The Gambling Bet
a betrayal

        In the prisoner's cell Baron was asleep curled up, since the Baron was driven to divorce by Maria, affecting his mental and spiritual well-being. The body that used to look gallant and cruel, changed drastically with his physical now, the Baron is now sickly, and not infrequently his rations are often taken by other prisoners.

             "Brother Baron has a visit for you." The warden's voice woke the Baron.

            "Heh, Baron has a visit for you." The sound of cellmates waking up the Baron.

          The baron was still asleep, because he was sick and tried to get out of his sleep. He also walked limped to the warden who was standing in front of the prison cell door.

          In the waiting room of the prisoner sitting a man was sucking his cigar, smoke from the cigar billowing in the air filled the room. Faintly, Baron blinked his gaze from a distance, to ascertain who the people who came to visit him were.

        The baron wished that the one who came to visit her was Mary, after the divorce was filed by Mary, since then Mary never came to visit him.

        From a distance the man developed his smile, then got up from his seat and approached the Baron who was struggling to walk because his body was in pain.

            Cc.ck..

          "How are you guys, long time no see, do you still recognize me.?"  Ask Burhan.

             Screeched..

           "Do you want to come here.?" Baron asked looking intently at Burhan who was standing before him.

           "Liet, long time we don't meet, you don't change Baron, you stay grumpy, let's talk first, I miss you so much." Burhan. 

           "No need to make small talk, just tell me what you want.?" Baron ketus.

        Baron sat facing Burhan, Burhan turned on the cigar that had been stuck on Baron's lips.Baron sucked deeply - in the cigar enjoyed every suction.

         Silence.They just look at each other pay attention to the circumstances around to start the conversation . Because of the dense number of visitors who visited their respective families, so Burhan postponed the conversation to be uttered.

         After making sure the visitors were deserted, Burhan approached the Baron by sitting next to him.

        "Baron, of course you know what I mean here .?" 

        "I want to ask you, has the sole heir of Sudirja already disappeared.?" Burhan asked quietly.

         Baron sighed deeply, he was speechless hearing Burhan's words asking about Alya's whereabouts.  Baron's memory revolves around a few years ago.Baron who at that time he was a confidante of Bram, Baron trusted by Bram to oversee the field , Baron who caught Burhan cheating, Burhan , until forced cooperation not to report fraud on the ground. 

          The promised baron will get the highest position in the Sudirja company, Baron follows all Burhan's games, so one day Bram learns of Burhan's cheating, and the, Bram gathers all evidence of Burhan and Baron's fraud and will take him to the legal realm, on his visit to a project that coincides with Anita taking a vacation,  that's where Burhan launched his action by working with Baron to make a car that Anita and Bram boarded with his child and caregiver, having a single accident with the brake car blong.

         Long time Baron was silent, he regretted all his deeds, in the rest of his life that perhaps soon he would not want to hurt Mary , Maria who at that time begged not to kill Alya, because a trust she wanted to protect Alya so that in time came, Maria was determined to hand it over to the Sudirja family.

        "Burhan, why are you asking me that, don't you see how I am now.?" 

         "The person you're referring to has vanished long ago, why do you ask again.?" 

          "Lied.!" Say .!" Who is the woman you will hurt until you are thrown in prison." Burhan said with a drawn look.

          "Ck.ck.., Burhan, Burhan, yes, I did the stupidity of wanting to kill Alya Adrian's wife, just so you know , I did that because Alya was my mistress, she had already drained all my possessions." 

          "Then the woman who protected you from the stabbing you did was who.?" I know everything, Baron, don't you lie to me." Burhan said annoyed.

            Deghs.

        As Baron's heart skipped a beat, he thought about Puspa's safety, Baron knew how ruthless Burhan was, he was able to do something more sadistic if he wanted to get something. His mind was immediately confused at the thought of the right answer.

         "He was the son of Maria's affair, he worked in Dharmawangsa's company." The Baron replied trying to neutralize himself.

         "Trust me, I never betrayed you, if you don't believe ask Adrian himself where he got his wife from, say my regards to him if I miss his wife." Burhan smiled cunningly.

        "I don't trust you that easily, Baron, I'll finish you off if you lie to me." 

         "Then where was the file given by oma Yana, on that night.?" 

         "I don't know Burhan, because by the time we escaped that night, we were being attacked by a herd of robbers, all our belongings were confiscated." 

        Hyng . Burhan looked at the Baron's clinging which now looked pitiful, Burhan's mind trying to digest everything Baron said, disbelief over Burhan's mind, to prove that he needed time to investigate himself.

          ********

          In a corner of the room Jonathan enjoyed his cigarette suction, occasionally he grabbed a glass containing a drink . The look in his eyes enjoyed the passing of the woman who peddled his body with the striped-nose male. 

          "Hay.., can I join.?" The voice of a woman stood before Jonathan.

           Under the flashing light of the lights, and the sound of the sound of the sound of the music of Disjoki Jonathan tried to remember the woman who was standing in front of him.

          "Don't you remember me.?" Ask the woman again.

         Jonathan was only silent as the woman sat beside him, trying to remember the woman who was now sitting beside him.

          "Sorry that night, I forgot to say thank you ." 

          Jonathan was immediately aghast, his memory revolving on the events of that night, where a woman was drinking alcohol until drunk unconscious , luckily she was on the scene that night, otherwise she might have been the victim of irresponsible male abuse.

         "Can we just talk outside.?" Say it back

        There was no reply, Jonathan followed Raisa out of the room. Arriving outdoors they choose to sit under a tree with brighter lighting.

        "Tell me, why did you meet me.?" Jonathan looked at Raisa.

         "I'm sorry yes, at that time I accused you of being a no-no, I came looking for you because I wanted to say thank you."

        "Thank you for what.?" Ask Jonathan.

        "Thank you for saving me." Answer Raisa 

       "Oh that, equally" Jonathan said.

       "Oh yeah where do you work .?" How come this hour hasn't come home yet.?" Ask Raisa.

       Jonathan was silent for a moment at the thought of the right answer, the impossible revealing his identity that he was a bodyguard. 

        "I work for the building workers, miss.?" Jonathan.

         Raisa who stands before Jonathan scans Jonathan's athletic body. Do not swallow the answer given by Jonathan.

        "Oh, so." 

        "Oh yeah, meet my name Raisa.?"  Raisa reached out her hand .

        "Jonathan." 

       They also talked with familiar like a friend, there is a sense of happiness for Jonathan , but it all he tepis far - far away, Jonathan does not want to be disappointed , and not wanting to expect more, the trauma to the woman made him frozen, not wanting to start that would cause deep pain, as his father had, he said, jonathan's mother leaves Jonathan's father with another man, just because Jonathan's father is in economic trouble, a betrayal committed by Jonatahan's mother, now Jonathan is very afraid of the creature whose name is woman.
