Cempaka Bride

Koko Kesayangan

Dugm! Dugm! Dugm!

The sound of the hammer clashing with other objects, was clearly heard into Ivan's room.

The young man woke up in shock. After realizing that the voice was coming from the artisans who were working in his room, Ivan rose slowly with his arms resting on his two arms.

He sat in the middle of the bed with a blank look and his legs stretched out. His hands moved rubbing his face a few times while yawning.

The man with the disheveled hair finally set foot onto the cold floor. Stand up and walk slowly towards the bathroom.

The cold water made his mind instantly open. She rushed out of the bathroom and got dressed.

Wearing dark blue jeans and creamy short-sleeved jerseys, making her look fresh.

His eyes glanced at the clock on the wall, it was already 8am. After combing his hair and spraying perfume on several parts of his body, Ivan stepped into the room door.

"Where are you going?" tia asked who was already standing in front of Ivan's room.

"Mudic. To Tangerang," replied Ivan short.

"Call your mother?"

"So. To go home." Ivan turned around and picked up his backpack lying on the floor. Fill it with some of her cosmetics and a mobile phone charger. Close the backpack zipper and put it on the mattress.

His hand moved grabbing the jacket from the hanger and immediately put it on. Pull the backpack from the top of the mattress and attach it to the right shoulder.

His gaze was rubbed with Tia. The blue-veiled woman looked at him with dewy eyes.

Ivan stepped slowly and stopped right in front of Tia who was standing in the living room.

"Don't cry! I'm just going home for a second. Tomorrow or the day after tomorrow also come home," said Ivan softly. His hand moved rubbing Tia's head.

"What are you hiding about Malika? Why did he come after you here?" Tia asked the question quickly. Since yesterday he had refrained from asking.

"It's a long story, Tia. After I get back here I'll tell you, okay?" refer Ivan. There was a sense of heartlessness when he had to reveal everything at this moment.

"Now. At least spent half an hour. I'm so curious!" tia resolute. He did not want Ivan to dodge and made him have to wait a long time just for the sake of an explanation.

"Yes. Now aja. I'm curious too" said Ary from across the room. The tall man walked quickly across the park and stopped in front of Ivan's room door.

Tia rubbed her eyes with the tip of the hijab. Then pull Ivan's arm out of the house. Ary followed behind.

Zein who had just come out of the room also stepped forward, so he forgot to hang the towel that was still hanging on his neck.

The warmth of the morning sun that touched the back of Amanda's hand, made the woman feel at ease.

Rarely can he enjoy the warm morning air in this park. More time is spent in the room. Shut-in.

"You have to sunbathe more, so the skin is not too pale" said Rey who sat on her left.

In the man's hand was a knife he used to cut the pear and give it to Amanda.

"Tell that to Calvin and the other guards, Ko. I was only allowed to go out once a week. It was also with strict escort" Amanda said as she stuffed the pear into her mouth.

"They just don't understand how to look after a woman. You are the one who asked to come out. Force it a little" Rey replied with a smile.

Amanda snorted and threw a glance towards the lush trees that were shading them.

"I just want to take a walk. Hang out" Amanda said.

"Anyway no! Poor Calvin's distraught looking for you!" firmly Rey.

"I can take care of myself!" reply Amanda with a high tone of voice.

"Oww...so? I don't know what your fate would be if it was captured by the enemy! If only killed, the problem is solved. But if you were tortured slowly, would you be able? I'm sure not!" firmly Rey.

The man of medium stature suddenly stood up. Walk away while grumbling.

Amanda stayed quiet on the bench. Digesting the contents of their conversation just now. Unknowingly he shuddered. Horrified.

Imagining the torment of his coke enemies made him feel afraid. The fear that exceeds the fear of being haunted by Rima.

Amanda realized, Rima had not haunted her for a long time. His memories suddenly wandered on the figure of the man claiming to be Rima's friend. The man named Zein also mentioned the names of Rama, Dinar and Hasni.

Amanda wondered in her heart about the figure of the man. It seemed like he had to find out about the big tall man who had been present that night.

There was a strange feeling in his heart, like the feeling that Zein could help him get out of here. And will never come back.

At once, it could help his coco, to make up for all the mistakes on Rima, and to become a different human being. A normal human being lives like any other human being. Not as it is now. Being a police fugitive.

The beautiful twilight sky was unable to be seen clearly because it was covered in a thick fog.

This two-story house is indeed located in the hills, in a remote area in Cijeruk, Bogor.

This house was bought a few months ago, by the syndicate where her family works, and Amanda's been living here for the past three months.

Amanda, who was frightened because she was constantly haunted by Rima in Bandung, finally decided to move to her parents' house in Jakarta.

However, there he only settled for one month, before finally brought his family moved to Singapore.

Two months of living there, Amanda managed to escape and run back to Indonesia. With the help of her two best friends, Davina and Hendri, Amanda was finally able to hide in Jakarta.

But his escape had to end when he was almost caught by the other party. Hendri is forced to contact Rey at her hideout with her coke Amanda, in a country that still belongs to Asia.

Rey sends Calvin on a move to save Amanda. The thin man with a birthmark under his chin is his cocoon confidant, after Rey and Brian.

Somehow Calvin and his men were able to find Amanda. Since then he has been locked up here, and cannot escape again.

Clacking.

Clacking

Clacking

The sound of someone's footsteps was heard approaching the room Amanda was in.

Krrriiieeett

The sound of the door opening made the beautiful woman look over. Amanda stood up from the chair she had been sitting in since. Stepping closer to the tall man standing in the doorway.

A wisp of smile rose on his face as the man opened his arms wide. Amanda walked quickly and burst into the arms of the handsome man she loved so much.

"Koko," he whispered, closing his eyes.
