Love, Treasure And Erlita

Chapter 36

After Johan's arrest that night, Farah immediately asked Prasetyo to drive him home to meet Johan. They arrived home at dawn and apparently Bram was already waiting for Farah's arrival in the living room.

As soon as Farah entered, Bram directly dragged and slapped her, “Basic prostitutes don't know themselves!”

Farah fell on the floor. As if not satisfied, Bram again raised his chin until he stood up again and slapped Farah again until his nose was bleeding, “Dasar did not know it was lucky! I let you stay in this family despite knowing that you tricked me into pretending to be a Dewantoro child. But what are you doing?!”

Farah continued to cry to endure the pain of her husband's repeated slaps. “I can explain, Mas?”

“Explain what? Do you think I'm stupid to the point of not knowing that you're beating me up with a dumb guy model Pras?” Bram again kicked Farah's body that had fallen to the floor because of his previous slap.

Farah really can't take it anymore, “Iya. I prefer Pras. You know why? Because despite being stupid, Pras could respect me as a woman and he was never rude to me. And you also need to know mas, that I hate you so much since I first knew that you could never throw Naina out of your life.”

Bram gets angry, he grabs Farah's hair and pushes her to the couch. He then let Farah moan in pain as her stomach hit the waist of the sofa, and went to beat Prasetyo at his house.

If only that night Sania hadn't called him and told him about Farah and Prasetyo's affair, she will never know and will continue to assume that Farah is a kind woman who is quiet and likes to spend her time at home to take care of her and her children.

At least that's the thought that has made Bram maintain his marriage with women who have deceived him since the beginning of marriage.

When first introduced and betrothed, Bram knew Farah as one of the children of the distinguished Dewantoro family. Apart from coming from a good family, Farah was also beautiful, had a higher posture than her and Sania, was also very polite and reserved.

Bram is convinced that with his patience, Farah will be able to make him forget Naina, the woman he loves more and choose to marry Danuarta Susbihardayan, his eldest brother.

But Bram was wrong. After marriage, he finds out that Farah is a foster child who was deliberately picked up and raised by the Dewantoro family to care for and accompany their sickly only daughter and eventually dies.

Bram is angry to learn of Farah's background and the fact that the woman deliberately deceived him in the first place in order to get into the rich and distinguished Susbihardayan family.

Not only that, Farah even called Bagaskara, a former Naina who lives in Jogja to come to Jakarta and meet Naina. Farah then fabricated that Naina seemed to have an affair with Bagaskara so that the girl was divorced and expelled from the Susbihardayan family.

Aware of her plan not working, Farah again throws a tantrum by asking Naina, then a widow after her husband's death two years earlier, to come to the river.

Farah, who was sick at that time because of a broken bone after falling from the stairs, knew very well that Naina could not swim. But he said that Bramantyo was in an accident and was reported missing in the river.

Seeing Farah's health condition that does not allow him to go and hear the news that Bram had an accident makes Naina go straight to the river without thinking long that it is just a technique that Farah deliberately made to set him.

Bram who finally knows the story from Farah immediately chases Naina into the river but it is too late because Naina is rumored to be dragged by the water after saving a small child. From then on he hated Farah and often beat and hurt Farah because of small mistakes between them.

That morning, Bram was determined to vent his frustration to Prasetyo who was lying on his couch. He pulled a rude Prasetyo shirt and beat him to pieces.

***

In the morning Sania and Kenny return to their home and are shocked to see Prasetyo fall covered in blood on the floor. Sania immediately called an ambulance and took her husband to the hospital. Fortunately, his life was still being helped.

Though worried that her husband would die, Sania was relieved to see the man being severely beaten by her younger brother. The striped-nose man indeed deserves a lesson for what he did to Sania and Kenny.

While Kenny was depressed by all the events that befell his family. At that time, he needed a friend to talk to. Kenny then contacted Erlita, where is “Lo, Ta?”

***

About two hours later Kenny's car stopped in front of the house Erlita lived in with Johan and Nafan. Kenny came with a lot of food and four laptops.

“Kak, you want to bring that much laptop?”

“Temenin I mabar!”

They all looked at each other, then replied simultaneously, “Ayo!”

From that day on they no longer want to be dictated and controlled by people who are not even able to control themselves. That day they think about and re-set their life goals forward.

They no longer want to live in the dark shadows of their parents. And that's when they all feel so missed and in need of their super-grandmother, Pratiwi, who's gone.

****

Nafan was happy because Erlita was no longer angry about Nafan not knowing the news about him. That day the atmosphere was so fluid and Nafan was happy to be relaxed and joking with the girl he loved so much.

That day, Erlita appeared very relaxed with a large-sized t-shirt and hotpant pants, without excessive makeup and hairdressing. Very beautiful and natural like a simple girl that Nafan always hoped for. It is no longer Erlita who always looks glamorous and can not live without luxury.

“Fan, it turns out that you are a gaming whiz too huh?” praise Kenny

“Gini is easy, Kak.”

“Emang lo often meet also Fan?” ask Johan.

“So often, he did not go-away from the front of the computer two months full. How dear not lo?” erlita recalls seeing Nafan working on a project to get the money Erlita asked for.

“Oh, it's no longer a game dear, but work.”

“What work? Where are the rich working people addicted to it?”

“Not an addiction, but it works like that. And because of the deadline too.”

“Alesan aja lo. If you can be in front of the computer for so long, why don't you take the time to learn about me?” Erlita began to explain her annoyance, “ Ahh, I know, is it because of that girl? Si Sisil.”

“Sil? Why Sisil?”

“Udah deh, do not need to pretend bego. I know that girl until nyamperin lo far to Banyuwangi, right? Surely you guys want to finish your CLBK right?”

“What are you talking about, Ta? Sisil always stopped by the house twice because he happened to have a job there.it was just an ordinary conversation. Nothing is.”

“Tuh right?! Bener my hunch. Tu chicks are deliberately there for nyamperin elo, make ngedapetin lo again.” Erlita started crying.

“But, Ta, we're not that rich. Do you know where Sisil came from to the house?”

Erlita cried more and more and then entered her room because she was lazy to hear Nafan's explanation that was increasingly painful for her.

Johan tries to hold Nafan who intends to follow Erlita to the room.

“The girl told the meatball brother in the elephant gang if he wanted to go to Banyuwangi to pursue his first love.” Johan explained the situation Nafan was facing

“But that does not mean I am the person Sisil.” is referring to

“But the fact you know him well and he came to your house, twice. Though he knows that you are home alone again.”

“But nothing, Jo. He just stopped by and we had a regular chat.”

“Lo is not very sensitive to be a guy, Fan.”

“You guys really know what again, anyway?” ask Kenny suddenly.

Both of them immediately bowed listlessly.
