Blackpoem/Black Poetry
Births
Karma had never thought of meeting that kind of thing in her life. He thought before about the Black Poem was just hoax news that was only made so that the mass media was excited again.
"And is it also possible that the death of the father was also due to the Black Poem?" Inner Karma.
He got up from his Monster Ducati bike. Staring at the Police Hospital Park that seemed to melt his sadness. Then to the sky that almost lost its afternoon.
Frans came with heavy and quick steps towards him.
"You want to come along?" frans asked him in front of Karma. His hand now carries Aditia's gift.
"You really want to do this?" Earlier inside, Frans said she would attend Amel's birthday. Aditia's child's birthday still has to take place in his opinion even without Aditia's presence.
"Of course."
"It's cruel."
"The detective world is cruel. Get used to. How do you want to come?"
"I'm coming along." Karma put on a helmet and rode on his motorcycle. Frans stroked to his car.
*****
"It's cruel" the word came back out of Karma's mouth when he saw Aditia's wife crying hysterically after Frans told her that Aditia was dead. The thirty-year-old woman is now sitting weakly on her park bench.
Frans looked at Karma, then approached the young man.
"Hows it? Are you sorry you're a cop now?" said Frans.
"No, at all," answered Karma flatly, "but is it okay to tell him now?"
"Of course not. Police wives must also be as strong as their husbands."
"But they're women."
"That's a risk if you want to be a cop's wife."
After Isya, the birthday party began. Just a simple birthday party in the middle room of the family. Just a few neighbors attended. The smell of candles from the birthday cake on which there is a number 6 is as fragrant as air in this room.
"Where's Dad, Mah?" amel looked at his mother.
Aditia's wife smiled, "Dad is still working, will come later," he said lying. Amel disappointed. Frans smiled bitterly at the sight. He thought for a moment if this happened to his family, and who was in the position of Amel was his son Alena. Karma himself was amazed why Aditia's wife was strong enough to withstand all this, he did not even show a face of sadness. Is it because of Amel?
"Let's sing her birthday song!" said one of the neighbors who was holding her three-year-old son. Everyone sang a birthday song. Including Karma which is actually not strong with this atmosphere.
Amel blew the fire in the candle and all clapped.
"Let's open a gift from Aditia" Frans said with a gaze staring at Aditia's wife. Aditia's wife nodded and took the pink gift from the table and opened it. Everybody's watching.
Aditia's wife's eyes glazed over the contents of the gift for Amel who is a purple unicorn doll. Amel now seems pleased with the prize.
"Before Amel ever said he wanted to buy a new doll," Aditia's wife told Frans.
*****
"That's the story" Karma ends his story about Amel. He is now in a cafe in Kuningan, South Jakarta, with his fiancee Krina.
"Pity of Amel" said Krina sadly.
"You must also keep the spirit of his poetry. I promise to end all this, so that your poems can be published again." After the case of Black Poetry in the mass media, all things that smelled of poetry were immediately prohibited by the government: Poetry books have been withdrawn, both in libraries and bookstores. The schools also abolished the Poetry. Also authors are prohibited from writing poetry again for an undetermined time. Just like what happened to Krina now.
"It is indeed the man who defiles poetry. The dark poetry of the ruler's critics also contains love there. Love for the people, the country, or even the ruler himself."Krina scowled at her Hot Cappuccino.
Karma grabbed Krina's hand and held it gently. "Smile dong, I promised you I'd sneeze all this."
"Yes my detective."
"When do you write a book about detectives?"
"Males." Krina. "By the way your face doesn't match up to be a detective."
"Then anyway. Less what?"
"less cold. Less serious."
"Do you like it when I get cold?" Krina didn't answer just smiling.
"You be careful. I'm scared now that I know you're a detective. The job is too dangerous."
"Quiet down. The important thing is you doain I keep on surviving."
*****
".... The second case occurred four months later," Karma continued, explaining, "Riko Rivaldi, a student of class XI IPS-3, died after reading a letter of poetry that he found under his stool. He died after a break or before the subjects began. His classmates were witnesses to his death." Karma stopped.
"The Lotus SMA which has the most Black Poetry cases. Two cases, but actually it can be said to be three cases because there are other cases that are not far from the place," explained Frans.
"We're going to do another investigation there" AJ said, "I'm going to send two of my men to spy."
"Your men?"
"You'll know later." Jemari AJ typing keyboard, "Added my men now means INU members to five people. But it is still lacking because the position left by Aditia is still empty. I've got the right person for the better position."
"Who?" Frans curious.
"He." AJ turned to Frans with one hand pointing at the computer screen. Frans stared at the screen and immediately scattered.
"Don't joke around" Frans said after learning that the person AJ wanted to join the INU Team was his own daughter, Alena, "my daughter isn't a cop, so how could she possibly understand Detective issues like this."
"He'll understand. Alena has incredible hacking skills. One of the best in Indonesia is not."
"What's a hacker here for? And how do you know that Alena's a hacker?"
"I'm a special talent observer, a golden seed like Alena where I might not know. I know Alena likes chocolate, I know Alena likes green. And now he's just graduating, right?"
"So you've been spying on Alena all this time?" Frans furious.
"Even Karma" AJ replied lightly. Karma sighed, feeling funny as well someone had noticed her all along. Even AJ may know about his relationship with Krina, or about his hobby with grasshoppers as a child. Who is this AJ, the mysterious man who every day always wears a strange mask.
AJ spoke again, "this case also has to do with hackers. You remember yesterday when the Email address that sent the Black Poetry message suddenly disappeared immediately after Aditia opened it. That's the Hacker you know."
"So behind this case is a Hacker?"
"Don't conclude too quickly. The investigation you've been doing for almost a year is just a little bit of evidence. It has not been concluded that this crime was committed by an individual or a group." AJ rests his back on the back of the chair and lifts his legs up on the table.
"Listen, I'm not gonna let Alena join me here. If you need Hackers there are still many other Hackers," Frans said.
"When you're appointed by Mr. Thirto, it means you have to submit to your leader in the INU team. Obey his orders."
"Then I'd better get out" Frans said.
"That means you're gonna let that villain go around and kill more people?" Urge AJ. Frans clenched his hands.
"But many other hackers, right?" frans is upset.
"I'm more interested in Alena. He'll be the key to revealing the truth of the case."
Frans was still worried. He wants the case to end but he also does not want to involve Alena into this terrible problem.
"I'll protect her Frans believe me" AJ explained, "you can shoot me in the head if anything happens to Alena. Frans was still silent. Likewise, Karma who had been paying attention.
"Alright, Alena can join, but she's still in London" Frans said.
"He's in Jakarta. He called me."
"How can you?" Frans was back in wonder.
"Actually I've been calling Alena from last night. He has also agreed to join the INU team."
"You fuckin' are AJ. Then why were you talking about my daughter before.
"Let's not be too surprised later." AJ laughed a little.
"Then what are the duties of the two of us, I feel like I haven't got a job here?" ask Karma.
AJ turned his chair to face Karma, "it happened that this morning I got a report of a young singer named Yuke Amane, saying he was terrorized by Black Poetry."
"Yuke Amane is that an idol?" Frans was surprised but his face looked as crisp as ever.
"You know."
"Of course, she used to be a member of the girl group Kitsune 7. Haha I love their songs so much and when they dance." Karma scrunched his forehead. How can a guy of Frans' age know about girl groups, while he just doesn't know anything.
"It's good to know, you two take care of him. Maybe you'll be able to find evidence there" AJ said.
