhan reverberating, in the ICU ward two pairs of eyes woke up from his unconsciousness.

The nurses were immediately busy calling the doctors, Farhan and several expert doctors hurriedly examined the different patients' rooms.

" Hurry, call prof. Zahra." The request was on one nurse.

" Good..."

After checking things out, Farhan looked straight at Aryan." Sir, please follow the direction of my hand. If you understand my words, simply blink your eyes in response."

Aryan blinked his eyes, Farhan pointed his index finger in front of Aryan, slowly he from the left position he shifted to the right position, continuing to do twice.

" Thank God, even so we will take care of you."

Aryan blinked his eyes, there was a drop of tears shed from the end of his eyes.

" Thank you, how's my wife doing?" His whisper, yet still heard by Farhan and the other comrades who were bowing deeply.

As powerful as Farhan displayed a calm face," sir, everything went according to his qodrat. You're safe, we're grateful." Farhan Diplomatic.

In another room, Jeno circulated her gaze in a room that felt unfamiliar to her.

A doctor and his assistant were busy examining him.

Srek...

Zahra entered the room using a complete PPE.

" Sister..." Call Jeno raspy.

" Sister is here." Reply smiling.

" How's doc?" Zahra asked the expert.

" Thankfully everything is stable, just wait for normal Hb-nyq." 

" Thank God." Zahra stared at the monitor.

" Sister, where's Mumuy?" 

Zahra and the doctor were staring at Jeno." You just realized, already asked him. You should be worried about yourself lying in the hospital that makes us worry about you all the time."

" I'm sorry, but I had a dream that felt real to me, that he was in big trouble, that's what woke me up." He looked at it with a glaring look.

" Mumuy is fine, now we focus on your recovery." Please Zahra.

" Yes, what about Rio?"

" I'm sure he's still busy with his random business."

Only a smile can Jeno give in response to Zahra's efforts to comfort her.

Rio, Alfaska and the companions ran to the hospital director's room after getting information from the guard officers about their whereabouts.

Chequek...

Without permission Bara and the others entered the room with worried facial water.

" How?" Ask Alfaska who was sitting next to Zahra.

Farhan explained their situation in detail.

" So we haven't been able to see him?"

" No, we're waiting for the development."

*****

A few days later Ergi and his staff acted quickly, the police issued a report regarding the accident, stating that the accident was carried out by a foreign party, this is reinforced by the perpetrators who are caught who will be carried out further investigations.

While Mumtaz was convincingly not involved in the accident, so the news about Mumtaz as the cause of the death of Madame Sandra is hoax only.

Considering the situation that develops heated up because of the wrath of the community that every day is always treated to the s3x Andre scandal in Worldly Heaven and the pressure from the community, towards the end of working hours, and the, again surprised by the announcement of the deactivation of Andre as an official of the agency directly carried out by k4polr1, Ergi reasoned that this action was taken so that the examination of Andre and his daughter was carried out objectively.

Berto and Mumtaz sat side by side watching the news.

" You've been a great man, Mum." Berto.

" I have to put this in place if my goal is to be achieved." Mumtaz said flatly staring at the figure of Andre on the tv screen that looks sad.

" I and Timothy dream of making this agency a favorite of the people, as they are very fond of the TNI. We are both always jealous of people's love for the TNI, almost every news about the TNI gets a positive response with emot love from them, while about my agency, they are almost always skeptical." His complaint.

Mumtaz patted Berto on the shoulder, Berto turned to him." To,.." spirit." 

Berto snorted to hear the words full of satire, their view is now on Ibnu who is serious with his laptop. Ibnu decided he would stay in the hospital while Mumtaz stayed.

" Nu, why aren't you prisoners?" syndicate Berto.

" Could, I haj4r Lo ya!?" sahut Ibnu with eyes still on his laptop.

Now Ibn turned to face Mumtaz." Muy, did Andre have anything to do with mom and dad?"

Mumtaz returned Ibn's gaze, "Lo don't see him pacing back and forth in Worldly Heaven, I used to say anyone involved in the business, I trashed up" he said convincingly.

