"If asked, am I comfortable living in this place? The answer is the same when you are sick and told to take medicine (your medicine) for your recovery. Even though it tastes so bitter, you will still drink it, right? That's how I feel now."

_Yesinta Zevanya La Bima_

Herdian had arrived at Red Teak at 11 p.m. After thinking for a long time, he finally chose to come also to that place to bring Zee behind bars after he got evidence of the murder that had been done by his subordinates.

In Red Teak, he meets Geo. "Have you found Zega?"

Geo nodded. "He really changed. He looks like a real killer. He's a psychopath."

"He's admitting? Acknowledging the murders he's committed?" Ask Herdian.

Geo nodded.

Herdian rubbed his hair rough. Geo looked up at Herdian. "But there's more to it than that."

Herdian frowned. "What's that?"

Meanwhile, Zee treats his injuries at the inn. The girl snorted in annoyance. "Damn."

His stomach rang indicating he should refill immediately. The girl came out of the inn to buy food. There's a chicken noodle dealer on the side of the road. A woman was apparently also ordering chicken noodles. Zee stood next to the woman. He also ordered chicken noodles. The woman glanced at Zee. Suddenly his expression turned anxious.

The seller gave the woman chicken noodles. The woman immediately accepted him and gave him the money and hurried away.

"Wait, here's the change," call the seller.

Zee turned to the woman who didn't seem to hear the salesman call her and kept walking away.

On the way, the woman did not stop biting her nails. "Why is he here again?"

Someone touched his shoulder. With a trembling body, the woman turned around. It was Zee who held his shoulder. The woman swallowed the saliva as she looked at Zee's unfriendly expression. Zee threw the chicken noodles in his pocket into the woman's face.

"Aarr!!!" The woman screamed in heat as the hot chicken noodle hit her face.

"I saw you in front of Yesinta's house, when the fire broke out. You're the one who ignited the emotions of the citizens and made them burn down Yesinta's house!"

*** flashback ***

Home from the factory. Both of Zee's eyes widened to see Yesinta's house engulfed by fire. Zee looked at the crowd in front of the house. They brought buckets of water.

Nah! That's not water! That's gasoline!

Those who burned the house of Isaith. Zee encouraged the man who was carrying the gasoline jerrycan.

"What are you guys doing?! Are you guys crazy?!!" Zee yelling.

"That bitch is teasing my husband! He deserves it!" Yes, that woman. Zee stared intently at the woman in front of him. It's not that easy Zee forgets someone's face.

*** end Flashback ***

Zee strangled the neck of the woman in front of him. "Still avoiding?"

The woman shook her head in fear while trying to get Zee's hand off her neck.

"Who told you to?" Ask Zee.

"Surely someone told you to."

"Please don't kill me, I still have a child I have to raise."

Zee tightened his grip. "Don't make that an excuse. I'm gonna drag your son into your funeral."

The woman shook her head. "Don't do that."

"Then tell me who told you to!" Shouted Zee.

Suddenly a bright flashlight shone on Zee's face followed by a shout, "Hey! What are you doing!"

Zee turned his head, it turned out that 2 policemen were there. The girl was surprised.

Shit, I forgot! Security in this village must have been tightened after the many casualties, Zee wrote in his heart.

"Senior Zega? Are you that? B-but what are you doing here? Why did you hurt that woman?" One of the police officers recognized him.

Zee did not answer.

"Please! Helpme! He's gonna kill me!" Shouted the woman who strangled Zee.

---

Zee dragged the two fainted policemen into a corner in a deserted alley. "Ah, I'm sorry kids. This isn't a playground for you guys."

While the woman looked frightened with both hands cuffed. He watched as Zee fought with the two policemen until Zee knocked them unconscious.

Zee looked at the woman. "Now say everything."

The woman kept shaking her head. "I can't, or I'll die."

Zee gave a moment of face then looked back at the woman in front of him with an intimidating look. "You'll die anyway, whether it's in your errand boy's hands or mine."

The woman swallowed the saliva. "That man, that handsome man came to my house and said that my husband had made love to Yesinta. He even showed his photos as evidence. I was angry and I told the people this. It turned out that other residents said the same thing that their husband had been caught having intimate relations with the girl. We also planned to burn the house of Yesinta together...."

"And without proof, you burned down Yesinta's house?!" Cut Zee.

"The photos are proof!" Shake the woman.

"What if it's photoshop?! Why are you so easily fooled by that fucking guy?!" Snap Zee.

"We hated him, from the beginning we didn't like him. She was just like her mother, a beautiful woman who liked to flirt with people's husbands."

Zee slapped the woman's face. "Yes, I agree if you say his mother's a bitch who likes to flirt with people's husbands, but Yesinta doesn't! He's the victim of male abuse who fooled you!"

The woman cried while holding her cheek.

Zee got up while folding both his hands in front of his chest. "Now I want you to do something for me."

The woman looked up at Zee.
