Dewi tried to be patient with Abie in front of him, because he did not know what to do for now. Moreover, that night there was absolutely no one who could help him, even if Abie did it again then he could have lost his life easily.
Dewi tried to invite Abie away from the place, Dewi wanted to enter the settlement of residents around so that she could get help as well as protection. Fortunately Abie did not refuse that, so the two left the place.
The Goddess decided to be piggybacked by Abie, because she was still afraid to piggyback on him like before. Not long after, they both arrived at a house they first met, and Dewi invited to stop at the house.
Tok tok tok tok
"Assynoltom..."
Dewi tried to knock on the door of the big house he met, not long after someone opened the door. It was the house of a Kyai who had been awake since earlier because of performing tahajud prayers, so it was very fast to open the door for the Goddess.
"Waalaikumussalam, what's wrong, Ma'am?" Kyai asked confused.
"Let me stay until sunrise, sir." Said the Goddess with tears.
Kyai was understood by the intent of the Goddess even though it was not explained by the Goddess, especially when looking at the face of the Goddess who was covered in bruises and seeing the face of Abie who looked relaxed. Kyai was immediately invited Dewi and Abie into his house, he also immediately woke his wife to accompany the Goddess.
At that time Dewi also sent a message to Risda silently without the knowledge of Abie, because she was afraid if Abie did anything. Kyai's wife was very kind, and invited Dewi to chat in order to melt the tense atmosphere in that place.
Dewi also made a warm drink, and did not forget himself also told the Goddess to change clothes because the Goddess clothes are dirty full of mud. Dewi also cleaned his clothes and dried them in the washing machine, not to forget he also ironed the clothes to dry quickly.
Abie herself was asleep in the guest room of the house, while Dewi and the woman were in the family room in the house. Not only the Goddess and the woman were there, but also the sisters of Kyai were also accompanying the Goddess.
"What really happened to you?" The question was asked by Kyai's wife because of her curious ranking since earlier.
The goddess was very hesitant to speak to the woman she was facing.
"Don't be afraid, he's asleep by now. We'll protect you if you're in danger" the Kyai also tried to convince the Goddess.
Kyai said that Dewi would be fine in that place, if the man did anything at that place he would not hesitate to report it to the authorities. There is no harm if they want to know the events experienced by the Goddess before, so that themselves immediately tell what happened to them.
They were all instantly shocked by what the Goddess had experienced before, not expecting that the man beside the Goddess wanted to harm the woman. Fortunately, the Goddess was able to survive the incident, so there was no murder experienced by the Goddess.
Those in that place also cried when they saw the Goddess crying while telling stories, this is a heartbreaking incident for the Goddess, and the first time the Goddess experienced such an event today.
"This is why I accept you in this house, Ma'am. I know very well that he is not a good person. He's a fugitive being chased by the police, and he's also married."
The statement immediately came out of Kyai's mouth in front of the Goddess, Dewi herself was immediately shocked to hear the explanation. Dewi did not think that Abie still had a complete family, not only that, he was very surprised to learn that the real identity of him was a begal.
So the story told by Abie is not someone else but himself, who will not hesitate to kill his victims when the goods he wants cannot be taken. Dewi felt that Risda's words were right, Dewi wanted to apologize to her son for not believing her before.
Risda's suspicions are true as it is, so far Risda is protecting himself close from anyone. Risda's choice is always right, if Risda says that she is not a good person then she is indeed not a good person, so she will reject anything and anyone related to her mother.
The Goddess never listened to Risda's words to be close to anyone, because at that time Dewi felt very in love with Abie despite having warned it before. Risda has long reminded herself of Abie, especially Risda does not like Abie because she often comes late at night to her house.
God still wants the Goddess to live so that it still saves the woman from danger, and God himself opens the way to the Goddess to know who the true identity of the man with her is. How surprised the Goddess after knowing the real thing is kept secret by Abie, even she did not expect it at all.
The sun began to rise in the morning that day, the darkness in that place slowly disappeared because it was exposed to the radiance of the sun. Dewi and others are now sitting on the terrace of the mosque next to Kyai's mansion, occasionally they chat about random things.
When the sky had started to change color, Abie suddenly came closer to the Goddess and the others. The Goddess still looks frightened to see Abie with them, even the atmosphere in that place becomes unpleasant for the Goddess.
"Are you sure you're going home?" Ask Kyai's wife who was sitting next to the Goddess from the beginning.
"Sorry to trouble you" Abie said.
"Mak Dewi let me take you home" said the couple's son.
"No need to bother, Mom." Sela Goddess for not wanting to trouble that person.
"We don't feel bothered, Ma'am. Instead we are happy if we can help, we are afraid something will happen in the street."
"No papa, my son is also near here. Who knows, I will be able to meet him later, I can still take care of myself" explained Dewi.
The Goddess recalled Risda's earlier remark, that she had an event not far from the place, because the Goddess herself before that place, was, he has memorized some of the streets that are there so as not to stray in the future.
