Chapters 18. Deren's Cry (3)

During this year, Aria and Siti lived together and married secretly without any news. For the sake of a quiet life of outside interference, Aria and Siti chose to live in a city at the eastern end of the island of Java, namely Banyuwangi City.

Banyuwangi City was not so crowded in that year, namely in 1978. The population range even only reached 887,340 souls, but Banyuwangi is famous for the Ketapang Port that connects Java and Bali. The culture in the city is also very diverse, ranging from Javanese, Balinese, Madurese, Malay, European, Arabic, Chinese, and Native cultures of the local population, the Osing Culture - from the Osing Tribe which first occupied the Banyuwangi region.

Aria and Siti chose to stay in Banyuwangi because of the Cultural and Regional wisdom close to Bali.

Aria's experience spying on people has been much obtained from the Detective hired by Aria while searching for Siti's whereabouts.

In this city, Aria opened a grocery store connected to their private residence. Simple but happy life, that's what they want right now. Especially when Siti was pregnant with their first child, adding to their gratitude for the life given by God to them both.

But the happy life was only a moment. amidst the warmth of the family they had built from zero, it was instantly destroyed there was nothing left. Of the hundreds of Private Detectives hired by the Sumarja Family, one of them discovers their existence in the city. The detective immediately reported the complete information he had summarized in detail to the Sumarja Family.

Quickly all the Families who received the news immediately acted, especially the Sumarja Main Family who deployed all Personal Guards to set out to escort the Sumarja Family to Banyuwangi. Dozens of black Mercedenz-Benz in 1978 were seen clamping down on the Three 264 GL Volvo Series cars that in that year became Presidential Service cars. They depart simultaneously from Surabaya to Banyuwangi only to pick up Aria directly to return to their families.

Upon arrival in Banyuwangi, Aria who heard that her family had found their whereabouts, quickly informed Siti and asked her to immediately pack up and leave the city of Banyuwangi. But the information he received was too late, the Sumarja Family with hundreds of guards at the time had surrounded and forcibly closed the road which was the main access point and exit of vehicles in the village. Sumarja's family, who saw Aria and Siti carrying the large suitcase, immediately ordered all her guards to separate them, and forcibly pulled Aria into the car of one of their guards. Siti who was then screaming and crying loudly asked Aria to be returned, inviting the villagers to crowd their residence. Siti who could only stare at Aria's departure continued to sob, and finally fainted unconscious due to the severe shock she felt.

Since the incident Aria was thrown back abroad and married directly to Magdalena Oey was lively by both families. Siti is also not known whereabouts, because a week since Aria was forcibly picked up by her family, Siti sold all assets that were in her name. Aria, while buying the property and building the grocery store, had planned to give it all to Siti in case something happened to her. All the finances brought by Aria after disappearing with Siti, in the move on behalf of Siti for her provision later with her son who will grow up if one day Aria dies.
