"Where are you going?" The owner of the car who was a middle-aged woman asked.
"In front of my downtide Ma'am."
"Oh yes. After the pilgrimage?"
"Yes, Mom." Answer Ara briefly. Feeling no need to talk much.
Not long after, Ara came down. He immediately ran towards the alley avoiding the outskirts of the highway. He does not want to be found by anyone. His heart ached and was angry at them all. He continued walking without purpose. I don't know where he's going. While he holds no money.
As soon as Dhira saw Ara running away from the burial area, he immediately sent Rendra a message. Tell him to follow and take care of Ara. He believes Rendra is still around the cemetery area. Because he had just seen him standing not far from where Jhon was standing.
Ara just kept walking down the path that she herself did not know which way. As the rain grew heavier, it washed over his body.
"Hiks..hikss..why would Papi be like me? Brother Jhon is too! You're all playing me!" Her crying is so strong. But not too audible because of the sound of heavy rain.
"She said my mother had died since I was born! But what is this? that woman is my mother? Really a surprise!" He shouted while rubbing his face that flooded the rain and Ari eyes.
"They lied to me! Wh why? And for two weeks I was kidnapped! The culprit was my own best friend whom I considered a brother! How pathetic!!" Shouts again.
The pain and resentment in his piled up heart were unsaid. Crying while shouting is one way to lighten his heart at this time.
"Yahoo!!!! Robert!!!! John!!!! you are fraudsters! You guys have been cheating on me all this time!"
He screamed as hard as he could.
"If you adopt me, can't you tell me that I'm the blood of Rudy and Meli."
He kept shouting furiously. On Robert, on Jhon, on Dhira also on Rudy.
Feeling tired, he stopped and rubbed his face again. Get rid of the rain that still hit his face. Not also dry by using his palms, in the rubbing of his eyes with his arms in order to see clearly.
"Hi brother, where are you going?"
Ara raised her head to see who greeted her. Just a quick look and then lowered his head. His feet stepped again.
"It's raining. Look at your hair and your clothes getting wet. Come with me brother yuk!"
Ara remained silent. His feet stepped faster trying to stay away from the familiar man.
"Hey.don't run. You could fall. Many stones, ntar you tripped." The man pulled Ara's wrist.
"Akhs...! Leasin!!!" Shouted Ara. He's starting to get scared. Moreover, the man continued to pull her with sinister eyes. He's as strong as he can be. But what is it. His extremely light and powerless body due to being extremely hungry could not at all fight against the man's hand.
"Don't scream! Or I'll bun*h you right now!" The man whispered a word that made Ara's entire body tremble. Moreover, the man's breath smelled of alcohol. The man began to graze his hands into an even smaller alley. The narrow road is getting smaller. There are many houses but it looks on the lid probably because of the rain.
Ara closed her mouth. Her eyes that were cuddled with fireflies made her vision blurred. Plus the rain is getting bigger. 'Oh my God, is today my last day? If I'm still given life, help me. Don't let me do it.' In her tears Ara prayed. He was tired and not strong anymore.
The man stopped in front of a house some distance from the other house. A simple house with half the building made of planks. The man reached into his pants pocket, probably looking for a house key.
Seeing that the man was busy with his pants, Ara bit the man's hand as hard as she could until the man's hand slipped from his arm.
"Yeah...! Vixen*ek!" The man shouted. He ran after Ara.
Ara running in no direction. He felt that his body was heavy and difficult to carry. His feet stumbled over the rocks that sometimes made him stumble.
"Where are you running, huh?! Back!" The man ran faster so caught Ara. He grabbed Ara's small body and shrugged to her shoulder. "You're mine. You must serve me!"
"Yeah! Help me!!! Helpgg!" Ara cried while shouting. He has let out his voice as loud as he can but in fact his voice is not big. Only the man heard it. The man's long legs went faster. He had arrived at the house he had come to.
As soon as the door opened, Ara's body was thrown on the floor and the man wrapped it up with his body. With a gaze thirsting for gratification, the man slammed Ara's neck violently.
"Yeah...! Aaaa..." Ara was still struggling to escape. His feet flapped. His hand pulled the man's hair away from him. "Supply..aaaaa!!! Please...!!!" He shouted as he could with a hoarse voice.
His face and neck had been devoured by the man. And impatiently the man pulled the collar of Ara's shirt to shreds. Now Ara's skin that should have been covered was already open.
Seeing that the man was getting worse, he impatiently wanted to immediately master and complete his wishes.
Ara shouted more and more. His voice is even finished. His legs and hands were numb and very tired. Only her tears were not tired. The clear water that would not be able to help him was increasingly swift wet shrinkage of his eyes until it flowed into his ears.
Boo.plakkk...
Suddenly the man stopped and his body floated far away. He slammed into the floor hard.
Feeling that her body was no longer heavy, Ara got up by covering the upper part of her body that had opened. Both of his hands trembled hugging himself in a half-bending position. Her eyes were red with lips trembling as she was still crying.
His weak foot stepped up wanting to run, but his wish did not happen because another man was standing before him. He sat back down on the floor and continued to retreat until he stuck to the wall.
His hands were hugging him even more. The intention of his heart wanted to go forward, instead choosing to retreat away from the man who had just arrived.
