Hazal turned his gaze around, looking across from his parents' belly button, about ten meters away. He saw a man in a leather jacket and a black baseball cap.
The man was like the passenger of the van I saw on the road. It turns out that he went to this place as well, maybe his family died. The man's face looked sad.
"What's wrong? Do you know them?" japheth asked who saw Hazal watching the mourners who were burying someone who had just died.
Hazal shook his head then answered Japheth's question, "No, just now on the street I saw the man in the hat sitting in the car behind us, it turns out he was here too. Perhaps the deceased was a member of his family, look at the man in the hat looking very sad."
"Everyone who comes here must be sad. Let's go home !" invite Japheth, who immediately took Hazal's hand, to walk to the exit. But Hazal stopped his steps, apparently the presence of the man in the hat caught his attention. Like a magnet, which pulls itself to approach the baseball cap guy.
"Japheth, we'd better get through that crowd of mourners" Hazal said. At first Japheth refused, because if they had to pass through the crowd of mourners, they would have to turn away from the exit. Finally, Japheth was forced to follow Hazal.
The couple walked over to the crowd of mourners who numbered only about five.
The funeral procession was over, the man in the hat handed out several pieces of money to the mourners, as they were not from the family or relatives of the man. The mourners were just hired men who were asked to bring their mother's coffin. After receiving the money from the man, all the mourners said goodbye and left him alone.
Hazal halted his steps when he was near the still-wet navel, his bead looking at the small tombstone that had just been attached. There was no obvious name written on the tombstone.
"Why did we stop?" ask Japheth who did not understand Hazal's attitude.
Hazal did not answer Japheth's words. The thrust on Hazal's body grew stronger, unconsciously walking to approach the man in the baseball cap. It was as if the man had bewitched him to come closer to him. But Japheth stopped Hazal's footsteps by holding her lover's hand. Hazal's consciousness returned.
"Who is he? Do you know him?" ask Japheth suddenly.
"No, I don't know him. But somehow, there was something inside that man that pulled me to get close to him" said Hazal, who was also confused by herself.
Japheth, who did not want anything to happen to Hazal, immediately invited his lover to leave the burial place. But Hazal refused. Unbeknownst to them, the man stopped right in front of Hazal and Japheth, talking to the tomb keeper, asking the guard to always clean the navel of his father and mother.
When he heard the voice of the man in the baseball cap, Hazal's face turned pale as if he were looking at a ghost. Quickly his thoughts and memories worked back in time, twenty years ago. He held his head which began to pulsate very loudly, the words that were always recorded in his memory reappeared.
"....Take it easy, I will ease your suffering.I will soon send you both to hell." The voice of his father and mother. Dor. dor.
That baritone voice, a voice he had known all his life. The voice of the man in the baseball cap was exactly the same as the murderous voice of his parents. "He. he.." Hazal's voice stuck in his throat.
Uhuk... There was the sound of Hazal coughing.
"He... who is he?" japheth asked who had captured Hazal's body, which had almost fallen to the ground. The man in the baseball cap had already walked a few steps away from Hazal and Japheth.
"He's... Ted Baxter !!" hazal shouted with all his might to pronounce the name of his parents' killer. His head was getting sicker, he was sitting limp on the ground that was still wet.
"What's? Where's Ted Baxter?" japheth, surprised and worried about Hazal's agonizing condition, asked him, holding his head.
"The man in the baseball cap. Auuwww....my head...!! Hurry Japheth...hurry up and chase him.Don't mind me !!" shouts Hazal with a wail. He pushed Japheth's body away from him.
Japheth is confused by the current situation, where he must choose to keep Hazal or choose to pursue Ted Baxter.
"Quick Japheth !!! Go !!! Don't mind me !! Auwww....my head...!!" shouts Hazal who keeps holding her head. Her tears flowed withstanding the pain in her head.
Japheth eventually chose to pursue Ted Baxter. He saw that the man in the baseball cap was already walking towards the exit, immediately he ran after him. If it is true that the man is Ted Baxter, then he should not lose his precious opportunity this time, because this opportunity only comes once.
"Ted Baxter, stop you !!" japheth cried out to the man in the baseball cap. The man responded to Japheth's cry, he stopped his steps and looked back, seeing Japheth chasing after him.
"It turns out to be true, that man is Ted Baxter," muttered Yafet as he ran.
Realizing that he was in danger, Ted Baxter immediately ran through the exit. Seeing his fugitive escape, Japheth immediately jumped over the guardrail in front of the cemetery area, he confronted Ted Baxter. The man was surprised because suddenly Japheth was already in front of him. "Who are you?" ask Ted Baxter.
