THREAT

Vivi and Kia finally arrive at the Berkah Bank, where Haruna works. Vivi led Kia to the teller desk. Haruna smiled seeing Kiara coming with Vivi. Sari was a little surprised to see Kiara calling Haruna Mama.

"Mama!" call Kia.

Haruna came out from behind the teller's desk and sat with Kia and Vivi in chairs that are usually used for customers to wait in line.

'Mama? Since when did Haruna have children? I didn't hear he got married?'

These questions swirled in Sari's mind. He is Haruna's close friend. How could Haruna not invite him if Haruna was already married?

Inside his office, Tristan was also curious about the little boy. He told Levi to come down and find out who the little girl was. Levi obeyed Tristan's orders without waiting long.

Levi stood near the entrance and chatted with the security guard guarding the door. Levi's main goal, of course, is to be able to hear Haruna's conversation. The man opened his ears wide.

"Mom, when are you coming home from work? I'm waiting for you."

"Sorry, Sis, Vie brought Kia here. Kia didn't want to have lunch, so Vie promised to meet Brother so that Kia would eat," said Vivi.

"It's okay, Vie. Kia, dear, Mama will be home soon. Now Kia has to go home with Aunt Vie and wait for Mama at home. Mama will bring pizza for Kia when Mama comes home." 

Haruna didn't like seeing people's views on her and Kia. Haruna didn't mind if they just looked down on her. But he didn't want them to look down on Kiara either. Fortunately, Kiara always obeys Haruna's orders. Kiara went home with Vivi.

"Haruna, when did you get married? How come you have such a big child? Why didn't you invite me when you got married?"

"Sar, your question can't be said one by one? After all ... I'm not married. I mean not yet, not married," Haruna stammered.

Levi returned to Tristan's office to report what he had heard.

"How? Then, who is that little girl?"

Haruna also tells Sari who Kiara is. He asks Sari to shut up and hide this from others.

"Young master, that little girl is Miss Haruna's daughter," Levi replied.

"Her child? Doesn't the application document say she's single? Why does she have a child? Did she fake her status?"

"According to what I heard earlier, he is indeed not married. Maybe… a child out of wedlock, young master."

"Looks like a good woman with high self-esteem, but it turns out that only cheap women have children out of wedlock," Tristan smirked as if looking down on Haruna. Haruna in Tristan's eyes at this time was nothing more than a cheap woman. He felt even angrier because his pride was trampled on by a woman like Haruna. His determination to take revenge on Haruna is getting bigger. His anger grew hotter like burning wood with gasoline added to it. The flames got bigger and hotter.

"Send those thugs to Haruna's house, now!"

"Very well, young master." Levi immediately called the five thugs to go to Haruna's house.

Tristan sat in a chair with his feet raised on his desk. A mysterious smile formed on his lips. The three days that should have been given to Kamal and Haruna were now reduced by one day. Tristan couldn't wait to torture Haruna.

Working hours are over. Haruna immediately took her bag and said goodbye to Sari. He went to the parking lot and took his motorbike. 

Drove home impatiently. Haruna can't wait to meet Kiara. Feeling happy like a mother. 

Her daughter is waiting at home. Haruna smiled happily as if she had a child. Even though Kiara was only adopted as her child. He accelerated his motorbike.

At Kamal's normally quiet house. That afternoon there was a sudden riot. The arrival of the thugs sent by Tristan shocked Kamal's residence. Neighbors around his house swarmed when they saw the thugs enter Kamal's house and shout at Kamal.

"Master, please don't hurt them!" Kamal pleads with the head of the thugs so that his men don't hurt Anggi, Vivi, and Kiara. As the goons tied them to a chair, Kamal was scared. His whole body was sweating, he was afraid that the three women would be tortured.

"I'm just tying them up for now. Tomorrow if you don't pay your debt, then prepare to die!"

Haruna got off his motorbike and looked surprised. In front of his house so crowded, not as usual. Haruna approached and asked the person standing at the very back.

"Mr. Tobi, why is everyone crowding here?"

"Haruna, it's good that you're home. Go save your family! That thug looks very sadistic."

Haruna couldn't say anything else. He immediately pushed his way through the crowd and was shocked to see Anggi, Vivi, and Kiara tied to a chair and his father, Kamal, prostrating himself in front of the head of the thugs.

"Papa! What are you guys doing? Let go of my family!" Haruna shouted for her father and grabbed the head of the thugs. But the head of the thugs slapped Haruna's hand until the woman fell to the floor.

"HARUNA!" Anggi and Kamal shouted at the same time when they saw Haruna fall and hit the wall.

"I warn you again, your deadline is tomorrow. Before 7 pm. If you haven't prepared the money, be prepared to accept the punishment!"

"Isn't the deadline the day after tomorrow? Why did you reduce the time limit you gave?" Haruna asked. But the five thugs did not answer and left Haruna's house. The neighbors step aside and make way for the goons. They whispered to each other and gossiped about Haruna's family. They disbanded from Haruna's house.

Kamal frees Anggi's rope and Haruna frees Vivi and Kiara. Haruna hugged Kiara and Vivi worriedly.

"Mama, are you okay? Mama hit the wall earlier."

"Mama is fine, dear. How are Kia and Aunt Vivi? Is anyone sick?"

"No, Sis. They just tie it up." Vivi woke up and saw the state of her mother who was silent. Anggi was shocked because suddenly they were threatened by thugs. Kamal hasn't told Anggi what happened at the shop this morning. Kamal is afraid that Anggi will be surprised to hear that. Now Anggi knows and Kamal tells everything to Anggi and Vivi.

"Brother already knows about this matter?" she asked.

"Yes."

Vivi threw her body sitting on the sofa. He didn't understand what was going on with this cruel fate. They never harm anyone. Then why would anyone have the heart to do evil to their family? 

The debt that should have been only twenty million was now two billion. It was tantamount to killing their family. Because they certainly will not be able to pay the debt. They could only sit and contemplate.
