The Bride of the Curse Repellent
Unexpected helper

For a moment Sherina was still fixated, not yet fully digesting and understanding the situation. He thought, it was a coincidence if the person who came to help him was Violet who was a journalist who was quite famous in the mass media and social media.

"Are you okay?" ask Violet again.

Immediately Sherina awoke from the daydream. "Eh, I-I'm fine. Thank you very much! But how can you help me?"

"Ah, it just so happens that my apartment is not far from here. I was going to buy something in a mini market that was still open. But on the way home, I accidentally saw someone running and being chased. Then I followed him, and who would have thought that guy was you. I immediately left my groceries in front of the alley and took this wood. And ... it's an honor for me to still be recognized by you," said Violet with a faint smile.

"Ehmm .. Don't be. Our first meeting at the mall was indeed less pleasant. But thank God you care and help me. I'm really grateful, don't know what if you don't hit this jerk guy" Sherina said awkwardly.

"Together, helping others is our duty as human beings. Oh, ja. The streets are deserted, but all I know is that there is rarely any crime here. And again .. You're the son-in-law of the Bashara family. I think these nights you should be at home. What are you doing here alone, even if some criminal wants to harm you?" violet asked curiously. His nature as a journalist in extracting as much information as possible was suddenly called.

"I'll tell you about it later! We better go find a safe place first! You see, the one who's after me isn't just one!" take Sherina who realizes that she is still in a dangerous situation.

"What?! How many people are after you?!" violet asked with eyes widened in shock.

"I don't know how much exactly. But clearly, there were 3 people who intercepted me. 2 others were still preoccupied by my driver. More details I'll tell you later, now let's find a safe place and call the police!" call Sherina again.

"Well, I know a safe place near here!" Violet nodded in agreement, but as the two of them were about to exit the narrow alley. Suddenly, a stranger came to intercept them.

"Damn!" sherina Aspat. He knew very well that the man standing at the end of the alley was the one who had been ganged up on his driver, Roy. Sherina's eyes were perfectly rounded when she saw a bloody dagger in the man's right hand. He thought, does the bloodstain belong to Roy? How's he doing now? Could Roy not have survived? Then what about the fate of himself, will it be the same fate as the driver who is not yet clear?

"Cih, basic jal*ng! It turns out you're hiding here!" snapped the man. His anger grew when he realized his partner had been lying unconscious.

"Reverse!" threaten Violet while pointing at a piece of wood that has never been separated from her hand since. He pretended that being brave and confident could defeat this man, despite the fact that he felt fear and lack of confidence.

"...." - ".Sherina was speechless, her brain seemed to stop working because it was too nervous. Even though he was no longer alone, he was still trembling in fear. Behind him was only a dead end, he could only pray for safety and hide behind Violet's back.

"Hey, go! This has nothing to do with you! My target is the woman behind you! If you leave well, I promise I won't hurt you!" he said with an arrogant grin. This man really felt that these two women were no match for him.

"No! I'm not leaving my friend!" violet cried without hesitation.

"Vi-Violet ..." - Sherina. It was shocking when she heard that Violet had admitted herself as a friend. They have met twice. Deep down, Sherina was touched. Of the many people who hate him, it turns out there are still those who care and want to protect him.

"Ck, it turns out to be true. Most beautiful women have no brains. I gave you a good choice, but I didn't want to. Then don't blame me for being cruel!"

After clucking annoyed and threateningly, this man directly advanced towards Violet who was challenging him. With her sharp dagger, she seemed intent on using that taper to injure Violet. However, on the one hand Violet also did not remain silent. Armed with a stick, he stepped forward and welcomed the man's attack.

BAGHS! BUGH!

Violet swung the wooden bar with the origin. Even so, this indiscriminate attack was also dangerous due to its longer range as well as its hard wood. This man felt quite the pain when several wooden swings hit his body.

"Damn it!" This man's emotions were provoked, he was getting annoyed with every attack he received. Now, he held tightly to his dagger in order to strike back quickly.

CRASHES ...

