Between Me, You, And That Baby
Ep. 4
“Yang is right. They're people from the black world who certainly wouldn't be gentle with a little kid like you”
“But what uncle forgot, that in my blood this flow of blood belongs to the legendary black world leader Tony Gunadhya of the Gunadhya clan, who so legendary makes people vibrate when his name is called. Not to mention I was raised by four of the most ruthless thugs, who taught me how to defend myself. Give me a toothbrush then I can turn it into a deadly weapon. I've even learned to erase fingerprints since I was still holding my milk” bottle
“Oh don't mention my brother-in-law's name, it only makes me more annoyed. They may scare parents, but did you forget the incident you just had, son?" Ask my uncle who I answered quietly,
“They, my brother-in-law, and your four beloved tattooed nannies are dead, and you know how they died. It's a miracle you're still alive after being eyewitnesses to the murder of the leader of the black world. Did you know my sister, your mother also died from being by your father's side?”
Oh uncle how could you say that. Geez, don't you know how sad my heart is if you remind me of the tragic events that befell my father. Even that terrible incident was not yet a day old so the sound of gunfire, the sound of the father screaming for me to run, my uncles who were my protectors for me, made their bodies into bullet targets, he said, the vile laughter of those ruthless-faced men still filled my hearing, my mind.
FLASHBACKS
It all happened so fast that I had trouble digesting it. The last thing I remember was, we were having dinner together, and the door was smashed by a bunch of mean men holding guns.
The sound of our cheerful conversation was changed by the sound of bullet whistling. One of my babysitting uncles pulled me away from the shootout. But my eyes are still recording how the bullet hit my father's chest, which is still in a sitting position.
“Dad!!” my screams.
Uncle pulled me away even more, ignoring my bullying attitude that wanted to run towards my father. Blood was seeping through my father's body.
"Dad!!" shouts back.
Fathering…
Fathering….
Fathering…
"Dad." screamed my heart but nothing came out of my lips at that time. Only, a tear dripped my cheek.
Then everything changed, the shooting scene changed into a chase event in the crowded streets. Uncle managed to trick them. But he was shot due to a barrage of bullets directed towards our speeding car.
Inevitably, as uncle's consciousness declined due to his injury, he fell on the wheel of the car, and the car we were riding in suddenly lost control. Our car hit the roadblock.
It was courage that finally took my life. With my soul shaken, I hurriedly got out of the car. Before getting shot uncle still had time to shout name a place I should go if I managed to escape this.
And, that's how I'm headed. Towards the brothel belonging to madam Kim.
FLASHBACK OFF
Suppose I were a weak woman, maybe now I'm weeping frailly. But I am the daughter of my father, I am a tough woman. I promise you, the crying won't drip from my cheeks. I-i promise….
Next I only heard a while and then the conversation my uncle John Bachtiar – yes that's how he mentioned his full name, and madam Kim about the plan both to hide me in place madam Kim this.
Just look at Dad, I'll make sure they all end up on the edge of a death shot. Just like you dad, just like you uncle.
