DEVIL SNARES
CHAPTER 43
A deserted place... Some old, uninhabited buildings on the outskirts of the unkempt city. The chances are very small to find passersby in the area. Yelling is not a good choice, instead of getting help, it can endanger the life of his child. Ningsih thought quickly to end this terror.
"Sugeng.pardon me. I give up. Please end this as you wish. No more quarrels," said Ningsih with a clear face.
"Hahahaha.. if you had been obedient! There's no way to fall like that. Noddily! A crazy woman s*ks like you pretentious acting naive! Remember your rejection at the time? You hypocrite! Even your husband you killed for treasure, didn't you?" The man who lost his sanity was getting closer to Ningsih.
It is clear that the past grudges still revolve to this day. Bringing Ningsih's life to the brink of danger. Even the people around him were a bet. Sugeng could not forget the moment his failure touched Ningsih in the past... Yes, when Ningsih was still poor and in debt.
"I'm sorry.... Mr. Sugeng... I won't fight anymore."
Sugeng stroked Ningsih's frightened face. He whispered, "Serve me here. I'll consider not killing you."
Ningsih was disgusted to see Sugeng's face up close. The burn scars are scary. What power for her safety with her only son, Ningsih nodded.
Sugeng hugged and pierced Ningsih's body. He tried to kiss the widow. However, he stopped immediately because of pain and intense heat from his back.
Ningsih stuck a knife she had been hiding since breakfast at the hotel. He is on guard in case something bad happens. It turned out that his feeling was just right. It really happened.
Sugeng released his embrace from Ningsih's body. That fast Ningsih pushed the body of the morbid old man while pulling a knife stab from his back.
"Wa. the Devil woman!" Sugeng tried to fight back.
However, back Ningsih swung her knife towards Sugeng. So many times that he didn't realize how many pricks he was making. Blood splattered and flowed down the floor of the old building.
"Dead you.. die you... matii!"
Sugeng was covered with blood. Ningsih was frightened when she saw that her hand was full of fishy red stains. He's starting to panic. Doesn't want Revelation to see its condition. He took off his jacket to wipe his blood-stained hands and face. Then take the car keys from Sugeng's corpse, hide the jacket with blood stains on his trunk.
"Mama's son, thank you for being patient. Here Revelation sits ahead" said Ningsih gently to her son.
"Yes, Ma."
Ningsih smiled and rubbed her son's head several times. He took his phone and sent a message to Santi. Many missed calls and unrequited messages.
[I'm sorry, Auntie just got some news. Aunt is fine. It's OTW to Salatiga. ]
Put that phone back. The car started to go down the lonely road.
'Goodbye to revenge. I better end you before ending my life.' Inner Ningsih.
The silence bears the silent witness to Sugeng's tragic death with numerous stab wounds. Go in silence. Revenge between them.

Santi checked his phone that just issued a new message received.
"Alhamdulillah.... PakLek... Buleks.... Aunt Ningsih has news!" santi exclaimed as she ran into the living room
"Alhamdulilah, Nduk," said BuLek.
"Thank God... Aunt Ningsih come straight here?" ask Reno.
"Don't be weird! Beware if you think macem-macem!" Santi looked at his sister.
"Sir, Le. It's good to rest first. Let PakLek be on guard here," said PakLek.
"Just stay here, Mr. Lek. Want to wait for Aunt same Revelation. Santi's worried...."
They were waiting for Ningsih and her son to arrive. Sit in the living room with restlessness. Hope all will soon meet and return to normal life.

"CATYR... GO TO THE FOOT OF MOUNT MERAPI. THERE YOU'LL MEET SOMEONE WHO WILL HELP YOU START A NEW LIFE IN ANOTHER CITY." Bima suddenly gave instructions to Ningsih.
'Ta. but. I have to go to Salatiga first. Bima, where are you really? Sugeng almost.' Inner Ningsih communicate with Bima.
"I ALREADY KNOW. THE BODY I HAVE REMOVED. I CAN'T TELL YOU SOMETHING ABOUT THIS. BUT FOLLOW ME!"
'okay. But let me meet Reno and Santi and leave the Revelation to them, ' said Ningsih.
"YES. TOMORROW MORNING YOU HAVE TO GO TO THE FOOT OF MOUNT MERAPI!"
Ningsih simply nodded and felt Bima was gone again. He looked at the chair beside him, his son was soundly asleep from exhaustion. Many things that make Ningsih was not able to think clearly. However, he still put his son's safety first.
"Prophey, Revelation... We will soon reach Salatiga. Mama will do her best" said the widow of one child while driving the taxi.
Arriving in the city of Salatiga, Ningsih parked the taxi near the supermarket. Ningsih held her son and carried the bag leaving the car with the key. Remove the trail as much as possible. He called Santi....
"Asalamualaikum, Aunt...." Santi answered Ningsih's call.
"Yes, Santi. Are you and Reno okay?"
"Alhamdulilah good. Where's aunt?"
"Would I get a aunt? Aunty and Revelation are already in the center of the city near Ramayana."
"Yes, Aunt. Wait for. Santi get there."
They also ended the conversation. Ningsih walked to the front of the Ramayana which was quite crowded. Trying to find the right place where Santi can find it easily.
Fifteen minutes later.....
The car horn rang, Santi opened the windshield and called Ningsih, "Tante! Here...."
A smile rose on Ningsih's face looking at Ratih's child was fine. He rushed towards Santi. Get in the car while carrying Revelation. He put the bag in the back seat then sat down next to Santi who was driving.
"Yesampun Santi.... Auntie's happy to see you..." Tears dripped down Ningsih's cheeks.
"Same, Aunt. Santi thought he could never see each other again" replied Santi with teary eyes.
"Where's reno?"
"He's at PakLek's house. Aunty rest first yes." said Santi while stepping on the gas car, drove slowly to the house of PakLek Darjo.
"Is it okay? Aunt is troublesome?"
"Not what, Auntie. Oyya... What is aunt here to wear? Where's Aunt's car?"
Ningsih was silent for a moment. Take a deep breath and release the carbon dioxide slowly to make himself calm for a moment.
"It's a long story, Santi. Maybe tomorrow morning Aunt should meet someone at the foot of Mount Merapi. Aunt borrow your car, huh?"
"See along!"
"Don't... Aunty's afraid of putting you in danger.... Sorry, everything is wrong Auntie. It turned out that Satria was not a good person," Ningsih was downcast feeling regret involving the children of Ratih in his problems.
"Tante. Not the fault, Aunt. But let Santi accompany Aunt tomorrow" Santi asked Ningsih.
Ningsih. Is tomorrow a long day for him? Who is the person Bima means?