Fresh blood immediately poured out from Violet's right arm. Although agilely managed to avoid a deep fatal attack, still this one incision wound gives the impact of pain is quite good.

"Violet!!!" shouts Sherina who started to panic.

"Shhh ...." Violet hissed softly, the wound she received started to cause a serious pain. "I'm fine" continued Violet again to appease Sherina.

Because of the wound, Violet's movements became increasingly slow. But he hasn't given up. Although his movements became more limited, he still forced himself to endure even though he continued to be pushed back. He could only fend off or dodge, there was no gap for him to give a counterattack.

"Haha, now you're dead!" the snarl was full of arrogance once Violet and Sherina were completely cornered at a dead end.

WIOOOUU .... WIIOO....

There was the sound of police car sirens buzzing loudly. The man who was originally filled with this killing intent suddenly felt panicked. He was in the fog, immediately running out of the alley to save himself from the police.

"Damn!" objurgation.

Sure enough, after he got out of the alley, not far from there immediately greeted with 3 units of police cars. He's drunk, running as fast as possible in no direction so as not to get caught.

Then, came another black car that had just arrived at the back. The man who was driving the car came down, and Vicky was running around and screaming in panic.

"Sherina! Where are you?!" Vicky kept shouting and turned to the left right. As soon as he saw Sherina who had just come out of the alley. He immediately ran over and hugged his wife tightly.

"Thank God I found you! You okay?" vicky asked with a slightly trembling tone. He was very happy because the bad thing he was worried about did not happen.

"I-i ...." Sherina. Her tears began to fall on their own. The fear that she had been enduring since, she could finally overflow once she was in the arms of her husband which gave her a sense of security.

"What's wrong, just calm yourself down, okay?" persuade Vicky with a bitter smile. He understood and felt sorry for his wife who had just survived the death threat.

"Sir, there's still one person in there!" violet told police. He is more able to read the situation and does not matter because his existence was ignored.

"People? She's a victim too?!" ask one of the police.

"No, but he's one of those criminal gangs. I was lucky to have knocked him unconscious. Quickly catch him before he wakes up!" violet replied a little annoyed.

"Ah, b-good! But that wound on your hand should be treated quickly!" The police then invited a colleague again to check the conditions in the alley.

A few minutes later Sherina was calm. He has also been told that his driver did not have serious life-threatening injuries, but Roy had to be taken to hospital for treatment for multiple bruises and cuts.

"Drink first" said Vicky, offering a bottle of mineral water. Sherina nodded then drank a mouthful.

"Can the madam tell us?" ask one of the policemen who had prepared the paper and pen to take notes.

"Can ... I'll explain it as I see." Sherina then told me everything she had. Starting from being attacked suddenly to the time when he would be harassed and then helped by Violet.

"Thank you for the explanation the Madam gave, we will investigate the case further. We retreat to report immediately to the center."

"Well, thank you so much for tonight" said Vicky.

"Haha, this is indeed our duty as law enforcement officers. Anytime Mr. Vicky needs please contact us!"

A group of policemen also left. Leaving those who had been guarded by 3 bodyguards that Vicky had brought from the residence.

"Currently, what is obligation? Though directly act fast just because asked by the conglomerate! Just try it if ordinary citizens, it is definitely too late! You licker!" violet's nagging with a cynical look. As a journalist, of course, he is very critical about these kinds of things.

"Vicky, how did you know I was here?" ask Sherina curiously.

"Ah, I haven't told you. Actually, I called you, and then your tumben quickly answered. But when I wanted to talk, I heard the voice of a strange man who was threatening you. My gut feeling was bad, I immediately tracked down your phone's GPS and asked the police for help. And then you know for yourself what happened ..." explains Vicky.

"Eh, so the one who called me earlier was you?!" Sherina reaches into his pocket to retrieve his phone, checks his call history and it turns out to be true that Vicky called him.

"Jeez Vicky .. When you called me I was actually hiding. Because of the ringtone of my phone, I got caught! I want to be raped! But luckily there was Violet who helped me in time!" moaning Sherina with bulging cheeks.

