Between Love and the Mafia
6. Baratha House

On river

The sound of running water is not too strong. The clear water had mixed with blood. Bela opened her eyes and came to her senses from her instant sleep. He only remembered the loud shock that had knocked him hard out of the car.

He drifted with the river water. Fortunately, there was a big rock that saved his life and he got stuck there. Somehow Bela was carried away by the flow of water, but what he looked at was only a clear puddle around.

"Sir.., sir... Mr. Taryo" His eyes continue to search for Mr. Taryo. Bela immediately got up slowly and looked around on the sidelines of the rocks.

"Pak taryo" The old man was also stuck in the rocks not far from Bela.

Bela immediately ran towards Mr. Taryo and continued to call and hit his face slowly so that Mr. Taryo immediately realized. He fought alone to resuscitate Mr. Harto who was still in a fainting state.

A few minutes later, Mr. Taryo woke up to the sound of Bela's crying who had thought that Mr. Taryo died.

"Back up, don't leave Bela. Hikssss, hikss,, "

"Non, don't cry. I'm still alive" His voice was weak from cold and pain.

"Pak Taryo" Bela immediately hugged him.

He was very happy because Mr. Taryo was alive but his body condition was very weak. Perhaps it was because of his old age and also some wound incisions that made him so weak at the moment.

Bela's hand is busy helping Mr. Taryo to take him to the river bank. He slowly wiped it even though his martial body and Taryo sir were both weak.

"Come sir, get up" Still Bela's cry can't wake Mr. Taryo from his weak body. As it was getting late, he had to sweep it away to find the nearest village.

Little by little he stepped up while addressing Mr. Taryo. The splashing sound of water accompanied the steps of the two of them. Various obstacles that blocked, wood and branches lying on the banks of the river.

There is only a shoe that has been confused to wrap Bela's feet, while the shoes of Taryo maish are in one piece so that they can protect his old feet that are starting to weaken.

"Non" Taryo's voice resuscitated Bela. Mr. Taryo has opened his eyes wide. Bela immediately found a place to break down the driver.

"Sir wait here yes, I will look for water" Bela looked for a large foliage and then took water to give to a very weak Taruo sir.

*glek, glek*

When Mr. Taryo drank water, Bela only realized that the wound on the body of Mr. Taryo was quite a lot compared to him. He thought hard to immediately bring Mr. Taryo to find the nearest village.

"Hold my hand, we will find a village to treat the father's wounds" he said, lifting the old man's body slowly. He is also weak, but if you see Mr. Taryo is weaker than him.

After resting for a while, the two of them went back down the river to find a stopover place so that the skin-slashing wounds could be treated.

The journey they both took was quite far. His eyes stared at a hut with a dim lighting. I hope he finds help there.

"So look, we've finally found it"

"Metul non" flashed a smile from the lips of the two of them.

His heart was happy to have found a place to stay. Soon he and Mr. Taryo will be fine. The distance is far enough to drain all the energy Bela and Taryo have. His body limped to stagger to approach the hut.

"Sir, sir wake up" Again Taryo was unconscious. They had to walk a little more to get to that place.

"Come bell, you must be strong" His mind called to strengthen the already weakened body system.

The tired legs he was strengthening again. His hand clutched the old man's body again so as not to fall. Even though his eyes had been slit, his head was dizzy he kept stepping and almost arrived.

All the remaining calm he used to quickly reach the hut stop there to seek help. No matter how weak he is, what matters can last up to that hut.

"Help, please" Bela opened the door screaming for help. His eyes widened when he saw a nice and luxurious room.

Though from the outside it looks like a hut but after seeing the contents inside clearly emblazoned building made of marble and looks a lot of weapons there.

"Is this an armory? " She's wailing.

*brak*

Bela closed her eyes because she was no longer strong. The blood flowing in Bela's body made her lose consciousness as it kept coming out from the incisions of the wounds on her hands, feet and head that she was unaware of.

Bela and Mr. Taryo were just lying inside the house. Surprisingly the door was not locked even though many weapons were neatly arranged in there.

"Master, mister of the department" Someone shouted and approached a man who was relaxing in a hidden room.

One of his guards looked shocked and full of fear as he saw the two people lying on their headquarters unknowingly.

The tall and handsome man immediately got out of bed and approached them. They call it Mr. Alex. He's one of the confidants assigned to guard the headquarters of this illegal weapon.

"What is this, why are they here"

"Sorry sir, I was urinating so I don't know if they broke into this hut" explained one of the guards.

*buk*

"Stupid. Why did it get away" he said with an annoyed face. One hard punch landed on the guard's cheek.

"Now check on them, if there's any suspicious stuff" One of the guards checked, not long after the other guards came and checked in.

"There's no stuff sir, they're just injured and we didn't find anything suspicious" he said.

"Well, bring it down and call Dr. Hans to come here in the morning"

"Good sir"

The two subordinates brought bela and pak taryo to the underground room. Although the room is located below, the facilities are not playing games. A luxurious room like a 5 star hotel.

All eyes will see the beauty in it. Buildings specially made to fool the enemies. On the outside it looks like a hut, while on the inside it looks like a palace.

