ALL ABOUT REVENGE

OLD SIR'S STORY

" Ahh, where is the stall? Do I have to look like this?" Bono tried to cross the deserted road and then walked north.

" There he is. Thank goodness I found it." Bono was relieved, he found the food stall he was looking for.

" Sir.." Call Bono after meeting the food vendor at the stall.

Sellers and buyers were terrified by Bono's torn clothes. And dried blood stuck to his shirt.

" Eh, sorry. Where's this from, why's his shirt torn and lots of blood on the clothes mas." Ask the seller on Bono.

Bono was confused to answer what was with the owner of the stall, and finally just fell silent and did not talk.

Everyone shook their heads looking at Bono. But they did not dare to approach or invite Bono to speak.

" You don't have to ask me anything, old man. I just came here to get my food, ordered by a man named, Wijaya."

" Oh, okay. I'm sorry Sir. I'll take Mr.'s order." Said the owner of the stall after Bono mentioned Wijaya's name. He then felt his heart pounding strongly in memory of Wijaya who had recently come to his stall.

" Quick old man, I'm in a hurry. And I'm also very hungry!" Tell Bono to hit the table in front of him.

A young man of great stature and seemed to be good at martial arts, reprimanding Bono.

" She, don't yell at the old man. These parents are like your own parents. He also has children. How would you feel if your parents were yelled at by someone else?"

" Who are you?Don't be a hero! I'm sorry if I'm wrong, you don't have to hunt me!"

" I just stopped by this stall. I'm a newcomer from far away. I don't hunt you down, I just advise. Poor Father, he's old and you're still snapping."

" enough! Go there! Don't show your face in front of me or?" Bono stopped talking, not wanting to continue.

" or what?" Youth asked as she approached Bono and puffed out her chest.

" Or I'll beat you up! Hyaaat!!!" Bono punched the young man slowly, but was able to make him float and thrown far out of the stall.

Seeing that the entire stall ran pontang panting so as not to be affected by the impact of the Bono rampage. But the owner of the stall is old, can only resign. Running is impossible. He simply bowed silently and waited for Bono to approach him.

Bono stepped over to where the old man was standing.

" Old Man, I'm sorry. Seeing you is like seeing my parents. Where's my food old man?"

" This is Sir, it's okay. It's only natural that young people like you are easily ignited emotions. As a parent, I dare not say anything. Usually people like you will realize by themselves when you feel sadness in solitude. At that time people will easily take the heart of Master. But right now, sir, it's not like that, I can't give any advice."

" Yes, Old Man, I'll go first. Thanks for the food."

" Yes Sir, Oh this is Mr. Wijaya's money is still a lot of Master's left. I dare not accept it. While the Lord hnya spent twenty thousand. Lord Wijaya entrusted me with twenty million."

" Old man, that money is for you. That's not just a trick. Take it and use it well."

" But sir, I don't deserve it. I just want to earn money with my own hard work, even if a little. I'm afraid this money's a result.." The old man almost lost his mind when he realized he was stopping his words.

" Old Man, we're criminals. But this money is not the result of robbing or from the proceeds of crime. We have efforts that are clean from sin apart from the proceeds of our evil."

" But Sir, I.."

" Old man, take it. Otherwise this money I'll take back but this stall of yours I'll destroy."

" Oh no, not Sir.. All right, I'll take this money. If this is clean, may I share a little for the underprivileged?"

" It's up to you, Old Man, that money is your right. What you want the money to do is up to you. I won't get to the heart, to question it."

" Thank you, sir. Gentlemen I will never forget. Again, extend my thanks to Mr. Wijaya as well, Mr."

" I will definitely tell you. Goodbye, Old Man. Oh there's something I need for you, Old man. Can you give me a match, or a lighting device?"

" What is it, sir?"

" I hid in the woods to avoid my enemies. If I walk this night, I have trouble seeing. Give me any light."

" Good, that makes my path easier, Old Man. All right then, where's the flashlight?"

" A minute, I'll get you." Said the Old Man then went to the back to pick up the small flashlight he had placed on the table where he received the payment money.

" This is Mr." The old man gave Bono his flashlight.

" Okay, thank you, Old Man. I'm going first. It's my money to buy another flashlight." Bono gave ten pieces of fifty thousand bills to Old Man.

" No sir, the money given by Mr. Wijaya is enough to buy another flashlight. Sir don't have to give anymore. I don't want to accept it. For me, that money is too much. I open a shop just to keep me alive. To fill life. I no longer need the money. Take back the money, sir. You're young, you're definitely gonna need it."

" Old Man, do you feel capable? Don't be arrogant, Old Man, I give you sincerity, and this is halal money. Not the money of crime. Trust me."

