The Tears of Shafira
Chapter 18

“Good then!” erick said, putting both of his hands into his pants pocket.

 “So what are your plans now?”  

“We go straight in, sir, I've calculated it! I will pretend to be a beggar in order to open the gate!” Hendra said as he opened his volvo trunk.

Hendra then took out clothes similar to a tattered woman. He walked right after he finished wearing the outfit including a wig of fake hair.

He followed Erick and the rest of his friends walking behind him.  

They split the two halves and hid themselves behind a wall.

Meanwhile, Hendra knocked on the gate until someone opened it. Then, he pretended to beg for mercy because he had not eaten. The gate of the villa is made of iron that is closed, so that if people will give something, inevitably have to open it.

When the door was open, Hendra pushed forcefully followed by some of his friends, and shuffled the two guards who were there. Because their number was outnumbered the two guards could be crippled quickly.

“Please! Please!” the two men shouted to attract the attention of the other guards.

“Bigger! Silence him!” Erick.

Buk up!

A fist from Hendra floated right next to his jaw making the screaming guard faint instantly.

Erick smiled grinningly looking at her, it turned out that Ardan's escort strength was nothing.

However, the few burly men who heard the screams, knew that someone was forcing their way in and could easily knock out the gatekeepers.

It was also a bodyguard around it, scattering towards the gate and there was an exciting fight there.  

At that moment the guards of the entrance of the villa looked empty. Making Erik can stretch without obstacles to the house even though the door is closed. He managed to enter easily as well, as the waiter just opened the door. He thought that the one who came was his master.

“Who are you!” yelled the waiter while frightened, he blocked Erik's steps from going deeper.

He was worried after realizing that Erick was a stranger he had never seen, but Ardan had advised to be careful and take care of Sapphira.

“Show where Shafira's room is!” erick said while glaring and holding the collar of the maid's shirt.

“I don't know, here there is no such thing as Shafira!” the waiter said he was lying.

Plaque!

Erick slapped the waiter hard until he fell to the floor and heard Shafira screaming from inside his room

“Aibi! Are you all right? What's that sound?” tanya asked Shafira loudly he was a little fit.  

During Shafira's stay with Ardan, her heart was calm, as the man always provided warmth and tenderness.  

He can enjoy food well. So, his body was already a little fresh, and some bruises started to camouflage.

Shafira was well taken care of by nurses and servants until she lived like a queen, pampered. He only needs to restore the condition of the body after injury and lack of nutrients.

Her nausea and vomiting have also been much reduced because doctors gave her medication and vitamins, which can reduce her morning sickles symptoms.

Shafira just got acquainted with the good doctor and also handsome. His name is Riyan. Every day coming to check on his health, the two of them became familiar. Riyan is a pretty understanding person, both to Shafira and Ardan. He is also an obstetrician who is very well known in this city, even once a personal doctor of a very famous businessman, Jack Maholtra.

Erick, who heard his wife's voice, clearly knew where his room was. He went straight up to the second floor where Sapphira was.

Erick stood at the door of the room in amazement, seeing Shafira, who was also getting out of bed. He saw Shafira who was standing looking at him full of surprise and fear.

However, Erick seemed to be bewitched by his wife's once pale and withered face now looks fresher, her long hair neatly combed and wearing thin makeup. The woman was wearing nice clothes that looked elegant. Of course it was Ardan who bought it.

“Mas! Why are you here?” shafira asked as she stepped back. He began to tremble and cold sweat came out until his entire body seemed to freeze in fear.

“Should have been, I asked so why are you here?” the words that came out of Erick's mouth seemed to contradict his sense of sadness.  

In his soul wrestled between wanting anger, hatred, and also admiration into one. He was confused which one he had to take out on his wife first. He saw a clear fear from the look on Shafira's face even the woman's eyes began to tear up.

“Ayo, home!” erick said as he approached Shafira and grabbed one of her hands.

Shafira brushed her husband's hand hard.

“I don't want to!”

At that time, in addition to the fear that was in Shafira's mind was a bad taste for Ardan. It was the man who had helped her and made her body condition much better. He was also worried that if the two men met, they would fight because of him.

She is a peace-loving woman, of course she does not want any fights to happen in front of her.

“Why not want?” snapped Erick who was offended by his wife's attitude.

“Do you feel at home staying here? Do you want to make your late mother angry? Look, this isn't your husband's house, you must have cheated on him .. This is proof that you've cheated on him, right?”

Erick's anger was inevitable, he again pulled Shafira's hand. However, at the same time Ardan appeared in front of the door and stepped closer to Erick quickly.

Then ...

Buk up!

One blow struck Erick's jaw from a fist that Ardan had fired.

However, Erick tilted only a little he was wide-eyed to see Ardan in front of him, rubbing his sore cheek. He wondered why his men could not defeat him.

Unbeknownst to Erick, Ardan arrives with other reinforcements so that he can enter his own home freely. Ardan gets a report of Erick's arrival quickly and he soon returns home in order to save Sagafira.  He was certain that Erick would take the woman by force.

“Do not do as you please! My house! Goddamnit!” yelled Ardan while returning a blow now towards Erick's chest.  

Erick returned Ardan's punch and hit his jaw hard.  

Ardan did not stay silent He returned to avenge Erick's punch with a kick that hit his opponent's stomach. Erick did the same thing he threw a kick that hit the leg until Ardan fell.

Erick bowed to give a punch to his face. Ardan who was at the bottom tried to fight back and also retaliated against the blow he was aiming at the neck.  

But Erick managed to avoid it, his two hands now holding Ardan's collar.

“What did you do to my wife! Did you kidnap her? Huh!” rough snaps.

“Stupid basis! I didn't kidnap her, but I was the one who saved her, she ran away from you, right?” tukas Ardan full of anger.

“Lied you think I believe? Huh!”

“To believe it or not! You can ask Shafira directly, didn't you lock her up? It's natural to run away she's not an animal, she's your wife!”

Hearing Ardan's words, Erick fell silent, knowing that Shafira might have told the man everything.

Instantly, Ardan who saw that Ercik was off guard, he raised his fist again.

“Enough!” shafira shouted as she tried to separate the two men who secretly loved her.

Meanwhile, outside the house, according to Hendra's estimation, indeed they had enough numbers to be able to fight Ardan's bodyguards one-on-one.

The initial fights look balanced, but one by one Ardan's men can be defeated. However, the unavoidable thing was, the reinforcements that came over were unexpected.
