Lantern Behind The Bars

Dad's busted

*****

Finally my mind pressure was slightly lessened after finishing the School Exam.

Now that I can focus on investigating the crimes of Aunt Isma, I can also calm down if you are at home, because there are people who keep you at home.

I always monitor the CCTV cameras, I see 2 weeks this husband Aunt Isma is still at home, but today like her husband Aunt Isma is going to go to work again out of town, seen from CCTV, Aunt Isma was like saying goodbye and drove her husband to the front gate of her house.

At the same time, the next day my father left. I was really surprised why coincidentally the same thing happened. When Aunt Isma's husband left, my mother's husband left too.

'Can't be a coincidence, right? Ah it may be a coincidence, bodo very deh.' I thought. Not wanting to make my own head become dizzy from thinking strange things.

After the father left, Aunt Isma also seemed to go out more often, sometimes 2 days not home, 1 day home.

The same thing still happened, my father came and went to the dark house, but so far I have not seen my father bring anyone into the house. Aunt Isma also does not make any more tantrums against mother.

Today I plan to spy on my father, then as usual I leave my mother to the store clerk, namely Mang Barus and Mang Nanang, I believe in them because they have been following you since you were still pioneering.

Mang Nanang and Mang Barus are the most loyal employees of the mother and have never made a fatal mistake or harm the mother so far.

After the safety of the mother I made sure it was safe, I also went to follow the father according to the direction of the GPS that was active on my father's phone.

I saw my father go to that dark house, and then I immediately followed him there, but I stopped first at the mosque not far from the entrance of the Gang, to change clothes to make my disguise more perfect.

Then I sat on the sidewalk outside the mosque waiting for public transport, while I checked the CCTV on my phone screen.

But I was presented with a surprising sight.

I saw you coming with a woman into the house and that woman was none other than Aunt Isma.

They were seen making out in the living room while chatting and eating a few snacks, then went into the room and they began to take off each other one by one their clothes and then had a husband and wife relationship there.

I reflexively covered my own mouth with my palm.

Their relationship was clearly recorded by CCTV cameras installed in the gap of the room's door roster.

I quickly turned off my phone screen.

It was like being struck by lightning during the day, I was really surprised and also disappointed, I felt like I wanted to be mad blindly. 

It turns out that all this time the father and Aunt Isma had an affair with each other, I now understand why the father went along with Aunt Isma's husband and at that time Aunt Isma also left her house, but either always go where for that long, because this embarrassing incident has only been exposed 1 time and what might be the reason Aunt Isma harmed the mother is also related to this problem, it remains an unsolved mystery.

I really feel sad, I finally could not stand and cry at that moment, imagine what if you know what your father did, how your mother's pain when she found out this reality.

My concern and affection for my mother has led me to intervene so far.

There was a feeling of guilt in my heart, but because of that too a crime would slowly unfold.

I slumped and my legs felt limp as if I had lost my energy all of a sudden, I could only ponder on myself remembering what I had seen from my phone screen a while ago.

But in the midst of my chaotic thoughts, someone came up to me from behind and patted me on the shoulder, I immediately turned my head and I saw it was Zena.

"Sherin, how come you're alone here and you cry?" zen asked, looking strangely at me.

I could only shake my head, it was hard to open my own mouth to speak, my chest was very tight.

"Sherin why you? Come with me yuk?" Zena suddenly asked me to go somewhere.

Then Zen pulled me, but because my legs felt so limp I fell down, then Zen carried me and took me into his car.

All of a sudden, somehow my head felt heavy and I finally couldn't remember anything else.

******

I started to open my eyes again, but I looked around and found that I was already in a room that looked foreign to me.

"Sherin .. You finally came to your senses too?" Suddenly Zen came to me with a worried look. 

"Zena? Where am I?" I immediately asked Zen where I was at this time, I began to feel fear.

"Sherin recalled, this is you at my house you passed out on the street, what exactly?" mutilate.

I remembered the last time Zen pulled me and took me into his car. 

I was surprised, too, when I remembered that my appearance was in disguise mode and I was not in a mask, I did not wear glasses and my hoodie was also detached from my head.

