Loving the Mafia
Begging for Forgiveness

"Mas, what are you doing? You could kill Dalsa. Istighfar!" Sarah held Jacob's body.

Hearing this, Jacob breathed. Rubbing a rough face. Bersighfar. He looked at the battered Dalsa. Limply. Floundering on the floor. The body was peeking with the head slightly raised. Blood came out from the corner of his lips.

"Sarah's sister, please. Help me!" Dalsa crying.

Sarah mute. Just a glance at Jacob without responding to Dalsa's words.

"Dalsa was the mastermind behind Rajani's murder, her twin Revalina. How could he laugh without getting any punishment from us while he did not regret his actions. Dalsa had four men rape Revalina, but the target was wrong and Rajani was the victim until he died. It's crazy!" Jacob frustrated. "I've been quiet all this time because I gave Dalsa a chance to repent, regret her actions. Every human being is given the opportunity to repent. But hearing from Rival that this cunning guy hasn't changed at all, I wanted to chop him up."

Dalsa was still roaring. Crying keker. Either crying because of sadness, or crying because of physical pain battered.

"Mom, please help me. I was cast out by Mas Rival, here too Mas Jacob beat me up. Help me." Help me." Dalsa pleads .

Sarah looked on pity, but her heart was bitter as well. Dalsa's actions cannot be justified, nor can they be forgiven.

"I can't do anything Dalsa. You are wrong, so you have to take risks for your actions. Be prepared to face risks, including if you have to account for them before the law." Sarah spoke flatly.

"Please, Ma'am. Don't let me go to jail. I'm scared." Dalsa was crying bitterly.

"All actions have consequences. Don't dodge. Face and live, that's your risk. You've made a big mistake." Sarah resigned. It's impossible to defend Dalsa. Dalsa's deeds have been outrageous, concerning lives.

"Let Revalina decide, or Mama Revalina, whether or not they'll take the case to the law." Jacob felt great.

"But if Chesy takes the matter to the legal track, it's not impossible that Mama Candini will report the Rival persecution case to the legal track as well. Revalina will be entangled in trouble too. So it's better not to get anyone caught up in legal trouble in this case." Sarah mediates.

"Dalsa should get punished. And as for Revalina, the victim was her own husband. Rival would definitely not be willing to report Revalina to the legal track. If Candini insisted on reporting, Rival would speak up. He will definitely side with Revalina. He as a victim defended the perpetrator. I'll make sure it happens. Now, tell this girl to leave. Leave this house." Jacob was sick of staring at Dalsa.

"Mas, I beg you. Don't throw me out. If I get kicked out of here too, where do I live? I need you, Mas." Dalsa pleaded as she continued to roar in tears.

"I apologize to Aunt Chesy, Rafa and Revalina. Even if they forgive, it does not mean that the law does not work. I hope the law continues to be processed."

"Everyone is wrong, everyone is also given the opportunity to improve, right? Let me fix this."

"Go to Revalina's family, please, apologize and beg them so that there is no legal path even though I will ask them to process this into legal channels considering your case must be taken seriously so that you know the deterrent effect. Don't be arrogant and proud." Jacob clutched Dalsa's arm and yanked her firmly, pulling her until Dalsa's body was drawn to her feet.

Dalsa can't talk anymore. He could only cry and let go as Jacob dragged him into Jacob's car. Hoping to get help when he came to Jacob's house, but even a new disaster that he got.

Sarah hurriedly locked the door and followed Jacob. She had to go with Jacob, fearing that her husband would be caliph and do something dangerous to Dalsa, causing new problems.

Sarah got into her husband's car, sitting in the back seat.

Jacob sat at the wheel, side by side with the weeping Dalsa, hugging his two arms, which were bitter and bruised. He didn't know where his pride and taste had gone all this time. He shows up every time he faces everyone.

Now that attitude is lost when dealing with his own family. The situation was different when he was faced with people of the same age out there, whose guts and arrogance instantly expanded. Facing a family is like facing an angel. Dead lice.

The car drove fast until it finally reached the luxurious Chesy milk house. White-colored house that offers a peaceful impression.

