RETALIATION (THE Former)
Escape To Bali

Shindy woke up with a crumbling body. Still wearing shower pajamas that are not properly closed. The bloody wound that Rama had cut began to leave a trail of blood drying up. Shindy wailing. Looking at her queen's stomach full of pity. "Pity you son. Are you in pain in there too? Hold on, son. We'll fight for our fate together."

Shindy took both her legs off the bed. Pain and bruising appeared on his ankle. Shindy walked to the bathroom. Her husband went nowhere else. Not a husband to Shindy. More like a heartless devil.

Shindy poured warm water from the shower. Slowly wet his proud long hair and shed the bloodstains that were attached to his body. Occasionally grimacing holds the pain because the wound was hit by a splash of water. Shindy was silent long enough to let her whole body get wet. The glass in front of him revealed Shindy's scarred body. Rama's blow before his wedding still leaves a mark on Shindy's face. He has now bandaged her back with a new wound. Shindy stared incensed at her reflection. In the past, she was a spoiled girl filled with affection. Now she is just a woman that her husband does not want.

"wait. I can ask Mama or Andrian for help. They can help me!" shindy

Shindy turned off the shower. And wearing shower pajamas and towels on his head. Shindy came out of the bathroom just as her phone rang. Shindy approached a flat object she had not touched since yesterday. A few missed calls from her mother. Pucuk loved ulam also arrived. It is true if the premonition of a mother to her child is very strong. Shindy called Ms. Wulan's number back.

"Hello Shin? Kok just lifted. Where have you been?." Mrs Wulan's voice was sounding reassuring to Shindy

"Ma, please Shindy. Shindy needs Mama's help." Shindy's words choked up with tears

Simultaneously, Rama entered and stared at him intently. Shindy fixated. The word for help he wanted to say was swallowed just like that.

"Hello Shin's. How are you quiet? Ask for help what?" ma Wulan's voice sounded panicked

Rama approached Shindy. He kept staring at his wife.

"Shindy.. Shindy.. Sniffing Ma again. Shindy wants to eat rendang made by Mama" Shindy told a lie

"Owh is. You make Mama panic Shin. Yes, it will be delivered by Mr. Parmin there." said Mrs Wulan

"Thank you Ma." said Shindy glanced at Rama

Rama snatched Shindy's phone.

"Mother-in-law, your daughter is spoiled. Must always obey what he wants." lied Rama with his agility

Shindy looked in wonder at Rama. How could he say as if nothing had happened and forget about the atrocities he committed last night?

"Mother-in-law. Later let me take rendang for my wife yes. Mr. Parmin must have done a lot of work. It's too bad to come back here."

"Good show Rama." Shindy's lips

Rama turned off his phone. "Aren't you in the show, too? Did you forget that this marriage is part of your code?"

Shindy stared intently at Rama. "I'm not playing Ram! You're the one who intentionally did it so that Mama doesn't know what really happened!"

"Then, what really happened between us Shin? Can you explain?" Rama laughed too.

Shindy fell silent. If he continues this check of coks will have no end.

"Listen to Shindy darling. Be a good wife in my house and do not act to harm yourself. Because I can do anything I want, like this."

Rama raised Shindy's phone high and dropped it violently on the floor.

"Ramaa.." cried Shindy.

His favorite phone was smashed into pieces. Shindy sat on the floor lamenting that her only communication device had been tampered with.

"Obati wound up with this. I bought you breakfast in the kitchen. Eat." said Rama put the small package on the bed

Shindy was still lamenting her phone. Not touched by Rama's treatment. Rama crouched down and stared at Shindy who started crying.

"Don't cry. I'll buy you a new one. But before that, you have to eat. Make sure your body is well nourished so that you are strong, keep the child in your stomach." said Rama recaptured the pieces of Shindy's phone.

"Give me Ram! My SIM card is there." Shindy said trying to get back her phone

Rama took the little thing and broke it in two.

"Rama.." cried Shindy began to get frustrated with her husband's behavior.

