Rebellion, A Killer's Little Note
Episode 8 - Rain
Rained out..
Rain is the link between heaven and earth. A grain of water from the sky gives its blessing to the earth.
Bella loves the rain. The resonance caused by lightning, followed by the vibrations that captured the sense of touch, created a composition that he liked very much.
Rain can restore memories of past feelings and emotions. About some of the events that revolved around his head like a movie. It was the rain that helped Bella hide her sobs from any human. That's why every rain, Bella always takes her time to sit on the terrace and stare at him for a while.
**************
In the corner of her eyes, Bella looked at the woman again. Stepping under the rain without umbrella protection and barefoot. It was seen that he began to fatigue walking with his stomach growing bigger. Sometimes the woman rubbed her face because of the melt of rain from her hair.
" Sirma!" Bella called out to wave her hand. Unfortunately the rain drowned his voice.
"Yeahahoo!!" Excited again.
Niente. The woman in question did not hear and began to walk slowly eastward. Bella rushed inside, grabbed a small umbrella on the jacket hanger, put on the hood of her jacket and broke out chasing the now-invisible woman.
"Sirma!" He cried again when the distance between them only ranged 2 meters.
The figure he called looked over and smiled.
"Neng, why is it raining? There's her umbrella instead of the dipake" said the woman kindly
"Make mbak." replied Bella as she handed him the umbrella.
At first, Irma refused, but Bella insisted on giving it. Finally they stopped at a stall to shelter because the rain was getting heavier.
"Mbak why sell? It was raining heavily" Bella opened the chat.
Irma's mother smiled
"After mbak, when it rains prayers will be affirmed. Because he said that's when the earth and sky are connected. After praying, I thought it was better for you to make an effort. Prayers are allowed, let alone effort, right? Reply Ms. Irma.
"How do you mean?" Bella stared inexplicably.
Holding an umbrella in her lap, Irma replied.
"The mother prayed, may today sell.. Mbak needs more money to save the cost of childbirth" the woman's view softened and reflexes stroked her bulging stomach.
"Because prayer alone will be lame if without effort. Prayer alone is guaranteed to be worshiped, especially if added effort or effort.."
Bella was silent to understand. Something was stuck in his mind. And, as if to know, Irma explained.
"Suami doesn't come home much, so I have to work on my own as well." continued the woman
Almost everyone in Bella's neighborhood knows who Irma's husband is. But, because of his physical stature, many were silent to dodge out of fear.
Her husband is a gambling man and also drunk. The man is often found in markets close to the minimarket where Bella works. He's famous as a thug. None of the citizens or even community leaders dared to reprimand. Let alone to others, his treatment of mbak Irma as his wife was so bad.
**********
There was no word of speech, rebuttal or word of objection coming out from the figure of the woman before him. The woman was busy folding and tearing pieces of old newspaper, for a wrap of satirical rice that she was going to sell tomorrow.
Feeling no resistance, the man smiled as he stroked the hair of the woman's figure.
"Well, be a wife. You can get pregnant again after we get a lot of money" she continued.
The woman just smiled cynically, and unfortunately, the man saw her
" Why smile like that? You're planning something Irma? Just look, if you fuck!!" Threatened the man began to get upset.
Irma looked deeply into her husband's eyes and said
"Step over my body first, if you want to take my son"
One sentence Irma just now, ignited the suaminye emotions to the highest level. He quickly slapped the woman with all his might until her nose bled. Next grabbed and pulled her hair taut accompanied by a swearing that came out of the man's lips.
This time, the devil really took possession of the man's mind, blindly attacking his wife without caring that she was pregnant. The man's voice and screams were heard. Residents gathered, reported to neighboring houses and neighbourhoods, and raided homes where the torture took place. While Irma, immediately rushed to the nearest hospital igd.
***********
Irma's mother's husband was detained at the meeting hall of the residents where she lived. Mr. RT and Mr. RW have not been able to decide whether they will contact the police or not. This is the first incident. And these community leaders are taking action to decide their next steps. Until the decision was made, they left Irma's husband accompanied by 4 security guards who used to secure the residence of residents.
Almost 2 hours they discussed until finally the decision to report Irma's husband to the police was taken. This was not an easy decision, considering that Irma's husband was a thug who could easily avenge the deeds of those who reported her. After nearly an hour of waiting, authorities arrived and took the man to the police station.
**********
Irma's condition is very concerning. Many bruises were almost all over his body. At this time the woman was moved to the nurse's room accompanied by her close neighbors. They took care of Irma.
***********
A police officer approached the holding cell to see the condition of one of the sick inmates. Cold sweat drenched the man's face and body. For an hour, the man was vomiting. When the officer asked if he was okay, however, the man seemed to have difficulty speaking and moving his limbs. Soon the man was convulsing and losing consciousness. Several police officers contacted the ambulance, but unfortunately, the man died on the way.
**********
Dr Arka wrote a report of the body of a man in police custody when an officer knocked on his door. Yandri stood before him after he invited him to enter. The man handed Yandri an autopsy report, followed by an expression of astonishment and the police read the results.
"Tetrodotoxin?" Ask Yandri
"It's too late" replied Dr. Arka
"Tetrodotoxin is a poison that is usually contained in puffer fish. The effects it causes are nausea, vomiting, difficulty moving and speaking, weakness and motor dysfunction. The cause of his death was nerve damage due to the effects of the poison. There are pufferfish leftovers in his digestive tract. Are the victims of processed food puffer fish?" Ask the old man.
Yandri sighed.
"The man was arrested for domestic violence. His neighbors testified that he was a thug in one of the markets near his home. It is possible that he ate the fish accidentally. Many fish sellers sell puffer fish without knowing how to process it" replied the police
Dr. Arka simply nodded, after a few minutes Yandri left the man's room. In the final report, it was written that the victim died from puffer fish poisoning
