Widow Kepentok Duda

Men from the past

That morning Grisel met a man, looking at the man sitting before him with a small smile on his face.

“How?” grisel asked when he saw the man had just sent a message.

“Beres,” replied the man. “Remember! You don't betray me, or I'll make your life unsettled,” the man warned.

“Just relax,” reply Grisel with a smile full of satisfaction on the face. “The enemy of my enemy is a friend, don't you think? Yes, that's why I'm looking for you, won't you also benefit more from working with me?”

The man laughed at Grisel's words, only not expecting that such a famous model as the woman turned out to have a grudge and a very devious mind.

“I believe in you. After this leave everything to me, as long as you give what you promised,” said the man.

Grisel smirked, then reached into the bag and took out a brown envelope then placed it onto the table. He pushed the thick brown envelope with his index finger toward the man before him.

“Dp, if all is in order, I will pay the rest.”

The man took the brown envelope Grisel gave him, then glanced at the contents and saw a pile of money there.

“Consider everything is in order.”

“What's up? Why do you look panicked?” ask Gilang who went straight to Sandra, as soon as he got a call from the woman.

“Pak, do you think this is just a prankster job?” sandra asked back while giving her cell phone, where there was a message she got this morning.

Gilang furrowed his eyebrows, not usually Sandra panicked like this. He took the woman's phone and read the message he received.

[You can live happily, amazingly. Your husband has made me suffer, now you have to get my reward.]

Gilang felt strange about the contents of the message, then pulled out the phone and immediately contacted someone.

Sandra waited anxiously for Gilang's response, honestly fearing that the threat was not a person's pity, and would involve her daughter.

“Halo, is the man still in jail?” ask Gilang when his call to someone is connected.

“She came out about one week ago,” replied someone Gilang contacted from across the call.

Gilang looked at Sandra, before then ending the call.

“It looks like he's the same person,” Gilang said.

Sandra instantly silenced her mouth at Gilang's reply.

“But, where does he know the information about you?” Gilang wondered to himself.

No one knows who Sandra's husband is. Even Gilang tries to keep data about Sandra's past shut down so that no one knows, everyone only knows if Sandra is the widow of one child.

“I don't know either,” Sandra said with an anxious face.

Gilang just realized with the little girl, it could be that the threat will be directed to Chila who does not know anything.

“Where is Chila? She's at school?” ask Gilang.

Sandra nodded, confused as to how because information about her past had been known by the man who had a grudge with her late husband.

Sandra goes with Gilang to Chila's school, worried that the person who calls Sandra will come or monitor Chila at the school.

“Sorry, if you have to pick up Chila early,” Sandra said to Chila's teacher.

“It's okay. Hopefully whatever the problem can be resolved soon and Chila can go back to school again,” reply teacher Chila who heard the reason Sandra took Chila and ask permission leave for a few days.

Gilang and Sandra decide to leave Chila from school, but still give the tutor home so that the little girl still gets her lessons.

Sandra looked at Chila who was confused because she was picked up early, then took her daughter's hand to be invited away.

“Why Chila is not in school?” chila asked as she walked out of the school building.

“Because Chila will be studying at home for a while,” Sandra replied while commenting on a small smile.

“But Chila likes it at school,” said Chila felt heavy if asked not to come to school.

Crazy who heard Chila's words stopped stepping, then crouched in front of the little girl and smiled warmly while rubbing Chila's arm.

“Chila, you can go back to school. But for now, Chila's at Mama Liana's house first, yeah. Nemenin Mama Liana while studying there, pity Mama Liana alone, Chila want ‘kan accompany her?” Gilang tried to give a reasonable reason so that Chila was not confused about the conditions being faced.

Chila looked at Gilang, then turned to look at her mother.

“Chila will stay at Mama Liana's place?” ask Chila.

“Ya dear,” Reply Gilang.

Sandra just kept quiet, entrusting everything to the man who had been protecting her for so many years.

“How about Om Farzan meet Chila?” The question was thrown from Chila's tiny lips, the eyes of Sandra who stood before him.

Sandra excited to hear Chila mention Farzan's name, confused to explain if Gilang asked because Sandra had never discussed Farzan to Gilang, afraid if the middle-aged man was thinking negatively about Farzan.

Gilang was surprised to hear Chila mention an unfamiliar name, to look at Sandra as if asking for an explanation from the woman.

“Let's Mama say she's where Chila is, so if you want to meet later you can come there,” said Sandra so that Chila felt calm and no longer anxious if she could not meet Farzan.

Chila nodded, finally silent no longer asked. Gilang still looked at Sandra, wanting her to explain everything to him, including anyone close to Sandra.