"You don't need to know who I am, but I know who you are Ted Baxter !! The Danner family killer !!" yafet shouted while kicking Ted in the face. Japheth's kick made Ted Baxter fall and made his baseball cap slip and fall to the ground. Sparks of fresh blood spilled out from Ted's torn mouth, his face looking pale, as Japheth called him the Danner family killer. The sins that he had been locked up for twenty years were finally exposed.
Seen in front of Japheth, stood a bald man, with a clean face without sideburns, a large mole no longer existed beside his forehead. Ted's new look.
Japheth approached Ted Baxter, about to hit the man but Japheth's punch was caught by Ted Baxter. The bald man quickly kicked Japheth in the lower abdomen and made Japheth's body move away from him. Seeing that there was empty space, Ted Baxter immediately ran away from Japheth.
These two men continued to chase each other away from the burial area. When they arrived at the market, Ted Baxter continued to run away from Japheth. He saw empty oil drums neatly arranged in front of a shop. He then rolled the drums to block Japheth. His actions were successful, and Japheth seemed overwhelmed avoiding the drums and made Japheth's footsteps slightly obstructed.
After making it past the drum obstacle, Japheth sees Ted Baxter deflecting himself to the right. Japheth followed him, still running behind Ted. His footsteps were close to the killer, but suddenly Ted Baxter picked up fruit and vegetables from a vegetable seller at the market and threw them at Japheth. The sellers were angry and shouted at Ted Baxter. The falling fruit and vegetables made the ground below slippery, almost as Japheth slipped in the market.
Ted Baxter was still running in front of Japheth. Hazal's lover saw a large fruit similar to a watermelon in a fruit basket. Soon he picked up the fruit and threw it at Ted Baxter. On target, the fruit hit Ted Baxter's bald head, making the man stop his run. He looked back while holding his head that felt a little dizzy.
When Ted Baxter was caught off guard, Japheth did not waste the opportunity, he ran quickly and then jumped while doing a continuous kick. The kick hit Ted Baxter's chest in a row, causing the criminal's body to stagger and fall to the ground.
Japheth who thought Ted Baxter had given up, immediately approached the criminal and grabbed his black jacket. Nuran's husband turned out to be quite tough, even though he was old. He slammed his forehead into Japheth's forehead in front of him. "Auww..," said the surprised Japheth and immediately took off the grip of his hand and retreated instantly. Japheth's gaze was a little blurry, he shook his head.
Seeing this, Ted Baxter lifted up Japheth's body and shouted, "You can't beat me, you stinking boy !!" Then Japheth threw Japheth's body on the butcher's table. Bruaaaaa.......!!!! the sound of Japheth's body landing on the table and the wooden table was smashed. The people in the market did not dare to break them, quickly they lined up on the sidelines and cheered the two heroes.
Japheth felt a chill all over his body, his sweat and blood pouring from the top of his head. He stood up and took off the jacket that weighed on his body to move.
Ted Baxter, who saw Japheth standing back, immediately picked up a large butcher knife near the broken table. He swung the butcher's knife at Japheth's body and said, "Never interfere in my business, you little boy !! Or you'll end up just like the Danners !!"
The Emir's son tried to avoid Ted Baxter's knife slash. Luckily the jacket he took off could be the slash-holding of that butcher knife. Unable to withstand the sharpness of the knife, the jacket was finally torn, almost the knife split Japheth's head. If only Japheth had not quickly avoided it.
Japheth kicked the hand of Ted Baxter who was holding the butcher's knife, making it slip from his grasp.
Soon Ted Baxter ran quite fast and got into a densely populated settlement. Many buildings of flats lined up neatly along that street. Japheth, who was still chasing Ted, immediately jumped and ran on the roof of the cars parked on the side of the road. The action attracted the attention of many people. As soon as he saw Ted in front of him, Japheth immediately jumped up and pounced on the criminal, their bodies both rolling on the highway.
At the cemetery...
Hazal, who was still groaning in pain, tried her hardest to hold on.
Fathering...Mother give me strength to endure, please protect Japheth...
"Auuwww..pain..," cried Hazal as she closed her eyes, her tears flowing withstanding her pain.
I cannot be weak, I must help Japheth...
Holding his head, he opened his bag and took his cell phone. Groans of pain kept coming out of his mouth, the longer his head felt like it was about to break. With a weak body, he calls the police and informs them that fugitive Ted Baxter is in the vicinity of the cemetery. After closing his phone, he tried to stand up and walk.