Just like earlier, Jacob dragged Dalsa out of the car with a firm grip. His steps were wide until Dalsa was flung to follow him. Occasionally tripped and almost fell, fortunately he was still able to walk perfectly.

"Chesy!" Jacob went straight into the house, forgetting to say hello. Emotions have mastered. After all the house was already considered as his own home considering Chesy was part of his family now.

Sarah followed. Prepare to be a shield when Jacob's condition is not controlled.

Chesy out. Down the stairs. His forehead was clinging to Dalsa's battered appearance, crying, and grimacing in pain. His face was bruised, the corners of his lips were bleeding, his lips were slightly broken. Hair's messy.

"What's this, Jacob?" Chesy's confused.

"Dalsa will apologize to you. He had to beg for forgiveness for his animal-like guilt. He was behind Rajani's death. He had four men rape Rajani. And he must get the punishment he deserves for his savagery." Jacob pointed at Dalsa.

The designated one could only remain silent without saying a word. Lips trembling.

"Dalsa, quickly apologize. When you need to be calm. Since yesterday you've been caught as a perpetrator, but in the slightest there's no good intention of you apologizing. You look like an innocent human being." Jacob rebuked loudly.

Dalsa stepped forward. Approaching Chesy. "Tante, I'm sorry. I beg for mercy. Forgive me, Aunt." Dalsa was crying.

"Chesy, you can report Dalsa to the legal track. Please do. I don't mind even if he's my brother. Lives should be repaid with life. But it's up to you" said Jacob growled.

Chesy looks calm. Even he leisurely said, "I've already explained all this. I consider Rajani's death part of destiny. I leave everything to God. Let the judgment of God judge. Let it."

"You can talk like that, but what happens when Dalsa doesn't even repent of her actions? He hasn't even come to you and apologized all this time. He's always been hostile to Revalina. This is not regret for Dalsa. He instead goes on a new craze that results in psychic trauma for Revalina after losing her twin."

"Jacob, I'm saddened by this. Dalsa is clearly seen as a criminal and sadistic human being. But I felt I just needed to take it and consider it part of destiny. Nothing can happen except by the will of God. Then this incident must also be on the will of God. I fear the family relationship between Revalina and Candini deteriorated after Dalsa was reported. Revalina is my treasure right now. I will lose treasure a second time if I make things worse. Revalina's mental safety is at stake. Let God punish Dalsa in God's way. Trust God's court is far greater." Chesy looked tired of all this. Losing Rajani alone is frustrating. Don't add to the new problem.

"No, Umi. If keeping Dalsa locked behind bars is a legal move, then let me report Dalsa."

The voice made a direct look at the source.

Rafa walked into the house. His steps were firm just like his expression which was also firmly full of meaning. I don't know when he's been listening to that conversation behind the door.

"I leave this matter to you. You have the right to decide this matter. You deserve justice." Sarah said softly. He approaches Chesy and embraces the shoulders of friends who are now part of his family.

Replied with a gentle swab by Chesy's palm.

"You have to be strong, you have to be able to go through this. If you are not strong and tired of sending this case, let Rafa, or Revalina, move." Sarah stared intensely at Sarah.

"Umi, I'll take this case to the green table, and whatever the risk of reporting this, it'll be my business. I'll protect Revalina, my sister. I don't want to let this matter pass you by while Dalsa doesn't get punished. Let him rot in jail." Rafa stared pushyly.

Fear began to appear on Dalsa's face. The shadow of the prison cloud blocked his mind. Then, Dalsa squandered and rested in front of Rafa's feet. He hugged Rafa's legs tightly while crying bitterly. "Please don't imprison me, Rafa. Please forgive me. I don't want to go to jail. I'll do anything, as long as you don't go to jail. I swear, I want to do anything. If you want to whip me, do it. But don't imprison me."

"Keep crying and begging my lad, I won't change my mind. Your psychopathic soul needs a flush of punishment to deter." Rafa's upset. "Where have you been all this time? Why beg for mercy now? Since yesterday you have been waiting to come begging like this, but do nothing. Instead you take a chance when your mama defends you. Threatened to imprison Revalina too if you were reported to the police. If Revalina is reported, then I will be the shield to protect her. Rival may close his eyes in this case because he thinks Revalina has made him disabled, but I will open his eyes, that Revalina is wrong target. Rival should know this."

