"Honey. How about we get your foot therapy out of the country? maybe there's a lot of sophisticated medical equipment. So your legs can heal quickly," said Meiza who wants to give her husband encouragement.
"Autside the country?" ask Ilyas.
"Yes. We'll find the best hospital anywhere." Answer Meiza.
"What if going abroad will be safe? Meiza must be bored at home. I can't keep him locked up. Want to get to when? I must immediately speak with papa and Rakha, "inner Ilyas.
"I will obey as long as it's good for me. But baby, can you arrange for me to talk to papa and Uda Rakha as soon as possible?" ask Ilyas.
"What's wrong? is this about terror" asked Meiza.
"Emm." Ilyas nodded.
"Why are you so scared. If God hadn't put us to death, we wouldn't have died" Meiza said, clasping her husband's hand.
"Honey. It concerns your safety and our children. If he's targeting me, of course I don't have a problem. But he already said that he wanted to target you and the kids. If that happens, I really don't want to live in this world anymore" Ilyas said, clasping Meiza's hand.
"alright. We'll talk about this with papa soon. So that the people from the base can protect us. We can't stay at home continuously" Meiza said.
"If indeed going abroad can be safe, we go abroad only. But shut down all access to information about our departure abroad" Ilyas said.
"Yes, we'll talk about it later. But who are they anyway? why would you target me? do you have any enemies?" queried.
"It's not me. Papa Ezra and Mama Marinka." Answer Ilyas.
"Ap-What? how can? what grudges are they against my family? ask Meiza curiously.
"Later we will discuss with papa and uda Rakha only. You don't know how dangerous this guy is" Ilyas said.
"alright. We'll talk to them about this soon. Looks like you really need to go abroad for treatment, so that you recover quickly,"
"Thank you for being faithful to this flawed me. I'm...."
"Stttttt. Maybe in the eyes of people you are indeed disabled. But in my eyes you are the perfect man" Meiza said.
Ilyas grasped both of Meiza's hands and then kissed her in turn.
"I've never misjudged a woman I'm so lucky to have chosen you in my life" Ilyas said.
*****
"What are you collecting us here?" ask Rakha.
"Lord. The plan was to take Ilyas out of the country. But two days ago Ilyas got a terror call from someone who used Ilyas to hurt Moza,"
"Oh yeah? what does he want to do this time?" ezra asked looking relaxed.
"We did forget about the incident because it was Moza's request. After all, there has been no movement from them for the past 6 months. So why did he suddenly want to harm Meiza? what exactly is he planning? what is your relationship with that person?" ask Rakha.
"This time he wanted to target me and Meiza, because he felt I was betrayed. She was purposely waiting for me to wake up, and wanted to hurt meiza so I could suffer for it."
"I've been an orphan since I was 10. I don't have any more brothers either. Maybe that's why he thinks I'm the most suitable candidate for brainwashing,"
"I've been at the doctrine of his act of revenge on the Hawiranata family for many years. A long-standing past grudge. Until I finally he went to school to become a doctor."
"To be honest I really think of him as an older brother, even though we have no blood relation. But the initial intentions were wrong, never to bring us closer. Because he just thinks of me as his revenge pawn. He wants me to pay for his services by taking down the Hawiranata family one by one."
"Actually my first target was Meiza. But I was so grateful, because what was once a killing intent, I actually fell in love with him. Until the target changed to Moza, it was because he sent another messenger to watch over me. Actually what I did was very contrary to my conscience. I thought he was gonna tell me to fuck this family up. But I was surprised, because it turned out that he wanted to use me to kill,"
Ilyas clasped Meiza's hand tightly and kissed her.
"I'm so grateful to be in love with Meiza. He is like my light, which was once in darkness. And it turns out my choice was never wrong, she didn't leave me even though I'm no longer perfect."
"What revenge do you mean?" ask Rakha.
"About 21 years ago, did you ever put someone in jail in S? and in the end the man went to prison and was executed" asked Ilyas.
"What do you mean Satyo?" ask Ezra.
"Yes. Deryl is the first son of Satyo's uncle. He wants to avenge his father's death." Answer Ilyas.
Ezra was stunned when he heard that. Not much different from Ezra, Rakhapun is also the same. He still remembers the incident 21 years ago even though he was a child. Because indirectly he also participated in punishing Satyo.
But suddenly the surprised face turned into laughter. Ezra laughed so hard. But to Ilyas the laughter sounded horrible. But as the laughter subsided, Ezra's gaze turned coldly piercing.
The Flasback
"Dad, don't take my father, '" a 13-year-old boy screamed hysterically as two policemen grabbed Satyo at his residence.
Ezra paused for a moment, when he saw Deryl being held by his men. The boy seemed to be struggling.
"Your father made a little mistake. A little bit of punishment. You're the son, you have to be able to protect your family when your father isn't around" Ezra said as he patted the boy's cheek.
"Take him off!" Ezra tells his men to release Deryl.
Ezra then got into his black car behind him followed by a prisoner car carrying satyo with handcuffed hands.
"Dad.dad..." Deryl shouted while chasing the police car until it fell down.
During the sentencing hearing, Deryl was also present to know her father's final verdict. He was the one who screamed the most hysterically, as the judge sentenced Satyo to death. Ezra still remembered the child's hateful look at him. A look full of resentment and anger.
