Desta held back his anger after finding out that Sita was taken away by Thunder. Although angry, he did not show it frankly. Because, to Desta, Thunder was a money tree to him. Better to give up for a while.
It was getting late when he started to feel sleepy. He lay down on a soft and warm bed. There is only one drawback, a wife. She sighed as she recalled her ever-failing romance fate.
The sound of knocking on the door surprised him. She lazily got up from her sleep towards the door. With his eyes still half Watt, he opened the door slowly. His eyes were wide open as he knew who was coming like a bunch of thugs.
"Are you really named Desta?" ask one of them.
"Right, what's up?" ask Desta curiously.
No one answered. One of them immediately gestured for the other to beat up Desta. They share the task, some hold Desta and some beat him. Desta was shocked but he could not avoid the ambush of those people.
"God, geez. What are you guys doing? What's my fault, you're wrong people" Desta's poison while enduring the pain of being hit in the face and chest many times.
"Stop, let him not die curious, I'll tell you what his mistake was," said their boss named Tedy.
"Boss, I never offended the Boss. I don't know the Boss either" Desta said as he grimaced in pain.
"You know Sita? The girl you gave me stimulant medicine and will you stammer is my sister. Knew right?" asked Tedy while lifting Desta's bruised chin.
"Si--Sita, I know him. I didn't mean to fuck up your sister. I just gave him a little medicine, for him to submit to me," Desta stuttered.
"Just a little, but still the medicine and with your evil intentions. Intention, I don't take it, let alone that you've done it."
Tedy slapped Desta's face hard. Desta couldn't fight back because Tedy's men were still preparing beside Desta.
"Soon leave this place and town. I'll give you until noon tomorrow. If you don't leave, then you will experience something even more miserable than this. Even I can kill you," threatened Tedy.
"Don't kill me. Well, before noon I must have left this city," replied Desta in fear.
"Well, watch out if you dare to lie. We won't be sad anymore. Come on, let's go!" talk to Tedy loud.
"Ready, Boss."
Tedy and his men immediately left behind a battered-looking Desta and continued to grimace in pain. Desta felt apes once his life. The wife could not, even the pain she received. It turns out Sita has a brother of a thug. If he knew this, he wouldn't be playing with fire.
There was nothing more that Desta could do, other than leave, as her brother Sita wished. Desta doesn't want to deal with thugs or cops. Because he's afraid of prison. Desta couldn't sleep in such a state. In fact, the pain was tormenting him even more.
The next day, Desta began to put his clothes and personal belongings into a suitcase. Unfortunately, he did not have much money to be able to return to the village. He had to call Thunder to ask for money. But Thunder did not pick up his phone. Desta became desperate. Desta was puzzled as to where he could get the money.
Her sneaky smile expanded and she immediately left with her suitcase, riding in a car belonging to Thunder that she happened to have borrowed since a week ago. Apparently he's headed to Naina's school. Naina is seen waiting for someone to pick her up. Desta approaches Naina and Bu Guru to begin the action.
"Naina, this is uncle" Desta said with a smile. " You remember uncle, right? Uncle your mother's friend from the village."
"Uncle, his friend's mother from the village? Like Uncle Wendi and Madam Sri?" ask Naina
"How's Naina, is she really your mother's friend from the village?" ask the Teacher.
"If you don't believe me, this is my ID card, the address is the same as Naina's mother's address" Desta said, issuing a ID card.
Desta hopes, Master and Naina trust him. After Bu Guru saw the address of Desta was the same as Lilis' address. Once convinced, Naina goes with Desta, but not to her house but to a restaurant. Desta accidentally gets Lilis and Nathan to panic and thinks Naina was kidnapped.
"Uncle, why are we here? Naina wants to go home now" Naina said as she pulled on Desta's shirt.
"Naina, I'll take you home. Now we eat first. There's fried chicken, crispy chicken. Which one is Naina going for?" desta asked as she looked at her biological child whom she could not admit to now.
"Naina wants to go home uncle. Naina wants to see mom" Naina replied in tears.
"Naina, don't cry. Or uncle will never take you to see your mother again!" snapped Desta.
Naina felt fear after being yelled at by Desta. Her crying also stopped and only her face looked terrified. Afraid, if it was true that he would not be reunited with his mother, his mother would be very sad.
"Eat, this chicken first, after that uncle will take you home" said Desta while thrusting the crispy chicken at Naina.
Naina receives and eats the crispy chicken from Desta without saying a word. Naina occasionally looked at Desta with a question mark.
Is he really a friend of mother, why is he so fierce? inner Naina.
Desta was still thinking of ways to get money from Lilis, without involving the police. Desta looked at Naina's still very innocent face.
I'm sorry, Naina. I was forced to use you to get money from your mother. Dad is a useless father to you and your mother, inner Desta.
Desta immediately called Lilis's mobile number. First ring, no answer. Desta repeated again for the second. Still no answer. Desta took a deep breath in annoyance, Lilis did not raise her call.
Forced, Desta writes a message to Lilis, through her WA number. A message that would definitely make Lilis contact him directly.
Lilis, Naina is with me. If you want Naina back, call me as soon as possible, said a message Desta wrote to Lilis.
Desta looked back at Naina who seemed forced to eat the crispy chicken he gave her. After feeling Naina was full, Desta took Naina to a playground. There was quite quiet, only seen some mothers and children who were playing.
Desta takes Naina down to look around the park. But Naina refused and sat in the car. Although Desta was annoyed at Naina who did not listen to her words, it was probably better for her and Naina to stay in the car.
Desta was still waiting, his message was read by Lilis. As the day grew, there was no sign of Lilis contacting her. The message has entered and already ticked two, but it has not seen a blue tick, meaning it has not been read by Lilis.
Desta leaned his head on the seat of his car, to remove the fatigue on his head. Also the scars on his face and body still hurt.
Seeing Desta close her eyes, Naina slowly opened the door of the unlocked car. Naina was happy because the door had already opened. He lowered one of his legs and almost his second leg also went down. Unfortunately, Desta woke up and immediately pulled back the body of Naina who was about to strong the car.
"Don't expect you to get away from me, Naina," Desta muttered.
