RETALIATION (THE Former)
A Fact

Shindy hugged the tall body in front of her. Ivan who was aghast could only fall silent without being able to speak. Letting Shindy dissolve in her cries was the best choice back then. Almost half an hour they were in the same position, Andrian's remark released the link between the two.

“Sorry it's night, we have to go home soon.” Andrian

“Sorry.” That one word came from Shindy's lips

Ivan pulled the large suitcase he was carrying, while embracing the frail body that led to the parking lot.

“It looks like we got the wrong car. That's the back window, there's no.” Retha turned to Andrian

“No, this is your car. I'm sorry, that time ..” Ivan's speech came to a halt

“I will replace it Aan, after papa's funeral, we go to the workshop and fix it.” Sela Shindy

The husband and wife looked at each other. Wonder also wondered, how the car glass could be broken until there was no left.

“Ehm, sorry let's go in. We have to go home soon, right?” said Ivan

“Ah, yes. Let me be behind with my wife.” Tukas Andrian

Shindy sat next to the steering chair. His eyes were puffy from crying too much. Ivan drove his car out of the airport neighborhood.

“Shindy, last night I arrived at your house after being wrong many times. I saw your house is quiet, even the street lights have been turned off so I think it's better I wait not far from there.” Ivan began the conversation

Shindy glanced at him and then looked back at the street.

“I woke up this morning because I heard someone opening your gate. Your papa's car was taken out, by the driver. Then I intended to go down and tell them, but I saw Rama climb the wall beside your house through the mango tree next door. I'm getting panicked. So that I entered through the same road.” By Ivan

Shindy still did not respond to Ivan's remarks.

“But strangely enough, I did not find Rama there. I have surrounded your house, but Rama is not.  Until I had to sneak into the kitchen through the back door and meet the aunt who was making coffee. I was suspicious of the drink, but I had no evidence to explain it. And your mama called the aunt to bring her coffee forward. And.”

“Enough! I don't want to hear anymore. I'm Tired Van, let me rest.” Cut off Shindy who threw her gaze in the other direction.

Ivan was silent, looking at Shindy's two eyes that were starting to shut. Ivan could only sigh. Ivan looked at the glance from the windshield, the two people behind him were already sound.

“I'm sorry.” Only one word was that Ivan could speak.

Ivan drove his car, entered the connecting toll gate to get to the destination quickly. His eyes were still fully awake, other than because he was driving. His neck made him reluctant to sleep. The car veered briefly into the rest area. Ivan took off his thick jacket and covered Shindy's slender body that was already asleep. His lips dipped slowly on Shindy's forehead.

“I'm sorry Shin. Sorry I failed to keep my promise.” Ivan muttered that was unknowingly heard by Shindy. The tears passed through his cheeks.

“I will find your husband, to avenge all your sorrows Shin has been through. I'm not gonna let him get away with it! Although I have to end up in jail for finishing him, will not care anymore.” Ivan returned to his position.

Shindy improved her sleeping position, afraid Ivan would see her tears trickling down. The quiet streets made Ivan dare to increase his speed to quickly arrive.

A warm welcome from Bu Wulan brought Shindy into the living room, Mr. Anton's body was lying on a wooden cot with a rag covering it. Shindy's tears just shed. His legs crouched closer to the figure of his beloved papa.

“Papa, this is Shindy, Shindy comes home Pa, please get up. Don't stay with Shindy like this Pa. Shindy fear.” Shindy's talk completes the grief of Mr. Anton's extended family

“He killed Shin. He's in poison. Mama has reported to the police, tomorrow your father's body will be brought for autopsy.” Said Mrs Wulan

Ms. Wulan was silent. “He killed Shin. If the killer isn't captured, he'll definitely keep coming after us. We could be the next victims.” Snapped Bu Wulan with a gaze that pointed at Ivan

Shindy followed Bu Wulan's gaze, Surely Ivan just arrived after dropping off Andrian and Rethah earlier.

“Dia! He killed your father, but acted like a helper. In fact he was the first to know, if there is poison in your papa coffee!” Accuse Mrs Wulan

The views of the people who were worshipping led to Ivan. But Shindy just fell silent without a response.

“Catch him Mom! Take her to the police station, have her confess to what she did!” a proposal from one of the citizens

“If I am the villain, why am I still standing here. I should have run since morning without leaving any trace!” rebut Ivan with a pitiful look

“Then where do you know, there is poison in my husband's coffee?” yells Miss Wulan

“It...” Ivan was at a loss to explain how

“You can't answer it right?” bu Wulan continued to corner Ivan

“Enough! Let me investigate this myself tomorrow! Now, I want to rest first.” Shindy said with a flat face.

“Pak Parmin, tie him up and don't run away. He has to stay here, until my husband's autopsy results come out!” the Decree of Miss Wulan

Shindy looked in the direction. With his vows Ivan gave up both his hands to be tied together. Even with both feet tied to the legs of the chair. Both of his eyes were staring at Shindy. There was an unbearable feeling that Shindy felt, yet she chose to ignore it.

“Non.. Miss Shindy!” pekik Bi Ningsih woke up her master

Shindy opened her eyes slowly, Bi Ningsih with a glass of warm milk in her hand seemed to be sitting on the other side of the bed.

“Pardon Aunt interrupting early morning non. Non friend taken to police station.” Bi Ningsih

“What!” Shindy woke up suddenly until her head turned slightly

“Actually, yesterday Bibi had seen Den Rama Non passing next to the house. But, want aunt samperin, Auntie hunted called the same Madam.” Bi Ningsih

“Rama? Rama is really in this house?” ask Shindy to make sure

“Aibi is also not sure Non, it is not possible that he also came here Lah Wong Non Shindy just not here.” Reply Bi Ningsih

Shindy fell silent, remembering the words of Ivan last night who said he also saw Rama enter this house.

“Non! Kok bengong! Here's the milk to drink first.” Bi Ningsih

“Put it on the Bi table. I have to take a shower and catch up to the police station.” Shindy light as she got off her bed.

“But non, said Madam, Miss should not interfere.” Prevent Bi Ningsih

“But, he's my papaku Bi! I need to know the truth!” reply Shindy

“There's nothing you need to find out Shin. Stay home waiting for your father's body to be returned. Dangerous if you're close to that man!”
