Bound Mumtaz
226

Alfred tried to move his legs slowly taking small steps step by step. He laughed happily, he felt himself drifting because it was so light.

" Matunda, look. I can move already. Where did you get that drug? I know it's a different drug, my body feels it."

Alfred again sat in his bed after practicing as many as three steps back and forth, he still shakes need to adjust after so many months lying in bed.

Matunda who was still standing in his place just looked at him without any intention of getting close.

" A professor who is doing an experiment. I'm sorry if I was presumptuous, but at that time you were in a critical condition and the doctor who treated you gave up." Matunda walked over to Alfred.

" I forgive you. Give her a gift for healing me." Alfred rested himself again, he felt his heart beat faster just because of some movement.

Matunda helped cover Alfred's body which looked thinner.

" Matunda, how are the higher-ups of RaHasiYa?"

" They're still busy looking for their women."

" I admit their persistence, but it's a pity that they do things in vain. They won't find the little boys, isn't that what they're calling them?" Alfred's breath sounded. Matunda.

" Yes, sir." Matunda returns to his desk, turns on his computer and sends a video of what happened to Alfred to someone who had to find out by email.

The email came in to coincide with Mumtaz who was about to open a report from the Gods regarding the atmosphere of the RaHasiYa building.

Mumtaz noticed Navarro's look as he stepped, his weak footing becoming the focal point of his attention.

Likewise for Zayin who stood behind him while holding Adelia. " Send that video to me." 

Zayin sat on the chair next to Akbar with Adelia eating ice cream.

" Aren't you with them?" Ask Akbar, take over Adelia.

" Sniff."

" What video?" Ask Akbar.

" My men sent a video of Navarro getting out of his bed." Mumtaz gives his phone to Akbar and Alfaska after sending a video to Zayin.

Raut Alfaska expressed extreme concern, he then sent the video to Daniel.

" You guys stay here, I'm the same Ayin should go to Jakarta. Whatever I have to make sure of."

" okay." Sahut Akbar's.

" I'm going with you."

Mumtaz heaved a heavy sigh." I guess, but for now, don't. I want my sister safe, she needs Lo."

" But you need me, or I need Lo. I have to make sure you're okay." Sturdy Alfaska.

" Fa, son Lo needs Lo. Tia's pregnancy is not easy every morning she is nauseous, I don't mind helping her, but I understand very well that she needs Lo's support" said Akbar.

" Dengerin Akbar, and make me calm because I believe someone is protecting him."

At five o'clock in the afternoon Matunda was waiting for Zahira's arrival at cafe'd'lima.

The woman who Zahra made in her stead took care of Navarro as long as he was secured.

His eyes watched Zahira who arrived in a hurry while carrying the *ice box* accompanied by Arka and Samudera.

" Sorry for a long time, there's an impromptu patient." Zahira took a seat in the chair that had been pulled Ocean in front of Matunda. Part of Arka sat beside Matunda.

While the tip of Arka's eyes found an odd movement of two male visitors across the brand within three tables.

" You brought a friend?" Ask Arka while turning on the camera app on her phone, without suspiciously telling them. Matunda.

 " It looks like you're being followed."

The ocean saw the two men from Arka's shipment. 

Zahira's body stiffened, "relaxed, dear. I'm right here." The whisper of the Ocean sitting next to him. Zahira nodded while drinking the matunda mineral water to relieve her nervousness.

Matunda glanced at Arka's cell phone that was directed at him.

" That's Navarro's men from Valentino who come from your neighbor's country."

" Just get rid of it." Ocean Titah.

" And you don't recognize them?" tanya Arka was suspicious.

Matunda shook her head," I knew them through the tattoo on their arm."

Arka magnifies the image of the arm that has a picture of a cobra.

" Just go ahead, here..."

Matunda gave Zahira a memory card that was directly installed on her phone.

" Why are you helping him? It's deviated from our deal." Matunda flat.

" Nobody's off the mark, all according to plan." Zahira replied calmly.

" Hear, miss. We're here to help him not cure him." The Matunda hiss.

" He needs his feet and hands to come to the RaHasiYa building, doesn't he? We'll give it to him."

" Miss, you don't know who he is, he's dangerous. Without legs and arms he's still dangerous, now you give him both. You hurt your sister, Mumtaz."

" Give it to him at the dose, believe me Zahra knows what he's doing." Zahira shoved the medium-sized box at Matunda.

Matunda quietly did not take the ice box, she began to doubt the girl in front of her.

" Look, this drug is a world-class mafia scramble to slowly destroy its opponents without them realizing that there is no significant pain."

" What about the sedative?"

" It is still necessary, keep the love mixed with other liquids."

After all the business is discussed, Samudera immediately takes Zahira to his bulletproof car, while Arka and his men paralyze the two men while riding in the cafe's car park'

Matunda saw and recorded it with her phone all the scenes that took place in that instant in one breath.

" There are always 1diot on this earth." he muttered, he sent it to the mafia chairman.

" **Pull your men, or Dressazaga will hunt you down. Valentino has died**." The message was accompanied by a video of Valentino's account.

\*\*\*\*\*\*

In his room, Zahra exchanged messages with Zahira, making sure Zahira gave Alfred the right motion according to his condition obtained from the Matunda report.

