Executing the Plan
White clouds covered the reddish sunlight, birds were already flying here and there around the clouds, getting higher and higher until it looked smaller and smaller when viewed by people from the earth. Flowers began to bloom, decorating this Kendal city. Around 07. 00, Gifer actually still wanted to be in Kendal, enjoying his hometown that he had left for so long. He still wanted to chat with his parents, pick some ripe fruits at the back of the house, and invite his parents for healing using his car. But all her dreams were dashed after her lover asked her to immediately return to the city of Jakarta. She had to go back this morning, even though she didn’t want to. But for the sake of her lover, she would obey him, rather than her lover getting angry and asking her to break up with him. Gifer had just finished showering and was preparing to pack his clothes, putting them into a suitcase. He was getting ready to leave his room and tried to convince his parents that he had to go back to Seoul on Sunday. Gifer approached his mother who was already in the kitchen making breakfast. The mother whose son was already prepared with his neat clothes immediately wondered, where is this kid going? She thought.
“Gifer? Where are you going oh? Why are you so neat this early in the morning?” Asked the mother by raising one eyebrow. She was curious about her son already getting ready in the morning, especially on Sunday, where Sunday is a holiday for everyone.
“Ah, Mom, sorry,” with a heavy heart, Gifer hugged his mother. Spoiling with his mother for a while wouldn’t take up time, right? He just wanted to channel his longing after not seeing his parents for so long, even when he just met for a while, Raya already asked him to come back.
“Why apologize? You did nothing wrong, dear. I’m just asking,” she replied.
“Ekm, ekm, that’s it. The father is forgotten,” quipped the father who suddenly appeared in the kitchen doorway. Gifer released his embrace on his mother’s body and faced his father with a smile.
“Dad, come here. I have something to talk to you and Mom,” Gifer led his parents to the dining table located near the kitchen, while his mother, who was preparing breakfast, took the food she had prepared from the kitchen to the dining table. Once ready, she dragged a chair and immediately joined in to hear what Gifer wanted to talk about.
“What do you want to talk about, Gif?” Asked his father.
“Dad, Mom, I’m sorry. Gifer has to go back to Jakarta today, Raya asked Gifer to come back.”
“Maybe it’s an order from Mr. Kevin’s son, no problem, Gif. Just obey, you can come here again next time,” said his father.
“But, actually Gifer still wants to be here, still wants to pick some plants that have borne fruit at the back of the house, but unfortunately it’s not possible. That’s okay, it doesn’t matter. You’re right, I do have to go back soon. Raya asked me to come around 9:00. So, I have to leave soon, Father, Mother,”
“Ah yes too, the trip must be very long, you better take the highway if you want to go fast, Gif,” his father suggested.
“Okay, Dad.”
“But, can’t it be postponed? I still miss my sweet son,” teased his mother while pinching both of Gifer’s cheeks until the master groaned in pain.
“Aishh, why are you pinching me, Mom?” Gifer complained while putting his lips forward in annoyance.
“Hahaha, hey, you’re an adult, why are you still sulking like that? Are you like that with your lover too?” Asked the mother laughing.
“Hehehe, never with my boyfriend, Mom. She’s the one who sulks,” said Gifer.
“Hahaha, that’s the way it should be, Gif. It’s the woman who has to be spoiled, the man who pampers.” replied the father. They immediately ate their meal with relish without any disturbance.

On the other hand, Nara had already prepared her plan, she was now already in Kendal, of course together with a man she sent.
“You already know what your task is, right? I’m pretty sure, Gifer will take the highway because he doesn’t like traffic jams on normal roads,” Nara asked the man.
“You know, I’ve disconnected the brake pads in this car, now it’s just a matter of carrying out the mission. If I survive, I can still contact you, but if I don’t survive and the car explodes, that means I won’t contact you anymore.”
“Yes, I know that, Yohanes. I’ve already transferred all the money to your account. I assure you, your family will be safe.” Nara replied.
“Alright.”
Nara started contacting Raya by phone.
“You’ve asked Gifer to come to Jakarta, right?” Nara asked as she put her cell phone to her right ear.
“Already, just waiting for him to leave, I’ll call him later.” Said Raya who was in Jakarta.
