THE GRUDGE THAT BURNS

Equally wounded

In his house, Yasmin and her family were waiting for Argana and the others.It was past five minutes, but they did not come.Yasmin had been restless since then, as well as his father.

"How much longer do I have to wait" said the pengulu

"Wait a minute sir." said Yasmin's mother's relative

"Alright, ten more minutes if he doesn't come.Forced me to go, because I'm going to the next village.Because there will be married." said the ruler ,he said the truth, Because he will marry people again after this.

Hearing the words of the ruler, Yasmin was increasingly panicked.He always hoped, Argana's entourage soon came.He was thinking with his dream at that time, he had dreamed Argana left him on their wedding day.And now, Argana,he was afraid that the dream would come true.

Not long after, Argana's entourage came.They came with a tense and flat face.Everyone looked at them in wonder.Usually if going to get married, someone would smile continuously.

Argana and her family entered the house and approached Yasmin.The man who was about to marry Yasmin looked at Bima and Yasmin in turn.

"What's the Arga bang?"yasmin asked when she saw Argana's flat gaze on him.Argana did not answer the question Yasmin asked.

The man was confused by his feelings.One side he wanted to marry his girlfriend, but on the other hand he was disappointed.Why this girl did not say the truth to him.I think Argana wanted to laugh as hard as her,there was no way the girl would be honest with him.If told to choose, maybe the girl would choose her own father over her.

He continued to stare in Yasmin, while Yasmin was nervous with Argana's gaze.

'Why is bang Arga staring at me like that?' yasmin said

After staring at Yasmin, Argana's gaze turned towards Bima.He looked at the man, looking at the man,and he did not expect if the father of his future wife was the one who did the heinous deed.How could he bear to snatch her parents when she was just born.The feeling of Argana is very dilemma now, she is very confused.

While both grandfather and uncle Argana had been holding back their emotions, so as not to do anything before Argana did something.If Argana did not hold back, maybe they had destroyed their prospective besan.

"Uncle, I'm disappointed in you." said Argana while looking at Bima, Bima who was stared at also felt strange with the words Argana."What do you mean Arga? And why are you guys late?"asked the man in an unhappy tone

"Why can't uncle do this to me.I don't think that uncle is the mastermind who planned the murder of my father and mother.And with his heart the uncle incited the citizens to hate both my parents and burn them inside home."say Argana emotionally, Johan stood beside him by gently rubbing his shoulders

"What do you mean? I don't understand what you're saying." said Bima firmly

"And as for you Yasmin, I am very disappointed in you.However you cover this matter up in a meeting,do not pity me who must feel like an orphan since a few hours newborn at that time." said Argana with a chest that feels tight, because his emotions began to burn.

"Bang Arga, aa-I don't mean to cover her from you.I'm just scared." Yasmin said nervously

"What's this about? What did the young man mean?"ask one citizen to another

"I also don't know, why did the young man tell such a story about events decades ago?"ask them confused

Mr. Kades explained to his citizens, "Fathers, mothers of all.It turns out this young man is the son of Fandi and Arum.We have been exposed to the incitement of Bima, if Fandi has stuck a child of one of our citizens.Padah, we have been exposed to the incitement of Bima, if Fandi has been,Fandi never did it all.He was so kind to us and helped others, how could he do such a heinous deed to us."

"And even more foolishly, we really believe what Bima said at that time." said one of them, he was Aziz.

"Well, is it true that the young man was the son of Fandi and Arum? How did their son survive the fire? While Fandi and his wife did not survive" asked the resident

"I was saved by BI Inah, he who took care of me from childhood with bang Rizal.See him, he is the son of Bi Inah.Bang Rizal participated in raising me.They both gave me affection,because I was just born already an orphan.This is the result of the slander that this man did." said Argana while directing her index day to Bima

Everyone was shocked, and did not think through the actions of Bima.If it is true, they feel guilty towards Fandi and his wife.And also against this young man.Because they are Argana must feel the pain of being separated from both parents.

"The young man's words were right, Bima was the mastermind of the event." said one of the residents, he was Aziz.

