The night grew dark, only the sound of the night beast frenzied in the silence. Among the dense weeds, the sound of crickets that screech also adds to the martyrdom. Especially when the owl seemed to laugh with his frightening voice, making the body of anyone who heard will shudder full of anxiety.
That night, the breath they breathed felt so heavy. Something feels stuck and suffocating in every pull they make. Yes, Charles and Atmaja were both stunned to see the bitterness that was clenched in the heart, like walking on sharp nails or thorns and piercing scratches deep wounds.
This is the end of a word called vengeance. The tormentors are clinging to the chambers of the heart, carrying everything they have only to serve the inner outlet of anger.
“Give up, or we will not hesitate to shoot you," exclaimed one of the policemen to Charles and Atmaja, pointing his gun.
Now, Charles and Atmaja are right in the middle of a herd of cops who are pinning them down with guns. If counted, more than ten people had now surrounded them with full weapons. Moreover, Charles was included in the People's Search List (DPO) after his escape during the trial related to the Nina case and human trafficking that he did while still a member of Daniel's team, charles was a highly sought target for the police.
"Let down your weapons, or we will not hesitate to pull our weapons towards you" said another policeman, this time in a very hostile tone.
Seeing their unlikely position to escape again, neither Charles nor Atmaja tried to put up a fight. They even said that when the police asked them to lower their weapons, raise their hands above their heads, and finally handcuffed their hands and took them to the nearest police station.
Ryan, Arya, and Rudi and Johan who watched Charles and Atmaja walk and ride the police car from a distance were relieved and could smile with satisfaction, finally their enemies who lately really troublesome they were caught.
Unfortunately, all who have passed cannot return. Yes, the son of Arya and Lena, who had not even taken care of him, and the vision of Daniel, who had just disappeared, could not return even though Charles and Atmaja would be responsible for his actions. But crime is still a crime. In any case, every mistake must be atonement.

After confirming Daniel's condition to the doctor who handled it, Hengky stepped out of the Dewangga family and headed to the ICU room where Meysie was treated. As soon as he entered, he saw that his mother had fallen asleep beside the patient's bed. She looked at the middle-aged woman who had given birth and raised her with all that love and affection so tenderly. How not? A family that used to be very happy, is now falling apart just because of a love story.
Can't bear it, Hengky approached his mother. He kissed his forehead fondly, removing the suit attached to his body to warm his mother's body. Getting that treatment, Madam Atmaja actually woke up from her sleep.
"Hengky, why are you here, son? Is the meeting over?" cecar Madam Atmaja was so aware that currently Hengky was with him. Now, Madam Atmaja looked at her son with a full gaze of inquiry.
"Yes, Ma. The meeting failed," replied Hengky raucous.
"Fuck?" Madam Atmaja frowned.
"Daniel accident, after ...," Hengky did not continue his remarks. He tried to set the words of what was most appropriate, to tell him that everything that happened to Daniel was the work of his father.
"After what, son? Talk tang clearly! Don't make your mama die of curiosity!" ask Madam Atmaja curious.
"Eh, that, Ma. Anu. How did Hengky say it? Look, Ma ...," Hengky became misbehaved to get the full view of his mother's demands.
"What's? Say it!" madam Atmaja was impatient.
Mrs Atmaja did not comment on hearing her son's words. Just the crystal clear grains alone continued to melt, implying how sad and so hurt his heart was.
"Then what about your papa, son?" ask Madam Atmaja worriedly.
"Mom don't worry Papa. Hengky had made a plea to the Dewangga family, so that they did not deploy their men to destroy Papa, but let Papa be arrested by the authorities only. So once Papa is caught and finished serving his sentence, Papa can immediately return to our midst" said Hengky lirih.
"Pity of your father, son," protested Mrs Atmaja hearing her son's statement.
"After all the evil that Papa committed, Ryan and his men will never let go of Papa, Ma. It'll be more dangerous if they catch Papa. Because they won't be reluctant to hurt him. Unlike if the authorities who arrested him, Papa will only serve his sentence, after that we can gather again as usual," explained Hengky again, while stroking his mother's shoulders full of warmth.
"Why did all this have to happen to us, son?" madam Atmaja's tears are spilling.
Hengky who saw how her mother's heart was broken, immediately pulled her and hugged her tightly. Unknowingly, clear circles dripped from the end of his eyes, until the sound of sobbing both were earthy, mixed with the sound of a heart detector knock attached and connected to Meysie's body, until the atmosphere in the ICU room was getting gripping.
While from the direction of the patient's bed, Meysie who had not yet regained consciousness from her long sleep also shed tears. Did Meysie hear everything?

Word by word that came out of Nina's mouth through the other end of the phone, as if transformed into a twang lara that slices the soul of a father who has never even been able to caress and get a confession of love from the son he once left behind.
Yep. The news of Daniel's blindness is a sad news that stifles the chest. His anxious face continued to envelop Arsen's face, adding to the gray days that continued to blend in the ever roaring heart.
Arsen closed his eyes, hoping that when he opened his eyes, there was a figure of Daniel who was so missed, and everything that happened so far was just a dream. Yet wrong. The more he clenched his eyes, the dark shadows of their past actually appeared like a slide swirling before him.
"Maybe it's time I redeem everything, son. Not because I want to get your love and your forgiveness, but because I don't want fate to take away your happiness once again" Arsen's inner heart.
The night was getting late, but Arsen's eyes continued to wander. Really, he was impatient to wait for the morning to come, until the big thing he had decided he could do immediately.
