DEVIL SNARES
CHAPTER 164

🍀 NOT EASY 🍀

The hardest thing about a relationship is not starting it, it's ending it. When destiny says otherwise, can man avoid and remain on the path he believes in? I don't know, it feels vague. Just as Ningsih felt.

Ningsih is happy to be with Bima and Alex, but deep down, she longs for Revelation. There is no way Ningsih is with Revelation, if he himself is still in the darkness of sin. He does not want the Revelation to suffer and bear its faults.

Mistakes are believed to be the truth of Ningsih and Bima. The truth that made Alex exist and be born of a forbidden love. Love of different religions can be solved. Love different ages, now not a constraint. But love is different in the world? Who can survive?

After a night of telling stories about the distress of each heart, Ningsih was asleep in Bima's lap. Bima looked at his wife's face without blinking. He also thought of things they could live for in order to become a harmonious family.

"Dad, what are you thinking? It seems like it's disturbing. Tell Alex. Who knows, Alex can help." said the little boy who loved his family so much. Not only love Bima and Ningsih, Alex also love Revelation who is his brother today.

"Hmmm, you're a smart, smart kid, Alex. You also pay attention to your parents and brother. Be a creature that is much better than Father," said Bima while stroking her son's hair.

"Surely, what are you doing? Why would Alex be so much better? Isn't Dad the best?" ask her curious little lips.

Bima was silent for a moment. Inevitably, he had to tell his son so as not to become makhkuk like Bima.

"Son, I'm not as good as you think I am. Father is a human being wrathful with the destiny of the Creator. Father finally entered the world of darkness after receiving the offer of the ruler of the Seventh Layer of Hell. I sold my soul and my human life for revenge. After that, for hundreds of years Dad was tormented because he had to mislead as many humans as possible." explained Bima with a sad face.

Alex hugged Bima tightly. "For me, Dad remains the best" said Alex to make Bima touched.

"Son, I've made many human souls into the fires of hell. Dad's grudge against someone, actually makes Dad punish others and very much in number. Countless." continued Bima who regretted everything.

A feeling he had never felt before. When becoming a Devil, all melted into embers of fire that was very stinging. Bima could not feel regret, sadness, or fear. However, everything changed after Bima met Ningsih. Ningsih changed the way he thought.

Bima began to feel pity and sadness, when she saw Ningsih was injured. Bima began to feel regret, when he could not protect Ningsih as well as possible. Bima also felt scared, while separated from Ningsih. Afraid of not being able to be on Ningsih's side, at the exact moment when Ningsih needed to.

"Dad, it's just a part of the past. Now Dad is the best dad of all time. Dad also became a good parent and a good husband for Mom. Alex is proud to be Dad's son" Alex said flattering Bima.

I don't know from where a kid as small as Alex understands such a complex problem. Indeed, the thoughts of supernatural beings and humans are far different. Alex is absorbing a lot of energy in the dark room. He grew faster and smarter and had incredible strength.

"Father's son is very smart to talk. Who taught you?" bima asked while kissing her son's cheek.

"Mothers. While in the dark room, I always talked about Dad. Even though I was there long enough, I always waited for Dad. Alex heard everything I muttered." Alex smiled sweetly to answer Bima's question.

"really? You talk about Dad all day in the dark room? What did Mom say?" Bima was curious about the thought of Ningsih when Bima disappeared.

"A lot. One of them, I always hope you're okay and come to pick me up."

Bima also rubbed the forehead of Ningsih who fell asleep because she was tired. Bima just this time felt gratitude to be a Devil until finally being able to meet Ningsih and be with her until now.

Alex, who sees his parents love each other, has an idea. "Dad, do you want to be human again? So that Mom and Dad can live a normal life." asked Alex slowly.

"A-What? Mean Alex?" Bima was surprised and confused what his son meant.

Alex smiles. "Dad want to be human again? Alex can help. However, once a human becomes a Devil, then returns to being a human, he will actually die and be wiped out from the earth upon death."

Like a light in the dark, the words of Alex make Bima have a trace of hope. But can it really?

"How is Alex? Why do you know?" search Bima curiously.

Alex stood up. He walked over, then closed the door of the house as it was almost dawn and the wind was getting louder. Alex says, "Alex knows because he saw my friend's blind girl."

"Laurent means?"

