ALL ABOUT REVENGE

RIKA'S SMILE OF HAPPINESS

Arriving at the village border, Bono immediately walked to his car. He opened his car through the remote in his hand.

" Well, that's your own car, Bon? I was gonna help you open the door, uh it opened first." Rika was amazed at the sophisticated Bono car.

" This is my boss' car, I just took him. But soon I'll get this car back in its place."

" Oh, I thought it was your own. Where's your car going?" Rika is curious about Bono. There's no way Bono doesn't have his own car.

" I don't have a car, Rika." Flat Bono vibe.

" ha? You are a great villain. Then what crime did you commit? Where's the money you got from your crimes?"

" I gave it to an orphan foundation somewhere."

" What! That's illegal money, why did you give it to the foundation?"

" The Foundation needs a lot of beaya to support the children they are accommodating. While lately, donors are dwindling very much. Of the many children who are accommodated, they are willing to fast, and eat potluck when open and sahur. I feel sorry for them too, and then I help the foundation."

" Bon, but you know what? Money is illegal money. Do not help with your crime money. Sin, you know what?"

" Rika, it's not the result of my crimes. The money I give to the foundation is my wages."

" But still even if it's a wage, it's still a wage from committing a crime. Bono, if you can't afford to make money in a good way, don't use it to help people. Poor they have to eat with the ill-gotten money."

" Rika, you never understand what it's like to lose a parent. I am also an orphan. But my fate is not as bad as theirs. Even though the life I've lived is very bad, but I enjoy it."

" Bon, it's possible that they too have the same fate as you, and they're enjoying their lives as well. Difficult and happy, they will always live with sincerity. So don't think that they're hard because they're just eating potluck."

Bono fell silent, and he drove his car to a nearby hospital. Then the mood became quiet. Punto tries to break the silence.

" Rika, you don't know what Bono's thinking. Never mind, you don't have to fuss about that. He was so because of circumstances that made him excited to help. It's possible that if there's no Bono, the foundation will close. And the children that they have lost will be sent to other places. And it's possible that the children became derelict and instead became street beggars begging people."

" Rika just reminded Bono of the cake, so don't repeat it."

" Let it be, let it be Bono's business. Don't make a burden on his mind."

" It's okay cake, Rika's right. I did wrong doing good. Next time I'll do good with my own good works."

" Lo Bono, forgive my granddaughter. He really likes that. Touching people as they please. Even if he means well."

" It's okay cake, I like him so. It means he's a caring person."

" Is Rika the kind of person you're looking for, Son Bono?" Ask Punto.

" I don't know Cake. I just like it. My heart was calm when I was around him. I went back to the village too for her Cake."

Rika became embarrassed to hear Bono's sincere remarks. He did not expect Bono, saying his feelings were blatantly to his Grandfather.

" Cake, Bono was just messing around. Don't think about it seriously, Cake."

" Rika, I'm telling you the truth. I'm not kidding around. I'll prove my promise." Said Bono with confidence.

" Rika, I don't see any insincerity from her. But instead, he is very sincere to you. He also sincerely greeted the citizens and wanted to communicate with the citizens. That's proof that Nak Bono still has a clean heart." Punto said, encouraging Bono.

" Yes cake, Bono has changed. I admire him. Then does she fit me, cake?"

" Em, let's see the progress first. You better approach first. Learn to judge each of you. If you have found your weaknesses and strengths, then you will be able to judge. You like not the weakness of Son Bono. So does Nak Bono, likes not to be with Rika's weaknesses. If you can accept each other's shortcomings, I'll marry you."

" Seriously, Cake? Rika said as she echoed her Grandpa's hands.

" Yes, Grandpa is serious. It's time for Grandpa to hand over protection for yourself to someone stronger than Grandpa."

" What does Grandpa mean? Grandpa will still be Grandpa Rika who always protects Rika. If Bono's as evil as Rika How, Cake?" Rika said a little worriedly.

Bono smiled at Rika's words. Then he said to Rika.

" I'll never be evil with you Rika. I will be a gentle man to you. If you're angry, I'll just smile and listen to your nagging."

" If you are angry? Are you gonna hurt me?" Rika snatched Bono's words quickly.

" Haha.. Kek, convince Rika that I will never hurt any woman including my wife. Please tell him, cake. I know Grandpa can read my future."

" Bono's right Rika, you don't have to worry about him. Grandpa make sure you'll be happy with him. Don't be afraid, no matter what happens, what you decide now won't make you lose. Trust Grandpa."

" Grandfather can guarantee? Bono, look out if you're just making me your toy. I will never forgive you." Speak Rika with ketus.

But Bono just smiled to see Rika's face from the rearview mirror in his car. Rika was getting sniffy seeing Bono just smiling in response to her words.

"That's.. Bono, don't smile. Say yes, I promise I won't make you a toy. It's even his own smile."

"Yes. yes.. I promise I won't make you a toy, Princess. The onion also turns out."

" What? Say it again.. I pinch you know. Can I just pinch?"

