Between Ravange And Love

The Challenge

Shinta is sitting alone in the living room, her child is going to school while her husband is still sleeping in the room. Apparently Shinta is still thinking about the locked room, her curiosity is getting hotter when she sees her husband’s behavior and facial expressions last night.

“I’m sure, there must be something Mas Bram is hiding in that room. What’s really going on?” Sita thought. No matter how hard she thought, she still couldn’t find the answers to all her questions.

Suddenly there was a desire to find out more in order to complete his own curiosity. Sita looked around the house and she thought that this was a good opportunity to find out the answer, Bram was still fast asleep and there was no one else in the house.

Without wasting any more time, Shinta immediately went into the room to look for the key to the locked room, she was sure that in fact the key was never lost from the start and must now be hidden by her husband somewhere.

Shinta started to open every drawer that was there, not forgetting that she also reached into all her husband’s pants, shirt and shirt pockets very carefully so as not to make any noise. Occasionally Shinta turned to Bram who was still asleep. All the items, drawers, clothes, cupboards, he had unpacked and searched them one by one, but the results were still to no avail.

“Where’s the key? I’ve searched all the places, but I still can’t find anything.” Shinta was starting to get angry, her eyes were looking at every corner of the room so keenly, worried that there was a secluded place that she had not touched.

“The key… Where is the key,” muttered Shinta, time was very limited, if Bram woke up, he would be finished. It would be very difficult to get an opportunity like this again.

Suddenly his eyes fell on a quote that reads “The Key to Success Is Work” wrapped in a wooden frame.

“Key? Who knows the key is indeed there, it is impossible for Mas Bram to hide the key elsewhere, it must still be close to his daily life, “Shinta thought.

It was a little impossible indeed, but he was curious because the frame was the only thing in this room that he had not touched. When you are almost desperate, it feels like the impossible is still expected. Then Shinta immediately checked it, first she climbed a small stool to remove the frame from the wall.

And it turned out that her guess was right, after the frame was lifted up, a key was seen hanging on the wall, Shinta almost screamed with joy because she was so happy.

His hand had already touched the key, suddenly…

 “What are you doing there?”

Deg! It was Bram’s voice. Instantly Shinta’s heart stopped beating, her whole body was hot and cold and also vibrating. Bram would be furious if he knew that he was taking the key.

“Oh, sorry,” Shinta said quietly. Slowly she turned around with a face full of fear, Shinta looked down deeply, not daring to look at her husband’s face. But a few seconds later the atmosphere returned to silence, there was no yelling or any sound after that.

Sita dared to lift her face and see what really happened.

Her mouth fell open when she saw her husband was still fast asleep on the bed, only the position had changed. Apparently Bram was just delirious earlier.

“Gosh, I almost had a heart attack,” Shinta breathed a sigh of relief while rubbing her chest, she was relieved and happy because it meant she could continue her mission.

Shinta hastily grabbed the key and put the frame back in its place, as wide as a smile spread across Shinta’s thin lips. Soon he would reveal the secret that had been hidden by Bram.

Just before he stepped out, Bram’s cell phone rang, his heart tingled to see who was calling him. Maybe it’s related to Bram’s work, which he’s always wanted to know, so Shinta once again ventured to see it. In fact, in all the years of marriage, he had never been presumptuous to open Bram’s cellphone without permission.

“I’ve already stepped, so why don’t I just reveal everything,” thought Shinta.

After that, without hesitation, Shinta checked the notification on the front screen, apparently there were two missed calls and also a message. Incidentally, the password that Bram uses is none other than the birth date of his son so that Shinta can easily access the cellphone. A message from a contact named “Tirex” piqued his curiosity even more,

“From the name alone it’s strange, what about the contents of the message?” that’s what Sita thought.

He also opened a message from Tirex, it was written:

“Now that Master has filled the house again, then do I need to feed the vermin as usual?”

The sentence is so ambiguous and difficult to understand, the Tirex clearly mentions pests. But which pests are fed? Pests should be exterminated instead of being fed, right?

Shinta really doesn’t understand, the more she looks for it, the more she is faced with a large maze containing puzzles that are very complicated and difficult to solve.

This might be a danger to herself, but Sita is too tired to live with all these lies. After all he had to know everything.

Not wanting to waste time just thinking about Tirex, Shinta immediately ran to the room with the key in her hand. After this is over, maybe he will find out about Tirex.

“I have to open this door, I’m sure there is something in here,” thought Shinta.

Sita opened the door with the key she had gotten, in just a few seconds the door was wide open. One impression he got, dark, damp, and quite eerie. This room was so closed that little sunlight could enter it, so it was dark even during the day.

But Shinta could still see even though it was a little dim, she slowly stepped inside with her heart beating wildly.

“Excuse me, is anyone here?” Sita said slowly.

Crack…

Sita’s eyes and ears are so aware of her surroundings, she feels something strange here. Strange voices began to sound, making Shinta a little nervous, her breathing sounded irregular.

Apparently there was another room in that room, but the door to that room was not locked. Either intentionally or someone forgot to lock it, a big luck for Sita, she wants to finish this soon and hopes nothing will happen after that.

Step by step Shinta approached, slowly but surely, her head began to peek behind the door she opened slowly. The door was not fully open, but Shinta could clearly see what was in the room.

Suddenly his eyes widened perfectly, his breath caught even though his mouth was wide open as if he had just been strangled by a big monster. His whole body was shaking violently, there wasn’t a single word he could say.

His surprise was not over, he was suddenly startled by the sound of someone booming behind him.

“Hey, stop!”

Sita automatically turned to the source of the sound, suddenly…

“Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa……!!!!!” she screamed.
