Lay With The Devil's

Explanation

Jaka's been sitting sweetly in Sarah's living room. Sarah herself sat opposite him. The table before them made each of them could be calmer.

"Sa. I prepared a drink first.", Sarah stuttered.

Stupid me!!! Yesterday, I went in and out of his apartment in a relaxed manner. Why are you so nervous tonight??

Sarah brews her favorite cinnamon tea. He added a block of sugar to the tea and added two more blocks to the cup plate.

"Are you usually this careless?", asked Jaka shortly after Sarah returned to her seat.

"aaa? Ah, no. I just finished cooking, and you came...",

"Is the kitchen okay?"

"It's okay if the apartment owner doesn't know... Although a private apartment, but if it endangers its citizens, we may be expelled...",

"Okay, I'll pretend I don't remember today. But I'm still hungry and it looks like your instant noodles are no longer interesting either", explained Jaka as he glanced at the dining table.

Sarah's instant noodles, it's clearly twice as big as the portion should be.

"Ma.af, sir.", Sarah was confused as to what to answer.

"How about you change your clothes and we eat out? Maybe around here there is a pretty good food stall?", asked Jaka trying to persuade. It was possible that this woman was too embarrassed to eat at the restaurant with him.

Sarah simply nodded and immediately rushed into her room.

Jaka looked at his Jas who was still wet because of the incident earlier. Miraculously, there was no trace of anything in his suit. Just wet.

°°°

They were in Jaka's car.

Instead of wearing street clothes, Sarah only wore a jacket after her sleeping pajamas earlier.

"In addition to work clothes and pajamas, you don't have any other clothes??", asked Jaka to the point.

"Why indeed, sir? My clothes are not polite huh?", asked Sarah without daring to look at the interlocutor.

Jaka massaged his forehead.

"No. Forget it.", explained Jaka while then stopping at one of the food stalls that Sarah claims are delicious.

"Are you sure you want to eat here?",

"Aren't you recommending it? What do you mean?",

"But this is just a small shop, sir...",

"Good damn you are. I used to work as a roadside fried rice salesman. Never mind. I'm human too", Jaka let go of the woman's safety belt.

°°°

Jaka had little faith in his own grief. He could have revealed that. Things that have been a long time.

"Have you ever sold fried rice? Mr. Ismail was rich from birth... No way ah.", explained Sarah probing. He was interested, whether the person's statement was just a joke or a fact.

Jaka looked straight into Sarah's eyes.

"Don't fish. I'm pretty sure you know a lot more than the guy who told you to do these stupid things...",

Sarah almost denied the man's words. But he held it.

"I'm sorry.", said Sarah at last, rather awkwardly. He forgot that he had caused a lot of trouble to his interlocutors.

"That's it. What do you want to eat?",

Jaka then approached the seller and ordered their food.

°°°

"May I wonder a little?", asked Sarah to Jaka who had just finished her squid fried rice.

Jaka nodded.

"Why did you come to AntiQ Jaya undercover?",

"Target is actually Alfandi. So as not to be caught. But it turns out we're still getting caught.", though...",

"Well, I don't know anything until that person tells me. I don't want to know either... That coffee thing, I'm sorry...",

"The coffee gives me a headache",

"Before I thought, that was for Mr. Alfandi. But the guy said it was for anyone who was there at the time... ",A,

"You're really yeah... What the hell, that's keeping you from reporting it to the police?",

"You must have known that I was squeezed... I don't even know why I. If he's just threatening me, I've been reporting for a long time. He threatened my family in the village. I can't protect them from here...",

"Family everything....",

Sarah nodded.

"Father himself has been sickly since two months ago. I can only send money every month. Mother's efforts are quiet. At first, the person offered to help with savings every month. I just need to install a flash every morning in Mr. Alfandi's room. For months I tried to move to Mr. Alfandi's department",

"Until you have to be his mistress?",

Sarah silence. He bowed. He did not think that it was known to the people in front of him.

"You know what you install every morning?",

"I can't know. Once I start installing, I have to hide it. I peeked once in it. But on my afternoon break, I got a call from the bank that all my savings had moved. I'm shocked. I waited hours for the margo to arrive, only because I couldn't reach them... I was almost crazy back then. Because in addition to the monthly money they send, my savings, the monthly salary I have not sent is also there. People say money is not everything. But I know that money can control everything...",

"How much do they pay you?",

"Ten million every week",

"And you didn't buy your own apartment avoiding your son-in-law?",

Sarah shook.

"But I didn't touch the money one bit. I realized that if I started using it, I would become more and more attached. I'll disappear someday. I'll probably put the money in the police station...",

"Woman freak", Jaka frowned. The explanation makes sense. But after all, victims of extortion will never be free from extortion until they say they are. Or if the extortionist gets caught by the police.

°°°

Jaka took off his shirt. Too tired to take a shower. Jaka just immediately put his body on his bed.

After driving the woman home and landing a kiss on her forehead, Jaka's brain thought quite slowly.

"Damn!!! I hate it when my brain and body are not too compact!", Jaka recalled that. He closed his eyes.
