The tension is growing over the two cousins in the back garden of the Mahesa mansion. Highlight serious eyes nan in accompanying their togetherness.
The wind blows strong enough to give a cold feeling of piercing the skin. One by one the leaves fall into the background of the feud of Jasmine and Darius.
Both of them no one wants to give up on each other and attach more importance to their own ego. Jasmine wanted to resuscitate her cousin, while Darius wanted to avenge all the deeds this woman had done.
After learning the news about his father, Darius immediately returned home and looked for Jasmine's whereabouts.
For about a month he watched over his cousin and was furious to see his life well. His emotions were more unstoppable and did the action right at the residence of Zidan and Ayana.
However, the bow he laid hit others and it made Darius even more inflamed.
The two then engaged in an inner conflict until they concluded a ceasefire with each other.
"Why? Are you wondering what happened to me so you're not afraid to die?" jasmine asked then found a messy face on it.
Getting that question made Darius sober. Just as she was about to pull the dagger around her cousin's neck, Jasmine clasped her wrists firmly.
"Why? Are you sorry for me? Just do-"
"Let go! Are you crazy, Jasmine?"
"Yes, I'm crazy. I've really gone crazy. All that because your father changed me like this."
He developed a smile full of wounds that again astonished Darius. He tried to pull his wrist, but Jasmine's grip was so strong.
Darius regained consciousness if too much pain that Jasmine endured to bring out so much power.
"I'm locked up Darius. I was caged like a beast by your father. He treated me like a working robot."
"Every day, I was required to make an order sculpture with an insane amount. He didn't even give me access to freedom for a second. I'm no different from a rode worker, Darius."
"I'M TRASH! I'M A SELFLESS AND HYPOCRITICAL CHILD... LIKE YOU SAID. I'M DARIUS' ANIMAL... I'M A BEAST THAT CAN'T SEE WHAT THE COLOR OF THE WORLD IS." Jasmine screamed loudly in the silence of the night.
Simultaneously the wild dog howling added to the tension. Jasmine's chest went back up and down withstanding the stuffy back hit.
"My parents were slaughtered right in front of my own eyes. After that, I became a rode worker that he used to gain wealth."
"Where do you think the money you've been scattering all this time, HUH? The money was from my labor for years."
"You never know how sick it is to coexist with the dead bodies of your parents and your own family."
"The truth was revealed when I managed to escape from the mansion. You know what it's like? SICK DARIUS. IT HURTS SO MUCH THAT I WOULD RATHER DIE THAN LIVE IN A HELL LIKE THIS!" snapping Jasmine again revealed the pain she had been enduring all this time.
In the middle of the grin were tears flowing from both corners of the eye. Darius gasped with a short round of sweets.
He could see how his cousin hurt due to the cruelty of his biological father. All this time he lived abroad free to do anything.
He enjoys the money that Alexa gives him every month. With a very large amount he squandered it, whether it was doing a party with friends, or just a walk and buy branded goods.
Without knowing if the money was made from the slashed wounds of his closest cousin. For a dozen years he had no idea how Jasmine lived.
He thought the cousin got his fortune from the treasure left by his late parents.
The massacre that happened to Jasmine's parents, was unknown to Darius. He was deliberately evacuated before the horrific incident was executed by his father.
After that he returned to Mahesa mansion and had found Jasmine's parents and those closest to him died due to an accident.
They soon grew up together under Rusli's tutelage until adolescence and were separated.
"You don't know, how did your father kill my parents and our people?" Jasmine again grinned widely. "Originally you know, that's the truth."
"She also even exiled your mother to a remote village. That's why you can't call aunt Rusli, right?"
Jasmine laughed a gamang full of wounds. Darius was stunned to not believe that his usual cheerful and happy cousin could be covered in sadness.
Darius immediately limp to hear Jasmine's expression of the father. Jasmine was satisfied to see the expression on her current handsome face.
He could see that the water was smashed and could not believe that Darius could not say anything.
"But I hope he's executed soon!"
Simultaneously, Jasmine's gray bead widened as if it really wanted Alexa to disappear in this world.
His statement returned Darius' consciousness. His strength recovered and made the emotions peak again.
Seeing Jasmine off guard, Darius again pulled a dagger until it slashed his neck. The hijab he was wearing was torn to make a deep wound there.
Fresh blood poured out, flowing, making Jasmine's breath frown.
"Darius, what are you doing?"
Simultaneously with the incident the loud voice of someone shocked. Jasmine and Darius turned to the source of the voice that immediately ran over.
"Ma-Mamma?" Call Darius surprised.
"Ta-Tante Ru-sli." Call Jasmine choked.
Rusli rested beside Jasmine, encouraging her only son to leave in front of her nephew.
"Why Jasmine? Why do you have to do this? There is enough suffering that you have been feeling all along. What-"
"Tante Rusli, i-" Jasmine reached out and cupped her cheek warmly.
"It's okay, I'm doing this because I want to explain everything to Darius. I also hope that he doesn't misunderstand and disturb my calmness and the people closest to me" Jasmine said with a intermittent breath.
Rusli's hijab-headed head shook his head several times with trembling hands rubbing the sweat on his beautiful face.
"You explained everything, Auntie, please don't sacrifice yourself any further" Rusli said.
Jasmine smiled softly and closed her eyes briefly.
Darius, who had witnessed it, was glued to his tongue, unable to say another word.
He was shocked and devastated by what he had just done. The incision on Jasmine's neck opened making the blood even more seep out.
Until not too long later, the consciousness gradually disappeared making the darkness instantly welcoming.
...***...
That was another terrible event that Ayana experienced. He did not expect if his best friend and sister could get an accident so strange.
Jasmine had already promised him not to get hurt, but in fact, the promise was only a promise.
Right in the morning after the night of the incident, he got word if Jasmine was in the hospital. He immediately went there and found him lying limp on the cankar.
An infusion hose adorned his right arm with both eyes tightly closed. The doctor said there was a deep incision in Jasmine's neck and a little more about her veins.
He lost a lot of blood and could hardly be saved. Getting the terrible news made Ayana almost unsteady.
Zidan deftly embraced his waist carrying his wife sitting. Ayana cries and finds Jasmine badly injured.
Seeing the silence of his sister made Danieal frown. He knew a lot of things Ayana was thinking right now.
His eyeballs then rolled on Zidan who immediately revealed a smile. The couple's gesture immediately made Danieal wonder.
