The Flashback
Abi, Jojo and Kevin rush into the car. Dendi immediately ran his vehicle at high speed. Everything went according to the plan devised by Abi. Naya's suicide attempt, Freya's kidnapping until the meeting in the mangkrak building, their destination this time. Only one worried Dendi, Vito's last plan that was not said to Ariyanto. According to one of his men, Vito bought a firearm, but they could not find the whereabouts of the weapon. It is less likely that they can trade it for a fake.
Dendi pulled over her vehicle, the man unlocked the trunk then rushed out of the car. He took three bulletproof vests from the trunk and then re-entered the car. He handed the vest to Abi, Jojo and Kevin.
“Vito buy firearms. I don't know what his last plan is, I beg you to wear this vest for safety.”
Without asking much questions the three immediately put on the vest. Jojo's feelings were suddenly anxious. The man wasn't worried about himself but about Abi. His best friend sometimes always acts impulsively, he will do anything to save his loved ones.
“I ask you not to provoke Vito. He can do desperate because his revenge has rusted,” said Dendi while running his vehicle again.
“You're worried about me?”
“Of course sir. Not only me, but everyone who loves you must be worried,” Dendi glanced at Jojo from the rearview mirror. The man's face looked tense.
“You gave me this,” Abi patted the bulletproof vest that was behind his shirt.
“It can only protect father's body. What if Vito shoots him in the head?”
“Then we leave everything to God. Because only He can take care of us. This vest, just one of the tools we prepared to keep ourselves.”
Dendi just nodded her head. In his heart pray, hopefully there will be no bad things later. The atmosphere suddenly became tense, Jojo grew agitated. Kevin who had just closed his mouth did not escape from anxiety. Hearing Dendi's words, he worried about Abi and Juna. I don't know what his best friend would do if something happened to Abi.
“How about Freya?” abi's question blew the daydream all over.
“Freya safe sir. Now Mr. Agung and Ravin are guarding it.”
“Sgratitude.”
Finally, the car driven by Dendi arrived at the mangkrak building, where Abi met with Ariyanto and Vito. Dendi led them into the half-finished building. Jojo stops Abi when they are almost at the rooftop.
“Bi.. Whatever happened up there, please. stop being my shield. It's my problem, Vito's vengeance on me. If with my death, can make things peaceful, I sincerely.”
Abi stares dislike at what Jojo says, without answering anything, the man continues his steps towards the rooftop. Dendi deliberately waits on the last staircase, just in case Vito or Ariyanto escape. Beno and some of his men are already in the rooftop, they are in position to help Abi.
☘️☘️☘️
Rian immediately followed to the building where Vito met with Abi and Jojo after hearing that his cousin was about to avenge Jojo. Rian is the first son of Setia, the younger brother of Aswan, Vito's father. Along with Rian, also Keysha, his sister.
“Kak come even faster. We have to stop Vito,” exclaimed Keysha.
“Vito is crazy! Why didn't you tell me from yesterday, Key?”
“I don't know brother. I also just found out when Celin called me. Mba Celin also said that brother Vito bought a firearm.”
“What?”
Rian pressed the gas pedal deeply, he had to get to his destination as soon as possible. Before he died, his father told him to keep an eye on Vito so as not to continue to drown in his grudges. Repeatedly Rian cursed himself until he could not help.
The car Rian was driving continued to drive on the highway. Several times the man overtakes the vehicle in front of him. Five minutes later he arrived at the meeting place. Keysha immediately rushed down as soon as the vehicle stopped.
“Key!! Wait!!”
Rian immediately darted after his sister who immediately ran into the building. On the eighth floor stairs, he could only catch up with Keysha. His sister was resting for a moment to recover her stingy breath. Rian helps Keysha continue to climb up to the eleventh floor.
The situation at the rooftop is getting tense. Knowing that Abi had changed his hostage, the man pointed a gun at Abi. Jojo tries to get rid of Abi who is standing straight in front of him, but his best friend is unmoved.
“Soaring Bi.. Vito just wants me,”Abi doesn't mind Jojo's words.
“Keep! Or I'll actually shoot you!” Vito pulled the gun.
“Bi.. step aside, remember Nina, remember the kids.”
“Mas..”.
