THE FRATERNITY
Bereft

Dhira looked at his watch. Then he smiled.

"In a moment," said Dhira.

"Dhira. Please stop all this. I love you and I love Utari too. You two are very precious in my life. I went back to Utari, not that I don't care about you anymore. We'll stay together. I'll never leave you, Dhira! Please let Adam go. He's innocent." Evan begged Dhira.

"But the game has already begun, Van! And I can't stop it" Dhira replied.

"There's still three minutes left and this wife of yours can go inside and save your own son. But...!" the word Dhira stopped.

"But what, Dhira?" ask Evan.

"I'm not sure if this wife of yours will make it inside" Dhira replied casually.

DEG!

They were all shocked to hear Dhira's words.

"You will not succeed in saving my beloved son, Utari!" nista Dhira's.

"I'm gonna do it. I'm going to save my son!" serami Utari's.

"alright. Please enter that warehouse. And save your son immediately" said Dhira smiling.

Utari set her foot towards the warehouse where her son was held. Dhira has started counting down.

DUUAAAARR!

"Yesammmmm!" hysterical yell at them all.

The warehouse exploded with a terrible explosion.

"SAT! YAMMMMMMM!" utari shouted as she watched the warehouse explode and burn. Utari fell weakly on the ground.

"No. My son cannot leave me. He can't leave. Adam!" the crying Utari broke.

Ardi and Harsha approached Utari and hugged her tightly. They cry hysterically.

"A-aaaammm! Nooo!" garry and Danish's cries broke. They fell weakly on the ground.

"Adam. hiks." Ardi and Harsha cried sobbing.

They're all crying. They blamed themselves for failing to save their beloved sister.

THE PLAAKK!

THE PLAAKK!

A SREEKK!

Evan slapped hard on Dhira's cheek and also pulled her hair firmly. Evan looked at her.

"How dare you do that, Dhira! You fucking cheap chick. Women do not know themselves. I'm sorry I married you. I thought you were a good woman and would accept my flaws. Turns out I was wrong. You would have the heart to kill my youngest son this way. Where's your brain, huh?!" snapped Evan.

Evan pushes strong Dhira's body so that Dhira's body fell down. After that Evan approached Utari, his wife.

Ardi and Harsha let go of Utari's embrace. Evan hugged Utari, his wife.

Dhira smiled cynically. And his eyes looked at Utari and Evan who were hugging. Then Dhira pulled out his gun which he had hidden behind his shirt. Then he pointed the muzzle of the gun towards Utari.

DOR'S! DOR'S!

The two bullets were lodged in Dhira's left chest and stomach. The shooter was Evan's mother, Amirah.

"Dhira/Mama!" yelled Evan, Utari, Garry and Danish.

"You've dared to kill my granddaughter. And you want to kill my daughter-in-law too. I'm not gonna let that happen. So you better get out of this world!" amirah shouted as she looked at Dhira's lifeless body.

"Grandmother" said Garry and Danish.

Evan approached his mother and then took the gun that was still held by his mother. The gun was hidden behind his body. Evan hugged his mother.

"It's okay? Everything will be fine" Evan said as he watched his mother's hand tremble.

Amirah looked at her son and daughter-in-law. "I'm sorry mom. Forgive mom. Again mother made you part with your youngest son, Van! You just met him and now you're separated again. But this time...!" amirab's tears broke. Amirah lowered her head not daring to look at the faces of her son and daughter-in-law.

"Mom" called Utari and her hand touched Amirah's chin and lifted her up to see her mother-in-law's face." Never mind. You don't have to apologize to me repeatedly. I have forgiven my mother for a long time. I have never hated you" Utari said with her tears soaking her pretty face.

"But you've lost your son Utari and it's mother's fault" Amirah said.

When Utari wants to reply to her in-laws. Danish cut it first.

Danish stood up and stared at Amirah the Grandmother.

"Yes. This is a mistake, Grandma! You caused all this to happen. You took my happiness from childhood. You separated me from my birth mother and my sister. You're the one who made me the bad guy out there. You've always made me rebel against Papa. And now I'm losing my sister. It's all because of you. hiks!" danish shouted while pointing towards Amirah. Danish crying broke.

All could only be silent to hear complaints and disappointment from Danish. No exception Evan. Usually he was always angry with his son Danish, every son was disrespectful to his mother. But this time he was silent and confirmed what his son said.

"I hate you.. Ihate you. And I will never forgive you. And from today you're not my grandmother anymore. And I'm not your grandson!" yell Danish.

After saying that, Danish left them all. Danish really hated her grandmother. He would never forgive his grandmother's mistakes. Yesterday he was able to accept and forgive the mistakes of his grandmother. But the hatred re-emerged when he saw his beloved sister gone for good. And it was caused by her grandmother and stepmother.

"Danish!" yelled at his friends and they all went after Danish.

"Adam!" lirih Arka, Kenzie, Sakha and Gala. They're crying.

Arka, Kenzie, Sakha and Gala are devastated by what happened to Adam. They loved Adam very much, and now they have to part forever with Adam.

"Pa, Ma! We better go home. We call the police to take care of this and bring Adam's body home." Garry spoke faltering as he held back his cries.

All of them with weak footsteps and still loyal tears flowed away from the location. Utari the mother looked back.

"Adam, Mama's favorite son. I'm sorry, dear. Sorry Mama. I promise you, you will always be in my heart. You will never forget me in every prayer. Forever!" lirih Utari's.

"Adam, Papa's dear son. Papa promised you that he will remember your name every day. Papa promised you would take care of your mother and not make her cry again. Papa would be a good husband to a woman whom Adam loved so much. Goodbye dear."

Evan cried when he said those words. His heart was broken a second time when he had to part with his youngest son. And this goodbye is forever.

"Adam.. hiks!" Ardi and Harsha cried sobbing.

They all left Adam's captivity site in tears and muttered words of affection and words of goodbyes to the person they so loved.
