...CHAPTER 23...
...Mysterious Man...
The morning changed, and the afternoon changed. Silvia was enjoying the green scenery and the twilight sky in the afternoon while watering the flower plants in the yard of the Villa is so spacious.
His eyes occasionally glanced towards the streets to make sure that Devan would be home that day. But nil, the person who was waiting for it did not come home from all night.
"Did he not go to work all day? Going out at night to see you again, she's not home yet... Isn't all her work clothes here? But why did she stay so long in Cathrine's apartment? What exactly happened to those two? Last night I saw her panic when I called Cathrine.." There were so many questions that disturbed Silvia's mind at the time, her face was a deep anxiety. "Shall I call him?!" mumbling itself.
When Silvia wanted to step inside the Villa, Bibi Sari also came out to call out to her while walking quickly towards Silvia.
"Non, Non Silvia no phone, Non!" call him.
Aunt Sari quickly handed Silvia's cell phone which kept ringing loudly on the television room table earlier.
"Who's Bi?" silvia asked while taking her phone in her ART hand.
"That's like it's from Madam Dini." replied Aunt Sari.
Silvia saw the WhatsApp number and it was true that the phone was from her mother-in-law. Silvia's lips put on a smile when she saw the WhatsApp photo made her profile photo Early, was a photo of herself and Dini when they were sitting together on the terrace of Villa at that time. Early right hand grabbed Silvia by the shoulder, while touching her cheek with it.
There was a warmth that Silvia felt when she was close to her mother-in-law, as if Silva was with her late mother again. Dini is a wise and gentle mother. Honestly Silvia was so amazed at him, he was indeed one of the criteria Mother-in-law dream of all daughters-in-law in this world.
Silvia quickly shifted the green handle on the touch screen to the right, and then she attached it to her ear. "Hallo Ma, how are you?" greet Silvia.
["Hallo Silvia, honey does Mama bother you?"]
"No Ma, why?"
["Silvia, is Saturday tomorrow you and Devan can go to Mama's house? There is an important event in the company owned by his extended family Papa, you and Devan must come yes. All Mama also want to know you to all Papa Devan relatives there later.."].
"Em, e me... Wait for an answer from Mas Devan first yes Ma.." said Silvia stammered.
["No need to wait for his decision, if he doesn't want to. He must be forced to come. Oh yeah, now where is he? Let Mama talk to him now.."]
"Em it's anu Mah, Mas Devan has not come home yet." said Silvia.
["Not yet to come home?! What time it's not home. He usually comes home at four in the afternoon?"]
"Yes Mah, but Mas Devan hasn't come home yet. Maybe Mas Devan is busy in his office because he just returned from Paris yesterday..."
["Oh, Mama just sucked! Yes, if so, let Mama call him later."]
"Em, b-good Ma..."
["Yes, Mama hung up again, baby, Assalamualaikum.."].
"Yes Ma... Salam wa'alaikum..."
After the two of them hung up the phone. Silvia held her phone tightly in her hand and held it in her chest. Then Silvia stared again out of the white iron fence in front of her. But there's still no sign of Devan going home today. Then Silvia looked up at the sky. The weather turned cloudy and it looked like it was going to rain that night. Strong winds began to earthy teasing the lush trees, until the dry leaves fell into the air and scattered throughout the yard to the terrace of the Villa.
Silvia rushed inside and closed the door and the Villa window, as the strong wind forced her to open it again.
"It will likely be a heavy rain Non.." said Bibi Sari from behind and hurriedly helped Silvia close all the windows of the room.
"Yes Bi, the clothesline in the backyard has been picked up, right Bi, and the kitchen doors and windows are also closed?" silvia asked in a panic.
"Udeh Non from earlier,"
"Thank God, I'm afraid this strong wind will ruin everything" he fretted
"Yes Non... Duh where we're just two more here." said Aunt Sari who began to worry about something, while re-mas-re-mas her own hand.
"Why is Bi? How are you scared? Silvia was used to living alone in Bogor. So not too scared."
"Bu-not that it's Non. Bibi is only afraid of aje if every mallem again heavy rain gini there is a prank. Many incidents of luxury homes in the area are the target of bad people who seek opportunities in the narrow to do the action. These villas are far from the houses. So Auntie is worried that if anything happens to us Non, let alone us women, how can we both fight them!" he was full of worry on his face.
"Ah Auntie do not want to do it dong, we just pray that nothing happens with us yes." said Silvia tried to calm the middle-aged woman's heart. "If Bibi is afraid, Bibi can sleep in Silvia's room." her quick-witted suggestion agreed by Aunt Sari.
