The Suffering of Si Kembang Village
The Tyranny

"Already, Marni. Forget the man who had become the corpse. You come with me. I can give you anything" said Dahlan Jumawa.

"No! I'm not going to!"

"Marni, I liked you a long time ago. But you chose that poor man instead. Come on, come with me. I don't care about your aging face. I still love you."

"Do you think that by killing my husband, I will accept you?" Momentary pause. "No Dahlan! It will never! I'd rather die than live with you, man hell!"

THE PLAQUE!

A loud slap of Dahlan darted across Marni's cheek, causing a red trail on the still-young-looking skin.

"Kill ..." Marni's furious speech. "Kill me, Dahlan!"

"Basar women don't know at profit! I offered you a good life, but you chose to die!"

"really. Death is the best option for me right now." Marni defiantly.

A burly man approached Dahlan. "Juragan, I heard this woman has a very beautiful daughter. So what does Juragan keep him for. I think replacing it with her son would be more fun."

The success of his men's speech, making Dahlan's smile lifted. "really? Why don't I know?"

"I also just heard it yesterday from the residents. Many of them are crazy about that girl, Juragan."

That provocation sentence made Dahlan's laughter echo loudly. "Mahaha ...."

Marni in fear. He shook his head quickly.

"Nilam, daughter. Nah! Don't fuck him, Dahlan!"

"Oh, is that true what my men say? You have a girl?"

"No ... Dahlan .. don't ...." Marni crawled and rested under the tyranny's feet. "Don't take my son, I beg .... You've done enough to finish my husband."

There was no mercy on Dahlan's face. He kicked Marni's body as tight as he could, until the frail body fell backward.

"If I had known from the beginning, you had a beautiful daughter, I would not have bothered to drag you down, and make the Vishnu deliver his own life to me. Enough you to hand over your son. Then everything will be fine."

Marni continued to cry, she crawled back to her husband's frozen body. Caressing the now serene face was full of love. "I'm sorry, Mom. I'm sorry," she regretted.

"Done!" dahlan's orders are firm on his men.

"It is with pleasure, Juragan," he welcomed.

And ....

JLB!

After sticking in the stomach of Vishnu, the same thing, now impaled in Marni's back. His raised head, and his bulging eyes endured the pain, slowly dimmed and closed.

Finally, the two lovebirds went into the bosom of the Creator on the same day. Shame on!

****

Didy's body shook. The barbaric event was not a soap opera screen spectacle or Sylvester Stallone's blockbuster cinema. All of this was seen directly with the naked eye.

With a step he approached the bodies of the two people he knew very well. But unfortunately, the sound of dry leaves on the stamp managed to make one of Dahlan's men turn to a place that was almost far away they left.

"Juragan .. There's people there!"

"What's? Really true?"

"Yes, Juragan. It looks like a little kid." He was watching from a distance.

"All right, let's go back there."

The four adult men turned the body back to the place where Marni and Vishnu's body lay.

Arriving.

"Hey, Boy! What are you doing here?" ask one of Dahlan's men.

Didy who was crying in front of the two bodies, immediately turned his head. His little body was shrunk with fear. "A-I ...."

"What are we doing with this boy, Juragan? What do I need ki-"

"No need!" Dahlan took something out of the wallet he took out of his pants pocket. "Winvest this?" A small pill-shaped object was placed on his men.

"What is this, Juragan?"

"Vocal cord damage."

Flash back off

"That's how it happened, brother."

Nilam was already sobbing in Gavin's arms.

"Gav ... father and mother ...."

"Quiet, Honey. They are calm in nature. Already yes," Gavin tried to calm down. "Didy, are you sure that person is Dahlan?" tanyanya.

"I'm very sure, brother. I've seen him at the home of one of the residents. I asked my friend who it was, because I remembered his face. And my friend said, he's the Dahlan scribe."

"All right, you believe me" said Gavin. "Darling, has this case ever been handled by the authorities?"

"I promise you, I will reopen it" said Gavin. "Curtainly calm. We'd better all get some rest."

But there was an uncomfortable look on Didy's face. "mrs ... Sis ...."

Gavin and Nilam turned towards him. "What's up, Dy?" gavin asked astonished at Didy's facial expression.

"Are you sure you're gonna sleep here?" tanyanya doubt.

The two people who were older than him were throwing smiles at each other.

"Yes. Do you mind, Dy?" The soft voice of Patchouli.

Didy shakes. "No, it's not like that, brother."

"Then?" ask Gavin.

"This place is not worth it to you. I'm afraid you'll be itching if you sleep here.So you better think you'll just go home, Kak Hana."

Hoayamm ...

Gavin covered his mouth that was yawning, whether honest or not. "Son Gavin's too sleepy to drive, Dy. After all, Grandpa Usman and the others must have gone to sleep. We don't want to interrupt their rest" said Gavin. He laid his honestly tired body on the mat he was sitting on.

"But, Sister ...."

"Already, Dy. Let's go to sleep."

Didy fell silent. He stared at the two people who were lying before him. You guys really fit in. Equally kind-hearted. He smiled, and laid his body beside Gavin.

****

The morning sunlight infiltrated through the cracks of the walls of the house made of woven bamboo.

Nilam opened his eyes slowly, adjusting to the light entering his cornea by rubbing it.

Not felt, a sense of fatigue that greatly made him wake up more noon than usual. In the lyrics Gavin and Didy are still lulled in. He got up and walked to the separate restroom behind the house.

A few moments later ....

Gavin flinched, his eyes opened for a moment. The sound of screaming for help someone managed to wake up forcibly enjoying his sleep.

"Nilam." He immediately dashed running to the origin of the sound.

Sure enough, a man in his 28s was pulling Nilam's body by force. The tiny mouth that had previously cried out for help, in a bekap using his palm.

"Hey!!!" shout Gavin. "Take him off!" Without babibu, he pulled Nilam's arm out of the man's arms. And ....

Off!

"Gavin ...!!" yelling Nilam, he directly inched to the back of Gavin's body.

"What's wrong, brother?" Didy came in.

"Please take care of Nilam's sister, Dy," pinta Gavin. "Son't take care of this lunatic first."

"Hey, who are you? How dare he say I'm crazy" said the stranger.

Gavin smiled wryly. "I'm her husband. What are you doing, huh?" his challenge. And ....

BUGS!

A raw bogeman landed Gavin on the man's right jaw. As he was about to retaliate, Gavin swiftly repelled him. And again, a follow-up hit the man's temple which he did not know his name.

"Review you!" exclaimed the man then turned around to leave the place by holding his bruised face.

"Are you okay, honey?" ask Gavin to worry.

"It's okay. I'm fine."

"Thank God." Pull Nilam into his arms. "Do you know that guy?" the question was also directed at Didy.

"He's Marwan. He has liked me for a long time. But I always refused" Nilam said.

"Yes, Lord .. This village is really not a safe place for you."

"That's right, brother. Events like this have happened to Brother Nilam many times. Every man that Brother Nilam refused in this village, surely at the ends they use evil ways like that."

"Is that true, dear?"

Nilam. "Yes, Gav."

"Then we can't linger in this village."

"True, you better hurry back to the city" Didy said in support.

"Yes, Dy."

Nilam broke free from Gavin's embrace. Instead of looking at the man. "Gav ... Can I make one request?"

"Of course Honey. What'sthat?"

Nilam glanced at Didy. "Take Didy with us."
