Halal Love of the Senior
The RESTu POV 4

I got a photo of a man claiming to be Adelia's husband from Toni. Apparently the man and Adelia were indeed married. Mr. Lukman would not be able to give thanks and introduce him to the neighbors if only proposed or fiancee like I used to.

Shit man!!! I ruffled my hair rough. My head feels like it's going to explode because of this fact. I tried to calm myself down while making the next plan. Obviously, I'm not just going to let go of that woman of mine.

The next morning, I sent a message to Toni, asking for information on the son of a bitch. I wouldn't call him a husband because I would never be willing to let go of the woman I love so much for someone else. My message was not sent. Is it possible that Toni is sleeping and shutting down her internet data? Yeah maybe so. Maybe last night he was working on a thesis so he's still asleep. Or maybe last night he'd been hanging out with the others until morning.

I decided not to bother, later in the day I will come to him directly. I'm gonna get all the information I need from Toni. Now I'd better relax while talking to my family.

Until noon my message to Toni hasn't been sent. I took the initiative to call him, but the operator's answer I received. What happened to Toni? Why is he so hard to contact? Did something happen to him?

Without a second thought, I took the car keys. I drove the car to Adelia's compound. After arriving, I parked the car on the side of the road near the compound so that no one would see my arrival. I called Toni again, but back to the voice of the operator I heard. I finally decided to go to his house.

I wear a jacket and a hat to cover myself. I walked quickly while looking down while glancing around. I don't want my arrival to be known to Mr. Lukman's family.

Arriving in front of Toni's house, I looked towards Adelia's house. I didn't see any black fortune cars parked there. Maybe Adelia and that son of a bitch weren't there.

I stepped into the courtyard. Toni's door was tightly shut. Is there no one at home? Usually, the door of the house is always open. I knocked on the door once, there was no answer. I knocked again, still no answer. As soon as I knocked the third time, I heard someone walking behind the door.

"Who's out there?" ask Toni, who I memorized her voice.

"It's me, Ton. Restu," I replied.

"What are you doing here?" ask Tony again without opening the door.

"I want to talk to you. Please open the door, Ton."

"There's nothing we need to talk about. Go there! I don't want to see you and talk to you again."

Goddamn it!!! Why is Tony like this? I wanted to break down the door of the house, but my reasoning still goes. I'll try to talk to him well.

"What's wrong with you, Ton? You ask for your fee to go up? We can talk about this all right." I tried to persuade him.

"I don't need your money. You've tricked me."

I flinched at Toni's words. Why would he say that?

"What did I cheat on, Ton?" I frowned at me.

"You've used me. You lied about your breakup with Adelia. Turns out you cheated on her and impregnated another woman."

I'm back stunned. How did he know that? Could it be from Arsenio?

"You can't easily trust the words of others. Who said it to you, Ton?"

"Mas Adi and Arsen. I trust them more than you. I don't want to help you spy on Adelia anymore. I don't want to deal with the police. Don't ever look for me and come back here again. You better go now. Or I'll call people to kick you out."

I heard footsteps coming from behind the door.

"Ton, Toni," called me while patting the door repeatedly.

Toni really doesn't want to hear and see me again. He did not open the door and answered me.

Goddamn it!!! I cursed repeatedly. I left Toni's house full of cockiness. Arriving at the car I beat the steering wheel to vent my frustration.

A few days after Lebaran, a brother who worked at KUA told that Adelia's marriage had not been registered. Ckck, they just married Siri. Too eager to get married or just to keep me away? Obviously I will not give up. My path is still wide to approach Adelia again.

According to the information I got, Adelia's been living with the man since they married Siri. I wonder why Mr. Lukman let them stay together. Why aren't they raided by the people? They are not officially married. For me to marry siri is the same as not married because it is not registered in KUA and does not get a marriage license.

