Agora: Love and Hurt

Dua

The streets are starting to fall. Of course, it's been over six in the afternoon. The children who had just played were back at home. A narrow alley with trash scattered everywhere. Danita used to see that view.

Danita's steps are calm. He was calm because Mr. Brown let go. Danita doesn't have to bother looking for a job anymore. He looked at the food he had just bought. Hope if Uncle Mike would be better off treating him. Even though that hope is empty hope.

Danita's eyes stopped when she saw a luxury car stop in front of her small house. Danita felt strange at that time, only this time there was someone coming home. Even Uncle Mike never brought anyone else home.

Slowly Danita opened the door. Inside were already several people dressed in black. Uncle Mike sat down with a few piles of money in his hand. This makes Danita wonder.

"Miss Danita Agora."

Danita. Steady guy in a black suit. Thin mustaches adorned his face. The face looked calm and not terrible.

"I'm Don. The man from Mr. Brown."

At that time Danita was silent. He looked at the man closely. Don't know what the guy's gonna do next to Danita.

Don's hand is outstretched. Shaking, Danita finally responded to the helping hand. They shook hands for a moment. Then Don smiled, he walked away. Followed by two of his guards.

"Uncle. Why did he come here?" Ask Uncle Mike.

Uncle Mike doesn't look angry. He was so serious about counting the money in front of him that he didn't care about Danita.

"Uncle. Who's that money from?" Danita asked angrily.

Brakes. The man's hand violently slammed against the table. He pulls Danita into the room. Pushing until Danita hits the wall. Danita who is defeated will only grimace in pain.

"Tomorrow. You go to Mr. Brown's. She's nice to you, you'll be made a wife."

"I..wife?"

"Yes." Yeah."

Uncle Mike closed the door. Even this time he locked tightly. Of course, Uncle Mike was afraid that Danita would run. That golden opportunity will be lost if Danita leaves.

There's a reason why Uncle Mike gave Danita to Malvin. Malvin said he would give Uncle Mike ten million a month. That's a lot of money for Uncle Mike who just sits down and has fun.

***

Malvin was sitting with a laptop in front of him. There he saw that Uncle Mike strongly agreed. What else has he given two billion.

Faintly looked at the horrible smile from the corner of Malvin's lips. After that Don shut down the laptop. Saying that tomorrow Danita can already take her to this big house. It was a lot of fun for Malvin.

Malvin remembered the wound. Malvin clearly knew what the injury was caused by. Things Danita wanted to know.

"Have you investigated this woman?" Ask Malvin.

"I only found him at the age of thirteen. After that it's dead end."

"You mean?"

"The parents found Danita herself on the road. At that moment, his pitying uncle brought him home. Uncle Mike's attitude was very good at first. Until he lost his job. Make Danita have to go to work."

"So he's not the woman's real uncle?"

"True Sir."

Hearing this makes Malvin want Danita more and more. She wanted to know who this woman was and why she could bear the name Danita Agora.

After asking Don to know more. Malvin's back in his office. Inside the office was a large family photo. Brown's whole family, it's just not anymore. Malvin stands alone.

Malvin Flashback.

"Are you sure you want to join the Agora family?" Ask Mama Malvin who does not believe in Papa Malvin's decision.

Once again Papa Malvin nodded. Even today the pile of money is already in the suitcase. Ready to take to Agora's house. They will run a business together.

"Pa's." Mama Malvin.

"Already Ma. You just take care of Malvin at home. This time it'll work, ma."

Papa Malvin just left. Mama Malvin was silent. At that time Malvin just sat quietly observing the conversation. He did not know what his father would do.

Until the latest news appears on TV. Where there's been a murder at Agora's. There were no survivors, until rumors of an only child from Agora were alive.

At that time, Malvin hated the name Agora. He was so curious to know what was going on at Agora's house. Until his father finally died.

Tok to tok.

Flash back is over.

Malvin is aware of all his memories. He saw his secretary come in with some files. It was a file on the construction of his apartment building.

"Sir Malvin. You have to sign here" said secretary Mel gently.

"Yes." Yeah."

Mel is not just a Malvin secretary. He was also an old friend of Malvin's when he was in college. They've known you for a long time. Even so, while inside the office there were no ordinary calls. They use calls like bosses and his men.

"Mell."

"Yes, sir."

"Help me. I need personal data from a woman named Danita Agora."

Mel looked at the wonder. It's not usually Malvin's asking a woman. What else about his personal data. This makes Mel feel threatened.

"Mell."

"Good, Sir. I sent it by email immediately."

"Thank you."

Mel nodded. He's straight out of Malvin's room. For a moment Mel felt uneasy. All this time there's only been a woman close to Malvin. Suddenly a woman named Danita makes Mel rivaled.

***

Night began to come, the cold began to cover Danita's body. Not to mention the hunger that has come. That made Danita hug herself tightly. The desire to bring food to his mother was destroyed, now he also had to starve.

Door opens. Slowly a light entered the narrow room. Uncle Mike came in with a candle in his hand. He put the candle down, without looking at Danita.

"Uncle." The call was not answered. Uncle Mike came back out and closed the door.

Danita was almost desperate. His body was already shivering from the cold and hunger. Until Uncle Mike comes back in. Uncle Mike violently threw a blanket. He also brought food for Danita. This time it was not stale food or leftover food. It is fried chicken with rice.

Danita's eyes don't believe it. He feels Uncle Mike is changing, he's not going to give Danita to Malvin. Until Uncle Mike says, "I don't want Mr. Brown to be mad at you for getting a tangle."

The world of Danita is collapsing. He just felt the warmth of family. Now it is again destroyed by reality. Where he'll actually be given to Malvin Brown.

"Uncle. Why would Uncle give me to Mr. Brown. It's just my family uncle."

"Stupid girl. You're not my family. I've been babysitting you so you can give me money."

Be ill. The pain can no longer be explained with a word. Where is displayed by people who have been beside him. Not because of blood ties, Danita already considers Uncle Mike like his own father.

"Eat and sleep. Tomorrow you must look beautiful in front of Mr. Brown."

This time no more asking what. Danita only nodded weakly with tears on her cheeks. Either way, Uncle Mike doesn't accept Danita's rejection.
