💕 HAPPY READING 💕
It has been 4 hours Zainal and Bagas circled the place that Anisa had told her about. Every corner of the road that has a red light they have checked all, but until 9 pm Zainal and Bagas have not found the whereabouts of Rendra. And in the end they decided to go home and would look for Rendra the next day again.
While crossing the street, Zainal saw a cart of toast traders. Zainal remembered his two children, so he got out of the car and bought toast for his son.
" You want gas?". Tanya Zainal offered Bagas toast.
" No, I'm still full. No one will eat if they buy it for me. Buy it for my two nephews. I'll just wait in the car ." Answer Bagas subtly refused.
Zainal ordered two chocolate jam toast and strawberry jam according to what her children liked. While waiting for his order to be made, Zainal sat in a plastic chair that had been provided by the toast merchant. He heard someone telling him about a beggar who was sick at the moment.
" It is a pity that these 2 days the beggar is sick and no one takes care of him. Only a few people tried to help him. Last afternoon when I wanted to take him to the kitchen he did not want to, and I tried to ask his family he said he had no family anymore. " Say father A.
" So she's living a kara ? It was a pity for his life, where the road was also difficult. " Surprisingly, B.
Zainal was stifled when he heard that the beggar was hard to walk. His mind wandered to Rendra his sister who is currently also thought to be a beggar.
Hearing the two fathers tell a drifter, Zainal approached and asked about the beggar they were talking about. Zainal believes that the beggar is Rendra, his sister who has been missing for two months.
" I'm sorry sir, can I know the beggar you were referring to?". Ask Zainal politely.
" Who is this? What does this have to do with beggars?." Ask Mr. A to Zainal.
" I'm sorry sir, please introduce my name Zainal. I was looking for the whereabouts of my sister who has been missing for 2 months. And he also disappeared while still sitting in a wheelchair or he could not walk without help. Last info anyone saw him at the red light end of the street there." Zainal tried to tell me what happened.
The two fathers nodded their heads in a sign of understanding what Zainal had told them. They were also willing to tell the address of the beggar he had told me about, the problem was his brother Zainal or not important they had told him the address.
" But it looks like the guy isn't in his place. At this time he usually hangs at red lights he deliberately went out these nights. Maybe it's noon and till noon he uses it to rest." Father A told Zainal.
" What is the name of the beggar you mean? My sister's name is Rendra." Zainal asked to be more sure.
" Well, if I don't understand it, we're just here to call him with a limp. It was also because he himself had asked for it. Because he is limping or walking must use a tool. But right now he's using a cane to help him walk not in a wheelchair like I meant." Father A explained again.
Too long waiting in the car, making Bagas finally go down and approach Zainal. It looks like Zainal's order has been completed and is even in Zainal's hands but why Zainal has not yet entered the car.
" Not finished yet, huh, Mommy?." Tanya Bagas approached Zainal.
" It's Gas. Sorry to talk to them again. They were talking about a sick and crippled beggar. Mas's worried it's Rendra, it looks like we have to find him now Gas." Zainal told Bagas.
Bagas also sat down to join Zainal he wanted to hear all the stories of the two fathers more clearly. The two fathers told him about the state of the beggar he was referring to. Bagas and Zainal's hearts were deeply shaken when the father told him of the beggar's apprehensive condition.
" But I don't know if it's your brother or not, but just try and get him hired. At this hour, he usually does not exist. He was begging while collecting used bottles. " Said Mr. B.
Bagas took the phone in his pants pocket and opened the gallery on his phone. He just remembered that he kept a photo of Rendra in his cell phone gallery. Soon Bagas showed the photo to the two fathers in front of him.
" Is this the man, sir?" Ask Bagas while showing a photo of Rendra.
" Haha... Yes, this is really his guy. But this is handsome and very white. Now his skin is dark and thinner with longer hair." Said Mr. A with antusius.
It only took 5 minutes they had found Rendra's contract. They are forced to walk because the car cannot enter, it can only be passed by 1 motor vehicle only.
