"Egh ...," Wito groaned in pain, his kick landing on his stomach.
Wito sat down with two outstretched hands, held by two of Pak Karto's men. The man who was more than half a century old was staring mutely at the battered Wito.
"My patience is over! When are you going to waste my time!" Karto Bentak.
Wito tried to raise his face, looking at Karto with his eyes poignant because of the blood coming from the wound on the temples of his eyes.
"A-Amp-pun Ju-juragan, be-give me time," Wito pleaded with Karto stammering with a sore mouth.
"Chuck!"
"Time? How long will heh?! Remember Wito, your debt is mounting. I could've wiped out your spare change." Karto stomped on Wito's thigh after spitting on the battered man's face.
Karto who was already interested in Arumi when he saw the girl was so furious, he wanted to immediately enjoy Arumi's beautiful body. If he can eliminate Wito's life that is nothing to Karto.
Wito swallowed the saliva that had been mixed with blood, it tasted salty. The body that was already sick, trembled at the threat of Karto.
"Sunday! No more, if not you know for yourself the consequences," threatened Karto with great emphasis.
Karto codes for his men to release Wito and leave the battered man, covered in blood.
"Agh ... ! Just look what I do if I find you, Arum." Wito spat to the side, the salivary fluid was already mixed with blood.
Wito tried to get up, with his hands resting on the ground. He tries to be balanced, before he starts to step. He doesn't want to die silly, as soon as he has to find Arumi. But where the girl was hiding, Wito had even gone to school but he found no trace of the girl.
Wito's phone screamed loudly, the man who had just finished washing his body looked lazily at the flat object lying on the table. Nurma's name, the wife clearly plastered there, it feels reluctant to pick up the running ATM phone.
"Hello Nur, what's wrong?" Wito asked in a tinge.
".... "
"I don't know! I'm taking care of that bratty kid, until now he hasn't come home!"
"......"
"Who else if not Arumi! You're doing a quiet job, let me take care of everything here!"
Wito immediately threw his phone to the bed, the man pulled his hair in frustration. Not yet finished Karto's problem, now Nurma broadcasts about Marni who entered the hospital.
"Damn! The basis of the villagers, the sick are made status. Nurma so nagged me, jancok tenan, ' growled Wito mennyungar coarse hair.

The night began to crawl up, a still thick cloud scroll enveloping the sky. The air feels stuffy and hot, but in the nursery Marni feels cool because of the air conditioning installed there.
Marni has had surgery, now that she's lying down for a break. Arumi seemed not tired of looking after the Grandmother, he prepared all Marni's needs. Bayu was asleep, maybe he was tired after a pretty hard day.
As for Arumi, the night is a scourge that is so scary. Every night the same dream haunts Arumi, the night her honor is forcibly taken away, how she is tormented before being forced to satisfy the desires of the savage man she calls father.
Arumi's hands clenched firmly, her jaw hardened with eyes full of anger and hate, glaring sharply out the window.
A gentle pat on his shoulder ripped Arumi from the dark memories of that night. Arumi turned her head, a handsome face with a sweet smile that was edifying looking towards her.
"Not sleepy Brother," said Arumi.
Arumi's eyes followed where Max was moving, the man walked away putting something in a white crackle with the logo of a restaurant. He took out two boxes from inside, then walked back towards Arumi.
"Have you eaten yet? I brought you fried kwetiau," said Max while sitting next to Arumi, putting down a
"Udah Kak." Max just smiled, he opened his box, as soon as the sweet savory aroma came out tickling Arumi's sense of smell.
Max looks at Arumi who continues to see the food he is stirring with bamboo chopsticks.
"Now eat." Max put another box of Kwetiau that he brought in Arumi's lap.
With a stiff smile Arumi opened the box, actually Arumi had not eaten. This afternoon Bayu did buy two packs of Padang rice, Arumi told Bayu to spend all, he could not bear to see Bayu who was still not full after spending his own.
Arumi smiled, hesitantly taking the plastic-opening chopsticks that wrapped the long object from the bamboo. Arumi confused put chopsticks between his fingers, somehow Arumi can not use the object, but it looks very easy.
Max smiled slightly at Arumi who was troubled using chopsticks, the woman could not even put the wide, pliable piece of noodles into her mouth. The rice flour-based food, always escaped from the chopsticks of Arumi.
"Not your mouth," said Max, as he approached his Kwetiau to Arumi's lips.
Arumi turned her head, she looked at Max with eyes that seemed to refuse.
"Open, now!" Max's order that Arumi could not refuse, the girl complied and opened her mouth wide.
Max smiles triumphantly, and begins to feed Arumi alternately to himself. Awkward, that's how the beautiful girl felt, because she had never been this close to any man.
"Nake?"
Arumi just nodded slowly, the girl squeezed the bamboo chopsticks that were in her grasp. Sometimes Arumi justifies his sitting position, looks wrong behavior.
Heh, sounds hypocritical isn't it. Never had a girlfriend but no longer a virgin. It was ridiculous, Arumi smiled wryly. Laughing at himself.
"You know why the Chinese eat chopsticks? Max suddenly asked.
"Why, Brother?" Asked Arumi with a frowning forehead in wonder.
"Because they're squinty, ha ..ha ..ha.no funny huh," joked Max crisp, Arumi gave a small smile while shaking her head.
"I'm sorry, not a stand up comedy talent." Max scratches his head that suddenly became a house lice.
His intention to melt the atmosphere so as not to be awkward, but basic Max who basically can not joke the night makes the atmosphere even stranger. But thankfully, at least Arumi smiled because of him.
"Rum, what's your plan ?"
Max puts down the chopsticks after finishing bribing with Arumi. The burly hand stretched out, taking out two iced teas in a cup. Arumi received the tea from Max's helping hand, looking down at her reflection from the plastic covering the bright brown sweet liquid.
"What is certain is that Arumi will continue to work at Brother's house, if the Madam still allows. School problems, Arumi just wants to stop. Arumi could not depend on mother," replied Arumi, her hand turning the straw clockwise.
"Sister doesn't agree you dropped out of school, you have to continue your school!" Max expressed his opinion.
"But Brother,"-
"Nothing but, the matter of costing you I'll bear it!" Strictly Max shines a sharp spotlight on Arumi.
"I don't want to be a burden on people anymore, Sis, Arumi is very grateful Kak Max and Madam accept Arum work. I have to fight for Bayu and Grandma, I beg you to let me choose my path," he said, staring at the two people he loved most in turn.
