CURSE Or GRACE
Panji, Gilang and Prasetyo

They had left the prison building to return to the inn. The plan to visit her mother was postponed because Ratna had already contacted Ratih to meet them at the place where they were staying. According to the original plan they will be frank to Ratih and ask Ratih to meet Lily. It is also supported by the doctor Ibram who said an apology from the perpetrator or family will greatly help the healing process of the victim, especially Lily. On the way back their conversation still remained around Panji's parents.

"If there were an Oscar for this case, your father and mother would deserve it."

"My father got two, best actor and director." Nissa chuckled even though her heart still tasted bitter like bile.

"Rubber! Mother played the perfect role. You won't believe it! his empty eyes are real. It was like meeting him not knowing me. Her acting is awesome!" The banner is so fat.

"He gave Mas Panji and Train a clue, making us really look for answers."

Ratna noticed the two brothers who were showing their emotions, whether upset, angry disappointed or even proud of her parents Ratna could not be sure. But one thing is for sure they are both amazing. Ratna could not imagine the difficult life of the two at the beginning when the event just happened. They were sacrificed and made guinea pigs by their parents for a considerable period of time. And even more amazingly they accepted it sincerely without a grudge.

They had already arrived at the inn after having lunch together nearby while waiting for Ratih to come. At exactly two o'clock in the afternoon Ratih and his mother came, they gathered in the girls' room. Panji tells all to Ratih, and the reason his uncle killed his father Ratih. She tells of Lily's condition she saw in the hospital. Ratih immediately fell down, his legs became limp, he cried roaring to call Lily's name.

"Lily.yes Lord..lily...! All this time I didn't know you were suffering because of me! god forgive me, O God! Ratih cried while prostrating then rolled over begging for mercy then sat down again on the floor while pulling his hair. The sound of her roar indeed Lily continued to echo. The women tried to restrain and help calm Ratih. His roar grew louder, his attempt to hurt himself also grew louder. The banner beckoned the women to let Ratih vent her feelings.

Train continued to cry sitting in the corner of the room, her hair was already disheveled as well as her clothes. He no longer cared about his condition before the four pairs of wet eyes staring at him. His eyes were so full of crying. His voice was also getting louder. Finally when Ratih was able to control his emotions he said with a stumbling cry.

"Lily, my friend, we went to school, we just got home from a school farewell party, she drove me home because I was so drunk, I saw my dad at home drunk, I didn't think he was so cruel to rape Lily! I knew it must have happened back then! since then his phone died, and he disappeared. Oh my...Lily .. Lily I'm sorry Lily." Panji approached Ratih and crouched down in front of him.

"You can help her heal, meet Lily, apologize to her on behalf of your father, the doctor said there's a great chance she'll recover if you do." Train continues to cry. Panji rubbed Ratih's hair, then stepped out of the room because he could not bear to watch the entire scene before heading to the parking lot. From the outside still heard the sobs of Ratih. He looked at the room where the women were gathered. Instantly he saw from the rearview motor flash of light behind him, his body reflexed away but the end of the cleaver still managed to grab his back which made blood flow rapidly from his back.

"Campus you Panji!" A familiar voice shouted, Panji fell and saw Gilang ready to hit him again, he reflexively rolled his body towards the row of motorcycles avoiding the slash of Golang. Ratna who came out from hearing the commotion shouted hysterically.

"Retreat Ratna! Returning to Kamarl" Panji ordered Ratna, but Ratna was unable to move. The banner picked up the bamboo baner that stood in its saloon to defend itself. As soon as he saw danger coming to Ratna, Gilang's flock approached Ratna with his machete. Panji chose to save Ratna he managed to poke the stomach of the attacker Ratna with the bamboo tip at the last second the cleaver was ready to slash Ratna's neck, but his defense became open, from the side of the Golang machete again ready to hit . Panji tried to withstand the impact of a machete with a bamboo rod. Golok Gilang hit the bamboo until it broke and made a wide incision in the arm of the banner. The banner again collapsed, Ratna caught it and they fell together.

"Deliver! Stopit! A heavy male voice rang out, Gilang turned his head, but he did not lower his machete. Before Panji fainted he heard two eruptions.

Panji opened his eyelids, he realized he was in the hospital room. He did not wear clothes because it looks like a bandage wrapped around his body. His back was sore, his left hand was bandaged and could not be moved. There was a sound of Ratna's sobbing on his side and Nissa's worried face was drenched by tears. While on his left was a handsome man dressed in police clothes smiling at him.

"Prasetyo?" Panji.

"How are you doing, Panji? Prasetyo greets Panji.

"I'm healthy unless there's a nosy person wrapped around me with this bandage." Panji laughs.

"Bas stupid of you! Of course he's not okay" Ratna sprayed her sister.

"Oh yeah, you're not okay, forgive my stupid words. I mean I'm glad you're human"

"How did you get here?"

"Sir Ratna asked me to come here, I happened to get a holiday, I came here with my instructor. I didn't think there was a dangerous incident, thankfully we were on time."

"Lucky say? Nah! You're late! The banner won't hurt if you're not late!" Ratna cursed with rage, Prasetyo just silently exposed Ratna's curse.

