Whoever spreads the seed, he will feel the harvest. Whoever sows the wind will reap the storm. And whoever sows good will find prosperity easily.

Three days after the drug courier ambush, the atmosphere in the city of Jogjakarta began to calm. People begin to forget about the event and no longer talk about it. In the parking lot outside the airport, there were new people. Ballan and his friends were given three days off by Melin. During those three days, he kept a close eye on Banardi and Andreas' movements.

But he did not find anything strange.

But that afternoon, the two suddenly disappeared from Ballan's supervision. As he searched in the usual place of residence, nothing. Likewise when he visited the places they used to hang out he could not find them either. None of his friends knew where they were going. Ballan hurriedly reported it to Melin.

“I'm sorry the chairman, Banardi and Andreas went somewhere since this morning,” Ballan said.

Melin's face immediately gasped. Marlon and Erizal were similarly shocked.

“How can you fail to perform your duties Ballan?” marlon asked while holding back the anger.

Apparently he no longer wanted to show his dislike to Ballan in front of his best friend.

“Last night they were still with me. We sat down and talked at the coffee shop ‘Mbekayu Siti’ until late. At midnight they go home to sleep. I followed them secretly to their house. Nothing strange.”

“And today you haven't seen them since morning?” ask Melin.

“Ya, chairman.”

Ballan lowered his head. Melin cast her gaze out, then looked at the state of affairs in every corner of the neighborhood of Misman's house. I don't know what he's looking for, but his feelings say there will be some people coming. Erizal approached him from behind, apparently he felt the same way. Her ears are like hearing someone's cry.

“What's Melin?” whispered.

“Did you also hear Zal?” melin without looking.

Erizal was silent for a while, trying to sharpen his hearing. The sound of crying was still heard even though far away.

“You mean, ... the sound of that cry?” ask Erizal doubtfully.

Melin nodded her head. And the voice was getting louder and louder approaching them. Erizal looked at the faces of Marlon and Ballan.

“Do you hear the sound of people crying?”

Marlon and Ballan nodded together.

“Iya. His voice is getting louder, and heading to our headquarters.” Marlon said.

Without being in command, Erizal, Marlon and Ballan immediately stood on the porch of the house and acted alert. While Melin stood behind them with a tense face. The sound of a man's cry drew closer to the end of their alley. Apart from crying she also spoke to herself without any clear meaning. The people who saw him all the way were just speechless to hear him. They are reluctant to deal with Misman's gang's children.

“Eh, is that Andreas' voice?” balan.

Melin gasped, Marlon jumped straight into the street while Erizal just frowned. They all focused their attention to the end of the alley.

“Hua...hua,..! My friend died…! My friend died..huaaa..!”

At the end of the alley came an old man. Both of his hands pulled the end of a cart without a roof into the alley. While behind the wagon was seen a young man pushing him while crying.

“Hua...hua,..! My friend died…! My friend died..huaaa..!”

Ballan widened his eyes.

“Andreas!” his yell.

He immediately ran to the cart which stopped right in front of the house. Andreas immediately sat down on the ground. His roar was getting louder.

“Ballan..hua..! Banardi...huaaa..Lan!”.

Ballan looked at Andreas' face in confusion.

“Banardi?:

“Iya Lan, Banardi is dead.. huaaa!”.

Hearing Andreas' words, Ballan's face grew tense.

“What!? Banardi's dead?”

Andreas nodded his head back.

“Tell me, where is Banardi now!” ballan's voice turned loud.

“Huaaa ..!!”

Instead of answering the question, Andreas' crying voice shrieked even higher. Feeling anxious. Ballan extended his palm to Andreas' cheek.

“Plok!”

“Auw!”

The body of the Maumere youth twisted backwards, then fell down. For a moment he was still stunned while feeling pain. He slowly takes his right cheek.

“Where is Banardi now Andreas!” yell Ballan.

Andreas looked at Ballan's face with fear. But the tip of his eyes glanced over the wagon. Followed by his finger. Ballan's two eyes followed Andreas' hand gesture pointing at a sack tied above the carriage. The sack looks new and is made of good material. Ballan approached the sack. Then with a single move, his muscular hand lifted the sack and placed it on the ground.

Ballan glanced at Andreas once more. The young man nodded his head, as if to say that Banardi's body was inside the sack.

“Sret!”

Ballan began to untie the sack. The ties are simple and easy to open. The atmosphere suddenly became very tense. All the attention went to the sack. Their hearts were filled with curiosity. Is there really Banardi's body in that sack? Who would dare to kill him? Banardi is a member of Misman kang who is quite respected. Since the age of five, he had been embraced directly by the legendary thug.

“Plick!”

Ballan opened the rope to the ground. Then with trembling hands, he opened the lips of the sack slowly. After all Banardi was his men in the parking lot he trusted the most. But as soon as the sack opened, and he looked inside to find out its contents, Ballan's face immediately gasped. His body trembled as if he could not believe what he saw. Both of his hands covered his open mouth without him noticing.

“Hueeek ! Hueeek!”

Ballan pulled out his entire stomach. His eyes glared red and his saliva flowed slowly. Many times he opened his mouth, but there was no contents.

“What do you see Ballan?” ask Melin.

Marlon jumped up swiftly. Then he opened the sack wide and showed it to Melin. Both eyes were tightly closed.

“Akh!”

Melin screamed loudly while turning her face away. Erizal, who was curious, took a look inside the sack. Inside was Banardi's head with a grinning smile. But the head was not connected to his body. The head is located at the highest part of the pile of Banardi limbs collected into one. And the limbs are bound in a plastic thick enough so that it does not smell.

“Banardi?” ask Erizal lirih.

Below, the pile of pieces of limb seemed to be mixed with blood scattered here and there. Erizal immediately took three steps back, before falling down like he was helpless. Just this once in his life, he saw a murder victim. And only this time he saw a human body that was cut into pieces after being killed.

“Chairman, Banardi's body has been mutilated!”

Melin went straight into the house, then sat on her throne. The girl tried to calm her heart and mind. How hard the street kids live. Death always lurks the safety of the rulers of the streets at night.
