ALL ABOUT REVENGE

MISSED PAPA

Arriving at the gate of Tanu's house, Wijaya gets a call from her nanny. He called because Xena repeatedly cried and did not want to stop. He missed his father because he had not seen his father for more than a month.

" Hello, Mr. Wijaya, I'm sorry to bother you." Said Ratri, Xena's nanny since Wijaya's wife died.

" What's up, Ratri? Why are you calling me all of a sudden?"

" I'm sorry, sir, I want to say that Xena is crying today and won't stop. I tried everything I could to stop him crying, but he still didn't want to calm down. Looks like she misses you, because it's been a month since you haven't seen her."

" Yes, I haven't seen him in a month. Where is he, Ratri? I want to talk to him."

" good, Sir. Waita minute. Xena, your dad wants to talk to you." Bujuk Ratri's.

" Papa..why haven't you seen Xena in a long time? Papa doesn't miss me?" xena said while crying.

" I'm sorry Papa, Xena. Papa's been busy. Be patient, Son. Tomorrow you'll be home."

" Xena is not. Papa has to go home now, otherwise Xena won't eat."

" Xena, don't be. If you don't eat, you will get sick. Wait for Papa. tomorrow for sure, will go home."

" I don't want to, Papa. Anyway Papa has to go home today. If Papa doesn't come home, Xena will never eat forever."

" Alright, Xena.. Papa's going home. Newborn boys are smart. Especially persuading her Papa. Ow.."

" Sorry, Mister.. Xena is smart. I don't know who he's good at talking who he's from. But, he's never met anyone but me."

" He did indeed go down to the nature of his mother. He's the same as his brother. If he were alive, it would be my life."

" Mister, it's possible that Vina has become Xena. Her nature and beauty fused with Xena. Later if he's grown up, definitely won't lose his pull with Vina."

" I hope so, Ratri. At least Xena can treat my longing for Mama and her sister."

" In that case, you better get home soon. Poor Princess Master. I also can't do anything if he's been calling his Papa."

" Alright, Ratri. I'm going home now. Tell Xena, Papa will be home soon."

Wijaya hung up. For a moment, he looked towards Tanu's house before he left the place.

" Tanu. wait for my revenge! My daughter's death, you must replace it with your life!" Shouted Wijaya from outside the gate of Tanu's house. Then go jump very fast, then run as fast as the wind.

Wijaya's shout made the whole house scatter out, seeing who was shouting outside the fence.

Raka ran out and carried a block of wood and opened the gate and prepared to hit.

It was not about the one who shouted, but Raka instead hit the empty spot.

" Britan..." No one gets hit, Raka just hits the ground.

Raka was shocked to death, because there was no one there. He fell and fell in a bad place.

" Ouchh.." cried Raka.

Riko and Moon run to Raka. Instead of helping, they laughed at Raka, whose body was full of mud.

" Hahaha.Why are you, Raka? Who made you become like this?" Ledek Riko while laughing chuckled.

" You have no heart. I could have fallen, and you laughed at me. I'm an opera performer. I'm not being funny. Huh.."

" Hahaha.so people don't be brave. This is how it is, if most of the behavior." The moon followed her brother.

Not accepting the insults of his brothers, Raka took a handful of mud and threw it towards the Moon and Riko.

" Sister! That's slovenly mud.. Look out, I reply again." cried the Moon, then he took the mud and put it on Raka's face.

" moon! I'm just about your shirt, not your face. Ahhh, my eyes are so painful."

" It's wrong.. Brother who started first."

" Moon. beware.." cried Raka and then pushed the Moon's body to fall. Now, the Moon's body is also full of mud.

Riko laughed heartily at the behavior of her sisters. He did not know what to do, because Raka and Moon both asked him for help to avenge their frustration.

Tanu, Rani and Tama come out, see what happens. When Tama arrived at the gate, he suddenly laughed out loud. Seeing her brother full of mud like a strange creature.

" Tama..why did you come along to laugh at us?" said Moon irritated.

Tama even laughed out loud seeing her brother scolding her. He began to feel calm again because his brothers were not arguing anymore like before.

...----------------...

Waiting for the arrival of her Papa, Xena looked happy. He felt his longing would be treated if Wijaya returned home. Actually Vina and Xena have the same properties. They both loved Wijaya. Make them into spoiled children. But because Vina was used to being left behind by Vijaya, she became an independent person. Until the end of his life he left a lot of money in his savings.

All day waiting for Vijaya who has not arrived, Xena's body has looked weak, but he did not want to eat. Ratri felt overwhelmed by Xena's attitude.

"Xena, your father will be home soon. Now, let's eat. You'll be sick."

Xena shook her head, and said to Ratri, "I don't want to eat until Papa comes home."

