Heart Thief

Heart Thief
Refusing to Go Home



...****************...


The roar of motor sounds echoed in the deserted streets. Several motorcycles were chasing each other there, making the streets instantly crowded. In the front position there is Daren who rides his bike very fast. Followed by a couple of bikes in the back. Daren is running away from thugs.


Yes, when Daren commits a robbery operation at a gambling house, bad luck turns out to be approaching. Daren was found out, and unfortunately even made the gambling house experience a fire. Of course the owner of the place felt furious, then told his men to make an arrest. Daren almost got caught when he was overwhelmed by dozens of thugs. Luckily, he was able to escape using his motor sport. The pursuit looks tense. Daren agilely drove the motorbike and got into some small alleys.


Daren did the act alone. He could not take Rein anymore, because she was pregnant. It is also good, so Daren can run away more freely.


"Suckers! Where the hell is he?" In an alleyway t-junction that had no lighting, the thugs lost Daren. That guy is really smart to find a shortcut. Daren finally got away.

By dawn Daren returned to his home. The door of the house opened, when the man's motorbike was heard stopping in his yard. It was Rein who opened the door.


"A long time, anyway? Usually a little too? You get caught again?" cecar Rein as Daren reaches the door.


Daren put on a lethargic face. He was so tired of being chased by thugs like that. Daren did not immediately answer Rein's question, he immediately went in and laid his body on the sofa. Rein followed his best friend and landed his butt on the same couch.


"Gue almost got caught earlier" said Daren.


"Kok, can? You make a mistake?"


"Gue is not as good as Marvel in hacking security. It turned out that the gambling house had CCTV that I could not hack, so I was caught. I am overwhelmed, because there are so many people. Finally I deliberately set the house on fire, making their attention, but some people are still chasing. Lucky in Heppy I can still andelin," said Daren boasting his favorite bike.


Daren frowned at the change in Rein's face which was instantly grim. He sat down and looked at the woman's face. "Eh, aren't you sleeping waiting for me? Your face lemes really," added Daren.


"When you go I can't anymore. I'm actually scared."


"Fear what?" ask Daren.


"Our work. Are we going to be like these robbers forever? If we get caught, our lives are at stake. How is my child? I don't want him to follow in his mother's footsteps."


Daren looked at Rein fixedly. The worry emanating from Rein's face was so obvious and made him feel pity. He was tired of doing evil, too. A rough sigh was thrown into the air, accompanied by a thin smile printed on his lips.


"Lo don't worry. Maybe my action earlier was the last, and from now on you do not need to rob with me anymore. I think my savings are enough to make a halal business. From the first I had a plan, I wanted to open a workshop business outside the city, and you can make a restaurant business near my workshop. For the problem of home care, I think this house is also livable. How's it? You want to come with me to move out of town?"


"Out of town?" Rein frowned, "why should it be out of town, Ren?" he asked a little objection.


"We're looking for safe. Here our lives won't be quiet, Sap. Must be a lot of people looking for us, especially that cop husband, right?" daren.


Daren snorted, he had already reminded Abian many times of the matter. That little boy will definitely create trouble for them.


"Gue said the same thing. That kid is just a burden to us. You have to go back to him. You don't want to, you have to take care, Sap! Is it possible ... you still hope to make your husband reciprocate?" Daren is suspicious. Dive into the look of Rein's eyes which may still leave a sense of love for her husband.


"Gue never had any intention of coming back to him. I also tried to persuade Bian to go home."


Daren got up from his seat. Drowsiness and fatigue have taken over his body. "Yes, already. I'm up to you. I hope you don't take too long to let the boy stay with us. I want to sleep first, tired really," said Daren then went to his room.


Rein stared at Daren's back until he was lost behind the door of his room. His mind wandered far thinking about his future. Maybe what Daren said has a point. If he still lives in the same city as Aska, the possibility of meeting the man is very large. As much as possible Rein should be indented.


...****...


By noon, Rein was about to cook something to fill his rumbling stomach. However, the food stock in the refrigerator was exhausted. He also plans to go to the nearest market to buy some groceries for supplies in the next few days. As Daren was still sleeping, he felt sorry to have the man drop off. Rein was about to go alone, but the woman took Abian.


"You want to go to the market for aunty, Bian?" rein asked his nephew.


Bian who was drawing something in his room turned his head. Since living in Daren's house, Abian's work is just like that. He likes to scratch ink on the blank paper Rein bought for him, so he does not get bored there.


"No, ah. Aunty must want to leave me on the road, or take me home," Abian refused, then turned her eyes back to the paper in front.


Rein shook his head, then let out a rough sigh. His feet stepped closer to Abian, then rubbed the top of the child's head. "So you're afraid of auntie Rutuin, Bian. You don't miss you, do you?" persuade Rein.


"Kangen, but Bian hasn't come home yet. Later," said the little boy.


"When? Um you must be looking, honey. Especially if later until Abah and Ambu know. They must be sad you're gone, fuck them."


"Bian wants to wait for the baby to be born first. Om Aska will not dare to say to Abah and Ambu if Bian is missing. Om Aska is afraid of Abah, Aunt," Abian said.


Rein's two eyebrows almost fused together when his forehead wrinkled deeply. "It's a long time, Bian. Why wait until the baby is born? What will your school be? You'll miss the lesson."


"Biarin. Bian has always been chasing you down" said Abian. The boy tilted his body and faced Rein. His head was deliberately attached to Rein's stomach, "at that time Bian did not stop to see if Bian was born into the world. Now Bian wants to see his son Om Aska. Bian will think of him as Bian's dead brother. Bian still hopes that aunt will return the same Om Aska. Kasian's son, Aunty, if he should be separated from his father." Abian finds out that the child Rein conceived is Aska's son, when she overhears Rein's previous conversation with Daren.


Rein was filled to hear Abian say that. He recalled his past mistakes. His guilt returned to the surface. Is this a sign that he must give up the child to be given to his family Abian? Rein owes his life to the family, should he know himself and let his son live a decent life with Aska. At least, the child will be more honorable, rather than living with him who works as a criminal.
