Morning at Rudi's House
Rudi gets ready to go to work after breakfast with Maya and Rizky. She kisses Maya and Rizky affectionately before rushing out.
Rudi: "Maya, I'll go first. Take good care of Rizky. I'll be home soon."
Maya: "Sure, Rudi. Be careful out there. I'll wait for you at home."
Rudi left with a warm feeling and a smile on his face, ready to face the outside world to give his family a better life.
...****************...
The afternoon came when Rudi went home. He crossed a dark narrow passageway towards their residence. However, in the middle of the journey, Rudi was suddenly confronted by some thugs standing in front of him, blocking his path.
Thug 1 (sharp eyes): "Hey, you, newcomer. What is your business in this city? We want to know."
Rudi (strictly): "I'm just an ordinary worker. I don't want to create problems. Please let me through."
Thug 2 (sneer smiles): "Oh, arrogant newcomer. We think you need to pay 'protection' to us."
Rudi (quietly): "I don't have any money for that. I just want to go home and protect my family."
Thug 3 (threatening): "So, you want to fight? You don't know who you're dealing with, newcomer."
Without mercy, the thugs began to attack Rudi violently. Rudi tried to defend himself, using all his skills that he learned in the past. Although he tried to hold on, but he was surrounded and trapped by their strength.
With a final push of strength, Rudi managed to break free from the clutches of those thugs. He ran with all his might, dodged their blows, and finally managed to escape.
Blood flowed from the wounds he had sustained, but Rudi did not give up. He pursues the dream he has built with his family, and no violence will stand in his way.
Rudi arrived home, with a gasp of breath and his body tired. Maya is anxious and worried to see her condition.
Maya (with worry): "Rudi! What the hell's going on?
Rudi (sighs): "Maya, I was attacked by some thugs in the hallway. They want protection money and when I refuse, they attack me."
Maya (surprised): "Oh no, Rudi! Are you all right? We have to report to the police!"
Rudi (soothing Maya): "Quiet, Maya. I'm doing fine. They didn't hurt me too badly. But we have to be careful. It seems they are not happy with our existence in this city."
Maya (holding Rudi's hand firmly): "We cannot remain silent. We have to protect our families. We can seek help from the authorities and take appropriate security measures."
Rudi (while contemplating): "You are right, Maya. We have to protect Rizky and make sure that our lives are safe. They won't ruin our dreams for a better life."
They contacted local police and told of the incident. The police gave advice on the security measures to be taken and promised to investigate the case.
Rudi and Maya strengthen the security of their homes, install additional security systems, and establish relationships with neighbors to take care of each other. They will not let fear and violence rule their lives.
Their happy and quiet lives in a new city are threatened by the shadows of a dark past. However, Rudi and Maya unite as a strong couple and are committed to protecting their family. They are ready to face all the challenges and trials that come their way, in the hope that their love and determination will lead the way to a safe and peaceful life.
