VINDICTA (REVENGE )

Leave a question mark

   Gavlin sped up his pace so that he would not lose the middle-aged man he had seen and passed in front of him earlier.

His face showed curiosity, he wanted to know where the old man was going.

Gavlin kept a distance between himself and the old man walking in front of him so that the middle-aged man would not notice if he followed him silently.

Gavlin saw the middle-aged man stopping in front of a house, opening a small turnstile in front of his house.

Gavlin stood staring, watching the middle-aged man enter the house.

Meanwhile, Maya comes out of her house with a large plastic package filled with garbage, she puts a plastic package into the trash can on the side of the road in front of her house.

Just as Maya was about to turn around, she saw Gavlin standing looking far ahead, Gavlin standing still close to Maya's house.

Maya looked at Gavlin looking, not seeing anything, she saw Gavlin who was seen standing with a thoughtful face.

Maya smiled, she walked over to Gavlin, then patted Gavlin on the shoulder.

"Doooor...!! Ngapain bengong on the side of the road, kesambet loh." Maya laughs to see Gavlin who seems to be daydreaming.

Gavlin was immediately startled when he saw Maya, who was suddenly in front of him.

"Kok you can be here ?" Ask Gavlin wonder.

"Laaah, my house is there, I was out of trash, eeh, look you're dumb here, yes I've approached you." Maya pointed at her house with comfort. Gavlin looked at Maya's face.

" Is that your house ? Not much means from my house, I never know yes, if all this time we've been close." Said Gavlin smilingly looking at Maya who sneered.

"Waaah senile nih child, have you ever been to my house, pas ngobatin your wound at that time, do not remember ?" Maya looked at Gavlin.

"Then anyway ? Looks like the road is different." Gavlin said, he looked around the streets and thought.

"Yes, because at that time I took you by another road, cut the road by the side, anyways the shape of my house is unique, two faces, one front, next to the road there one face more." Maya.

"Well, you came in from the face of the house next door." Maya explained again.

Gavlin was silent, he scratched his head, Gavlin looked puzzled.

"Your house is positioned in the middle of a circular road, right ? That's why there are two faces." Gavlin.

"No, square five to be exact, my father deliberately made the model of his house so, unique right ?" Maya.

"Bikin confused people anyway if you do not know your home." Gavlin smiled.

"Actually the distance between my house is the same as your house is far away, your house is in the east block there, must turn back the way if from my house to your house. The road is blocked ruko ruko ruko, emang is near to stay straight, if there is no shophouse shop shop." Maya.

"Yes, too." Gavlin nodded and smiled.

     A sedan car entered the courtyard of Maya's house whose gate was still wide open, from inside the car out of Gatot who had just returned from his work in the Police.

Gatot who saw Maya standing on the side of the road with a young man so curious as to who his son. Gatot stood in the street in front of her house staring at Maya.

"Well, are you there, May ?" Gatot asked, Maya turned to Gatot.

"This is my friend Dad." Maya tells Gatot, Gavlin was silent to see Gatot's face.

"Chat chat on the side of the road, invite into the house, not good girls chat night2 same guy on the side of the road gini." Gatot then turned his way into his house.

Maya then smiled, she then looked at Gavlin's silent face.

"Did you come by my house, didn't you ?" Maya asks Gavlin.

"May, I'm thirsty." Gavlin smiled.

"Corny." Take Maya and walk away from Gavlin who follows her.

Gavlin observes the unique shape of Maya's house. Following Maya into her home.

   Inside the house, Gavlin was silent standing in the living room, Maya smilingly looking at him.

"Mulaaai again. Sit Vlin. I think the statue stands still." Maya mocked the smiling Gavlin.

Gavlin woke up from his daydream. Maya goes inside the house leaving Gavlin alone in the guest room.

When Gavlin was about to sit on the sofa, he did not sit down because he saw a photo on the buffet in the guest room.

Gavlin then stood up and walked over to the photo on the buffet table.

He looked at the photo of Gatot wearing the Police uniform, Gavlin silently stared at the photo of Gatot.

From inside his room, Gatot stood quietly observing Gavlin who was seen looking at his photo on the buffet table.

Gatot silently watched Gavlin, staring at Gavlin's face. Then Gatot stepped closer to Gavlin who was standing near the buffet table.

