JOKO SPECIAL AGENT

077 - TRI PERSUADES JOKO.

In Aji's room, Tri is seen in Aji's room to chat together, about all the problems that are going on.

They stood next to each other, facing the window in Aji's room, staring at the scenery, the breadth of Jakarta from behind the window.

“Tri chairman!”

“Ya, Sir.”

“Aren't you fed up and tired of all this? You also know for yourself, how Miss Rina led our bureau to this second.”

“We've sacrificed too many lives. I'm not gonna let that happen again. NO!!”

Aji shouted loudly inside the room and looked at Tri who was standing next to him.

“I don't want any more casualties from any of my agents, including you, Chairman Tri. Answer my question honestly. What did Miss Rina command you?”

“Did he tell you to take Joko out secretly?” guess Aji seems right, because Tri just kept quiet, didn't answer.

Aji embraced Tri and said,

“Allow me to ask for your help, Tri.” Chairman

***

In the basement of the ARN building, where Joko is being held inside the cell, Tri is seen already in that place.

Together with the doctor and several cell guards, Tri is accompanied to meet with Joko.

It seems that Aji has asked Tri for help to meet Joko and talk about something they will plan to do.

From behind the cell's glass bars, Tri sees Joko exercising. Joko does pull ups that make her burly body look more beautiful. Likewise with Tri who looks envious to see Joko's burly body.

Joko who realized the arrival of Tri was stopped from his activities, re-wearing the plain t-shirt that had been provided.

Regardless of what happened, this time Joko allowed Tri to enter his cell, different from the two months that passed, Joko did not want to meet anyone at all.

When Tri went inside, Tri saw all the graffiti Joko on the surface of the wall.

Tri concluded himself, that Joko was investigating him even though he was in a holding cell.

Tri stepped up, circled the narrow cell room, and stopped right in front of the cell window. So did Joko who immediately sat on her bed.

“Jeez, Joko. You look healthier after a long period of rest. How you feeling? Have you improved? Have your hands been itchy, want to hit everyone again?”

Joko just kept quiet and looked at Tri with a cold look.

“Hahaha. Gosh darn. I'm just kidding, Joko. Why are you looking at me, like you want to kill me?”

“Why are you here? What do you want?” ask Joko flat.

“Today is a celebration, 60 days after Yuli's death. The poor girl. I feel sorry for remembering that. He's not even that bad, but who would have thought he died in such a horrible way.”

Tri pulled out a small chair, then sat on the chair, facing Joko.

“Have you heard the rumors spreading in the agency? Everyone said that you were the cause of Yuli.”'s death

“While there is already original footage showing that you are innocent, they still regard you as the cause of his death.”

Joko was still silent and kept staring at Tri's eyes, as if reading Tri's mind just by looking at his eyes.

“Be honest with me, Joko. What the hell is going on? Don't you remember it, too? Were you too late at the time?”

Joko smiled slightly and,

“Who is that? Who told you to come here? Is that Director Aji? Your way of speaking is very old. Did he tell you to provoke me and cause this trouble?”

Joko immediately finds out, that it was Aji who told Tri to meet with Joko.

Tri holds his head up and realizes that Joko is just missing a memory, but not with the witty wits he has.

“What am I saying right? Is that how he wants to lock me up here? Let me ask you back. What are you hiding from me?” joko.

“What do you mean? Hide what?” ask Tri who's pretending.

“If I were here. I can tell that Imron is dead. I'm sure you'd like to say it was one of them, when you went here.”

Tri stood up again, stepping to the window of the cell, because Joko already knew, before what Tri would do to her.

“Talk this to him,” said Joko who also stood up.

“Only I decide, whether I want to stay here or not, and whether or not I will return,”.

Unable to persuade Joko, Tri finally gave up and came out of the cell.

After Tri left the cell, Joko sat on the cot, rethinking everything that happened.

Outside the cell, Tri talks to the doctor who looks after and treats Joko, as long as she is inside the cell.

The two of them walked together, up from the basement floor to the clinic, where the basement entered.

The doctor began to tell her that Joko gets a call every day from a woman, who will also visit Joko, but is rejected by her.

“Do you know who that woman is, Doc?” ask Tri.

“Of course, I know. She was the woman who kept visiting him here. Although Joko refused to meet, but the woman continued to visit him once a week, or even two, three times.”

“Who's that woman's name?” ask Tri who made sure.

“None Tini. Oh my God, I remember his name because he comes here a lot. The young lady often visited him here. He looks very worried about Joko, if I look at the look on his face.

“Ohh. Apparently so. Thank you, Doc. I'll excuse you.”

Tri immediately left after exiting the basement of the building.

***

A few days after that, Joko finally decided to get out of the cell, returning home to her apartment.

On a clear morning, Joko walks out of the ARN building, towards the billboard, where Imron was found hanged.

For a moment Joko stopped her steps, looking up at the billboard behind the tall building.

Some time Joko saw, finally Joko immediately left the place.

***

In the evening at the residence Tini, seen Tini who just returned home, after a day of work.

Tini was very surprised when she saw Joko who was already inside her house. Joko sat on Tini's sofa, the place she used to rest at the time.

“Pak?” tini said, a little scared.

“Sit!” I want to talk to you.

Tini took a chair, then sat on it.

“I can't stop wondering, what's your reason for doing that. Who'sis that? Who is the one who rules you?”

Joko goes back to discussing when Tini says that Yuli is awake, right before Joko is arrested.

Tini just kept quiet, lowered her head, not knowing what to say.

“When I was in the cell, you kept visiting, even though I refused to see you. There must be something you wanted to say at that time. What is Director Aji?”

Tini finally nodded, because Joko's words were true.

“At that time, I left the control room after I spoke to you on the phone, and it seems Director Aji knew about it. He was waiting for me at the exit when I was going to leave from there.”

“He led me into a closed room. In the room, it shows a photo of a middle-aged man, and says, that my father is still alive. Somehow he was able to figure out the thing I've been covering up.”

“He said that the man who was in the photo, most likely was my father. Director Aji also said. That my father has changed his face, with it, our agency cannot identify him.”

“She also knows that I've been helping you all along, Sir.”

Crossing Joko's mind was Son. Joko thinks maybe Putra is Tini's father who disappeared and has changed his face.

Because Imron once told him, that Putra was a person who had been in the agency, before they joined the agency for sure.

“What is it?” ask Joko flat.

“Ya.”

“Good. I understand.” Joko nodded her head without showing any expression.

“Are you not mad at me, sir? Don't you feel betrayed?” said Tini who felt very guilty to Joko.

“Why do I feel that way? About Imron's case, I think I should investigate and maybe I'll need your help. Would you like to help me?” joko.

“What? I mean, why do you still trust me to help you, sir? After everything I've done to you. Do you still trust me?” ask Tini.

“I didn't say I trusted you. I said, I need your help. Whether to lie to me again or not, that's your business,”

“Good. I'll do it for you.”

Tini nodded in understanding.

“Good. I'll go first.”

Joko stands up, picks up her backpack, then exits Tini's house. Tini also drove Joko to the front of her house and saw her walk away.