I started contacting Adelia again since I knew her marital status. I re-expressed the sweet words of love and my longing for her. Often I also send photos and videos of our togetherness first. I want him to keep remembering our happy memories.

I said that I would pick her up and marry her officially, not like the son of a bitch who married Siri to her. I also gave a little warning that I would ruin their wedding and reception if he was still desperate to hold an official wedding.

Getting their date and place information for the meeting and reception was very easy for me. Because we are one High School of course we have the same circle of friends. Fellow alumni of one of the leading High Schools in Jogja. I'm sure with certainty, Adelia will invite her High School friends.

One day I got a reply to a message from my lady. I was happy when I heard the notification and saw the pop up message that appeared on my watch screen. Without waiting for long, I opened the message.

'You have disrupted our lives enough. I am happy with my husband. Don't ever call me again. If you still bother me, be prepared the police will pick you up and you will end up in jail.'

I gasped at Adelia's message. What the fuck? Why did Adelia say that? Is that bastard's influence already so great? Why would he have to bring the police all in on this?

No! No! This is not the kind of reply I want. I just sent a message that sooner or later I'll find and pick him up. And I will make it mine forever. I also told you that I wouldn't get rid of that son of a bitch if he came back to me. Getting rid of that guy wasn't difficult for me either.

I took a deep breath to calm myself. Okay, I have to set up a new strategy. I can't be rash anymore to act.

I decided to go home every weekend to London. For two days I visited Adelia's home complex from morning until night. I parked the car in a place that was safe and not so visible. But I have never seen a black— fortuner car that Toni said belonged to the man—parked on the street or in the yard of Mr. Lukman's house.

Has Adelia never visited her parents? Was he too busy with that man to forget his father and mother? Why was he no longer close to his parents? If she was my wife, I would take her to her parents' house every week.

This Sunday afternoon, it looks like the universe is on my side. I saw the latest black fortuner car in the latest series into Pak Lukman's home complex. The car was parked on the side of the road in front of the house. I waited a few hours for the car to get out of there.

I start the car and follow them. I tried to keep my distance from being seen that I was following them. It turns out they didn't go home right away. They stopped by the Mirota Campus. Looks like they're going shopping.

I parked the car south of Mirota Campus. I then circled every floor looking for them. I finally found them on the 2nd floor in the clothes area. I wanted to get close to Adelia, but the man was always by her side, as if he didn't want to get away from the woman.

My heart warmed when I saw Adelia hugging the man while queuing at the cashier. And, shit!!! The man kissed Adelia on the forehead. What the fuck they're indulging in public intimacy. Want to show everyone off?

I can't stand to see their affection. I decided to wait for them downstairs. After they got into the car and drove south, I followed them back. Where else are they going?

I didn't expect them to go to the Shuhada Mosque. I just realized I'm about to enter Magrib's time. Meaning true that Toni said that the man was pious and diligent to the mosque. It seems like that man has changed Adelia. In the past, we rarely even arguably never practiced five prayers during together. Now Adelia has hijab and must have routinely performed her obligatory prayers.

I stopped the car when I saw the black fortuner being parked facing the road. After seeing them out of the car, and getting into the mosque area, I returned to running my car slowly. I drove towards the south which looked deserted. I parked the car there. From that place, I can still see their movements.

I decided to wait for them in the car. It was too noticeable that I went down and observed them in the mosque.

After a while I waited, I saw them walking outside the mosque area. Adelia wrapped her hand on the man's arm. Although not so clear, I could see a happy look on Adelia's face.

My heart was getting heated to see the man open the car door and kiss Adelia on the forehead. Okay, it's time for me to finish that guy off. I started the engine and was ready to execute him.

The man closed the door and walked to the front of the car. Quickly, I drove the car at full speed. Right in front of his car, I hit him so hard that my left rearview mirror came off. From the rear view mirror I could see him fall. I smiled, satisfied with my work.

"Could you dare to take Adelia. Now feel the consequences."