Abi was surprised to hear Nina's voice. His wife came with his youngest son. Kenan who does not know about this incident bermakud approached Vito who was pointing a weapon at his papa. But Cakra immediately held him back. Seeing Abi's attention diverted to Nina and Kenan, Jojo pulls Abi's body.
“Let down your weapon, Vito!!” yell Juna.
“Have your sister step aside!”
“No going!!” exclaim Abi while getting rid of Jojo's body.
“Job!! Die you, Bi!!”
Rian and Keysha who had just arrived at the rooftop gasped as Vito pointed a firearm at Abi. As fast as lightning Rian ran towards Vito and Keysha ran towards Abi.
DOR'S!
The hot lead that Vito fired shot out quickly. Keysha blocks Abi's body and a bullet successfully penetrates her back. Abi's body collapses with Keysha's fall. Abi quickly hugged the woman while looking at her bloodied hands.
“MAS!”
“PAPA!”
“ABI!”
"KEY!"
All who were there immediately rushed towards Abi. Rian stopped his steps and then looked back, he gasped as soon as he saw the brother who was hit by Vito's bullet. The man immediately ran towards the sister. The weapon in Vito's hand just came off when he found out he had been mistargeted.
Juna darted towards Vito and landed a punch against the man. Not enough to get there, he also kicked Vito's body that had been sprawled helpless. Cakra and Beno pull Juna away from Vito. Cakra codes Beno to take Vito away.
“Key... I beg you to hold on,” Abi hugged Keysha's body.
“Kak Abi's.”
“Why Key.. why do you do it?”
“Because I love you sister.”
“Key... please survive.”.
Abi's tears just flowed to see fresh blood coming out of Keysha's back. Rian sprayed on the sister, his cry broke to see Keysha's condition covered in blood. Jojo took off his suit and put it in a gunshot wound that kept bleeding. Pressing the wound to prevent bleeding.
“Key.. Key..” Rian tries to take Keysha from Abi but the woman rejects him.
“Sister let me be with Abi's sister. For the first and last time let me feel his warm embrace.”
“Key...” Nina grabs Keysha's hand.
“Nina.. I borrowed your husband for a minute, can I?” Nina nodded her head while crying tears. Kenan approached and grabbed the shoulder of the mother.
“Let's go to the hospital,” Abi was about to lift Keysha's body, but again rejected.
“I don't want to brother. I want to be here in your arms. My time is not much. Hugged me brother.”
Abi tightened his embrace on Keysha's body. Keysha's hands encircled the waist of the man she still loved to this day. Tears flowed from both corners of her eyes, not tears of sadness but happiness. At the end of his life, he was finally able to be in the arms of his beloved man.
“A..ku.. men.cin.tai.mu...kak.”.
“I know Key... I know,” replied Abi in between her tears.
“Ja..ngan.. me.na..ngis.. ka..k, a.ku.. baha.. gia...”.
Keysha shook his head weakly. He looked at Abi's face, although he was no longer young, but still looked handsome in his eyes. Keysha's hand moved to wipe away the tears on his beloved man's face. Then he looked towards Rian.
“Ka..k to. want to. nanku... su. dah ter.. kabul...”.
“Iya Key.. Abi is here, with you. You happy?”
Keysha nodded his head slowly. Rian's cry grew louder, he knew that his beloved sister would soon leave him. His hand was clutching Keysha's hand.
“Ka..k A.bi.. ak. ku.. per.gi...ga.af...” Keysha's hand drooped weakly and his eyes closed slowly.
“KEY!! KEY!!” Abi shouted loudly while hugging Keysha's body.
“Key.” Rian could not help his crying.
“Innalillahi wa inna ilaihi rojiun,” said Cakra slowly.
Nina hugged Kenan's body, her tears breaking in her son's arms. Rian sat down in front of the body of the brother who was still in Abi's arms. Abi's tears can't stop flowing. Although he did not have any feelings for the woman who had the status of his cousin, but sadness did not inevitably hit him. Moreover, Keysha's departure for protecting himself.
Juna sat next to Abi and hugged his sister. Jojo leaned his back against the wall while pinching his hair. Again because of him, someone became a victim. Cakra approached Jojo, then hugged his best friend.
