Kancil Trio

CHAPTER 56

Story is still Flashback, though,

     Budiono was standing on the balcony of his room on the third floor. He saw a familiar car pull over in front of the front gate of his house. Gunawan got out of the car. Then the car drove back from his yard. Budiono quickly - quickly down to meet his son. Want to know why Gunawan can join Yusuf's car.

" Gunawan, Papi just saw you ride home in the car ?!"

" Yes, Pih. Motor Gunawan broke down while in Bandung, there happened to be Mr. Yusuf who kindly allowed Gunawan to come home."

" Pih, Gunawan's motorbike is in the workshop. Later when it is done will be entrusted to the office of the Bandung branch of Papi."

    Budiono was actually a bit was - was when he saw Yusuf's car stopped in front of the gate of his house earlier.

" What are you telling me about Mr. Yusuf on the way home ?" Budiono was eager to know what they were talking about. He was afraid that Joseph would talk about himself with Gunawan.

" Yes the story of the problems faced by Gunawan, Pih."

" You told Mr. Yusuf everything ?" Budiono still scratched his son.

" Yes, about Gunawan being slandered impregnating Maya. Maya single-handedly faces the scorn of her neighbor, having become pregnant out of wedlock. Because his father died after his mother who died one year ago." 

" You're telling me that Maya's father is dead ?" Budiono was so surprised.

" Yes, his father who died was found on the emergency staircase of Hotel Matahari, a few months ago."

Derrr

    Like being struck by lightning, Budiono was so shocked and afraid. When he heard his son's words. Sweat began to appear in the pores of the skin of his face. His face suddenly turned pale.

" What does Mr. Yusuf say about his father Maya's death ?"

" Yusuf said that all who live will feel their name dead."

     Budiono began to feel his body tremble. He stood up and went back to his room.

" Oh, yes Pih. Mr. Yusuf was with his friend who was a police officer. He suggests reporting Joni to people's search lists."

    Budiono felt his head become sick, as if he had been hit by Godam. Sweat had also washed over his body. He climbed the stairs with heavy steps. After arriving at his room, he called his friend who was also a police officer.

" Baharudin, what should I do?"

" What's up "

" So Gunawan told about the death of his father Maya to Joseph. And it just so happened that he was with a cop."

" What's the name of that cop ?"

" I didn't ask whose name was. What is clear is that he is a police officer who is carrying out his duties to deliver Yusuf to Bandung, today."

" Ok, I'll check later "

" What if it goes to the unloading ?"

" Let's just be calm, everything will be safe."

" I trust you all." Budiono ended the phone call with Baharudin.

                 * * * * * * *

     Five days after Gunawan's return from Bandung. Budiono got word from Gunawan that the police who helped him was found dead by the side of the road. Police are suspected to be victims. Because the motor vehicle he used was not found. Gunawan was devastated by the incident. Whereas yesterday afternoon Gunawan met Awan and thanked him. Because thanks to the police, Gunawan can find Joni, and put him in prison for rape and unpleasant actions, and give false testimony or slander Gunawan.

Budiono then went to Baharudin's house and asked about the problem of a police case.

" Baharudin did you kill a cop named Awan ?"

" Yes, it might be more appropriate that your sister, Bagus, executed her. Cloud, we're gone because he already knows that Damar died not by accident, but by murder."

" What do you mean ?"

" Where do you know that ?"

" I heard it myself. When he was calling someone in the office three days ago."

" But why did you kill him !"

    Budiono felt angry about the actions done by his friend and sister. Because in order to cover up one mistake he had to make another. Though with Damar's death, making Budiono's life is not calm.

" Because my name will also be dragged in this case. And I don't want to go to jail."

" Well, you've got the evidence that the police have obtained."

" It was just a notebook that put together the events of the day. And he's also suspicious that the one who's been stalking Yusuf is the killer of Damar."

" I'm so upset, why is this the way it is now !"

" It's only natural that if we want to cover up our crimes, then we will make a new crime to cover them up."

" Then enough to get here. We end it all !" Budiono will no longer be able to make new crimes again. Now he resigned when someone reported it.

" Can't, we have to finish everything. So that we're all safe. You are calm because there are Bagas' men who keep watch over Joseph for twenty-four hours.

* * * * * * *

Budiono that day was sitting with Dewi in the backyard chair while enjoying the view of the flower garden that was blooming. Then Gunawan heard calling him, and told him that Yusuf and his wife had died in an accident while returning from Surabaya. And he will go to his house.

     Hearing that, Budiono called Baharudin and asked about the accident.

" I heard that Joseph died in an accident ?"

" Yes, and I did it. Because he started to investigate the matter that happened to him late on. And before he knows it any further then it's better if we just get rid of it as soon as possible."

" I don't like it when you play with someone's life like it's meaningless."

" Hei Budiono do you know that Good asked me to eliminate Yusuf if there was a chance. And he'll give me a lot of money."

Flashback.

Everyone who was in the room was silent to drift will be Budiono's story. Cantika could not stem her tears that had accumulated on her beautiful eyelids.

" Why didn't Papi ever tell Mami about this ?"  Ask the Goddess while shedding tears.

" Because Papi was in fear."

" You're the fool I've met." Said Alex sharply.

     Hearing Alex's words, Budiono did not accept the insult to him.

" What do you mean ?"

" You want to know the truth ?" Alex opened the laptop he had been carrying.

" This is a fact that escapes the truth of your mistake" Alex said, revealing the contents of his laptop.
