SINDOORAH PROPHECY
A WILD DESSERT

"One more time, Mrs Nina. Truth or dare?" The gun's eyes were directed at him as the police commander mengultimatum.

Nina knew that Commander Gerald wasn't the kind of person to play around with. All the actions of the man were planned neatly, carefully, and efficiently. Supposedly, Nina's former ability to help herself in this situation, which is to read Commander Gerald's heart and act one step further. After meeting this man, then Nina appreciated his ability.

"I've told you all about myself, Mr. Detective Chief, "said Nina. "What else do you want to know about me?"

"Maybe you forgot that you haven't told me why you ran away from the villa that day" Commander Gerald said.

Nina fell silent. He recalled that he had retracted the report relating to the story, but it seemed that Commander Gerald was still interested in finding out. The man turns stubborn, stalking himself to Ricci's villa so far in order to obtain a fact that Nina herself failed to cover up as a victim.

"It's amazing, your memory is so sharp, Mr. Detective Chief," Nina said without insinuating.

Sure oes. Commander Gerald is the chief of police, isn't he? The man should have eyes and ears behind his head. Otherwise, Commander Gerald's fate would be like that of the old Nina, who was stabbed in the back when her eyes and ears were off guard, while the eyes of her heart were blinded by a speck of false hope.

"Perhaps, I have to learn many things from you, Mr. Detective Chief," Nina said sincerely. He didn't care if the man actually pulled the trigger. Try it if you dare. One Halimun Town would turn to hunt down the commander before Nina's burial ground dried up. The position of a police chief in a tourist city full of foreign exchange is very tempting. One mistake can be an action that can be used to derail a person's career, even hijacking his personal life.

"You're really big with challenging bullets, Mrs Nina," Commander Gerald said. "An ordinary young lady must have cried when she was in your position."

"Darling, I'm not that woman" Nina sneered. Olivia and Naomi are stunned to see the courage of Nina taking the war commander's mouth in front of them.

"Better you don't stall for answers, Madam. "

"Why don't you just ask them directly?" Nina pointed at Olivia and Naomi who were just watching earlier. Meanwhile, through their fingers Nina lived like a bridge over hell, then began the war in the Villa Ricci. So Nina spoke aloud to Commander Gerald. "You won't hear any story from me today, Mr. Detective Chief. With all due respect, put your gun down right now. "

The ultimatum worked. Commander Gerald put his gun back in his trouser belt. A moment later, the man blinked his eyes as if his mind had just been swept away in a vacuum. The same condition Nina had also felt when dealing with Sindoorah first. However, Nina seemed to have lost half her energy.

Nina saw Commander Gerald also felt the same way as herself. The man sat in his chair with one hand propping his head up at the dinner table, as if he was gathering the remaining energy.

It seemed, Nina had encountered a balanced opponent. Sindoorah was right when the rabbit man said that he did not have the strength of a pure soul that Nina used to have. Knowing that Commander Gerald belonged to that faction, made Nina quite impressed. How not? At first Nina thought, a pure soul is only owned by weak people like herself. The oppressed under the feet of the likes of Olivia and Naomi. Also Nolan.

However, Commander Gerald's profile seems to prove that the assumption is wrong. Come to think of it, Commander Gerald did have an above-average level of concern that was actually rather troublesome.

"Are we going to eat tonight?" Suddenly Naomi put all her questions in motion, then flowed in her body muscles that were trembling from hunger and fatigue. The girl had watched Nina lunge into the face of Commander Gerald. So, Naomi is worried that Nina's attitude just now will make the commander even blindly send them a 'love letter' that opens a wide path to ransack Ricci's villa. As long as Nina kept the attitude and 'secret' of their family, it didn't seem like it would happen.

For Nina, there was nothing much more precious than revenge right now.

When Nina brought out the flavor-generating cuisine, the main course, and the cover all at once to save their time that had been wasted tonight, so happiness also rises like bright sunlight dispels megamendung born of hostility, then reflected on the faces of people.

That night, a dish ordered by Nina overwhelms their stomachs, though not all of their hearts.

Olivia wasn't even shy about burping in front of everyone as a sign she was enjoying dinner so much. Meanwhile, Naomi still keeps her senses from doing shame in the presence of commander Gerald. Presumably, the girl's feelings regained control of her logic which had been made chaotic by Nina's provocation. Honey, Naomi's common sense doesn't work all night.

"Is he okay?" commander Gerald asked somewhat worriedly when he saw Naomi, who was almost half of her body lying on the table. A ghost inserts sleeping pills quietly into Naomi's drink so that the girl falls asleep with a loud snore. Hard enough that if a glass of wine is placed nearby, the surface of the wine will be bumpy. Nina uses the trick this time to avenge Naomi's actions first to him - Naomi inserts sleeping pills secretly on Nina's food so that the sister-in-law always miss the Ricci family party. And so, there remained a confused Nina who did not understand what had happened the night before.

"You can take him home as a bonus if you want," said Nina lightly, startling Commander Gerald.

"Your words are so immoral. Are you aware, Madam?" commander Gerald said without hesitation to rebuke Nina.

Nina laughed in response. "No wonder you're a police commander for being so moral," Nina's taunts were a bit overreaching. From the man's expression, it seemed that Commander Gerald was somewhat regretful that Nina herself was then the one who delivered him to the front of the villa. Meanwhile, Olivia finally took Naomi into the room. The problem was, the commander did not know how to stop Nina's mouth suddenly running wild like the dance of a drunkard.

And so, a crazy impulse forced Commander Gerald to kiss Nina's lips right then and there.

The man then quickly withdrew and apologized for realizing his fatal mistake of kissing someone's wife.

"Sorry, that must be the effect of the wine" said Commander Gerald, who said that Nina knew it was in vain. "You didn't drink a single bit earlier," Nina said, striking the man down.

"Then, why didn't you just refuse?" ask Commander Gerald. Sounds stupid because he is looking for a gap to corner Nina for his own mistakes. All of a sudden, this man became a coward in the presence of a woman.

Nina Ricci isn't just any woman, Commander Gerald cam in heart. Nina is not the kind of woman who cries when her lips are stolen by someone. However, the woman clearly did not look pleased, let alone proud when an again good-natured handsome police commander secretly harbored as much liking towards her. It was this manipulative Nina Ricci attitude that had made Commander Gerald lose his mind when he was around this woman.

After apologizing once more and promising to forget, Commander Gerald climbed onto his Ducati back with a load on his own back. Nina Ricci even passed her departure until she disappeared in a corner of the road.

In the darkness of the night that was now swallowing the moonlight, Nina's bead glittered with rage. He was determined not to let the commander forget the consequences of his actions. Nina will chase the man down to the rabbit hole.