"I-iya Non, yes!"
*****
Silvia and Aunt Sari split up to turn on all the lights in each room, as it was getting dark. And sure enough before long, the rain fell swiftly accompanied by a flash of fire that lit from the sky as well as the rumbling of thunder that was mutually earthy.
When all the lights were on, there was a black shadow running quickly outside the kitchen window. Both of them were shocked and looked at each other with frightened faces.
"Bi, did Auntie just see something?" silvia whispered to Aunt Sari in a panic. His body suddenly shook. Aunt Sari nodded and was no less afraid.
"I-iye Non, Auntie look.." she said slowly.
Suddenly the loud knocking on the back door startled the two, and they spontaneously hugged each other.
"Who is Bi?" Silvia asked again, while Aunt Sari shook her head not knowing.
Silvia hurriedly took the teplon on the side hanger of the dish rack and gave it to Bi Sari. "Hold this Bi, just in case." he said in a soft, half-snouted voice. Aunt Sari also nodded in obedience. He held it tightly in his hand and walked slowly into the kitchen.
Aunt Sari was on standby there. Silvia reached into her cell phone in the front pocket of her nightgown, and called Devan's number for help. Hoping that the man with the title of her husband will come to the Villa as soon as possible and in time to help them. But unfortunately Devan's number has no answer at all even though the number has been connected. Silvia called more than three calls. But there is no answer yet.
Silvia still did not give up she kept calling Devan's number until her phone was completely lifted. He does not care if his phone has disrupted Devan's activities there, which he cares about now is his life and also Aunt Sari who is in danger.
"Hallo! Where the hell are you, why not go home too?! Help us.." - Silvia said after her phone was lifted.
"Hallooo..." Silvia frowned in astonishment as there was no sound there. Until soon it was clear the voice of the woman he had known all along.
["Well, did you call my girlfriend, hmm? Do you miss him?"] his dreams with cynicism. Silvia was a little surprised because the one who picked up her phone was Cathrine.
"Cathrine! Where's Devan?" ask Silvia without making small talk first
["She, um she's sleeping in my apartment bed... Why ask him?"] again Cathrine's words made Silvia surprised. His mouth slightly opened with a dumbfounded look at it.
"What?! Sleep in your bed?"
["He'em.."] Cathrine nodded with a smile as if she was now facing Silvia.
"Is he really sleeping? If he's really sleeping, please wake him up. It's important to me!" silvia's orders urged him.
"Heh, who do you dare to rule me on, huh?! He was sleeping, and just fell asleep. I don't want to bother him. When we got home from work, we spent a wonderful time together. If you don't believe me, I'll send you a picture of him as proof for you!" he said with a sly grin.
Silvia widened her eyes again. "What did you say?" his screeches.
Cathrine immediately photographed Devan on her bed with Devan's wide chest half-open. Three buttons in front of his shirt Devan, Cathrine accidentally opens it, so Silvia knows if Devan is hers.
After the photo was sent. Cathrine hung up on Silvia without saying goodbye. Silvia was again flabbergasted, seeing a picture of her husband falling asleep in her bed Cathrine.
"Geez, have they done anything forbidden?" he leaned his back against the wall. Silvia lowered her head to cover her speechless mouth again. His eyes glazed over, a sense of disappointment in the heart for once admiring and loving Devan. Silvia thought Devan was not such a man, after seeing his two religious parents.
While the sound of the pounding gets louder and louder. Silvia surged in shock from the reverie. Silvia also tried to dare to tell him.
"Who are you?! What are you gonna do to bother us?!" he shouted, and walked closer to the back door leaf.
"Hahaha, come out if you want to survive, leave all your valuables to me!" answer the voice of the man with a heavy and rough voice there. "Or don't I break the door down!" threaten her again
Silvia turned her head quickly to Aunt Sari who looked increasingly frightened at the corner of the door. "How is this Non?" aunty Sari asked grew anxious, looking once from her trembling fat body.
Silvia lowered her head, staring at the phone in her right hand. Then turned to Aunt Sari again and nodded firmly, coding her ART to open her door, that she was ready to face the person.
Aunt Sari shook her head slowly, a sign that she was not ready. But Silvia resolutely asked him again to open it.
Aunt Sari slowly opened it and saw a tall, big, long-haired man carrying celurit in his right hand. Her red eyes blocked Silvia and Aunt Sari alternately. Then he laughed loudly.
"Hahaha... You finally obey me. Now, take out your valuables and leave everything to me!" doors again.
Seriate....
