The Faraway Retaliation Plan


The PRINCESS noticed her brother's drastic changes since Patra was admitted to their home. Whenever he wanted to bring food or drink, Zian always tried to snatch it from the hands of the Princess.


Like this morning, the Princess had just made some porridge and wanted to take him to the room where Patra was being treated, Zian immediately confronted him at the dining table.


“Let me alone,” snatch Zian who waited since earlier so as not to be preceded by his sister.


“Be careful is still hot,” replied the Princess reminded as she followed her brother from behind.


The princess only giggled to see her brother awkwardly feeding the porridge into Patra's mouth.


“Blown first, Brother. Still hot the porridge. Poor Patra!” said the Princess wanted to snatch the bowl of porridge. But Zian did not give it.


Meanwhile, Jauhari and Wijan are seen gathering in the living room. They are talking about something.


"At least, our family became familiar because of the calamity last night" Gafuri said, trying to comfort himself.


Wijan nodded his head slowly. His eyes were fixed on the ring and necklace worn by Jauhari's wife. In his heart, Wijan promised to replace his beloved property.


“Please drink,” says wife Jauhari disperse daydreams Wijan. He noticed once again the ring that was coiled on the ring finger of Jauhari's wife, he was glad Jauhari did not lie to him as before.


"O, yeah, Mommy. Happy birthday to you. Sorry to say too late," Wijan tried to melt the atmosphere by congratulating Jauhari's wife.


"Yes, Mother. Hopefully long life and more dear husband," Wijan's wife added.


Jauhari's wife seemed confused to get congratulations from them. She immediately covered it with a smile while looking at her husband's face, as if to ask for an explanation of the meaning of the congratulations.


Jauhari quickly stepped on his wife's sole as a gesture. After that Jauhari immediately turned her attention by talking about Patra.


"If possible, let Patra stay here first in a few days, until the pain recovers. I'll ask Sabran to pick up the doctor so he can check on Patra" Jauhari said.


Wijan's wife's knee movement was clearly visible when it was deliberately bumped into her husband's knee. Wijan understood the intention of his wife's attitude to respond to Jauhari's request.


“Patra the sableng boy. I'm afraid it will only trouble you,” replied Wijan looking at the room where his son was still lying sick. He saw Zian and the Princess still in there accompanying his son.


Many times Jauhari explained but it seems Wijan still wants to bring Patra home. Jauhari then decided to call Zian and Princess to join them.


"Now, they were already familiar with each other," Jauhari shifted her seat, giving space to her two children.


"They'll help Patra learn as long as she doesn't go to school. Patra has to pass the exam later! It's for Patra's future" Jauhari persuaded.


Wijan turned to ask his wife for her opinion. They had thought from the beginning that Jauhari would not let Patra go home.


Knowing his wife was silent, Wijan then nudged his wife's arm. He did not want to go home instead got a scolding because it did not succeed in bringing Patra home.


“This is for Patra's sake. I will also ask Sawitri, to come every day to teach Patra,” persuaded Jauhari to see Wijan's wife has not yet made a decision.


"Mmm... Is it not troublesome if we come to Patra here every day?" ask Wijan's wife.


“We are even happy if you are willing to come here every day,” said Jauhari.


“I feel bad. We have just been equally affected, certainly a lot to be taken care of. If Patra is here, it definitely adds to the burden,” said Wijan's wife without using her husband's intermediary again.


Laugh as usual. He looked like he had no burden at all even though his clove field had just caught fire.


"If it has to be with this kind of disaster can strengthen our family, I do not care if I have to experience it many times," said Jauhari reassured Wijan and his wife.


"They both know the story of our past" Jauhari pointed to Zian and the Princess. "I think it's the right time for us to open up to each other. For me, friendship, family and education number one.”


Wijan was silent for a while. “Lantas how about Yudha?” search Wijan want to know the actions that will be done Jauhari after the incident last night.


“Before...” Jauhari then asked Zian and Putri to get ready for school. Jauhari's wife understood, she went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast.


At that time Wijan's wife followed from behind to wake Patra's sister who was still sleeping soundly in the Princess' room.


“What do you think I should do? Jauhari asked when she met Wijan again. “Don't ask me for revenge. I didn't think about it at all,”.


“Lah. Your clove field is burning. I am sure that Yudha is celebrating her victory. Soon many citizens will be hanging with him.”


“This is not a matter of winning and losing,” said Jauhari.


“I think you're just stalling. But there's nothing you can fix. Yudha had planned it since the beginning.”


“This is all my fault. If only it had been..”


“Now is not the time to blame yourself. You've helped others a lot. It is time we banish Yudha together from this place.”


 “Yudha will definitely not stay silent!”


“Don't think about that. As long as Yudha is still here, until whenever the citizens will not be able to feel calm,” urged Wijan fiery.


“There will be too many casualties if you fight Yudha. There should be other options without having to be with hardness.”


Wijan was disappointed to learn that Jauhari still remained with his stance. “I became a transmigrant not to get a life like this. After struggling desperately, others are enjoying the results.”


“Actually Mat Yusi has long wanted to do as you suggested. Right now he must be happy to hear it.”


“So what else should you wait for? I could have brought some people to make calculations with Yudha, but the results would have been better if you had done it. All citizens trust you, just invite them to gather here and plan something.”


“I'm not sure..”.


“Already, let me just meet Mat Yusi and invite people to gather here right now!”


“Mmm, okay. But not now. Just tonight. There's some work I need to finish first. Make sure Mat Yusi comes tonight.”


Meanwhile, from behind the room, Patra kept eavesdropping on the conversation of the two of them. It feels like he wants to heal quickly and meet Mat Yusi.


It was still time for him to learn some moves. The feud between Jauhari and Yudha seems to be ending in a battle of strength and energy. Patra doesn't want to miss any of that. He will avenge his two defeats.
