On a sunny Saturday morning, Rita and Daniel work out together at their gym subscription, they are engrossed in chatting.
“How is Rit school?” daniel opened the conversation
“Customize just”
“No exciting incident? Usually around you a lot of exciting events?”
“Since Sisca's bullying was uncovered, many gang children disbanded.”
“Oh yes? can that?”
“Can dong, the proof that was always in groups of play, now they prefer to be alone, at least 1-2 people”
“The head of the school is great dong can disperse a kayak gang so?”
“Not the principal, but the owner of the school. After Sisca's bullying, he accidentally comes to school, and calls the students whose son is the head of the gang. I don't know what the owner said , the next day a lot of gangs disbanded.”
“Actually the gang is not a problem, we will gather together people who are one thought. Gangs become problematic if they start bullying others, is not Rit?”
“Throttle once!”
“Oh yes, do you remember my friend Saveetri?”
“Hmm..That Saveetri in UAE?”
“You remember apparently, now he is here!”
“Here where?”
“In Auckland! “
“Keuh really ya?”
“Means?”
“Iya, He chased you all the way here!”
“You're jealous?” Daniel is rubbing Rita's chin. Rita turned her face away
“I see you are very familiar with him, have you ever had a history?”
“Meaning special relationship?” , Daniel's question was answered with a nod by Rita
“I used to love it, Saveetri was a unique, brave, beautiful girl again. Many guys in our training have a crush with him”
“Include you?” search Rita
“Hahaha...do I need to answer yes? that's the past!” Daniel blushed
“Tuhh right!!!” Rita pointed at Daniel's blushing face change
“Eh why?” daniel asked confused
“Your face is always blushed if teased by Saveetri or discuss about himself”, said Rita annoyed
“Don't be upset that way, everyone has a past right?”
“OK, I've told you about my past, now you're telling me about your past!”
“I'll ever tell you about my childhood?”
“Not about childhood, but your love story! I don't want you to be trapped in CLBK!”
“CLBK what is it?”
“Long Love Hasn't Been!”
“Hehehe. More fitting that love clapping one hand!”
“Hah? Who's He?” rita asked in shock, Daniel shook his head
“You? She rejected you Niel?” ask Rita in shock
“Why surprised? I'm often rejected girls tau!”
“Times anyway?” Rita does not believe
“Totally! But thanks for the compliment!”
“Saveetri what is the person to reject you?”
“hmmm...to how many? I don't remember, because I don't want to remember failure. If it fails it will not work!”
“Yes!!, you are silly too huh??” rita said amused, only this time he saw the silly side of Daniel
“Saveetri was born in India but grew up in London. His family immigrated to London, as they considered India very intolerant of people of different faiths.”
“Saveetri was taken from the name of the Goddess in India right?” ask Rita
“Betul, but he's a Muslim! His father named Saveetri so that he did not get into trouble at school. But when he was 10 years old, riots broke out between Hindus and Muslims. Many victims fell, finally Saveetri's father brought his family moved from India”
“Actually the wrong is not his religion, but people who use religion to oppress others!”
“that's right, Saveetri also said that, often the riots were triggered by the opinion of one politician who offended other religious people, finally attacked each other, the victims of innocent people”
“Then, why did Saveetri get into the training camp?”
“His experience of seeing violence in his childhood traumatized him, to overcome that he studied martial arts. He also briefly became an Olympic athlete taekwondo branch representing England”
“Great war!”
“Why doesn't he continue his athlete career?”
“His family is struggling economically, being an athlete does not provide him with enough income. A former athlete or senior takes him. His initial assignment was to secure only US artists who were performing in the UK. The income he got as a bodyguard is very good, finally he decided to pursue the field!”
“Then why were you rejected by him?”
“You are curious huh? “
“Sure dong, in terms of appearance, it seems difficult to reject you!” rita is honest
“ehhm..I consider it a compliment yes, but this proves that beautiful or handsome is relative, handsome you do not necessarily handsome according to others! and not necessarily the good looks or beauty of a person is attractive to others”
“Yaa, I agree, continue your story!”