"Look down Sher, where's this going?" Zen, trying to calm me down. 

His hand pointed to the next chair that was my bag there.

"I'm going to change my Zen first, can I go to the toilet?" I asked Zen.

"Drink Sherin's water first, let's not dehydrate anymore, let's go .." Zen thrust a glass of water. "I didn't poison you, if you want to change clothes, you change in my room, let me drive you to the door?"

I immediately received a glass of water from Zen's hand and then gulped it down until half was left, because my throat was very dry, I was very thirsty.

"Thank you, yep!"

I immediately rushed to Zen's room and hurriedly changed my clothes as before, I briefly saw Zena's room was so spacious and luxurious, when it was finished and I was going to get out of the room, I accidentally saw there were photos on the wall of Zen's room, it looked like it was like me, when I was about to see up close, Zena suddenly knocked on the door, at the end of the day, I didn't get to see the photo and immediately went back to the living room with Zen.

"Have you changed your clothes?" Zen asked, just a small talk, but he saw for himself that I was wearing different clothes.

"As you can see, thank Zen," I said. Smile at Zen.

Zen nodded his head. "Sher, can I ask you something?"

"Can you ask what?"

"Why are you wearing a man's kayak? And why were you crying alone on the sidewalk near the school?"

"That's .. anu, sorry Zen, I can't tell you, I don't want to lie,"

"Hmm .. yaudah is okay, but Sher if you have a problem you can say to me, who knows I can help and I also promise you, I will not probably say your problems with others, your problems my problems too, mmm .. meaning we are that, you believe me?" said Zen. Look nervous.

"Emm yes Zen, sorry Zen I don't believe, I trust you, but it's about my family's privacy,

 I'd say I can't either,"

"Well, if that's okay, have you eaten yet?" Zen apparently did not force me to answer his question and immediately shifted the topic so that I did not feel burdened.

"I ate earlier, Zen can I go to the toilet?"

"How come, yuk I anter …"

I went to the toilet for a while because my eyes felt uncomfortable after crying, Zen went again and did not wait for me. When I'm done, I intend to go back, but I saw a family photo that was plastered on top of the TV closet and after I looked carefully it turned out that the man in the photo was similar to Aunt Isma's husband, I finally just stood there and couldn't believe what I saw, so many times I rubbed my eyes to make sure and the results were the same.

When I was daydreaming Zen was already behind me. "That's a picture of my family Sher, this is my mother and this is my stepfather, this is me too this is my sister," Zen suddenly introduced his family to me, showing one by one the people in the photo.

"Eh Zena, I'm sorry I didn't mean anything, I just saw like I've met someone who looks the same in this photo" I said. My hands were reflexively stretched out over my chest, because to be honest I was completely shocked by the sudden arrival of Zena.

"It's okay, Sher, if you want to look around, you can," 

"Ah no Zen, oh yes Zen, why in this house is empty of father, mother or sister where are you?"

"Yes Sher I'm alone in this house father works out of town, mother also went abroad if my sister is not there, already dead," said Zen in a slightly low tone.

"Oh my goodness .. sorry Zen I don't know, I don't mean you're the same as the past,"

"It's okay, you baper really hehe, I'm not okay - why is it normal, it's gone I'm also used to living alone,"

"Emm so yeah .., in this big house you're alone? Is there no assistant?"

"Yes Sher, why don't you stay here with me? There's Bi Enung with Mang Ojan, there's also a security guard up front,"

"Huh? Ah you've got to know, how can I stay here Zen, you've-nothing!"

"Hehe joked Sher was very serious, but if you want the hell I'm also happy hehe,"

"Basically you,"

I unconsciously forgot my sadness, joking and laughing, running around, playing chases with Zen, like in drama or soap opera films.

After I was tired I wanted to go home, because I was worried about my mother, Zen also drove me home.

Throughout the journey Zen only focused on driving, his attitude became strange as if he looked nervous. Until I got home, Zen did not stop by and immediately decided to go home.

Arriving at home I did not talk much with my mother, but I still do my work at home as usual, the situation is still safe under control.
