Chapter 7 Hana

Linda noticed the body wrapped in a plastic bag, she hurriedly ran to the car to take the laptop in the bag, the man's face reminded Linda of something.

Sure enough, after opening the photo file taken during coverage at the Black Rose club. Linda discovers that the stiffened man in front of her is a security Black Rose who was caught on camera grabbing a woman's hair.

"Sir is the security Black Rose in the photo."

Hearing Linda's words, Wira was surprised, she immediately took the laptop on Linda's lap to confirm Linda's speech.

Wira's forehead wrinkled, her face instantly changed, her thickened jaw held back the blushing anger.

"The club is really dangerous, why are they so easy to throw away someone's life?"

"What is the secret behind Black Rose's club business?"

Although not speaking, actually the heart of the Hero burned, the man was very furious, because in front of his eyes, the law was easily played.

The sky turned red, the sun was about to rise, while the corpse before them started to emit an unpleasant scent.

Wira rushed to call the police to report the murder that occurred in a small dock of the coastal area outside Surabaya. He requested that the bodies of the victims be evacuated immediately, because the condition of the bodies that are wet, has begun to swell.

After sending a map of the location, Wira rushes to the car to change clothes, while Linda guards the body until the police come to evacuate the victims.

The sun was up when the police car came with the ambulance. Without spending time, they immediately worked to evacuate victims into the ambulance car, then held the TKP.

In a separate place, Wira and Linda were questioned about the murder. They answered several questions and then handed over photographic and video evidence that recorded four of the perpetrators dumping the bodies of the victims into the sea.

After making testimony, Wira and Linda were allowed to leave the site, while the officers continued the TKP process while collecting additional evidence.

Wira takes Linda back to the car, because there is nothing else they can do in that place. After saying goodbye to the officers Wira also left the location, immediately returned to the city of Surabaya.

All the way home, Linda fell asleep. The reporter looked tired and sleepy.

The hero drove his car at high speed. Sometimes he fixes Linda's sleeping position, so that the girl feels comfortable.

Two hours later Wira arrived in front of the fence of the house, a mother standing in front of the door with a restless face. The hero patted Linda on the shoulder to wake her up.

"Lin, hey get up, we're here."

"Where are we, sir?"

"We're in front of your house."

"Let's get up..!"

While rubbing her face Linda looked around, She saw that the mother had been standing waiting for her.

They both got out of the car simultaneously, then Wira introduced herself, then told her everything that happened last night.

"I'm sorry to worry you, my name is Wira, a member of the city police, last night Linda came with us to cover patrols in the Black Rose club business district."

"And last night there was a little incident that made him have to come with me."

"It's okay, girl, I've seen the news on tv, thanks for taking my son home."

"Same ma'am, again I apologize. Then excuse me first."

The heroes say goodbye to Linda and her mother, then immediately go home. Drowsiness and tiredness were very, making him fall asleep on the sofa.

"Wira.. Hero..!"

A woman stood before Wira with an angry face, the woman's clothes were red with blood.

"Who are you, what do you want?"

"Give me back my things...!"

The woman floated up like she was about to strangle the neck of Wira. He immediately took a few steps back with a face full of sweat.

"What stuff, what stuff are you?"

The woman crawled on the wall, her mouth full of maggots gaping as if she was going to devour the Hero.

"Give me my stuff Wira...!"

As the woman's face turned softer, Wira caught the deep sadness in the look of her sinister face.

"Hana..."

The hero saw the woman writing a name on the wall with blood coming out of her sharp fingernails.

The hero woke up from sleep, his body filled with cold sweat. His watch shows at sixteen. The afternoon air was so warm it went through the glass windows. The hero sat down while drinking a glass of water, then wiped the sweat off his face and neck."

"Thank God it was all just a dream."

The hero is still silent contemplating, he continues to think about the meaning of the dream and what message the woman wants to convey, until she is present in a dream with a sinister form.

"Hana.. Hannah.. Who is this Hana?"

"Why can I dream about him?"

"Which one of hers did I bring?"

In the middle of his daydream about Hana, suddenly Wira heard something from the middle room.

"Brain..!"

Something falls out of the closet, Wira wakes up to find out what items have fallen.

"This locket, my God, I forgot to hand over this locket to the investigator."

"Is the girl in this photo Hana?"

"But the face in my dream was really scary, could she be Hana?"

"I have to find out, who's this woman named Hana, why is she present in my dream?"

The hero put the pendant again on top of the closet, then rushed to go to the bathroom. His body felt sticky because he dived into the sea early this morning.

Twenty minutes later the Hero was dressed and ready to go to the office. He carried the Pendant of girl X in his pocket to hand it over to the investigator.

Upon arrival at the office, Wira headed straight for the second floor. Siska and some police staff are still in the office, they are preparing to go home.

"Lho, how come you're here, we're going home, sir?"

"Yes Sis, I came for a while, to hand over the evidence to the investigator."

"Make evidence of the case this morning, sir?"

"Not Sis, I found this pendant around the scene of the discovery of the body of girl X."

"Today I forgot to hand this thing over to the investigator, so I'll hand it over now."

"But the officer who kept the evidence has gone home, sir, should be handed over in the morning."

"Can't be Sis, this thing has a magical aura. Because of this locket I got a nightmare, today."

"Maybe you're just too tired to think about girl X's case so you get carried away in a dream."

"Yes it might be Sis, but this dream is really strange, the woman wrote Hana's name on the wall using her blood."

