ALL ABOUT REVENGE

BURNING OF TANU HOUSE

Two o'clock in the night, the cold starts like a stab in the bone. The feeling that his body is cold. He woke up and saw his son's condition.

Khalid fell asleep. It seems like he felt a heavy fatigue from a day of walking from the terminal towards Rani's house before the Police car took him.

Shortly afterwards, there was the sound of a car and a flashlight of a car running slowly from a distance. The meaning of feeling his heart is uncomfortable. He wakes Khalid and invites him to hide in the grass beside Tanu's house.

" Let's burn down the house! Before people come back to this house again. Hurry up!!!" shouted one of the first people to get out of the car.

Four burly men came out of the car while carrying gas-filled jirigens. They then shared the task of watering Tanu's house with gasoline.

It felt like Arti wanted to scream and scream for help, but he did not want to yell it inviting attention to the four unknown people.

After the entire Tanu house was showered with gasoline, one of the car leaders lit a match and threw it on a puddle of gasoline.

" Booom!!!"

There was a loud explosion from Tanu's house. And in that instant, the fire spread throughout Tanu's house. Then a group of people who set fire to Tanu's house, rushed away and drove their car very quickly.

Meaning to come out of hiding and cry out loudly.

" Yama!!! Yep!!!"

Her tears spilled like torrential rain flooding her cheeks. He prostrated himself while holding Khalid who was confused because he did not know what to do.

" Mom.. Are our things burning them?" ask Khalid.

" Yes, son, everything we've got runs out. We have nothing left now." replied Arti while wiping her tears that continued to flow.

" Then what about us. What are we going to eat tomorrow, Mom?"

" Khalid, I know you're worried what we'll eat tomorrow morning. But Mother.. Mum.." Meaning of saying with faltering.

Her chest feels very tight. He could not continue his words. The events that were experienced before were very hard for him. Now he's back with the same thing, and heavier still. Meaning can't hold it all. Slowly the body went limp and fell unconscious.

Khalid was confused to see his mother pass out. He shook his body many times. But Arti remained unconscious.

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

The fire at Tanu's house caused the smoke to soar. The wind carried the smoke and scattered westward.

Some residents of the West Hill Slope who were outside to patrol, saw a plume of smoke suddenly coming from the east. They then rang a fart and shouted to wake the Citizens.

All the people woke up and looked outside the house. Bono immediately came out of his house.

" Akhhh. Where is this smoke. Why so concentrated?" Bono wonders. He immediately entered his house and woke Rika who was accompanying his son's sleep.

" Mom, let's get up. It's fucked up outside. Let's get up, quick.."

Rika opened her eyes slowly. She sat down and hugged her husband gently.

" What's up, Dad. Why wake me up?" rika asked while kissing Bono.

" Look.our house is full of smoke. Our village is surrounded by smoke."

" What? smoke from where?"

" I don't know either. Let's get our son in the car. Then turn on the AC. Close the car tightly. I'm gonna go out to find out what's causing it."

" Okay, Dad, find out who burned until the smoke got here."

" Yes, I'll find out soon."

" Ah, it looks like this smoke is coming from the east. What don't-don't..."

Bono behenti muttered. It was as fast as the wind ran towards the source of the smoke. With just a matter of seconds, Bono had reached the front of Tanu's courtyard.

To his surprise, cold sweat flowed all over his body. His body was limp, and as powerless.

" Oh my God! who could do this? This is so savage! Tama.. Isn't Tama inside? Yep!!!" bono said as he shouted to Tama.

He almost broke into the flames of Tanu's house, but he abandoned his intentions because he heard the sound of children crying from beside Tanu's house.

He then found out the origin of the crying. How surprised he was when he saw Khalid sitting and crying in front of his mother lying down.

" Khalid.. What's wrong with your mother?" bono asked when he had reached Khalid and his mother.

" I don't know, Uncle. Mother suddenly fell down and did not want to get up." replied Khalid in tears.

" Let's go check on Uncle first."

Bono tried to see the state of Arti. It then expends its inner energy to help awaken the Meaning. But his attempt failed. The meaning seems to have been very weak. He called Bara to tell her the truth.

" Khalid, Uncle has to take your mother to the hospital. Your mother is very weak. Uncle can't treat it."

" What about me, Uncle. Is Mom seriously ill?"

" Uncle doesn't know, Khalid. For all you know, your mother is in a very severe depression. Hopefully it doesn't interfere with his health."

" What should I do, Uncle?"

" Be calm.. Your mother's gonna be fine. Uncle Bara is calling to come and get you. And Uncle will take your mother to the hospital."

" Mommy's gonna be okay, isn't she, Uncle? I'm worried about being left alone by Mom."

" There's no need to worry, Khalid. Uncle will help you. Soon Uncle Bara will come and pick you up. You'll also be able to see your mother's condition, later."

" Good uncle, thank you very much.."

" Together Khalid. Well that's Uncle Bara's car coming. There are also fire trucks. Come on, you get in the car. Uncle will soon take your mother another way."

" Okay, Uncle." said Khalid, then approached the car that had just come to the yard.

" Baar, I don't know how things are going inside the house. And what about Tama, I don't know either. Bi Arti should be immediately given help. If you can, go inside and find Tama until you meet. I was so worried about him. But Bi Arti currently also needs help. We're on duty, you find Tama and I'll take Bi Arti to the hospital." Said Bono to Bara before he left quickly on the trail in the darkness of the night.

Bara nodded his head and rushed into the burning flames.

The main door of the Tanu house has been damaged by the fire, there is no significant barrier to enter the Tanu house. Bara immediately ran down the spaces in Tanu's burning house.

" Where is he, why can't I find him? There is not in all the rooms. Is he in the bathroom?" muttered Bara then tried to run towards the back of the room.

As he stepped his foot, a block of wood and burnt ribs fell and almost hit his body. Then he carefully looked for a gap to be able to pass through the flames in front of him.

He slowly removed the wooden block in front of him. Almost only he was able to make way for himself, the firefighters shouted and directly dragged Bara from inside the house.

" Yes!! don't be rash, get out of here! This is dangerous!"

Bara was surprised, he wanted to release the fireman's hand. But his attempt failed. He first felt his body go limp. He was immediately taken out by two firefighters.