" She, the contract is empty. Look at the contract is not at all worth living in. So all this time Rendra's been living in this shack." Bagas could not believe what he saw.
" Now we better find Rendra on the street. If you don't see me too, tomorrow we come back here and go straight to this contract. Surely tomorrow when we come here he is still in this house, because the two fathers said that Rendra was out at night and will be in his rented house from morning to evening."Said Zainal immediately invite Bagas to find Rendra on the streets.
" Good mas, now we find Rendra mas on the road who knows who can meet later."Bagas agreed with what Zainal said.
Zainal and Bagas returned down the narrow alley he had passed. Their car was forced to be parked on the side of the road, after arriving at the car, Zainal took turns taking over the wheel. He drove his car slowly while paying attention to the surroundings who knew there was Rendra there.
It has been an hour more Zainal and Bagas circled the streets, but Rendra has not been found. Looks like they decided to go home first and will come again tomorrow and head straight for Rendra's contract.
But suddenly when passing through the red light that looks still crowded motorists. Bagas saw a man holding a large plastic bag standing not far from the red light while using a stick flanked at the base of his arm.
" I see it looks like Rendra. Quickly clap our car Mas ."Excited Bagas enthusiastically while pointing towards the other side of the road.
" Can't Gas, it's in the red light you better get down and try to meet the guy. Who knows, it was Rendra. Looks like it's Rendra, I'll find a way to turn the direction." Zainal quickly shouted.
Without thinking, Bagas got out of the car and immediately ran towards the person he meant as Rendra. How surprised Bagas to see the person currently standing before him turned out to be Rendra. But Rendra was not aware of the existence of Bagas, because he was still focused on facing the cars that were passing in front of him.
" Thank you, thank you "When someone gives you ten thousands.
Bagas heart is increasingly sliced and pityed with the hard life lived by Rendra.
" Mas Rendra." Bagas called Rendra.
Deg
Hantung Rendra seemed to stop beating when he heard someone calling him. Moreover, the voice was very well known Rendra. Rendra immediately looked for the source of the voice and turned his face to the side. Ternyats he did not misunderstand his brother's voice, Bagas was already standing next to him and only about two meters away.
" Bagas " Lirih Rendra very slowly.
Seeing the existence of Bagas who was already nearby made Rendra shocked and shocked, so he dropped the plastic bag that he had been holding. Rendra tries to avoid Bagas. However, the streets are quite crowded and the situation is not possible to walk quickly, so Bagas easily caught Rendra.
" Mas Rendra wait ! don't go !."Excited Bagas while clutching Rendra's arm.
" Remove the Gas. Mas want to go mas do not want to trouble you and Mas Zainal continuously.Please let go and let the mas go." Seru Rendra asked Bagas to release his arm.
" No !! I'll never let go. Now it's better to come with me home because me and Zainal for 2 months looking for your whereabouts. Until we reported to the police but until now there has been no news from the police. During these 2 months we searched for your whereabouts, even Zainal often came home quickly from the office because he was looking for your whereabouts. Even I don't go to college because I'm looking for you ! If you care about us, please listen to our words. Come home with us now. We wait here Mas Zainal is turning his car around. Anyway I don't want to know Rendra's gotta come with us home." Said Bagas was forced to speak firmly so that Rendra could come with him to go home.
Rendra cried deeply, it turns out that during the 2 months of his departure, his brother and sister sought his whereabouts. Even the bagas to leave his lecture. All this time he had been thinking selfishly, if he left surely Zainal and Bagas would be happy. Not feeling burdened, but everything was wrong precisely the disappearance he made Bagas and Zainal hassles looking for him.
" I don't want to bother you guys with gas." Rendra again tried to refuse to go home.
" You think leaving like this doesn't get any more troublesome ? Haha.. !! Don't be selfish, man.!" Snapped Bagas in annoyance.
No longer know how to make Rendra realize his mistake. With him away from home will not solve the problem but will only add to the problem.
The car Zainal was driving was now in front of Rendra and Bagas. Bagas immediately pulled Rendra to enter the car, even though it was still quite crowded at night so that Zainal could not stop his car for too long.
