The Pearl of Ternista
Sherin's Cunning Plan

A fairly loud music reggae coloring the room smell of nicotine. Between the bed and other elegant-looking furniture, a man sat down while puffing cigarette smoke.

The expression on his face did not display anything good, instead the opposite. But that's what he feels.

"Get out of prison, Novan immediately found his happiness. But I ... even have to survive here, "the inner man who is none other than Juna.

After exhaling heavily, Juna threw out a cigarette butt. Then, on your back while staring at the ceiling of the room. The stories of the past are repeated. The day she had to witness her parents' separation.

It's not easy for Juna to face all that. He knew his father loved his mother very much. However, the woman chose to go with the rich man. He said he was tired of living in poverty.

Since then, his father has been sick. Last time, he was diagnosed with coronary heart disease. Hard work is not enough to cover hospital costs, leaving him to die without treatment is also impossible Juna do. As a result, he committed criminal acts to get money instantly.

Once twice was still safe, but after the third time he was caught and had to end up in prison. His father breathed his last one week after his arrest.

"Sometimes .. I feel like prison is better than where I am now," said Juna. Like a coward who regrets the way of life, yet makes no effort to change it.

But, what can he do? Juna is not a Novan who has skills and capital. As a man who did not forge higher education, was used to working rough, it was difficult for him to ride on his own feet.

Right now, he's just helping mom and dad. Something she doesn't like, but there's no choice.

'I'm sorry, the mother who left you is that. Now, let Mama make amends for that mistake. After this stay with Mama, what you need will be fulfilled. Mas Bagas will also be happy if you want to stay with us.'

Nimas' words while Juna was still in prison.

So well he and Bagas treated Juna, even helping to ease the man's punishment.

From there, Juna thought past disappointments would be eroded, thus agreeing to just stay with them. But in fact, good treatment cannot remove existing wounds. The more days, the disappointment was even more pronounced and left a stifling pain.

"Gee!" The rough Han-village came out from Juna's lips. However, it does not reduce the burden and all the discomfort he feels. I don't know .. what should he be after this.

While Juna was still cursing and trying to shake everything from his mind, suddenly the phone beside him shook. There was one message from an unknown number.

Juna frowned, then somewhat lazily opened the message.

'Look, 'Tomorrow meet me. There's something important I want to talk to you about. At 07:00 pm at Kafe Purnama, table number 5.'

Many times Juna read the message, but still can not guess who sent it.

Not wanting to be curious, Juna replied to the message and asked the identity of the sender. If only the wrong number.

'Tomorrow you will know, Juna Putra Nugraha.'

Juna was silent for a long time. Someone there knows who he is, but he doesn't know who he is.

"When did you meet?" mummified Juna. Quite a dilemma with all of that. On the one hand he did not want to come because it could have been a bad intention, but on the other hand he was also curious. Who is that person and what will be discussed later.

___________

At 07.00 pm in front of Kafe Purnama, Juna was already standing firmly with his casual appearance—knee-length pants and plain black T-shirts.

After a night of thought, he finally chose to come. He thought, he was a man and Cafe Purnama was a public place, so there was no way that person would harm him blatantly.

Without a second thought, Juna rushed to the cafe. His gaze immediately turned to table number five, and Juna was glued for quite a while. There was already sitting a beautiful woman with an appearance that seemed luxurious and elegant. For a long time, Juna had never known the woman.

"Hi" said Juna when he arrived at table number five.

The woman who had previously focused on mobile phones, now looked up and threw a smile.

"Sit down!"

Juna was a little nervous. Apparently he's not in the wrong place. It was that woman who contacted him last night.

"Who is he? It doesn't seem like a simple person," Juna's inner.

"Just go ahead .. I need your help to do something. The reward ... I'll pay you dearly. Just say the nominal you want," said the woman who is none other than Sherin.

"Do what? And ... may I know what your name is?"

"You can call me Sherin."

Juna thought for a moment. The name was no stranger to him. However, he did not remember exactly who it was.

"The job I'm offering isn't too hard. Just help me get close to Novaan. Make him leave his wife and bend his knees to me" Sherin said without hesitation.

His determination was already unanimous to destroy the Tiara household, just as Tiara had done to him long ago.

He also wants to make Novan crazy about him, then left it alone. As the saying goes, one pat two dead mosquitoes.

Meanwhile, Juna begins to remember who he is dealing with. Sherin, Devan's sister. The man who was once cheated by Novan. Apparently, now Sherin's coming for revenge.

"I know you need money. You want to get away from your mother's house that has disappointed you."

Juna was surprised. It was unexpected that Sherin already knew a lot about him.

"Novan's my best friend." Two words that finally glided from Juna's mouth.

Not just a pretense, but it is true. Novan was considered a friend, and it was unlikely that he would betray him.

"He's married. Even if you still think you're a friend, it's just in your mouth. He will not always have time to help you, because the priority must be the wife, especially if later already have children. Keep you ... would you if forever walk in place and continue to live with father continued you? Someone who made your mother forget herself, who indirectly accelerated your father's death?" sherin replied, leaving Juna speechless.

"We are not hypocrites. Today, the most important thing is money. You can get everything with money, even friends."

Juna's defenses are being tested.

"The opportunity didn't come twice. Even if you refuse now, I can find someone else to help me because being close to Novan is not just you. But you ... sure you can find someone else who wants to give you a lot of money?" sherin continued with a slanted smile. Seeing Juna's silence, he was sure that the man would not refuse his offer.

"I've known Novan for a long time, and I understand what he's like. He will not be easily tempted by other women, so most likely you will fail," said Juna after a long silence. That's not just an excuse to avoid, it's the fact that Novan is.

Sherin folds her hands on her chest while leaning her back. Then looked at Juna fixedly and said, "Fragal does not depend on how to play. You just follow my lead. Don't think about the outcome."

Juna was silent.

"So how? Want to work with me?" ask Sherin for the umpteenth time.

Seriate...
