Chapter 13 Part 3 "Schutzengel"

*Play the song above for the theme of this part.

POV Lodewijk

Two days have passed, after long negotiations, finally Jalan Darah MC agreed to do the dirty work we asked with a high price of course but somehow mevrouw Sofia always had the funds available to pay the amount they requested. I once asked her about how she had that much of money, she said she owned a lot of shares from bona fide companies and had been taught to invest her money early in her life. Well it's natural for someone like her to know about that kind of stuffs but I sometimes worry about her financial situation because, no matter how rich a person is, if that person has to spend large amounts of money continuously, that person will definitely run out of money. Well never mind, I hope that she still has sufficient funds for other purposes.

After negotiations, the neighborhood around her house was often filled with pedestrians passing by. They are actually members of an undercover motorcycle gang who are given the task of scouting the surrounding area in case of any suspicious movements from the special police unit or intelligence unit and because of their presence who are also assigned to watch over me, in the end I was allowed to leave her residence to do my business. .

I drove my car to the nearest barber shop because my hair was too long, I wanted to tidy it up. I actually don't want to cut my hair but the length of my hair is quite annoying.

The car I was driving finally arrived at the barber shop that I often visit, my car was parked parallel, then I got out of my car, locked it and walked towards the entrance, opened the door and saw the figure of an old man shaving the hair of a customer. I sat on the waiting chair, waiting for him to finish shaving the hair of the customer he was shaving.

After he's finished with the previous customer, it's my turn. He put a little towel around my neck then put a hairdresser cape over my body then he asked.

"Just tidied it up, sep (son)?" he asked.

"Muhun, mang (Yes, uncle)." I answered him.

He started shaving my hair until it looked neat and smooth. When he finished, I noticed that my hairstyle now resembled Ludwig's. Seeing my reflection in a mirror that resembled him made me stunned and felt gloomy. I took a deep breath and nodded my head at him, telling him that I was satisfied with his work.

He opened the hairdresser cape from my body, shook it and took off the small towel wrapped around my neck, wiped it around my neck then wiped my face with a face towel that had been washed with warm water.

I stood up after he finished doing it and gave him some money according to the written price. He looked at me for a moment then gave his smile and said.

"Abi kira teh anjeun geus pindah imahna. (I thought you've moved house.)" he said.

"Henteu Mang, masih didieu kok. (No uncle, I'm still here.)" I answered

"Abi jarang nempo kembaran anjeun, dia di mana ayeuna dumukna? (I rarely see your twin, where does he live now?)"

"He's gone Mang (uncle)." he's shocked for a moment then he apologized.

"Hapunten. (Sorry.)"

"Ah, it's okay, he died, with faith, alhamdulillaah." I told him.

"Alhamdulillaah." he said, glad to hear that.

"Yes, Mang, by the way, excuse me and sorry if I'm being rude but I need to go now, I need to finish the case that I'm working on, assalamualaikum." I said to him saying my goodbye.
