Psychopath Love

I stared at the Malivalaya statue with a stern look. The cement statue looked so neat, unlike what Kris had said, it seemed, Jackie made it with great feeling. However, who would have thought that inside the statue was hidden a corpse.

The body of a girl who had died a few years ago made me feel full.

"It's really an interesting work of art if there are no bodies in it" said Kris.

"I can't figure out why Jackie's going so far.it's as if he doesn't want to part with her,"

"For that matter, you should ask directly to the person concerned," explained Kris, "The question is only one, should Malivalaya's corpse be stored in the cement forever?"

I did not answer but turned my attention to Jackie being interrogated by the investigation. All sorts of feelings raging inside me, I really did not expect Jackie, a friend who I thought was cheerful, liked to help people who were in distress could turn out like this. I would love to ask you why alone.

"I want to know why you're doing this, Jack, when you weren't like this" I asked when I was given the chance to see Jackie.

"Mike..we have long been close friends, if not wrong we have become friends since sitting on the bench Junior High. But even so, I never intended to hurt you. To me, you are my best friend, perhaps the best among those who secretly stab me in the back. You know, about my bleak past, traumatizing me and harboring all the suffering I've accumulated since I was a child" Jackie explained.

Here's Jackie's story from when he was a kid. Either, I should be sad, moved or what.a story he may never tell because he thinks it's not worth telling anyone....

Jackie's parents, too young to have any domestic relationships. When they got married, they were not even 14. This is because his grandparents arguably do not know the school. They want to carry grandchildren so it is forced to marry their children.

Lestari, the mother before marrying the father, is the prima donna of the village. Even though she is only 5 years old, her beauty is already visible. But the young men of the village where Lestari lived, Dua Kayu Batang, had to bite his finger when he saw her married.

Among the many young villagers who fell in love, there was a man who was desperate, kidnapping Lestari to be taken as a wife. The rules of the village of two sticks are strange, a young man if he wants to marry a girl/girl.The young man must kidnap first and then be allowed to marry if the woman agrees with her parents. Especially if a girl who is married but the husband left for 1 year, allowed to remarry, because it is considered the husband has ignored her. So no wonder many married girls are forced to marry again even though the age of marriage is only as long as corn. No wonder, many girls in the village are widows. The child who is not clear who his father is also a lot.

However, if the woman does not agree, then the man should not marry her. Lestari refused to marry Riyadi, the kidnapper. The rejection led to catastrophe, when Lestari was returned to her parents, she had contained Riyadi's seed.

Riyadi, who was rejected by his proposal, suffered a mental breakdown. He forgot who he was, forgot because he had desecrated the sanctity of Lestari. He was mentally retarded, while Lestari was growing and 9 months later a baby boy was born. It's Jackie.

2 years later, Jackie's stepfather Rahmadi comes and hears all the events that have happened to Lestari, his wife. Rahmadi's arrival was warmly welcomed by the villagers, but Rahmadi who had just returned from overseas, was not the old Rahmadi. He no longer wants to touch Lestari, instead he prefers to touch Jackie who has grown into a handsome boy. Jackie always experienced sexual abuse, when he was alone.later Rahmadi's strange behavior was known by the villagers. In the opinion of the masses, *********** is truncated and given to dogs. It happened in front of Jackie's eyes who was peeking out from his hiding place.

The treatment of his stepfather, imprinted in the depths of his heart. The cheerful Jackie becomes a loner and a loner. However, he has a high social spirit. That is why, the villagers of two sticks, love him.

When he was a teenager, he got the title as the best student in his school. He was able to complete all school lessons with caumlaude grades. But, the trauma of the past still haunts him until he grows up and has a big business covering home and abroad. It cannot be counted how many times he went abroad to develop his business.

Meeting with Malivalaya, making it able to eliminate the trauma even though it has not been completely. But that was enough for him to start a new life. So he decided to propose to Malivalaya.

Actually, Jackie does not agree with Malivalaya's work to be a tour gaet. However, in order to make her lover happy, she chose to give up on the note after marriage, Malivalaya resigned. Malivalaya or better known as Monica agreed, when it became a tour gaet -nya Roni and friends, he promised it was the last.

But, fate determines another. what is experienced by Monica makes it out of control. His heart was broken to pieces, especially seeing Melly and Rita just let it happen.

Before Monica died, she told him everything including a spell to kneel back, asking for justice on those who had harmed her. Therefore Jackie stole his body and in various ways tried to prevent the corpse from rotting. Jackie laughed with satisfaction when he heard the news that Roni and the others had died horribly. Stay Melly and Rita, they are the next target after that together with the statue of Monica he will end his life.

Before Jackie left me, she stared intently and coldly at Melly and Rita.

"You are lowly women" she said, "Your misfortune will suffer more than Monica and I have experienced. Pretty soon. Ha..ha.ha.ha.ha..," escorted by two policemen, handcuffed, he stepped out of the place. Meanwhile, Melly and Rita's faces pale to hear Jackie's words.
