23. Further if you have to turn around.

When the time has shown at nine o'clock at night, Cinta just arrived at her home after work. The wounds that brought Love home also. Love has not changed his clothes, he still faithfully sits by the window of his room looking towards the sky which looks dark once tonight. There are no stars that are usually scattered there. Love doesn't sound at all, but her mind is very noisy at the moment. Until suddenly Tyra opened the door of his room tightly.

"Again, you make the wretched! After Dad, sister Cala, and now Mom?! I swear, I didn't think the same. How can you make the same mistake? You can sit here quietly while Mom is in danger. I will not be able to see you, if until Mother why-why!," said Tyra with her snapping tone.

"Sorry, sister, I didn't know that Mom would be in danger like this. I just want to find out the answer we've been looking for" replied Love with a head down in fear.

"Lo Doang wanted to find that answer, not me. Therefore, if you want to do something it first thought, Love! If you believe this, you endanger others. Anyway, why are you looking for that? What if you find the answer, they'll all come back? No, Love, no!," replied Tyra who was already furious with Love.

"Sister, I will not be able to make those who have gone back again, but I hope it can fix the misunderstanding between us" said Love.

"What misunderstanding? It's obviously all wrong, why the hell still have to find a defense. You're a troublemaker, no use for it" replied Tyra, who made Love lift her head.

"If you want to know, Dad didn't die because of me. But it was a premeditated murder. I'm trying to find out about all of it, so that we can live without the shadow of the past that continues to follow us, Sis, "Reply Love.

"Love, I'll tell you the same. I don't care if it's premeditated murder or anything. Whatever the reason, they're gone and can't go back. Now, I want you to find Mom to see you. If you also leave because of you, you are really a killer who hides behind sweet words," said Tyra as she sauntered away leaving Love.

"Killer, so all this time I was a killer?" asked Love to himself. He became overthinking because of the talk of Tyra who said that he was a murderer.

When being silent notification from his phone makes Cinta surprised and see what message has just entered. It turned out that message was from Luka in a group chat of the four of them.

Wound

Gega

Really? Then we go there in the morning. I tell Papah now, he can help us.

Zemira

Gega

Zemira

Gega

But it's important.

Wound

Zemira

Okay

Gega

Okay.

Cinta simply reads a message from the group and presses a location that Luka sends in their group. The abandoned warehouse of the former cafe, Cinta becomes increasingly worried about her mother's whereabouts. Being in the barn must be very uncomfortable for Mom. I must be in pain and cold sleeping there. He needs to find his mother right now. Without further ado, Love soon changed clothes. And immediately book a taxi online to take him to the location that Luka gave.

Luka was sitting faithfully in front of her computer screen which displayed a location point. That's the location of Love's phone. He deliberately set the phone Love if something happened he could soon find her. While playing on a mobile phone, suddenly his computer rang loudly and it was seen there that the location point of Love moved from before being at home. This made Luka surprised.

Where will love go these nights? Luka immediately checked their group chat info and saw that Cinta had read their chat which had previously seen that Cinta had not read it.

Luka quickly grabbed her car keys and her jacket to go where Love was going. He also sent a message to Gega to follow him to the location he shared in their chat group. Because Luka was sure, Love would go there. The woman could not bear to wait for tomorrow. As a result he was desperate to go there alone without telling Luka or Gega.

"Hopefully it can be an abomination" muttered Luka as she stepped on her gas at high speed in order to get there just as Love got there before she acted rashly out of worry and harm herself.

Love arrived at a place that corresponds to the location that Luka gave. The place was very dark, dirty, and there was a lot of trash around it. The cafe has been closed for a long time said the taxi driver who drove him. Love stood for a while at the door of the cafe while taking out a flashlight from his jacket pocket. He has to save his mother right now.

"Mother! Mom where's Mom?!!," Love screamed in such a quiet place.

"Mom, it's Ata, Mom! Mother where?," call Love as she walks carefully afraid that there is a trap there.

Love opens some doors there. But suddenly there was the sound of footsteps walking towards him slowly. Love is shocked and feels claustrophobic out of fear.

"You who? Don't come any closer!" said Cinta as she walked backwards. But the man's footsteps kept walking closer towards him. Love's feet were caught by a bench that made her fall backwards. It made him grimace in pain.

"Lo no papa?" asked the person who turned out to be Luka.

"Wounds? Why are you here?" replied Love who looks very confused with the existence of Luka in front of him now.

"Gue who should ask you, why are you here? I said we're here tomorrow morning not tonight" replied Luka who is now looking at the condition of Love's feet.

"I want to see Mom now, Luka. I have to help Mom before she gets hurt" Love said in a weak voice. Luka knew, the woman was very scared and worried right now.

