HATRED

HATRED
Goodbye goodbye...


Dani's car driven by Gibran continued to drive in the silence of the night, leaving the city crowd and entering the courtyard of an old abandoned factory building.


Gibran and Sandra took Dani inside the building and sat him in a chair. Gibran turned on the electric light he had brought to light the room, then opened Dani's face-covering cloth.


"I'll sue you for that..."


"BRAKKKK...!" sandra breaks down the table in front of Dani, which makes Dani flinch. "Say, where did you tell Citra to go!" sandra shouted, which made Dani growl.


"I told you, I didn't tell her to go anywhere."


Sandra raised her hand to hit Dani. Gibran deftly caught the hand then shook his head at Sandra.


Sandra moved away from Dani and sat on a bench in the corner of the room, trying to control her unstable emotions.



A moment later he said quietly as if muttering. "She was very young, surviving only with an old grandmother since her parents left her. The boy who may never have been happy all his life and now has to die like this, is unfortunate."


Dani looked down at Sandra.


"The only thing we can do is to give her justice, so she can live in the quiet of nature. And for that." Sandra got up from her seat and approached Dani, "to give her justice, I will never stop. Any way I'll do it."


Sandra looked at Gibran and nodded. "Tomorrow we'll come back again, so tonight reflect on everything."


Gibran and Sandra intended to leave Dani in the room before Dani suddenly said, "Adam called me."


Sandra rushed over to Dani. "Who's Adam?"


"He was one of Mr. Agung Laksono's employees" replied Dani.


"Laksono's Lions?" ask Gibran. "What you mean is not Agung Laksono the big businessman, right?"


"Yes, that's Agung Laksono" Dani said.


"Adam said they were hosting important people, so Adam asked me to send one of the young and attractive female employees to the residence of Mr. Agung to help them. Then I asked them if they also needed food, Adam said no, they already had a personal chef."


"And you sent Citra there?" ask Sandra.


"Yes." Yeah."


"I was surprised" said Sandra. "When he just asked the employee who went there without ordering food isn't that suspicious?"


"Me and Adam have known for a long time and they often use our services if there is an event. So I don't feel suspicious" Dani explained.


"Then did you get to contact Adam after this incident?"


"Yes. After Ms. Sandra came that time, I contacted her immediately. He said that time the show was over and Citra had come home from the afternoon. He asked me not to mention them for Citra's death because it had nothing to do with them.


Nearly half an hour Sandra and Gibran sniffed information from Dani. And after feeling there was nothing more to ask, they left the building and returned to where it was before.


"If they call you, tell me" Sandra said before Dani left. Dani nodded and left Sandra and Gibran.


"Do you know?" gibran said, "if Agung Laksono ever stumbled on a sexual harassment case a few years ago."


"Yes, I've heard of it," answered Sandra. "But didn't the victim prove to be lying and instead became a suspect for defamation?"


Gibran smiled then said, "Because he has a great lawyer, who can make the wrong into right and right into wrong."


"You mean, he's guilty of the case."


Gibran nodded and looked at Sandra. "If he is behind all this, you must have very strong evidence before arresting him. Otherwise, it'll backfire on you."

Vin walks towards his school cafeteria while occasionally looking at the surroundings. He's been looking for Jessie for a week, but there's no sign of her.


"Buk, fried rice one," Vin said.


Before long a mother gave Vin an order. Vin took her to a table.


"PLAQUE!" A punch landed on Vin's head accompanied by a giggle. Without even looking, Vin knew it was the actions of Hendi and his friends.


Soon Hendi and his friends sit down to join Vin.


“Where is your friend? He hasn't been in school for a long time.” Ask Hendi.


Vin knew rightly what Hendi meant was Jessie. So all this time Hendi didn't bother him because he thought Vin was friends with Jessie. And when Jessie doesn't go to school, Hendi bothers her again.


Without caring for Hendi and his friends, Vin continues his meal. But suddenly Hendi spit on his plate. Vin kept his anger in check.


A man who had seen Hendi's behavior walked up to him and rebuked him, “Stop bothering him.”


Hendi and his friends turned to the origin of the voice and found Gilang standing there. “Hey Gilang, don't be pretentious to be your hero and get out of here.”


“I will complain to the principal if you continue to disturb him,” Gilang replied.


“Baseless coward, dare to complain,” Said hendi.


“People who are more cowardly are people who like to mess with,” refute Gilang.


“Ok, if you want one on one, I will serve.” Hendi stood up and approached Gilang.


“Wire,” Inner Cross. “Where can he beat Hendi's body that big.”


Hendi whispered in Gilang's ear, “After school, I wait for you behind school." Hendi left Gilang after once again hitting Vin on the head.


“Maybe we have to complain to the principal,” said Gilang sitting in front of Vin.


“Why don't you just fight him?” said Vin.


“Hey come on, her body is that big, I won't be able to beat her.”


“Then, maybe you need to call your friend that, your super friend that even..” Vin snickered and did not continue his words. He almost slipped to talk about Arya, a super friend who was not even hurt after being hit by such a large iron.


“Which super friend?” tanya Gilang looked at Vin sharply.


Vin looked confused. “I mean your friend at the time, whose body was big. He can definitely beat Hendi right, so I said he's super.”


Gilang laughed at Vin's words that were like people were rumbling. “You mean Arya?”


“Oh yes Arya.”


“I can't ask for his help for a business like this.”


“What's the reason?” ask Vin.


“Because it was banned," said Gilang.


“Who forbids?”


“Person..” Gilang snorted, almost saying Saints.


“Who forbids?“ ask Vin again.


“People in his house, especially his father. His father would be angry if he found out he was fighting.”


Vin looked at Gilang, he knew it was true that that was not what Gilang wanted to say just now.


“It looks like I was forced to fight Hendi alone, after all I am a man,” said Gilang smiling.


After school, Hendi was waiting for Gilang behind the school. Not how long Gilang came.


“Bernyali is also you,” said Hendi.


“Do not talk much, go ahead,” said Gilang.


Hendi was angry to see the arrogance of Gilang and immediately attacked him. It turned out Gilang was quite nimble and many times avoided Hendi's punch.


Vin continues to watch the incident from the roof of his school building hoping Gilang will use his strength to beat Hendi.



“BUK!” Gilang managed to hit Hendi's stomach. But his punch was not strong enough to be able to topple Hendi's body.


“BUAK!” Hendi hit back. The blow that made Gilang immediately fell. Gilang rushed to his feet before Hendi launched a second attack. But late, Hendi's fist came back to his face and he fell back down.


“BAK BUK TUB!” Gilang can only resignedly take a blow from Hendi who blindly.


“HA HA HA HA HA!" Hendi laughed out loud in front of Gilang who was already helpless.


Vin was really furious at the sight, not only furious to see Hendi who beat Gilang all out, but also furious to see the stupidity of Gilang. He couldn't take it anymore either.


“It's enough,” murmured.


Instantly a stone floated and landed right on Hendi's head. A very loud shout came out from Hendi's mouth drenched with blood pouring from his head.


“Goodbye... Hendi,” Vin smiled.
