The Tears of Mella
Chapters. 35. General Pranoto's orders

Dul casually enjoyed a cigarette until it ran out. Then he sighed and exhaled her harshly.

"Sir Aaron, did we not remind you that you do not mess around. But you're reporting us to the police station."

"It's good that our friend who received the father's report, if not for sure the father is in even more serious trouble" said Dul.

Then Dul breathed again. It was as if he was setting his heart that seemed to be not okay.

"Thank you for saving my brother. Therefore I hope you do not do things that can endanger the fate of your family" said Dul.

Without explaining everything Dul left Mr. Aaron's house. Without looking back, Dul continued to pass leaving Aaron and his wife who were still confused by Dul's words earlier.

Then Aaron sat back with his wife. Try to talk and find solutions to the problems they face.

Before long, Aaron's old-fashioned phone rang. And there was a foreign number calling him.

"My men will pick you up soon" General Pranoto said from a phone call.

"Sorry sir, haven't there been two days?" asked Mr. Aaron.

"Don't say much, you stay home and wait for my men to pick you up." replied General Pranoto then closed the call violently.

Mr. Aaron just shook his head. Then tell everything to his wife. Just now he told me there was a car in front of his house.

A police officer appeared who had received his report. Without further ado, the police immediately brought Mr. Aaron to meet General Pranoto.

"Sir why do you bring what is my fault sir?" asked Mr. Aaron.

"You will know the answer later after meeting with General Pranoto" he replied briefly.

Then the car drove away, leaving Mr. Aaron's house with his wife who was still loyal in front of the door. Releasing the husband with prayer and tears.

After arriving, Aaron was brought back into the warehouse full of illegal goods at that time. And back to see General Pranoto.

"It turns out you have guts too" said General Pranoto when Mr. Aaron arrived in front of him.

"I'm sorry for my mistake." replied Mr. Aaron.

"Well, out of the three ways I offer what have you chosen to pay for the damages?" asked General Pranoto.

Mr. Aaron could only shake his head. He really could not do what General Pranoto asked.

"Then I'll figure out how to make you pay for the damages. You just have to kill my rivals by suicide bombing." explained the General.

"Bomb suicide ? what does that mean?." asked Aaron.

Then the policeman who picked up Mr. Aaron explained everything. Mr. Harun had to carry out a suicide bombing at a church where someone who was a rival of General Pranoto would be inside the church.

Thus all that has been done by Mr. Aaron will be considered breakeven by General Pranoto. Even Mr. Aaron's family life will be borne by General Pranoto.

"As is often televised that someone commits suicide bombing for the sake of jihad, then you will do the same" the police said.

"But that's not true jihad. I cannot kill innocent people. Wouldn't there be many fatalities in the suicide bombing?" said Mr. Aaron.

"That's none of my business, your job is to do only what I've been told to do without needing to ask or reject it for any reason."

"Tomorrow it's time for you to do that suicide bombing. You have to come to this place, otherwise we will pick you up by force at your house" General Pranoto said.

Then he shook his hand, instructing his men to take Aaron back to his house.

Harun was quickly pulled by one of them and immediately sent back home. On the way he saw Dul with a young boy.

Mr. Aaron asked to be dropped off at that place so that Dul would deliver him back home. Of course it was approved by General Pranoto's men because Dul was also part of them.

But Dul does not realize that Mr. Aaron got out of the car and was about to meet him. As he was about to continue his journey, Aaron approached him.

And General Pranoto's men said that Mr. Harun immediately delivered back to his house. Dul supported him and immediately drove Mr. Aaron back to his house.

"Who was that little boy was he your son?" asked Aaron after gently rubbing the head of the little boy named Gani.

"She's the girl you helped. If you want your family to be safe then do as General Pranoto tells you to do." Dul said.

"How can you say that?" asked Mr. Aaron.

Then Dul told him everything, all the events that befell his brother's family. The tragic death of their daughter and the fate they are now experiencing.

Although Dul was the sister of the woman, he could not help her because Dul knew that the power of General Pranoto had spread to all directions.

Even the police station he can control, that's why his illegal business seems not to be smelled by the police.

Because the police are part of them. Again Dul reminded Mr. Aaron. It is better to be a victim than his family.

Moreover, Mr. Aaron has a daughter. It would be very dangerous for his daughter if General Pranoto knew about it.

Then Mr. Aaron said goodbye so that he could go home immediately without the need to be delivered by Dul.

"No hope you live a long and healthy life always" said Mr. Aaron while gently rubbing Gani's head.

Gani just smiled and nodded, then thanked Mr. Aaron. After that Mr. Aaron continued his steps to return to his home.

Then Mr. Aaron told the wife of General Pranoto's order asking him to carry out a suicide bombing.

The wife who heard could only cry, how she was not saddened to hear the orders given by General Pranoto.

"Our father was willing to be his victim but I never did that. That suicide bomb that Dad's gonna do is gonna cost the lives of not just one."

"Pity for the fate of his innocent life" said Hana while sitting next to the mother who was still sobbing.
