The Heart of Old Menjakaka
47. Let him die
"Om handsome!"
Yes, he is Steven. The image rounded her eyes when she saw her husband sitting on Udin's body and strangling his neck with both hands.
"I've been warned to stay away from Citra .. but you're still approaching it!" shouts Steven wrathfully. His jaw was hardened, his face was red and his eyes glared sharply at the man who had now opened his eyes due to the pain in his neck.
Citra quickly got down from the chair, then pulled Steven's hand as hard as she could to stop her husband's violence. "Om let go of Udin, he could die!"
Seeing that Udin's face had started to pale, Citra did not want if something happened and it would endanger Steven as well.
"Let him die!" shouts Steven who does not care about the fate of the man. Clearly, now that his entire soul had been filled with emotion, his chest felt hot as if it was burning. Likewise with the two eggs, twitching like they want to break.
"Gosh, what are you doing?" asked a man who had just passed by in shock. He was the first person to see the incident and made some people look and immediately dropped to approach Steven.
They helped stop the action. Four men pulled Steven's arm, one arm two people until finally managed to release the strong grip of his hand.
"Look take him to the hospital" said one of the men, whom the others had called.
Udin's face was completely pale, his glaring eyes were now slowly closed. Whether he had lost his life or not, but clearly now the three men lifted his body and ran away.
Steven immediately stood up while adjusting his severed breath, then he turned to Citra. The girl's face was in shock, especially as her entire body trembled, afraid that Udin would be gone.
"You went to see Udin without my permission? Why do you have so much for me, Cit!" shouts Steven while holding hands Image that feels vibrating. His hand was soft even though his face looked so sad.
"I'm not going with—"
"Good night" said a man who suddenly approached. Citra and Steven turned to him and immediately Citra's eyes rounded when the person was a police officer. He came not alone, but with his friend who was wearing the same uniform, standing beside him.
"Did that brother strangle a young man in black?" he asked while looking at Steven. The handsome man only nodded then rubbed his sweaty face.
"Can you come with me to the police station?"
"Don't imprison Om Ganteng, Om Policeman!" The image immediately replied with a face of fear and a quick somersault.
"We want to ask for his information, miss. Come with us." The uniformed man immediately blocked Steven's left wrist, and the other policeman blocked the right wrist until Steven's hand-held Citra slipped off. Then the two pulled Steven, taking him along.
The image immediately ran and hugged Steven's body from behind. Not long after that she cried too.
"I beg you not to imprison Om Ganteng, Om Policeman. I don't want to live alone."
"Miss calm down first, you can come with us to the police station."
One of the policemen was about to pull the circular arm of Citra on Steven's stomach, but Steven quickly said, "Let it be like that, he's crying!"
The policeman nodded. They finally walked together. Steven actually felt the distress in his steps because Citra was behind and felt tightly hugging him. But it felt to let go of that hug Steven was unwilling.

On the way, Citra, who is now sitting in the back seat of a police car with Steven, is crying incessantly. She felt very scared when her husband was in jail.
"Miss, don't cry" said one of the policemen in front. Sit next to his driving partner. He held out a box of tissue towards Citra but quickly pushed her away.
"But I'm scared, Om." The image immediately hugged Steven's body and then kissed his chest. Steven immediately replied and kissed the top of his hair. Her chest that was hot now feels better, also with her eggs.

"Just don't have to talk. What was the reason you strangled Udin Jamaluddin's brother?" ask the policeman who is sitting in front of Steven. Next to the man was his partner, and next to Steven was Citra. The girl had not cried, only since then did not let loose to hug her husband's body.
"I hate him" replied Steven flatly.
"Boy hate to kill him?"
"I had no intention of killing him, but I had warned him not to approach Citra. But he just approached her and took her away!" obviously Steven with both hands clenched over the thighs.
"What Image is this Miss?" The policeman raised his chin towards the image which Steven called out. "What is the relationship between Mr and Miss? A boyfriend?"
"Suami's wife."
"Oh, so Miss Citra cheated on you behind the jealous Father and then strangled Udin's brother's neck?" The man immediately concluded a case, but quickly both immediately protested.
"I'm not cheating!" resolutely Citra, she immediately let go of her embrace of Steven and looked at the police in front of him.
"I'm not jealous!" firmly Steven. The two spoke simultaneously and immediately raised their eyes. "However you cheated on me, Citra!" his yell.
"I'm not cheating!" firmly Citra while shaking her head quickly. "What's the same Udin, I don't like him."
"Don't lie! Obviously I've caught you and you've left without my permission!" angry Steven while glaring.
"Without permission what? Om Tegar had called Om and I also went with him," Citra explained as it was.
"No need to take that crazy Ommu treasure! It's obvious you went with Udin and I saw him in person!" concluded Steven with full of emotion, at all he does not believe in Citra. What he believed was what he saw.
"Oath to Allah, Om. I went with Om Hardcore. If Om doesn't believe Om can call him."
"I don't have the number, you're the one who calls."
The image takes his phone in a pants pocket, then gives it to Steven. "Hapeku lowbet and in my case there is no number Om Tegar."
"No excuses for you, Cit!"
"Yes, this is the hape from Om. If you don't believe check aja—"
"Hadeeeh ...!" complained one of the policemen while patting the jidat. His ears felt buzzing and hot due to the quarrel between the two. "Here the problem is that Udin's brother is strangled. Why are you guys making a noise?"
The policeman looked at Citra and Steven alternately, then stopped looking at Steven. "Do you know .. Now Udin's brother is in the hospital. His condition was critical and the doctor said two of his left upper teeth were broken" the police said, leading Citra to round her eyes.
Unlike Citra who again seemed shocked to respond to Udin's condition, Steven was just plain acting, even no expression at all.
...Geez pity Udin 🤧...