Rama approached Shindy. Shindy's walking backwards. Step by step. His body was cornered by the wall behind him. Both of Rama's hands had him covered. Especially now?

"Prepare yourself. Tomorrow we will move to Bali." said Rama

Rama's statement made both of Shindy's eyes perfectly rounded. Bali's? Did he not hear wrong? How could he ask his parents for help if the distance was that far. Moreover, the phone has been crushed. Shindy's body is slumping. His mind was completely confused. It was no longer unthinkable how he could escape the clutches of his crazy husband.

"You, don't go into that locker room again! Or you will be in big trouble." said Rama walking leisurely leaving Shindy

Shindy hugged both knees. Scared, sad, angry. All those feelings are combined in regret. Shindy can only channel it through tears. Maybe that's all he can do for now. At least Rama didn't hurt him physically like yesterday.

"Rama! My most loyal son." said Tommy proudly welcome Rama

"I have a new job for you" Tommy said

"Go to Bali. The market is better than it is in this town." Tommy replied

"How much can you sell there?" ask Tommy

"Prepare 100. I will take him through the deep path." said Rama confidently

Tommy seemed to think. His hand hinted for his personal bodyguard to come forward.

"Prepare a car and two people to escort it to its destination. Also, get that stuff in the warehouse" Tommy said casually

"Go Ram. I'll prepare everything. Make sure no one knows you're gone and leave no trace of it." Tommy said

"I'll do it, sir." Rama also walked backwards

"Do you need anything?" tommy asked, realizing that there was something different about Rama

Rama looked pale with a shivering body. "Give me a bottle, sir. You can cut my pay later."

A smirk appeared on Tommy's lips. Tommy walked towards the big fridge near the lab. He threw a bottle of clear liquid at her. "Go."

"Good Sir. Thank you." Thank you."

...****************...

Shindy who was tired of crying got up from her seat, her legs trembling in the coldness of the floor. Shindy walked out of the room. Intended to fill his stomach that had sounded from earlier. Samar heard the moaning of people in the dressing room. Shindy cancels her intention to eat, Shindy approaches towards the locker room door.

"Ramp.. Rama?" call Shindy

The sound of that groan was no longer heard.

"So weird, did I hear you wrong?" Shindy turned around to go to the kitchen

"Arrrrgh.." but the voice was heard again.

Shindy banged on the locker room door hard. "Your raps are inside?"

"Don't come. Go!" rama shouted from the room

"You're okay, right?" ask Shindy

"Go Shindy!" the voice echoed so loud.

Shindy who heard that, was scared. Run to the kitchen immediately. Shindy took a packet of cold-pressed rice and a bottle of water from the refrigerator. Shindy ate the rice that Rama had prepared no matter what happened to Rama.

"Seeing you eat, makes me hungry!" rama said with a smile on his face.

Shindy looked strangely at her husband. His face looked fresh, with a smile expanding on his lips. Though before today, let alone to smile, just say hello with sweet words never.

"Wouldn't it be rice?" rama asked, putting Shindy's rice in his mouth

Shindy focused on her arm, a black vein appearing with a red lump on top of her elbow.

"This why?" shindy asked touching the lump

"Owh, just a regular bruise. It will also disappear. Spend and pack your things. I'll pack up my stuff too." Rama went into the room

"What happened to you Ram? What are you hiding from me? Does this have anything to do with the bottle and the injection yesterday?" Shindy put the remaining unfinished rice into the trash. In a hurry, he ran towards the changing room. Trying to open it but it's unlocked.

"I have to find something." Shindy murmured

"Searching this?" rama asked, lifting the locker room key he held

Shindy stutters. "E... There are.. My clothes are left inside."

Rama approached him. Facing towards Shindy who was starting to get scared.

"I'm new from the inside and there's not a single strand of your clothes in there. So what are you looking for?" asked Rama staring in full view

"I.. I'm.."

"I warned you never to go back into this room! Did you forget?" rama asked, beginning to show his cruelty

Shindy retreated slowly and ran inside the room.

"Today you're free Shin. But after Bali. I won't let you stay at home with me, or my secret will be exposed." - Rama
