Dag .. dag .. dag ....
The sound of a bang outside the car, disturbing a pair of human children who were sound asleep.
The eyelids blink to adjust the light entering the cornea, they are not yet fully aware of what is going on out there.
Dag .. dag .. dag ....
"out! You guys don't fuck around here!"
Riska and Keenan who had just opened their eyes, looked at each other with confused and surprised faces.
"What's this, Bang?" riska asked with a red face and pupils swaying quickly, fretting and afraid to be clearly visible on the girl's face.
"I don't know either, Ris!" answer Keenan, while looking around the car that is now a lot of people.
Keenan raised both his hands, he opened a little car glass to talk to the money man outside.
"We're going outside, but please let us explain first!" said Keenan with a voice that is high enough, so that it can be heard by people outside his car.
"Bang, I'm scared! What if they play rough?" said Riska, she subconsciously held Keenan's hand so tightly.
"You calm down first, let me come out, you just wait here," said Keenan, cupping Riska's hand to give a little sense of calm for the girl.
"But, what if you're in the crackle?" Riska is getting more restless.
The light of all the movements of the two makes the minds of people who are outside increasingly suspicious of the relationship Keenan and Riska.
"I can still face them, believe me, yes" Keenan said.
Dag .. dag .. dag ....
"Woy! Get out, or we'll destroy this car!" shouted one of the men who looked impatient.
"You lock the car door again, once I get out, don't open it if I don't tell you to, okay?" keenan's orders, before he goes out.
Riska nodded faintly, with her eyes starting to red. "Be careful" he said as he began to release his hands with Keenan's hands.
He immediately pressed the door lock button when Keenan had already completely exited. His heart beat erratically, fear, worry and anxiety now made him feel uncomfortable at all. Want to come out scared, just be quiet too he is nervous erratically.
Keenan raised both his hands beside his head, looking at the people who were now looking at him with accused gazes.
"This is the man who has committed adultery in our place!" The accusatory discord was heard to propagate all those who were there.
"No! I'm not doing anything with him here!" keenan's reply denied the unwarranted accusation.
"Well, what the wrong person would say! We've just punished them both!" The increasingly angled screams made Keenan sound again.
"Yes, right. We must punish them for having soiled our place!" the call from people who are local residents is increasingly stirring emotions.
"I can explain everything, we didn't do anything. I was just resting because my car broke down" Keenan explained, still trying to be patient, although many in front of him cornered him.
"Here we better take them to the village chief, let him decide" someone else tried to break up the riot.
"If you do not feel guilty, I hope you will come with us to the house of the village chief" said the man who spoke.
Keenan looks to see the faces of all citizens who look filled with emotion. With various considerations, he finally nodded, agreeing to the proposal of a middle-aged man in front of him.
"But, I beg you to be able to guarantee the safety of both of us, the girl inside was very frightened, may we not be separated so that she does not worry too much?" keenan said, the end of his eyes staring into the car.
"Alright, I will guarantee your safety," the middle-aged man seemed to nod.
Actually Keenan feels a little strange with the arrival of these residents, while last night he did not see any houses around here. However, now that he had no choice, he also felt unable to face so many people alone, plus he did not carry any weapons.
Keenan turned around and gave Riska a code to unlock the car door. Riska who saw it directly conditioned her body, to open the car door.
"Let's get out, we'll be taken to the village chief's house" Keenan said.
"What are you doing? We are not doing anything" asked Riska.
"We better follow them, than anything happens. I'm sure they're just misunderstanding" Keenan explained.
Riska looked at Keenan, she was so afraid to see a group of people outside the car, various bad thoughts came to her head, making her hesitate to Iku Keenan.
With a slight hesitation, Riska came out holding tightly onto Keenan's arm. Both are now walking in the middle of a crowd of residents, towards a village that turns out to be in an inland area located quite far from the highway.
It took about twenty minutes to walk from Keenan's parked car, to reach the village chief's house. Fortunately, the road conditions are good even though it is very small, maybe only enough for a motorcycle.
Even so, Riska sometimes has to be careful when finding a path that decreases or uphill is quite sharp, so it must hold on to Keenan, who is not, because the road cast or asphalt it has been eroded in some parts until it is left only like an arrangement of rocks and gravel and sand to flatten it.
Moments later, the two are now in a building like a large pendopo without any obstructions on its side, the residents call it a meeting hall.
In front of them were some village leaders who looked to be researching the appearance of Riska and Keenan. A young couple became suspects in a highway raid, charged with adultery in a car.
Riska looked down deeply, with her hands not separated from Keenan, while Keenan tried to remain calm, looking at the three seemingly respected people with a polite look.
"You have to take responsibility for what you've done in our area." A middle-aged man sounded starting to speak up.
Keenan turned his gaze to the man who seemed to be more master than his father's age.
"Sir, we didn't do anything. My car broke down, he came to help me, but, instead, the bike was gone, so we decided to rest in the car, while waiting for the morning," clear Keenan with words and gestures that are so polite.
The three men in front of Keenan now looked at each other, after hearing the explanation from Keenan.
While Riska was not even able to lift her head, considering that around her there were many people who made her and Keenan as a spectacle. It felt so embarrassing that it felt like he wanted to just disappear from there right now.
'If only I had a vanishing style like in colossal movies or cartoons, ' he murmured inwardly, with his eyes closed tightly.
The whispers of the gathered citizens sounded so boisterous, some blasphemed, sneered, but some admired Keenan's good looks.
'Ish, you rumpi mother, same weird chick!' upset Riska.
"In order to avoid calamity in our village, we had to marry you both here."
"What?!" screeched Keenan and Riska together, They looked at the three middle-aged men in front of him with widened eyes.
Obviously the look of a surprised face of the young couple, both of them had looked at each other and both looked away.
'What is this, why is it like this? What if Papa, Mama and Brother Ezra know? I could have been slashed alive, because I got married because of being raided by citizens!' muttered Keenan in heart.
'What? How can I marry him, the most beautiful man in the world? Iiih .. I don't want to, I don't want to! Mother, Rio, Mba Ayu, help me!' Riska shuddered in horror at the thought of having to live alone with Keenan.
"But, Sir. We really didn't do anything, we just slept .. nothing more," Keenan is still trying to negotiate.
"Who can guarantee that you don't do anything, while there are no surveillance cameras or anything that can be evidence" one of the middle-aged men debated.
Keenan breathed a rough sigh, he confirmed some of the middle-aged man's words, indeed there was no one thing that could prove that he was innocent.
"Sir, may we speak together first?" ask Keenan carefully.
The two went to a quieter place to negotiate, after getting a nod from the citizens.
"How about this, Bang?" ask Riska.
"What if we just follow their will, than we can't get out of here" Keenan suggested.
"But, Bang,"
"We don't have a choice, Ris!" press Keenan.
"If you don't like it, I'll let you go after we get to Jakarta" Keenan said.
With a heavy heart Riska nodded, the two of them then returned to their place.
"All right, I agree. But what about our family, sir. What's more in marriage, Riska needs a guardian," Keenan decided, after they fell silent for a while.
"We will give it until noon, while waiting for the KUA to come."
A casual greeting from one of the people in front of Keenan, made the eyes of the two suspects widen. This is not a playful marriage, they even involve the KUA party.
'Gosh, this is really gil*!' as Keenan said in his heart.
'Geez, what is this, why am I stuck in a situation like this? Married because of the people? This is really embarrassing! Huawey ... I don't want to be rich!'risk in the heart.