In the morning they both fell asleep and were unconscious. Doctor Hans has come so early. He was one of the mainstay doctors for their boss' family.

"Please doc"

"Good sir"

Dr. Hans immediately conducted a thorough examination of Bela and Mr. Taryo in turn. The visible wound is immediately bandaged to try to stop the bleeding.

"There was just this morning, like if Bara knew for sure he would be furious" He ruffled his waist while staring at the wishful thinking outside the hut. The sound of the river water tried to calm Alex's heart but it didn't seem to be able to.

\*critt\* (Car voice)

"What?, who is it? " Alex's eyes widened, his heart was shocked to see the black car coming. It's true he's Bara.

Baratha Yuda junior was one of the first children of lord barathayuda who had died about 3 years ago. So the illegal arms sales business was inherited from his first child, namely coal, whose age has now reached 25 years.

He himself has several branches of illegal weapons in various cities, one of which is in the city where Bela lives. His wealth is beyond limit and infinity. And he's one of the biggest mobsters right now making everybody fall in front of him.

"Bara, why did you come so early? " Alex's face looked very frightened.

"Why did I set out last night to get there in the morning. Besides, I want to check the stuff that's here" he said.

Alex was still silent and his heart was pounding. He was afraid of embers knowing what was in the basement. Because embers do not like to bring strangers in their headquarters.

"Why do you look so scared? What's up, lex?

" It's okay. I was just surprised to see you coming" As usual Bara immediately entered the room.

Bara was still dumbfounded as doctor Hans walked out of the basement. The room that can only be touched by the leader here is one of Alex.

"For the master of embers" he greeted kindly.

"Doctor Hans, why are you here? "

"Sorry before sir, I was ordered by Mr. Alex to examine those who were injured"

Those who were meant by Mr. Hans were Bela and Mr. Taryo. While Bara is still confused because his troops are counted complete just in case. Who is in the basement.

"Alex" A very loud call scared Alex. He immediately approached Bara.

"Yes Bara, is there anything I can help you with"

"Give the fee to Dr. Hans immediately"

"Alright" Alex's hand stroked his chest in relief.

He thought Bara would scold him, but it was still early and Bara did not know the whereabouts of the two men.

Immediately down to the basement. He saw two people lying weakly between a man and a woman in shabby clothes and some bandages covering the wound. The two were also bound to an infusion hose that flowed a clear white liquid.

"Alexxx" Shouts of very hard embers made Alex run quickly.

"What's Bara"

"Who was he? "

"I don't know him, but they seem to be accident victims. Because of my humanity I helped him" Alex explained

I saw the whole of both victims. There was no sign of a spy from the enemy or any suspicious signs. They only carry the body and the clothes they wear.

"Alex, you're my best friend from the past. I trust you all, but why don't you call me if they're here"

Alex sighed, thinking that Bara would be angry because of his recklessness in getting strangers into his base.

"Actually I want to give them back again, but I don't know where they're from"

"What do you make it back? I'd better take her as a maid and driver at home. Think of it as compensation" His smile kept something.

In Bara's heart he wants to make Bela as his assistant and Mr. Taryo as a driver. He felt they were both indebted so had to pay him to serve at Bara's house without a penny.

"I'll check first, and then you come with me and take them both home" Bara's faraway journey from outside the city. The distance covered takes about 4 hours.

Mr. Taryo and Bela were taken in an ambulance prepared by Alex. And they were both drugged before leaving so as not to know the way when heading to Bara's house.

This is done to keep the secret of his house hidden from the pursuit of the enemy. Only certain people know the Bara house is very grand and luxurious.

"Put him in the upper room and the man in the lower room" she told Alex.

"All right"

Immediately his subordinates carried out the order by bringing Bela to the upper room adjoining Bara's room. While Mr. Taryo is placed in the guest room at the bottom.

"What's up, Bara? Who you brought"

"Let's know, I don't know the woman" said the cold coals.

But in his heart he felt that when he saw learning it was like seeing Denada. Peeling off his painful past when remembering Denada's name.

After a while I saw him, his mind said that the body of bela was almost similar to the body of Denanda who died 2 years ago.

Denada is the younger sister of Bara and has a twin named Mario who is the same age as Bela which is 17 years old. And now Mario still hasn't come from school.

"Can my mom see it?" His curiosity increased when the stranger was being carried by his son.

"He'll be conscious maybe in 30 minutes, but you have to be careful because he's a stranger" he warned not to act too deeply, because Bara still has high vigilance for his family.

"Alright" said his mother.

Mama Klara is the parent of Bara. Her face is beautiful and graceful even though her age has stepped on the head 4. He was always happy to see a woman brought by his son Bara, because he craved a daughter-in-law.

But there is one woman who is hated by aunt Klara, Sisil, one of the former lovers of Bara who left her son and went abroad just reasoned to pursue her career as a model.

That's why I almost lost my smile in my life. And until now he hates a woman, but not with this one woman, Bela. Although he had only first seen it he was amazed despite a glimpse when they brought Bela in.

\*klek\* the door opens slowly. It looks like a young woman who is still sleeping on the bed and is dressed neatly.
