SINDOORAH PROPHECY
IRON HORSE KNIGHT

The sound of bells screaming loudly throughout the house, echoing up to the second floor and vibrating on the walls of the bathtub. Nina heard it, but she was helpless to meet the call. His hands and feet were tied to a rope. His mouth was also bandaged. Those people had just intended to obliterate his tracks because there was one flaw in him that they hated. Nina barren wife useless.

He and Nolan have never asked for professional help even if they have not had children after three years of marriage. Nina was unable to dodge all the blind accusations because she was afraid of being branded as a son-in-law. During that time, Nina's life was like a bridge over hell.

Nina thought that she could change the people's thinking about her by doing good in front of them. Unfortunately, the step he took turned out to be two-three steps back to give them more space to torture him.

For example yesterday, Nina helped Olivia cook dinner. As much as possible, he avoids the slightest 'error' in the kitchen. Nina knew that her mother-in-law's recipes always lacked spice, but he adds secretly so that Olivia does not think that she is a pretentious daughter-in-law who is as brash as Olivia is told - one of the efforts of all the efforts she tried.

As everyone seemed silent to eat the dinner that Nina had saved, an unusual silence came. Only the clink of the spoon draped as a companion song. But Nina knew why. Ever since he occupied the seat on Nolan's side, his heart rumbled like a storm. That night, she is invited to eat together - a special treat she does not normally receive because Olivia and Naomi, her sister-in-law, do not want to eat one table with her - for one thing.

"Tomorrow, I'll take Nina, okay?" Nolan stared meaningfully at Olivia and was greeted with a glint of white woman pretence across from her. Nina's in-laws did not answer, but Nolan next rubbed the wife's long hair next to her - which felt like a touch of death to Nina. "You're good with Mami and Naomi, huh?"

Nina did not reply, her throat pressed by a lump of sadness. The pungent aroma of black pepper sauce chicken and lettuce acid added to the ripples of the waves that hit his stomach. Nina felt like she wanted to vomit.

That night, Nina found out that her husband was leaving today. With another woman, sadly. This was the answer he received after Nolan left without news for weeks. 'The 'story' Nolan brought was shocking like a lightning strike.

She could tell how passionate her husband was in the morning. While waiting for Nina to neatly iron the man's polo shirt, Nolan whistled and kicked softly while sitting cross-legged on the edge of the bed. It was so relaxing from the way Nolan's two hands were propping up there with limp shoulders. At that time, Nolan also did not think that their neat plan would end up being an unexpected scenario.

"Darling ..., you want a cheese roll, or, a delicious boiled quail egg?"

Nolan's brunette eyebrows shot up for a moment to hear a question from Nina trying to offer her favorite breakfast. The wife twirled her dark brown hair - a level darker than Nolan's because Nina had obtained blood from her grandmother, while both Nolan's parents are both bule-and Nolan realizes Nina is trying to seduce him. However, he shook his head with a sour-turned expression as he was fed up with the next scenario if Nina was rejected. True enough, Nina's lip line instantly bent down and the woman's eyes glazed over.

"Make what?" ask Nolan flatly. He snatched the T-shirt from Nina's hand which suddenly trembled as a result of restraining the emotional pace.

Nolan didn't know, Nina now knew Nolan was behind him! In fact, the name of the woman Nolan always mentioned in his heart was!

Naively, Nina wished she could deflect Nolan's intentions into bed in their room by wearing the sexiest lingerie - as Nolan said back then - which she had worn since waking up, then suddenly he was attacked. All thanks to one phone call in the morning.

"Lho, Mi!" Nolan was shocked when Nina's body was crushed with a blow to the head by Naomi to the point of almost fainting and helplessness, but she still heard what they were talking about.

"Delissa's phone, she's pregnant!"

Nolan was shocked not to play. The exciting news was able to defeat his desire that had been turbulent due to Nina's seduction.

"So?" Nolan's question sounds stupid.

"We lost track of it before people realized it. She's useless and will only hinder your marriage plans with Delissa, Nolan! Take Delissa now to your grandfather in Singapore!"

"But ...."

"There's no buts!"

"I mean, don't let Mami's plan fail and drag my name!"

"When did Mami's plan ever fail?"

Nina's tears flowed in helplessness and a puddle of deep wounds. His hands and feet were fastened dexterously by his sister-in-law, Naomi, a former black belt karate athlete. Screaming as loud as he could, his voice would not be heard as the villa belonging to the Nolan family was on a hill, far away from civilization.

Bad things often happen here, said Nolan used to joke when applying for Nina in one of the villas owned by the Ricci family. Who would have thought that bad things even happened to him because he felt sure of one hundred percent of his ability which turned out to be weak in this kind of situation.

"Mommy, Naomi, please ...." Nina sobbed as her body was dragged helplessly towards the bathroom.

"Shut up!" Naomi kicked Nina's hip with a huff until the woman screamed in pain. There was a loud sound of duct tape pulled by Olivia, then for a moment Nina could not speak anymore. "Suitable for you who are noisy and usually just a parasite!" maki Olivia brutal.