" Good then.. Uhhhh.." Rika also pinched a small part of Bono's neck.

" Ouch... Rika, sick!" Bono said a little loudly, surprised by Rika's sudden pinch.

" It hurts, right? He said it didn't hurt, if you're mean to me, my pinch will hurt more than it did."

" Yes, I won't be evil with you my dear. Don't think too badly of me. There, you're busy thinking about my bad behavior instead of loving me." Said Bono with a smile.

" Hehe, so don't be a bad person. So that I don't think about anything bad about you. I also don't want to be prejudiced against you. But when I tried to be prejudiced, my old memory came back, when you tried to run to catch me and wanted to rape me. I'm scared."

" It was Rika, I don't want to remember it. I'm sorry Rika. If I remember that time, I'm so ashamed."

" Do you still have Bono's shame?" Rika's words then closed her mouth, afraid that Bono would be stunned by her words.

Bono just smiled at Rika's words. He was not at all angry and offended by Rika's words. But Punto interrupted their conversation and admonished Rika not to say carelessly to Bono.

" Rika, if you talk, don't make Nak Bono offended. It will make your relationship break. Don't get used to. Respect your future husband, just like your grandmother respects your grandfather. Your mother respects your father. So a wife must be able to keep the speech so that the husband is not emotional, then something unwanted happens."

" This grandfather did not understand Rika's intentions.

Rika just wants to try testing Bono's patience, Cake. If with a simple speech he offended, Rika no longer wants to be Bono's wife, Kek."

" Hemm.. Yes Rika, if you are shadowed by your negative thoughts. After taking your grandfather to the hospital and taking him home, I'll just go." Sighing, Bono said to Rika.

" Bonos! Why is it that you have in mind that just go and go? If I were like this, like to grumble, even angry you would leave me?"

" I just want to remind you Rika. Before you finally regret choosing me, better decide now Rika."

Punto again interrupted their conversation which seemed to be going to cause a conflict that made their relationship tenuous.

"That's Rika, son Bono.. Do not continue your discussion. Grandpa doesn't want to get any bigger if it goes on."

" Grandfather need not worry. I won't scold Rika. Grandpa's granddaughter is safe arguing with me."

" All right then. I'm putting my granddaughter to you, Son Bono. I hope you can take care of him with all your strength."

" Yes, I'll obey Grandpa's orders. I promise to be faithful to him."

Shortly after, they arrived at the hospital. Bono's arrival was welcomed by several nurses who brought wheelchairs to Punto.

" Cake up, just get in a wheelchair. Grandpa still has trouble walking." Said Bono while preparing a wheelchair at the door where Grandpa Rika was sitting."

" Why is there a nurse here, Bono? We usually look for them. Even if we're here, we're gonna have to find our own wheelchair." Rika asked Bono who was trying to help Punto sit in a wheelchair.

" It doesn't need to be asked, just being with me is all easy." Said Bono while laughing.

Rika is smiling too. He was relieved, also happy to be close to Bono. Looks like a rude person even though he is evil, but it turns out he is very good.

Rika doesn't want to lose Bono. He then wondered, when they were married and had children, the house would no longer be empty. Full of jokes and laughter between her, Bono is also her children. Not to forget also every time hearing old songs from the radio, in his grandfather's room.

Rika smiled in excitement. Bono who saw Rika smiling to herself, then reprimanded her.

" Rika, why smile to yourself? I also want to smile."

" Hehe, it's okay Bono. I'm just happy."

" Your grandfather is sick again, but you're having fun on your own. Should be sad, see your grandfather groaning in pain."

" Yes I know grandfather is sick, but I can't hide my happiness. Forgive Rika yes, Cake."

" It's okay, Grandpa is happy to see you happy. That's your happiest smile I've seen so far. Rika, if Grandpa has returned to the Almighty, please be more mature in solving the problem. Grandpa can't give you any advice. You have to live independently. Learn from every problem you face."

" What is this grandpa talking about? Rika doesn't want to lose Grandpa. Don't talk weird, Cake. Rika's scared, Grandpa's left." Rika said as she hugged her Grandpa.

Bono stopped pushing his Punto wheelchair. He was so overwhelmed by what he saw.

" Rika, don't cry. Let's get into the treatment room. The doctor was waiting there.

" Eh, good Bono. Come on cake, let's go in. Grandpa healed quickly. Mas Reza's punch didn't make Grandpa seriously hurt, did he?"

" No, he just bruised Grandpa's face. Red medicine and bandages are enough."

" Why can't Grandpa walk? Is there a problem with Grandpa's leg? Rika doesn't see Mas Reza kicking Grandpa's leg."

" No, Grandpa doesn't know either. Let the doctor explain. Whatever happens is Grandpa's destiny. You don't have to be sad, Rika."

" Cake, when Rika found Rika's happiness, but instead Grandpa became like this. Cake, Rika wants Grandpa to recover soon. Rika doesn't want Grandpa to be sick."

" Yes Rika, Grandpa doesn't want it either. But Grandpa also has to accept it if Grandpa is like this."
