MEET MRS. OBEROI
An old woman with completely white hair silently stared out the car window, gazing at the darkness of the dark wilderness.
"Mrs! Sorry, if I'm presumptuous. However, it is my duty, who has been with the Oberoi family for a long time, to remind you of your health condition. Don't get hit by the night wind, and don't think too much and get lost in sadness," said a man with a stout and fat body.
He is Ed. This year, he is thirty years old. He's not a driver. He was the child Madam Wani had found since she was five years old. Snuggled up against the cold in the rainstorm.
Flashback***
A boy was seen huddled cold in the middle of the pouring rain. He took shelter in front of a closed shop, in a deserted suburb. However, because the rain mixed with the wind, the boy was still wet from the rain. Because nothing stands in his small body.
He huddled for a long time to endure the bone-chilling cold and nausea. Maybe because of the cold. Moreover, the clothes he was wearing were also wet. Suddenly he opened his eyes when he realized that the rain was no longer attacking his little body which was starting to weaken.
The boy who didn't even know his name and origins suddenly looked up to see a young, neat, and beautiful figure smiling with wet eyes at him. Then the figure crouched down. Behind him were two men dressed neatly in black complete with matching glasses. Sturdy looking straight ahead.
"Son, you are alone here? Where are your parents?" the woman asked meekly.
The nameless boy shook his head. However, he did not show the slightest that he was afraid of strangers who came to him. Just unspoken shame. That person looks so neat, while he… already looks like a ditch mouse!
"You don't have a family?" he said again.
The boy nodded, his eyes twinkling with hope.
"Son, what's your name?"
Again, the boy shook his head. Meanwhile, the woman with a gentle smile and a face filled with affection reached out, held the boy's cheek, and began to introduce herself and state her intent and purpose.
"Son, my name is Wani Oberoi. From now on, you come with me! Your name is Edo Oberoi. You became part of my family. Come home with me, son!"
Since then, the life of the boy on the roadside has changed drastically. However, he is a child who knows himself and never forgets the land. Even though Mrs. Wani has provided all the facilities like her own child. However, Edo still chooses to be a servant or bodyguard of the angel who has given him the life and education he deserves. bearing the Oberoi surname alone, was more than enough for him. Especially with everything you have.
He does not want to be a child who is mostly spoiled and always relies on the strength of his parents. However, he wanted to be willing to risk his life as well as his life to ensure Madam Wani's safety.
***comeback***
Without answering Edo's words, the old woman immediately closed the window. Not even a word came out of his mouth. He's just silent in a thousand languages.
"I've never been in your position. But, as a human being who also has a conscience. I can also feel the sadness you feel. I also feel lost, especially if you are a mother," said Edo.
Instantly, the old woman's cries broke out. Her tears rolled down her cheeks. "Can't I be sad and cry, Edo? As strong and as great as I am as a human in the eyes of others, I am still a weak human being. Seeing with my own eyes my husband was slaughtered. Then… not long after, my teenage daughter died in an air crash while she was on her way to America.
When she left she was still beautiful and healthy. Then, not long ago he returned in the form of a lifeless body."
Ed was silent. Stuck unable to say anything. His throat felt like something was jammed up. It was hard for him to breathe. But, as a man, he had to be strong. Even if you cry, don't get in front of other people. especially Mrs. Wani.
On the same road, in the opposite direction, a car accelerated erratically and swayed slightly. Inside, four people were drunk and laughing loudly.
"Hey! I'm the chairman here. Don't be like you! You dare touch his sensitive area for a moment before I go first, I will finish your hand!" said the cold-faced man who was holding the steering wheel.
"Of course not. We, who dare to go before you. But, we are far from the crowd. It's already similar to a forest. Why not just execute it now?" asked the three people who already looked very impatient.
"Isn't the deeper you go into the forest, the safer it is?" said the man holding the wheel. like they don't care at all.
"Oh, alright… alright…"
Edo narrowed his eyes when he saw a car briefly turning into the forest. he was sure, there must be something wrong tone. What is clear, if that happens, is not far from what is called a crime.
"At first glance it looks like there is a light, Do?" asked Mrs. Wani. Not surprisingly, he is still recognized as the head of the underground army. Approaching the age of sixty, just like a grandmother, she is still very observant and sensitive to things like this.
"Yes, there was a black car that went into the forest, madam. Should we follow him, madam?"
"Just follow!"
The four men roughly dragged Ritika's body which was already disorganized. His clothes were also tattered from being pulled here and by the four impudent men.
"Oh… don't! Do not touch me! Please free me! I don't want to!" he shouted with all his might. He was already very weak. But, because her pride as a woman had been threatened… and she also couldn't let her only crown be torn apart, she screamed as hard as she could and rebelled.
"Edo! Did you hear that?" asked Mrs. Wani in a panic.
"Yes, madam!"
"Quick, run and save the girl from those immoral men!" Mrs. Wani's orders. Still so firm, even though her body looks frail and all her hair is white.
Without waiting for the second command, the man immediately jumped out of the car running while taking the gun that he always had tucked in his waist.
"Boom! Dor!"
"Argh… who are you!" shouted the man who had been holding the steering wheel furiously. Because his fun was interrupted, his right arm was also shot.
