Eps 118 - Hunch and Power

Ummi Aisyah woke up from her sleep when she heard her brother knocking on the door outside, she got out of her bed and saw an open window. It was already night and so dark, Outside the rain was so heavy and the wind was so strong, Umm Aisyah closed the window in a hurry.

"Yes Allah... La hawla wala quwwataa illa billahi.." he muttered as he heard the sound of lightning striking, along with it the sound of pounding on his door sounded louder, making him instantly jerked.

"Nnnl..." Aisyah immediately ran out when she heard Firda's voice mixed with the sound of rain and lightning.

He opened the door and his breath seemed to be stuck in his throat when he saw Firda standing in front of his house with a body soaked, cold, his face so pale and his lips quivering. But what makes her astonished is Firda's clothes are full of stains. It freaked her mother out.

"Darling, Son... Oh, my God, son..." Ummi Aisyah immediately pulled Firda's left hand and brought her in.

"Firda, why are you here? What's going on, son?" asked her mother, she took a cloth draped on the sofa and directly covered Firda's body with the cloth, but once again he was stunned when he saw Firda's right hand holding a knife covered in blood as well.

Ummi Aisyah immediately screeched in shock and stepped back, Ummi Aisyah covered her mouth with both of her hands and tears instantly flowed freely on her cheeks. While Firda's cry instantly broke seeing her mother's reaction and her body instantly decayed to the floor.

"Hiks... Hix... Ummie... Hix... Hicks..." Firda looked down deeply, her tears mixed with the rain that was still soaking her cheeks.

"I'm sorry... Ummie... Sorry, hiks hiks..." Firda was crying hysterically, her whole body was shaking from the cold and because her crying was becoming more and more.

Ummi Aisyah who saw it became unbearable, he approached Firda slowly. Ummi Aisyah crouched down and tried to take the knife in Firda's hand but Firda still did not want to release the knife.

"Honey.." her mother coaxed gently, but Firda shook her head and suddenly she dropped her body into the arms of the mother, automatically her mother's hand immediately hugged Firda.

"Darling, what's going on?" ummi Aisyah asked with a trembling voice, out there the rain was getting heavier, the wind was getting louder and lightning was striking from all directions.

"Firda..."

"Son..."

Firda did not respond in the slightest until suddenly the knife in his grasp fell and his body warped like boneless, making Aisyah panic and he immediately shook Firda's body which was still wet.

"Firda..."

"No, Firda..."

"Wake up.." shouted his hysterical what more as he realized Firda's right chest was open and shedding blood so profusely. Flowing into the lap of Ummi Aisyah.

"Oh, no.." cried Umm Aisyah and tried to cover the wound on her daughter's chest but it was all for nothing, the blood continued to flow until the two sat in a pool of Firda's blood.

"NO...."

"Dear..."

Abi Farhan immediately ran up to Umm Aisyah who shouted in her sleep, Ummi Aisyah woke up with sweat all over her body and tears that wet her face even the mucus she wore.

He looked around and was currently in his room, asleep on his bed after performing the tahajud prayer.

"What's wrong?" abi Farhan asked worried about seeing the look of fear on his wife's face.

"Firda, Mommy. Firda.." exclaimed Aisyah with a trembling voice she wiped her wet face with the tip of her face "He's hurt, Mas" he added with a face that was getting scared.

"You must be a dream, Aisha. Don't think too much, whatever it is, it's just a dream." Abi Farhan said to calm his wife, he embraced his wife.

"But, Mas. It feels real." said Ummi Aisyah again.

"Maybe you're just thinking about her, aren't you? She's fine..."

"I want to call Firda, Mas. I want to make sure she's okay" Pinta Ummi Aisyah again while pushing her husband's chest that still holds her.

"He's on vacation again, we should not disturb him first huh" said Abi Farhan again.

"But, Mom..."

"Aisyah, this is also still midnight" he persuaded again, Umm Aisyah directly glanced at the wall clock and she sighed listlessly. He held his chest where his heart was beating very fast.

"Protect my daughter, my granddaughter, and my son-in-law, O God"

.........

