ALL ABOUT REVENGE

FIGURE OUT HOW

In the evening, Grandpa Rika came to the house of Reza, whose house was at the very end of his own, close to the village gate. Reza is the grandson of the founder of a respected hillside village. Reza's grandfather was also the person closest to Wira. He asked the help of the Hero to educate his wayward grandson. Because her parents are divorced, and her parents currently live separately abroad, Reza lives with her Grandpa. As time goes on, Reza grows into a mischievous child. Until finally growing up, his mischief in the past is still carried away.

" Tok tok.." Rika's grandfather knocks on Reza's door.

Reza's grandfather opens the door, seeing who's coming to his house.

" Eh, um Punto. Let's go in. mas." Grandpa Reza.

" Thank you Mr. Harjo." Rika's grandfather said then entered Harjo's house while looking at every corner of his house.

" What's the matter, when the nights come to my house? Is there something Mas Punto wants to say?"

" Em, just go right ahead sir. Oh yeah, where's the Reza boy, sir? It looks like a lonely house. Usually the sound of loud music is heard from the outside."

" Haha.. That's a bad habit my granddaughter, her son is unruly. I was afraid, if I advised him. Sometimes I'm the one who's even being snapped at."

" Yes it seems like Nak Reza is hard-witted, and that's what I really want to talk about Mr. Harjo."

" Oh, so so. Tell me, what would Punto say."

" True, sir, Rika disagrees with Nak Reza's rude nature. Yesterday I was just reprimanding, lest I provoke the anger of the young stranger. And finally I got snapped and hit the table. Rika knows Nak Reza's behavior, she also reprimands Nak Reza directly. Reza didn't take it, before he left he said we didn't support him."

" Walah.. To the behavior of my granddaughter. As his Grandfather, I was embarrassed to hear this news. But I dare not advise him, ma'am. I'm afraid he'll leave the house and leave at will. That's what I really don't want. I want to educate him well, to be a useful person. I also asked Mr. Wira to train him martial arts, in order to be able to fight against an evil enemy, such as the foreign Youth. But I don't know if his behavior is bad, out of my control."

" He's very arrogant sir, rude and doesn't like to take criticism. Rika became unhappy with him. Rika asked me to cancel her marriage to Nak Reza."

" What? Rika wants to cancel her wedding plans? Mas Punto, that's a very difficult choice. Not just for myself but for Mas Punto as well."

" Where is Mr Harjo? not allowed, people have a proposal and the marriage was canceled."

" That's not the case, if the marriage is annulled, surely Reza will get angry and do something out of bounds, Mas. It's hard to control."

" How then, sir, can their marriage remain unenforceable? I felt sorry for my grandson. She's an innocent girl who's never been abused by anyone. She is also the girl who is awake from the touch of any man. If getting married to Nak Reza makes it hard, I'm asking to be annulled."

" Mas Punto, this should be discussed carefully with our respective grandchildren. In order for them to know, and what reason was canceled, my grandson also deserves to know from Rika's own words Mas."

" I'm so afraid, sir, if you present them in one room to discuss this issue. I'm afraid Nak Reza is angry and does something to my granddaughter."

" Be calm first Mas Punto, we should also present Mr. Wira in order to calm Reza. If there's him, Reza can't do anything."

" Where should we find him, sir? He hasn't been here in nearly two weeks."

" Yes Mas Punto, according to Mr. Wira, he is preparing for his wedding, with a girl who used to be his adopted son."

" Oh so, then where are they going to have their wedding sir? And when? I'm afraid Mr. Wira hasn't been found yet but our grandson's wedding date has arrived."

" Patience with Mas Punto. You should not be confused with something bad that will happen. Later even make Mas Punto sick because of thinking too much about this problem. We better leave it to God. Whatever decision God makes is best for all of us."

" Yes Mr. Harjo, I have also tried to make my heart and mind as calm as possible, but my feelings continue to be unpleasant. Like something's gonna happen."

" Here you go, now go home first. Talk again with Grandson mas Punto, who knows he changed his mind again. Or have a drink first, I make."

" Hehe, no need for Mr. Harjo. I just go home. I will talk to Rika again. Then I beg you, sir."

" Please Mas Punto. Later I will tell Mr. Wira if he comes here. We just talked about this with our grandkids."

" Good Mr. Harjo, I'm going home first. Afraid Rika worried and then came here. Good night."

" Yes, Mas Punto. Be careful on the road."

Rika's grandfather came home with nothing. On the way he looked confused. His meeting with Harjo did not yield any results. Only a solution that not everyone can accept.

" Oh, how is this Rika. Grandpa can't bring you good news." Punto said as he rubbed the sweat dripping on his forehead, from between his hair.

Arriving home, Punto looked limp. His wrinkled face looked pale. He sat down and leaned back on the new sofa he bought, after his new home was completed in renovation. Rika comes out of her room to see Punto and sits next to him.

" Grandfather, how did it go? Why is grandpa pale? Did Reza do something to Grandpa?"

Punto shook his head then sighed and said to Rika.

" Grandfather didn't meet Reza. Grandpa just met his Grandpa."

" Where is Reza's Cake? Why are the nights gone?"

" Did he go with another girl, Cake? If so, Rika will never forgive him."

" Don't be so bad, who knows what he's doing is good. We can't judge a person as we want."