"I beg your pardon, Rafa. I'm mohn for mercy. I'm sorry. Please forgive me."

"Yes, I'll forgive you after taking you to jail. Come on, come with me!" Rafa pulled on Dalsa's arm until the body lifted and stood up.

"Don't! Don't take me to jail. I don't want to!" Dalsa was crying hysterically. Imagining how bad and scary prison alone made him shudder. How will his fate be when confined there along with foreigners who bully and beat him later? How will he spend years in prison? Her desire to have a husband and spend the rest of her life with her husband like lee min hoo will be dashed, instead ending up in a terrifying prison. His future is really bleak.

Seeing Dalsa frightened, Rafa became even happier. This killer must receive a severe punishment. Rafa draws the powerful Dalsa, Dalsa continues to rebel and plead. When she was pulled into the courtyard, Dalsa grew frightened, and all the bad shadows about the prison plagued her mind.

Then violently, Dalsa kicks Rafa's leg and bites Rafa's hand that grips him. The grip of the hand was suddenly released. Dalsa ran away. Running fast leaving Rafa, passing through the gate as fast as lightning.

"Hey, don't run!" Rafa is upset, chasing after Dalsa. But his legs were sore, leaving him no chance to catch up. Lopsided run.

Jacob ran out when he heard the noise.

"Dalsa escaped!" rafa's words shocked Jacob.

"Let me chase by car." Jacob gets into the car, chasing Dalsa. Unfortunately, he lost track of his way, not knowing where Dalsa was running. There are a lot of alleys around there. Either Dalsa goes through which alley. His nose is invisible.

***

That night Revalina could do nothing in her heart just fear and fear, when Rival asked to go back to the room she just obeyed him to take him to the room without a word.

Arriving at the room, Revalina painstakingly massaged Rival's legs with a special oil. At that moment suddenly Rival returned to discuss about Dalsa, at that time he felt that Rival had not spilled all his anger.

"I could have cheated, I regretted why I didn't protect him so hard" Rival said, shaking his head.

Revalina was still silent, focusing on massaging Rival's legs very carefully.

"Oh yeah, I haven't asked you yet. You and Dalsa in the video discussed tattoos, what do I have?" ask Rival to be confused.

Seeing Rival confused, Revalina also contracted his confusion. How could someone who had a tattoo on his body ask someone else.

"Well, on your back is a tattoo of Mas," replied Revalina still with her bewildered look.

"I don't feel like getting a tattoo" Rival said, frowning.

"If you don't believe me, here I take a picture of your back," said Revalina, reaching for her phone lying on the bed.

Rival was willing to work together, turning his back. Revalina quickly captured the image, showing clearly the tattoo on Rival's back.

After successfully taking a picture of Rival's back, Revalina immediately gave her phone to Rival.

When Rival's eyes fell out of his two eyelids, he was shocked by what he saw.

"Now, look there's a tattoo on your back I'm not making it up. With a back like this obviously I think you are the culprit," said Revalina began to explain a little to Rival.

"Rev's Oath, by God I never tattooed my body" Rival said.

"Try to remember again, cook you forgot ever back tattoo," Revalina pinta for Rival re-remember.

But Rival immediately shook his head while looking at the photo of the back on Revalina's phone, looking helplessly leaned against the pile of pillows.

"I swear by nothing I never did, but when it comes to tattooing ever," said Rival began to remember something.

Hearing that suddenly the feeling of Revalina so bad, he felt that there was something strange there even though Rival had not continued the story. Now he began to raise his attention, listening carefully Rival's follow-up story at the tattoo spot.

"Keep continuing?" tanya Revalina was curious.

"At first I was invited by Akram, he asked me to take him there and I just drove him to the front but suddenly he persuaded me to go inside on the grounds that look around there was no intention of getting a body tattoo. At that time I was just waiting in the waiting room, not long Akram came to bring food out that I forgot the point I had slept there," explained Rival told me everything he remembered about tattoos.

