DEVIL SNARES
CHAPTER 16
🍀 Bad Memories 🍀
#FlashBack
Sugeng almost raped Ningsih. At that time, Ningsih was still Agus' helpless wife. Agus owed Sugeng some money, but Agus could not pay it. Therefore, Sugeng asked Ningsih's body as a substitute for repayment.
Almost there was a rape, Ningsih's parents came in his rickety hut. Grazed the depraved behavior of the middle-aged man. Ningsih cried bitterly. Ningsih's parents immediately paid off Agus' debt to Sugeng. As well, Ningsih's father threatened Sugeng not to come back again.
From there, Ningsih was determined to change fate. Maybe that's what makes Ningsih not feel guilty about subverting Agus.
***
The next day ....
Ningsih felt very limp and uninspired. The burden of his mind piled up. Especially seeing the condition of Bayu that is not stable.
However, upon seeing the news on television, Ningsih smiled in satisfaction.
[Latest news ....
The fire broke out in an elite housing estate in the city of Yogyakarta. Because it happened in the early hours, help arrived late.
The flames grew and engulfed the entire house of the successful businessman.
There are currently seven people who are four homeowners and three workers. Until now this news was broadcast there was no bright spot cause of this tragic event.
Let's hear the testimony of the people around.
"About 00:30 I heard a cry for help. We rushed out of the house. The condition of Mr. Sugeng's house has been burned by a large fire. I wanted to help but the fire was too big and the family was stuck in it. I don't know why they couldn't get out of the house. What I saw, the windows of their house were indeed trellised. But about the door, I don't know. I was horrified to see that fateful incident." ]
Ningsih then pressed the off button on her television remote. He laughed out loud and felt victorious because of the news.
"Sugeng .. oh, Sugeng. You take my treasure, I take your life!" said Ningsih while grinning.
Accidentally, Bayu heard it.
"Ningsih, who is Sugeng?"
Ningsih was surprised to hear Bayu's voice. Ningsih explained carefully.
"Mas, remember we met early, Ningsih there was a work agreement with an entrepreneur. Well, that's Sugeng. He tricked me, Mas. Ningsih lost all business in Yogyakarta City." explained Ningsih to Bayu patiently.
"Astagfirullah .. why is it like that, Ningsih?" ask Bayu who is still confused.
"Mas, don't be confused. Even though I went bankrupt, I still have money in my savings and villas in the sales process. Later we will all move cities, Mas" said Ningsih persuaded.
"Why should I move cities?" ask Bayu back.
Bayu's face looked sad. As if he disagreed with Ningsih's decision. But what can Bayu do now? His wife and son are gone. Bayu regrets not being able to do much for his little family.
"Sorry, Mas. My decision is round. There is no hope in this city." said Ningsih briefly.
"Alright if it wants Ningsih. Sorry, just go back home. Want to ngojek again." said Bayu chose.
"Mas, don't be so donk. Come with Ningsih, yes. Ningsih promises to make Mas happy."
"Sorry Ningsih, I just want to go home. Even the graves of Narti, Aan and Aji I haven't seen them. Tega, are you taking me away?"
Ningsih was speechless. Not because it could not be evaded, but where Ningsih had to show the graves of the children of Bayu who did not know where the bodies were.
"Mas, please come with me. Let's start a new life together. Didn't you think about my feelings? I'm broke. It all happened so fast right when Mas got into an accident. However, I attach great importance to Mas' condition. I let all my efforts be confiscated by the bad guy. But it turns out Mas ..." said Ningsih who then began to cry.
Ningsih felt so meaningless. Even in this world only Bima really loves Ningsih and understands Ningsih.
"Don't cry, Ningsih. All right, I'll come with you." Bayu calmed Ningsih and wiped her tears.
'Mom, thank you for wiping out Sugeng's family.' Ningsih spoke in his heart.
Ningsih's grudge has been avenged. However, I do not know when his heart injury can heal. Once harassed, making Ningsih want revenge. Then, after the perpetrator died, can the wound be lost? Apparently not!
"NO NEED TO THANK MY WIFE. IN THESE TWO DAYS YOU HAVE TO HURRY TO MOVE. YOUR HOUSE BETTER EMPTY. THE CHILDREN MOVED IN THE CITY NEAR THE COST-COST BUSINESS OWNED BY RATIH. YOU ONLY HAVE TWO DAYS TO TRAIN. THERE'S GONNA BE SOME PEOPLE MAKING TROUBLE LOOKING FOR YOU."
Ningsih also understood the situation that Bima said. Time is not much. Even just to let go of longing with Bayu, can not Ningsih do.
"Mas Bayu, I need your help!" ningsih said firmly.
"Yes, honey. I will help you." Bayu replied with a smile.
Ningsih revealed all her plans. Even selling his house and villas and moving to Kudus is soon possible. Providing decent shelter for Reno and Santi as well as some workers to help Santi and Reno.
"Why is it so fast?" ask Bayu wonder.
"Mas, I've been planning this for a long time. However, I waited for Mas to recover and be healthy. So, please help me, Mas." persuaded Ningsih who made Bayu luluh.
"All right then. We're looking for a place to live for your best friend's kids, yeah."
"Yes, Mas. Santi and Reno I've taken my own son." The smiling Ningsih had won Bayu's heart.
***
Villa Ningsih sold out. Buyers from abroad are interested in the Villa. Ningsih account balance also increased a lot. Ningsih is already eyeing the house for Reno and Santi. And hired a middle-aged mother and her husband to be a driver and gardener. Everything went well.
Preparation to the Holy they did. Ningsih has contacted the owner of the housing in Kudus. Ningsih immediately took one of the houses in the elite area but far from the crowd. The perfect place for Ningsih.
Not to forget, Ningsih bought a comfortable small house for Bayu to live in. Because indeed they have not been able to be together in front of Mak Sri or Wahyu, his little son.
One day goes by quickly. Santi and Reno could not vote because the decision had been taken Ningsih. They also followed Ningsih's decision.
Mak Sri can only come wherever Ningsih goes because Mak Sri does not have the heart to leave Revelation alone. Everything went according to plan. Bayu asked permission to see his house for a moment before leaving all memories with his family.
"Ningsih, I'm going to go home for a second, yeah. Just taking off memories. One hour to come here." said Bayu.
"Good, Mas." Ningsih also allows.
Bayu walked with trembling legs. Looking from afar his favorite house once now looks like a haunted house. Almost a month since that fateful event. Bayu has never been home.
