Mystery of Small Shoes

Rudi laughed mockingly at Sinta who hoped that they could get back together

"What did you say? Starting a new page? Did I not hear wrong? You seem to like to joke now. What do you mean? Fabric sheets?" Rudi laughed again.

"I'm not kidding! I seriously. I want us to go back to how we used to be. Like when we were together. I love you so much. Only I can understand you and only I can have you!"

"You think so? I admit that you are the one who understands me, so understanding that you can easily stab me in the back without me knowing and make me unable to feel the wounds you have made until you also stab me in the front. You know what my wounds were as bad as that? I'm sure you won't know, because your eyes and your conscience are covered with money and power. And now you want us back? You're kidding!" said Rudi flat.

"I beg you, dear. Let's forget our past! I'm sorry. That time the old man had influenced my mind to follow his will!"

"Love, watch your mouth!" peekik Hardi who had just been silent.

"Shut up, Old Man!" snapped Sinta.

"Oh yeah? It is easy to be influenced by him. By money and power. Should be a mature minded person and indeed love me, he would not be easily influenced by such a thing! How humiliating. Your quality was clear at the time. The quality of cheap women, who are willing to do anything for money!" Rudi took out his teardrops on Sinta.

"Darling, I'm sorry. I was wrong at the time, but I promise you that I will never be like that again" Sinta said expectantly.

"I'm sorry, I'm not interested in picking up the trash I've thrown away!"

"I beg you, dear. I can't live without you" whined Sinta.

"Then why didn't you die long ago? Why are you still alive today? Don't make cheap jokes in front of me. I'm not interested and sick of hearing your babble!"

"Come on, Honey. I want you and I need you," Sinta said.

"Really's? You need me? What do you need from me? The money? Is the money I gave you yesterday still lacking? 2 Billion is not enough? How much more?" said Rudi with a high voice.

Sinta seemed surprised to hear Rudi's words, but she tried to cover up her shock and pretended not to understand.

"What do you mean, honey? I don't understand."

"Have it, don't pretend to ****. You two conspired to get money from me by kidnapping my wife, right?" said Rudi ketus.

"No, Honey. That's a heinous accusation. I can't do something like that!"

"Not pretend. The police have identified the person in the CCTV footage, and that's you two!"

"No, Honey. Not likely. I don't do that!"

"If not you then who? You see, there's one other woman who looks like you, but she's kind of fat. Maybe your husband has another woman? We both know how he used to behave. All female employees want to be tasted, especially the young and beautiful," said Rudi provoked emotions Sinta and Hardi.

Apparently, Rudi's strategy gives results. Sinta stared intently at Hardi who had been silent since.

"Well, you're looking at me like that? Do you believe this stupid man? He wants to try to complain to us, Sinta!" hardi told Sinta.

"So if you dare to mess around, Old Bandot!" said Sinta while glaring at Hardi.

"If you don't believe it, you can see the CCTV footage later. My wife said that too. That the one who kidnapped him there were 3 people. But the other woman only comes once when the other woman is not there. Well, who's that woman?" said Rudi continues to heat up Sinta.

"Damn you, Old Bandot! Don't know yourself! It's useless to still want to find another woman!"said Sinta, then he attacked Hardi with his punch in a row.

Hardi tries to evade and explains to Sinta that what Rudi said was a lie. But Sinta has been blinded by jealousy that is getting crazier because Rudi continues to heat up. Finally Hardi was overwhelmed to face Sinta and decided to leave. He picks up a bag of money that Rudi gave him while rescuing Sarah from a wooden closet.

"Hey, give me the bag back!" shout Sinta.

Hardi continued walking towards their car parked outside the house. Sinta chased after him and tried to snatch the bag from Hardi's hand. Unbeknownst to Sinta and Hardi, Rudi contacted the police and reported the ongoing incident before him.

While waiting for the police to come, Rudi watched the quarrel and struggle of the two people in front of him who were fighting over a bag without intending to pass it at all. Rudi stood up while folding his hands enjoying the scene after scene of the violence that was before him.

Hardi's cheeks and hands were full of Sinta's scratches and punches. While Sinta was not beaten. Fresh blood came out from between her lips because of the raw bogem her husband gave her. Sinta started crying and asked Hardi to take off the bag she was holding. Sinta manages to retrieve the car keys from inside her car and throws them in any place.

"Based on stupid women! You've removed the vehicle keys for both of us to get away from this godforsaken place!" hardi. He pushed Sinta down and tried to escape. But deftly Sinta grabbed one of Hardi's legs and held it, so Hardi difficult to move. Sinta held tight to Hardi's feet.

Rudi who saw the incident became amused, but he tried to refrain from laughing for fear of messing up his plan that had gone smoothly so far.

The pull of the leg was exciting because Sinta was holding tightly to Hardi's feet which eventually made Hardi give up and fall down. Slowly Sinta began to loosen her grip. Their breaths were breathless and sweat was rushing down their faces and necks.

By the time the police arrived they were both helpless to escape. The police arrested them without a fight and took them to the police station.

"Sir Rudi went to the police station first to make a report, huh? There are some other questions that may be asked to Mr. Rudi later," said one of the police who had arrested Sinta and Hardi.

"Good, Sir. I'll follow your car from behind. My car was parked over there earlier," Rudi said as he pointed to a parked car across the street.

Rudi hopes the ransom in the bag is still intact or at least only spent a little. But unfortunately, Rudi could not immediately bring the money because it will be used as evidence first by the police. Rudi accepted that fact, the important thing is that the money can return even though the amount is no longer intact.
