ALL ABOUT REVENGE

PROMISE TO RICA

Arriving at her home Rika is still crying hugging her lifeless Grandpa, Bono tells her to come down, but she refuses.

"Rika, let's get down. I'll get your grandfather's body out of the car for a quick shower."

" Bono, I want to hug my grandfather even longer. I don't want to go down."

" Rika, pity your Grandpa. He must be bathed immediately and we'll be buried immediately."

" I don't want Bono. Let me hold her for a little longer."

" Rika, I know how you feel. But I feel more sorry to see your grandfather like that. Come on Rika, she's gone. Let go and let me take him down."

" I don't want Bono, I don't want to lose my Grandpa !"

" Rika, trust me. Poor your grandfather waited too long for his fate."

Rika wiped her tears. He then confirmed Bono's remarks. Then willing to get out of the car and let Bono take his grandfather.

On the terrace of Rika, Harjo, Bara and Wira are waiting for the arrival of Punto, Rika and Bono. They were shocked by Rika who got out of the car and was in a state of tears.

" Rika, what's wrong?" Tanya Wira then went to Rika who was still standing in front of the car door.

" My grandfather, Mr. Wira. He died." Rika said and cried again.

" What? Why could? What's going on?" Tanya Wira then saw the state of Punto who was being removed from the car by Bono.

" Grandfather died on the way home. I'm sorry I didn't realize everything." Said Bono while carrying Punto's body.

" You? Bonos? What are you doing here? Aren't you Vijaya's men?"

" Right, but I've had a different path with him. Never mind, don't talk about him. We better take care of Grandpa Rika's body. And don't ask me anything before Grandpa's mummified."

" Oh, okay. I understand Bono." Said Wira then helped bring Punto's body into the house.

" Rika, what's going on?" Ask Rika who is still crying.

" I don't know, but suddenly he didn't wake up when I woke up. Then Bono told me to check his heartbeat. But grandpa's heartbeat stopped."

" Then why can he be brought home if the situation is still bad. What on the whim of your own grandfather or the Doctor who recommended, if it is to be brought home?"

" The doctor suggested that Grandpa could go home. Rika does not know mas, but it is the same doctor was given nothing, not injected as well. Just given red medicine on the injured part."

" What about his legs when your grandfather was allowed to go home? Can you walk alone?"

" Can't walk yet." Rika replied while crying again.

Harjo comes out of Rika's house after seeing the state of Punto, he then reprimands Bara.

" Boom, you don't ask him anything first. He's in mourning. Better find him a friend to cheer him up. He needs a girlfriend to calm his heart. And immediately announce the citizens about the news of the passing of Mas Punto."

" Good sir, Rika forgive me. You sit here. I'll find a friend for you."

" Yes, thank you Bara.." Rika said then sat on a chair on the porch of her house.

Bara then ran to the mosque to announce the news of Punto's death. He did not forget to find a friend for Rika.

" Santi. I'm sorry, I'm in a hurry. You're a close friend of Rika's, aren't you?"

" Yes, what's wrong with Rika?" Santi said curiously.

" Go to her house and meet her. Rika desperately needs a friend to calm her heart."

" What is Rika why? Did something happen to him?"

" His grandfather died. I'll announce to the citizens via the mosque loudspeakers."

" died? Then I'll be there soon. Pity him if no one is with him."

Santi immediately went to Rika's house. He felt sorry for Rika's fate. In his village, only the two of them were women of the same age. This made Rika not have many friends. Just Santi's a friend of Rika's.

" Rika's.." Call Santi when he gets home, Rika.

" Santi.." Sahut Rika and then hugged Santi tightly.

" I'm so sorry about your grandfather's passing, Rika. You are patient. I'm still here. We are friends, and family. Don't feel like you're alone after your grandfather's death."

" Thank you Santi, but I'm so sad I don't have any blood relatives left. How about I get married?"

" That's Rika's thinking later, we'll think together. What matters is that we think about your grandfather's funeral first."

" Yes San, Grandpa didn't say anything about it. Where to be buried?"

" Later to be negotiated first with the citizens, Rika. You don't have to think about anything. You better calm your mind."

" Good Santi. Thanks, for coming here."

" Yes Rika, you're the same."

The day before Magrib, the funeral process of Grandpa Rica was carried out. Punto is buried in the family tomb of Punto five kilometers from the hillside village of Bukit. The atmosphere enveloped the funeral procession of Punto.

" Cake, why Grandpa hastily left Rika. To whom else will Rika share Rika's sad story? Just Grandpa where I tell stories and complain. Now that Grandpa's gone, is Rika capable of living this life on her own without Grandpa?" Rika in front of her Grandpa's grave.

" Bono, I have no doubt about you. But Grandfather's position in my heart is irreplaceable. He's a man of blood with me Bono. What happens to him, if he's happy I feel calm. If he is difficult, I also feel sadness. Our inner relationship is very strong Bono. Whatever I'm hiding from Grandpa, he'll know. And whatever Grandpa's hiding from me, I'll know. But why, just this time, Grandpa was able to hide his pain from me. What's wrong with me?" Rika said, while fondling and squeezing the grave ground of her Grandfather.