"Yes, Dad. Brother Laurent. Her grandmother was a witch and in fact, Laurent knew how to turn people who follow Satan into humans again. It's just that the conditions are heavy." explained Alex who stared intently at Bima.

"What conditions? Wait for. I'm still confused about such a complicated thing, why would Alex know?"

Hearing Bima's question, Alex immediately laughed in amusement. "Father is funny. Alex this 'lan can see everything that's hidden. Alex has something Dad doesn't have, which is to penetrate the past and the future through gaze."

"Alex, from now on you can't go alone. Don't stay away from your father and mother's supervision. You, okay?" Bima tried to protect her son.

"I-iya Father. Dad don't worry. Alex can take care of himself." said Alex to underestimate Bima's orders. That made Bima upset.

"Alex won't know what's going to happen. Just follow Dad's orders."

"Okay, Dad." Alex replied. He didn't want to make his father angry or sad.

After that long conversation, the sun began to rise slowly. The dawn adhan also reverberated. Ningsih is still deep in the lap of Bima, as if not want to lose Bima again.

Bima deliberately did not continue his conversation with Alex because he did not want his son to be injured in order to turn him into a human. Bima does not want to take a big risk if you choose the wrong decision.

On the other side ....

Reno and Santi wake up and perform the morning prayers with Nindy. After that, they plan to contact Aunt Ningsih.

"Later so, right, call Aunt Ningsih, sister?" ask Reno while brewing coffee.

"So, donk. Ask her rented house. Who knows, give me an address. So, we can play there." said Santi who was making omellete.

"Loh, Aunt Ningsih's contract house?" ask the confused Nindy.

"Yes, it's a long story. Aunty Ningsih has not been informed for a few days. But he has a rented house, really." explained Santi to Nindy.

Nindy paused for a moment and said inwardly. "People as rich as Aunt Ningsih alone can be doomed, run out of property, and bankrupt. Especially me and Abah and Mom. I'm sorry, Aunt Ningsih. I was forced to find Aunt's place to live in order to get money to buy a house."

Reno approaches Nindy and brings a warm cup of tea because Nindy doesn't like coffee. "Don't daydream. It's warm tea, drink it first." said Reno gently make Nindy more in love.

"Thank you, Brother Reno." replied Nindy while receiving a cup of warm tea made by Reno while Reno drank his coffee.

"Cie, very friendly. Here, help Brother make breakfast. The same makein brother green tea in the green box," said Santi ruled Reno.

"Sir sister is really, can't see Reno happy, huh? Ha ha ha ha ...."

They joke and make breakfast together. Omellete, fried rice, and warm drinks are preferred respectively. After they finished cooking, they ate.

After that, they got ready to take a shower and rushed to change clothes to prepare for the possibility of meeting with Aunt Ningsih. Santi had already sent a message to Aunt Ningsih and hoped for an immediate reply.

Santi: [Good morning, Auntie. How's things? Oh, yes, if you may know where Aunt's contract is now? Santi and Reno want to visit and talk about the good news. Wait for the reply, yes. ]

Santi remains optimistic that Aunt Ningsih will return the message. He also wished that the woman was fine despite living alone. Ningsih had not yet woken up from her deep sleep. Since there was Bima and Alex, they always spent time together with many things that needed to be discussed.

Nindy secretly sends a message to Mr. Evan. He continues to do what is his duty.

Nindy: [Mister Evan, as was the plan yesterday. Today will be to the house of Aunt Ningsih or meet immediately with Aunt Ningsih. I will tell you later if I know where he and Om Bima are. ]

Message sent. Shortly after, Mr. Evan replied.

Evan: [Good job. If you manage to find both of them today, then the money I promised you will be ready soon and I will give you a bonus. ]

Nindy: [Good, sir. ]

Nindy smiled, pleased. He had no idea what would happen if Evan found Ningsih and Bima. He didn't think that far. For Nindy, maybe Mr. Evan has an interest that must be resolved immediately with Aunt Ningsih and Om Bima. While in Jakarta, the house and place of business of Aunt Ningsih have been eaten by the red jago. Scorched and flattened by a burning fire.

"I didn't take the wrong step, did I? I hope everything goes according to plan and I can buy a decent house for Abah and Mom to live in again. I should be able to!" nindy's inner self assured her own heart.