"Can you tell your girlfriend to shut up Panji? He was crying incessantly, very noisy! He keeps blaming me. If he can't keep quiet I'll sack him and send him via travel to Jakarta."

Prasetyo said seriously to Panji, Ratna immediately cursed, Nissa chuckled in her tears.

"Too expensive! You just send it through the vegetable truck that's going to Jakarta!" This time Panji had Ratna pinch on his stomach. The banner screamed in pain. Ratna smiled ignorantly.

"Have you brought Pras's sack?" Prasetyo was heartbroken at Panji's plea.

"I'm grateful to you for curing my wet lung disease back then. If only I hadn't recovered, maybe my fate would have been the same as Gilang's today."

"No need for you to thank me, now that we're in a serial position, you don't owe me any more."

"No! Not yet! It's not me who saved you, I can't hold a gun.I'm still educated, see?" Pras pointed at the mark on his shoulder.

"How is Gilang's condition?" Panji remembered Gilang who had seen collapsed shot.

"You still worry about Gilang attacking you? You are indeed an incredible Panji. I regret ever being your enemy. It's in this hospital. While in treatment, both of his friends were arrested by the police.

" Pennant! Why didn't you tell me to come here? I can send people to take care of you!"

"I don't want to trouble you commander! Besides who knew Gilang would come all the way here?"

"I was wrong! I sent her counsellor message, Ratih, the address we stayed at. It might read it." Ratna lowered her head she deeply regretted her stupidity which made Panji almost lose his life.

"Easy! If it has to happen, it has to happen. Nothing can change destiny. Thank goodness we're all still safe." The right hand of the banner grabbed Ratna's hand. Ratna's face was red.

The romantic scene came to a halt when a woman returned to the room. This time it was Ratih who came in. His face was pale, but he was no longer crying. She had already tidied up her last hair which was very tangled. Nissa gestured for everyone to leave the room giving Ratih a chance. Ratna's facial expression and demeanor showed her objection, but Nissa pulled her hand forcefully. Now in the room there is only Ratih and Panji who try to sit down. Train to walk slowly towards the Panji.

"You have so many reasons to hate me Panji, I can understand that you're doing that."

"No, it's not all your fault, we're all just victims here. How's Gilang's condition?"

"Still critical, the doctor has not been able to confirm his condition."

" Gilang is actually a good boy, you know? he once saved a girl who would have the same fate as Lily, had Gilang existed that night, Lily would have survived." Train flabbergasted, Panji was still judging the good side of someone who was going to kill him. Where does the glory of the heart come from? Then what about her? He looked down, remembered Lily's figure and steadied his heart.

"Panner, regarding your request earlier, I will do it, I will do anything to help Lily's recovery."

"Alhamdulillah, I will coordinate first with the doctor there, we will set the right time."

"Panner, I'm saying thank you you for not hating us, you still think of us as friends."

"No! You're not my friend! You're Brother! I'll always consider you my brother!" Ratih cried, heard Panji's statement.he rushed to embrace Panji, thanked him in his tears.

Just now Ratih came out of his room Ratna immediately rushed in to Panji.

"You almost died because you were protecting me Panji! I don't know how I feel if something happens to you" Ratna sobbed her fingers linked and played with agitation.

"Something's happened, and we're thankful we're still in good health, I'd rather see you from here than see you lying there. About how you feel tell me!" Panji started teasing Ratna.

" No! I'm a girl, I love you, I love you, but I won't reveal my feelings!"

"Well? What was that?"

"It's off the record, unofficial."

"Sy base! Well, Ratna, I've loved you since the first time I met you, I'll love you for the rest of my life, will you be my lover?"

"Of course I want to! Trainy shouted in excitement. He immediately hugged Panji "I thought it was too late, I thought Ratih had already expressed his feelings for you. He tightened his embrace. The pennant screamed in pain. Ratna just loosened her arms, her hands still coiled under the banner.

"Little whiny as you! You didn't yell back at the flower widow's hug." Ratna pouting. Panji laughs.

"You've been spying on us since?"

"I made sure you weren't cheating on me!"

"cheating? Before we get to? How's formula?" Ratna smiled ignorantly, Panji could not stand and pulled Ratna's neck with his right hand and then he kissed her lips, Ratna did not expect to be attacked Panji but he returned Panji's kiss with more affection.

"Sorry this is a hospital! Not hotel!" Nissa had just entered and immediately cursed making them stop her activities, Ratna turned around, her face reddened. His hand still holds the hand of the banner. Nissa approached them.

"You have to pass my fit and propher test before you deserve to be my sister-in-law."

"What test?"

"You have to go home every day, wash, cook and pluck the grass!" Nissa said while glaring fiercely.

"You want to make me a sister-in-law what a maid?" Ratna looked back at Nissa fiercely, her hand pinched Nissa's hand in a fit of anxiety. Nissa screamed in pain. Nissa stroked her sick hand.

"You look at me! His hands should be properly trained, still too aggressive!" He was like a boy complaining to Panji. Ratna and Panji laughed. Ratna immediately hugged Nissa with warmth.