"Why are you saying that, Aziz? How do you know all that?"ask Miss kades

"I apologize to all of you.I also plead guilty, I was with Lukman and Ahmad was ordered by Bima to instigate you at that time." Aziz said honestly

All the residents were surprised, then they looked at Bima and Aziz with angry gazes.Contact only Bima and Aziz felt tense and panicked.Aziz was really ready if he was tried and punished.By Bima, and Aziz, who was really,he only briefly felt fear.He again changed his fearful expression.

"Hahaha do you want to report my granddaughter to the police? Try it if you can. There are even you who go to prison, not my grandson." said Ibrahim mocked Bima no less cynical

"You said a lie, I didn't do it all.O villagers want to, I was just slandered by them.And they also have no evidence." said Bima reassured the residents

"We have the evidence, try to listen." said Jefri, then Argana's uncle opened a recording of the conversation Bima and Yasmin in his room.

Then people listened to the sound of the tape.

__

"Yasmin."call Bima, the girl turned her head and approached."Sir, how is this.I'm so scared." Yasmin said in a panic

"You why Yasmin? What scares you?"ask Bima streak

"I'm afraid, if bang Arga or his family knows.If the mastermind of his dead parents bang Arga.I'm afraid if he finds out, and cancel our marriage.And I'm also afraid if his family knows, and,they will definitely not stay silent." Yasmin said with a terrified expression

"You don't have to worry about Yasmin, no one knows if I'm the real culprit.You just focus on your marriage." Bima said casually

"But sir…..?"yasmin said to a halt, for his father quickly cut off his words."No need to worry, just focus and calm yourself.In the meantime you will marry Yasmin, so just enjoy your life." said Bima

After the recording ended, everyone stared at Bima and her family of emotions.They were not out of thought and did not understand.What is the motive of Bima doing it all? Though as they recall, Fandi and his wife were very good to him.All the residents who were native to the village banyan and had been involved in the incident regret.

Their regrets are inexcusable, and some of their families have also died because of the vengeance of the spirit of Arum.

"You're rude Bima, because you instigated us and burned Fandi and his wife.We must lose our family and always be sad.And you can-can-can live in peace.While we never live quietly."said a resident whose son and son-in-law died in Arum's revenge.

"I swear, I will kill you Bima." said Salah other residents are not less furious

Seeing the emotions of the citizens who began to get out of control, the five families panicked.Bima loudly said Bima."Hey villagers banyan, how could you believe their words and the tape.It could be just an edit.And about what Aziz said earlier, he just envied me."Bima said in self-defense

"Capture Bima, he must be immediately adjudicated and must be punished using customary law" said the village elder to rule on the residents

Some of the citizens of large stature approached Bima.Then they pulled Bima and brought her out of the house.When her family panicked to see Bima taken by the residents.

Argana and her family stared nanar towards Bima who was dragged by the citizens.Yasmin panicked to see his father brought like that.Then he approached Argana and he knelt before the young man.

"Bang Arga, I beg you to release my father.Excuse him, let me bear the punishment for his actions.You can do anything against me.But, please release my father." Yasmin said begging

Everyone was shocked by what Yasmin was doing, including Argana herself.However, she quickly held both sides of Yasmin's shoulder and invited her to stand up.

"Get up, I'm sorry Yasmin.I can't forgive your father's actions, it's too painful for me and my family.And I'm also disappointed in you, why didn't you be honest from the beginning.If you're honest with me, you're honest with me, maybe I can still think about our relationship.But, now I'm very disappointed.And I will break our relationship.And our marriage is canceled." said Argana at length

Then he went back on with his words."I will report the actions of your father and the villagers involved in the events of the night." said Argana firmly.All residents listened to the words of the young man.After that, Argana left Yasmin who continued to cry.

Yasmin could say nothing more, she could only cry as she pleased.His father would be customarily legalized by the citizens.His marriage was void, and his entire family should bear the shame.

It felt that Yasmin's body was very tired, she seemed to be no longer able to stand upright.She was shed in the arms of her sister.She could only be silent when Argana and her family left her.

Crushed already. Everything is broken and there is nothing left.