" But Sir, you better give it to those who need it more. Perhaps, on the way you find a beggar, or a poor person in need of compensation. Just give it to them, sir."

" I don't have time for that Old Man, take it. If you don't want to, just give it to someone in need like you said. There must be a lot of poor people or beggars who will come to your shop, Old Man. Just give it to them."

" But, I'm.." Old Man stopped his words.

" Old Man, I also want to be good. This is one of my efforts. I have committed many sins. Now that I am alive, I want as long as I am given my life, I can still do good, even if I still commit sins. One day if I die, I still have a helper, to be able to get into nirvana, because of the good I did, Old Man.

" Mister, you're actually a good man. Repent, and return to the right path. There's still a chance to fix yourself."

" Old Man, you are good at talking. But it's very difficult for me. I'm used to my black life. It's not that easy to turn it white."

" I'm sorry, sir, I'm just giving advice. Maybe for me, if I am the master, also can not be a good person immediately. But if it tries continuously, it will definitely be able to do it."

" You're right, Old Man. You are very noble. Your son must be just like you. One day I will come here again, if still given long life, to learn from you, Old Man."

Old Man smiled so much that he laughed until he coughed. Just this time, he found a bad person, who was willing to talk to him. Even he is not an ordinary criminal who only capitalizes on courage. But this time, the young man before him in addition to having high courage, also had an ability that could not be measured, by ordinary humans.

" Since you know, I used to come from a bad person. I am a gambler, a drunk, a murderer, a woman player, also a thief. I'm not a good person like you said. My son is just like me, in the past. And even now, he inherited my past nature and behavior."

" What? So you used to be like that, Old Man. I didn't expect. People as good as you, were once bad people."

" Yes sir, I'm telling you the truth. But, that was decades ago. I began to repent after I raped, to the point of killing my own lover. Though I love him very much, but my appetite is peaking, making me dark eyes. I raped my lover, who initially refused me to go to bed together before marriage."

" What? Why do you have to take care of Old Man. Even with the person I love, I have no power to force it."

" Therefore, sir, I feel very guilty. To this day I still regret that incident. I repeatedly clenched his chest, remembering my past actions. Moreover, my son also did the same thing as what I did."

" Beast! Your son is like that, Old Man, where is he now? Can I teach him a lesson?"

" He is currently in prison. He was sentenced to ten years in prison for his actions. When there was chaos in the prison, my son managed to escape. The police tried to catch up to him, but my son escaped.

A week out of prison, there are a lot of bad things he did. He robbed and killed his victims three times and he managed to escape. Raped a young pregnant woman the night she came home from work, but my son managed to escape. The woman died after suffering severe bleeding in her shirt. The incident was recorded by someone who happened to pass by, and heard a woman asking for help. Before my son escaped, the man took a picture of my son, then reported it to the police.

But even though the police discovered his crimes, he was still able to escape the chase. Until finally, my son was caught circulating drugs to teenagers who were still sitting in High School. It just so happened that the boy was a cop's boy. He purposely uses his son to disguise himself as a buyer. And at the time of the incident, the police was already behind my son along with several other Police members.

My son was arrested. After being examined, it turns out that my son is a fugitive who has been sought after. With all his crimes my son was sentenced to life in prison. But I don't know, all of a sudden I got word, that my son was on death row. Another year will be executed. I can't expect anyone else but myself. My wife died a few years ago from exhaustion. Now I live alone, I have no one else. I am old and always lonely. That's why I'm just doing this to fill out activities. Instead of just sitting still and always feeling lonely. By opening this shop, I had a lot of friends. I don't feel lonely anymore."

" Old man, your story makes me sad. Maybe if I were old, my fate would be the same as yours, if I were to commit another crime. Old man, I'm just like you, I don't have anyone. Both my parents died when I was a child. They were all killed. Before he was killed, he raped my mother. I don't know what to do. Until finally I found a person who has been meritorious in my life. Even though he's a criminal, I respect him a lot. He's Wijaya's boss."

" I thought, This master is actually a good person. But the events that befell Master in the past are what make Master like this. We are opposite, sir. I come from a bad person and try to be a good person. While the Master himself, comes from the sari of good people, even doing evil."

" I did it because I was forced by Old Man, I wanted to be able to learn kuay in order to avenge my parents. Once my revenge is avenged, I will put an end to my crimes."

" Well then, sir, I dare not forbid your decision. May your vengeance soon be completed and repent immediately before you turn of age."

" I'll do it soon, Old Man. Wait for me, Old Man, when I defeat him, I will return and be willing to be your son and take care of you, in exchange for my sins, as well as in exchange for my dead parents."

Old Man smiled cheerfully, his wrinkled face growing more and more visible as he smiled. But there was a ray of happiness in his soul.
