ALL ABOUT REVENGE

Enter the Village

Reza and his men begin to enter the unguarded village gate. The atmosphere is starting to get quiet now. Not like before, which every day many people pass by. The little boy ran along the village road. It is now deserted because some residents have moved to other cities.

Arriving in front of the village gate, Reza's steps came to a halt after seeing his grandfather cleaning his yard. He greeted Harjo in a soft voice.

" Cake.."

Harjo was shocked and turned his body. He stared deeply at the face of the man who was suddenly in his yard.

" Riza! Do you dare to come here?! Disgusted son! What else are you doing here? Want to mess up this village again?!" harjo shouted loudly after knowing the person in front of him was Reza and his friends.

" Dad still hate me?" asked Reza in a clean light. I don't feel her tears dripping.

" Repza.. As Grandfather, I don't hate my descendants. Even though you acted impudently to your own grandfather. But I'm hurt by your words. Until now I still remember it. My proud granddaughter, whom I grew up with affection, reciprocated me in such a way. Anyone would feel the same way as me, Reza."

Hearing the barrage of words coming out of Harjo's mouth, Reza could not help but cry. He knelt down and kissed Harjo's feet while crying.

" Grandpa.. Already, don't say it again. I plead guilty, Cake. I realized, it turns out that all this time I was on the wrong path. I left Grandpa for my own pleasure. Now I understand. What I've been looking for all this time, doesn't calm me down. I've never felt happiness, Cake.

I've satisfied my life with the fun. My life is ruined from within. Now that I'm back, I'm gonna fix everything. Grandpa, help me make amends."

" Reza.did you really tell me? If you lie, I'll swear. Your life will never settle down even if you die, Reza."

" I really mean it. Don't pray for me with anything bad, Grandpa. I beg you, I'll fix all my mistakes. I promise you."

" Alright, Reza. I'm glad you're finally back. I hope you can keep your word, Za."

" I won't change my words, Mother. Trust me, my life's at stake."

" Alright, Reza. Thank goodness you finally found your way home."

" Satyas.. Satya's the one who made me like this, Cake. He was present in my dreams and made me miserable. After pondering, my heart gradually began to knock to leave my black world. Cake, I miss Uncle Satya so much. I'm sorry, meeting someone as good as him was just a few days away. Now he's quiet in nature there, Cake."

" Reza.." said Harjo, patting his shoulder.

Reza looked down, and dared not look at his Grandfather's face. He was suddenly embarrassed to look at the old man in front of him who he had maki-maki as much. He also said inappropriate words to Harjo in the past, and considered Harjo never existed in his life.

" Come, let's talk inside. Take your friends in." said Harjo then walked up the stairs and into his house.

Reza looked at Rio and his friends then told them to follow in his footsteps. There was a smile on Reza's face that was very surprising. Rio had never seen Reza's smile so loose. But the other smile was like giving a signal that Reza's smile would never be seen again in the future.

" Sit down, Reza. What do you want me to make you drink? Grandpa only has tea and coffee. Don't ask for wine at grandfather's house." said Harjo, insinuating Reza.

" Grandfather.don't do that. From now on, Grandpa's granddaughter won't want to touch the drink again. I've been converted, Cake. Don't mention my bad habits."

" No, Cake. I promised I wouldn't do anything bad anymore. Ah, never mind.. Let me make you a drink. Grandpa just sat here with my friends. Talk to them."

" Any good thing if that's what you want. Grandpa doesn't need to be made, Grandpa already had tea this morning."

" Grandfather, usually drink tea five times a day. Why don't I make it. I won't put poison in Grandpa's drink. Don't be so prejudiced by me."

" Reza. I've been drinking less tea, ever since I had a cough that never healed. The doctor said I should cut down on sugary drinks. Hence, Grandfather did not dare to drink too many sweet drinks."

" I'm sorry, Cake. I didn't know Grandpa was sick. Then, how about water?"

" No need.You're the only one drinking. I'm still full."

" Alright, Cake. I will not force. Then I'll go to the kitchen first."

Reza immediately went to the kitchen to make drinks for his friends. He was amazed when he entered the kitchen. Although Harjo lives alone and is old, he is still able to clean his house. The kitchen is also clean. The stove, which has been around for decades, still looks new.

" ah.. My grandfather took good care of this house. Grandfather kept this house so that nothing changed. Everything is still neatly arranged. I will never let Boss Wijaya take this village. Let alone destroying my Grandfather's house." muttered Reza while stirring up a tea drink, then placed it onto a tray and carried it out into the living room.

" I'm sorry to wait, you must be so thirsty. Let's drink first." said Reza while presenting sweet tea drinks on the table.

" Well, this time I was well served by a Boss. Reza, I really admire you. I didn't think you were different this fast. Actually, what's your head on?" rio said to make the atmosphere at Harjo's house become crowded.

The laughter of Reza and his friends makes Harjo feel happy. But a big question came to him.

" I don't know what Reza and his friends mean and purpose here. He could be pretending to be good for something. There must be something he's hiding from me."

" Grandfather, why dream? What is Grandpa dreaming about? Grandpa must not believe it and did not think I would bring my friend here. Grandfather must have wondered, what exactly was my purpose in coming here, to the point that I brought my friends along with me."

" Sorry, Reza. Grandpa thought so. Grandfather seemed to be unable to believe, this recalcitrant Grandfather's granddaughter, now returned with good intentions to meet Grandfather. It felt really good, but Grandpa couldn't hide Grandpa's fear either. Is there any particular meaning you're hiding."

" Haha..Grandpa, Grandpa. I definitely came here with a specific purpose and purpose. But not what Grandpa thought. Look, Kek.Ked we came here first, want to fix our mistakes in the past. I want to clear my name that I've already covered. Second, I want to serve this village. I want to protect this village from danger, Cake."

" danger.. You mean what danger, Reza?" harjo asked half surprised.

" Cake.. I'll be honest with you. Actually, I got a job to evict people here and damage people's houses. This village will be a place of worship. At first I accepted the task even though I said it hard. But on the way here, I changed my mind. I refused the task. And this made my boss very angry with me. Then he fired me, and left my duties to his other men. They're coming here to drive our people out, Grandpa. I didn't accept it, so I came here to prevent them. I want to help our villagers."

" Repza.. I thought you'd bring good news, but it turns out the opposite. Then what should we do? Why so many people want to take our territory. Why do people want this beautiful village to be ruined? Why, Reza?"

Suddenly Harjo cried to hear from Reza. From the beginning he had already felt a bad premonition since Reza's arrival. And now his feeling is getting more pronounced. He fell down and stood and stared out of the open window of his house. His old body suddenly went weak. He seemed unable to bear the burden on his mind. Shortly after, he suddenly fainted.