"And you ate that food?" tanya Revalina tried to make sure.

"Yes, I ate," Rival replied without a doubt.

Instantly Revalina immediately breathed out her heavy breath, now she knew why there could be a tattoo on Rival's back.

"This is Akram, he who tried to fight our sheep Mas. He was the real culprit but from the beginning he was very lustful to finish you off" said Revalina with tears.

Seeing the tears Rival immediately rubbed it gently, then the longer the more swift. Rival finally pulled Revalina's body in his arms.

"I'm sorry Mas, I didn't find out first" said Revalina sobbing.

"No papa, I know your position Reva. It's not easy so you already know the tattoo is on my back," said Rival with a shady voice to calm the heart.

"But I've made you disabled" said Revalina again sobbing.

"It's my destiny Reva, God willing if I am destined to be able to return the way I can certainly walk again" said Rival.

Hearing Rival's words that continued to calm down and did not blame him for the incident actually made Revalina's cries more swift, the sense of regret was getting bigger every time the gentle strokes of Rival's hand on his fist.

Still, Revalina remained grieved by the circumstances that befell Rival. Although it was not his hands that hit Rival's feet but he was there to be part of the person who tortured him.

"I'm sorry" Revalina said repeatedly.

"I've forgiven you" said Rival softly, with a stroke of his hand on Revalina's straight hair. His gaze was shady, his voice was soothing.

That sentence that he had been waiting for a long time, unexpectedly finally came out also from Rival's mouth. If asked when the happiest day of his life was firmly he said "today." His eyes were about to cry. The remaining novelty. The mood suddenly moved. Teak Revalina was wet.

That night Revalina and Rival talked about many things, including discussing Dalsa which became the main topic tonight.

"Dalsa is temprament. Just because I fought him when my car was hit by him, he immediately made me an enemy" said Revalina. "Even he hates me until he finally plans something despicable for me, and Rajani becomes the victim."

"I made sure Dalsa would get a reply after being kicked out of the house. I don't know what's going to happen out there." Rival furious.

"But I'm feeling a little pity now. After you took my side, even after the people who loved me supported me, I resigned to Tuban. I want God to punish him. He doesn't regret what he did."

"I should have known from the beginning. Dalsa must accept punishment."

"It has. About Dalsa, you have taught me a lesson. God will surely give the punishment, God is fair. And one more, Akram. There are many crimes he has committed at once. Raping Rajani, causing Rajani's death, lying to me by hiding himself as the perpetrator, even slandering you, and intending to eliminate you." Revalina sighed sadly.

"There is no need for you to dirty your hands by injuring or even harboring Akram. Let Akram serve his sentence in prison. We report him."

Revalina held Rival's hand. "I'm sorry, because I was part of the cause of your distress. I was consumed by the circumstances, I was instigated by Akram. I really wanted to beat up Akram and break everything that belonged to him." Revalina stared blankly ahead with a furious look. It was as if he was staring at Akram in front of him.

"It has. Don't take revenge and take it out by dirtying your hands, it'll make you a criminal."

Revalina. Touched. Rival now sided with him, even supporting him.

For Revalina, Rival's attitude was the attitude she was waiting for, a firm attitude as part of the family is different from Candini's attitude that made her upset instead of playing. He was so pampering Dalsa, loving Dalsa excessively that there was no mistake in the youngest child.

But as a wife Revalina tried to see from the perspective of Rival also who certainly felt heavy hearted if you had to punish your own sister.

"Mas, it's night. Don't you want to call Dalsa?" revalina asked softly afraid, afraid that Rival would be blasphemous to judge her sister.

Instantly Rival's forehead shriveled sharply, circulating his eyes to and fro.

"Why should I call Dalsa?" rival asked back, not understanding Revalina's question.

"Did you forget he was your brother, look it's midnight like you drove him to where he was. It's only natural that Mama was so angry," Revalina told Rival.

But instead of receiving Revalina's reprimand, Rival was actually mocked with the circulation of his eyeballs that turned a sharp dive.

