A 25-year-old girl named Joan is engrossed in playing games on the computer at a cafe, without realizing that someone who is actually a coworker who has been trusted to prepare a plan to kill her.
His co-workers had already planted bombs at certain places in the cafe, because Joan was too engrossed in playing, he did not realize that the people inside the cafe had already left the place so he was alone in the place.
Suddenly.......
"Bra......."
A powerful explosion shook the place, Joan only had time to look with wide eyes at the sight of an extremely powerful explosion that immediately destroyed her body along with the rest of the room...
Joan's body was torn apart by the explosion and the blood that flowed soaked the jade pendant that was on the necklace on her neckline.
A blinding beam of eyes buried from the jade pendant mixed with the smoke from the bomb blast.
"Geez"
.A strong pain shook his head. The 12-year-old girl crouched down and put her head between her legs while her hands held her head to protect herself from the pounding blow of a wooden stick directed by a beak woman turn to him
"Based on petty thieves, shameless. Feel this, so you don't dare to do it next morning"
Everyone who was there looked at the girl with compassion but no one commented or tried to help her except for a little girl who was almost the same age as her who was pulling on her shirt by crying and trying to make the woman stop beating the girl....
"Mother quit, Joan was not wrong. I told him to take the leftovers".
But the woman would not listen to her son's words the harder he swung his wand at the boy's head...
The boy's head began to bleed and not long after that the boy collapsed and lay on the wet ground.
Seeing that the girl was already lying on the ground, the woman threw away her cane and while cursing, she dragged her crying child back home.
His son looked at his girl friend who was lying on the ground helplessly. He was willing to rebel and break away from the hands of his mother but his strength was not enough so he was forced to follow the steps of his mother who dragged him away.
Soon the people watching the incident dispersed by themselves but earlier someone who knew the girl immediately ran to tell the girl's family.
Not long after, a middle-aged man ran over limping with crutches that helped him walk and approached the boy. He raised his weak body leaning on it with great difficulty and walked back to his house.
In front of a very simple house. The mother and two boys aged 10 and 9 and a little girl aged 5 were waiting for them.
They immediately ran to greet the father who was holding Joan and the mother while crying took over to hold the fainted Joan.
"Jun, quickly go get Sun's spell"; the father said to his second son.
The second child quickly ran like an arrow released from his bow to Sun's mantri house.
Wordlessly the mother took Joan, cleaned her body with warm water, changed her clothes and laid her on the bed.
When she was done, the mother came out of the room and found the father and his three children sitting in their small living room. They were talking about what happened to Joan.
" Mother Wang is so cruel, beating up big brother like that. He said his brother stole the pad, but it was the remains of the rice that fell from his cow cart"; said the third son whose name was Jono.
"Had, no need to talk about it anymore, it's happened. You guys don't play near Mr. Wang's farm, aunt Wang will be angry again'; father said helplessly.
"Yes, we poor people, can't argue with them. They will turn the story upside down if we report the matter to the village chief'; mother said resignedly.
Not long after they waited, Sun's spell accompanied by the second child who was trailing walked behind him with a bag of Chen's healer's supplies.
"Thank you doctor Sun has come, please check on my son" said the mother as she led Sun's mantri into the room.
Mantri Sun without saying anything immediately examined Joan's body, put her finger in front of Joan's nose and held her right hand to examine her pulse.
Mantri Sun frowned and shook his head.
The mother who saw the mantri Sun's reaction felt scared and agitated.
"What's Sun's mantri, is he can be saved".
"Yes, Sun's mantri, what's really going on"; said the father adding.
Mantri Sun is a person who does not like to beat around the bush and what it is. So he didn't feel guilty about saying that.
The father was silent and the mother and her three children began to cry sobbing.
"Cry but don't be too sad, maybe this is best for him" said the father, remembering that Joan was a mentally retarded child.
Although all this time his work was just playing around but for them Joan was a fun child and not a burden for them.
But his father and mother always worried about his daughter's future, what about his life when they were gone, so although Joan's death grieved their hearts but they could accept it as the best God-given path.
"Then, I'll go home first and not have to pay for medical expenses because there's nothing I'm doing here'; said Sun's mantri as she said goodbye.
"Jun, bring healer Chen back"; father said to his second son.
Sobbling slightly, Jun picked up Sun's mantri bag and followed Sun's mantri back to his house while carrying Sun's bag of spell gear.
The father and mother and the third child sat in the living room in silence, none of them speaking.
They remembered Joan's memories and cuteness, because although she was mentally retarded but Joan was very diligent in helping her mother and never troubled them.
Joan always walked everywhere if there was nothing she did in her house and many of her neighbors loved the child because Joan was always smiling at everyone she met.
Joan had a beautiful and sweet face with dimples on both cheeks, white as jade.
Joan is best friends with Mr. Wang's son, Meli. Meli is different from her arrogant mother, she is a good child. Despite knowing that Joan was mentally retarded, she never bullied her, often defending Joan when Joan was bullied by other friends
When Joan was beaten by her mother, it was Meli who brought Joan to see her father's employees who were harvesting the rice and Meli invited Joan to pick up the remains of a grain of rice that fell on the edge of the field.
Due to the iniquity of picking up the rice stalk, Joan unknowingly follows the ox cart that transports the harvested rice to master Wang's rice warehouse.
It was there that Joan met Mrs Wang who later accused her of stealing her chests and beating her
Meli is aware that Joan is missing and finds out Joan is following the ox cart immediately after her for fear that Joan will meet her mother.
Her fear is proven and Meli tries to prevent her mother from beating Joan.
As they were being silent in the living room, mister Wang and Meli came knocking on their door. In contrast to his wife, it was precisely Mr. Wang, a friendly and kind person.
"Excuse me, Joko's father and mother, sorry I interfered" said Mr. Wang.
The father and mother and the third child rose from their seats and greeted Mr. Wang .
"Please enter Mr. Wang, what needs you here"; said the father while holding back emotions.
"I'm sorry, I heard from my son that Joan was beaten by her mother. Is Joan okay"; asked Mr. Wang.
"Johan.....".; Mother could no longer endure her grief and roared out her emotions
Hugged my mother to calm her down
Mr. Wang was speechless, not wondering anymore, he understood what had happened from Joan's mother's reaction.
Without saying anything, he immediately turned around and half ran back to his house without bringing Meli back.
Meli without excuse again immediately ran to Joan's room in tears. Mom and Dad didn't try to stop him. They just watched her go to Joan's room
They know Meli must also be sad to see her best friend leave her .
Meli knelt beside Joan's body and held Joan's hand and shook it while calling Joan's name.
"Joan-joan get up, don't scare me. Let's get up, let's play together again"; exclaimed Meli
Joan's youngest sister on the other side also held Joan's other hand while crying silently, looking at her beautiful sister's face with tears ......
