I'm Not Him

88

Rania stands at the door of the police station, accompanied by a formally dressed Ramadan. He hooked his hand on Ramadan's arm which always held his hand.

"Come on!" bring Ramadan.

Rania smiled and followed him.

Everyone complies with Rania's request. Despite being desperate to protect her sister, Vero can't force her wish for Rania to stay at Ruby's house.

His request to only go with Ramadan when giving a statement was he let it go. Not without reason, there was something that Rania was hiding. Everything he would say was asked not to be told to his family.

Saga accepts that, though she doesn't yet know what really happened. Saga is waiting in her room. When one of her friends gave a code that Rania came, she immediately tidied up and rushed to see him.

"Hi!" greeting Saga while blushing from tripping.

"Well, you're so excited" Ramadhan commented.

"Hehe, let's head this way" Saga invited.

They went towards the room for Rania to give her statement. Saga shifts the chair for Rania. Ramadhan looked at him in wonder. Saga distracts Ramadan by asking him to wait outside.

Rania waited for a while after Saga and Ramadhan came out. Alone in a room that has been installed cameras to record all his statements.

Rania swallowed her saliva, today she had to tell of that creepy moment. A time when she desperately wished there was a miracle that saved her as usual. But until the end he experienced all that, there was no second chance.

Rania squeezed both her hands on her lap. Saga saw it behind the two-way mirror. Then an investigator asked him to come in. Saga rejects her, she is afraid that Rania is embarrassed to tell her everything in front of her.

The investigator came in and sat down in front of Rania.

"Hi, I'm Ramon. Are you ready?" ask Ramon.

"Yes, I'm ready" replied Rania.

Rania started telling me.

" I'm driving to the Harapan Indah housing. I'm going to Bondan Atmajaya's house to give her moral support after I find out that she came to the police station to see Ryan, the one who told her mother Anita Atmajaya all the crimes. Because he left his car there. Saga said it"

" On the way, a car stopped me. I was surprised, I tried to calm down and was about to contact my brother, Vero Wardhana Subagja. But because they broke the windshield, I didn't have time to reach him. I lost my phone, too."

" The men of great stature dragged me to his car, they tied my arms and legs and closed my eyes and stuffed my mouth with a roll of cloth"

"At the stop, a man told me to be taken straight to a room. I know it's a room because they open and close the door clearly"

"I was thrown and sat down, at that moment I only heard the voice of the person I knew who he was even though my blindfold had not been opened. He whispered and said that he was very happy because he was going to pass this night with me"

Rania stops and rubs her tears, she drinks water from the bottle Ramon gave her.

"He must have been very scared" said Saga, who looked at him with a feeling of kasian.

He also remembers the moment he told her that Bondan left his car.

Suddenly comes Vero and Dila also Arumi. They had told Saga to keep it a secret from Rania. They wanted to know what Rania was hiding.

"Am I late?" ask Vero.

"I don't think so, he's just getting started" Saga replied.

She looked at Dila with a deep gaze, she was also seen thinking hard at the thought of a secret that Rania did not want her family to know.

" I know it's Davin, because we did work together at My Spaghety's restaurant for two years. He often came and suddenly stood beside me while I was working, then whispered"

" He took off my blindfold and said that he was very upset with me. He was hoping that I would accept his feelings. But because he knows I like other people he tries to erase his feelings. But the reason wasn't that, he was annoyed that a few months ago he met me at a discotheque"

Vero and Arumi frowned in disbelief that Rania was into the discotheque. Saga looked at their reaction, then saw Dila's reaction which widened her eyes.

"She said I humiliated her by saying that she knew me well. And pushed him until he fell in front of everyone there. Then he saw me go with Yudi and do that in the car. He cursed me because I behaved differently when I met him a few weeks ago"

"So this is revenge for that?" ask Ramon.

"The woman is not me. I'm not him, who humiliated him at the discotheque. Because I never went there. Besides I've never had any relationship with Yudi, he's just the chef at my place of work"

"Who does he mean?" ask Ramon again.

Vero and Arumi looked at Dila in annoyance. Dila just stared at Rania with eyes that shed tears because she did not think that was the reason she was raped.

Saga just understood with Rania's intentions about things that her family does not want to know. He nodded in understanding.

"She's my twin sister, and I'm grateful that didn't happen to her"

"Then?" ask Ramon.

"Davin hit me as I cried and shook my head because I was trying to say that the person was not me. He kept telling me he was upset about doing that in a car in the parking lot. Then he kicked me until my mouth was blown away"

Rania paused again for a moment, she rubbed her tears that kept falling unstoppable.

Vero drowned on the floor hearing all that. Arumi tried to calm him down. While Dila felt tight and guilty because he was actually the reason for this incident to happen.

"I begged him with my mouth that smelled of blood. But he still ripped my shirt off. I told you that the woman who did that to him wasn't me. I'm not him, I'm not him. But.he didn't hear, he kept his towel open and did it to me"

Rania's crying broke. Ramon held her hand to give her moral support.

Vero heard her cries, he was eager to hug her. But he held it in order to hear everything and did not make Rania hide something again.

Saga shed tears as she heard Rania say the last sentence. She wiped her tears and looked back at Rania who was still crying.

"I'm sorry I had to ask you this, but how many times did he do it to you?" ramon asked after Rania's cries began to subside.

"I don't remember, because after he did that, I hit my head against the wall. I was desperate and wanted to end those times" Rania stuttered.

"Have you succeeded and been unconscious?" ask Ramon.

"No. I didn't make it" Rania cried again.

Ramon sighed, he himself could not ask Rania any more questions.

"I remember that disgust. I still remember it today" Rania said, wiping away her tears.

He seemed to be adjusting his breathing and was determined not to cry anymore.

Ramon closed the file, he's already logged everything. This recording will be given at the trial. Rania pleaded not to attend and they arranged it.

"Alright Rania, thank you for strengthening yourself to remember everything and tell it. I hope you can open a new chapter in your life. Excuse me, Saga will pick you up" Ramon said.