“Nah, it turns out that the senior who invited him to be a bodyguard was his first love Saveetri. He loved it since he first met in London”
“The senior is also Indian?”
“Yes right!, now the senior is becoming her husband!”
“Waaahhh..great, who says first love can't be?”
“What the heck? New quote?” ask Daniel in wonder
“No, in the past me and friends had a discussion about first love, I was among those who did not believe that first love could be.”
“Yaa depends on the person as well anyway, want me to continue not?”
“More dong!”
“Fredy, my roommate also has a crush on Saveetri. He told me. I had a crush on Saveetri, too, but I didn't tell Fredy. Besides being embarrassed, I also don't want us to fuss over girls. So I just kept quiet to hear Fredy”'s curses
“What did Fredy shoot Saveetri?”
“Yes, but rejected. Fredy was in shock, he broke down to practice. She said she wasn't ready to see Saveetri”'s face
“Then?”
“He was upset with Saveetri, I saw his attitude change which became rude to him. I understand Fredy's anger, but he shouldn't have behaved like that?”
“Indeed what does he do?”
“He spread rumors that Saveetri is easy to sleep with by guys anywhere”
“Waduh that bad, I just know that the guy hurt, same yes the girl, then what do you do to stop the rumors?”
“At first I didn't know who spread the rumor Fredy”
“How did you know?”
“Saveetri, he made Fredy confess his deeds. I remember Fredy's half-bonyok face from being beaten by Saveetri”
“Fredy is not easily kapok, instead he is more savage, he invites his friends to gang up on Saveetri, even before he gives a sedative to him, so that Saveetri weakened”
“Then, what are you doing?”
“Fredy thinks I'm one of his friends who complies with his will, I prevent bad things from happening to Saveetri. Yes you could say I saved him.”
“You're Fredy dong's enemy?”
“Ya, what can I do. He forced me to choose. How can I help a crime? He will ruin a woman just because he rejects her love. It's silly, inciting other friends to gang up on a woman, it's cowardly!”
“But Niel, are you not considered a traitor by Fredy and friends?”
“Since Fredy was battered by Saveetri, Fredy no longer considers me a friend, I wonder too. At first I was confused by his attitude that always avoided me if I spoke. It turns out he had other intentions. I'm grateful not to be involved in his evil plans.”
“While yes, kog can? Have you ever done anything with Fredy or Saveetri?”
“Hmm.maybe yes, I'm not sure either. Fredy once caught Saveetri crying on my shoulder”
“Why? Are you that close until Saveetri cries on your shoulders?”
“ehem..actually, back then I confessed my feelings to her, uh she suddenly cried. He cried long enough. I bought her ice cream, and she stopped crying. Then he said, regretting not being able to return my feelings because he already liked his senior brother. He also apologized for making me and Fredy misunderstand because his attitude was too friendly to everyone.”
“You? Are you sad?”
“Sad? Of course dong, I really like him, I understand Fredy's feelings. But I also don't want to force people to like me, do I? That liking can't be forced isn't it?”
“Tuh!!, Then what about Fredy?”
“He was arrested by the police, I heard he was sentenced to 5 years in prison in London. I have never heard from him again!”
“Seru too huh? Daniel, Saveetri says you're a loyal man, how does he know? You guys never got close?”
“You ask him dong, who said he was, the guy came!” Daniel pointed to someone who was approaching them. Rita turned her head, she saw Saveetri come holding a boy.
“Hai Rita, how are you? sorry I interrupted your sport!” Saveetri salutes Rita
“Nothing, we're done kog, it's drying sweat, oiya who's this little prince?” Rita greets Saveetri's son
“This is my son, his name is Dylan Shaakur!”
“Hai Dylan, I onty Rita!” Rita held Dylan's little hand. Suddenly Dylan moved from Saveetri's sling, wanting to be carried by Rita
“He likes you Rita!” Saveetri was about to give Dylan to Rita, Rita picked him up but not brought close to her body
“Onty more Dylan sweat, just play there yuk!” Rita takes Dylan down and takes him to the playground.