“It's my fault, Cak. Wrong me.”
“It's destiny, Jo. Stop blaming yourself.”
Barra was stunned to see the condition of the father who looked fragile. Similarly to Nara, she is still shocked to hear the dark past of her father. The woman lowered her head deeply. I can't seem to be in touch with her husband.
☘️☘️☘️
Rian immediately held Keysha's funeral. Vito's business was handed over directly to Juna. Celin, Vito's wife is surprised not to play hear what happened. Repeatedly he apologized to Rian, Juna and Abi. The two Vito children were also shocked to hear their father's actions. Especially when they know their dear aunt is the victim of the shooting of the father.
The funeral was solemn. Abi and Juna help Rian deliver Keysha to his final resting place. Nina's tears flowed again when she saw her husband and Rian and Juna lay Keysha in a hole measuring 1x2 M. The woman who used to insult her, who often disturbed her husband was so loving Abi sincerely that she was willing to sacrifice her life for him.
Aided by Juna, Abi goes upstairs, then they let the gravediggers do their last job. Covering Keysha's body with soil. Juna held onto the shoulder of the sister. Although not saying it, Juna knew how devastated his sister was. He then looked at Rian who looked so tough to take off his only sister.
After offering prayers, the pallbearers went home. Juna and the others chose to stop by Rian's house first. Celin and his two children were also heading there. They choose to accompany Rian rather than meet Vito who is being held captive at the Wisdom family security headquarters.
“Kak.. on behalf of Vito mas, I'm sorry. If I had known from the beginning, I would have prevented it.”
“All happened, Cel. I hope this revenge business is over. Farah, Arman, I hope you don't hold a grudge for this. Your father will be punished according to his guilt. You should know, what happened is not the fault of Abi or Jojo om. It's purely your papa's fault that can't get rid of his grudge. Om Jojo is also innocent, Vicko, your papa's brother died of his own actions. It's a complicated problem like a tangled thread. I hope everyone stops here. We are family, however. Do not repeat the mistakes of our parents.”
Farah and Arman nodded their heads hearing a long sentence from Rian. They are not angry, especially to the point of causing a grudge. They were disappointed that the father was the cause of death of the aunt they so loved.
“Bi. It's Keysha's choice. He did it because of his love for you.”
“I've never been nice to her,” shrewd Abi.
“You're his life's encouragement, Bi. I also know you secretly helped his cafe. You don't really hate him, Bi. Your rude attitude is just to make her not bother Nina anymore, I know that.”
“What does Key hurt?” ask Juna.
“Iya. Ten years ago he had uterine cancer. His uterus had to be removed so that cancer cells did not spread. That's what makes him reluctant to get married, other than because he is dead love to Abi,” Rian smiled thinly at the thought of his sister.
“But two years ago it was known that cancer cells did not die and even spread to other organs. He struggles with his pain, but the last doctor to sentence his life will not be long. To last two months is a miracle. He always said he didn't want to die from his illness but he wanted to do something useful for others. And his wish has been granted. So don't blame yourself, Bi. Think of it as an expression of his sincere love,” continued Rian.
Abi is speechless. The man just kept silent, Nina continued to rub her husband's back. Juna said nothing either. He was also not very familiar with Keysha. In his heart of gratitude, Keysha was willing to kindly save his sister's life. He also did not expect, Rian could be this wise to reveal all the problems that occurred.
“What do you want to do on Vito?” ask Juna.
“Send it to the police. Let him get the punishment. You don't mind, do you?” Rian looked at Celin and his two children. All three nodded their heads. What else can they do besides. Vito killed Keysha.
☘️☘️☘️
After coming home from Rian's residence, Abi just shut herself in the room. Nina was always faithful to be by his side. Abi laid his body on the bed with his head in the lap of his wife. Nina continued to rub the top of her husband's head, while one of her hands was tightly grasped by Abi.
“Do you already know about the pain of Key?”
“Iya. When he came here, in addition to apologizing, he also told me about his illness. I can't tell you this, sorry. He also asked for permission, if the time to leave had come, he would have wanted to die in your arms. But I didn't expect him to leave so soon,” Nina rubbed the clear circles back in flow.
