The atmosphere of the streets are quite crowded accompany the journey of Karina. The roar of the vehicle engine was quite disturbing to Karina's hearing. In fact, he missed this noise. Immediately activate the soundproof mode. Mr. Anton smiled faintly at the behavior of the young lady.
"Why do I want to race?" karina's murmured closed her eyes. Karina longs for the night atmosphere with the roar of a seductive car engine and the light of the lights.
Not to mention the screaming voice and the sexy girl as the referee. One more, frustrated cries of defeat from his opponents. Cheers were delighted as he came out victorious. Karina wants to return to being a dark horse in the race. Since marriage, he has never done his hobbies and habits.
"Don't be Non, you don't race first, danger. Remember the life of Non's heir," Mr. Anton warned. Karina smiled thinly.
"I know."
"Ah yes, find out who is on the rise in the racing world of this city, all this country," said Karina who made Mr. Anton grunt a smile. He is sure, soon Karina will go down to the racing world, just wait for time, take back her title as Queen Racing.
Karina then surfed ria on her advanced device. Mr. Anton who was driving at moderate speed is now stopping the car near a small alley, the car does not arrive there, too narrow especially the streets are flooded with water aka muddy.
"Non has arrived" said Mr. Anton looking back. Karina lifted her face and looked around.
"Hm." Anton immediately went down and opened the door for Karina. Karina came out complete with a wide hat and her glasses.
"Karina," call someone from behind Karina. Karina turned her head, Gerry smiled not forgetting to bow in salute to Karina. Karina just stared flatly at that thing.
"Why did you tell me to come here? What's the most important thing to do in this place?"ask Gerry curiously.
Karina did not answer and walked into the small alley. Gerry. There is a face of uneasiness and fear of getting dirty from him. As much as possible he avoids the muddy streets. Especially the suits he uses all brand items. Karina glanced cynically at Gerry. Several people who passed by or were in front of their homes each stared at Gerry in surprise. Karina is ordinary.
"Don't remember you from your past? Isn't this part of your story?"karina Cibir. Gerry did not respond and chose to clean his dirty shoes with the tissue he always carried.
"Bas based on the nuts forgetting the skin," Karina sneered again. Gerry glanced without answering. They are now in front of a whitewashed house that has been peeling, dusty glass and sawang that meets the terrace ceiling. Karina wears her mask.
"Whose house is this? It's so dirty, is it inhabited? Ck look at the dust like it's been eropsied. Really not taken care of!"gerrutu Gerry commented on the condition of this house, wearing a mask.
"The residence of my sister-in-law. It's beautiful isn't it?"sahut Karina relax. Gerry millingeryit, before long he looked wide-eyed.
"Enji, his future wife from this residence? Not wrong? Appetite surprised. What kind of woman lives here? So dirty," Gerry told me. Yep, what they came to was the residence of Jesica.
"There's a reason." After saying that, Karina told Gerry to knock on the door of the house. Gerry hesitantly knocked it. Long enough Gerry knocking on a new door got a response. The door opened slowly causing a sound that was ear-wrenching.
Before long, the figure of the man who Gerry estimated to be around 45 years old stood lethargic on the doorstep with an unhappy look at Gerry. Dark circles were clearly visible in his eyes, the man was not taken care of at all. The smell of alcoholic beverages was evident from his body and from inside the house. The luster of dust exposed to light is clearly visible.
"Who are y'all? Just disturb my sleep. If I ask for money, I have no money. Just wait for my daughter to come home," said the man hoarsely. His eyes are red. Gerry looked at Karina with one eyebrow raised. Karina's return to telepathy took place.
"You don't ask for money, we'll give you money" Gerry said. The man's eyes seemed wide open for a moment, before long he yawned. Even his body is now delivered to the door wall.
"You're kidding me, aren't you? During these two years we were ostracized, where maybe someone would give us free money. Nowadays everything is not free, even that wine I have to pay a lot. Yes there we will be expelled, go away I want to go back to sleep," the man chuckled. Gerry clenched his hand. Actually, he himself did not know Karina's plans.
"Who's word is free? There is a price you have to pay. There's money, there's a deal" said Karina flatly. The man's eyes moved to look at Karina in surprise, as if he was guessing the meaning of Karina's words. Gerry, observing the man, looked like a soldier interrogating the prisoner. The posture of this man's body but does not reflect a soldier, for height does meet but others do not.
"Who are you?" The man ended up uttering a flagship glass when he met an unknown person and looked for trouble. Karina smiled.

Now Karina, Gerry and the man are sitting in the living room. Bottles of drinks and dust that stick Gerry cleaned first, not to forget he also spray fragrance. The man looked unhappy, these few years alcohol and dust had been a part of him. A cup of tea is also on the table for Karina, Gerry is the one who makes because Karina will definitely drink something while visiting.
"So this is the daily life of a division soldier? It's so low." Karina sneered with a face of disbelief. The man glimpsed, his face looking red with tightly clenched hands. He looked at Karina with a murderous look.
Karina was indifferent and instead drank her warm tea. Gerry was quite surprised, he did not think that his thoughts were right, but what happened until a famous tiger division warrior became like this?
