ALL ABOUT REVENGE

WAITING IN THE HOSPITAL

Arriving at the hospital, Bara was immediately checked by many questions by Bono. His concern for Tama made him pacing back and forth many times thinking about Tama's fate.

" bar.. Bara.. how about Tama? Tell me did he survive the fire?"

" Eh, calm down, Bon. You better catch your breath. Then you can ask me." said Bara to calm Bono down.

" Well. huuppp... Now tell me, did you find Tama?"

Bara shook his head, then he replied, "I didn't find it. It seems like when the fire broke out, Tama was no longer inside the house."

" What?! then where did he go?"

" It's my guess, he was taken away by the Perpetrator. But, to make sure we have to wait for Bi Arti to wake up."

" Ah, yes, already Bi Arti has not been realized. It seems like he is having a very severe depression. I was worried, he would.." suddenly Bono stopped his words.

Khalid stared intently at Bono. He then ventured to ask Bono.

" Uncle, is my mother okay?"

Bono was surprised, he did not realize that the child who was with Bara was the child of Arti.

" Iya, your mother will be fine. You don't have to worry."

" Where is my mother now? I want to see him, Uncle."

" Eh, your mom's in the ICU now. The doctor is treating your mother. Pray, your mother will be fine. He also quickly awoke from his sleep."

" Oh, I see.if my mother is all right, if I'm a big girl. I'll avenge the people who made my mother sick."

" what?? Bara.. You hear what this kid says? He will demand revenge for what made his mother sick. What did you teach him?"

" Ahh. You are just accusing. I taught him nothing. He said to himself, why am I the one you blame." Bara said a little annoyed at Bono.

" Hehehe. sorry, Bara. But a child his age shouldn't think like that. It would be dangerous if he was a big man."

" Maybe he's educated like that. His life was likely full of violence. He must have lived a very bitter life."

" Khalid, do you want revenge?" asked Bono while lowering his body.

" Yes, Uncle. I promise to always look after Mom. If my mother had done anything because of me, I wouldn't have forgiven myself. But if my mom gets hurt by someone else, I'll pay for it."

" Bara. You heard it, right. I hope Bi Arti is okay. If you don't, he'll grow up to be a bad guy. He looks like me." whispered Bono to Bara.

" Hopefully, Bono. I'm not worried about his nature like that. But I'd be sorry if he had to lose his mother. We all know, Tama just lost all her family. And now he's out of nowhere. If Bi Arti can't be saved, what about Khalid. Bono, I really can't imagine."

" Khalid, don't stop praying for your mother's recovery. We're gonna try to get your mom back to good health and get the hell out of here." Bara tries to calm down Khalid, who is beginning to fret waiting to see his mother.

" Yes, Uncle." said Khalid.

From the corner of her eyes flowed warm tears. It's actually very sleepy. But he could not sleep because he thought about his mother's condition.

" Be calm, Khalid, don't worry that you can't eat. Uncle will feed you. Uncle's wife will make you some good food. You don't have to be sad."

" But, Uncle, I'd rather eat with my mom. We always eat together. In fact, my mother always bribed me. I wouldn't be able to eat if I wasn't with my mom."

" Khalid's.. Uncle understands what you mean. If only, or if if your mother sleeps forever, how?" ask Bono.

" Boo!!! don't just talk. You can hurt his feelings. She was a little girl, but she loved her mother very much. You heard it yourself, right. He said he wouldn't be able to eat if he wasn't with his mom."

" Ahh. I'm sorry. I just don't want him to be a bad boy. Whatever the test in our lives. We can't complain and stop walking."

" That's for us. What about Khalid? He's a kid.."

" I don't mean to make her cry or sad. I just want to educate him to always be able to live independently. We should be able to work on our own without the help of others."

" Bono. Don't equate yourself with you. You're much stronger than he is at his age now. She's still a toddler."

" Yes, yes, I know that. I'm sorry." said Bono. He was very sorry to say something that might have made Khalid sad.

" Uncle. I'm used to being sad. Especially if you see my mother. He always works hard. I don't know what to do without my mother."

" Khalid.pain patience.. Your mother's gonna be fine. Pray your mother will wake up soon. And can re-group with you again like you used to."

" Yes, Uncle, I hope my mother recovers from her illness. You can joke again, you can take the bus together again. I'm happy to be with my mom."

" Yes, your mother will be healthy again. The doctor will definitely try to do what's best for your mother."

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

Shortly afterwards, when Bono and Bara, as well as Khalid, are silent, the Doctor comes out of the ICU room. With a sweaty face, the Doctor said to Bono.

" I'm sorry, Mr. Bono. Looks like it took a long time for that mother to wake up. It was possible that he had experienced an event that greatly struck him. What exactly happened to that mother? Why is it so bad?"

" Eh. I don't know, sir. I just met him yesterday. She was my friend's housekeeper. Earlier, he was devastated that upon returning to my friend's house, he found one of his employer's families, killed in his own home. And leaving only one small child, who is still two years old more .

Lastly, his employer's only remaining little child, burned inside his house. Bi Arti saw the burning of her employer's house by people she didn't know. He screamed and suddenly fell and was unconscious."

" What? so the one family whose body was brought here was Mom's employer? In my opinion, it's the most despicable murder case I've ever heard."

" That's what we're worried about. Why would anyone who's that hard to finish off a family. What the hell does that guy want."

" Just right, the incident made the mother's mental down. I am so sorry about that."

" Yes, Doc. Oh yes.. can we see the state of Bi Arti?" ask Bono.

" Eh. please, Mr. Bono. But maximum one person."

" Good, sir, thank you very much."
