VINDICTA (REVENGE )

Reconnaissance

   Mike furiously turned around and left in front of Linda who was smiling cynically at him.

Cuek Linda turned around and stepped back into her office building.

Mike got into his car parked in the front yard of an office building.

His face was full of anger, the hatred for Linda was evident from the sharp look in his eyes.

Mike turned on his car engine, put his hand on the steering wheel.

Then, the car runs at high speed, leaving Linda's office building.

Linda stepped inside her study, she threw her body in her chair.

Then he picks up the phone on the desk, he calls Gavlin.

"Where are you Vlin ?" Linda asked Gavlin on her phone.

"At home." Gavlin answered briefly from across the phone.

"We met at cafe Seruni yuk, I bete." Linda said on the phone.

"I can't right now." Gavlin said across the phone.

"Where if ntar afternoon, we meet maghrib, will ya? Please..." Linda called in her powerful voice to Gavlin.

"Okay." Gavlin answered briefly from across the phone.

"Thank ya, see you, on Gavlin." Linda said, she hung up her phone, put down her phone and smiled happily. 

   Gavlin placed the phone on a large table inside the spacious building.

There were 2 cell phones lying on the table. 1 cell phone was used when Gavlin disguised himself as Yanto.

Gavlin then looked at the Bramantio-ordered wax sculpture he was almost done with. 20 Percent more and finishing. 

Gavlin who is also known by the name of Yanto as an artist who makes wax statues look seriously at the wax statue of his work. 

"It's over soon, and I can clearly see all of her activities." His word.

His eyes stared intently at the wax statue of Goddess Hera.

   That afternoon, ahead of Maghrib, Linda was seen driving her car on the highway.

Linda doesn't know if right now, she's being followed from behind.

A car drove behind him, not far from his car.

In the car that follows Linda, Zulfan is seen driving, he is a member of Samsul, a notorious gang of sadistic thugs.

Zulfan was tasked by Samsul to follow, spy and watch Linda.

Linda's car continues to drive down the highway, she looks fun listening to a song from the tape in her car.

Linda's face looks happy, she doesn't realize that right now, she's being followed.

Linda's car arrived in front of the cafe Seruni, the cafe that was a subscription for her and Maya.

At this cafe he will also meet with Mike, as they have promised before.

Linda got out of her car parked in the front yard of the cafe.

Linda stepped casually with a happy smile towards the cafe.

Zulfan parked his car not far from Linda's.

Then Zulfan got out of the car, he stood in the corner outside the cafe, staring into the cafe.

Zulfan peeked at Linda from her hiding place. He immediately took the phone out of his pants pocket.

Zulfan pointed his phone in the direction where Linda was at the moment, capturing everything he saw.

Inside the cafe, Linda stepped closer to a table, on the chair there was already Gavlin sitting casually waiting for her arrival, Linda approached Gavlin and greeted him.

"Hi Vlin." Greet Linda gently and kindly.

Gavlin smiled at him, Gavlin stood up and pulled out a chair to let Linda sit down.

When Linda kissed Gavlin on the cheek, Gavlin was a little surprised by Linda's attitude.

Linda smilingly looked at Gavlin's face, then sat down in the chair that Gavlin had prepared.

After Linda sat down, Gavlin sat in her chair. Zulfan who was stalking Linda managed to take a picture when Linda peeked at Gavlin's cheek.

"Thank you Vlin." Linda.

Linda smiled gently looking at Gavlin's face, there was a longing in Linda's heart at Gavlin who was smiling looking at her.

"Thank you for what?" Ask Gavlin kindly.

"For your courage to stand in the way of Bramantio hitting me." Linda said, Gavlin smiled.

"I'm sorry, because you defended me, you're fired." Linda looked at Gavlin's face with her guilty look, she held Gavlin's hand.

"No matter what, I really want to stop working, already tired of Bramantio's arrogant attitude, always angry with me." Gavlin.

"It just so happened that it happened, yeah, it's time for me to stop." Gavlin smiled.

"Yes, but you keep no job ?" Ask Linda.

"Nyantai aja, ntar also get other work. That's normal, don't think about it." Gavlin smiled.

Zulfan continues to capture the moment of Linda and Gavlin's meeting.

"Yes but I feel wrong to make you unemployed." Linda.

"It's not your fault, why are you so guilty of yourself? I'm fine Lin, I'm glad I'm not Bram's driver anymore." Gavlin.

Gavlin looked at Linda's guilty face, Gavlin smiled at Linda.

"You work in my office, how's Vlin ? Let's get close and see each other every day, will we?" Linda offered Gavlin a job.

"Thank you Lin, but I'm more comfortable working with other people." Gavlin told Linda.

"But..." Linda said, she did not continue to speak because Gavlin cut her words.

"Nothing but but, I'm not the one to be pitied by Lin, I can do my own business, I can find another job without your help and pity." Gavlin.