"Where do I know .. but I also came with help on time!" Vicky twitched, he suddenly looked towards Violet to change the subject. "Oh yeah! I'm not thanking you yet! Thank you so much for helping my wife!"

"Yes, equally. Make this a lesson for you as well, don't let your wife out all night alone" Violet replied with a look of disdain.

"...." - ".Vicky was silent, Violet's words really felt piercing to him. He could not argue that this was also his fault for being negligent on his wife's safety.

Suddenly Sherina stood up and clasped Violet's hands together. "I thank you again! Where do you live? Let me take you home!"

Violet was silent for a moment, she smiled faintly and removed her hand from Sherina. "No need, my apartment is just up ahead. I can go home by myself. See you next day, if there's a chance!" he continued, who then left while waving his hands.

"Ah .. okay ...." Sherina stared at Violet's departure with a slightly unwilling look.

"Sherina, why do you care so much about her? Are you not suspicious at all? It's just weird that he can help you in time" said Vicky, who suddenly made Sherina stare in confusion.

"uh? If I suspect him it means I'm a self-destructive human being. It is rare to meet someone willing to risk their life to help others. Meanwhile, the brothers themselves even have to kill each other .... I'm sure that the culprit who planned this was someone else. After all there is no grudge whatsoever between me and Violet. We trust the results in the police investigation. Now let's go to the hospital, let's see how Roy is doing!"

"okay." Vicky smiled faintly, embracing Sherina to get in the car together.

After arriving at the hospital and making sure Roy's condition is fine, they then return to the residence. There, Ariana seemed to be waiting anxiously. As for Velix, since he was a child and he had already gone to bed earlier, the events of tonight were kept a secret from him.

Everything still feels fresh in Sherina's memory. Even though he was now completely safe, he still had difficulty closing his eyes. He kept flipping his body over the bed. It was obvious that he was like an agitated person.

"You're not sleepy yet? It's almost two and a half hours" asked Vicky, gently rubbing his wife's head.

Slightly limp, Sherina nodded as she said, "Yes. But it's not about the mastermind behind this incident, about it it's for sure that the culprit is the one who hates me."

"Then what were you thinking?" ask Vicky again.

"On Violet."

"Why him?"

"I feel indebted to him, but I am confused as to how I should repay this favor," Sherina explained with a listless look.

"Gosh, apparently about that. You don't have to think too much about it, you don't know him very well anyway. You don't know what she likes, it's not right if you want to reward her with a gift. But ... Maybe you can invite him to dinner together at the residence, after all there won't be anyone who doesn't need to eat, and you can say thank you properly."

"Eh? Could anyway? What if I have an objection later?" asked Sherina doubtfully.

"Don't worry, did you forget that you've changed so much? I'm sure he won't mind. After all, only invite one person," Vicky replied with a smile.

Sherina smiled instantly. "All right! Since I don't have the number, then I will contact Violet by email! Thanks for your idea, Vicky!"

"Yes, equally. Anyway this is nothing. Well, because the solution to the problem you're thinking about already exists. Now you can sleep!"

"Hehe, okay .. good night!" Sherina closed her eyes comfortably. Her heart felt flowery, for some reason in the bottom of her heart there began to hope to make friends with Violet.

***

"Huff ... alright, it's time to work!" said Violet, who had just finished changing the bandage on her injured right hand last night. She kept the medicine box and then rushed to the workbench, turning on the laptop to prepare to write an interesting article for her to upload.

"Eh?! What'sthis?" Both of Violet's eyes widened when she saw an unusual incoming email notification. And after he had digested every sentence, he seemed surprised to realize the intention of the email sender inviting him to a dinner at the Bashara residence.

"Wah-wah .. was unexpected. Apparently true, yes, no good is in vain. The pure-hearted Sherina sincerely invited me. Of course I will accept! Anyway ... This makes it easier for me to take revenge on Ariana! The time of the greedy woman's destruction is about to come!" muttered Violet with a cynical grin.
