ILLUSIANA (CONTRACT MARRIAGE)

CHAPTER 65

In his study, Bramanto stood upright in front of the table. Both hands were folded in front of his chest. His face was tense and his eyes flashed a glint of wrath.

He stared one by one the faces of five employees who stood down. They did not dare to even lift their faces under Bramanto's horror gaze.

“How dare that Merry threaten me,” he said in a cold and cynical voice.

The anger in his heart grew increasingly rumbling ready to explode at any time. He looked back at the phone screen in the hand with a raging feeling.

It's me, Merry. Want to talk directly to Mr. Bramanto. There's something I'm going to tell you. Significant. Come quickly and release me from the custody of the South Jakarta Sector Police. If not, I will dismantle your illicit business. 

That's a short message from Ms. Merry that was sent through her son Priska's private number.

“Quick call Berlan here. Now too!” Bramanto's voiceover on the five employees.

All compacts took out their phones and dialed the number of the person in question Bramanto.

“Hey, you fools! One of the only ones who contacted Berlan!” bramanto is back.

The five employees immediately stopped the movement. And glanced at the one that stood to the far right and gave the code to do what Bramanto told.

Fifteen minutes passed. Still under the gripping atmosphere in naungi haunted gaze and grunt anger Bramanto. The waiting finally came. Berlan, Bramanto's lawyer walked into the room in a hasty move.

“Good day, Sir. Sorry I was late,“ said Berlan in a frightened tone, standing a few meters opposite Bramanto.

“Try you read this.” Bramanto threw the phone that he had been holding in the direction of Berlan. With a swift Berlan caught him.

Carefully Berlan read the contents of the message sent by Ms. Merry. His forehead was furrowed with eyebrows that were clinging to each other.

“Merry? Who is he, sir? Is one of our ‘girl’?” tanya Berlan was serious.

“Not, I've dealt with this guy a few times. He sold his stepson to me. But the boy ran away and now he owes me to return the money he has received,” Bramanto said flatly with his trademark heavy voice.

“From his words it seems like he is threatening you, Sir.”

“Yes, he threatened me. Because he also knows a lot about our side business.”

Berlan nodded to understand the direction of Bramanto's conversation.

“Task you, try to check this guy in police custody, find out why he could have the guts to threaten me like this. Do not let him open his mouth to the authorities about our business. Can run out I later,” orders Bramanto with round eyes growled staring at Berlan.

“Good, Sir.” Berlan nodded respectfully.

“Recommon run. Today I am also waiting for the answer.”

“Good, Sir. I leave first.” Berlan nodded respectfully once more, then rushed out of the room.

Bramanto stared intently at the five employees who had been bowed with their mouths tightly clenched.

“You wait for my next assignment. Now out!” bramanto's orders were firm.

The five nodded obediently, then went out and left Bramanto alone in the room who was struggling with anger and wrath in his head.

*****

The police station.

Berlan, Lawyer envoy Bramanto sat faithfully waiting for Bu Merry to be called into the jailhouse.

Before long, Ms. Merry with a haggard and pale-looking face came, flanked by two female police officers. Then, unsolicited, Merry sat right in front of Berlan.

Bramanto's lawyer looked at Merry with a sharp and question mark.

He has never met Merry. But from Bu Merry's sinister-looking and cruel face, he was able to deduce what kind of person this Bu Merry was.

No wonder this woman can relate to people like Bramanto.

“Whose you?” merry asked, opening his voice. Staring straight and coldly at Berlan.

“I Berlan, Bramanto's lawyer. You know Bramanto?” Do not ask back.

“Of course.”

“I came sent Bramanto to answer your request via SMS you sent.”

Merry smiled broadly at it. He had expected Bramanto to be scared and threatened by the message that Priska sent this morning when Priska visited him.

“Good, if once you come to free me today, right?” ma'am Merry asked pleased with the fluffy smile.

“I could have applied for a suspension of detention for you. But I want to know first what causes you to be detained here,” said Berlan still with a flat and cold voice.

“Who reported it? Your stepson's that?”

“Not, but her husband. Her name is Ferdian Adiwijaya.”

“Then what does this have to do with Bramanto? Why do you dare to threaten him?”

“Heh Dude, there is obviously! I don't have to tell you at length. I'm sure Bramanto would have known, so he sent you here, right.”

Lawyer Berlan nodded in understanding what Ms. Merry meant.

“Then how far do you know the Bramanto business that you mentioned in your SMS? He is just a logistics entrepreneur.”

Bu Merry laughed freely making the people around him spontaneously turn to him.

“Ah, Stop. Don't be naive. The logistics company is just a cover. He is much more interested in taking care of his esex-esex business, Dude,” said Bu merry plain and loud without caring about the people around him.

Berlan glanced to his right left watching the police officer who was standing a few meters beside him. He was afraid that one of them would hear Bu Merry's words just now. But it seems that the two officers were busy watching the other prisoners.

“So can't I come out today too?” press Merry's mom impatient.

“I can't decide yet. Because I see you're just messing around. And I think this meeting is a waste of time. Because there's no basis you threaten Bramanto.”

Stand up, ready to leave Merry. But his movements were forced to stop when Mrs Merry threw his harsh threat.

“I'm not messing around, Lawyer. I have plenty of evidence of Bramanto's illicit business. If you do not fulfill my request, be prepared. I'm going to get it all out to the police. Remember, now I am very close to the complaints room.”

Slowly sitting back down, he felt sure that Merry was serious about his words.

“Good. What is your request?” tanya Berlan finally.

“OK. First, free me from here. Second, release all my debts to Bramanto,” said Bu Merry firmly challenging Berlan's eyes.

Berlan nodded in understanding. Then smiled cynically at a glance.

“Oke, I will convey your request to Bramanto. But I don't guarantee that he will fulfill it. You know, it's not that easy to ask someone like Bramanto.”

“I am sure he will fulfill it,” said Bu Merry confidently.

“Have, I can't give you an answer now. Excuse me," said Berlan immediately got up from his seat.

“Hey Remember, I cannot linger holding the evidence, loh!” Bu Merry half-screamed at Berlan who had taken a few steps to leave him.

But Berlan did not bother him. He kept walking quietly passing out of the room.

***

Still in the car park of the Sector Police Station, Berlan contacted Bramanto through his car. And relayed everything he heard directly from Ms. Merry.

“So how, sir? Looks like he is serious about the threat,” Berlan told Bramanto on the other end of the phone.

“Fill what he asked for. Next let me take care of that guy.”

“Good, Sir. I'll take care of the suspension of his detention today.“

Bramanto hung up his phone first.

Armed with the consent of his client, Berlan re-entered the police station to take care of the suspension of detention for Ms. Merry.

An hour passed, Berlan was still patiently waiting in the service room. A few minutes later, Merry appeared with a smile and without wearing a prisoner's shirt again.

Merry's mother was accompanied by Berlan out of the police station. Both of his hands were stretched out breathing the air of freedom.

“Thank you, Mr. Lawyer," he said with a small oddity.

“Don't thank me, it's not free. Where's the evidence you said earlier. Leave it to me.”

“Quiet first, Patience, dong. It was all stored in my files at home. I'll definitely leave it to you.“

“Alright, I'll take you home all I'll take the evidence file.”

“Hmm .... Okay. Come on,” replied Bu Merry relaxed. Then enter the car Berlan.

Berlan also drove his car quickly, following the directions given by Ms. Merry who is now sitting next to him.
