Canticles

76. Two Proofs

After a moment of silence, Typhoon looked back at Gama and asked him to continue reading.

" It's still my shock after knowing there is a powder making firecrackers made of ingredients to destroy the place of business people..," said Gama while fingering his thumping chest.

" Only a mentally ill person who has evil thoughts and confesses to it all. The mentally ill man is definitely Hamidah the same Codot. Because they didn't want to take the risk, they involved Reni." Rex said, clenching his hand.

" So Reni was also a victim because she did that under threat. But we don't know what happens next. Try to continue Gam...," Pinta Taufan, which is owned by Gama.

The day after the explosion, the kiosk where Reni and Hamidah worked was crowded with buyers. They came not to eat but to see firsthand the location of the viral explosion in all the media of the homeland.

Reni, Hamidah and friends of fellow employees at the kiosk were kept busy so they could not chat. It benefits Reni because she does not have to communicate with Hamidah.

Reni appears depressed whenever a stall visitor asks about the chronology of the explosion at the chicken noodle stall. They are journalists, police and social media activists. Reni was even more upset that they asked the same thing over and over again.

In addition, Reni was also plagued with guilt when she had to remember she was the cause of the explosion at the stall.

The baso kiosk that used to close at five in the afternoon is now closed much later, around nine or ten in the evening. And that made Reni very exhausted. Therefore Reni became unfocused and several times broke the bowl or glass while working.

Hamidah showed his fangs. He could not help but yell at Reni and scold her like a boss if Reni made a mistake. Of course it makes Reni more depressed and embarrassed. But Reni could only cry silently and got the treatment from Hamidah.

Reni wants to rebel and fight back, but she remembers Hamidah's threat. Reni is afraid that Codot will hurt her just as he did the male employee who tried to remind Hamidah. Because of the support of the lover made Hamidah act arbitrarily to his friends.

Previously, Reni had witnessed the bawdy actions of Hamidah and Codot. They do int*m in the employee toilet and it's very disgusting. Again Hamidah did not dare to reprimand or report to the owner of the business baso for fear.

When keg*laan Hamidah exceeded the limit, it was when Reni accidentally found financial data belonging to the kiosk. From the report sheet that fell on the floor, Reni knew that Hamidah was embezzling.

" My friends and I never got a bonus from the Boss. Apparently Hamidah falsified the data of the kiosk's income and took it for his own enjoyment. It can't be faded and must be reported." Reni murmured as she put the sheet of paper under her clothes.

" What did Lo get into that shirt, Ren...?!" suddenly Hamidah's voice sounded thunderous behind Reni.

" It's nothing. I'm really dressed again dal*m I aja kok..," said Reni while looking at Hamidah bravely.

" Lied...!" hamidah said he did not believe.

" It's up to you to believe it or not." said Reni as she passed beside Hamidah.

Suddenly Hamidah blocked Reni's steps and forced her to undress.

" I just believe that Lo is taking off Lo's clothes now" said Hamidah.

" Do not g*la Hamidah !. I'm not going to let you take off my shirt...!" reni said loudly to attract the attention of fellow employees of the kiosk baso.

Hamidah also released his grip on the blouse that Reni was wearing as everyone approached them. Then Hamidah stomped his feet and stepped away from Reni and her friends.

After getting evidence of Hamidah's crime, Reni intends to tell their boss. But unfortunately Reni's intention is known to Hamidah. Hamidah calls Codot to finish off Reni. Codot agreed to Hamidah's request unconditionally.

Reni who knows he will be harmed by Hamidah and Codot was undaunted. He told his sister that if anything happened to him, the younger brother would have to hand over the evidence he had collected to the police.

" The evidence is in the big bag. It's in the locker at the kiosk, then Brother take it and leave it with you.", said Reni.

Unfortunately, Reni failed. That night Hamidah and Codot managed to catch up and snatched the bag containing all evidence of Hamidah's crimes.

" It's true, '" said Gama, turning back Lilian's book.

" yes. It's empty there's nothing else.., '" said Gama.

" There was a recording of Reni's voice before she died. Lo hasn't opened the tape yet" Rex said.

" Athaghfirullah aladzim, until I forget I..," Taufan said as he patted his forehead to make Rex and Gama look at each other with a wry smile.

Then Typhoon started playing the recording of Reni's voice. But unfortunately, Reni's soft voice was not heard clearly to complicate the police including Rex and Gama.

But when the sound of the distel recording with a special tool, it was clear what sentences Reni said towards the end of his life.

" Hamidah is the mistress of the boss of the chicken noodle business. The boss of the chicken noodle promised to marry Hamidah as his second wife on the approval of his first wife. Hamidah deliberately applied for a job at the baso kiosk in order to meet and collect the promise of the boss of the chicken noodle..," said Reni Lirih.

" Don't talk much first Ms. Reni. Breathing well, slowly but regularly yes...,"

Lilian's voice sounded soft and soothing. Perhaps at that moment Lilian heard Reni's rapid and irregular roar of breath.

There was a rustling sound. Maybe at that time Reni shook her head and asked Lilian not to cut her words.

" Hamidah is angry that the boss of the chicken noodles broke his promise and married another woman to be his second wife. Hamidah makes a plan to destroy the chicken noodle stall for revenge as the boss.", said Reni increasingly shrewd and almost inaudible.

" Add the volume...!" typhoon Command.

" Well ready, and...!" sahut Taufan's men while raising the volume of Reni's voice recording.

" Hamidah also sent a meal to the boss of the chicken noodles, but apparently failed. Daaan..," Reni's voice vanished changed with the sound of breath faltering.

Suddenly Lilian's trembling voice sounded clear. Apparently at that time Lilian tried to lead Reni to say the word tahlil while trying to hold back tears.

" Follow Me Yes Ms Reni. Laa ilaha ilallah.", Lilian whispered carefully.

" Ma. ka.sih sus. terrr Li. lii. Laa.. ila.. ha. ilallah." said Reni with great difficulty.

After that there was no sound. Only a rustling sound was heard and a moment later the recording ended.

" G*la is very. Just because of the blind jealousy Hamidah could finish off people who do not know anything, " said Gama while rubbing his face violently.

" We'll find out who the woman the boss married the chicken noodle and why he broke the promise to Hamidah. If he is proven to be involved, he also has to bear the risk..," said Taufan was taken by his men.

" Agreed...!" sahut Rex and Gama.

" I don't think Lilian could have an idea this brilliant. Two pieces of evidence that Lilian collected became important evidence of Hamidah's crimes. Without this evidence it would be difficult and it would take longer for the police to uncover the case" Taufan said in awe.

" Thank God, Brother I am great." said Rex proudly.

"Please express our thanks to Lilian ya Rex..," said Taufan with a sincere smile.

" God willing..," said Rex quickly.

Then Taufan brought his men to pick up the boss of chicken noodles who had an affair with Hamidah. The typhoon wanted that night also that everyone involved in the explosion of the chicken noodle stall that took dozens of lives could soon be caught.