"That's a picture of me when I was young, it's cool." Said Gatot trying to melt the atmosphere so that Gavlin is not clumsy and more relaxed in his house.

"Oh, if I take a picture of who, because when I was here, I didn't see this photo, maybe because of the entrance from another door and in another guest room of this house." Gavlin said in a friendly manner.

"Udah was here." Gatot.

"Udah Well, at that time he injured his arm because nolongin I was almost hit by a car, so I brought it home for diobatin." Maya said that came from her home kitchen carrying a bottle of drinking water and glass glasses. 

"Oh so." Gatot replied understandingly.

Maya puts a drink bottle and glass on the living room table, then pours the water into a glass.

"Drink Vlin." Maya tells Gavlin who nods and turns around and sits on the sofa, Gatot follows, she sits on the sofa, next to Maya who has sat first.

"I drink huh ? let's Om." Gavlin.

He asks Maya for permission to drink and Gatot, who nods smilingly, invites him to drink.

Gavlin drank up the water in the glass, he was indeed thirsty at this moment. Maya smiles at Gavlin who slashes the water in a large glass glass.

"Whose name are you ?" Gatot asked Gavlin.

"I'm Gavlin's om." Gavlin nodded and smiled at Gatot.

Gatot watched Gavlin's face with a serious look, Gavlin felt clumsy because it was like being investigated by Gatot who was a Police officer.

Maya glanced at her father who was staring at Gavlin's face, she patted his father's thigh.

"Father what the hell, groggy Gavlin continued. Where is his suspicious look again." Maya laughed at her smiling father.

"Dad was curious, how come his face looked familiar." Said Gatot, Gavlin bowed glancing at Gatot. He's getting more and more uncomfortable.

"Sorry May, Om, I'm saying good to go home first, it's not good to be late." Said Gavlin, trying to go home because he felt uncomfortable being noticed continuously by Gatot.

"Well, if you want to go home now." Maya.

Maya understands, she lets Gavlin go home because she feels clumsy to meet her father.

Gavlin then stood up and said goodbye to Gatot, he saluted Gatot, then stepped out of the house to follow Maya.

At the door of the house, Gavlin looked at Maya who was standing in the middle of the door.

"Thank you for the water, May, relieved." Gavlin held her neck and smiled, Maya nodded.

Gavlin pushes the gate and closes it, Maya gives a code of thanks for Gavlin closing the gate of her house.

Then after Gavlin disappears from her sight, Maya immediately closes the door of her house and steps up to take a bottle of drink and a glass on the table.

Then he walked up to his father who was already in his study, next to the living room of the house.

Maya steps into the kitchen, but her steps are stopped when Gatot asks her.

"That kid, what was his name ?" Ask Maya about Gatot.

"Gavlin Yah." Answer Maya.

"Yes, that Gavlin is your partnership ?" Ask Gatot again wanting to know more about Gavlin from Maya.

"No, he's the personal driver of Mr. Bramantio's family, the great official and businessman, well." Maya explained.

"Oh, private driver, I thought it was your partnership." Gatot.

"Keep, where does he live ?" Ask Gatot again.

"The house is not far from here Well, it is behind the east block road there loh, precisely behind cafe Seruni." Maya tells Gatot.

"Died with his parents what was it himself ?" Gatot asked again, Maya heard her father keep asking about Gavlin.

"What the hell, keep going Gavlin nanyain, really kepo deh." Maya laughs at the smiling Gatot.

"That's not what Dad meant, he's your friend, so I just want to know about him." Gatot.

"Well, shut up you're dating her." Said Gatot looking at Maya, she teased her son, Maya looks blushed embarrassed.

"Diiih What the hell father, no, he's just a friend of Maya. Already ah. I'm kepo." Maya said with a spoiled voice.

Maya leaves Gatot who laughs at her child's groggy demeanor when discussing dating Gavlin.

After Maya goes to the kitchen, Gatot continues her work, she is seen seriously reading a report from Forensics about a mass murder case in Rawas.

Gatot saw a photo of the house of the residents who burned down, he deliberately always brought home the case files to his house, so that he could study calmly.

So that nothing is missed from the results he learned from the case report file while in the office.

Maya approaches Gatot who looks serious, she stands beside Gatot.