"It's enough sir don't continue anymore, father's story about Hana makes me goosebumps."

"Well, you've just got goosebumps hearing stories about Hana. I saw it coming straight away in a dream, that's why I had to hand over this pendant immediately."

Siska silently stared, not answering a word, she felt that something was wrong with the pendant. His mind began to be influenced by the story of Wira.

"Oh yes Sis, what about the development of the case investigation, have there been new findings?"

"Frankly I really hope we can identify girl X soon. And may she really be Hana, the girl in the locket."

Question Hero, break the silence, Siska tries to shift her mind to be more rational.

"That's kind of hard sir, we have to match the girl's DNA to one of her family members."

The hero feels deadlocked, girl X's case as if on the spot, without a clue that can lead them to the perpetrator who has the heart to kill him.

Wira was silent, then he remembered the case of young women who killed themselves in the mall.

"If the girl who died committed suicide in the mall, have you received any reports about Sis's family?"

"Have sir, his name was Renata born in Mojokerto, his address is In east Surabaya and during his life he lived with his parents."

" Ok, Good work Sis ...!"

"Then please send the address to my phonesell, after the apple I will visit his family. Hopefully we'll find a clue from them."

"Each commander."

"Oh yes, this locket you'll keep."

Siska could not refuse the remarks of her commander. With a frowny look, he put the pendant in a drawer and quickly left the office, where they were both left in the room.

The hero returned home before dusk, not as usual, after dinner he immediately laid his body on the bed, and a little later he immediately fell asleep.

The day changed, as planned yesterday Wira went to see the Renata family in East Surabaya area.

He arrived in front of a small, simple, yet beautiful house with several plants adorning the courtyard. The hero paused for a moment to make sure the house was in accordance with the address Siska gave.

"The house is small but looks comfortable."

The hero got out of the car, then greeted an old woman who was busy cleaning the yard while tidying up the flowers on the terrace.

"Excuse me ma'am sorry to interrupt, is this Renata's house?"

"Who is this child?"

"I'm the lady from the police, ma'am, can we talk to you for a second?"

The old woman invited the Hero into the living room, then went to the kitchen to make a glass of tea to entertain the Hero.

Shortly after, he returned to the living room while serving a glass of warm tea and a plate of homemade fried bananas.

"What's the problem, son?"

"My son's mind died a week ago, does he still leave a problem?

"Oh no ma'am, I just want to ask, did your daughter ever know a girl named Hana, maybe she had told me about Hana or maybe you knew a girl named Hana?"

Wira presented a photo of the pendant that contained a picture of a young woman who had been called girl X.

"Oh this child, of course I know him, Hana often visit here, even to stay overnight. The two of them had been best friends since they were in first grade of High School."

"What happened to Hana, girl?"

"I'm sorry about Mom, I just wanted to make sure, is this girl in the picture Hana that I know?"

"Yes, that's right, Hana has not been to this house for a long time. If not remembered wrong since two days before Renata died son Wira."

"So Renata hasn't seen Hana since two days before she died mom?"

"Did Renata ever tell you about Hana before she died mom?"

"Hana's an orphan, they're best friends from High School, even after college they both work at the same place."

"Hana is a smart, jolly, sociable, beautiful and independent child, so she likes many people."

"Before his departure Renata was often restless, not knowing why. But what I remember, Hana has also never played at home since that day. Though before he often came and even stayed here."

The hero listened to the old woman's words carefully. He began to get a point that he thought could be a clue.

"Did Renata ever complain about Hana's attitude to Mother, such as her behavior that made Renata upset, romance, or other problems?"

Wira tries to dig deeper about Hana and Renata, from her mother. During this time the police only knew that Renata's motive for ending his life was due to depression.

"There are no complaints about Hana, only Renata ever blames herself for introducing Hana to a rich married man."

"So Renata introduced Hana to a man who already had a wife mom, then how was Hana and Renata's relationship after that?"

"They're still good friends, even Hana seems happy. Since becoming the man's mistress, Hana and Renata's lifestyle has turned luxurious, like an upper-class woman."

"Renata even once invited mothers to live in apartments with them, but of course the mother refused because it was more comfortable to live here with many neighbors.

"If I may know, where are Hana and Renata's work?"

"If you don't remember wrong, they work in Naga Jaya group, son Wira."

Wira is increasingly convinced that Hana's death has something to do with the Black Rose club, because Naga Jaya Group is a large company owned by the Anton Wijaya family.

" Naga Group, a large company owned by the conglomerate Anton Wijaya is not a bu?"

"If the matter is not known exactly, you know this mother is a village, but surely the child's salary is very large."

"They both always meet the needs of the mother, more than needed, said Hana orphan. So he's already treating me as his parents."

"Then what makes Renata regretted introducing ana to the man mom?"

"Neither son, if that's not understood, but two days before he died he looked gloomy, as if he continued to be haunted by guilt towards Hana."

The old woman shed tears, while reminiscing about the friendship between Hana and Renata. He doesn't even know that Hana actually died earlier than Renata

"I'm sorry, for incising old wounds ma'am. But I have to say with great regret that Hana also passed away, even before Renata decided to end her life."

The woman's tears were unstoppable, she was completely overwhelmed with sadness, because her two children had been gone forever.

There is regret in the heart of Wira, but she is forced to do all this to uncover the mystery of Hana's death which is filled with peculiarities.

His watch shows at ten. The woman asked permission to return to the office. The old woman simply nodded then wiped her tears.
