"Seriously, Pek? But the needle is real or not?"

"You people don't believe what fear ha?" The old man again glared at Mumu as if he was going to swallow her. "My speech is as pure as diamond gold if you want to know." Diabolically.

"All right then." Mumu took a sitting position across from the old man's front desk.

"Here's his hand, Mister. Let me check first."

The man extended his hand. Mumu immediately felt the veins while closing her eyes.

Five minutes passed, he opened his brightly shining eyes. "There's a problem between your ribs and your sternum, Pek. Why don't you treat me, Pek? This disease was a year ago, right? I think RSUD can handle that disease."

"We people don't like modern medicine that way. We just believe the same traditional medicine has. More efficacious. You really do have the ability. Can treat people. This old me is really sorry."

'If traditional medicine is effective why the disease is not cured'. Mumu muttered in heart. But mumu's lips just said, "No need to apologize, Pek. There's nothing wrong. Not a serious thing. How now? Should I try to treat?"

The man approached and sat down on the chair beside Mumu.

"His back is facing me, Mister!" Pinta Mumu's. After the man complied with Mumu's request, Mumu directly pressed the reflection point of the lower back of the neck.

Soon Mumu moved her finger slightly downwards, pointing towards the upper back point.

Not enough to get there, Mumu also pressed the point of reflection in the upper chest and also in the abdomen and fingers.

Half an hour later Mumu finished her work, "What's it like, Pek?"

The old man named Hou Shi stood up and moved his body. Now he feels no pain at all.

Unsatisfied to get there, he tried to pull and exhale repeatedly. Eyes glowing. A bright smile fell on his lips and said, "Thank you very much for the young man's help. I've really healed. Your medical science is amazing. How much do I have to pay?"

Mumu scrunched her forehead. This was not in agreement at the beginning. This old man would give him an acupuncture needle if he could diagnose and treat the illness that Hou Shi was suffering from. But now he was asking about the cost of treatment, so what about the acupuncture needles?

Looking at Mumu's wry face then chuckled at Hou Shi and said, "Young man you consider me what ha? Do you think I'll break my promise?"

"But you were just about the cost, Pek?" Mumu feels something is wrong.

"That's right Young Man. The acupuncture needle will still be you have property according to our agreement. But I'll also pay for it's got your help Young man." Clearly Hou Shi was fiery.

"The problem of payment need not Apek mention. Already getting acupuncture needles is a blessing for me, Pek." Mumu means it.

Seeing how serious Mumu was finally Hou Shi relented, "Alright. You guys wait here for a minute!" Then he went into the back of the shop.

Shortly after, he arrived with a box.

"This is an inheritance acupuncture needle I have an ancestor with. Hopefully this needle can benefit a lot for others."

He slid the box in front of Mumu. Of course Mumu accepted it with great pleasure.

"With trembling hands Mumu opened it. Then there was a set of silver needles that seemed to glow. This is indeed a genuine needle of the highest quality.

" Thank you so much for the gift, Grandpa." Mumu did not hesitate to receive this precious gift.

Rahma ran frantically along the shophouse lined up behind the fruit market complex. He ran without looking at the direction so trapped here.

This shophouse is usually used as a warehouse for Chinese businessmen so rarely people who pass by here.

Not that Rahma did not want to run towards the big road that many people so there is a possibility to ask for help, but he was not given a chance by the biker gang.

At first Rahma to the market wanted to buy debuk fish and beef.

Later that night his future fiancee with her parents will visit the house so Rahma wants to entertain them.

Unexpectedly three motors kept him pressed to stop. Seeing her clearly Rahma knew they had no good intentions towards her. He then runs his motorbike towards the road A. Yani and turn sharply towards the road of Imam Bonjol.

Unfortunately, his fate, had just entered the road Imam Bonjol one of the motor thugs appeared from the opposite direction. Rahma forcibly turned left and entered the area filled with her frame.

Because the road meanders Rahma parked her bike in the corner then she started running to find a way out.

And here he is now.

Rahma was busy looking for her cellphone to call someone but apparently the phone was left in the motorcycle seat. Rahma panic.

Not yet had Rahma set her breath suddenly a rogue-looking young man appeared in her perspective.

"Ha ha guys here! The prey is hiding here." Rahma is getting to the wall. Body shaking. What else saw the emergence of thugs one by one who saw it like a tiger who wanted to pounce on prey.

"What's my fault? Why do you want to arrest me?" Ask Rahma in a stammer.

"Ha ha ha what's your fault? You're innocent to us beautiful girls. The wrong one is your brother Roni who baj*ngan who has dared to seize my partner." Said the white and handsome man. Although his face was quite handsome but Rahma was very afraid, because there was cruelty from the look of his eyes.

"At first I just wanted to catch you and take you hostage so Roni would surrender and beg us for forgiveness. But looking at your face, we now want to tweet*pi first."

"Ha ha really not friends?" The handsome man laughed out loud followed by his five other comrades.

Then the six of them walked closer and closer to Rahma until she was unable to move anywhere.

The handsome man who was also the leader of the gang stuck out his hand.

"Srekk!!" Rahma's shirt immediately torn in the neck radiating down.

"Ha ha. A man should be gentle with a woman. What more a beautiful woman," Ledek one of the men who wore the blue, tinted t-shirt.

But Ardi the handsome guy didn't bully her. He immediately pulled Rahma roughly.

Rahma tried to fight back as she could. But what is the power of resistance means nothing in the presence of Ardi.

Rahma could only cry and close her eyes while praying in her heart to hope for a miracle to happen.

'How unfortunate my fate is' The whimpering.