Just a whiff of nasal came out of Nina's esophagus when they put her body in the bathtub. Before Naomi could turn the faucet, her hands hung in the air because of the sound of the doorbell. Olivia and the princess exchanged astonished looks. The bell rarely rang and Nolan had just left.

"Nolan's got the key, right, Mi?" Olivia did not answer her daughter's rhetoric. His gaze precisely rolled sharply towards Nina who looked frozen, as if waiting for something. Before long, the ringing of Olivia's phone added to the fanfare. Soon Nolan's anxious voice sounded across. "I ran into a cop on the street, Mi! They're headed for the villa! Do I need to go back?"

"You just take Delissa before your stepbrother gets Ricci's shares!"

Olivia throws the device in any direction. Nina moaned as Olivia suddenly grabbed her hair until her body sank further in the bathtub and she was hit on the porcelain fringe.

"Let me handle it, Mi! Take care of these parasites just so as not to infect everywhere!" Nina's widened eyelids threatened to hear Naomi's taunts. He has reached the limit of patience today. However, the young girl replied to him with a condescending glance. Instead, Olivia said worriedly, "Be careful, Nao."

"Don't doubt Nao's strength," Nina's sister-in-law showed off her fat biceps, "if necessary, Nao can use a secret style!" The girl patted her butt muscles with a laugh, then walked out with contrived behavior. Olivia did not have time to get upset with the princess because her attention was now more focused on Nina who might now be flying in the wind.

"You must be kind!" Olivia untied Nina's body in a hurry before the police boarded a search. Before that happens, the son-in-law is forced to go on a show. Nina seemed to find new strength again when her hands and feet were free. He even removed his own duct tape from his mouth. Today is not the time of his death.

"What's this?" Olivia snaps at a plainclothes and bigger-looking cop from Naomi who doesn't seem to be getting bogged down by the girl. The man who seemed to rule the entire world deftly moved to wait for Nina and Olivia to descend at the end of the stairs.

"Good morning, Madam. Midnight last night, we received a threat report against Mrs Nina." The man looked at Olivia and Nina who were standing slightly back while holding her pajama towel in suspicious gestures. "Who among you is Lady Nina?"

"I told you. Me, Sir!" Naomi had a high voice before Nina who suddenly fluttered unexpectedly.

"You don't seem to be in a threatened position" the police officer said. Naomi's physique does look tough like the Wonder Woman version in the real world.

"Of course I threatened my husband taken the same actor!"

Naomi pointed towards Nina so that Nina wavered with the change in the situation. Olivia smiled happily at Naomi's ingenuity.

"I'm Nina, sir! He lied!"

"Don't you see how he looks like that? She got snatched up with my husband this morning in the room!" Naomi yelling. His acting was so convincing that the police were affected.

"Where is the Madam's husband?"

"A run!"

"He's lying, sir! He's my husband's sister!" Nina's entire body shook with anger.

"Where are your ID cards?"

"He had my husband steal my ID and then faked my death identity, sir!"

"Sir, I can explain-"

"Enough!" The police locked Nina and Naomi's mouths. The man turned to Olivia. "Whose mother?"

"I'm the owner of this villa, an eyewitness to their affair." Naomi's cry suddenly broke. Nina did not believe what she saw. Naomi, Olivia's sly smile, especially when reading the police's heart.

Nina's heart was split. His fingers tightly gripped the rim of the towel in front of his chest. In this world, perhaps no one could help Nina except herself ....

......***......

Gerald toured around the villa with his Ducati to monitor the CTF. Last night's report sounded suspicious, coming from a woman named Nina Ricci. Gerald knew Ricci's name behind the woman's name - the family of world-class fashion-share owner Moe Ricci who rules the Asian market.

Suddenly, he receives a shocking report of a walkie-talkie-someone running away. Gerald immediately turned back to the side of the villa as per the instructions of his men.

"Observe the people in that house!" gerald's instructions were quick.

His motorbike passed through a patrol car parked on the side of the road, appearing his men were securing two women in front of the villa. Gerald's attention was not on them, but on a woman who ran straight into the forest around the two-story building. When the woman disappeared between the rows of trees, Gerald rattled that fast he lost track because his motorbike could not break through there.

But this case is not finished. Gerald just left his motorbike and went down the path that he thought was passed by the woman. A barefoot woman with a pink polkadot pajama towel will not have much of a chance in the woods, he thought. So, when he caught the contrasting pastel-colored object moving between blackish brown stems and twigs with green leaves brushed, he also moved quickly trying to cut the path of the woman. Then, a shrill scream sounded and the figure was swallowed by the earth.

Gerald thought he was hallucinating when he saw the woman being swallowed by the earth in the truest sense.

"Hold on!" Gerald shouted to the woman who was now clinging to the edge of the gaping round hole on the ground that seemed to be an old well. Its diameter is narrow and there are no plants on it.

"Please!" The woman begged weakly for running out of energy. Gerald's hand immediately clasped his hand tightly. Then, the next incident gripped the nerves. The weight of the woman's body becomes many times heavier as if something is pulling her down. The last thing Gerald saw before the woman disappeared was a round eye full of horror on a round face of his egg, and the deep darkness waiting down there like the mouth of the earth without foundation.