Maya takes a photo containing a picture of a charred corpse on fire.

Then he took a photo of the burning people's house, he observed the photo, his face shuddered afraid to see the charred body figure burning in the photo.

"Iiih serem gini picture Well." Maya said put a photo of a charred body figure burning.

"It seems that there are so many cases that my father worked, which is famous for the murder case in Rawas village has not been settled yet, this is already a new case." Maya told Gatot.

"This is a continuation of the previous murder case in the village." Said Gatot cuek did not look at Maya's face, he was busy reading the case report file.

"Due the hell Well ? Serem ah." Maya was shocked.

"The perpetrator relapsed again, not the one or two people he killed, this time all the people of Rawas village were slaughtered, poisoned to death, the houses were burned down, only the remains of kayak debris in the photo." Gatot explained.

Maya shuddered, she thought, so creepy that the perpetrator had done so.

"Dad wants to ask, if you are for example the perpetrator, what is the basis for you to kill and burn the entire house of Rawas villagers?" Gatot asked, he wanted to hear his son's opinion.

Maya silently thinks of getting a question from her father, then looks at his father's face.

"There's no other reason, because of his exact grudge." Maya.

"What is the reason he has a grudge ?" Ask Gatot again to Maya who then thinks back.

"Yes his motive for revenge, maybe he was once hurt by the actions of the villagers of Rawas." Maya tried to give a reason for the motive to kill the perpetrator.

Gatot smiled.

"If as you say, it means that the perpetrators of the original residents of Rawas village used to be, there is something that makes it so hurt and vengeful that it will finish off the people of Rawas village all." Gatot.

"It looks like it is Yah, but have all the residents in Rawas village done something bad to the perpetrator, which makes him reckless to do evil ?" Maya.

"Yes, I don't know yet, I have to answer for his motives, so that he can find out who did it, and what his purpose was to slaughter the people of Rawas' village." Gatot told Maya.

"Hehe, I think I'd rather work for a crime and murder magazine than a business magazine." Maya smiled proudly.

Maya is proud, as her opinion was well received by her father. Gatot smiled looking at Maya's face.

"You want to move to work ? Is it ready for you if every day you have to cover the victims of murder, have to meet dead bodies, interview murderers who could be psychopaths, mentally ill?"

Said Gatot staring fixed Maya's face was silent thinking.

"Serem also the hell well if it should be so work, not ready Maya if ngadepin that is so." Maya said.

"Bad, Daddy's son doesn't dare. If you dare, I ask my friend who works in a crime magazine to get you to work." Gatot told Maya.

"Don't be well, not now, Maya will think first, if Maya is ready, Maya will say." Maya.

"You're a good friend of father's, when will you ask for help, right?" Ask Maya to Gatot.

"Yes. When are you ready to tell me father." Gatot told the smiling Maya.

"Yes, Maya wants to sleep, I don't stay up until morning. Take care of your health." Maya glares at Gatot's smiling face.

"Okay boss, ready ! I'll be asleep soon." Said Gatot smiling salute Maya who replied salute her.

Maya then left Gatot and then continued her work studying the case of mass murder in Rawas village.

Gatot often exchanged thoughts with Maya about the case she was investigating, she never forbade and kept it secret from her son.

Because he knows, his son can give input to him to uncover the case he investigated.

And Maya never discussed her father's case to anyone outside. 

   Meanwhile, in his room, Gavlin looked stunned, he recalled the encounter between himself and the middle-aged man.

In his memory, it flashed back as he passed by a middle-aged man who came out of the field restaurant.

Gavlin's face implied a long-held anger within him.

"I finally got to meet you too, after a long search for your whereabouts, it turns out we were close together all this time." Said Gavlin muttering to himself with the glare of his sharp eyes.

Then, it flashed in his memory when he met Gatot at his home.

There was something that appeared in his heart, a strange feeling he felt when he first saw the young photo of Gatot on the buffet table of his house.

Then, there was a vibration that he felt strange hanging when he met and met face to face with Gatot. Gavlin thought hard.

"It's like knowing Maya's father, but I don't know where and when." Gavlin returned, talking to himself.

Gavlin sighed, then laid his body on the mattress, staring at the sky of the room.

Gavlin thought, then over time his eyes closed, he fell asleep because of his fatigue.
