"I'm sorry, I can't take it, Mom. This ring is too precious to give me. Mas'd better keep it again and give it to the figure of a woman who really deserves it," said Arini while pushing the heart-shaped jewelry box again to Hendra.
"No, Arini. Just take it," replied Hendra who then pushed back the jewelry box.
"No, Mas Hendra. I'm sorry, but I would feel very guilty if I received this ring," Arini lowered her head. At that time he really felt sad and uncomfortable because he had rejected Hendra.
Hendra smiled and then put the ring back in his pants pocket. "Well if that's what you want. I won't force you again, Arini. But don't forget to pray for me yes, so that this ring will soon find its owner."
Arini raised her head then returned Hendra's smile. "Yes, I will always pray the best for you, Mas Hendra. And hopefully the ring will find its owner soon" replied Arini.
"thank you. Um, yes, that's it. We'd better go home. Are you coming with me?" Hendra tidied up his slightly messy shirt.
"Yes, of course, Mas. I miss Azkia and Miss Ria so much. Miss Nining too," replied Arini.
"Then, Mari!" bring Hendra.
After paying for the restaurant, they immediately returned to Hendra's residence. Nothing changed from Hendra, even though the man had just gotten such a big disappointment. However, he can still be warm to Arini, just like always. He can still joke and laugh freely with Arini, even though he is actually heartbroken because of the rejection.
Meanwhile somewhere else.
In an unused barn, where several men were sitting around a table. Their faces looked tense as they stared at the several pieces of cards that were stuck in their hands.
On the table, there was a lot of money in the middle. Not to forget, the intoxicating drink as a complement to their game on that day.
Plaque!
A man threw a card on the table with a grin looking one by one at the face of the man playing cards with him. The man's grin seemed to illustrate that the game would soon be won by him. If he looks like a cramp, different from the others. The men looked sullen and as if they were already desperate with their game at that moment.
"Here you go, just give up!" chirp it while reaching for a small glass that contains intoxicating drinks and then downing it until not a drop is left.
"Yes, yeah! Maybe today is your day, Angga! So be proud, "get upset with one of them while throwing his whole card on the table.
Just now Angga finished putting all the money in his jacket pocket, suddenly some police officers came in and raided them in that place.
"Lift your hands and don't move!" tell one of the police officers assigned to head the raid. He pointed a gun at the men and it frightened them.
The men raised their hands up and looked resigned. Including Angga, he also raised his hand and let the police officer secure himself.
"Follow us to the office. We have an arrest warrant for you. Now, walk!" tell the police while pushing Angga's body out of the place. Not only Angga, his friends were also secured by the members of the police because of their gambling games.
When it was outside the warehouse, Angga began to fidget. In his mind at that moment was only one. How can he escape from the police.
"I have to get out of here, no matter how!" murmured Angga in the heart.
Angga glanced left and right through the corners of his eyes. Trying to find a safe point where he can escape and run from their clutches. Until finally Angga felt that he already had a gap to escape. While the police were busy putting his friends in the car, Angga ran quickly and left the place.
"Hey, don't run! Or you we shoot!" shouted Mr. Police.
However, because Angga did not post a warning from the Police, finally a hot lead glided quickly and hit the calf Angga.
The dorrr!
"Akhich!" squealed Angga, along with his fall to the ground while grimacing in pain.
"Agod! Forgive me!" lirih Angga with a curled position hugging his calf which was pierced by a hot lead. Fresh blood continued to pour from the gunshot wound on his leg.
"Eat it don't be so stubborn!" upset one of the police officers while helping him get up then tried to stop the bleeding in Angga's leg.
