The Agent's Shadow Bed
In Bella's house

Alzam had to be out of town for a few days. He left Dara to Bella. There are business matters to be taken care of. Alzam was packing his luggage. Dara sat in a wheelchair looking at him. He couldn't help Alzam with his stuff.

"Mas, I'm sorry I can't help you with the repairs" Dara said.

"It's okay, baby, even just a little bit" said Alzam while tidying up his goods.

"Why did you just bring a little shirt?" tanya Dara saw some clothes in the open suitcase on the floor.

"Yes, I was only three days out of town so there was no need to bring a lot of clothes" Alzam replied. He couldn't bear to leave Dara for too long. Moreover, there was no Emira that he could rely on.

"Aren't you carrying a jacket or sweater?the air is cold" said Dara.

"Yes yes, thank you very much. But maybe the sweater alone, the jacket is too thick" said Alzam.

"Yes Mas" replied Dara smiling.

"Mas do not forget to bring vitamins and some drugs as well yes," said Dara. Although she couldn't help her husband at least remind him of what he had to bring.

"Vitamin Aja Dara, the cure is not necessary," replied Alzam.

"Yes," said Dara.

Alzam stuffed everything in his black suitcase.

"Not bring jeans? "asked Dara.

"No, I only bring material pants for meetings with clients" replied Alzam.

Alzam was busy taking care of the needs to carry it, seeing that Dara so remembered first when he was still healthy. Dara always prepared all her departure to go out of town. But now he just kept watching from a distance.

When she finished, Alzam approached Dara, holding her hand. Staring at Dara's eyes that look sad and teary.

"Why are you?" ask Alzam.

"I miss when I used to take care of all your needs" replied Dara.

"Honey, for me right now what matters most is your health, it's worth more than anything" Alzam replied.

Dara shed her tears. I could not bear to hear Alzam's explanation. He feels useless. But her husband always loved and understood her condition.

"I also always miss the times we were together, when you smiled happily" Alzam said.

"Now your face is paler, I'm like a corpse, bothering you," said Dara.

Alzam held Dara's cheek with both hands. Removing the tears that fell on her cheeks.

"Don't cry anymore, I want to see that smile forever" Alzam said.

Dara smiled. Even though his heart was wounded.

"You're the one who always patiently takes care of me. Maybe if other men had abandoned me, kicked me out of sickness and spent a lot of money" Dara said.

"I cannot leave you or drive you out, because I love you" said Alzam.

"Thank you, I don't know what my life would be like without you, let alone I no longer have a family. Maybe I'll die in solitude" said Dara.

Alzam. He could feel the sadness his wife felt.

"But you made me have family and shelter. You've been taking care of me for five years. I'm sure you must be very tired" said Dara.

"From the first time we met I loved you and promised to take care of you. So I always held onto those words. Everything I do is because I love you" replied Alzam.

They also vent all the feelings that have been felt so far. A long time they spent together in joy and sorrow. Dara is happy to have Alzam in her life. I don't know what his fate would be like if there were no Alzam.

Alzam left Dara out of town. Dara lives at home with Bella as the one who takes care of her. Bella meets Dara who is watching television in her room. Just entering Bella is already very dislike for Dara, she is thinking to get rid of Dara from Alzam's life.

"You're bored not just in the room?" ask Bella.

"No, I've been used to being in the room all day" replied Dara.

"You don't want to go to the market. Exciting, many sellers and buyers who are making buying and selling transactions" said Bella.

"Markets? I've never been to the market. Sounds interesting. I want to come to the market with you, Bella" said Dara.

"Okay, let's go to the market now" Bella said.

"Stupid, I want to get rid of you forever Dara" Bella said in her heart.

Bella invites Dara to go to the market. The market conditions are crowded. Dara was so excited to see it. She asks Bella to shop for vegetables at the market. While Dara is busy choosing vegetables, Bella takes Dara's bag and leaves Dara alone in the market.

"This market is very far from Alzam's house, with me taking his bag, he won't be able to come back. Most people will also think he is a begging person or a mad person. Goodbye Dara, die quickly so that Alzam is mine" said Bella.

After Dara was satisfied choosing the vegetable, she wanted to pay for it. She was looking for her bag not there, Bella was not next to her. Dara confusion. He pushed his wheelchair in search of Bella.

"Bella where are you going? Why doesn't he exist? My bag doesn't exist either, how is this?" Dara. He pushed his wheelchair out of that market, some people helped him out of that market. Dara's walking down the street looking for Bella. He was desperate and exhausted from pushing his wheelchair.

Dara was crying on the side of the road. He didn't really know the area he was in right now. Moreover, he did not have the money or mobile phone to contact Alzam.

There were some street thugs looking at Dara crying in the streets.

"Bro, maybe even this girl we made the beggar-begging looks ngenes surely many people will give money."

"Betul Bro, we can use him."

They approached Dara and forced her to come with him. Dara was taken to their basecamp. He was dressed up with charcoal and torn up his clothes to make it look more attractive so that people were pitying him and giving him a lot of money.

"Hey lady, from now on you have to make money for us if you still want to live."

"Take me off, please," asked Dara.

"Darling to let you go, you're our gold mine from now on."

"Now you're begging on the streets okay."

"I don't want to beg, it's a bad thing" Dara replied.

"Do not want to know, you follow my orders or want to die here too," said the thug while carrying a knife.

Seeing the thug carrying a knife, Dara finally wanted to obey the will of the thug. The two thugs drove Dara to the highway.

"You ask, we're watching you from here. Watch out for you daring to run away or ask someone else for help."

Dara pushed her wheelchair while begging to everyone who walked on the highway. The two thugs were watching Dara from a distance.
