"Three more days is Grandpa's birthday. I know that we will definitely invite Mom and Grandpa Dul. Do you think we should invite Kian as well?" ask Rama. He wanted to know how the wife would react if they discussed her twin sister.
"Invite?" ask Kian lirih.
"Yes. But that too if you want. Didn't you ever tell me you're twin brothers who can't be separated? So I thought we'd invite Kian to Grandpa's birthday?"
Kian looked a little brooding. His brain thinks it's good to invite Lian to Grandpa Bimo's birthday? But to be honest, he wanted to see his twin brother. Especially after Vicky's threat this afternoon. At least he could tell if his twin brother was okay or not.
"Hmm okay," replied Kian.
"So we'll invite him?" rama asked again.
"Yes. Let's invite it. I don't feel good about you anyway if you don't get invited."
"All right then. We'll invite Kian. Just please make sure that he won't do anything this time" said Rama. Kian nodded.

BRACKET
The sound of the door being opened forcibly made Lian who was about to close her eyes have to jerk back and wake up from her bed. His heart beat very fast because it felt shocked by the loud sound of the door being broken earlier.
Lian waved away the blanket that had already covered her body. He got down from the top of the bed and walked towards the door of the room to see what had actually happened. He slightly peeked out from behind the bedroom door because after all he was afraid that someone who entered his house was a bad person or perhaps a thief. But then he went back to thinking how could a thief enter the house noisily?
Lian's face looked slightly relieved as her eyes saw that the person who entered was Vicky's lover. But Lian wondered why the man entered in such a rude manner.
"Maybe he was drunk," thought Lian looking at the red lover's eyes.
The woman finally opened the room door wide and welcomed her lover.
"Darling, what's wrong with you?" lian asked as she walked closer to the man. Vicky stared intently at the lover. When their distance was close, suddenly
PLAQUES
One hand Vicky slapped Lian's cheek hard. It was so hard that it made the woman fall to the floor with blood flowing from the corner of her lips.
"What the fuck? Why did you slap me?" shout Lian. Both of his eyes had started to tear up in pain and soreness in his cheeks.
"Ask your beloved twin sister. This all happened because he was the pretentious act in front of me," replied Vicky in a tone that was no less high.
"My twin sister? You mean Kian?" ask Lian.
"Yes. Kian. Your arrogant twin sister."
"You met Kian? Where's?"
"In the jewelry store."
"Why are you so chatty? Of course I'm there to sell all your jewelry."
"What's? You trying to sell all my jewelry? But why?" Lian got up and shook Vicky's arm asking for an answer. The man threw Lian's body so hard that the woman was pushed back.
"I told you yesterday that I needed money to pay off my debt to boss Roni. If I don't pay that debt then Roni's boss' men will finish me off."
"But why sell jewelry? Without my permission? Did you know that it was all my favorite jewelry?"
"ENOUGH!!! I'm sick of hearing that phrase. Even your twin sister said the same thing to me. That jewelry is your favorite jewelry. That's a bitch," Vicky grumbled.
"What's? So Kian still remembers if all of that is the jewelry that I love the most. So it turns out she never forgot the slightest thing from me?" lian murmured in the heart.
"Is that why you're angry? Is it because Kian said that the jewelry was my favorite and you slapped me? Now where's the jewelry?" ask Lian lirih.
Vicky walked over to Lian with firm steps. His eyes were sharp and filled with hatred. After their close distance, Vicky gripped Lian's arm firmly, making the woman grimace in pain.
"Vicky.. Vicky let go. It hurts.." lian whispered.
"You want to know what made me do all this to you? Because your twin sister dared to slap me in a public place. And I can't get back at him because he's with a bodyguard who's always protecting him."
Vicky's other hand began to strangle Lian's neck. Pushing the girl up to her back against the wall.
"And I told your beloved twin sister that you would get the reward for what she did to me."
The anger in Vicky's heart grew. He didn't realize that the strangulation around Lian's neck was getting stronger. The woman was starting to run out of breath.
In his helplessness, one of Lian's hands continued to creep towards the side, trying to pick up anything she could touch. And it turns out that the hand touched a glass on the table. Lian violently smashed the glass into Vicky's head until it broke and Vicky's head was bleeding.
To stop the blood coming out of his head, Vicky forced to release the grip of both hands on Lian's body. And this incident was used as an opportunity by Lian to escape. Despite the still breath and still blurry vision, Lian continued to try to run out of the house to get away from Vicky. He was not even aware of wearing a thin nightgown like a newlyweds nightgown.
The cold began to feel very piercing the skin of his body but Lian did not care about it. He kept running so as not to get caught by Vicky.
The night was getting late and no one was seen by Lian for help. Now Lian just regretted why she just wanted to take advice from Vicky to rent a house away from the house residents. If only the rental house was close to someone else's house, maybe the sound of broken glass in Vicky's head, and their cries during the fight, could make the neighbors come and help him.
Lian kept running even she had no time to use her footwear when she was out of the house. Lian was afraid that Vicky would kill her. Due to fatigue and pain in the soles of his feet, Lian finally stopped running. He hid in one of the dark little alleys because there were no lights there. Lian thinks she can hide there. But suddenly….
TAP
A hand pulled Lian's arm.