John growled furiously when he saw in the room only Hito's body was covered with a cloth.

He approached the broken glass window, they must have run away from there, he thought.

There was a car roar and they ran after him. But the car was going very fast and John forbade his men from shooting at the car.

"Agh, shit.." John growled.

But Gabriel must think of Firda, Micheal and Mini who even to this second still continue to cry as much as they have lost one of the people he has. While Micheal was also crying in fear in Firda's arms, without any fatigue Firda continued to try to calm her stepson down.

John and his men go after Gabriel, causing Firda and Mini to panic.

Gabriel increases the speed of his car but he must step on the brakes when a truck arrives to block his road.

Gabriel hit the steering wheel with emotion, he looked around to find a gap to escape but nothing.

John certainly knows Gabriel very well, there is little gap, Gabriel will not hesitate to make a decision.

"Gabriel.." - Lirih Firda was terrified.

"Sshhhtt, I will protect you" whispered Gabriel strengthening his wife.

John got out of his car quietly, he approached Gabriel's car and knocked on his windshield.

"Come out, I'm not going to hurt you." said John, but Gabriel would not believe what the man said.

Mini and Micheal were getting scared, yet they could only cry.

"Mom.." cried Micheal arrived while pointing to his left.

Firda and Gabriel follow where Micheal is pointing and they see Angeline and Frank coming down from a car.

"Mommy...."

"Mommy...." Michael rebelled in Firda's arms and cried hysterically, causing Firda's stomach to hurt again.

"Gabriel..."

Angelina also bangs on Gabriel's car glass crying "Give me back my son, please..."

"Stay in the car." Gabriel told Firda and Mini "Don't come out whatever happens, if you have the chance, get out of here..."

"But..."

"Darling..." Gabriel framed Firda's face with his hands, he wiped away Firda's tears which slipped in the corner of his eyes.

"Now, the safety of our children is in your hands" Gabriel whispered, but Firda shook his head and tears flowed freely from the corner of his eye.

"Let me explain one thing." said Gabriel again "You hate violence and the criminal world, if Micheal is in Angeline's hands, then it was the same in the hands of his grandfather who was obsessed with this criminal force" said Gabriel hastily.

"I beg you, keep my son away from my black world..."

Gabriel got out of the car and let Firda speak. Firda immediately gave Micheal to Mini and he was now sitting at the wheel.

"Give me back my son." cried Angeline hysterically as she struck Gabriel in the chest but Gabriel caught Angeline's hand and stared at her intently.

"Your son will be his slave..." Gabriel said coldly as he pointed at John "Edward..."

John was not surprised, he knew Gabriel must have known about this fact. While Angeline who still does not understand anything can only continue to ask for her son.

"Now you know I'm your father, Son. Then let's go home." take Edward lightly who made Gabriel growl, with a quick movement he took his gun and pointed it right in Edward's head, gabriel's gaze was like that of an angry hungry lion.

Edward was not afraid, he actually returned to ring, of course because now his men pointed their weapons at Gabriel's car, where in his there are people Gabriel loves.

"Your car is bulletproof, but what about 30 shots? 50? 100? Or do we just blow it up?" edward asked with a satisfied smile on his lips.

"Ah, I'm afraid, Daddy." said Gabriel but he only pretended to be afraid.

In the next second, it was Gabriel who was ringing when all Edward's men actually now point their weapons at Edward.

Making Edward glare, he stared at his men and Gabriel in turn. His face looked extremely angry and he clenched his hands tightly.

"Oh, don't be angry. They're not betraying you, they're just being loyal." said Gabriel and now he's smiling with satisfaction.

"If you forget, you're just the daughter-in-law of the Emerson family. My Mom is the real queen, and I'm the real king. And you..." Gabriel pointed his finger right in front of Edward's face "You're nothing without us..."

Angeline and Frank can only be stunned to see that, Edward also did not expect Gabriel could turn things around just as easily as a snap of a finger.

Gabriel turned to Firda and gave his intention to leave.

Suddenly it makes Micheal more hysterical calling his Mommy and Angeline was getting angry at Gabriel.
