LOVE BEHIND THE VEIL

6. Sofia and David

cold sweat has soaked the body, the fear becomes more, a tight heart beat as if it can be heard by people around. Shock is certain, how not surprised, they saw with their own eyes the most tragic incident that befell his new neighbor's family. Not even 1 day they moved to a new house they have been presented with unexpected events.

It feels like Sofia wants to run, but where !! he was afraid of being so scared, it felt like to just stand up his legs were very limp. Sofia was still sitting on the bedside hugged by her husband.

" Is this a dream ?". Sofia started to let out her voice trembling.

David who heard it immediately tightened his arms to his wife, intending to give her peace.

"David,.you saw it too right?". asked Sofia again to make sure that what she saw was real.

David just kept quiet, he just kept giving a gentle swipe on Sofia's back. He was also confused as to what he should do. Scared !!! who is not afraid to see a group of men wearing black jackets, hats and faces covered in masks of the same color, moreover, they hold firearms that at times can remove hot lead that can nest in their heads.

" David.., Don't just shut up and do something." Sofia noticed her husband was just silent and hugged her.

David was still shaking, in his head still turning to think about what he should do.

" What if those people know we saw the incident?, How are Shena and her family doing?, why did they kill the Shena family in such a sadistic way ?. What should we do?" he asked her repeatedly to the husband.

But the one asked was silent like a lifeless statue.

" David, don't be quiet." Sofia snapped, getting upset because her husband only spoke a thousand languages.

David who got a clash from his wife, immediately jolted and realized from his daydream.

" It looks like they didn't see us, and those people don't know that we're here" David assured Sofia.

"Are you sure?" he asked again to confirm.

David just nodded his head.

'Sure enough, those people didn't realize there was anyone else there, because when David caught up with his wife in the room, he forgot to turn on all the lights in the house so that their house was dark, still like an empty house without occupants, only the room lights are lit and even the sleeping lights.

So it is very profitable for the criminals to launch the plan, especially the Shena family House where the most end of the housing that beside it there is a lake made by their family, especially the family, while the 2 front houses are still empty without occupants because the owner only occasionally comes to see the house.

The rain was quite heavy, the more supportive the crime took place.

" We better go to the police.?" proposal Sofia.

David saw his wife "Yes, you're right, I'll call the police station for a minute" he replied, taking his cell phone out of his pants pocket.

The moment the phone was connected to the target "Hello, good night, there's something we can ban......." There was a sound from across there, but suddenly the connection was cut off.

" Aahh.sial ". umpat David was upset.

" Why?". asked Sofia curiously.

" My phone is off ". Answer's short.

" Try on my phone ." Sofia takes the phone out of her jacket pocket, and hands the flat object to David. But the result is the same Sofia's phone is also dead.

Aahh really shit, why their phones are both dead in such a precarious state.

They are really confused about what to do, because they are busy from Morning so they forget to charge the phone.

David was still grumbling while pacing like an iron that had not been hot.

Seeing that, Sofia immediately ran towards her bag that was above the nightstand taking a charger and connecting to her phone, while waiting for the power of the phone to be filled they took the initiative to see again the situation that occurred there.

David opened the window curtain slightly, followed by Sofia who was under David while looking down.

How bad the scenery they saw, the bodies of the guards and servants of the Shena family were already lying covered in blood on the marble floor that had changed color.

David tried to see what was going on inside the house, but his gaze was blocked by the dividing wall between the living room and the back porch of the house, faintly seen a middle-aged lung woman, who was a, what David believed was that it was Bu Inggit whose hands were tied behind his back forced to stand by a large man, it seemed like the man was asking something but David could not hear their conversation, because the distance is quite far plus the sound of rain that is quite heavy makes them unable to listen to anything.

David's eyes puffed up to see the man raise his hand that was holding a firearm, then point the gun directly at the woman's head. And.....

" DDOOORRRRR.." The gunshot echoed again, as the woman's body was blown away without anyone holding back against the floor on which she was standing.

Sofia, who also saw the incident, reflexively shouted, it suddenly made the men in black clothes turn to look for the origin of the sound.

If the criminals see them, no matter what they will experience, they may be in the same fate as their neighbors, who have moved to another world.

" You don't scream?" said David in a panic.

" I. I'm so scared of David, that's ..must be Bu Inggit they killed ". Answer in a stammering voice. His body was trembling again.

" Uuuhhhhh.I also think that way, but you don't shout, if they know we're here, they'll also catch and kill us!!!. Do you want?." he said furious and annoyed at the wife.

Sofia immediately shook her head quickly, where she wanted to die silly like that.

Moreover, she remembered that she was pregnant, she wanted to give birth and raise her children until adulthood, he said,

then die in a natural state instead of being killed like that.

" Yes, you just wait here, let me take another look out." David said softly to Sofia.

Sofia immediately pulled her husband's hand.

" No, I want to come.!! I also want to see, I promise I won't be like that anymore" he assured David.

David breathed his breath violently.

then immediately took Sofia walking with him.

A moment they were still staring behind the window to see the situation getting gripping, arriving2 Sofia's eyes seven on the figure of a woman who settles out from behind a mango tree like there is a secret road surrounded by many plants fencing Asoka Java close.

Sofia narrowed her eyes, sharpening her vision to see who the figure was.

And how shocked to see who that woman was.

"David look down, it's.it's Shena" Sofia told David in a slightly whispered tone.

David immediately looked at the direction the wife pointed at, and it was Shena.

The couple looked at each other, the trick of the second they moved a little run to seven doors.

But when he wanted to open the door to the room David stopped his steps and looked towards Sofia. Sofia who saw her husband suddenly stopped suddenly Sanja became confused.

"What's wrong, why did you suddenly stop, let's hurry before the criminals find Shen" she said, looking at her silent husband.

" You better wait here, let me help her" he told Sofia.

"No, I don't want to stay here alone, I want to help her too." Sofia refused.

David saw and held both of his wife's shoulders. "Listen to me, this is very dangerous. I don't want to harm you and our future son. Please understand." he said again in a gentle tone as possible while stroking his wife's flat stomach.

Sofia who listened to her husband's plea just nodded, she knew now was not the right time for them to argue, what else was this for her and also their future child. Sofia did not bole ignore the safety of her future son.

David took his hand off Sofia's shoulder, and immediately opened the door running down the back seven doors of his house.
