Temptation of Telaga Residents
Retaliation

Ronald continues to thrash his hands tied, he was flanked by two men with sturdy bodies and strong faces, he was confused why he got kidnapped like this.

"Who are you, what's my fault?!" ask Ronald.

"You just shut up don't act, you'll know what's wrong!!" threaten one of the men sitting in front of him.

The car that brought Ronald into a quiet residential area because it was still in the construction stage, the car stopped at one of the completed houses, Ronald was brought into the house by force.

He was again tied to a chair, one of the sturdy men contacted someone and told him that Ronald had been successfully paralysed, Ronald shouted so that there were outsiders who heard him, but instead got beat up to unconsciousness.

*******

Ronald woke up when his body felt wet, someone deliberately doused him with water so that he realized from his stupor, slowly Ronald opened both eyes, his body felt crumpled and his face also felt very painful, a woman sat on the chair opposite him with a cynical smile.

Rebeca laughed at the helpless Ronald, his hands and feet bound and his mouth covered with duct tape so he could not scream.

"Hello Ronald, do you remember me?" Rebeca smiled, stood up and grabbed Ronald's hair closer to Ronald's battered face.

"You think you can run away after you fuck me, breng*ek man, feel my vengeance I want you to live in the misery of Ronald!!" Rebeca pulled Ronald's hair out rough.

Ronald grimaced with pain, he could not make a sound because his mouth was tightly closed with duct tape. He wanted to apologize but his voice did not come out, only a snort could be heard from his tightly shut mouth.

"I want you to make him battered, and one more thing for him not to be able to fuck a woman for the rest of his life, but remember don't kill this guy, I want him to suffer, I want him to live, after that dump his body on the road!!" Rebeca laughed in front of Ronald.

Ronald continued to wrangle, he begged Rebeca for mercy but she could only move her head without being able to say. Rebeca passes leaving Ronald with his bouncer, after Rebeca leaves Ronald to become the men of Rebeca.

Fresh blood flowed through Ronald's face and body from the blows and brutal blows of Rebeca's men, and worse one of Rebeca's men hit Ronald's vital organs, Ronald fainted again because he could not stand the torment that berlubi, after being content to beat Ronald's body they brought the body of Ronald full of wounds and throw on the roadside deserted.

"Well, did Ronald arrive in Jakarta?" nina asked her in-laws.

"Lo did he come back here?" Wijaya Kesuma was also surprised because he did not know about Ronald's return to Jakarta.

"Yes Pah, from this afternoon but until this hour her phone is off," Nina was getting anxious.

"Huh ..., where is the boy, you're not coming home?" ask Wijaya Kesuma.

"Ronald told me to stay Pa, because I had to oversee the construction of my restaurant" Nina said

"Duh, what is this is not usually Ronald like this, yes already let papa find first, later papa takainin you yes," Wijaya Kesuma calm Nina's heart.

Nina was still worried that she was pacing on the terrace, Erick who was there noticed Nina who was confused.

"What's the matter Nin, you look so anxious, is there a problem with Ronald?" ask Erick.

"Ronald has not heard from Rick, my mind suddenly becomes bad" said Nina.

"You pray there, ask God for guidance" said Erick.

"Thank you Rick, I go in first" Nina followed Erick's advice she calmed down with prayers and begged his Lord for directions.

Ronald's phone was turned on after charging. Nina tries to call back her husband's phone, she is relieved when a connecting tone is heard on her phone.

"Honey, where are you, why can't your phone be reached from earlier?" Nina immediately leaned in with various questions when Ronald's phone was picked up.

"Sorry who's this with?" someone Nina didn't know answered Ronald's phone.

"Look Mom, your husband is in the hospital currently in critical condition" the police officer explained to Nina what happened to her husband.

Nina falls, she collapses to hear bad news that befalls her husband, Nina's voice falls heard by Dayat and Erick they run to Nina's room and find Nina lying on the floor of her room.