" But Grandpa knew for himself how he behaved towards Grandpa and Rika. Rika doubts she can make Rika happy. Rika could die young."

" Rika be patient, we wait for the arrival of Mr. Wira. I'm the one who can solve all this."

" But our wedding day is soon. Invitation is also done, we just share the invitation tomorrow. How is this cake. What do we do?"

" Rika, Grandpa doesn't know either. Grandpa's mind is no longer what it used to be. Can't think hard."

" Don't push yourself if you can't find a way out. Tomorrow Rika will come to her house and tell Reza directly."

" Don't Rika, too dangerous. Grandpa's worried about your safety."

" When I'm home, Rika will be safe? It depends on the same age, cake."

" Oh, grandpa was confused. Yes, Grandpa rest first." Punto goes into his room leaving Rika still confused by his fate.

" Dad, Mother.why is Rika's life like this. Please Rica. Poor grandpa, have to come think about Rika's fate." Rica cried while looking at the picture of her Father and Mother on the wall of the living room."

Rika wiped her tears, then quietly opened the door of her grandfather's room. Rika saw her Grandfather still sitting on the bed, staring at the window of her room while holding his head.

" Cake, how sorry are you. Rika has to do something. But how? Do I have to get out of this village and see Bono and ask for his help?"

Rika closed the door to her grandfather's room. And into his room .

" Lord, help me to be saved from a bad soul mate. I want to live happily in this world. So that my grandfather would be happy to see me live happily. She loves me so much, she must be thinking hard to find a way to get me to stop marrying Reza's mas."

Rika pondered what would happen tomorrow, if she married Reza. For him Reza is not the man of his dreams. He accepted Reza's proposal out of respect for the Hero. Had it not been for the Hero, Rika would not have accepted Reza's proposal.

"Sir Wira, why do you have to know Mas Reza, even you train him martial arts. Rika is afraid that she is abusing her power for something that is not good. Mr. Wira, come. Help us solve our problems. You know our shortcomings. I'm just a girl who doesn't have much experience, while my Grandpa is old. In the face of something, we always think hard to solve and find the best solution. The problems we face are more complicated. Even Grandpa had no way to annul my marriage to Reza. You are the key to this problem. Come and meet us. We're hoping to find out where you are."

Rika sat curled up in her room. He wept lamenting his fate. The shadow of his future if together with Reza, continues to haunt him. A few minutes later came the sound of Punto coughing in the central room. Rika wiped her tears and opened the door to see the situation outside her room.

Dark, Grandpa Rika deliberately turned off the lights in the living room so that she could think calmly. Rika walked towards the living room and turned on the lights.

" Grandfather, why are you here? Dark again. Grandpa hasn't slept? He said his head was dizzy and sleepy?" Rika asked, then sat down next to Punto.

" Grandfather can't sleep. In the room feels crowded. It's more comfortable here."

" Oh so it is, tomorrow we buy a fan yes Kek. Put it in Grandpa's room. Let it be hot, not hot. Just turn on the fan and then can sleep soundly. Hehe.."

" Rika, we don't have the money to buy it. Grandpa doesn't need it anyway. Grandpa if the heat is used to move here. Here for grandfather the most comfortable room. It's wide and cold."

" We still have money given by Mr. Wira right, Kek. We use to buy a fan, still a lot left over. Rather than here, just mending in Grandpa's room. It's a great grandpa's room. Just install a fan so that grandfather's room is cold."

" Rika, because of the money, we can't refuse Reza's proposal. Grandpa didn't like it from the beginning. But since he came to propose followed by Mr. Wira, Grandpa was forced to accept it. It's all because of the money Mr. Wira gave us."

" Then how about the Cake? What's the rest we just give back to Mr. Wira. Keep the money we used to renovate this house, we return it if Rika got a job."

" What do you want to do, Rika? Now find a hard job. After all if you work, who will accompany grandfather? Grandpa is old and has no one but you." Punto cried, he wiped his tears many times but his tears kept flowing.

" Rika, why is this room the reason Grandpa said it's the most comfortable place?"

" Rika doesn't know Cake, for Rika is mediocre. The difference may indeed be cold here, because the room is spacious."

" No Rika, not because of that. This is a family gathering place. Your grandmother, Father and Mother, and your brothers were gathered here. Your father was busy drawing, your mother was busy sewing, your brothers were busy studying. Grandpa and Grandma were watching TV. We all gathered in this room. It feels so crowded and so exciting. Sometimes Grandpa saw the look on their faces while doing his activities, which sometimes made grandfather laugh. Now it's all gone. In a place this big, it's just the two of us. What if Grandpa has been called the Almighty, does it not get quieter?"

" Grandfather don't think about the past, it will make Grandpa feel sad. Forget it, Kek, let's see a bright future. Rika will look for a good soul mate, and have many children to be friends for grandfather."

" That's not the problem, Rika. If they were still there, surely we would not have had such a difficult time as we are today."

" Yes Grandpa just rest. Don't think too much, Grandpa will be sick."

Punto hugged his grandson and kissed him on the forehead. He felt overwhelmed by his life. After he received help from Wira, he became like a debt of gratitude with Wira. Whatever is related to the Hero, his heart always trembles. It was as if his heart was tapped to always return his good favor. Especially when Wira is asked to apply for Rika for Reza.
