8 To 4: The Mayor's Contract Wife

Assault

Wira had ordered all the special menus in the restaurant they stopped at that afternoon. Non-pepper oxtail soup, non-spicy cropping ribs and ca baby kailan. But Ajeng did not show any intention to taste everything that Wira had ordered for him.

“Mas Just eat!” he got up from his seat and walked back to the car.

“Wait! What the hell are you doing, Jeng? What makes you so angry?”

Ajeng stopped his steps. “I'm angry because Mas Wira sold me to Mr. Rega, I'm angry because Mr. Rega mocked me and I'm angry because all this is nothing more than the way Mas Wira benefits me.”

“Who wants to benefit you? We have agreed –“

Ajeng raised his hand to stop the Wira's argument. “Fuck with that contract. I want us to divorce.”

“Jeng!” Wira chasing Ajeng step.

“Oke, I'm sorry. I –“ have not had time to finish the sentence, Wira first saw a car that was watching them from a distance. Wira hurriedly pulled Ajeng's hand and led him into the car.

“Mas Wira why the hell?” ajeng Protest.

Wira tightened Ajeng's seat belt and then drove his car fast while continuing to observe the car behind him. “The white car followed us.”

“Where did Mas Wira know?”

“The car has long been parked in front of the restaurant but no one came down. When we go they come along and now keep following us.”

The hero reduced his speed and tried to walk very slowly.

“Kok even dipelanin anyway, Mas?”

“We see if he deliberately follows us.”

And sure enough, the car also reduced its speed and did not want to precede the Wira car.

“Amateur Basics!”

The hero is ready to step on the gas pedal. When getting the right moment, Wira immediately slammed the steering wheel and cut the speed of the truck to divert his car from the stalkers. The hero continued to move the lane at high speed to outwit but the white car was still chasing him.

“Who are they?” tanya Ajeng began to worry about seeing the way Wira drove his car like in a racecourse.

“Entah.”

They managed to keep a distance with the car when Wira suddenly turned on a small road not far from the city center Batang Hulu. They crossed the old warehousing area that had begun to be abandoned due to the relocation of large industrial estates several years ago.

Wira was relieved to escape from the pursuit of the stalkers. But suddenly from the front of another van was speeding towards him. The hero pulled back his car and from the back appeared a white car that had been chasing him. They were stuck in the middle without knowing what the riders of the two cars wanted.

Wira gave Ajeng's warning to go down and hide inside the warehousing area. They ran and entered an old warehouse that happened to be unlocked. There were many wooden pallets strewn about inside the dark warehouse and there was no other way out other than the door they had entered earlier.

Wira had not had time to lock the door from the inside, from the outside had already come a bunch of men who were burly and handsome complete with batons, clurits and daggers in their hands. The hero tried to lock the door but in vain. The push from the outside was stronger and defeated himself who only single-handedly held the door.

Ajeng who saw the incident immediately threw a wooden pallet that was nearby towards the man with a pinch. The man fell down and Wira immediately handled it. Because of Ajeng's action, the three remaining thugs tried to approach and take Ajeng away.

With his martial skills, Ajeng managed to cripple one of the three men. The other two men approached, Wira immediately pounced on one of them and began to jotos and attack each other. Meanwhile, Ajeng did not want to stay silent and just watch. He climbed into one of the palette boxes and threw a very strong kick into the face of the thug in front of him.

The thug fell down, but immediately got up again. Ajeng back attack and kick with the thugs. Because it was less strong, Ajeng's body was far away until his shoulder hit the pallet box lying on the floor very hard.

Seeing Ajeng hit by an attack, Wira rushed to finish his fight and helped Ajeng. The last thug who attacked Ajeng managed to paralyze Wira.

“You didn't papa?” tanya Wira was worried to see Ajeng moaning.

Ajeng shook his head and Wira immediately helped him stand up so that he could immediately leave the dark warehouse. But really unexpected, the thugs got back up and worse, there were more thugs who came to help the thugs they managed to paralyze before.

*************

Due to running out of power, Wira is not sure that he will succeed in fighting and defeating the horde of thugs alone. Wira held Ajeng then whispered to give him the order to run away while Wira diverted the ten thugs who were ready to stand before them.

“Ngga. I can't leave Mas Wira here alone. We fight them together.”

“I beg!” pinta Wira with breath gasping from exhaustion.

The thugs were already impatiently waiting for Ajeng and Wira's procession, so they started to attack blindly. Wira tried to serve the ten burly men after pushing Ajeng away.

Two thugs who did not come to beat Wira came to Ajeng and pulled his hand and brought him out of the warehouse.

“Mas Wira!!” pekik Ajeng was terrified.

“Ajeng!” Wira starts to panic as Ajeng is taken away by force. He eventually lost and was beaten by the thugs.

When he was about to get out of the warehouse, Ajeng and the two thugs who pulled him were confronted by a horde of other men in black suits like bodyguards who always hunted Ajeng. “Please him!”

The thugs refused and a fistfight ensued between the thugs and the men in black suits. Not only did Ajeng free, they also helped Wira and immobilized all of the thugs mercilessly.

After the fight ended, the horde of men in black suits escorted Ajeng and Wira to get into their car. Seeing the way they treated him, Ajeng was sure that the man was not from the faction who wanted to harm him.

“Who are you?” ask before getting into the car.

“Please enter, Non!” said one of the men.

Feeling no choice and curious about the person who gave the order, Ajeng was forced to obey and get into the car quietly with Wira.

“Are they your papa's man?”

“Entaih! They don't look like papa's people. But I'm sure they have no intention of harming us.” Bisik Ajeng to Wira.
