The Pawned Wife
Grace and Hendri

"Don't you kill her Grace, I don't want you to dirty your hands by killing that depraved woman!" said Hendri slowly

Grace shook her head

"This woman is the reason you hurt Linda, you avenge your heartache on her with an innocent man, so this woman must die, especially since she has the heart to terrorize your three children"

Hendri closed his eyes hearing all the evidence Grace had said

"I already know Grace if Nia's mastermind, but you don't get your hands dirty, but now Nia doesn't get anything out of her business either"

"You don't know how cunning he is, Hendri, I know Nia better than you!"

Hendri rubbed his face

"Grace, I don't want you to go to jail for killing Nia, I don't want to part with you because you're in jail, I'd rather we be separated by the state instead of by iron bars"

Nia closed her eyes hearing Hendri's soft voice, slowly lowering the gun from Nia's forehead, then

PLAAAKKK

A loud slap floated onto Nia's face causing the woman to close her eyes

"Go away from here before I blow your head off!!!" snapped Grace who made Nia run fast

"Now it's your turn to be Great" growled Grace walking towards the bowed Great before her grandfather

BUGHH PLAAKK'S...

Blows and slaps landed on Agung's face and body many times

"Coward, immoral man, where was your brain when you sold your wife huh?!" back Grace blindly beat up Agung

"Linda is a cheap woman, so I sold her!!!" shouted Greatly

PLAAAKKK

This time a hard blow from Hendri's hand drifted to Agung's head

"What do you say, cheap? Cheap linda? Huh??" yelled Hendri while pulling tight the collar of Agung shirt and back raised his big fist to the head of Agung

Mama Marisa and mama Giska are suffocated to see their two boys fighting

"You know for yourself how many billions I spent to buy Linda" Hendri grumbled as he continued to beat Agung

"I won't let anyone insult my wife, remember Great, Linda is now my wife, my responsibility, one dirty word about Linda comes out of your mouth, I cut off your tongue!!" said Hendri while relentlessly beating Agung

Hendri's other cousins tried to hold Hendri's shoulder and hand so he stopped beating Agung

"Stop, enough of everything!!!" snapped the grandfather who was able to make a room that was originally rowdy quiet suddenly

"Marisa, Giska, don't you teach fraternity with your two children, huh?!"

"Agung is not my brother, my brother is just Grace" replied Hendri who still continues to be held with his cousins

"Shameful, just because of a woman!" the grandfather shouted in anger

"It's not about a woman's grandfather, but it's about the self-esteem of a woman who has been abused by the Supreme!" reply Grace loudly

"Don't be presumptuous of you Grace, what did you learn in Germany until you dared yell with your grandfather, huh?!" snapped their grandfather's eldest son

"Much of what I learned Om, especially how to silence people's mouths so that he can't speak again for ever" Grace replied boldly

Grace's bold answer was able to make the one in this room swallow her saliva

"Marisa, take your son home, he'll be here for a long time, he'll also take my blow" the grandfather angrily growled

"Go home all of you, this matter has been settled, we have all seen the evidence for ourselves, and you are great, never set foot in the grandfather's house again, even if you die later, you don't have to come!!"

"Dad.." said mama Marisa choked.

After that the grandfather walked ahead of everything out of the home theater room accompanied by the view of all his grandchildren

After the death of their grandfather, all of Agung's cousins and the female Hendri stood in front of Agung, staring hatefully at Agung whose face had turned blue from Hendri's hard punch

"We did not expect that you were so low, Agung" they said

Then they approached timidly towards Grace who was still holding the gun in her hand

Grace immediately put the gun into her blazer and spread out her hands, and her cousins rushed at her

"Welcome Grace." said they warmly as they alternately hugged Grace.

Grace nodded with a smile clutching them warmly

"When can we talk?" ask them

"Not now, if now I still want to be with Hendri first"

Six of Grace's cousins nodded and turned towards Hendri who was still being soothed with their male cousins

"It seems that only you Grace can calm Hendri" they continued

Grace nodded and smiled, again they took turns to hold Grace before finally the beautiful woman walked closer to Hendri

"Hen.." call Grace clean.

Hendri turned his head, got up and hugged Grace

"Somehow I'm Grace without you." said Hendri.

"No need to be happy, I'm doing this for myself, I don't want my body and brain to hurt because of you"

Hendri had to smile and rub his face rough, then he turned to look at his cousins who were still staring at the two of them

"Are you guys as close and loving as we are?"

Hendri's cousin looked at each other and nodded

"But we didn't expect that your brotherhood was so much thicker than ours"

Grace and Hendri both smiled

"It's because we were born together and separated for years, so we felt how the pain was separated" Hendri replied again

And Grace pamperedly immediately wrapped her hands around Hendri's arms

"Grace.." - Ogre Mama Giska.