Tok.dok...

" get in." Zahra.

Mumtaz and Zayin entered the room, and Zayin closed the door.

" We're going back to Jakarta tonight."

Mumtaz.

Zahra nodded, she could not say, she was troubled by the anxiety of her sisters.

" Can you promise me you'll be okay?" pinta Zahra with a choked voice.

" We're too stubborn to be easily paralysed" Zayin said.

" Yes, yes, but this is still it..."

" We'll be fine." cut Mumtaz.

" I hold your word." Zahra ran into Mumtaz's arms.

" Do not get hurt, we must always be together" he said.

" Hm." Mumtaz kissed the top of Zahra's head.

They hugged each other wordlessly for themselves.

Zayin stared at the two solemnly staring at the closeness of the two without envy although it was inevitable that loneliness reached him.

At times like this he misses his mother.ever will always stretch his hands to him.

He squealed out of his daydream as he felt Zahra's tight embrace wrapped around his body.

" Don't think of yourself, Brother loves you too much, no less than Mumuy or Tia." - Zahra faltered with tears.

Zayin kept returning the hug very tightly, her tears flowing down her face" I promised to protect Aa with all my soul."

Zahra unraveled her arms, she framed her youngest sister's face." You guys have to be safe, Dedek, and Mumuy are just as valuable to Brother." Zahra said earnestly.

Zayin wiped away Zahra's tears, "Hmm. well. pray for us."

 In Aida's room, at 01:15 in the morning, Zayin was putting his needs and Mumtaz's needs into a backpack.

Tok.dok...

Hito knocks on the open door, and approaches him with a tablet that contains the latest picture of Navarro's condition.

Zayin watched carefully how Alfred looked fitter, he laughed widely and then shouted with excitement because he could stand and walk.

" Matunda reported the current condition to Hira."

Zayin stared with a look asking Hito.

" It was during this time that Ara and Hira were regulating Navarro's treatment." Bright Hito.

" why? I should have made him helpless." Implied a sense of dissatisfaction from Zayin for his brother.

" I don't know, Ara didn't want to explain about it when I asked."

" I copied this video to my phone." Pinta Zayin's.

" Please."

When Zayin walked towards the main door through the living room that turned out Heru was holding Adelia who was again awake.

" Del, why do you always wake up in the middle of the night anyway?" Zayin asked crouched down in front of him while rubbing his head.

" Hiks..huhuhu.hiks...." Instead of answering Adelia was crying.

" Why cry, hmm?"

" Why Aa purgi? Bali is also nyampe." Adelia Whine.

" It has to work."

" But tan balu nyampe."

"  Don't pelgi, pleasee. Adel has a bad feeling. Adel's afraid that Aa's dead.."

" Hushh, Del, watch your words." Tegur Heru's.

" Well Aa congratulations, we'll play again."

" Pleasee. This time it's Aa dengelin Adel." Please Adel with a hoarse voice in Zayin's neck.

" I'm sorry, but Aa has to leave. You take care of the baby grandpa and mommy yeah, be a good kid, okay?"

For a moment Adelia did not reply, only a hiccup was heard.

Zayin forcefully broke his embrace, rubbing Adelia's wet cheek.

" Adel has to be better, the father who has to take care of you, the baby's grandpa's mom."

" Yes, but Aa smooth quick back."

" May, baby." Zayin peeks at Adelia.

" on the terrace, Bayu and William were sitting in a chair waiting for him with Adgar and Akbar.

" What's up?"

Mumtaz shook his head, "nothing urgent is just that..."

" Mumtaz, you don't know exactly what you're doing, but you know you're dealing with a dangerous person" said Haidar.

" You're mamang, allow mamang to be your guardian." Haidar's eyes shone a very plea.

" Mumtaz insyaallah wants to face the person who has been the cause of the grief of Ibn and Gaddafi." I'm Mumtaz.

" Do you really love them?"

For the umpteenth time broken glass pieces hit the television.

" Where did they get Segal's proof of that?" alfred shouted in frustration.

Alfred raged ruffled his entire room, he was in a panic.

" Sir, calm down. You must control your emotions."

" How am I to calm down if they catch me soon." rattled Alfred tried to tear his body bandage.

" Mister, don't take the bandages off, you'll get an infection." Matunda took Alfred's two small hands, stuck them in one hand, while the other covered his nose with a handkerchief drenched in drugs.

Alfred fainted, Matunda pulled back and laid him in bed.

As he was about to get away from the bed, Matunda noticed small red dots around the eyes, which turned out to be blood spots.

Matunda opened Alfred's eyelids, he flinched backwards in surprise.

" Dim, Lo's a medical boy. Can anyone be a zombie just out of anger?" asking the gods is like muttering.

" Ask that later if I've taken a specialist. this is too high for me to think." replied Dimas.

" Surely, I knew that the spots would travel all over the body. The problem was for him, he said, he would not have known the disease had spread because he already did not have the outermost layer of skin on his body.

" Oh my god, I am now grateful for my skin" said Dewa while wiping his arm.

" Hmm, we should be grateful to still have skin, even if it's black."...
