THE BARA OF THE PAST

THE BARA OF THE PAST
The Secret of Nerwani Crime



Liodra could only look at Baskoro's face covered in an oxygen mask. The man was not what Liodra had imagined. Just as Devano imagined the man who had ruined their lives turned out to be just a weak man helplessly.


"How did you find him?" liodra asked Devano.


"It was Zara's accident to tell me" Devano replied.


"So she doesn't know yet?" ask Liodra again.


Devano shook his head. "Maybe he never knew we were in the world."


Liodra exhaled a rough breath. "It can't be because she and my mom loved each other first, they even eloped."


"Yes, at least you're luckier than I am because my mother never even married this man."


Zara just stared at the two brothers in front of her. He had already seen no more love in Devano's eyes for Liodra. Zara is determined to accept Devano as her husband.


"So, how now?" ask Liodra.


"We have to wait for news from Marcela."

Beni would not let his son be in Marcela's grip for long. After being informed that Ryo was kidnapped by Marcela, Beni immediately tracks down Marcela's mobile number. It turned out that the girl was smart enough to immediately annihilate the number she used to call Liodra.


"Sial, it turns out the number is not active," said Beni. "We mustn't have a snot," hardened him.


"Don't be rash! Don't make the wrong decision and put Ryo in danger" Lestari told her husband.

Surya's friend who works in the police quickly searches for information on Asep's whereabouts. Despite not getting a clue, they were tapping the phone number used by Asep, but again Asep has changed the number.


***


"Hello, Ela, how is it? Have you confirmed that Baskoro's report has been revoked?" ask Asep.


"It has. Ranto made sure of it" answered Marcela.


"Then we immediately get to the place we agreed upon."


"Okay, Dad, I'll take Mom and Grandma there" Marcela replied.


He had indeed prepared a house far outside the city to launch his plan.


"Hello, Ranto, now let Ryo go! Make sure he won't say anything to the police."


"Ready" answered Ranto.


Marcela called Liodra. "Ryo I've let go. If the police still pursue my father then your brother who is in Germany will lose his life" Marcela threatened.


Just as Liodra was about to answer, Marcela immediately turned off the phone.


"What Marcela was talking about. This crazy guy he said my brother was in Germany and that the police knew my brother was going to die" Liodra said.


Devano hit his head. "We have two brothers who live in Germany. Apparently they've been used as a threat to Mr. Baskoro."


"Then, Zara told Om Surya not to involve the police first."


"Alright," Zara replied, calling her papa immediately.

Nerwani went on a rampage hearing Marcela was about to take them to a faraway place. Although his movements were limited, but Nerwani stomped his feet with the strength he had.


"It looks like your mother won't leave this place, Ela," Sudarsih told his granddaughter.


"Can't, Grandma! Our position is not safe now. We better get out of this place.


"What really happened to Marcela? You're making Grandma very scared."


"Here you go, Grandma, don't talk too much. We'll get Mom out of here soon!" marcela was impatient. While Sudarsih can only stroke his chest.

Ryo who had been released by the side of the road, slightly squinted his eyes as the sunlight directly penetrated blindingly into the eyes.


"Damn it! Where is this," he said in confusion. He is far outside the city of Jakarta. "I have to tell Papa right away," she said.


Ryo rushed to seek help to inform him that he had survived. Beni who received the call from Ryo gave thanks. "So you survived?"


"Yes, Pa, don't worry Ryo's okay. Looks like the kidnapper was just bluffing" said Ryo.


"The kidnapper was related to Liodra" Beni said.


"How's Liodra doing now?" ask Ryo.


"He's all right. Now he's in Bandung to see his biological father."


"Sir Baskoro?" ask Rio again.


"It's all still related to Liodra's papa named Baskoro."


"Yes, my God, who would do this. I'm like hearing the voice of a woman commanding on the phone." Ryo added.


"The betul, his name is Marcela, Liodra's best friend."


"Papa immediately ordered Papa's men to arrest Marcela because our lawyers already knew about Marcela's fraud."


"This is what Papa's been waiting for. Thank you, Ryo. Hurry home! Your mother can't wait for you."


Beni immediately contacted her lawyer to confirm the information she got from Ryo. What matters is that now her son is safe. Together with lawyers, they eventually reported Marcela to the police on suspicion of falsification of documents.

Asep, Marcela, Nerwani and Sudarsih had gathered in a secret house. Asep hugged the body of Nerwani who just kept crying.


"I'm sorry for not being able to avenge you again, but I can confirm that Baskoro will soon die like his mother did."


Nerwani's cries grew louder. Tears were pouring down her cheeks. Still fresh in his memory when he ordered Asep to slowly insert poison into the drink of Goddess Murtiningsih which resulted in the woman finally died.


It was a crime he had been hiding for so long. While the idea to master Baskoro's treasure came from Asep, her husband.


"Are we safe here?" ask Marcela.


"of course. What are we afraid of?" Asep.


"No! I feel insecure. We better go abroad soon. All the documents I've prepared, Dad," said Marcela.


"Grandmother and mother are not going anywhere anymore" Sudarsih snapped.


"Grandmothers are tired of following your ambitions. Grandma will take care of Nerwani alone. If you want to go, just go!"Sudarsih.


"Don't create new problems, Grandma," said Marcela.


"You've been Grandma's warning from a long time. Don't cultivate vengeance. Now you see for yourself the condition of your mother. From her movements Grandma knows, your mother doesn't approve of our departure."


"Lift hand! Don'tdon't move! It's the police who will arrest Mr. Asep and Ms. Marcela with a lot of crime!"


Sound from outside. Apparently police. Surya's friends do not want to obey Surya's will.


"This is a crime that cannot be allowed," said friend Surya.


That night, Asep and Marcela were snatched up by police officers. Nerwani. Somehow he seemed to have a new strength, grabbing his own hair.


There was one thing that Nerwani regretted. He still had not had time to tell Marcela that actually Marcela is the biological child of Baskoro, a fruit of love in the past that was never sanctioned by Dewi Murtiningsih, Baskoro's mother.


At the hospital, Baskoro was unconscious. Even his condition is getting worse. His breath was one-on-one.


Nerwani banged his head against the wall without Sudarsih's knowledge. The old woman screamed when she found Nerwani's body covered in blood.