"I'm sorry, I just want to help you." Linda said she felt wrong about Gavlin.

"Hey...Lin...you why be a baper? I'm not mad at you, thanks for your concern, but sorry, I can't accept your offer." Gavlin.

Gavlin looked at Linda's face with her smile, Linda finally withered as soon as she saw Gavlin's dashing smile.

Gavlin's smile and gentle gaze as well as her attitude-friendliness made Linda fall in love and crazy for Gavlin.

Linda kept looking at Gavlin's smiling face.

"Hold hold..hold Vlin.don't move, you stay still." Linda tells Gavlin to move her body. 

"Why?" Ask Gavlin wonder.

"Smile again Vlin, let's smile, let me look at your face and smile for a few more minutes, I want to look at you." Linda.

Linda is spoiled for Gavlin who laughs at Linda's words to her.

"There's only you Lin, it's not good for many people." Gavlin said while glancing at the visitors who are in the cafe. 

"I don't care about them Vlin." Linda said indifferently and kept looking at Gavlin's face.

"I'm hungry, you want to order food, you want to eat?" Gavlin told Linda.

Gavlin stood up from her seat, deliberately avoiding that Linda would not continue to look at her face, Linda was disappointed.

"Well, what do you eat, I eat later." Said Linda pouting.

Gavlin smiled at Linda who was pouting, then walked away leaving Linda sitting in her chair.

Linda glanced at Gavlin, she was smiling happily, there was such a great sense of happiness that Linda was in the heart of this moment from meeting and being able to see Gavlin again.

Meanwhile, outside the cafe, Zulfan who was lurking and capturing the moment of meeting Linda and Gavlin immediately rushed to the street and got into his car.

Zulfan sent the images and videos recorded on his phone to a phone number on his phone.

After he finished sending the photos and videos, he put his phone in his pocket.

Zulfan then started the car engine to then run his car away from the cafe Seruni.

At his desk, Mike receives a message that Zulfan sends him, he immediately opens the mailbox on his phone.

Mike looked and observed the photos Zulfan sent, he saw one photo at a time.

Mike sees a picture of Linda kissing Gavlin, holding hands, and a photo of Linda and Gavlin together.

Mike looks reddened with jealousy, he then opens a video file that Zulfan also sent to his phone.

Mike then sees a video scene showing the intimacy between Gavlin and Linda.

The video had no sound, as Zulfan took it from outside the cafe and it was far away from Linda.

Mike could not clearly hear what Linda and Gavlin were talking about in the video he was watching on his phone.

"So your girlfriend Gavlin ? Just a driver? Your taste is low Linda, she's not at my level." Mike.

Mike laughs sarcastically at Gavlin who turns out to be Linda's boyfriend.

"I want to know how you behave with Gavlin, if he becomes unemployed later." Mike.

His face looked furious, he had no idea that Gavlin had been fired by his papa.

Mike plans to fire and make Gavlin unemployed.

Thinking Mike, that way, he thought Linda would definitely turn around and draw back to him, Mike thought, he grinned with a sly smile.

   Linda and Gavlin were outside the Seruni cafe, and Gavlin drove Linda to her car parked in the front yard.

Meanwhile, Zulfan's car is no longer in the cafe's parking lot, Zulfan has already left Linda and Gavlin.

"I'll take you home, Vlin, please..." Linda said to Gavlin who stood still thinking.

"Come dong Vlin, will I take you, I want to know your house, when I don't know my girlfriend's house?" Linda looked spoiled and smiled at Gavlin.

"I'm not ready to welcome you into my house." Gavlin smiled softly at Linda.

"Why is it ?" Ask Linda.

"My house is a mess, I haven't had time to tidy up, you will be shocked and become uncomfortable in the house." Gavlin said, Linda smiled.

"Kirain what the fuck, just calm down, I'm fine, I'll help you settle your house." Linda smiled at Gavlin.

Gavlin stood still, thinking, deep down he didn't want Linda to go into his house, because there was something in his house.

If Linda saw everything, Linda would have fallen unconscious from her shock.

For this reason, Gavlin thought of finding an excuse so that Linda would not force her to allow Linda to play at her house at this time.

"Kok silent Vlin, come on, yes, I promise you, don't moan in your house." Linda.

Linda stared fixedly at Gavlin's face, her eyes begging for spoiled for Gavlin to allow her to come to Gavlin's house.

Gavlin finally sighed, she then looked at Linda's face.

"All right, but for now, I'm sorry, we'll talk later on the outside, on the porch." Said Gavlin smilingly looking at Linda who quickly nodded.

"Every boss ! I don't care if we talk about where, just be with you, and I know your house." Linda.

His face smiled happily because Gavlin finally gave her permission to know Gavlin's house.

Linda pulls Gavlin's hand into the car, and Gavlin follows her.

They get in the car, Linda starts the engine.

Linda glanced and smiled at Gavlin who was sitting in the front seat, next to her who was driving the car.

