“The name is Santi Lofiani. You know him?” ask Munding with a sad face.
Nia looked startled and her body trembled when she heard Santi's name called. Not only did he know her, it was his older brother. The only family he has in this world. Nia is happy with her choice to live with Yasin, her lover. But, if Nia could say honestly, the only regret she had was the guilt for her own biological sister, Santi.
Munding certainly knows the relationship between Nia and Santi. Didn't Santilah give information about Perlente and their plans to Ambar. The information that led all to the final fight at Joseph's house.
Of course, the one who was the most sad and felt the impact of the current chain of events was Santi. He was so disappointed and sad when he realized that his younger brother had chosen to become a follower of the Master and even become his lover. A reality that throws Santi's beautiful dream to the bottom of a desolate rocky abyss.
Santi could never get back up from that downturn. His biological grandfather, the only person with whom he had a blood relationship. The only person he could call family, chose to take the road opposite to the one Santi chose as the real law enforcement.
Munding hasn't heard from Santi since. The shadow of his homeroom class, though only a temporary disguise, seemed to disappear into the earth. And one of the reasons why Munding suggested avoiding violence in Nia's arrest was because she didn't want her homeroom siblings to suffer injuries or even lose their lives fighting back.
Nia may have been educated by militant methods by Yasin, her instincts may have been very sharp. But his instincts would not be as sharp as Munding when captured by Satgultor and had already passed the initiation stage. Munding knew that Nia might not even realize that she had been surrounded this morning. Maybe Nia will only feel uneasy and uneasy from morning without knowing what the cause is.
Unknowingly, Munding's question made two tears flow on Nia's cheeks. “Mbak Santi,” muttered Nia slowly while wiping tears from her cheek.
“Bu. I came because I wanted to help you. So nothing happens. I hope, I can work together as well as possible and not fight back. There is someone out there who is always waiting for the return of Mother,” persuaded Munding.
Nia looks worried. On one hand, he has Yasin and on the other side is his older brother, Santi. Mia, Rony, and Afza looked at everything closely. Moreover, Afza, he did not think at all that the Munding could act like just now. Lost was the shadow of the wolf fighter who had slaughtered his enemy many times with a ferocious from the head of Afza.
After a few minutes, Nia then took a deep breath and looked at Munding, “I am willing to come with you,” he said slowly.
Munding did not answer Nia's words, he just kept looking at Nia's face with a flat expression. It was as if Nia had said nothing at all.
The other three Munding colleagues looked relaxed and released their alert condition which made them tense since then. As it turns out, the proposal of Munding goes smoothly, the target can be brought without violence, such as the head of Mia, Rony, and Afza.
“Then, Munding let Nia sit in the back and we flank,” Afza said in a tone full of relief.
Munding fell silent and did not answer Afza's words. Afza felt a little strange with Munding's reaction, “Munding!!” afza shouted as he stepped forward to approach Munding.
Munding remained silent unmoved and the longer, his eyes grew sharper towards Nia, “You sure?” ask Munding quietly and deeply.
Munding no longer uses polite calls ‘Ibu’ but changes to ‘kamu’. A confused look on the face of the three Munding colleagues.
“Munding, you should know, we are the same, we will always fight until the last blood. Never be discouraged, never give up, always move forward bravely, follow your instincts!” nia said while looking at Munding, “isn't that the teaching of our flock? Isn't that also what Izrail taught you?”
Mia, Rony, and Afza fell silent. They did not expect that Nia's words were just a mockery. And innocently, the three of them believed that Nia would come with them without a fight.
The three of them then quickly took a standby position with a reddened face from feeling embarrassed by their innocence. They were not beginners in fieldwork, but in the face of the fighting wolves, their experience was still very minimal. Especially in an era without conflict like now. The existence of a pure militant fighting wolf like Munding or a half-militant like Nia, was just a myth to them.
"You don't stand a chance. We don't want to hurt you either" Munding said.
"You've hurt us!! Have you forgotten what you did to my girlfriend?" nia said towards Munding with a cynical tone.
The three Munding colleagues fell silent and listened carefully while remaining fully alert. They already hold the identities of some Chaos members, let alone those already identified as Nia and Yasin. They also know that Munding has met and been involved in a fight with this pair, but the details are seen covered up by the police.
"We fight. And in every fight someone loses and wins. That's commonplace. We all have principles too. You should know that" replied Munding.
"But, you've become the seed of vengeance in my beloved's body!" rebut Nia quickly.
"Right now, he should be here with me. But because of her grudge against you, she chose to stick with Chaos," the woman continued in a soft voice, "to seek revenge on you."
Deg.
Munding was a little surprised. Is Yasin currently attacking his home in Sukorejo? The horrifying shadow he saw as it gained insight back then flashed through Munding's head.
Just wait!!
Shouldn't Nia have attacked her family in Sukorejo with Chaos' team?
Wouldn't they attack the Munding family after the child was born? Now, Nurul's pregnancy is only a few months old.
Will my son die before he even sees the world?
Has my decision to join the Red and White team changed the future to what it is today?
Wouldn't it be, whatever decision I made, that I would eventually lose my family? Lost my wife and my future son?
Does man have a chance to change his destiny?
