Picking Up the Past

The 22 Years of Silam

That night the weather felt cooler than usual, but the capital always felt hot every day, but for some reason for Indra, the cold night wind greeted his skin.

Gibran was still busy explaining what to do as long as he was gone, having finished explaining everything in detail to Aliando, Gibran then looked for a moment at Aliando and took a deep breath.

“i really want you to be able to do everything well ndo,”

“abang take it easy, I can manage this company myself even though my brother is no longer in this world” said Aliando with a cynical smile towards Gibran,

“what do you mean smile like that?” gibran said, unhappy with Aliando's smile.

“letter mandate take care of the company I have received, I no longer need brother is here” said Aliando, he then stood up and walked out, “finish according to plan” he told a man standing there,

Gibran stood up, he felt disrespected by Aliando, “you this is nothing?” gibran half-screamed.

One of the well-built men held Gibran's hand so firmly that he could not move, “who are you?” asked Gibran in his angry tone,

“I will take care of your company after you die, calm down in nature there Gibran” said Aliando for a moment looking at Gibran, then he stepped out the door “hey you” shouted Gibran,

“sorry sir, you are too naive to trust a person like him, he has long been eyeing all yours” said One man, and then heard the sound of gunfire, 2 Bullets pierced Gibran's head, killing him instantly.

Hearing the gunshots, Naina and Indra are shocked, Naina then runs towards the door of her room to see what is happening, she can see her husband sprawled in the living room, there he also saw there were 2 large men who were both holding a gun.

Naina's eyes widened in disbelief, she covered her mouth with her hands so as not to make a sound, she then ran towards Indra and opened the window so that Indra immediately ran, “ibu, what is it?” asked Indra who was confused because her mother pulled her in a panic and a face full of fear.

But not yet had the window open, the sound of footsteps has been heard approaching to his room, “ibu, what is it?” ask Indra again who is still confused with her mother.

Naina then pulled Indra's hand and opened her closet, she then pushed Indra's body into the closet, and tried to close it back, “ibu why?” asked Indra again who was still confused with her mother, but Naina was only silent, she was still panicked and afraid of the situation, had not had the closet door closed by Naina, but she was still scared, he has heard a male voice from the direction of his bedroom door, “ayo enter” said one of the men who can be heard by Naina and Indra, said,

Indra then clenched her mouth so as not to make a sound while Naina surged in shock so that the closet door was partially opened which made Indra able to see her mother's body trembling in fear.

“who are you?” naina shouted, hoping that the man did not know the whereabouts of his son in the closet that is still open,

The man dragging Gibran stood in the doorway and stomped on Gibran's body with his right foot, while another man entered the room and approached Naina “bang, where he was waiting, wake up bang” shouted Naina.

“dear once a woman as beautiful as you have to die with this gun” said the man in the black jacket who walked towards Naina, who was a woman, Indra could clearly see that the man was pointing a gun at his mother which made her whole body shiver in fear.

“what do you want?, take everything I have” said Naina again, she continued to walk backwards backwards as the man in front of her continued to walk forward towards her,

“Mr Aliando wants the death of your whole family” said the man who was clearly heard by Indra,

Naina shook her head in disbelief, Aliando had betrayed her husband's trust, before long there was a gun explosion 2 more times and the bullet penetrated into Naina's stomach and chest, and he was slumped weakly to the floor, immediately,

“ayo to the top floor, find her son” said one of the men, and the two men immediately left Naina's room.

“father, mother, mother, ” Indra came out of the closet where he was hiding, he then ran towards his mother who had been drenched in blood, he rubbed his mother's paled face, and he rubbed his mother's face, and his cry could no longer be contained, not far from there he saw the father who was also drenched in blood with a gun in his father's right hand,

Indra gets up to see her father, but with her hands held by the dying Naina with her breath running out, Indra looks up at her living mother and immediately hugs her mother tightly.

“la,,,,,,,la,,, ri” said Naina could no longer let out her voice, she was only able to move her lips slowly, Indra sobbed to hold back tears at the condition of her mother, “ibu,,,,” said Indra sobbing noiselessly,

“la,,,ri” said Naina again in between her breathing is running out, Naina also closed her eyes in Indra's embrace, Indra's body vibrates violently holding back tears, the 6-year-old boy let go of his mother in his arms to leave this world.

Indra took off her mother's lifeless body, and then got up to see her father, but the sound of her feet coming from upstairs frightened her, he immediately got up and took a picture on the small table beside his father and mother's bed, and then came out of the window where he had looked at the moon.

Indra then ran towards the gate, he could see Aliando standing near the car while smoking delicious cigarettes on his lips, ‘om Aliando, he said, I had to ask for help om Aliando’ Indra immediately ran towards Aliando, but his steps stopped after seeing 2 men in black jackets who shot his mother also walked towards Aliando,

“sorry sir, the boy was not found” said one of the men, as quoted by Reuters,

“ahh shit, how are you?, let's quickly find again, the boy must be in” said Aliando angrily, “baik tuan” the two men then went back inside the house to look for Indra, Indra then turned her body after hearing it all, she then ran towards the back door, he then ran towards the back door,

Indra ran as fast as he used to, which he knew he had to run as far as he could in order to survive the stab of the demon, “father mother,, father mother,,,,, mother,,, and so on,,,” cried out Indra's heart which continued to hold back tears.