"Gue and the others also want to help Mother Lo, but do not let you endanger yourself, Love. I'm sure, I won't do anything" Luka replied as she looked at the girl in front of her.

"Lo believes in me, right? We can help Mother together, do not do anything rashly because it can endanger yourself. And I, do not want you to get hurt, Love," said Luka with a voice that sounded more subtle.

"I believe in you, Luka," Love.

"Let's get up, we'll find Mom before the culprit finds out that we've found her location" Luka helps Cinta get up from her seat. Luka looked worried with the slightly blue feet of Love and Love that stood up slightly wavering.

"My legs are not papa, Luka. I can still walk on my own, really," said Love assured Luka that his legs are okay.

"Hold my hand, don't be afraid because I'm here" Luka thrusts her hand before Love.

"I will not be afraid because you always take care of me, let's find Mom," Love grabbed Luka's hand and held her tightly. Then the two walked slowly along the cafe. Until a heavy voice sounded from behind them.

"Love, check this room" whispered Luka to Love who made Love nod and quickly opened the room.

"Thank you for the welcome" Luka replied with her flat face. He walked closer to the man without the slightest fear.

"Thank you, too, for making it easier for us to find you. Come with his own, without being asked. It seems you are bored here, so come alone," continued Luka while looking at the eyes of the man sharply.

"Dare child, I just want to return the finished used items I put on to you," Luka immediately raised her fist towards the man when she realized what the man was saying. Her mother Love is not something she can wear as she pleases and it is very impudent according to Luka.

"Oh so, I also came here because you want to taste the feeling of crumbling and broken bones," The wound immediately twisted the man's hand which made a sound from the bone which was shocked by what Luka had done just now.

"AKH!!!," the man's scream made Luka's smile rise slowly. Then he whispered to the man's ear, "Only a coward who dares to the weak. And you, are not my opponent, dear Father."

"A brash kid!!!," the man got up and punched Luka in the face. Luka was not surprised because she had expected that the man would be ignited when he heard her whisper. Luka gave resistance and after that both fisticuffs while Cinta was surprised not to play when she saw her mother with clothes that were slightly torn, hair was messy, and her mother was shocked, and the blue face is also a trace of blood on the wall makes Love hold back her tears strongly so as not to cry right now. Meta fainted after Bram raped her many times that day.

"Mother, sorry Love, Mom. Let's get up, Mom, Love please wake up, Mom." Love tried to resuscitate her mother who had fallen.

"Mother..," Love hugged Meta's body tightly while wiping away her dripping tears. Love did not want to look weak in front of her mother now, so she held back from crying now.

"Mommy must be in pain, right, I'm not comfortable here. Sorry Love for Mom so this, all this is because of Love, sorry Love, Mom." said Love who ceaselessly apologized to Meta.

When Luka was still struggling with the man, another male figure came attacking her making Luka quite difficult against her two. But quickly Luka paralyzed the legs of the man in all-black clothes. So that he only needs to fight men in dark blue clothes whose faces are covered by a mask. This man was so strong that Luka who had exhausted her energy almost lost her balance. But luckily Gega soon came towards him.

"Don't take care of me, quickly take Love and Mom away from here!," Luka said when Gega wanted to help her.

"Lo's lost energy, let me change you. Lo takes Love and Mother away from here, " replied Gega who immediately took over against the masked man so that Luka immediately ran towards Love and his Mother.

"We take Mom now, this is not the time to regret it all. Come on," Luka took Meta's body and put her in the car as well as Love who looked very shocked by what happened.

"Hurt.., Mother's heart rate is weak. I'm afraid we can't get Mom to the doctor in time" Love said in a voice that sounded trembling with fear.

"Don't panic, we'll make it in time" Luka took her car at full speed splitting the road.

In the cafe Gega can already take over, the masked man can no longer move because it is locked by Gega.

"Waduh, your mask is really serem. I almost cry because I'm actually afraid of the same mask. But because I know you are a coward who is no more serem than the mask you wear, I am not so cry," Gega said with a soft voice.

"Don't expect you to escape, I won't let you touch Love one bit. Do you understand?" asked Gega. But the masked man did not answer Gega's question.

"Oh lo again fill the energy, so do not want to answer my question?," said Gega.

In accordance with Gega's guess, the man got up and turned back the circumstances so that Gega locked his movements. Gega rose again and fought back, until the masked man pulled out a knife that directly stabbed him into Gega's stomach making Gega unable to move. Blood instantly soaked the clothes Gega was wearing and his body instantly lay on the floor. The masked man immediately took the man dressed in all black to leave Gega who groaned in pain.