But as the headache grew, Hazal fell and hit her head on a stone belly button. His body fell on the ground and fresh blood flowed from his head.
Return to the residential area...
Ted manages to escape Japheth's confines and runs up the staircase. He walked against the wall of the building and into an open window. His presence made the residents of the flats surprised, because they were doing intimacy suddenly Ted Baxter appeared from the window watching the action husband and wife.
The husband was angry, making Ted Baxter immediately out of the window. But suddenly Japheth appears from the same window and kicks Ted's body to re-enter the room. In the room, the couple pulled a blanket to cover their bodies, and a thousand languages were silent watching Japheth and Ted fight. The bald man smote Japheth's face, and fresh blood flowed from Japheth's nose and lips.
Ted Baxter managed to get out of the bedroom door and continued to run towards the roof of the flats, Japheth chased after him. They were chasing each other, jumping building after building, fighting on the roof of the building. Until finally Ted Baxter down using a water pipe, Japheth also did the same. The criminal ran and entered a narrow passageway.
Japheth continued to follow him from behind, and they ended up stuck in the empty courtyard which was a dead end. In front of Ted Baxter was a fairly high iron fence with barbed wire wrapped around the top. Behind Ted Baxter, Japheth was waiting for him.
"You can't run, Ted Baxter !!" japheth shouted with ferocity.
"What do you want? You want some money? I can give you a lot of money, as long as you let me go" Ted said with a disjointed breath.
"You're wrong to donate your money to me. All I want is to take you to hell to meet the Danner family !!" japheth exclaimed, and threw both his fists into the belly of Ted Baxter. Ted's body was pushed back and sandwiched between Japheth's hand and the iron fence behind him.
"You're no match for me son of a bitch !!" yelled Ted Baxter while hitting Japheth on the neck with his elbow, kicking Japheth in the face and replying to Japheth's punch. He made the young man fall down and vomit blood.
Ted quickly climbed the iron fence behind him. "Stop you, Ted Baxter !!" yapheth cried out who was trying to stand up. But Ted Baxter was already on top of the iron fence and was about to step his foot over the other side of the fence. Seeing this, Japheth's feet were limp, and he felt himself defeated.
Suddenly there was a voice that shocked the two of them, "Ted Baxter !! Surrender yourself, you've been surrounded !! Give up Ted Baxter !!" shouted the police captain from his hardener. It was seen that the police forces had been around the iron fence ready with their firearms.
"Well done, Ted Baxter !!" japheth.
Seeing the police forces coming, Japheth's spirit reappeared. "This time, you'll have to pay for what you did for wiping out the entire Danner family !!" japheth cried out full of his anger. He immediately jumped off the deck and kicked Ted Baxter in the chest sitting on the barbed wire. Japheth's kick this time was very strong, making Ted Baxter's body goosebumps and fall in the police ranks. Ted held onto his painful chest and his heavy breathing. Police officers handcuffed Ted Baxter's hands and took him to the police station.
The police captain helped Japheth to his feet, and he thanked Japheth for helping the Turkish police to arrest the fugitive who had been missing for years.
"Thanks to a phone call from a woman who told me information about Ted Baxter's whereabouts" the Police Captain said, shaking hands with Japheth. After saying goodbye to Japheth, the Police Captain left.
"A woman called the police?" japheth muttered alone. He also remembered Hazal.
"Sure Hazal called the police. O Lord, I have left him at the burial place" Japheth cried to himself. Soon he runs back to the cemetery to see Hazal's condition.
A few minutes later, he arrived at the cemetery. He looked around, the place was quiet, there was no one there. He screams Hazal's name, he walks down the car park, only his own car is left there. He didn't see Hazal in the car.
As Japheth returned to the cemetery, he walked in and shouted Hazal's name. He returned down the road to the last eddies when he parted with Hazal. Not far from the navel, he saw the legs of someone lying next to the navel. The color of her trousers is the same as that of Hazal. He immediately approached the body. It turned out to be a woman, she turned the woman's body and face. " Hazal?" japheth said with surprise
He had Hazal's head on his claps, both of Hazal's cheeks. Her lover's face was pale like a corpse. A aura of fear flowed in Japheth's body. He saw his own palm holding Hazal's head in red, Hazal's blood.
"Ti-dak.. ti-dak.ini ti-dak bo-leh happened," said Japheth stammeringly. Japheth's hands and body shook. He shook Hazal's body.
"Wake up Hazal, open your eyes.open your eyes dear." cried Japheth. But Hazal's body was still stretched stiff, motionless.
"Hazal.......!!!" japheth cried out sadly and embraced the body of the woman he loved.
