Presentiments
In a modest house on the outskirts of the capital. In that not-so-big but beautiful house, a middle-aged woman was thinking hard. Unlike his language getting late at night, he was getting more agitated.
Several times he tried to close his eyes, but still could not deliver it to dreamland. No matter how hard he tried, but still in vain.
"What's this, why don't I feel so good ?"
Said the woman who had entered the age of twilight. Ratih got up from his bed and stepped outside the room. Slowly he stepped into the living room. His hands were holding a bottle of cold water and a glass glass.
After perfectly sitting down, he poured cold water into the glass and was ready to gulp it down. But suddenly something unusual happened again.
Prahinngg....
"Huhhhh.... !"
Instantly, the glass he held slumped from his hand and crashed into the marble floor. Suddenly Ratih's mother panicked, reflex he rose to his feet. Both of his eyes widened to see the broken glass scattered. A little splash of water had wet the nightgown he was wearing.
With a pale face he stood pecking. This middle-aged woman is trying to tell me what happened. Instantly he remembered his only princess. The more he tepis prejudice about the state of Sulis, the more he remembers. And this makes him even more nervous.
"What happened to you, Sulis ?"
Back Madam Ratih bathed in the heart. After being able to control himself, he rushed to clean up all the scattered glass fragments. Shortly after, he reached for the phone next to the tv. For a moment he hesitated when he realized the time was past midnight. But her concerns as a mother are bigger.
Tuuuttt...
The fear grew even more when the call was not raised. Mrs Ratih is not desperate. He kept trying, because he believed his call was connected. It's just not lifted yet. After a while, he calmed down a little. Because his call was raised, but his forehead shriveled because it was not his son's voice that was heard.
"Hallooo..."
"You... Jhoni ?"
"Ratihiya. Why is it midnight calling. Just bothering you ?!"
"Where is Sulis and why is the phone you're holding ?"
"Your son is serving his sentence, for making a fatal mistake !"
"Error.., lawann. He's your son, mas. Your flesh blood ?!" Madam Ratih could no longer hold back her tears. His voice began to rise and panic. He did not expect that the recent incident was a premonition for him.
"Sulis had been bravely ushered in by a young man. That's very dangerous, Ratih !"
"He's a good young man, mas. He even saved my life !"
"I don't care. If anyone knows this island, it's over. You understand Ratih ?!" Jhoni did not want to lose with his argument. To him what he said was a decision.
"Where is Sulis ? I want to talk to him !"
"He's not here, Trainer."
"What do you mean?, don't tell me you killed him, Jhoni !" Madam Train getting emotional. Tears that kept falling, making him no longer able to control his speech.
"There's nothing you need to worry about, they're fine and I'll release them in time" Jhoni replied in a slightly quiet voice. This man wanted to get information from the Wife. With a little diplomacy, he lowered tensions.
"I won't forgive you, ma'am. If anything happens to our child. And also with Ratna. Don't you hurt them !"
"I promise. Now tell me about the young man. I want to know him !" Jhoni replied while launching his intention. He wanted to find out the man who could survive the pursuit of his men. Even some of his men had to die horribly in the ocean.
Ratih's mother was a little surprised by the question her husband asked. In his mind there began to be anxiety towards the young man who made his son so happy. He paused for a moment before answering.
"The boy is a good young man. He's willing to risk his life to save me."
"Who's the young man's name ?"
"Iwan's name. His stature was firm and good at martial arts. That's all I know."
"That problem I don't know" replied Bu Ratih a little annoyed. Occasionally his hand wiped his wet cheek.
"Did Sulis not introduce her to you ?" Mrs Ratih asked back. Questions that make Jhoni waver. This guy is nervous. Didn't expect to get a piercing question like this. He did not want his wife to know that his men had tried to kill the young man.
"Oo. i. Yesterday the young man went straight home. I didn't get to see him" replied Jhoni nervously over a lie.
"You better leave all that behind, Jhoni. You're not young anymore. It's time to take a break !"
Dheegg....
Like being hit in the chest. This old man was again irritated by his wife's words. If Bu Ratih was in front of him, surely he could witness the change in Jhoni's facial expression.
"Ratih. Before you knew me. You already know my life, including my business. To me, this is not just a matter of money.... !"
"Want.... ?!"
"Satisfaction..., yes..the satisfaction I get exceeds everything ahahaha... !"
"You're crazy, Jhoni !"
"Yes, I'm crazy. Droplets upon drops of the blood of those boys are what drive me crazy. The moans and screams of their pain became opium to me. To keep me locked up in another dimension that you consider cruel, vile, barbaric, cruel and so on. And I enjoy being in that weird dimension. You got it, Ratih...?!" yang Jhoni at length. But there was no voice from the interlocutor.
"Prince....Ratihh... !!"
Jhoni did not realize that the phone connection had been cut. Ratih's mother could not listen to what was said from the man who became her husband. Indeed, since marriage, she already knew her husband's activities that were against the law. Both the positive law of the state and the religious law.
"May you repent, mother."
He said softly, only the do'a that he could sincerely offer. As a wife, she wants to lead a normal married life. Just like any other family. Especially considering the age of those who are no longer young.
From the beginning of marriage, this woman hopes to lead her husband to leave his evil work. But his hope was in vain. Jhoni is not insyaf. He has been going crazy since he escaped from prison in Europe.
Get adequate protection. This man is increasing his illicit products. As a result, more and more teenagers in their teens are becoming victims of kidnapping. The lunge of his men became a frightening specter for the citizens of the capital.

The sound of roaring cries continued to be heard from one of the cells. Ratna tries to calm her unrelenting best friend - she stops crying.
"It's been... Sulist. Don't cry on. Can - can your body actually hurt" said Ratna slowly. The hugging of Sulis' body was curled up on the floor caged by an iron trellis.
"I'm sad. Because - because of my actions, you come - follow locked up here" replied Sulis among his sobs. His hands clenched the two legs tighter. His chin is placed on the knee that is covered by a mere pair of leg material pants.
"I'm fine, Sulis. Now let's think about if the worst is likely to happen."
"Yes. You are right !"
"Now remove your tears" said Ratna again. His hand rubbed his best friend's cheek gently.
"We need to get out of here, Ratna. I'm afraid boss Jhoni is getting mean."
"You're right. I don't want to fate like those kids."
The two fell silent, looking for a way to get out of the cell and leave the terrible island. Ratna grabbed the plate made of zinc. He handed a plate to his friend.
They do not think, the work they should do, is now done by others. Painfully, both are now inside the cell and receive a plate of white rice and wet fish with a small amount of clear vegetables.
"We should eat so as not to get sick" Ratna said.
"Thank you."
Amidst the preoccupation of enjoying a meal, faintly the two heard the sound of a slowly pushed troly. Hard wheels that collide with the floor make a distinctive sound. It is quite disturbing indeed, but not many realize because they are asleep in a dream.