Linda then runs her car, they go from the location of Cafe Seruni to Gavlin's house.

   Arriving at Gavlin's house, Linda stops her car, and they both get out of the car.

Gavlin invites Linda to enter his yard, Linda observes the two-story Gavlin house.

A beautiful house with a small courtyard and also a small terrace in front of his house.

Linda's car is parked in front of the house, on the edge of the road in front of Gavlin's house.

"Sit down Lin, I'm in for a second." Gavlin.

Linda nodded and sat down on the chair on the front porch of the Gavlin house.

Linda looked around the house, while Gavlin opened the door and quickly entered the house and closed the door.

Inside her house, Gavlin quickly locked the door, so that Linda could not quietly open the door and enter her house.

In her chair, Linda turned to the window of the house, trying to look inside Gavlin's house.

Linda peeked out of the window of the house, her eyes unable to see clearly into the house as it was blocked by the window curtain of the Gavlin house.

Linda finally moved, looking for a gap in order to be able to more clearly peek inside Gavlin's house.

From the corner of the window next to Gavlin's house, Linda tried to peek inside the house.

With a faint faint, as her eyes were blocked by the window curtain cloth inside the house she looked inside the house.

Linda looked like the figure of an old man sitting on a chair.

Linda was shocked, she tried to reaffirm her view.

But his eyes could not see clearly, whether he saw the figure of an old man or something else, Linda was silent for a moment and thought.

"my father, is that Gavlin's parents ?" Linda muttered thinking.

Linda then peeked back from the window slit, but she still could not see clearly, only faint and not intact what she saw.

Gavlin came out of his house, closed the door.

Gavlin was astonished that Linda was not on the front porch of his house, and Gavlin placed a bottle of drinks and a jar of snacks on the table.

Looking for her, Gavlin walks to her front yard, looking for Linda in her car.

But Linda wasn't in her car parked in front of her house.

Gavlin turned around and stepped onto the front porch of her house, she saw the small bag that Linda was carrying was on the chair where Linda was sitting.

Gavlin was silent for a moment and thought, then walked to the side of his house.

Linda, who was trying to look inside Gavlin's house, was unaware of Gavlin's arrival.

Linda looked engrossed in peeking, Gavlin who came to see Linda peeking at the window in wonder.

"Why are you Lin ?" Ask Gavlin.

Gavlin was astonished to see Linda peeking at the window, and Gavlin's face was anxious.

Linda, who heard Gavlin's voice, was shocked to discover Gavlin's arrival.

Linda quickly stood up and looked at Gavlin who was already standing before her.

"Ah, I just want to see the contents of your house, just curious, prank Vlin, rather than long wait for you." Linda said to Gavlin who was still staring fixedly at Linda's face.

"What do you see in my house ?" Gavlin asked with a suspicious look.

Gavlin wants to know if Linda saw anything in her house.

"Ah, no, I don't see anything." Linda looked at Gavlin with a serious face reassuring Gavlin who kept looking at her.

"You shouldn't peek at Lin, it's not polite." Gavlin stared at Linda's face.

"I'm sorry, I was wrong." Linda said showing her guilty look on Gavlin.

"You sure you don't see what's in my house?" Ask Gavlin again.

Gavlin wants to make sure Linda doesn't see anything.

Linda shook her head, Gavlin finally turned around, she walked away from Linda who immediately followed her.

Gavlin then sat on the chair on the front porch of his house, he poured water into the glass he was carrying.

Then he put the bottle back on the table, Gavlin opened the lid of the jar containing snacks on the table with the water to drink.

Gavlin handed Linda a glass filled with drinking water that sat back in her chair.

Linda placed a small bag over her thigh, a small bag lying on the chair as she peeked earlier.

Linda drank the water Gavlin had prepared for her, then placed the empty glass back on the table.

"Sorry Vlin, I was, just..." Linda stared at Gavlin's face, hesitating and afraid that Gavlin was angry.

"What's Lin ?" Ask Gavlin wonder.

Gavlin looked at Linda with a suspicious look, something she was trying to hide and Linda told him.

Gavlin knew from Linda's attitude.

Linda sighed, then looked at Gavlin's face.

"Only, I was faint as if there was a father sitting in your house." Linda.

He tried to be frank with Gavlin, hearing that Gavlin was shocked.

But as Gavlin tries to hide his shock so that Linda does not know his reaction, Gavlin tries to remain calm and relaxed.

"That's just your feeling, you're wrong, the only one in the house is me, nobody." Gavlin.

Gavlin then poured water into another glass, Gavlin then drank.

"Yes yes, I don't know either, maybe also that I saw it you, because it's cryptic anyway, not clear, the window curtain." Linda.

Linda then smiled smirkingly looking at Gavlin who was smiling at her.

Deep in his heart Gavlin was relieved that Linda did not see the truth of the contents inside her house.

Gavlin doesn't want anyone to know the secret inside his house.
