Barbarian Wife (Alexandria And Three Lions)
Chapter 37 Bloody Events

Thirty-one years ago....

Mr. Chatur was holding his newborn baby girl this morning at a hospital in the city.

"It's so beautiful for this father, MasyaAllah."

Bu Asih looks smiling on the bed seeing her husband so happy to hold their daughter. She recalled that her husband had long wanted a daughter after having three sons. Mr. Chatur always looks anxious whenever he sees a female toddler being weighed when posyandu is carried out.

"What's a good name for her, huh, Mom?"

"As for you."

Bu Asih fully handed over the decision to give his daughter's name to the husband.

"Oh, yes, I remember not the storybook we read to the children of yesterday? there's the name of the female knight in the book, it looks like it's a good name for our son."

Bu Asih looked to remember.

"Oh, yes, sir, I remember, I agree that it was my decision."

Mr. Chatur looked at his wife gently and then nodded.

"Okay, my daughter I'll name you...."

Suddenly the door opened, Mr. Chatur and Bu Asih simultaneously turned their heads.

"Mr... Ibuuu.. look!"

"What's Agni, why are you screaming?"

Bu Asih saw his seven-year-old third son coming with a sullen face.

"Here, Mom, Mas Bayu broke my sword."

Agni angrily showed the plastic sword toy had broken in half.

"Yes, wrong yourself, why bother me."

The newly emerged Bayu defended himself.

"I don't bother, I just want to play with Mas Bayu"

Agni insists that she is innocent.

"But you ruined my pazle with your sword, and I have worked hard at it."

Bayu was happy to play pazel, chess and other games that sharpen the brain, and when Bayu was busy composing pazel, Agni went into his room intending to invite to play, but Bayu refused because he was in concentration.Agni who is basically very active idly thrust his sword towards Bayu, but managed to be repelled by him and accidentally hit Pazel, but he was not, The angry Bayu spontaneously took Agni's sword and broke it.

"I didn't mean it."

Agni replied with a sewot.

"All right, I'm sorry"

"No, Mas Bayu has broken my sword."

"But you're wrong too."

Mr. Chatur and Bu Asih looked at each other to listen to the complaints of his two sons. Things like that don't happen the first time. Bayu and Agni are sometimes involved in fights. But Mr. Chatur and Ms. Asih always treat their children fairly and unkindly.

"Hey, that's enough!"

Mr. Chatur interceded and handed the baby to his wife.

"Agni, Mas Bayu has apologized, so you have to forgive him, after all you should also apologize to Bayu for accidentally damaging his toys."

"But my sword?"

Agni was still visibly sulking because the sword she had just bought was broken this morning.

"Father will try to fix, now make up with Mas Bayu, yes!"

Mr. Chatur rubbed Agni's head gently. Then Agni thrust out her hand and was greeted by Bayu.

"I'm sorry, huh, Mas?

Bayu nodded, they then embraced while laughing.

"The Father's son is great."

Mr. Chatur hugged the two with great affection.

"Come here, look at your sister!"

Bu Asih asked his two sons to come closer.

"I don't want a sister?"

Agni refused with a dislike face.

"Why?"

Bu Asih widened his eyes

"That woman can only be troublesome, like my classmates, she always bothers me, ask this for help"

Mr. Chatur and Bu Asih actually laughed at the reason for his son.

"Sir... Boo...."

Tirtha, their eldest twelve-year-old son, appears in Koko's shirt and sarong complete with peci. His first son was very fond of books.Has countless number of books that Mr. Chatur bought for his son

"Tirtha wants to leave, want to go njai first to the mosque."

"Yes.."

Tirtha then kissed the hand of Mr. Chatur then he turned to Bu Asih. When he saw the baby carried by his mother, Tirtha smiled and stroked his sister's cheeks gently. Bu Asih stroked Tirtha's cheek lovingly. He knew his son was very compassionate. Especially to his sisters.

"Come, you two go with Mas, go to the mosque as well"

Bayu and Agni nodded. But when Tirtha was about to come out with his two younger siblings suddenly heard a screaming voice.

Hearing his younger brother's voice, Pak Chatur then exited the room.

"What's up, Chandra?"

"It's bad for you...."

"What's wrong?"

Seeing the look on Chandra's face, brother and right hand Mr. Chatur knew something must have happened. Chandra whispered something. The look on Mr. Chatur's face changed immediately.

