Duren Palm
Striking terror



Where am I? Why are my eyes closed and my hands tied? Oh my god help me .. I'm afraid .. dad .. mom .. mas Ardi ... Shinta .. help me .. help!!! Inner Rianti. He moved his hand, trying to untie such a strong bond.


Not long after, the door opened. There were footsteps of someone approaching and stopped right in front of him. Rianti thrashed, he hoped that the man would let go of his bound hand.


But instead of helping, the man laughed out loud. Rianti's heart shrunk, his fingers began to numb and cold sweat poured down his body.


"Open the tie!" That person's orders, and someone from behind followed his instructions.


Rianti opened his eyes, and focused his gaze on the person in front of him. Rianti's eyes widened after knowing that the one who came was Ardi, her own future husband.


"Mas Ardi! Mas, help me. They want to hurt me .." said Rianti while looking around. There were four large men in black clothes there. Yet Ardi was only speechless and etched a terrible grin on his lips.


"Mas please help me Mas, please .." whine Rianti again. Rianti's eyes began to glaze over as Ardi did not budge. The man pulled out a chair and sat opposite him.


"You are a stupid girl!!! You think I really want to make you a wife? No Rianti, no!!!" reveal Ardi while playing the tip of the dagger to Rianti's pale face. Not spared also the devil's smile still attached to his face.


Rianti was silent and could not say anything. He just cried without a sound. Occasionally he glanced at the dagger that was stuck to his facial skin.


"You are just a careless innocent girl!!! I just want to have fun with you, and now I'm bored. Isn't it natural that I'll eliminate you?" ardi said full of nutrition.


The dagger was now right in Rianti's chest. Rianti shed tears, hoping for forgiveness from the man he thought was kind.


Ardi brought his face closer and whispered in Rianti's ear.


"Goodbye, baby!!! said Ardi while smiling cunningly. He began swinging the dagger right in Rianti's heart.


Arghc ...


"No ... no .. no!!!" rianti chuckled but his eyes were still closed. Sweat poured down and soaked his body.


"Rc ... Ri ... Ri ... wake up baby, wake up!" exclaimed Dewi while patting slowly Rianti cheeks. He was so panicked to see the child never wake up from his nightmare.


Several times he shook Rianti's shoulder but the child was still in the dream. Until he finally opened his eyes. He quickly hugged the body of the mother who was right in front of him.


"Oh, I don't want to get married. I want to cancel this marriage. I fear. That guy wants to kill me. He's a psychopath, ma'am," whined Rianti in succession.


The goddess released a hug and looked at her son's eyes after goal.


"Passionate darling .. calm down. It was just a nightmare. Nothing will happen to you" explained the Goddess trying to calm down. Then re-hugged Rianti's small body.


After a while, Rianti began to calm down and the sound of crying subsided, Dewi again took a hug and looked at Rianti's pale face.


"Is it calm now?" ask Goddess.


Rianti simply nodded and wiped away the trace of tears on her cheeks.


"If so quickly take ablution, continue to pray at dawn, already five o'clock, aar you bad luck," the Goddess ordered while pointing to the wall clock shaped hello kitty.


Rianti just nodded and immediately did as ordered by the mother.


***


Almost 3 hours Rianti locked himself in the room. Nightmares last night are still strongly held in memory. He felt restless and walked around in his room.


Was it because of a prank call yesterday afternoon? My feeling is not good.


Rianti picked up the phone on the bed and tried to contact Ardi, but there was no answer. Many times try, still can not connect. He eventually contacted Mahendra, his future father-in-law.


"Wa'alaikumsalam, Ardi again went to the countryside, he said there were campus activities there. The day after tomorrow we may just go home. He could not be contacted because there was no signal" Mahendra said across the phone.


"Why? Are you starting to miss him?" seduce Mahendra and engrave a little smile on his aging face.


Rianti misbehaved. It's a question that's to the point.


"It's not so, Om. Yes it is ... Riri hang up the phone. Assalamualaikum."


"Wa'alaikumsalam" replied Mahendra who was across the phone.


Rianti put his body on the bed


Ah**** I am so sorry. Why ask rich. Ahh .. I'm ashamed. Shame on this, Inner Rianti. He covered his face with a pillow. Rolling to and fro and ceaselessly cursing his ridiculous behavior.


"Maybe true, this is just a nightmare. Dreams cannot come true. What could happen anyway? If I'm at home continue," muttered Rianti.


Ceklek.


The door opened and there was a mother there.


"Son, the forerunner called. They say you can't get married on Sunday. The parents have a need, your marriage will be accelerated to Friday," said Dewi while sitting near Rianti.


Rianti who was initially lying down immediately got up and tried to sit face to face with his mother.


"Means 4 more days dong, Buk," said Rianti. Rianti looks anxious but tries to smile in front of her mother.


A few minutes later there was a noise on the terrace of the house. Rianti who was originally in the room headed straight towards the source of the sound. How surprised he was when he saw his brother sitting on a wheelchair.


"Why are you doing this, brother?" asked the half-hysterical Goddess while holding the bandage on her head, and the legs of her eldest child.


"It's okay, Mom. Eka was just a car. Luckily there was Mas Irwan there," replied Reka while forcing a smile.


"My name is Irwan Syahputra. It just so happened that I passed by at the scene," said Irwan as he reached out.


"Thank you very much, son," said Ady, shaking Irwan's hand.


"Come in first, Son Irwan," he added. Ady's invitation was followed by Irwan, Dewi and Rianti.


Inside the house, the Goddess was unceasingly asking. His heart ached to see the child he gave birth to suffer injuries that looked quite serious.


"Tok can be like this, Kak .. Are you really okay?" ask the Goddess who can't help her worry.


"It's okay, Buk. The doctor said it was just a sprain, so told to rest a week out it could return to normal," said Reka trying to relax her mother.


Seeing such a design makes Rianti's feelings come back unbecoming.


"This incident has nothing to do with last night's phone, right?" batin Rianti churned.


Rianti stepped into the room leaving his family who were talking to Irwan.