Gega moved quickly to press the watch that Papah gave him. The watch, when pressed, immediately gave a signal at the nearest police station and the location where Gega was located. Gega held his breath withstanding the pain from the knife stab in his stomach.

Chandra who was in the police station was surprised when he heard a loud voice in the office and immediately checked the office computer to see where the location of the owner of this watch. When looking at its location, Chandra immediately sent one team to the location without making small talk. Chandra was also in but used another police car. Locations not too far away made them arrive quickly. They arrive at an abandoned abandoned cafe.

"Quick search! Check all corners of this place!," the order Chandra gave made the other policemen move quickly.

With a flashlight in his hand, Chandra down the inside location of the cafe. His eyes examined every corner carefully. Until he heard the moaning from the end of the cafe making him run fast.

"Gega?!" called Chandra who was surprised to see the state of his son with a knife that stuck his stomach.

"Bah, sick, Pah.

"We go to the hospital before it's too late!. His victim was here!!," Chandra's baritone voice made the other policemen hear and immediately approached him easily.

"Place a police line and investigate this place. I'll take the victim to the hospital! Stay on guard here until I come back here, okay?!," Chandra said firmly.

"Ready, understand, sir!," the other policemen answered quickly.

"Help me get her in the car" Gega was taken to Chandra's car and the two went straight to the hospital.

"Keep your consciousness, Ge, don't faint" Chandra told Gega, who had almost lost consciousness. Gega's hand was holding his blood so as not to come out even more with the handkerchief that Chandra gave.

"Mother, Love, have, met, Pah," Gega replied in a stammer.

"You can tell me everything when you're healed" said Chandra, who kept Gega quiet again.

"Suster, please put this patient first" Chandra said to the nurse who approached him as she saw the police car stopping right at the door of the hospital. The other nurse also came with a hospital push mattress. Chandra immediately moves Gega's body onto the bed. The sisters immediately brought Gega to the emergency room and treated by a doctor with responsiveness. Chandra let out a heavy sigh as he was able to get to the hospital in time. Almost, he lost his son.

"Thank God that Ibu Cinta has met," muttered Chandra as he waited for Gega in front of the door of the ER room.

Mother Love is in a doctor's examination. But it's been an hour and an hour ago they haven't heard from the docer yet. Love stood restlessly with Luka, but this showed at one in the morning. But Luka remained faithful to accompany her without saying anything.

"You can go home, I can accompany Mom here. You must be cape, right?" said Love to Luka.

"Who said?," replied Luka with her flat face.

"You didn't say you were cape, but I know you were cape. Because I also cape, just like you," Love's reply that made Luka stare at him.

"It's really hard for me, if from the beginning I knew it wouldn't be easy to finish, maybe I wouldn't have started any of this. But now, this has really happened. And I put Mom in danger because of me. I'm afraid, I'll make another victim, Luka. I'm afraid, you or the others are in danger because of me, I don't want it to happen to you guys," continued Cinta as she lowered her head.

"You know this is already done, why should there be a word if?. The word if it will not make you can turn the time back. You better think how to go ahead and what steps you should take, no longer busy thinking about how if you do not start all this," replied Luka while embracing the shoulders of Love.

"We can get the answer together, yes?," said Luka with a soothing smile that Love can rarely see. The smile was so sincere and opiate once, and Love loved to see that smile.

"I hope everyone has someone like you in their life who is always by their side and reliable. Sure, fear and worry will not interfere with the mind. Because you always fill my mind with positive things that make me learn a lot from you. You are great, Luka, even if you have a problem you can always be a medicine for others" replied Love.

"Because of that problem I also learned, and the lesson became a medicine for others. Lo is also great, lo problems of this magnitude but you dare to start and look for answers that without fear of the same thing you will face. Because already in the middle of the road, it will be further if you turn around, while everything that has happened can not return. So, we have to keep walking forward and we'll get the answers. Because you have the right, to know what the answer is," Luka replied. Love nodded in agreement and leaned her head on Luka's shoulder. He hopes that Luka will always give his shoulder to rest when he needs a backrest.

"Mother how are things? Why hasn't the doctor come out yet?" asked Love to Luka.

"Still checked, calm down. There's something I want to tell you, but you don't cry," Luka's words just made Love lift her head that was still leaning on her shoulder.

"What?" replied Love with a sudden feeling of unease. The wound whispers something to the ear of Love.

"You're not lying, are you?!" asked Love with teary eyes looking at Luka. Wound's scalp made Love's body fall to the cold hospital floor. What Luka just whispered to him really broke his heart and was hard to believe.

"No, no way," shouts Love with her sobs that immediately broke after that.
