TUMBLED
Protectorship

Rudi drove the motorbike alone towards Agus' house. He guarded tightly the goods given by Mr. Yanto last night. This time they have to succeed.

Rudi looked around the house of Agus who looked lonely. Today, the universe seems to support his plan.

Rudi knocked loudly on the locked door three times. Then came the voice from within and the sound of the door creaking.

"Rudi, huh? What's up?" aminah asked in astonishment when her husband's coworker appeared in broad daylight.

"A ... Aguses. In .. he ...." Rudi deliberately hung his words to make Aminah anxious.

And just as expected, a huge stroke of worry immediately appeared on Aminah's face when her husband's name was mentioned.

"What's up, Rud? Don't scare me. Why is Agus?"

"Got a disaster at the store. His head was leaking iron."

"Astaghfirullah." Aminah's body immediately suffocated to hear bad news about her husband. "So what is Mas Agus doing now, Rud?"

"Agus was brought to the house of Mr. Yanto for first aid by the doctor. After that, they will be taken to the hospital. I'm here to pick you up to accompany Agus."

Aminah's eyes glazed over. She was afraid that something worse would happen to her husband. "Thank you so much you've told me, Rud. Let's go now."

Aminah then rushed into the room and took a wallet containing some money. He thinks maybe in the hospital later they will spend a lot of money.

Aminah was so panicked that she did not notice the faintest smile of victory on Rudi's face. He was overjoyed that he had managed to trick the woman so easily.

Aminah rushed to lock the door of the house with a trembling body and a feeling that was not careless. Not realizing that he was actually in a tiger trap. While Rudi who was preparing on the bike, pretended to put on an anxious face.

"Hurry, Aminah. I'll take you to Mr. Yanto's house."

Agus' head was seen moving to the right and to the left although his eyes were still closed. A cold sweat the size of a corn seed appeared on his forehead, then flowed past his jaws. Agus' lips trembled like he was muttering something.

When Junaidi pulled her thumb, Agus' eyes opened wide. His breath was breathless as if he had run and chased after someone. Her usual smiling face, now implied an overwhelming fear.

"Is that right, Bang?" asked Agus with a tense tone. His face looked pale.

Junaidi. "You gotta hurry, Gus. Your wife and the fetus she's carrying are now in danger."

***

Agus ran as hard as he could down the river to go to Pak Yanto's house. His chest pounded. Imagine his wife and future children are in great danger.

With a breath up and down, Agus finally arrived in front of the three-story master's house. Checked the golden-colored high gate.

Locked on!

Agus thought hard looking for a way to get through it. The thirty-year-old then took a deep breath, preparing to climb it.

Agus climbed the gate carefully, especially as it passed through the pointed end that adorned the top. One footing just a little, the pointy tip was ready to penetrate his stomach.

An obstacle that is not easy to overcome!

After successfully conquering the three-meter-high gate, Agus immediately headed for the main door of the green-dominated house.

But shit! Locked again.

Agus took a few steps back. He caught his breath and took the horses.

One. Two. Three.

Braaaakk.

The door that was broken made a very loud noise. The people inside must have heard it too.

But it turned out that the door made of thick wood was stronger than it seemed. The door only shook as Agus kicked him with his right foot.

Agus looks back on breathing. For the sake of Aminah and her future children, she should be able to conquer this chocolate-painted door. Agus slightly lowered his head and ran quickly, crashing himself into the main door.

Braaakkk. Braaaakk.

The door finally opened. Without a second thought, Agus barged straight inside. He checked the living room, family room, kitchen and bathroom. All of the rooms on the first floor had been examined carefully. Nil. There was no sign of Aminah there.

Until finally Agus saw a room with a door that was chained and locked with a large padlock. Could Aminah be there? Or on the second floor? Or is it on the third floor?

For some reason it was like there was a great power pushing Agus to enter the room. It touches the end of a large chain with the associated padlock. Agus began to worry. Should he open it?

Agus was aghast when he heard a noise like a door being kicked. The noise was loud enough that it managed to distract Agus from the room, and immediately went to look for the source of the sound.

Agus undoes his intention to go up to check the second floor when he hears a noise from under the stairs. He put his ear on the door of the cupboard under the stairs.

The sound was getting louder and louder. It's like someone's in there kicking around that closet.

'Don't it be Aminah?!'

Agus swiftly opened the locked cupboard from outside. How surprised he was when he saw a woman in the closet. His hands and feet were tied with rope. Her lips were covered with a large black plaster up to the tip of the cheek.

And it turns out, that woman was not Aminah.

"Mother Goddess?"

Agus opened the plaster that covered the mouth of Bu Dewi slowly. Beside him were four children, two men and two women who were treated equally.

"Who shuts Mother and children in a place like this? What is Mr Yanto?" cecar Agus while removing the rope that binds the woman and her children.

The Goddess nodded weakly. Then check the state of his children who look weak and frightened. The children's faces turned pale, probably from being confined in a narrow space and lacking air.

"Did Pak Yanto come with Rudi? With a woman?"

"Yes that's right. How can you ...." Madam Dewi stopped her words and looked at Agus with round eyes. "Is she your wife?"

"Yes, Buk. She's my wife, Aminah. Mr. Yanto and Rudi managed to cheat and bring him here."

"But your wife is no longer in this house, Gus."

"What does mother mean?"

"Sir Yanto and Rudi have already taken her away from here."
