ENDLESS HALLWAY
CHAPTER 9: THE GUN IN THE POCKET OF THE KIMONO

The car they were riding in had entered the yard of the intended place. Rangga opened the car door and said, "Leave me here Cindy."

"No. I'll wait for you until the problem, over." Reply Cindy.

"But it will likely be a long time if you wait for me to finish." Reply Rangga.

"Let's." Cindy said with her sincere smile.

Rangga returned Cindy's smile as she walked away. While Cindy waited for Rangga in the car while enjoying the songs. He did not feel bored waiting for the man until how much longer, because his heart was so happy. Not long after, Rangga was seen coming out of the business building. His face was bright and never left his smile. Cindy welcomed Rangga's arrival by opening the car door. The man sat on Cindy's side. The ignition key was rotated by Cindy and the sound of the exhaust roar was heard. The Honda Civic car drove away leaving dust and smoke flying.

"Have you solved your problem, Rangga?" Cindy asked while holding the steering wheel.

"Thanks to your prayers all went well." Reply Rangga smiled.

"Thank God. Stay you now accompany me to the Way Halim Permai project to buy cosmetic purposes. You don't have another show, do you?" Reply Cindy.

"Even if I don't mind canceling it." Rangga.

"You know how to pay back, too." Cindy insinuated.

"Obviously dong, I always knew myself. It is precisely you who do not know yourself" said Rangga.

Cindy was a bit jolted at Rangga's words.

"What?" Cindy said surprised.

"Don't pretend Cindy "reply with Rangga.

"Well, what?, I don't know." Urge Cindy.

"My love you don't repay with your love." Rangga.

Cindy's chest suddenly became tight to breathe. Did I really not know myself all this time?

"On the thing behind my mouth that is tightly closed and never mentions love, the embers that burn my heart are the embers of love Rangga. How you don't know the feelings I'm having." Inner Cindy.

"Yes? admit it with your honesty." Rangga.

"You always don't want to understand Rangga." Grumpy Cindy.

"I feel cornered when you say words you don't want to understand. Your words seem to shut my mouth to say nothing. Well this is probably one of those fuzzy, gloomy forms of hope." Cindy let out a long sigh, while Rangga only glanced at a glance. The car driven by Cindy has entered the parking area of the Way Halim Permai Project. Among the cars that stopped in parallel, the parking lotman gave a signal for Cindy's car to stop according to the place provided.

Then Cindy invites Rangga to immediately go down and meet into the store buying cosmetic tools. Cindy's graceful steps brought many eyes to see her beautiful body shape. The curves of his body are so clearly visible because the T-shirt worn is too tight. So even blue jeans wrapped from waist to ankle, forming a body Cindy is very charming. His now enlarged hips weaved in as he walked.

Rangga who was walking by the girl's side felt her blood rise to the crown. After Cindy bought all her needs to take Rangga to the boarding place.

"You don't want to stop by Cindy?" Ask Rangga.

"Next time I'll play to your hostel, Rangga." Reply Cindy.

"When are we dating again?" Rangga continued to ask.

"If there's a good opportunity there isn't." Cindy smiled.

"I'm always waiting for your love Cindy's reply." Said Rangga steady.

Cindy's eyes stared at meu into Rangga's handsome face. It felt like there was something to say, but Cindy rushed to run her car. She saw the wave of Rangga's hand full of waiting.

***

Evening chatter has enveloped the universe showing off the beautiful beauty nan. For teenagers who are getting fit busy decorating themselves in front of a mirror. That night was Sunday night. No different with Rangga who since afternoon seemed busy trying his new clothes. Just this afternoon the third new shirt was completed from the tailor, because two days ago he just received the honor of his novel creation.

Directly buy three clothes stels and want to meet with Cindy because it's been one week more Cindy never met him. Rangga's longing can no longer be contained. Rangga went to meet Cindy at her house. Along the way to Cindy's house, she was burdened with questions.

Could Cindy be so sick she can't see him? Or did Cindy find it difficult, then she did not have time to find it. "... Uh! I hope nothing happens to Cindy."

Rangga still remembered Cindy's words, that she should not come to Cindy's house. But the time that passed was more than a week so that he could no longer hold back his longing for Cindy. And at once curious behind Cindy's true reality.

Rangga's taxi car stopped in front of the fence of the courtyard of a luxurious house. The house looked very quiet and quiet. The door of the house is always tightly closed, as if reluctant to receive the arrival of guests. The luxurious house was not much different from the old house that was uninhabited. With a gontai step Rangga entered the yard of the house. Rangga's eyes looked around the place, how quiet, how quiet, then whose house really But after Rangga approached the door and pressed buy, the situation remained silent. Unknown to the sound of the footsteps of people who approached the door, there was also no sura sahutan from one of the residents of the house. It has been repeatedly bought it pressed by Rangga, still no one wants to open the door of the house.

Rangga was worried.