Saveetri and Daniel see Rita, both smiling
“Rita good girl Niel!, my son just likes her!, keep ya?” saveetri smiled, Daniel returned his smile, they sat in the cafe gym.
“So what business is there all the way here?” daniel asked, taking off his gloves
Saveetri opened the large bag he was carrying, then picked up a large envelope
“What's new?”
“Open first!”
Daniel opened a large envelope, when it was opened it contained several photos of burning houses and some photos of paintings of crying children.
“ini what Vit?”
“You believe in the curse of Niel?” ask Saveetri
“Curse? For example what?”
“I'm investigating a house fire case. “
“You're a cop or an investigator?”
“Not so Niel, one of my clients bought a painting of a crying child. They say the painting is cursed, those who buy the painting his house will burn”
“You believe that?”
“Believe can't believe Niel, this mansion belongs to my client who bought the painting, now it is burned out, strangely only the painting is not burned.”
“So you think the child in the painting burned the house?”
“It seems so that Niel” suddenly changes Saveetri's voice like a whisper
“Konon said this crying child painter got inspiration from the child whose both parents burned inside the house. So he painted the boy. Because the painting was so realistic, it was a hard sell. So the painter made even more of the painting. The problem was, the painted child had finally died. Since then, the people who bought the painting have been on fire. My house almost burned when it was copied by my client.”
“Oh yes? then just throw away the painting!”
“That's the problem Niel, every discarded, the painting always comes back. We've installed CCTV in every place to find out who reassembled the painting. But before the painting back to the wall, our cctv is always broken like disconnected then back ON and voilaa.painting it back to the wall.”
“But the house where the painting is not burned right?”
“Now we put it outside, he said every night people often see small children running around the painting.”
“You came here Just want to scare me huh?” daniel was upset
“Not so Niel, I want to ask for “
“What?”
“You know the owner Charles Air right? You used a Charles Air jet while in UEA”
“Then?”
“Pak Charles offered the painting!, my client said it wasn't for sale, he was afraid the curse was spreading. My client doesn't want Mr. Charles' family to experience anything similar. So he asked us to return the money.”
“Restore it yourself, provide these facts!”
“The problem is that Mr. Charles is a person who does not believe in the superstition of Niel, the refund from us is always rejected. And he insisted on bringing the painting”
“Then just give it to him!, what happens after that becomes his business, done right?”
“But that's not what my client Niel wants. Help me, will you? please?”
“Honestly, this is the strangest request I've ever had!”
Not long after Rita and Dylan came, Dylan looked so carefree, in his hands he held 2 pieces of ice cream
“mama!” call Dylan, he shows the two icicles in his hand
“Where is ice from dear?” ask Saveetri
Dylan pointed at Rita with a laugh, then he approached Rita and kissed her lips, Saveetri and Daniel laughed amusedly at Dylan's behavior.
“Thanks!” said Dylan
Rita smiled. From the gym they stopped by at a restaurant, long enough they talked, until the time came home. Dylan fell asleep in Daniel's lap, looking very comfortable with him
“Daniel is indeed easy to get close to children because he is like a kid!” saveetri smiled.
“I'll drive you to the car, Dylan is quite heavy!” daniel said as he carried Dylan
Daniel and Rita drive Saveetri to her car, Dylan in the baby seat on the passenger side.
“Tell me yes Niel, Rita thank you for accompanying Us!” saveetri car away from the resto parking lot
“What's Saveetri here Niel?” rita asked, Daniel told her about his meeting with Saveetri
“What a strange request yes, let it be if Mr. Charles wants to buy the painting is precisely in order right?”
“I said so too, but it seems like something has not been told honestly by her”
“oya? Do you know where?”
“Feeling only, we go home yuk!” take Daniel, Rita nodded. Their car got out of the restaurant parking lot and returned to the mansion. Arriving at home
“Niel, you will help Saveetri?” ask Rita curiously
“Maybe I can try it?”
“Alright, until tomorrow Niel!, WA yes when you get home!”
