EX (SHACKLE OF FIRST LOVE)
129. Treaty

Anton opened his eyes, aware that he was not in a familiar place. This was a strange room for him, certainly not another room or space in his own residence.

Anton also knows if the current condition is in a condition of hands and feet are tied. Wh why? Involved with who he was to be in this state?

This room is dark, there is only a beam of light from the sidelines of the closed window sills. But, Anton realized that he was currently occupying a single sofa that is quite soft.

Hhc ....

A soft snoring-sounding voice in Anton's hearing. The man automatically looked at the door that had just opened, followed by two people who entered but also looked foreign in his vision.

"Wake up, lo?"

One of the men with a big fat body began to make a sound when he realized that Anton had already opened his eyes.

Anton tries to stay calm, his right brain immediately rotates the memory quickly, as if to restore his memory of what a fleeting event that had been missed - until finally Anton must end up in a dark room like this. Anton wants to get the cause - why is this happening?

Slowly, Anton began to remember a keyword. Lucky's. Yes, he remembered very well that his last moment was with the man.

Now, now, his left brain also thinks quickly - as if working harder than usual to think about what strategy he must make an alibi in order to trick the two people in front of him who he believes serve as this guard.

"Lo don't have to think much, here you will not be in anything like the boss. This is so that his wife the boss returns" said the other guard.

Anton wince in wonder. But his intuition is high enough that he knows Lucky's main intention is to hold him today.

All Anton thinks is his daughter, he wants to get out of here because he's worried about Baby Elara. Maybe because he loves the baby too much, but Baby Elara must be safe with Yara.

About Nadine, Anton is also worried about her. Anton doesn't know where the woman is. But, if it is the way Lucky holds him like this can bring Nadine back here in good health, then Anton is sincere with this situation.

The two guards stepped aside slowly as the sound of a flick of a finger sounded. Followed by a silhouette that slowly appeared in the minimal light room.

Lucky is in front of Anton now, casually rolling up his shirt arms one by one. He glanced at Anton who was also staring at him sharply.

An understatement, re-rising at the corner of Lucky's lips. He shook his head faintly, then looked at the two guards who were still there.

"You may go out" he said slowly to the two men.

Lucky walked over to Anton after his men left the same room.

Lucky now stands tall by folding his hands in front of Anton who sits down. As if to show that he is higher and powerful, while Anton on the contrary, is nobody.

"Okay, I'm sure your body is still strong enough to wait here until Nadine is back."

Anton was still silent, he listened to the end-goals of what Lucky said that was no longer formal.

"But we made a deal first."

"What do you want?"

"Please promise not to bother Nadine again after this. He will return with me to Singapore without the shadow of someone like you. Huh?"

"What's in it for me?" ask Anton in an uninterested tone.

"You let me get out of here alive" Lucky said with a slanted smile afterwards.

"If I refuse and just stay friends with Nadine?"

"Friends?" Lucky frowned but only for a moment, because then he laughed discordantly. "Hahaha, did you say you were friends? Impossible," he said.

"If Nadine wants to separate from you and wants happiness, why don't you go along with it?"

"No ... no. .. Would you negotiate with me by talking about it? You think my heart will be touched? No! I'm not that naive, Anton. I love my wife so much!"

"But I hear you're remarried" answered Anton, who now also wears an understated smile towards Lucky.

This time, Lucky fell silent at Anton's reply.

"This world, not everything you want you have to get. There are things you have to let go of, so you can learn what it is to be sincere."

"You think your talk means something? That sounds funny in my ear when you're advising me!"

"Only those who are not willing to listen to advice!"

Anton sniffed his shoulders. "As far as you go, let's wait for Nadine to come back. That's if he wants to."

"She must have come here after knowing you were smoking!"

Anton just took a deep breath. He wasn't too sure if Nadine would actually come back here knowing about this captivity.

"If you don't abide by our agreement, then you won't get out of here under the same conditions."

"So you want me to agree to that deal?" ask Anton.

"Of course!"

"Unfortunately I don't want to. I love your wife too!"

"Huh?" Lucky was stunned for a moment to digest Anton's confession just now. "Based on breng sek!" detestation later.

"We're the same!" anton said with a mocking smile. He reminded again that Lucky had admitted if he had this trait.

Like a fidelity, Lucky hit Anton's body with all the energy he had. He hears emotionally that Anton also loves his wife. This fact makes him even more afraid and afraid of losing Nadine because it means that Nadine's feelings for Anton are reciprocated with the same taste. Lucky feels defeated.

If beating Anton to a pulp can exterminate his pain - then he will continue to do so.

The sound of punches, bumps and loud kicks rang out in that echoing empty space. Of course Anton can't retaliate because of his condition tied to the couch.

"Haha .. behavior of the breng sek, beating the other bek who is in a bound state. Are you a loser too?" sibir Anton with a bland laugh.

Lucky's eyes are patterned, even Anton's mouth is already seen bleeding now but he can still mock Lucky.

"Bas a coward!" anton said again. "If you're really a fighter, don't beat people with my condition tied up like this. How humiliating!" anton's circus interspersed with later ruckus.

Lucky was very upset with Anton's words. He saw a block of wood there and took it to face Anton who put on an annoying look as if he kept mocking him.

"Even if I die in your hands today, Nadine will still love me and hate you for the rest of her life!" anton shouted as Lucky almost hit him with a beam.

Prak!

Lucky finally gave up, he threw the block of wood on the floor, not so landed a punch on Anton's face that made him emotional. Because, Anton's words have a point, he does not want Nadine to hate him more later.

Lucky ended up sitting on the floor with shaky shoulders. It seemed to wake up. Wrong, all the way he did to make Nadine back in fact was a mistake. It wasn't Anton who caused Nadine to leave, but Lucky's own behavior. It wasn't Anton who made Nadine ask for a divorce, but because it was Lucky who had inflicted great pain on the woman.

"If you're content to vent your anger on me today. Then let me go home. I have a baby who needs me."

Lucky took a quick glance at the man who was already in a battered state. Suddenly he felt his behavior was outrageous.

Lucky got up from his seat, still with a hunting breath because he was still tired of struggling and attacked Anton without a fight because the man was unable to retaliate.

"I changed the deal." Lucky looked at Anton with a difficult look.

"What?" anton's Response.

"Get Nadine if she comes back to this town! I let go of you."

Lucky reached out to the man in front of him. Anton smiled faintly and shook the man's hand.

"I think it's even because you beat me up without me retaliating" Anton concluded.
