THE PENANCE: THE PEBINOR
TP - 29

Zael smiled cynically. "I'll plan it. We can live together forever. If you want, I'll take you to Germany."

Yunita looked back at Zael. The man immediately changed his expression to that of a bucolic man.

"Why are you saying this? You don't think about your fiance's feelings? I still love my husband." Yunita looked sad.

Zael looked sad. "Looks like your husband's a good man. He's very lucky to have a beautiful and loyal wife like you. Of course you don't want him killed, do you?"

Yunita looked sad. I killed him, I killed Farhan.

** Flashback **

"Then, I have to get rid of your husband to get you" Faidan said.

Yunita surprised. "You crazy? He's your brother."

Faidan cupped Yunita's face. "I've planned it. We can live forever. If you want, I'll take you to Germany."

Yunita seemed to think.

That night Faidan was in the car chasing Farhan's car. He pulled out his gun. The man, who was standing on the edge of the ravine, shot Farhan's car and exploded.

Yunita pays an assassin and a few bouncers to kill her own husband.

That's the real thing.

** end Flashback **

After dinner with Zael, Yunita returns home. Faidan is home. The man looked at his wife.

"Where are you from?" Ask Faidan.

"Dining with a client. She's the buyer of my new dress and tuxedo" Yunita replied then passed.

Faidan looked suspicious. "Yunita."

The woman's steps stopped. He looked at Faidan. The man gave me an invitation card.

"Mr Arnav Haden invited us to his birthday. We have to come, he's my client who I respect the most" Faidan said.

"Sure, we should come." Yunita continued her steps up the stairs.

In the middle of the night, Yunita and Faidan seemed to be sleeping soundly. Suddenly smoke filled the room. Yunita woke up and was surprised to see the flames.

Her husband got up and touched Yunita's shoulder. "You promised you'd live like me, right?"

Yunita was surprised to hear a different voice which was certainly not Faidan's voice. He turned his head, his eyes widened looking at Farhan who was looking at him with a face full of blood and frightening.

"Let's die together."

"No!" Yunita pushed Farhan then ran out of the room, but flames were everywhere. Smells of fuel everywhere. Suddenly someone grabbed her hair. That man was Farhan.

"Dead you!" Farhan overcame Yunita and strangled the woman's neck. He splashed something onto Yunita's arm. Not water or anything, but gasoline. The fire grabbed his arm.

Yunita screamed in heat. He tried to escape from Farhan who tried to kill him.

"Don't! Don't kill me!"

"Yunita?"

Yunita woke up and saw Faidan was staring in wonder at her. The woman looked around. There was no fire, but he still smelled the smell of gasoline and the trembling sound of flames burning down his house.

"You had a bad dream?" Ask Faidan.

Yunita hugged her husband while crying. "I dreamed Farhan killed me. He's so scary."

Faidan rubbed his wife's hair. "He's dead, I'm here."

Yunita still looked frightened. He cried sobbing in Faidan's arms.

Looking at the spark wounds on Yunita's arms, Faidan looked puzzled. "You hurt? What the hell happened to you?"

Yunita let go of her embrace. "You mean?"

"It." Faidan touched Yunita's arm.

"God." The woman was surprised to see the wound on her arm. "How can...."