“Good job, I’ve also prepared everything. Looking forward to hearing the good news, Raya.”
“Can I ask you something?” Asked Raya.
“Yes, just ask, bestie.” Nara said.
“Why are you taking this route? Don’t you like Gifer? Why do you want to harm him?” Asked Raya curiously which was only answered with a laugh by Nara.
“Hahahahahhaha, apparently you are very curious, Raya? Or, have you started to like Gifer?” Nara guessed.
“It’s not that, I’m just curious about why you’re doing all this. It could go to the police for premeditated murder if it gets caught.” Raya replied worriedly.
“Relax, we won’t get caught, if none of you, me, or my people open their mouths. As for why I’m doing this, that’s none of your business, Raya. You just do what I tell you to do.” Nara said.

Jakarta, Indonesia, more precisely on the road near the Shinniung Doll company office owned by Mr. Kevin, there was Raya sitting on the sidewalk, her feelings were anxious because she was going to carry out the crazy plan that had been arranged by Nara in recent days. She really wanted to get out of the relationship with Gifer, but if it was to take his life? Still no one would have the heart. Moreover, Raya saw Gifer’s face every day in the office, his attention, his soft nature, everything. No, it’s not that Raya liked Gifer, she just couldn’t bear to hurt the person closest to her. Tears could not help but fall, wetting her left cheek.
“I still have to do this, I promised Nara, yes.” Raya started to contact Gifer, but he did not pick up his phone.
“Aish, there’s no signal here either, should I just walk?” Raya started walking until she got a signal and was connected by Gifer’s cell phone. When she started to connect, she bumped into a girl who was taking a picture on the side of the road next to the cherry blossoms until her cell phone fell, making her very upset.
“Isn’t this the side of the road, there are many people passing by too! Besides, it looks really dumb to be taking pictures under a cherry blossom tree on the side of the road like this!” Raya was angry with Anggi who was still pensive. Anggi was the one who got hit here, but Anna was also the one who got angry. That’s not fair.
“Miss, why are you scolding her? Didn’t my friend apologize, huh? If it’s a matter of looking hokey or not when taking a picture under a cherry blossom tree, that’s up to us because we’re the ones taking the picture, not Miss.” Belvina casually responded to the woman’s remarks towards Anggi.
“How dare you answer me?” Raya was already preparing to raise her hand, trying to slap Belvina. But Belvina immediately dismissed it by grabbing the woman’s hand and held it above her head.
“Belvina…” Called Anggi who tried to stop the argument between them.
“Shut up, Anggi!” Belvin said firmly, so that Anggi would not interfere with this matter.Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
“Slap, go ahead and slap if I’m guilty. But here, you’re the one who’s guilty because you hit my friend. You’re the one who should apologize to my friend.” As Raya’s hands shook and clenched into fists, the woman’s face turned bright red with anger and embarrassment as everyone looked at her. Then Raya immediately released her hand from Belvina’s grip and picked up her cell phone that had fallen. She started to call Gifer who had not been connected. Belvina and Anggi could only stare at Raya’s back which was getting further away.
.
After arguing with the girl named Belvina, Raya tried to call Gifer again to carry out the action. Shortly after that, Gifer picked up.
In the phone call.
“Hello dear, where are you? What took you so long?” Asked Raya.
“Yes, I’m on my way to Jakarta. You just wait, I’ll probably be there in about half an hour.”
“But you’re really coming, right Gifer? You’re not lying are you?”
“Yes, I’m not lying…”
Gifer’s sentence was cut short because a car from the opposite direction lost control and hit the car driven by the man named Gifer. His eyes bulged when he realized that danger was about to befall him.
“Oh my gosh, Noooooo!”
Brak!
Pyar!
Prang!
Gifer’s car was pushed to the left violently, until it hit the road divider. The cell phone Gifer was holding fell onto the passenger seat next to him and still had the voice of his girlfriend calling him earlier.
“Hello? Gifer? What’s wrong with you?”
There was no answer from Gifer.
Raya cried, she heard everything. Hearing the moment the accident happened, it was so horrible and the guilt started to appear.
“Gifer, I’m sorry.”
