Our conversation stopped when suddenly the sound of a child screaming from the terrace of the house. It's the voice of Lyra and Anisa. We immediately rushed out of the house to check what had happened there. My eyes widened when I found Lyra being pulled by a woman to the yard of Darren's sister's house, while Anisa tried hard to hold her back.
"Astaghfirullahaldzim! Oi! Who are you!" yell brother Darren.
Instead of being afraid, the woman wearing a jacket with a black head covering actually carried Lyra's body and took her running out of the yard. Despite his condition is not healthy, brother Darren does not want to stay silent. He ran after the kidnapper on the side of the road. Without wasting any time, I caught up with Darren's brother chasing after the kidnapper. I don't know how far I've run, I feel out of breath. The kidnapper kept running while holding Lyra. He did not care at all about the cry of Lyra who continued to rebel and did not stop beating her back.
From the side of the road, the kidnapper turned into a narrow alley. This is my chance to ask for help.
"Please! The kidnapper!" my loud screams invite the attention of the surrounding people. They're also running after my daughter's kidnapper. Either because they lack control of the area here, or indeed today is unlucky day. The kidnapper was deadlocked.
"Woi! Let go of the boy!" shouted Darren's brother with a gasp of breath.
I started to see who the kidnapper was. Despite wearing a head covering and mask, I still recognized the look in his eyes. Yes, the owner of the hateful eye spot is none other than Gibran's ex-lover, Luna.
"Luna! I know it's you. Why are you still interrupting our lives?" my spoken.
"You forced me to do this. You think I didn't know that you and Gibran were getting married? You should remember my message. As long as you are still in a relationship, I will never let your life settle down!"
"Astaghfirullahaldzim says. When will you realize that love cannot be forced. Gibran is your past, let him live a quiet life with his future without you bothering him."
Luna grinned wryly.
"Just boy. Until whenever I wouldn't be willing if he fell into another woman's arms."
"Have you not betrayed him yourself? Why must you reappear to force him to accept you again. You are beautiful and young, there are many men out there who may be better than Gibran. Please, let us live quietly" I said.
"No! I will not let that marriage happen! Now that you choose, cancel the wedding or your beloved daughter will be doomed!"
My eyes were rounded as Luna suddenly pulled out a folding knife from her pants pocket and pointed it at Lyra's neck.
"Mother! Help Lyla!" pekik. His face was filled with fear.
"Shut up! You have no right to interfere in our affairs!"
"Of course I have the right to interfere. Zura this is my sister. I won't let anyone hurt her."
Looks like Lyra is starting to notice Luna's negligence. Suddenly he bit one of Luna's hands so strongly. Suddenly it makes Lyra detached from her sling. He pushed Luna's body and ran towards me.
"Mother!" his screeches.
"Are you okay, honey?" I asked while examining some parts of my little princess' body.
"Lyla's fine, ma'am."
I then put that little body into my arms. This time I confirmed the remark if we will never know what will happen to us in the next minute. Suddenly I felt something very painful just hit my back. I faintly heard that sentence coming out of Luna's mouth.
"If Gibran can't have it, you can never have it!"
I feel a tremendous pain in my back. Like there's a sharp object stuck in there.
"La-ilaha-illallah .. Mu-ham-madarrosulu-llah," the shahadah was spelled out from my lips before it was dark.