Finally, after waiting for the door of the house was not open, Rangga walked away from the terrace. Just now Rangga had stepped not far away, he saw a middle-aged woman. The woman was Anita's maid named mbok minah. Then Rangga tried to throw a smile at the woman in a friendly manner. And the woman replied with half-examining.

"Whose brother is looking for?" Ask mbok Minah.

"Not." Mbok Minah. Rangga became confused to hear the woman's answer.

"So this isn't Cindy's house, Bi?" reload Rangga termangu.

The woman shook her head. Rangga let out a long breath. Just as he was about to step out of the house, he suddenly heard the screams of a woman inside the house. Rangga immediately stopped his steps because he knew the voice of the woman. Rangga's eyes looked at the window of the room which brought the voice of the woman's cry through the cracks of the wind hole. Mbok Minah in an instant turned pale and shook all over her body. Rangga grew suspicious and did not believe Minah's description, that the woman said this house opened Cindy's residence.

"Noooo!" A loud shout sounded again from the direction of the room. The fur of Iuduk Rangga became goosebumps. What was tired of going on in that room? Rangga's heart with curiosity. He no longer doubted that the sound of the screams must have been Cindy. So Rangga immediately urged Mbok Minah.

"Auntie doesn't have to lie to me. Know Bi, I am Cindy's best friend. I don't have bad intentions." Rangga assured him.

Mbok Minah just shook her head in anxiety. From the anxiety can be guessed by Rangga if behind all this is shrouded in mystery. And this woman seemed to keep all the secrets contained in it.

"If you don't want to tell me frankly, I'll report it to the police." Rangga.

The woman grew frightened listening to the threat of Rangga. "How's bi? Do I need to report to the police?" Rangga said scared.

"Don't. se. better not." The woman stammered.

"If so, then the aunt should say who was screaming in the room." Tandas Ranges.

"Non. non Cindy." Nervous of mbok Minah.

Rangga breathed a sigh of relief.

"Why is he screaming like that bi?" The woman seemed to have her mouth blocked to explain. Suddenly a loud sounding object fell to the floor, praaang!. Rangga became impatient again wanting to immediately know what had happened actually. He rushed up to the window of the room and hit it repeatedly so that it shocked the two people inside the room.

"Who would dare to do that!!." There was a loud voice of a man in the room.

"Me! The ladder!!." Reply Rangga no less hard anyway.

Meanwhile, Mbok Minah is getting scared. Cold sweat washed all over his body. The window of the room finally opened and Rangga found the look on the face of the old man he had met in the Way Halim Permai project when he was with Cindy first. With a pair of eyes full of embers, the old man looked at Rangga who was standing firm.

While Cindy who was sitting on the edge of the bed, seemed to hold her dress that had opened at the top. Rangga also found Cindy's face pale pias.

"Who are you?! and what is your business to interfere with our affairs!." Shake the old man.

"I'm Cindy's friend. We're talking in the living room!." Challenge Rangga.

"Jangaan Rangga!." Cindy's screams overflow.

"Good!" The old man's.

Rangga walked to the terrace and the old man had welcomed by opening the door of the house wide.

"Please enter!." The old man said.

Before stepping in and sitting on the chair that had been welcomed by the old man, Rangga had looked at Cindy's worried face. The two hands of the girl closely approached the old man's arm. I think there's something to worry about. But Rangga remained calm and sat down on the chair.

"Have you ever known Cindy?" asked the old man seriously.

"Just two months later." Rangga replied frankly.

"You love her?" Urge the old man again.

"Yes." Yeah." Said Rangga steady.

"Fuck!!" Shouted the old man while reaching for the gun in his kimono pocket. But Cindy tried her hardest to hold back the old man's hand and did not manage to pull out the gun in his pocket. In a glance Rangga had seen the attempt of the old man to pull out the gun. His heart beats unbecoming. And cold sweat drenched his head.

But even so Rangga will not step back and want to see what the man did to him.

"The ladder go you! go home!." Shouted Cindy scared.

However, Rangga still stood up straight looking at the old man's face, even though his feelings were not good. The two people who were stared at by Rangga still pulled each other's hands. But after all, the power of women is still not able to match men. So Cindy finally slipped to the floor and the old man managed to pull the gun out of his kimono bag.

"Hermaaaaaaan!!." Shouted Cindy while pulling the old man's legs until they both fell to the floor. Coinciding with the old man's finger pressed the trigger of the gun and an eruption was heard, Rangga ran away while avoiding the bullet attack that threatened his body.

Rangga continued to run without looking back again. Then stop the taxi that happened to pass and rush up. His hunting breath made the taxi driver. Watching Rangga's face through the rearview mirror. Rangga did not take a dizzy pair of eyes the driver noticed his anxiety. The important thing is that he has managed to save himself from death.

While on the way home, Rangga did not understand everything he experienced now.

Who exactly the man is, and what his relationship with Cindy is still a big question bunch.