He knew the girl. A few times back when he was the daughter-in-law of the Atmaja family, he saw Meli silently following Ara and looking at her from a distance. He also knew that the girl was the son of Meli and Rudy from one of the servants in the house. But unfortunately, the waiter was caught knowing the big secret. Ara is Rudy's flesh and blood. That night, Meli poisoned the waiter until he died. Then take the servant's body out and throw it into the sea. At that time Rudy and Leo were working out of town. Seeing Meli's madness, Rendra chose to shut up and pretended not to know about the incident. From then on he chose to leave the house of Atmaja. Take Nayla out of the house.
He was sure Ara would not be far away. Because as soon as Dhira called him, he immediately went to an alley called Dhira. He walks around checking the alley, but does not find Ara. Stabbed again, but still didn't find it.
After running down the straight alley, Rendra turned back and checked each child again. Everything was quiet and no one was there. Until he arrived in a small alley that rarely home. He walked carefully because of the rocks that were not silent when stepped on.
He heard a scream from a woman. He immediately ran towards the voice and led him to a house whose door was not tightly closed.
It was a shock to see a man mumbling*u a woman who was trying to rebel and scream with her hands flailing erratically on the floor near the door.
Without hesitation he entered after kicking the door, then hit the man in succession, then pulled him and threw him with both hands.
His eyes widened to see a woman who was trying to cover her chest with a cloth that looks torn and her own hands. While his face is not clearly visible because his wet and disheveled hair covers the face up to his neck
Realizing that, he immediately pulled his own jacket and gave it to the woman.
Ara hugged the jacket tightly. He retreated in fear as Rendra approached, trying to examine his face.
Rendra's finger grabbed Ara's hair covering her face. Then raised his chin to ascertain if it was the woman he was looking for."Don'tbeafraid. I'll help you." He said after knowing it was Ara.
Ara hugged herself tightly. Rendra got closer and tried to reach his shoulder.
"I am Andhira's messenger. I was told to look for..."
Not finished Rendra speaking, Ara arrived to scatter to him. The girl who had been crying without a sound, now roared loudly while hugging Rendra. "Please meuu huhuu! I'm afraid." He said with a great cry.
"Calm down. You're safe. Now take off your hand. Wear this jacket well. I'll get you out of here." Rendra calmed Ara down. "But wait a minute here. You sit down first. I'll teach that man a lesson!"
Rendra looked for the man she threw just now around her, but the man was gone. He even ran outside checking on the man. But no longer find it. It seems he ran away immediately.
After putting on the jacket, Ara stood up slowly. He was tired and not energetic. His feet can't even stand anymore. He fell to the floor. Fortunately, Rendra caught him immediately. So that he did not fall to hit the floor.
Rendra held Ara and carried her out of the alley while being drenched in heavy rain. They took a taxi, because the motorbike was used by Dhira.
***
John walked into the house with a gloomy face. He had driven around the city but had not found Ara. Many places even hotels are checked. But the result is nil. I don't know where the girl disappeared to. The worry is more so, when looking at the condition of Ara is very different. Become thinner and more shabby. Plus his face was pale like a sick person.
"Aaaaaa..how to act? Without direction from the papi it becomes very confusing!" He shouted loudly while leaning at the door.
"Why are you so frustrated? Is the problem too heavy?"
Jhon jumped with wide eyes. Robert's voice filled the room and hoped it wasn't his hallucination. He blinked several times to confirm his vision.
"The fire finally came home. A lot has happened, why has Papi kept all news from me?" He was hunting Robert for questions.
"Calm down. You're like a fire beard." Robert was just casually joking.
John stood with a stupid face. I couldn't believe the expression Robert showed. So calm and carefree. Even look happy and satisfied.
"That's three weeks Ara's gone."
"I already know. Everything you reported I understand." Robert sat on the sofa leisurely. "Don't panic like that, just now at the funeral I saw it was fine." He also never missed the news of Meli. Starting from half-crazy because of a stab wound scissors his stomach, entered a mental hospital and committed suicide jumped from the roof. Everything Jhon reported was known until Meli died.
"Huh? Papi's at the funeral? Why don't I know?"
"I deliberately didn't show myself." Robert with a calm face.
Jhon's mouth just don't understand why with Robert. Why not return it though, why not tell her that the papi came and was already at the funeral.
"Okay, the mumpung papi is still here. Command anything to crack down on this incident. I'm confused as to what. Afraid wrong. Especially about Ara."
"No need to do anything."
John rounded his eyes to hear Robert's reply. After a moment of thought, his face returned to normal. "Did papi give up everything?"
Robert did not say. He just sat quietly with his legs crossed. Something was different from him than usual. It is not filled with cigarette smoke. Usually, he always lights a cigarette while sitting and can spend several sticks in a short time. The smoke that was billowing around him was as if something magical that could calm him down.
"What about Meli's death, Papi took Ara off?"
"It was time for him to know about his true self. Although not precise, but it's been exposed."
"That means we don't have to look for Ara anymore?" Ask Jhon.
Robert nodded. "Let her go home to her true place."
Jhon now understood. Robert no longer wanted Ara. There was a bitter taste in his heart. It doesn't make sense how Robert took Ara off. All this time he himself saw how Robert loved Ara. Arrived now all vanished like nothing ever happened. 'Is this a relationship without blood? There was no burden of sadness as they left.' John only dared to speak in his heart.
