RETALIATION (THE Former)
Missing Someone

Shindy ended her tiring day, walking alone while carrying some slightly charred cookies at the bottom. It's a pity if the cake as delicious as that should be thrown away. Shindy passed through a small alleyway lit by the lights of the residents' homes.

"Just got home, Gek?" sapa Bu Ajeng who was sifting through the flowers in a large tray

"Yes mom. Just got home from work." said Shindy let go of her flatshoes

"Groot Break. Don't be tired, you're pregnant again." said Bu Ajeng advised.

"Yes nih Bu, not used to it yet, so sore feet." Shindy kneaded her calf slowly.

"Your feet are all swollen Gek, never given massage oil?" ask Bu Ajeng

"No, ma'am, just massaged slowly. I'm nauseous when I smell that pungent oil." said Shindy with a frown dislike sign

"Yes already, use a rather high pillow, Gek. If you need to give bolsters so that the blood circulation is smooth." said Bu Ajeng advised

Shindy smiled, for a moment she felt homesick with the figure of Bu Wulan who used to be always warm and pay attention to Shindy. Shindy's tears didn't fall.

"Well, how about Gek?" tanya Bu Ajeng stopped his activities

"The same with my mom. She is also kind as a mother, she loves Shindy" Shindy rubbed back her tears

"Where is your mom? Why not just go to her house?" advice from Bu Ajeng

If only Shindy's life was that simple. Maybe she'll run away from this island and whine for attention for her pregnancy to the mother. Shindy responded to Bu Ajeng's sentence with a smile.

"Later, after my son was born. I'm going home to my parents' house." Shindy explained

"It's good that way. Pregnant women should not travel long. Pity the baby." said Bu Ajeng justifying Shindy's words

"Yes ma'am, I went in first." Shindy also brought her flatshoes into the room.

While at Rama's residence, a man with almost dry burns appears awake in the room that Shindy once occupied. The man was leaning against a large pillow on his back. He looked bored after spending his days in the house. Ivan stared at the nightstand, looking duck rice that had started to cool. I don't know why he didn't touch her. His mind is still fucked. Not to mention his physical condition which is still in the recovery stage. Ivan was silent, and every day Rama would come to bring him food and medicine. Sometimes doctors also come to check on her condition. He was sure to be right, this was not Rama's wish. It must be Tommy who asked Rama to take care of him. Ivan was reminded of Shindy, the figure of Rama's wife who managed to drain his mind lately. Yeah, he missed that girl. How's condition? Where is he now and is he okay? A lot of questions popped up every time that one name he remembered. Ivan sighed with annoyance. I want to get well soon and get out of this cage. But it's hard to be sure of that.

CZECH.. The door of his room opened displaying the silhouette of Rama in the middle of the darkness. Rama pressed the light switch. Seen before him, the bare-chested Ivan stared at him.

"You haven't eaten yet?" rama asked as soon as he realized the duck rice he bought was still wrapped neatly in place

"I'm not hungry." replied Ivan briefly

"I think you should eat it anyway, you should heal up first to face me again. Ck.. Too bad, master wants me to take care of you. Though at that time I have won from you." regretted Rama who still reckoned his struggle with Ivan

"I'm not going to die that fast. No, before I can finish you." Ivan stared intently at Rama

"Is it because I've killed your family, so you decided to hate me to the end? Or the.. Ooh, because you want my wife!" said Rama

Ivan fell silent. His grudge against Rama is barely there anymore, but the fact that Rama hurt Shindy is what keeps him from accepting. Perhaps Rama said, that feeling is more than just pity but love?

"I think you want to kill me so you can get it easily. Isn't that Van?" rama asked half-little

"Remember, she's Van's wife. I've spent a lot of time with him. He can't possibly have the slightest room for you" Rama said.

"I think you're jealous Ram. You love her, even though you can't even accept that fact. You miss him too or.. You're starting to feel guilty about all your treatment of her?" reply Ivan relax

"You! Shut the fuck up!" Rama clenched his hand. It felt like hitting Ivan's cold face. But he still held her back, he no longer wanted to linger in this house with the person he blatantly hated.

"Everything I say is true, isn't it Ram? You want your baby and Shindy back. Too bad you sucked in your search" Ivan continued.

"I'll find him! I must have got it! I'll reply to your every word today Van! You'll see!"