" Lo doesn't answer my questions, I'm too familiar with Lo for the club, Lo's answers are almost all double meaning.

He leaned on Mumtaz." If it was just about Afa, Daniel, Tia, and Bara. Lo should have stopped there. Aloya and Rafael have finished, but Lo still continues with the alibi m4nusia trade, especially women, whether I happen to meet their business partner in Europe is Valentino Navarro. son of Alfred Navarro!!

Lo reluctance to include me in this case adds to my suspicions. Fine, I accept Lo reject me, but do not blame me if I work alone.

I will face a mobster without a back!!" ibnu fishing rod.

Mumtaz immediately pulled the collar of Ibnu's leafy green shirt," You peeled all the files, then Lo join us."

" Of course, I assume this is about me, huh. As long as you keep secrets with me, I play by myself." challenge Ibnu.

Mumtaz took off his grip, he pushed Ibnu until his back hit the back of the sofa.

" Don't challenge me, unless Lo wants to see me die in front of Lo. You know that I will always be Lo's shield wherever it is." stressed Mumtaz who quite doubt Ibn's determination.

With a rough close of his laptop, he walked out of the room.

" I'll take care of him." Berto run.

******

Elsewhere, Andre, who was detained, called using the cell phone of the guard he had forcibly borrowed.

" Hello." 

" You. All your information about Mumtaz is a lie, and the video you gave me wasn't the latest, you set me up." His impact on his interlocutor is crossed.

" I'm not lying, but you're not careful yourself. It's the payoff because you're not a dick for this simple job."

" My grandson lost his fingernails, and you failed to make Mumtaz a suspect. From now on you don't call us anymore." Cold talk to the other person.

" Turn off the phone." Pinta Alfred to Mateo who holds the phone.

" Get him out, don't let him open his mouth. A cowardly person seems sure to open his mouth in exchange for his safety."

" Good."

" Get our men out of the hospital before they can talk."

" They have strict guard."

" Destroy those who stand in our way."

Mateo breathed his breath in a huff." Okay, sir."

" When can I get out of here?" Alfred asked in annoyance.

" Mister, you still have to be here until someone is willing to do a skin graft for your body."

" What here no one can do? pay them a high price."

" It's not so master, but RaHasiYa and Zahra's connections that make them reluctant to do so."

Alfred growled, he was so frustrated that he felt he could not control the situation by being trapped in the hospital with his whole body wrapped in a special bandage.

While Andre groaned in annoyance, he felt empowered. He had to do something before things got cloudy.

Without Andre realizing his actions calling the person was bugged by someone.

" My God, should they be this stupid?" Muttered God dismissively, he sent the recording of Andre's phone conversation to Ergi's mobile phone. Calling Rio.

" Bang Rio, open the polr1 server." pinta deity through his earpieces who faithfully plugged in his ears since Eric was caught.

" Is there a word from Alfaska?

" This is to make it easier for them to do a phone investigation earlier."

" okay."

" Then Lo can also spread the still active Devi" Daniel interrupted on another connection.

the connection paused for a moment, "he was the only bridge to connect Andre to the Earthly Paradise." Daniel explained.

" Lo know?" rio asked carefully.

" Huh, Lo underestimates Ibn..."

" Not so, but Mumuy told me to keep Ibnu away from this."

" Can you explain it to me then?" cynical Daniel.

" I'm afraid of the wrong talk, mending asked directly to Yuda, since Yuda was an assistant, they both have talked about this. I'm just taking care of the media." explained Rio.

" Thanks for the info, tomorrow the assistants gather in RaHasiYa." Alfaska closed their parallel conversation.

Rio took off his rough earpieces, staring softly at the ICU door where Jeno was.

Since knowing Jeno had regained consciousness, Rio never left the door of the ICU ward. he sat there waiting despite the reprimand from the hospital, he said, the reprimand stopped since Gama gave the order to let it go.

" Fuck Lo Andre, Lo and friends in crime Lo have to pay for everything. I can't lose my only family." - I thought Ida wiped the tears.

Indeed, at this time the aura of a playboy and his attitude of slenge attached to him did not appear at all from him, left only the look of revenge on his enemy that made his cousin lie there...