"What's wrong, Mother?" Dayat shook Nina's fainted body.

Erick helps Dayat lift Nina's body into the bed, Erick picks up Nina's cell phone still connected, he listens and asks the person who turns out to be a police officer talking to Nina.

"Well, you try to call Nina's parents, tell them about the family in Jakarta that Ronald is now in the hospital," Erick told Dayat to call his family.

Families in Jakarta were immediately in an uproar when they heard the disaster that befell Ronald. Ronald's parents as well as Nina's family immediately went to the hospital where Ronald was treated.

At the hospital the police were still guarding at the door of Ronald's treatment room, after the family came they were asked to provide information and the police conducted an investigation into what had happened to Ronald.

Elsewhere Nina who realized from her stupor she immediately cried, hearing Dayat's explanation, Erick was still faithfully waiting for her she could not bear to leave Nina who was hit.

"I have to go home Yat, I have to see the state of my husband," Nina sobbed.

"Well tomorrow Ma'am go home to Jakarta, but can you go home alone?" ask Dayat.

"Let me drive, you just take care of who's here after Nina meets her family I'm straight back here" said Erick volunteered.

"Well, how are you?" ask Dayat.

Nina nodded in agreement at that time she was really upset and could not think clearly, she just wanted to quickly meet with Ronald her husband.

Dayat booked a ticket for tomorrow's flight, Nina was going to Jakarta to be escorted by Erick, Mbah Darmi was very sad to see his grandson who had just a few days look happy now he was back sad.

"Sabar Nduk, Istighfar yo," Mbah Darmi stroked Nina's head.

"Yes Nin, you must be patient in asking God for help, you can certainly go through this," said Erick, he looked compassionately at the woman who always made her heart beat when they looked at each other.

"I'm done, morning plane is Rick," Dayat told Erick the scheduled departure of his plane.

"Ok I go home first yes, tomorrow morning I come here again, Nina you are strong yes," Erick said goodbye because it was also late at night.

Nina slept with Darmi's mother, the old man could not bear to let his grandson alone in such a sad condition. Nina tries to sleep even though her mind is far away.

**********

The morning Erick came early, Nina was also getting ready she was impatient to see Ronald, she was very anxious to think about the situation of her husband.

"Well we're leaving, where's your hijab?" ask Erick.

Nina just fell silent, Erick went into Nina's room and took the hijab in the chair, then dressed it to Nina, Nina just followed and followed Erick.

They left for the airport delivered by Dayat's father, while Dayat had to work he did not take them, Erick also told his employees that he would go to Jakarta for three days, Erick plans to visit his family after delivering Nina.

On the way Nina just kept quiet not talking, fortunately there was Erick who drove her, she was like an undead, her mind was empty and her heart was injured.

Inside the plane Nina was also still silent, for some reason there was a sense of sadness in Erick's heart to see the woman grieving like this. Erick dared to touch Nina's hand and held her tightly.

Nina turned to look at Erick when she realized Erick was holding his hand, their eyes clashed with each other, Nina's tears flowed back she held back her sobbing sound.

Erick rubbed Nina's tears and subconsciously hugged Nina, Nina flinched but helplessly resisted the embrace, there was a strange feeling running through her heart, the feeling that he had buried deep with the loss of Erick's memory.

"I will always be by your side Nina" whispered Erick.

Nina tries to control herself she lets go of Erick's embrace and looks at the clouds from behind the glass window of the plane, Erick realizes his mistake she cursed herself in a heart so brash as to have hugged people's wives.

"I'm sorry Nin" said Erick.

Nina just nodded without looking at Erick's face anymore, both of them dissolved in their respective minds, Nina did not want in a moment like this considering her past with Erick, she said, he belonged to Ronald until the end of his life.

Their plane arrives in Jakarta, Nina and Erick continue their journey to the hospital where Ronald was treated, Ronald has been moved to a hospital with more complete facilities choice Ronald family.
