Replacement Liver Driver

Chapter 34. Prime Overtime

Pradha's pupils dilated and his heart raced twice as fast when he saw what was inside the black box. He screamed hysterically, causing Rama to flinch. Rama hugged his lover and tried to calm him down.

"Quiet ... Why, Dha?" rama asked, gently patting the back of the mother of his son.

"That's in that box!" Pradha continued to cry hysterically in the arms of her lover.

"What's with the box?" Rama loosened his arms, then turned to look at the half-open box.

"They sent something terrible, brother."

"I see first, after that we can report it to the police." Rama took off his arms from Pradha, then opened the width of the box that was still lying on the floor.

It turns out there is a bento cake that looks beautiful. However, something that contrasts with the cake I guess is in there. The box was filled with a deep red liquid wrapped in several plastic bags. In addition there is also a knife, and a photo of Pradha that has been slashed.

Rama closed his eyes at a glance and then closed the box again. He could feel how scared Pradha was right now. The terror must make the lover's mental fall.

"I'll call the police, Dha. Be calm. We need them to investigate this and uncover who did it. You're the calm one, aren't you?" Rama summarizes Pradha's beautiful face with both palms, while staring at the intense bead of the lover's eyes.

Pradha could only cry. Tears now flooded the netra and almost the entire face. He was really depressed with the current situation. Pradha is at the lowest point of her life.

His mentality is very depressed with all the problems that hit him in a row. The premature birth of Nakastra, the unraveling of the affair with Rama, as well as all the jobs that were canceled unilaterally. Even now he received blasphemy to terror from an unknown person.

"All will be well, Dha. Come on, you're strong! You can face all this! Let's keep fighting together for Naka. You're a great girl!" Rama kept trying to encourage the lover.

After Pradha calmed down, Rama called the police to report the terror. Shortly thereafter, the police arrived, and took the box away as evidence.

Two days later, a surprising result came out. Police issued a statement that the cake sent to Pradha was found to have been given a deadly poison. This case is not just an ordinary terror, but an attempted murder.

Since that day, Pradha has been under intense police scrutiny during the investigation. He never went alone. Most of the time was spent at home, and every night went to the hospital to visit his son.

Two weeks later ....

Today is the day of the screening of the film oerdana starring Pradha. When the Premier Gala the players were asked to come to the cinema. Pradha initially refuses, but Rama continues to persuade her to take part in appreciating the Gita as well as the rest of the crew. Rama reminds Pradha to keep working professionally by putting aside her personal problems for a moment.

"Yes, we're on our way to the movies." Rama answers Gita's phone while holding the steering wheel.

In the front passenger seat, Pradha was staring at the street with a mind that floated out of nowhere. There was a lot of weight on the woman's head. Moreover, this was the first moment he had appeared again to the public since his disgrace was exposed in public.

Arriving at the largest shopping center in Denpasar City, Rama and Pradha enter through the VVIP door to the cinema. Shortly after the film was shown. Pradha was silent during the screening.

Rama repeatedly asked his lover to speak. However, Pradha only nodded and shook her head when responding to a question from Rama. After the screening, Pradha and other film players walked to the front of the cinema screen.

"Good night everyone!" greet the male lead in the film.

"Dha, it's your turn." Rama nudged Pradha's arm with his elbow.

"Yes?" Pradha who had just daydreamed turned his head towards Rama.

"Your turn is thanking you, as well as the impression and message to the audience." Rama tries to restore Pradha's focus.

"All right," said Pradha briefly.

The woman began to lift the microphone she had been holding. Pradha took a deep breath, then exhaled slowly. When he had just opened his mouth and was about to speak, there was a spectator running over.

The male spectator suddenly threw some rotten eggs. The eggs landed right on Pradha's head and body. The unpleasant aroma now filled the cinema studio.

The man who threw the egg at Pradha is now being snatched by security personnel. The man stared hard at Pradha while cursing. Pradha's face was red withstanding the embarrassment and anger mixed in.

"Just go to hell! You are a public figure, but have contempt! More despicable than the devil!" said the man who covered part of his face with the mask.

Pradha's heart was pierced with thousands of needles. I don't feel her tears dripping. He did not expect to be that low in the public eye. Pradha took a deep breath and exhaled slowly.

Pradha gathered the remaining mental and strength. He lifted the microphone again and started talking. His voice trembled with deep sadness.

"Previously thank you, because thanks to all of you who are here so you can taste how happy it is to entertain others through some work." Pradha began to stammer because of sobs.

"I'm sorry, for not being able to meet your expectations to be a perfect public figure. I'm breaking your shadow, thinking I'm a nice, classy woman." Pradha continued to talk while sweeping the view to the entire room with minimal lighting.

"I'm just a human being, just like you. I am not an angel who never makes mistakes. Today, at this hour, as well as at the same second, I declare retreat from the entertainment world."

Everyone in the room was silent. Some of them stare and whisper to each other occasionally. The other filmmakers stared in shock at Pradha.

"Thank you for giving this despicable human a chance to comfort you, even if not for long. I'm saying goodbye." Pradha bowed then inched from inside the room.

Rama half-runs to Pradha. He pulled the lover's arm, then hugged her tightly. Pradha immediately shed tears, to make the T-shirt used by Rama become wet because of the clear grain.

"No pa-pa. Cry, after this everything will be fine."