"Chandra, get my wife and kids out of here!"

"No, Mas, I'll be here with you."

"No, Chandra, if anything happens to me, you have to take care of them, get away!"

"But,Mas."

"This is an order, Chandra!"

Chandra turned and immediately went to carry out Chatur's orders.

Chatur let out a long sigh and immediately came out. There was a rebellion among the citizens, they had received provocation from someone who wanted to overthrow his leadership as a village head who had been ruled for generations by his family and Chatur was the seventh descendant in his family lineage.

***

"Chandra, tell me what really happened?"

Ask Bu Asih to his sister-in-law who was carrying a horse carriage brought them into the forest.at that time the ground was wet because drizzle down to wet the earth. Bayu hugged his two younger siblings, he also felt that something must have happened.

"Candra?"

Asih asked again because Chandra was silent. Suddenly Candra stopped her carriage. Then Chandra turned her head and looked at her sister's family in turn then she smiled oddly. Ms. Asih felt that there was something strange in her brother-in-law's smile.

"Calm down, Mba Asih, you'll find out soon."

" What do you mean?"

Chandra then got off the horse-drawn carriage, and three men came up from the bushes carrying torches. They brought along a sword in hand, Seeing that Bu Asih's premonition got worse.

***

When Mr. Chatur got to the village hall with some bodyguards there was a commotion between residents and some employees who had been working in the village hall office. Even some of them have been injured because there are angry residents and brutally attacked with sharp weapons and damaged facilities even they also set fire to the village hall office. Lucky when it rained spatter so the fire did not enlarge and spread everywhere.

"What's this about? please calm down everyone!"

Mr. Chatur tried to calm his citizens who were ignited by anger.

"That's the guy, who's been dodging the village funds, he's been eating our money, it's worth the school construction and the mosque is not finished."

One of the people standing at the front voiced his frustration, and was greeted by the others.

"That's not true, calm down, we can talk about it carefully, there's no need to damage the village office facilities like this, besides all the files are there all"

Seeing the condition of the village hall office must be the files inside were damaged or even burned.

"The file that the father manipulated to fool us meant? Mr. Chatur has lied to us all"

"What do you mean? I didn't do any embezzlement, it's all just slander."

"We don't believe, anyway we want to step down some of the village chief."

"I won't back down because I don't feel like I've done anything wrong."

"If you don't want to retreat voluntarily, we will force you to."

"Rubber.really..."

There was a sound of other residents following.They were preparing to attack Mr. Chatur. Mr. Chatur's bodyguards are preparing to fight. But Mr. Chatur seemed to hold them off

"Wait on! I'll prove my innocence"

"Where's the evidence?"

"This is the proof."

Samson, the head of Chatur's loyal bodyguard who was tall and muscular came to take someone with him with a frightened face. Samson held the man's arm firmly while his other hand held a sword.

"Ildra's..."

Murmured Mr. Chatur saw one of the administrative employees in the village office bowing in fear, he was now standing before him. Because before leaving for the village hall, Mr. Chatur has asked Samson to investigate the case, because Mr. Chatur believes there must be someone who is behind all this. Thanks to Samson's ingenuity it didn't take long for him to find the culprit. Of course as the head of the bodyguard, he had a secret army whose performance was beyond doubt.

"I'm sorry, sir.forgive me..."

Indra cupped her hands together with tears.

"Say!"

Mr. Chatur took a breath trying to be patient, even though he really hated a traitor.

"I was just told sir to forgive me."

"Who?"

Mr. Chatur clenched his hand.

"I was asked to manipulate financial statement data and then spread false news to the citizens that Mr. Chatur had committed embezzlement.I'm sorry, sir, I was threatened, if I don't want to do it I'll be killed, sir, forgive me!"

The citizens who heard it looked at each other then they had realized that they had been provoked by someone. Regret comes to their feelings.

"Say who's the guy?"

This time Mr. Chatur's patience has been lost, he took a sword from one of his guards and pointed it at the neck of Indra.

"Rigger-rank... Mr. Chandra."

Mr. Chatur was immediately shocked to hear the name of his biological brother called as if in disbelief, he then looked rather unsteady, the sword in his hand fell to the ground. The bodyguards standing behind him seemed to be holding onto his body. Of course he did not believe, for how could his own younger brother have carried out such a heinous plan to overthrow his leadership. Does that blood tie mean nothing at all?

"Chan-Chandra..."
