SAD CRY

Tristan sat with his left foot on his right. He looked straight at Haruna with an eye signal, Tristan asked Haruna's answer to Tristan's offer this afternoon.

Haruna just looked away, she felt angry, disgusted, and sick of seeing Tristan's face.

"Sir, please give us time to pay our debts to you," Kamal pleaded. Haruna's father wished Tristan had given them a little more time.

"I can give your family time, but… I'm a businessman. I won't do anything unprofitable. What can be the guarantee that you will pay your debts according to the agreement?"

"We will pawn our house and our shop documents. As long as we are allowed to sell there." Kamal tries to negotiate with Tristan.

"Tch! Your house and shop are not a quarter of what you owe me. There are two choices for you and your family. First, you leave your house and shop for me, then leave this house. That's only a quarter of what you pay, and you must pay it off in time a month. The second option, you can pay at any time with a time limit that I don't limit, as long as ...." 

"As long as what, sir?" asked Kamal. The middle-aged man seemed to have hope for Tristan's second offer. However, it was as if Kamal had been invited to fly to the seventh heaven and was dropped when he heard Tristan's words.

"You can make your daughter as collateral. Just pawn one of your daughters to me, I will release them when you have paid off your debt," said Tristan. With a gaze directed at Haruna who still hasn't made a sound since Tristan came.

"No! You'd better kill me. I won't do that," said Kamal firmly.

"No problem. That means your choice is the first choice. Please leave without taking anything from here, right now!" Tristan snapped.

"Can you keep your promise?" Haruna asked with his fists tightly clenched at his sides.

"Harun!" said Anggi and Kamal at the same time.

"Don't, son!" said Anggi holding Haruna's hand who was walking towards Tristan.

Haruna stood three steps in front of Tristan. A triumphant smile appeared on the corners of Tristan's lips. Tristan is sure that Haruna will not let his family suffer. There's no way if Haruna pushes his sister to be the collateral, Tristan is sure that his prediction won't go wrong. Haruna stepped forward and offered herself. 

"No! Papa doesn't allow any of Papa's children to sacrifice. Sir, if you want one of us to be your bail, so be it."

"Unfortunately, I prefer your two daughters. Choose one of them!"

"No need. I told you, I'm willing to be your bail. As long as you let my family go."

"Sure, I keep my word. From tonight onwards until your father can pay off his debt, you… will be a servant in my house." Tristan stood up and stepped closer to Haruna. "The offer to go up to my bed also remains valid forever. If you want to be free and not be a guarantee for your father's debt," whispered Tristan.

Haruna clenched her palms together with mounting emotions. However, Haruna couldn't answer Tristan's words. Kamal grabbed Haruna's hand, but Haruna gently pushed it away. Both Kamal, Anggi and Vivi, did not agree to Tristan's terms at all. Even though Tristan said that Haruna would be a servant in his house, Kamal doubted it. How could it be if Tristan only made Haruna a servant? Kamal was worried that the maid intended to serve Tristan on the bed. 

"No need! I'd rather be a servant than let my body be touched by a jerk like you," Haruna said in a suppressed voice. Don't want his words to be heard by Kamal.

Not only Kamal who had such thoughts, but Anggi was also in a panic. How could they let Haruna go with Tristan? Haruna and Vivi are their treasures. However, Haruna had already decided to follow Tristan. Haruna went to her room to tidy up her work uniform. When Haruna entered the room, Kiara was already asleep. Because bored finally sleepy. Haruna covered Kiara's tiny body and then kissed her forehead. Haruna put several sets of clothes into the suitcase.

Haruna stepped into the living room with a big red suitcase in her hand.

"Bring the suitcase!" said Tristan to his men.

"Master, I beg you, don't take Haruna." Kamal knelt holding Tristan's feet.

"What are you guys doing?! Get him away from me!" Tristan gave orders to his men.

The thugs arrested Anggi, Kamal, and Vivi who tried to stop Tristan from taking Haruna away. Tristan grabbed Haruna's wrist and led her into the car. Tristan immediately drove at high speed leaving Haruna's house. The girl didn't know where Tristan would take her.

"I told you no, you can't run away from me." Tristan smiled as he drove the car.

"From the start, your goal was not for money, but to oppress me. If I had even that 2 billion, you would find another reason to oppress me." Haruna answered without seeing Tristan's face.

"Smart. I like your cleverness," said Tristan.

***

After Tristan's car drove away, the thugs released Kamal and his family and the thugs followed Tristan with exclamations of laughter. The five thugs brought Haruna's suitcase in the trunk.

Kamal and Vivi immediately restrained Anggi's unconscious body. Anggin fainted when he saw Haruna being taken away. Kamal immediately lifted Anggi's body and laid her on the bed in their room. Vivi went to the living room and took the wind oil from the medicine box. Kamal put some of the oil on Anggi's nose and Anggi woke up. When he woke up, Anggi could only sob in Kamal's arms.

Vivi comes out of Kamal and Anggi's room. Standing in front of the room with tears running down her cheeks. Vivi stepped languidly and sat on the living room sofa. Couldn't do anything when he saw Haruna sacrifice herself as a guarantee. Vivi remembers how much Haruna pampered herself. So far, they have always lived happily and peacefully. I don't know what's wrong with his family to have to experience something like this?

Ikhsan just got home from work. The young man saw the door of Kamal's house which was wide open. Ikhsan was a little surprised because the door of the house was closed at night. In addition to the open door of the house, Ikhsan also heard Anggi's hysterical cry, who kept calling Haruna's name. Ikhsan was sure something was wrong. The young man immediately ran into Kamal's house and saw Vivi lying on the long sofa while sobbing softly. Vivi didn't want her parents to hear her cries or they could both be sadder.

Ikhsan opened his jacket and covered Vivi's bare thighs. Vivi only wears hot pants at home. The girl did not know if Ikhsan would enter the house. Looking pathetic in front of Ikhsan made Vivi feel embarrassed. Vivi's face that was red from crying must have looked very ugly in Ikhsan's eyes, that's what Vivi had in mind.
