RETALIATION (THE Former)
Serious Talk
Shindy shakes.
"You can't drive, but you're driving the red car yourself! Could it be you who hit him at that time? You almost hit me." said Ivan with a sharp look
"No.. For God's sake it's not me." elak Shindy
"Then why did you say you ever hit people? Huh!" shouted Ivan
"Sit down Van. Let me explain everything?" shindy tries to dampen Ivan's emotions
"What are you going to explain? That my mom died because you hit her? That's so!" bent Ivan
"No.. Please listen to me. Be sitting. Let's talk." Shindy said again.
Ivan looked out for a breath. He closed his eyes for a moment.
"I'm sorry. I got carried away by Shin." he said
Ivan sat on Shindy's bed. Face him.
"That day, I saw Rama wash his car. I saw a red liquid flowing down to the ground. I suspect he killed people. Then Rama went into my room. He gave me a packet of rice. He said he had just hit a mother on purpose. He mentioned your mother's name. Ms. Nyoman. I was really surprised. I tried to fight him but.. I'm just a weak pregnant woman." Shindy gave an explanation
"Bu Nyoman told me about your sister Mitha, she said your sister had food poisoning. But somehow I feel sure, your brother was killed by the same person" Shindy said
Ivan fell silent. Just nodding without answering anything.
"Aren't you surprised?" ask Shindy
Ivan shook his head. "I know, Rama was a victim. Someone shot his parents right in front of his eyes. Rama thought I did it, I was there. I also have the same gun. But.. I didn't shoot him."
"So, Rama's parents are dead?" shindy muttered
"You don't know? You're his wife! How do you not know about your husband's family?" asked Ivan astonishment
"I think he lied and hid his parents somewhere. Pity him too. Poor guy." Shindy said
"I was looking for you in an old house, but I didn't find you. Your stuff is still there. But you don't exist." said Ivan
"Rama took me to a new home. House in the middle of the farm. I don't know what the name of the area is. The house is clearly secluded. It has to go through a vast sugarcane field" Shindy said trying to portray.
"Then, who did you hit?" I asked Ivan suddenly
"Rama. I hit him when he stopped me from escaping. But, strangely enough, he was fine. I was locked up for a few days there, to this day I can be free." Shindy explained.
"Let's stay here for a while. You'll be safe with me." Ivan said with a smile
"Thank you Van."
Ivan stepped out. Before closing the door, a question came to his mind.
"Have you eaten?"
"Yet. I bought corn but left it in Rama's car." Shindy said
"Come into the kitchen. I'll make you something." take Ivan.
"I. want to eat cheese." Shindy said suddenly. The strong impulse within him hinted at what he wanted to eat.
"Cool?" Ivan seemed to think for a moment. "You ever eat mac and Chese?"
Shindy nodded happily.
"Wait a minute, let me check the ingredients." Ivan opened the fridge with only fresh vegetables without chicken or cheese.
"Want to eat out?" luscious Ivan with a smile on his lips
"Can."
Ivan took his motorcycle back. Shindy was sitting in the back seat. Unknowingly his hands coiled around hugging Ivan. Ivan just smiled, taking Shindy to a yellow bridge with decorative lights along its mast.
"Have you been here?" ivan asked while parking his bike.
"Yet. It's my first time, I've been abroad more often. I have never been to Bali. I'm honestly amazed." Shindy said
Ivan clasped Shindy's hand, asking her to walk across the long bridge. The ripples of the beach water below seemed to glitter in the moonlight.
"It's romantic" said Shindy looking up at the star-studded sky.
The wind blew his long hair. Shindy's smile looked dazzling under the light rays. Unknowingly Ivan smiled, drifting in his daydream.
"Van, can we go to a place like this more often? I want to erase every sad memory since I married Rama" Shindy said
"certain. I will always be with you." Ivan replied
"I, very hopeful. You can quit your job, Van. The job, it's too risky. You can deal with the police. Also, what would your uncle say if he knew his nephew was a dealer?" Shindy put a wedge in her heart.
"Again. Who else are you going to fight for? Sorry but.. Your whole family is gone. You no longer have a good reason for this, do you? About your revenge on Rama, can you take it another way? L'm.. Don't want you to be Van's killer." Shindy started shedding tears.
"I'm not a dealer. I'm just Shin's driver. Indeed some of the tasks given are too dangerous, but I can't stop now. Although it is not for Rama, I have other reasons." Ivan explained
Shindy looked into Ivan's eyes. The man is honest. His face was straightforward and the statement that was thrown out sounded resolute without a doubt.
"Say, what's your excuse this time?" ask Shindy
Ivan turned to look towards the surging water.
"I have a debt, I just asked for my salary for a year to finance your operation" Ivan said
Shindy's stunned. The man in front of her was someone else, yet her sacrifice exceeded her husband's. Rama hurt her more often, without ever thinking how she felt.
"I'll help you pay off your debt Van. I'll work for you!" shindy
Ivan looked at Shindy in disbelief.
"You're pregnant, just think about your baby. I'll find my own way." said Ivan felt bad
Shindy shakes. Both hands clasped Ivan's fingers.
"Your debt is there for saving me. So, I also have to be responsible for paying it off. After all, imagining you despite that horrible task alone has given me a new spirit!" shindy
Ivan was silent, a strange thought flashed in his brain. Things that have been bothering him for the past few days.
"Shin, I want to ask you a question? Do you, know this?" Ivan showed me a photo on his phone
"Father! He's my papa!" peekik Shindy happy
"How did you get it?" ask Shindy
"No.. I'm just.. Forget." Ivan was going to stop the conversation
"Are you investigating my family Van? You intend to drive me home?" terka Shindy
Ivan fell silent. His mind was screwed, how could he kill Shindy's real father, while Shindy even fought for everything for Ivan.
"I know you're Van's good guy. Thank you, for finding out about me." Shindy said to her own conclusions
"What do you do, if someone kills your family?" I asked Ivan carefully
"Are you going to kill him too?" ask Ivan again
Shindy shook her head.
"It's too easy if the killer dies. He will be free from his guilt, he will be at peace without atoning for what he did" Shindy said
"If someone intentionally injures or even kills my family, then I will make him feel the same pain. To let him know, what it was like to be abandoned by the person he cared about the most. I myself will bring death to that man. Death in a life full of sorrow. I'll give her hell while she's still in the world."