Bono looked at Rika's sad expression mixed in anger. Bono could not bear to see his lover filled with sadness. He swore he would kill doctors and nurses who betrayed him.

" Yahahhhh!!!" Unconsciously Bono shouted in annoyance and anger.

Rika who was beside him was shocked and cried.

" Bonos! What the hell are you doing? I'm afraid.." Rika said while covering her face with both hands.

" Eh, I'm sorry Rika. I didn't mean to scare you. I'm just pissed at myself." Said Bono nervously then gently embracing Rika's beautiful body.

" Bono, please change for me. Don't be a criminal, don't get angry easily and don't be rude to anyone."

" I promise, Rika. I'm gonna change, everything I do is for you. I want you to be happy, Rika. Ilove you. Looking at you, it's like seeing my sister, who maybe if she was alive, she'd be your age. I want to protect and take care of you, Rika. Trust me, I'm not gonna hurt you."

" Please promise to always keep your word Bono. Please, you are my only hope. I want to live with you too. Please don't go and leave me alone. Stay here with me, Bono."

" Yes I promise to always keep my word Rika. Don't worry, don't be afraid I'll change like I used to."

Rika pointed her little finger at Bono, and asked him for an appointment. Bonopun hooked his little finger to Rika's little finger.

Adzan maghrib also reverberated. The sun no longer shows its nose. It became dark, Bono invited Rika to come home.

" Rika, let's go home. It's getting dark in here."

" You go home first Bono, I still want to be here with my Grandpa. Let it be dark, I can cry as I please."

" Eh don't be, this is Rika's grave. You dare to be alone here?"

" I'm not alone, there's a grandpa in here. Why should I be afraid."

Rika still refuses to be invited home, and Bono finds a way to get Rika to go home with him.

" Rika, he said here haunted. There are all kinds of subtle creatures here. What if they bother you? Your grandfather is dead, he won't be able to help you anymore, Rika."

" Ohh.. Bonos! Don't scare me.. I'm afraid of ghosts!"

" Haha.. Then let's go home, but I'm still here. The road to the house is five kilos a meter. If you were chased by a ghost, how many meters would you run?" Bono said and came back to make Rika even more afraid.

" Bonos! Wicked! I'm afraid, don't scare me any more! Yes, I will go home with you. Huh." Rika said annoyed and then pinched her stomach beside Bono.

" Ouch.. Sick Rika, I'd better hit you with a stone than you pinch your hand. It's so spicy for your pinch."

" Who's wrong to scare me all the time! Feel the consequences yourself! Huh.."

" Yes I was wrong. I'm sorry my dear. Come on now we go home. Before.." Bono stopped her words as Rika started to direct her hand preparing to pinch Bono again.

" Don't repeat it again! Can I pinch it until it bleeds?"

" Hehe.. Yeah no.. I won't take any more pinches a second time."

Bono and Rika start leaving the burial place. Using Rendra's car, Bono drove at full speed to Rika's house.

At Rika's house, Harjo Wira and Bara are already waiting for Bono and Rika's arrival. They're worried about Rica's safety. They were worried that Bono was looking for an opportunity when they were alone in a deserted place. This caused jealousy in Bara's heart. He also tried to make everyone not to immediately believe in Bono, and hope Bono was forbidden to be close to Rika.

" Mister Wira, I'm worried about Rika's safety. Why do we leave him alone and let him be with that stranger."

" You're right, Bara, I didn't think it was there. We can't just trust the same people we just met. It's very dangerous for us. And I'm afraid, nothing happened to Rika."

" You mean Bono? Why are you worried about him? Mr. Wira, I really believe in Bono. He is a responsible man. He will not tarnish his own lover. I once listened to the words that came out of his own mouth." Harjo cuts off the talk of Wira and Bara.

" But Mr. Harjo, can you guarantee Rika's safety?" Bara again affects Harjo.

" I'll take responsibility if Bono dares to hurt Rika and get her hurt. I promise you Bara."

" Mister Harjo, it's better before it's too late we have to save Rika. I feel sorry for Rika if something unwanted happens to her."

" Right Mr. Harjo, I'll go back to the funeral and bring Rika home." Bara then stood up to pick Rika up to the funeral.

" No need to bother looking for us. We've arrived here." Suddenly Bono and Rika have arrived at home Rika is fine.

Wira, Harjo and Bara were shocked to death. From the moment they spoke, no one heard or saw the sound of human footsteps. But what he saw was very real, Bono and Rika had already returned.

" Bono, Rika, when did you get here? I don't see you walking off this road, do you guys take the back road?" Bara asked with a thumping heart in shock at the sudden arrival of Bono and Rika.

" Have you forgotten Bara, who am I? I can run like the wind. And I can go faster than the speed of the wind as I wish." Said Bono a little showing off.

" Oh, sorry I almost forgot. Bono, you are a great man." Praise Bara while glancing at Bono with a jealous look.

Rica saw a different Bara gelagat. Rika knows Bara is jealous of Bono, then Rika scolds Bara gently.

" Mas Bara, now Rika has found Rika's chosen man, Mas Bara do not have bad behavior on Bono. Forget about Bara's wishes."

Hearing Rika's words, Bara became speechless. He became like a gago. She was surprised Rika knew her feelings.
