The Terror of the Rapist

Melani Resistance

Suddenly the connection is turned off. Melani gasps.

“Halo.. halooo...?!” shout Melani.

But free. Looks like the intruder wants to play with his feelings. Melani's hand holding the phone's handle drooped. Melani vented her frustration by shouting while holding her head.

“Tidaakkk..!”

Suddenly his mother came home from the shop. The woman was shocked to hear her daughter's scream outside, so she rushed in. And he saw Melani sitting on the floor near the phone table.

“What's up, Melani? Why you?”

Melani just cried and hugged her mother. Miss Marni tries to calm her daughter down. He seemed to know, the perpetrator had terrorized Melani.

“Already, already, darling. There's nothing to be afraid of. Let's go to the room,” said Ms Marni then guided Melani back into the room.

Melani sits on the edge of the bed. Miss Marni got me a glass of water. Melani drinks it a mouthful. After feeling quite calm, Miss Marni then asked her.

“Did that person terrorize you again?”

Melani just nodded. Miss Marni sighed with a sad face.

“What does it say?”

“He threatened to go after Nina if I did not want to fulfill his desire to marry her.” Melani replied.

“What?!” Miss Marni was surprised not to play. “Crazy! That guy's totally crazy. Yes, God, why is there such an evil man.”

Ms. Marni could not help but feel her annoyance and anger. “We'd better report it to the police, Mel. We ask for help to keep Nina,” said Miss Marni so worried.

“Police are already investigating the case, ma'am. They've also put intel in place to keep an eye on our house. They can't possibly keep Nina twenty-four hours,” Melani said.

“So what should we do to keep Nina?”

“We tell Nina to be more careful. Don't let him go alone. We ask Doni to escort him.”

“But Doni is still a kid. Let me ask Bang Ipang later, to take Nina to school or anywhere.”

“Ya, good to do, Bu.”

“And for you, is it no good if you do not enter the office first.”

“No, Mom. I can't stay home. I'm strong enough, Mom. Precisely if I was only at home, that person would consider me weak and would continue to terrorize me.”

“But I'm worried if he attacks you later on the road. Or when you're alone.”

“I've prepared mrica spray and stun device in the bag, Mom. I've been taught by the police how to fight criminals who intend to rape. I am ready to fight him if at any time appears.” explained Melani.

“But, mel...?” Miss Marni is still worried.

“Mother just relax. We can't just stand still with this. We have to fight!” firmly Melani.

Miss Marni sighed. Trying to believe his daughter's decision.

　

　

Melani then tells her sister to be careful and will be escorted by Ipang. The motorcycle taxi driver who used to hang out at the gathering was already found by Melani and told to take control of Nina. Later Melani will give him a wage every week. Ipang agrees. While Nina herself became frightened when told there was a threat against her. Nina doesn't even want to go to school. Melani.

“You should stay in school, Nin. Sister does not want you to miss the lesson later,” said Melani.

“But I'm scared, Brother,” Nina sulks.

“Do not be afraid. There's a bang Ipang that will escort you. He's a silat jago. Trust me, he'll protect you.”

“But when is this, Brother?”

“If the criminal has been caught.”

“But when is it, Brother?”

Melani was momentarily silent. He himself did not know when the criminal would be caught. Because it's police authority. Given so long the police investigated this case sometimes appear pessimistic. But Melani tries to believe that sooner or later, the criminal will be caught.

“Trust me, the police will definitely catch him soon,” Melani said.

“If not caught immediately, how?”

“Then, brother himself will finish him!” firmly Melani.

After being persuaded and convinced, Nina finally wants to go to school. Ipang himself convinces Nina and Melani to take care of Nina. Melani's heart was a little relieved. At least one problem has been solved.

Melani herself does not want to be haunted by anxiety and fear anymore. Fear and anxiety weakens his soul. Melani does not want to keep herself locked up at home. The criminal must have been watching and monitoring him from a distance. She seemed to know when Melani was alone or at home, so she was so easy to launch attacks and intimidation. He was nothing like a cat chasing a mouse. The rat will continue to be oppressed and torn apart if it does not dare to fight.

Therefore Melani needs to come out to show that she is not afraid. The mentality is not as small as a mouse. Melani decided to go back to the office. He wants to keep working as usual. He does not want to be pitied and overcome with prolonged sadness. His colleagues were shocked and worried. But Melani assures them that she is okay.  They were even amazed and sympathetic to Melani's stubbornness. They also gave Melani support.

The events that befall Melani actually foster solidarity and further strengthen togetherness in the office. All employees now care for each other and look after each other. Security officers who usually just carry out the task of guarding their respective posts are now more active in controlling every corner to ensure the safety of employees. If there are employees overtime until night, one of the security officers volunteered to stand guard near the office of employees who were overtime.

Likewise, the security officer gave extra guard to Melani. Almost every few minutes they took turns to visit Melani's room just to make sure she was okay. Melani is actually a bit unpleasant as well, but she can appreciate their concern and care. Instead, grow a sense of security and make all employees enjoy working. In addition, now employees in the office are also not reluctant to report to the security post if there are foreigners and suspicious entering the office. The way they would take a picture of that person then send it to the employee whatsapp group.

If none of the staff and employees recognize it, then action can be taken immediately. Security will arrest the man and interrogate him. This early warning security method can cause funny and ridiculous events. One day, a man slipped into the office with flowers. Because no one knows him and does not carry an ID card, just be summarized and interrogated. The man admitted to making a surprise to his girlfriend who he knew through social media.

Apparently the guy got the wrong address. His acquaintance's girl doesn't work in this office, but in the next office building. He was released after a girl he knew was called and came to free him. This incident also became the joke of the employees. They laugh amusedly. Melani just smiled wryly. He also wished the sneaker was the rapist. But it wasn't. And Melani just realized some days this rapist never terrorized her again, either in person or over the phone.

But that afternoon when the office hours were over and about to go home, Melani was shocked to intercept Deni in front of the gate. His appearance looks dirty and somber. Melani, who has no respect for Deni because she has hurt her heart and Diah's heart, tries to avoid it.

“Melani, I want to have an important talk with you,” Deni said.

“I know, who you really are. So please stay away from me and Diah!” firmly Melani while stepping away.

“I know who raped you!” deni said made Melani stop her steps.

Melani turned around and looked at Deni sharply. His face was filled with tension and curiosity.
