The Estuary of Desire Baruna
Eps. #56 Daniel's attack

Ardila put her ear on the door.

"Yes, Una. I heard like someone was being held in there!" ardila was sure of her hearing.

"We have to go in and check what's going on inside, brother!"

"But this door is locked, how do we get in?"

"I'll break this door down!"

Baruna stood at the door and took a few steps back while putting up the horses.

Braaakk!

The door was kicked so hard that it was wide open.

"It's so dark, Una."

Ardila's hands fumbled through the walls of the room, looking for a light switch there.

Chequek!

Ardila managed to find the on button, so all the lights in the room were now brightly lit.

The eyes of Baruna and Ardila were wide. When they entered the house, they saw several women dressed as servants, lying and drooping on the floor and on the living room sofa. The items in the room looked very messy and there was a fishy smell from the blood spots that seemed to be splattered on the floor.

"It looks like this house is a robbery, Una," terka Ardila while examining some servants who were unconscious in the room.

"These servants were not hurt in the least. Brother thinks they're drugged. They didn't faint, but fell asleep very fast." Ardila could feel the servants sleeping under the influence of drugs.

"Who's hurt then, brother? Why are there so many blood spots here?" baruna asked increasingly curious.

Ardila shook her head, she was very surprised and seemed to not believe what she saw in that place.

Baruna and Ardila continued to walk around, watching and probing all the corners of the house.

They suspect the robbers are still in the house and may also attack them.

"Yeshoo....!"

Ardila shouted as she closed both eyes with her palm when she reached the middle room. There was a man lying on the floor covered in blood.

"Una... Look at this!" he shuddered in fear, looking at everything before his eyes.

Baruna rushed over to Ardila, then crouched down beside the already motionless man's body, to check on his condition. On all parts of the man's body appeared to be covered with sharp gun wounds and also wounds from blunt force blows.

Baruna looked at the man's face. "Sister, wasn't this the man who almost harmed us at that time?" Baruna frowned as she looked at the bloodied face of the man, covered in wounds before her.

"Yes..right, Una. This man who was called Oscar by Om Alfin back then." Ardila was able to recognize the man from all over his tattooed body.

"Is he still alive, Una?"

"This man is still breathing, his body is still warm. It's just that he's been spitting out too much blood."

Baruna put her index finger under the man's nose and popped his wrist and felt his pulse still throbbing.

"To-long.....!"

Ardila and Baruna again widened their eyes wide, how shocked they were when they arrived at a room heading towards the kitchen, a man was seen slumped to the floor and still tied to a chair.

"Diaz...!" peekik Ardila's. He could easily recognize the man whose legs, hands and other limbs were tied to the chair and in a rolled-up position on the floor and the chair was overstretched.

Baruna and Ardila rushed over to Diaz who looked helpless.

"What's going on, Diaz?"

Baruna immediately pulled out the black duct tape that was sticking to cover Diaz's mouth.

"Please take off this rope first!" he exclaimed hoping that Baruna would immediately free him from all the ropes wrapped around his body.

"Thank you for helping me, Baruna" Diaz said after Baruna removed all the rope that had tied her up.

Although Diaz hated Baruna very much, but that day Baruna and Ardila were the ones who saved her, so she still felt she had to thank him and for a moment to forget his hatred.

"Say, what happened, Diaz? Who did all this?" Ardila directly attacked Diaz with a question.

"It's all Daniel's motherfucker! He and his men had already brutally attacked me while I was being off guard!" furious Diaz.

"He's been drugging all the servants and guards of this house. He has also managed to slaughter all my men" Diaz said in a fierce tone as she flicked her clothes and touched her battered face.

Baruna frowned. "Daniel?" tanyanya with her head shook slowly.

"Yes! Daniel is now my enemy. I don't want to be his follower anymore, which is why he wants to destroy me. He's afraid I'm gonna leak his weakness to the authorities."

"Your workshop is on fire. Is that Daniel's doing too?" ask Ardila.

"Yes. It was all planned for me to be completely destroyed!" fierce Diaz again.

"Then why are you suddenly here?" Diaz looked at Baruna and Ardila alternately with astonished looks.

"So we went to your workshop to see Om Alfin. But the people there said that your workshop was closed at two in the afternoon" explained Ardila.

"Of Alfin....." Diaz gasped and her eyes rounded. "I haven't been to the shop all day. Om Alfin's taking care of the workshop today. How's he doing, did he survive the fire?" There was concern also seen in Diaz's eyes.

"According to the information in the TKP, there were no fatalities. Your workshop is empty" said Baruna.

"Yes. Every Friday, the workshop is closed at two o'clock." Diaz felt a little relieved to hear the news that Baruna delivered.

"Floretta...!" Diaz's eyes widened. "Daniel has Flo out of here!" peekik Diaz panicked when he remembered his sister.

"Floretta?" Baruna also gasped at what Diaz had revealed.

"Did Daniel kidnap Flo?" asked Baruna also felt angry with Daniel, as well as anxious about Flo's situation.

"Yes! I'll be right after Daniel. I have to save Flo!" Diaz rushed over with a slight limp, as his body was also injured from being beaten up by Daniel and his men, earlier.

"Wait, Diaz! We'll go with you. We'll both save Flo from the villain!" prevent Baruna while glancing towards Ardila who also nodded in agreement looked towards her.

"I know where Daniel's going, Flo!"

Diaz also nodded. There was a sense of pleasure in his heart because Baruna and Ardila would help him to save Floretta from Daniel's clutches.

The three then rushed into Baruna's car and immediately slid away from Diaz's house.
