POV Deno (Sunday Nelda)
‘’For what did you feed me? Better just kill me!’’ yell loudly.
I've been held here for a week. Kicks and punches I faced, to make my face battered like this. My face hurts so much. I thought my in-laws were gonna take me out of town, but not as expected. He's really good at making me believe.
I was taken to an old empty house. Still remembered by me when I was in the car, his assistant smothered my mouth to make me faint. I'm sure there's a recipe that he put on that handkerchief. Not long ago suddenly I was aware of the state of water that soaked my face and my entire body. I'm sure it was that sneaky woman who doused it. Why am I being such a fool. Goddamnit!
‘’Awas if I could get out of here. I'll reply to everyone,’’ grumbled in my heart that looked at the two burly men.
‘’Ngapain loh glares at us like that? Want to run away, huh?’’ Spontaneously I looked away.
‘’E—enggak.’’
Yes, now I cannot fight them with my weak body condition. What I have died for nothing. I had to obey all the will of these two savage men.
My eyes continued to stare at the plate of rice he had placed near me. The stomach feels hungry. However, what is the power of the middle hand is tied. Ah, I'm like living in hell. A sick body that continues to get hits and blows from the women every day.
‘’Adik,’’ muttered me in the heart that remembered my only child way.
I don't know why my heart is so sad right now. The face of my heart looms in the eye. Why do I feel so much longing for my son now.
‘’Nak, ma’af Papa.’’
‘’Hei! Even dumbly. What do you want to eat? Basic, already fed even do not want to eat,’’ snapped that makes me aghast.
The man rushed over to me and bribed me violently until my mouth was filled with a lot of rice, even spilled out.
‘’Eat!’’ The man kept stuffing my mouth with rice to make me regurgitate the rice.
‘’Puahhh!’’
‘’Bless! What is lasalin?’’ He got up and looked at me very sharply, like a lion about to pounce on its prey.
I clenched my hands. If only I had the strength to stand up and finish off the two men, I would. But what is power. My hands are tied and my body is weak from getting hit and hit every day. Will I die in vain here? Ah, I don't want to.
‘’Chika, where are you, dear? Why don't you say goodbye? Are you cooperating with that woman?’’
I was instantly reminded of my second wife, Chika. Women who had just been married a week forcibly in the traditional hall because of the raided citizens. Why since the last meeting at the hospital with him he hasn't contacted me. Did he do it all on purpose? Do I mean nothing more to her eyes?
Ah, but isn't she pregnant with my flesh-blood child? Then why would he walk away from me like this, even in my tormented and helpless state, I needed his help. Or has the woman incited her son to ignore me, to stay away from me? A thousand questions that came to my mind.

‘’Mi, please let me go! Why would Mami treat me like a gini,’’ I said with a hearty look at the woman who was standing while staring intently at me. I don't know when he came here.
‘’You want to release my daughter-in-law?’’ He rushed up to me and laughed loudly.
‘’Kalo alone I have the power will I destroy this damned woman,’’ I said in my heart.
‘’Bring him!’’ he said to the two men and pointed at me. Where am I going to be taken by them?
‘’Ma—Mami? Where do I want to take you?’’
‘’We want to go for a walk,’’ said the cunning woman while chuckling at me.
I can't believe it from this woman's mouth, because I've been through it yesterday. He said that he wanted to take me out of town and live there with Chika, but what was the truth? I'm being held captive and tortured in this damned empty house. What am I supposed to do so I can run away from here?
‘’Handphone? Where's my phone?’’
I just remembered, last time I held a cell phone when I was in that goddamn woman's car, before they went on a mission. I don't know how I escaped them anymore. Without saying, the two men took me in a tied hand.
‘’Release!’’ I shouted with all my heart.
‘’Diem!’’ it was the one that made me silent.
I don't know why I'm thinking so weird. I'm afraid that this cunning woman and her two men are treating me more sadistically than ever before. Nah! I'm sure I still have a chance to get away from them. The car is moving very fast. How do I shout to be heard by the people out there?
‘’To—tolooong!’’ my screams made them gasp.
‘’Hei, you can save?’’ The man's hand slapped me spontaneously.
‘’Do not waste your energy. Just close his mouth,’’ the sly woman's word that makes my eyes glare.
‘’Good, Bu.’’ He rushed to cut my mouth making it hard for me to talk.
‘’Basic jerk! Just watch out all of you. I will reply more cruelly than this,’’ threatened me in my heart.
The man who was driving was smiling and looking at me, as well as the man sitting next to me. Just watch out for you! I will repay all this cruel treatment.
‘’I want to take where exactly?’’
There was no break in my eyes looking around this street through the window. So quiet, only one or two vehicles passed by. I'm getting worried about it. What do they want? Do they have any more evil plans for me?
‘’Bring him down!’’
‘’Good, Bu.’’
I tried to scream, but I couldn't because my mouth was bandaged. The man took me out. I looked at a place that horrified me. Yeah, ravine. Right in front of me was a chasm below. My mind drifted far away and anxiety just came.
‘’What, I...’’ I shook my head quickly.
God, how am I supposed to get away from them with this helpless limp. Where can I run.
‘’Wah, the place is really good, yes?’’ The sly woman looked at me while clapping her hands.
He coded both of his men, I don't know what they're gonna do to me. It turned out that the man opened my mouth violently. One more person still holds my body.
‘’Before the waterfall to the ravine there. What are the words you want to say?’’
Makes my eyes perfectly round, my chest thumping.
‘’A—what do you mean? Don't mess with me,’’ ketusku stammered and stepped back.
‘’Loh more affectionate same life child loh or life loh alone?’’
I was really surprised by it. What does this jerk mean? Does he intend to harm my son? How did he know I had a child? I stayed silent for a long time, not knowing what to do.
‘’Hei, motherfucker! Answer!’’ The man pulled my collar.
‘’We don't have much time. Just do what I told you!’’
He hit me in the stomach, causing me to stagger and groan in pain.
‘’What are the last words loh?!’’
‘’Atau..Loh want that loh kid we spent?’’
‘’Ja—jangan,’’ sahutku fast while enduring tremendous pain. I'm nodding. The camera is facing me.
‘’Dik, ma’afkan Papa yes. My dad is very much the same sister. Same with Mama yes. Don't be naughty.’’
‘’For you Nelda. I am very sorry for all the things I have done to you and our children. Ma’afkan me. Take good care of our child. Goodbye,’’ I said with tears of divorce.
‘’Good,’’ said as he tilted his lips. Soon, the man's hand spontaneously pushed against my body.
Seriate.
