8 To 4: The Mayor's Contract Wife
The Wira Family
Wira was gone when Ajeng arrived at the police station. But he was informed that the status of the Hero would soon be established as a suspect until the police gathered evidence and witnesses incriminating him.
Ajeng who at that time was with Wira at the scene gave additional information to alleviate the allegations to Wira. He explained that they did not give any food to the merchants. Ajeng also put forward some names of traders who can strengthen his testimony.
But really unexpected, the names turned out to have given information and actually burdensome Wira. They claimed to get parcels of food that made them all poisoned and forced to be rushed to the hospital.
“But how can you, sir? The parcel we gave contained a still raw pot. Where can it be eaten and cause poisoning?”
“But based on the recognition of the traders, the parcel contains bread and rice boxes that are likely already stale and moldy.”
Police even showed samples of boxed rice and leftover bread found at the crime scene to Ajeng. “The rest we have sent to the laboratory to be squeezed.”
“It wasn't Mas Wira who gave the food, sir. We came and went together from TKP and did not bring the food you mentioned earlier.” Elak Ajeng began to despair.
He then showed one of the photos he took during a visit to Kalijaten Market yesterday. In the photo, it is clear that the contents of the parcel are the basic food, not the boxed rice.
“Bu Ajeng take it easy! We will investigate the case until it is complete.” Said the police officer as if he already knew that what Ajeng said was true.
‘How can you be done if you deliberately twist this case to trap Mas Wira?’ rutuk Ajeng was upset.
When he was about to get out of the police station, Ajeng crossed paths with a middle-aged man who came in a luxury car and escorted two men dressed in black. Looking at his appearance and the way the police were submissive and respectful, Ajeng could guess that the man had quite an influential post. But he wasn't interested enough to know why he came to the police station that day. So he prefers to go home and calm down the Hero who may be desperate and afraid to go to jail.
***************
When he got out of the police station, Ajeng saw Wira arriving on his motorbike and immediately approached and pulled him away. Ajeng who was shocked tried to release his hand from Wira.
So Wira stopped her steps, released Ajeng's hand and asked, “Ngapain you are here?”
“Give us a description.”
“What police ask for?”
Ajeng.
“Keep to what?”
“But I was there. And I know exactly what happened.”
“Do you think your caption is useful?” reply Hero.
Ajeng was silent for a moment.
“You think this is really pure about poisoning cases?”
He stared at Wira. “So this was intentional? To trap Mas Wira?”
Wira again pulled Ajeng's hand and took him home with his motorcycle.
*****************
In the afternoon, Ajeng heard Wira received a call from the police station saying that all charges and charges against Wira had been dropped. The case has also been closed and declared a case of food poisoning.
“What? That easy?” ask Ajeng when Wira tells him what he just heard from the police officer.
She smiled as if she knew the ending was coming.
“Did Mas Wira already know that it will finally be like this?”
“This is not the first time.”
“So Mas Wira has often been scapegoated like this?”
Hero nodded.
“Mas Wira also already know the culprit?”
The hero nodded back.
“Dan Mas Wira only? Mas Wira is actually afraid what is stupid anyway?!” ask the emotional Ajeng then went into his room and locked the door tightly.
*****************
The next day Wira brought Ajeng to his parents' house in Batang Hulu. After traveling three hours by car, they finally arrived at a minimalist design luxury house that is as beautiful as the official house that Wira lived in while in Carang Sewu.
“Whose home?” ask Ajeng.
Wira invites Ajeng in and a middle-aged woman with a shorter stature than Ajeng immediately welcomes Wira with a warm embrace. “Mama kangen with you, Wir.”
“Wira also misses Mama. Papa is there, Ma?”
“There's inside. Login yuk!” take Miss Prabu, the mother of Wira.
“Ma, know first! This Ajeng, wife of Wira.”
Ms. Prabu immediately widened to hear the Wira's statement. “Wife? You are married and do not say the same Mama?”
“Sorry, Mom. My mom was still in Jakarta. So the new Wira had ngabarin now.”
Ajeng approached Bu Prabu and kissed the back of his hand politely. “I Ajeng, aunt.”
“Ajeng?!” ask Bu Prabu ketus. “Where is your home? Who are your parents?”
“Ma, mom.. We should not talk inside while sitting down. Ajeng must be tired of traveling far.”
Bu Prabu gave up and let Ajeng in. Shortly afterwards Pak Prabu, Wira's father, and Nia, the elder sister of Wira came and greeted them.
“Loh Om who yesterday came to the police station, right?” ask Ajeng when he realized that the black car that passed him was Prabu, the father of Wira.
“Police office?” ask Bu Prabu confused.
“Wira came to thank Papa. Because Papa has helped Wira solve this problem.”
“Until when will you do stupid things like this, Wir?! Do you know what would happen if the media knew you were back dealing with the law?” snapped Prabu.
Realizing that Ajeng was shocked to see his father's reaction, Wira clasped Ajeng's hand while saying softly, “Jeng, you entered first with Ka Nia well? I'd like to talk to Papa.” first
Nia then invited Ajeng to walk around their house according to the request of the Hero.
“Ka, why is his papa Mas Wira angry so rich?” tanya Ajeng who could no longer hide her curiosity and anxiety.
Nia smiled, “Quiet, Jeng! They're used to it. There's something weird that they make peace when they meet.”
“But why? Aren't they father and son?”
“Wira is not as good as Papa wants and Papa is not as wise as Wira expects. By the way, when did you get married? Why not say it? Mama must be really upset about that.”
“Sorry Ka, all sudden.”
“How do you guys know each other?”
“We happened to meet at Bukit Braksi.”
“Ah, so because of that?” Nia suddenly chuckled. “Stupid basis!”
“Why?”
“Ngga papa, funny if inget turns out Wira is still just as stupid as a seven-year-old child. There used to be a fortune teller who said that the Hero would find his soul mate in a high place. I think he knows it's just a trick but it seems he still believes the same ridiculous prophecy.”
“Hah? Forecast?” Ajeng so follow the chuckles to hear the funny story of his sister-in-law. “But it doesn't seem to be because of that, because he's been married before right?”
“Max you Monic? Hero vehemently opposes the matchmaking, but he is helpless because of his guilt.”
“Protection?”