"How dare you touch that? Tired of living, huh?"the man said emotion. Gerry spruced up the body.
"You are tired of living!"gerry looked back at the man. A man named Rudi, Jesica's father.
"Just because your simple life's problems are messy. It's so scary." Karina just said, but the effect is huge. Rudi's prominent neck veins expressed high-roaring emotions.
"It's lucky your son would take care of you. Someone still bought you a drink, but you didn't turn into. Now there's only one option for you. Money and change" Karina said. Gerry restrains Rudi who is about to attack Karina. Rudi was deeply offended by all Karina's remarks, bringing up her past just as much as bringing up old wounds.
"What do you offer?"ask Rudi slowly. Karina smiled and took out a paper from her bag. Rudi read the paper.
The contents of the paper are, Karina offers a sum of money to Rudi so that Rudi gives blessing to Enji and Jesica relationship and after that, Rudi must leave the life of Jesica so as not to cause trouble. The second option is, a change. Rudi had to change and rise from his downfall. Rebuilding his family and his future. Being a good father and husband for the family. Rudi will stay with Jesica.
Rudi seemed to frown with the contents of the letter. Both were pretty hard choices for him. Leaving family or alcohol. Before long, Rudi laughed while rubbing his rough.
"My life has been ruined Miss, how can it be repaired? My name has been tarnished, the family has been ostracized. How can I enter the army again, what is the purpose of my life?"tanyanya raucous, followed by sobs her tears. Rudi cried making Gerry look confused.
"If you choose a change, I will help you" Karina replied.
"How?"ask Rudi.
"My man" answered Karina.
Rudi wiped her tears and looked at Karina fixedly. Gerry was eager to poke Rudi in the eye. But, he knew Rudi was making a decision.
"I choose change," replied Rudi steadily. Compared to anything, Rudi realized the family was the main one. The confusion during this time is what worsens his condition. Rudi was determined to fix everything. Remember the struggle of Jesica and his wife. Jessica works part-time and his wife works at a bar as a janitor while he is drunk.
"The terms are simple, first you have to be able to defeat him, second sign a stamped agreement and third is the real practice. You have to change from now side, how? Able?"karina is challenging. Rudi turned his gaze to Gerry. Now Gerry understands why he was sent here, as a test kit. Karina is still Karina, not going to change just because of one difference.
"Good!"rudi replied. Eventually the two men attacked each other. Rudi used his martial skills that he gained while he was in the army. Gerry uses only half his abilities. It is heartless to beat a man who is not in good health. Karina stared at that with a flat face.
"Stop!"firmly Karina, making Gerry who was hot and now almost punched Rudi's face stopped. Rudi closed his eyes, his body was all stiff. How many years he hasn't been training.
"disappointingly. Wait another month, there will be a second test!"said coldly Karina. Rudi's body shuddered as Karina threw a sharp glare at him.
Rudi opened his eyes and looked at Gerry with a big smile.
"Young people are different. You are a capable fighter" said Rudi praising Gerry wholeheartedly. Gerry smiled thinly.
Sure, if not how could I be his right hand?inner Gerry.
"Take it, make it look and house, see you in a month."
Karina placed the yellow envelope on the table then stood up and walked away from Rudi's house.
"Old Man, I admit you're strong, but we'll definitely see you in a month. Bye," said Gerry following Karina.
Rudi gasped and looked at the envelope on the table, if his mind was not open maybe he would immediately binge drink. But now, it's just the past. Rudi is determined to change, for the future of his family.
"I'm sorry," she wrote.
In the car, Gerry is still curious about Rudi's background, Karina has no intention of answering verbally instead of sending files to Gerry's phone. Afterwards, on Karina's orders, Mr. Anton runs the car leaving Gerry still reading.
Rudi, was once a member of the tiger division that was famous for its power. They are intended to maintain the safety of the country as a vanguard, their task is all areas of land, sea and coast. Unfortunately, to get into this division must meet several conditions for those who are married including Rudi has its own rules.
Each member is only allowed to have two children and one of them must be a boy to go down to his father's answer. If both are girls, then he will be expelled from the tiger division.
Initially the family had only one daughter, the obsession to have a boy with a possible 50:50 makes them lose everything.
Being kicked out of the tiger division frustrated Rudi and became a drunk. His faults were with his wife and his second child. Angry, his warm attitude became grumpy and rude.
Even when the second child was gone, Rudi was even relieved, he felt the burden was reduced. The culmination of the family's breakdown was when Rudi forced his wife into sex work at a bar whose money was used to buy drinks and pay her debts.
He lost his mind when he lost his dream job. All the professions that he went through after leaving the army always ended in dismissal.
The wife did not dare to fight because the bet was her eldest daughter. At the expense of his pride, he must survive for the sake of Jesica. He eventually dropped after being tested positive for HIV. The initially sympathetic neighbors turned anarchist.
Now Jesica's mother's struggle is against the virus that has ravaged her body.
Gerry let out a rough sigh, quite concerned about the story of the Jesica family.
But the problem must be faced, not avoided. Obsession must be watched out, inner Gerry immediately stepped away to where his car parked and drove away.