"Tumben you said this isn't it that you don't like Dalsa?" tanya Rival put on a soft face.

"Yes I'm upset with Dalsa, but I'm not like this because of Dalsa's equal attention but with you Mas" replied Revalina smilingly looking at Rival.

As soon as that smile rubbed off on Rival, he also joined in smiling indistinctly.

"What the hell is why so I, do not connect at all," said Rival lirih held back his laughter.

"So Mas, I know how a brother feels seeing another brother slumped how. I know you love Dalsa so much so I don't expect more, it's all a normal feeling between brothers. Moreover, Mama, it's just not right if you still justify Dalsa let alone continue to blame the late Rajani," said Revalina at length.

Both Revalina and Rival eyes are interlocked, long time cornea Rival eyes do not move though. Maybe this is what is called a glued gaze.

"I also know what it's like to be a brother to see another brother killed in such a sadistic way" Rival said, mimicking Revalina's remarks.

"Hm, why imitate my words" muttered Revalina.

"Hihihi," Rival chuckled at the look on the dejected face of a Revalina.

"Reva, honestly I salute you. That's how much you love Rajani, but the unfortunate thing is only one. Why do you become this kind of loyalty, we stand in a country of law you should leave everything to the law in this country," said Rival ended up reprimanding Revalina with a soft tone as possible.

Hearing Rival's reprimand immediately made Revalina again bowed in shame, she was ashamed of her husband as well as to God who always witnessed stupidity for the stupidity he did in this world.

"I'm sorry Mas" said Revalina's thousandth apology.

"I've been bored for a long time with that sentence" said Rival as he rubbed his head gently.

After much discussion with Rival, finally the eyes of Revalina's heart open to know the vast world with various thoughts that accompany. Married to an older man was not as bad as he imagined, not even a week he had felt his life directed if with him. 

"Know not Mas, I was also sinning with God," said Revalina began to complain to Rival.

"Why sin?" ask Rival to be confused.

"Actually from far away the Lord has signaled love by showing that you are a good person, as I try my best for me but I can still consider you as part of the perpetrator," revalina told me of yesterday's stupidity.

Rival only smiled at Revalina's face, a few seconds only silent and before long his mouth opened again.

"That's if anything to hear the word friends, from the beginning I've not liked you to be friends with him. Because every one is the same you are always rude and difficult to set apart if you have escaped from the shadows he you made a great woman, ethical and have a heart," sahut Rival brought up some moments where Revalina often went berserk even when he invited her to eat on the side of the road yesterday.

Although he did not explain in detail but Revalina knew the direction of Rival's conversation, he was smiling indicating if he understood which incident Rival meant.

Revalina also begged to understand Rival's intentions, she was embarrassed to remember all that. Remembering it again was like seeing someone different from him now.

"Yes yes, at that time I could have been angry because you did not invite me to eat at the restaurant, where I asked to change the ring again really did not know myself" said Revalina told herself.

"The truth is, you were raised by a family capable of continuing suddenly the same way I ate on the side of the road was obviously depressed," said Rival continued to assume everything that Revalina did was normal.

Hearing that Revalina immediately shook her head quickly, disagreeing with Rival's authenticity from beginning to end.

"Alhamdulillah is able to do it but instead of never eating on the side of the road, that time will indeed be more pretentious just do not want when it runs out chicken Ki," clearly Revalina clarified that to the Rivals so as not to make him inferior and the like.

That night after Dalsa was kicked out of the house, there were no more voices of Candini screaming for equality like that. Revalina Rival is now starting to lay down her body considering the late night.

They lay with bodies facing each other, again the net back to face they really like a real newlywed than yesterday who even sleep with the position of the back to each other.

Recalina felt like a fool in the world, remembering her who repeatedly shouted when she wanted to change clothes in the room to make Rival change his clothes in Jacob's room.

Not only that he was reminded of his main folly was to let Akram master his mind, washing with his evidence so planned by him.

"It could have been on our first night at the hotel, I was in the bathroom long enough so I was tired of continuing to sleep," said Revalina suddenly flashback to the past.

"Oh we did not become that time because you went to the toilet for a long time" said Rival, nodding his head.