" Ouch.. Xena, look at you. You look pale. Aunt please, don't be reckless. Let's eat, I'll keep you company."

" If you don't want to eat, Auntie will go. Please find another aunt."

" I don't want to. I just want to be with Aunt Ratri."

" Yes already.if you want to be with Auntie, let's eat. Pity your stomach. From now on aunt hear, your stomach sounds constantly."

" Just let my stomach sound. I'm gonna eat with Papa."

" Let's say your father didn't come, will you continue like this?"

" He must have come.. My dad's coming. Aunty doesn't have to scare me."

" Auntie is not a scare. In fact, it was actually Aunt who was afraid of you why, Xena. Ever since Aunt became your nanny, Auntie was so happy when she first saw you. It was like finding a sparkling diamond. You are so amazing, Xena.

Until now you are two years old, Auntie feels very close to you. It's hard, if one day we'll be apart."

"Where is Aunt going?"

" Aunty's not going anywhere.. I mean Auntie, someday if you're older, and definitely.. Your father doesn't need an aunt anymore. I don't want my aunt to leave this house. Leaving you. Aunty will be very sad if we don't see each other again, Xena."

" Aunty don't be sad, Xena will ask Papa to keep hiring Aunty here."

" Thank you, Xena. Now aunt is relieved."

" Bi, Xena loves Auntie" said Xena, hugging Ratri and crying.

" Aunty loves you too, Xena. No, no crying. Then let's eat. When your father comes, you don't drown. Your father is not sad to see you either."

" Alright, Bi.. Xena wants to eat now."

Ratri breathed a sigh of relief. Eventually Xena was persuaded by him. He was very lucky to get an upbringing that didn't make him dizzy. The more days his mother's seed has grown. He could control Xena. Although Wijaya is a criminal, but Ratri does not want his foster children to behave the same as Wijaya.

He always taught Xena good things. He also taught things that were forbidden by the state or religion. With his patience in educating Xena, Ratri now finds results. Xena became a smart, smart kid. Xena also knew which ones were forbidden and which ones were allowed even though she was only two years old.

...----------------...

Towards midnight, there was a sound of people knocking on the door at Ratri's house. Xena tried to wake Ratri up, but the attempt was unsuccessful. The sound of the door knocking did not stop until it made Xena feel disturbed. He got up from his bed and went out to see who was knocking on the door at midnight.

" Papa.." said Xena when she found out, Wijaya was at the door.

" Xena... You haven't slept?" said Wijaya while rubbing Xena's hair.

" Haven't.. Xena misses Papa." Xena then quickly hugged Wijaya.

" I'm sorry, Papa, honey. Papa can just go home. Papa's work is much, and can not be left behind. That's why Papa can only come home tonight."

" Papa, we have a lot of money. Why is Papa still working until he doesn't come home. Xena's lonely."

" There is Aunt Ratri. Why do you still feel lonely?"

" But if there's Papa, it's complete Xena's life."

" Complete how do you mean?" Wijaya asked as she held onto both of Xena's shoulders and looked at Xena's eyes warmly.

" I mean, if there are Papa and Aunt, it feels like Xena has a parent who is still intact. Pa.. Why don't you just marry Aunt Ratri? He was very kind to me. She's like my own real mother."

" Xena, forgive Papa. If that's the case, Papa can't." Said Wijaya, bowing his head.

Unwittingly, Ratri has woken up and hears Wijaya's conversation with Xena. For a moment Ratri's heart became congested. From the beginning, he had liked Wijaya. Approaching her, and being Xena's nanny is an effort to get closer to Wijaya, and hope to change the nature of Vijaya. But he realized, he would never get the heart of Wijaya.

" Why, Papa? Aunt Ratri is a good, smart, intelligent man. Aunt is also beautiful, well educated. Don't you want to have a wife like her?"

" Xena, you don't know anything. Better not take care of Papa's business. You're a kid, you don't have to think about adults."

" But this is for our good, Papa is lonely, if there is no woman beside Papa. Xena is the same. If there was no mother beside Xena, she would feel lonely too. Moreover, Papa often goes far and does not go home."

" Xena, you're only two years old but why are you so good at babbling. Already, don't think about it. Now Papa wants to ask."

" What's the question, Pa?"

" Are you sleepy?"

Xena shook her head then asked Wijaya. " What if Xena's not sleepy?"

" If you're not sleepy, Papa will take you for a walk. Won't you?"

" Want, Pa.. Whither streets?"

" Anyway to a very beautiful place. You'll know for yourself. Come on.."

" Okay, Papa. Come on.."

Vijaya also brought Xena out of Ratri's house. Without saying goodbye to Ratri, Wijaya hurried to take Xena on foot through the path.

Slowly Ratri came out of his room and looked outside. He sees Vijaya walking in the silence of the night carrying Xena away somewhere.