Grace looked back, where her papa mama had been standing not far from them

Hendri nodded his head at Grace, and Grace took a deep breath

"I'll catch up, now I want to talk to Aunt Marisa and Heru, I want to apologize to them for beating up their son"

"No, I don't want them to hit you later"

Hendri shakes

"No, I'm sure they won't dare, have you forgotten your threat?"

Grace hit Hendri's arm while laughing

"Talk first to mom and dad, they're just like me, so loving and missing you"

Grace took a deep breath again until she finally nodded

Hendri rubbed Grace's head then he approached mama Marisa, her mama Agung who at that time seemed to be crying

"Tante.." call Hendri.

Aunt Marissa quickly rubbed her face rough then looked unwilling to see Hendri's face, as well as her husband

"I'm sorry auntie, um, because Iu had beaten Agung, but I swear om, auntie, that I did because I didn't accept him insulting Linda"

Mama Marissa still put on a sour face hearing Hendri's apology, as well as her husband

"Hen, here son....!" call papa

Hendri again said his apology before he finally left Grandpa's parents who still did not want to look at him until he left

"We're meeting Grandpa" said Mama Giska

Hendri nodded, but Grace immediately put on a sour face

"Grace.." persuaded Hendri.

With a peck of annoyance, Grace finally obeyed the footsteps of her parents and Hendri who walked out of the home theater room

Arriving in front of her father's room, Giska's mother knocks on the door and calls her father, but there is no word

Until finally Hendri intervened

"Grandfather, we're in?, this is me with Grace too...."

There is still no reason, until finally Hendri pulled the door latch and pushed it

They saw his grandfather sitting back at the door

"Dad.....?" call mama Giska

Grandpa Hendri shook his head, and Hendri immediately crouched down in front of him, staring at his wrinkled face that turned wet with tears

"Grandfather.....?" said Hendri stuck

Grandpa Hendri immediately stretched out his hands like a child, and Hendri immediately entered into the arms of his grandfather

"Grandfather's sorry Hen, grandpa's sorry....."

Mama Giska rubbed her face because without feeling her tears had flowed to see her father cry

"Grandfather was not wrong, it was my fault, for hiding all this from grandfather"

Grandpa Hendri took off his arms and looked deeply into Hendri's eyes

"Where's grace...?" he tried to twist his body

Grace rolled her eyes lazily hearing the grandfather speak her name

"Grace.." call Hendri.

Grace shook strongly

"Son....?" papa said

"If I say I don't want to, I don't want to. Don't force me"

Hendri's grandfather who had been sitting facing Grace and his parents just stared wistfully at Grace

"Grace.." call his grandfather.

Grace flinching

"Grandfather is sorry Grace.." said his grandfather sobbing that made Mama Giska back sobbing.

And Hendri quickly hugged his grandfather from the side, stroking his grandfather's arm trying to calm him down

"Grace....?" call the grandfather again

Grace took a deep breath

"Grandfather never knew what I was feeling, his seven-year-old grandfather forced me and Hendri to separate just because we were twins"

"Grandfather didn't know how Hendri and I cried every day and all night because of our longing" Grace's voice weakened as she tried hard to hold back her tears

"Many months I and Hendri were sick until Uncle Bram brought me back to Indonesia and reunited us, and grandfather saw for himself how we were when we met, that moment we healed, that moment we also had the spirit to live again"

"But Grandfather could separate us again, until almost every day we called each other, strengthen each other, so continue to this day"

"Me and Hendri was one life cake, Hendri fell in Indonesia, I fell also in Germany, Hendri was injured I also felt the pain, until Uncle Bram and Aunty Kyle understood that me and Hendri had a strong bond but grandfather, mom and dad never realized that"

"I once drowned in the pool, Hendri at home felt out of breath until mama and papa were confused to see his face turn blue"

"But my mom and dad were too scared of my grandpa, so they just kept trying to keep Hendri and me away"

Hendri was like a crying child who lost his favorite thing when he heard Grace say

Sedu sedu salunannya sound clear, until mama Giska more sobbing

"Our grandparents yearned for each other, even though the world was modern, it was easy for us to communicate, but we lost our moment of togetherness"

"We can't fight anymore, can't grab toys anymore, can't sleep together anymore, can't talk to each other anymore"

"And did grandfather ever think of that?, grandfather only thought of myths instead of our psychic"

Papa Hendri rubbed Grace's head with tears

"We're sorry, too, son." - She was stuck.

Grace shook her head

"Your apologies cannot restore our time together which you have taken away"

After saying so, Grace immediately turned her body leaving the grandfather's room, where the grandfather and his parents still looked beaten
