Anton's Trap

POV Djiwa

Rendi and I rushed to the place where Anton was held captive by my two bodyguards. While on the road, Rendi and I devised a plan for how to get Anton to confess.

Rendi turned my car around in a house that was only guarded by a security guard. I asked the security to keep what I did from Papa a secret. Don't let Papa know and screw up all my plans.

The room where Jamal is located is deliberately separated from Anton. I don't want Jamal who I've worked so hard to convert to change his mind if I meet Anton.

Jamal is now in one of the comfortable guest rooms. Room with AC cooler and bathroom inside makes Jamal feel at home. Moreover, both of my bodyguards give him good food every day. Jamal is only asked to listen to lectures every day and diligently pray and teach.

At first Jamal refused, but when my bodyguard played a video about his daughter, Jamal fell silent. "You want your son to know he has a bad father?" threaten one of the bodyguards who accidentally recorded the video and sent it to me. Jamal is not warted. He chose to repent and ask Allah for forgiveness for all his sins.

I have no plans to see Jamal today. I'm going to see Anton, the real killer from Purnomo. If it wasn't for the sake of the Rose, I wouldn't have bothered to investigate the death of someone I didn't know. Let the police work alone.

I had to clear the name of the Rose so that Papa and Mama would not look at the Rose with one eye. I have to prove that the Roses are not Purnomo's killers even though I know the road I'm going through is winding.

"Where is he?" I asked Rendi. Without needing to mention a name, Rendi knew that I meant Anton.

"In the music studio. He still won't confess" Rendi reported.

"We'll see when he keeps his mouth shut!" I picked up the mask that was on the front door of the music room. I purposely prepared that my face and Rendi no one would recognize.

I entered the dark music room. Anton was sitting on a chair with a battered face. Must be two bodyguards that did it. I can't wait for Anton to wake up.

"Water flush!" my orders.

"Good, Boss!" A water-filled dipper splashed onto Anton's face. He seemed to wake up when he was forcefully awakened.

Anton was initially still confused but now looks at me while squinting his eyes. One of the bodyguards turned on the lights. Intentionally so that whoever is held in this room cannot recognize me.

"Take me off!" said Anton.

I kept quiet and stood in my place while folding my hands together. I noticed Anton's face that was like a top-level market thug. He must have had power until he was so hard to catch. Slippery like an eel.

"Heh, release me! If my men manage to nangkep lo, I'm sure that you will fate like Purnomo!" threaten her.

"Oh yeah?" I smiled at the threat. I pulled up the chair near Anton and sat down casually. "Before you make me like Purnomo, I will make you find Purnomo first!" threaten back.

Anton ignited his emotions. He tried to untie her and beat me up. Of course my bodyguard doesn't stay silent. The lashing of Anton's hair and the sound of his threat is able to make the hair goosebumps. "Polite by the way, will I just make your tongue a memory?"

I raised my hand, coded that my bodyguard had to control his emotions. I'm gonna negotiate with Anton. How to make Anton penitent seems not to work. Anton is not Jamal, as Rendi said, Anton is the real killer.

"Gue's not here to threaten you. I just want us to work together" I said calmly. "Gue will pay you dearly if you open your mouth who told you to do all this?"

"Yes make your life while in prison. Lo is stupid. In prison, you need money too. Rather than you in prison not having money, you better have money, can buy cigarettes with rice wrap," I replied in a mocking tone.

Anton speechless. "I'm not going to jail. Is there any evidence that I committed an act that broke the law? There's no, is there?" Anton feels in the wind now.

Damnit damnit!

I need to be calm and not lose to the threat. "The proof can be made. Do not think of me. Just think about yourself. Can't you get out of this room alive?"

Anton smiled with intent. "Certainly can Mr. Angkasa Djiwa."

I was shocked when he found out who I was. How could he know my identity? I looked at both the bodyguards and Rendi, both shaking their heads which meant they never revealed my identity to anyone.

"Why? You wonder how I know who you are? Easy, your face is famous. When you caught Jamal, I got away. I heard your name called by the police on duty. I even know where ... The rose is still." Anton laughed triumphantly.

Anger surrounds me. I stood up and held my fist against Anton's face until the seat he was sitting on fell. When I wanted to kick him, Rendi held me back. "Wa, relax, Wa! He wants to provoke your emotions!"

My breath was already hunting, hearing him mention the name Rose my emotions peaked. I even wanted to kill him with my own hands.

As hard as I can to hold my emotions. Right what Rendi said, Anton tried to play my emotions. Anton has rekindled my emotions. "Why? Still need me alive?"

Rendi is still holding me back who wants to beat her again. Hearing Anton's laughter makes me sick.

"You guys think it's that easy to catch an Anton? It's been a few hours you've kept me in this room. Soon, my men who have been following you will come. Ready for the package that's coming soon?" threat Anton's.

My two bodyguards looked at each other and acted quickly. Both of them ran forward securing the location. Me and Rendi were also on standby.

Rendi went outside and checked things out. I waited inside with Anton blabbering like a packager. "Excuse me, package. COD. Ready for the money!"

I was about to beat him up but Rendi entered in a hurry. "Wire, Wa. A lot of Anton's men outside the compound!"

Anton laughed again. "Good fun. Let's die together. Oh yeah, what about roses?"

"Well, we need to leave this house as soon as possible!" Rendi pulled me to leave Anton for my safety.

Not forgetting Rendi opened the door to Jamal's room and invited him to run away with us. "Hurry out if you want to survive!"