Dewi lied about Risda who was not far from the place, actually indeed the way to the direction where Risda followed an event, but the place is now located about 30 km from the place of Risda, Risda, it is 80 km away from his home.
The Goddess did not want to trouble the family anymore, and she was also sure that Abie would deliver her home safely this time. Dewi is able to feel so because the weather has started to clear, automatically the streets in that place will look very crowded people who will do their activities especially today is a holiday.
If at any time something happens to him, he is able to shout for help to the surrounding residents. Therefore, Dewi and Abie immediately say goodbye to go home from the place.
*****
Arriving at home, Dewi went straight into his house. It immediately made Beautiful and her husband immediately looked confused. Because because of the many wounds that exist in the body of the Goddess at this time, especially with the glimmer of tears fertilized her eyes.
"Why is this?" Tanya Indah was surprised to see the condition of her mother.
"We had an accident in the middle of the road, fortunately nothing happened," Lies Abie who did not want anyone to know about the previous incident.
As soon as silence ensued in that place, everything felt very awkward without any words coming out of their mouths. Because it felt like the air there was very gripping, no one even felt comfortable in that place.
"It's so, I went out first to eat, because from yesterday had not eaten," Abie said arriving because of the silence in that place.
Usually, the Goddess will answer Abie's words when she wants to say goodbye, but this time she is just silent without even turning to Abie. Seeing the motorbike was about to be brought by Abie, Indah immediately stopped it.
"Let my husband deliver, or you walk" said Indah.
Beautiful felt there was something strange between the two, especially before she had read a message from the Goddess on Risda's cellphone. Lovely felt like something had happened to the Goddess so as to send such a message to Risda, a message that as if she would say goodbye to go very far and would no longer even be able to be found.
"Let him have his bike" said the Goddess who stopped Indah who was stopping Abie.
"But Bun..."
"No papa."
Indah also resigned immediately when Dewi forbade him to stop the departure of Abie. Abie himself immediately said goodbye to go from the house using the new motorbike awarded to Risda, even he would not know when the bike would return to him.
After the departure of Abie, Dewi told Indah and her husband.
*Flash back Off*
"Sorry Mother, Ris. Mommy had wrongly scolded Risda before, and Mommy apologized for not having time to take Risda's favorite pendulum," said Dewi at the end of the story.
Hearing the story, Risda's tears could no longer be dammed, and she was crying so much because of the incident that befell her mother. Even Risda seemed to be clenching her hands tightly, until her palms turned white because there was no blood flowing there.
"I'll never let go of him, Bun!" Risda looked very angry at this moment.
"Already Ris already, Mommy is not papa really. Mother does not want if Risda is in danger because of Mother," Goddess also rose from her sleep and swallowed Risda's body very tightly.
"But he already dared to harm Mother, I can't accept that, Bun. He must be punished!"
"He's a boy, Ris. You can lose to him if you use energy, your strength is nothing to him,"
"But I can defend myself, Bun. I don't care about myself, even dead I'm not afraid!"
The goddess also held her two cheeks and turned her child's face towards her. The goddess tried to wipe away the tears on Risda's face at the moment, the tears that were pouring out profusely without any barrier whatsoever.
"Listen to Mother at this time, Ris. You are the only hope of Mother to survive, if you why why, Mother can not live longer,"
Degs...
The words of the Goddess instantly made Risda freeze, she no longer rebelled like before and just kept silent while staring at the bruised face of her mother at this time.
"Mother knows you can defend yourself, you are the greatest child Mother ever had, Mother believes in the ability of Risda. But, he was not a random person Ris, he was a begal who did not hesitate to finish off his victims." Continue Goddess.
"I'm not going alone, Mother. My coach can definitely protect me, I have to take my right back,"
Risda is still not sincere with the loss of his favorite pendulum, especially he lost his motorbike to go to school. Risda is confused about who to go with, besides herself and Wulan himself the relationship is also not good.
Risda has never been in contact with Wulan since the incident, let alone Wulan who always vilified herself in front of her family and friends. Everyone blamed Risda for Wulan who was good at turning the facts around, and it was as if this was where Risda was at fault.
"For these few weeks, don't go to school or practice, "Stop Goddess.
"But Mother... How can a parent ban their child from school? How can I improve if I don't go to school or practice? What Mother could bear with me," Risda was even more surprised to hear the ban from the Goddess.
"Mother does not want Risda why on the road, he works on the road how if Risda is blocked?"
"No way, Bun. I don't want to quit school,"
"Mother didn't tell Risda to quit school, Mommy just told her to not go to school a few days ahead."
"But Mother..."
"Mother will think of a way how to buy a new motorcycle for Risda, let the bike be taken away by him, as long as our family is fine."
Risda did not want to argue with her mother, she could only stay silent without any more words that could come out of her mouth. Instantly silence ensued in the room, only the sound of sobbing left from Risda's mouth.