Abi changed his sleeping position. His hands wrapped around his wife's waist while burying his face in Nina's stomach. The man's back seemed to shake. He cried, still remaining in his regret about what happened to Keysha. Moreover, Abi has never been kind to his cousin.
Worried about Abi's situation, her three children gathered in front of the room. They want to know how the condition of the papa. But the three of them broke in as soon as they heard Abi's crying voice from inside. Hearing her papa's cry, Freya couldn't help but cry. The girl sobbed in Kenzie's arms.
Kenan sat himself on the floor with his back against the wall behind him. The young man's eyes also looked teary. The sadness that Abi felt seemed to reach him. Only Nara was not with them. Kenzie's wife chose to lock herself in her room. The past about the papa he heard earlier was enough to shock him.
Not long after the door opened. Nina was surprised to find her three children sitting in front of her room. I see the mama. He got up and approached her. From the open door, Kenan saw Abi asleep.
“Papa how ma?” ask Kenzie.
“Your father has nothing. Now sleeping, my mother just gave him some medicine. Body's a little feverish.”
“I can see papa right ma?” ask Kenan.
“Yes, you can see but one-on-one yes entry. Don't let your father wake up. Mama wants to prepare dinner first.”
Nina went to the kitchen. Freya went into the room first. For a moment he saw Abi who was asleep. Without making a sound, Freya walked over and sat on the floor, right near Abi.
“Papa.. I am very grateful to Aunt Key, for saving papa. I love papa, I still need papa. Papa has to stay healthy and strong for mama, me, Nan and bang Ken. Love you papa.”
Freya raised her body slightly then kissed Abi's cheek. The girl then stood up and walked out of the room. Kenan came in after. Just like Freya, the young man sat near Abi.
“Pa.. fast healing yes. Papa don't be sad anymore. Aunt Key is happy in her new place. Papa was lucky to be loved so much by Aunt Key and mama for sure. Papa should stay healthy. I'm not ready to lose papa. I will take the woman who holds my mouth and bring her to the front of my father. Papa will see me get married and give you a lot of grandchildren. I love papa.”
Kenan kissed Abi's cheek and then walked out of the room. Nara who had just joined, went straight in when Kenan came out. Upon hearing that her father-in-law was ill, Nara immediately ran downstairs. He sat down beside Abi.
“Papa.. thank you for your great affection for my papa. When he has done something bad to you, my dear father will forgive him. Thank you Papa for always being by her side and protecting her. My love for papa is as great as my love for my papa. Healthy continue pa, me and mas Ken also others still need you. I love papa.”
Nara grabs Abi's hand and kisses the back of his hand with reverence. The tears that washed her face first washed the woman out of the room. Kenzie looked at Nara's eyes that looked puffy. The tail of his eyes continued to look at the wife who had returned to her room. The man then entered his parents' room.
Long enough Kenzie just sat looking at Abi who was fast asleep. The tense incident on the rooftop again imagined in his eye peluk. His heart stopped beating when he saw Vito firing a firearm at Abi. Kenzie's eyes heat up, I don't know what would happen if Keysha didn't come to block the bullet for the papa.
“Pa. please don't scare me anymore. Papa knows I'm not parting from you yet. Stop acting like a hero. Papa is old, no longer worthy to act like James Bond. Now it's better to take a break, spend a lot of time with my mom while waiting for my granddaughter and Nara. Let me take care of Mama, Nara, Frey and Nan. I will also look after and protect papa from now on. Your son is grown. I love you papa.”
Kenzie got up from his seat and moved to the side of the bed, right next to Abi. Kissing Abi's cheek then hugged the sleeping body long enough. He was pinched when he felt Abi's hand embrace his back.
“I love you too, son.”
“Sleep pa.”
“Where to sleep if you are noisy constantly,” Abi chuckles while releasing her embrace.
“I'm out. Papa rest if you don't want to get mama.”
“Iya.”
Kenzie stood up and confirmed the blanket covering his father's body. The man walked out of the room and closed the door in a slow motion. Then he stepped up to the top floor. Kenzie's hand moved open the door to his room, his wife was sitting daydreaming on the mattress while hugging her knees. Kenzie crawled up onto the bed and sat down next to Nara. His wife's shoulder went into his arms.
“What's the matter dear?”
