"We go home now" I said, to Arum who was waiting near the bike. He refused to come because he was afraid of being scolded.
"Going home? Uh, that's ...." Arum nervous.
"Why Rum?"
"Yu, before you go home, accompany me for a moment. I'm gonna see a friend."
"Not long, is it?"
"No, just for a minute. After that we go straight home."
"Yes already."
"Make Yu, you are indeed my best cousin!"
"You're good too, Rum. Has brought me here, even if the results are not as expected."
"Hmm, Yu, hopefully after this there will be nothing to stand in the way of Tika."
I immediately went up to the boncer, after which Arum immediately hit the gas to the place of his appointment.
Arum took me to a park that was quite quiet, he asked me to accompany him, whereas before I wanted to wait in the parking lot. Getting there, not waiting for a long time, the person who awaited Arum came. How surprised I was to see the figure who came to see us.
Juan Utomo's. That man, the one who ruined my life, is now just a few feet away from me.
"Rum, what the hell is this?" I asked Arum. I'm honestly upset with him. What plan has been drawn up. Why did he meet me with that man. Also, it means Arum is communicating with him.
"Yu, don't misunderstand me first," Arum held my right hand.
"Don't misunderstand me? Then why is he here?" I exploded, unable to hold back my emotions. At a time like this, when my head was dizzy thinking about the cancellation of Tika's wedding plan, suddenly I even had to meet the man and the one who became your intermediary was Arum. My cousin. "It's really funny!"
"Yu, don't be mad at Arum. It's all because of my request. If you want to be angry, it's enough for me. I had no choice but to meet you, I had to talk about everything." Juan opens the voice.
"Talk? What talk, hey pemperko**! Not satisfied that you ruined my life and my family? Now what else do you want to do, huh? You put my father and my husband in jail, terrorized us, and canceled my brother's marriage. What else is less?" I almost screamed, so stressed with all this.
"Sorry ..." he looked down.
Although his face looked clear, showing remorse, but it would not change my hatred for him. My hatred is deep. He has destroyed everything, even Tika was affected by his actions.
"Yes, Juan just wanted to apologize. He's sorry and will take responsibility." Arum helps talk.
"Imresponsible? Wh-wh-what for? I don't need any of that. I just want him rotting in jail!" I said.
"Alright Yu, if that's what you want. Right now I'm going to the police station and asking to be detained" he said.
"Then what do you mean? You want me to shut up, Rum? You saw what happened! Because of him, my family has had to accept the impact. Though we had nothing wrong with him, when we asked for justice even got no bad treatment." I said.
"But Juan already regrets it, Yu. He was wrong. This happened because he was falling. Juan drank and everything happened." bela Arum. "And the one who terrorized our family was not Juan, but his father's man. Juan was angry at what his father had done."
"You know all, Rum. So, how close are you guys?' I looked at the wonder of Arum. Unexpectedly, the cousin who was only a year adrift was apparently friends with the man who had ruined my life. I have no right to forbid it, but as part of my family, I feel disappointed in him.
"Yu, Arum is not wrong. I forced him to help me. I need to talk to you. Make a deal so that no more terror or unfair things my parents do to your family" Juan said.
"Deal? Huhh, I have no interest in making deals with criminals!" I said cynically.
"Jeez," call Arum. "Listen to what Juan said, don't be stubborn. You know, Juan's going back to Jakarta. He should continue his studies. The time is very limited. That's why you have to hear the explanation because if you don't want to then whenever your family is not safe, Yu. Do you have the heart with Pak Lik who has to go back and forth from the police station but is not responded to? Or the Yuda who has lost his job? Also Tika's mom?"
"Tu .. wait. What do you mean, Rum? Did Yuda lose his job?" I frowned.
"Yes. Yuda is fired!" firmly Arum.
"Astagfirullah," my body immediately went limp. Unable to imagine how devastated the feelings of Yuda and mbak Yuni. Why should they be affected?
My body almost crashed, but Juan quickly caught my arm so I did not fall.
"I'm sorry, Yu." Said.
"Let go!" I tried to escape, but because I was still weak, my efforts to escape were only in vain. He also did not want to let me go.
"Yu, don't be stubborn." Arum advised. "Listen first to Juan's proposal, after that we only discuss whether you can accept it or not, so that this chaos can end immediately. Don't you have pity on my father, mbak and masku?"
Why, why do I have to be sacrificed again? Why should I listen to that man. Isn't he the one who ruined my future, then why is he also the one who has the right to decide what to do next? I just want justice, I don't need anything else!
"I want to go home!" I said, struggling for Juan to let go. Being held by him frightened me, the shadows of the events of that afternoon kept appearing. "Rum, take me home!" i'm yelling.
"Later on, you're still pale, Yu." Said.
"Take me off!" like a hungry lioness looking at her prey, it felt like I wanted to tear this man apart, but unfortunately my body felt very weak, even to let go of its grip I was not strong. "Take me off!" i said again.
"Yu," Arum tried to calm down. "Don't let this meeting go to waste. Come on, just be a little grown up. It's all for the good of us all. Juan's ready to take responsibility, he didn't mean to hurt you, Yu. He's really sorry he did all this to you, but Juan has so much respect for you."
"Ohhh, who cares. I don't need your nonsensical defense, Rum. Now drive me home or you'll get in trouble!"; I had to make a threat because they both still wanted to arrest me.
"It's not a defense, I'm telling the truth" Arum said.
"Since when .. since when did you know her? How close are you to being so sure he's innocent? Answer Rum! If you want to defend him, do not be responsible. You know everything, what he's done to me and my family, but why would you betray us? Why Rum? What did he give you, huh?" now I'm looking for Arum. I can't wait to see my cousin's attitude, he's so hearty with me.
