Love is Not Finished

CHAPTER 44: The Case Completed

We also arrived at the college.

The weather is not so hot and it just so happens that my heart is also being cool. So today's college atmosphere makes me feel good.

Prita and I walked into the lecture hall. Friends seem to have started arriving. Not long after, enter the female lecturer. Today we only get legal material in outline only.

My lecturer is named Safna, a young and beautiful man. Looks friendly from his attitude but a little judes seen from the speech he said.

After he finished giving the materials and tasks, Lecturer Safna moved out of the room.

Suddenly my senior Kak Resa went inside and came straight to me. It seems like there is important news that he wants to convey.

"Zanu, come with Brother. There are important things," said Kak Resa.

"Where are you going, brother?" my many.

"The chief is waiting for Zanu outside. Let the Chairman explain later," replied Kak Resa.

"OK Brother. Prita, I'm out right away," I said to Prita.

"Sip. I will wait in the cafeteria at the last hour of college" replied Prita.

I nodded and followed Sis Resa. In the corner of the Rectorate building I saw Bram standing. He saw me coming with Resa.

What's up, huh? It seems so important, I feel a little scared.

"Hai Zanu, how are you?" ask Bram base stale.

"Good Brother. What's up?" I answered directly to the point.

"Zanu, Sari's parents and Lutfa came here. Now they are in the Rector's room. There is also the Dean, lecturer and from the police" Bram replied seriously.

I'm shocked! Well, what else is this? Do I have to be a witness or as a victim of the burning of the tent? How the hell is this story getting longer.

"What was my crusade called for?" my many.

"Gini, here is your position as a victim during the camp yesterday. And at that time, we already made a report in the local police. So before entering further investigation, the police discussed with the Rector first. The point is, can this case be solved in a family way? Because the condition of Sari and Lutfa is in the process of healing for the injuries they experienced yesterday," replied Bram.

I was silent and Sister Resa also from earlier just silently listened to my conversation with Bram.

"Zanu, all just waiting for your decision. Whether the process continues or you're willing to forgive them, so the case can be closed,"

"Sister, I'm actually confused to make a decision. If I stop this case, will my safety be assured next? But if it continues, pity their current condition," I replied.

"Follow your heart. I will guarantee your safety. As long as I exist, everything will go right. I'm sure whatever your decision is, it'll be the best" Bram assured me.

"Chairman, Mr. Sunday gave the code to tell us to enter," said Kak Resa suddenly while pointing towards the entrance to the Rector's room.

There he saw Mr. Sunday standing by the door. Bram turned his head towards Mr. Sunday and immediately raised his thumb. Mr. Sunday went back into the room.

"Ok Zanu, now we go in and think clearly before making a decision. As long as you are inside will be accompanied by Resa," said Bram.

I nodded, Bram clasped my hand and walked straight towards the Rector's room. When he entered, Bram let go of his hand and went straight to the Rector.

Just this time I saw the Rector up close. At first I saw the Rector look like Bram. It is natural that the Rector is Bram's uncle.

Inside the room were already the people that Bram mentioned earlier. All eyes are on me. I became more and more afraid, as if I was going to be in court.

The Rector invited me to sit down. Bram and Sister Resa stood behind me. While in front of me were the two old men from Sari and Lutfa.

Beside them were the Dean, the lecturer and two men in police uniforms. Two more policemen and the Sunday Lecturer stood at the entrance.

"Zanu, these two parents of our college students named Sari and Lutfa. The arrival of the Mother and Father wanted to convey something about the incident of the yesterday camp. And want to talk directly with Zanu by being witnessed by us together in this room," said Mr. Rector with a serious mimic.

I'm starting to deg-degan. I looked back at Bram. Bram nodded his head. Maybe the code for me should be ready for this.

"Son Zanu. I am the Father of Sari and Lutfa. I have received information from the police on my son's behavior. And at this time my son is not able to attend because he is in the healing process. As their parents, I apologize for my son's behavior towards son Zanu. Please son Zanu revoke this case, so that my son is free from the law," said his father Sari stammering.

Although the look on his face looks sad, but can still withstand the tears that almost came out. I remember my Papa.

"Yes son, please forgive Mother's children. We talked to our son and they admitted they were wrong. They cannot be present because they have to undergo gradual healing. You know, your kids are so wrong. Please forgive the child Mother yes son..," the mother's cry broke and sobbed.

Sometimes the mother looks at the police next to her. It was seen that this mother was distressed in fear for her son's actions.

I also could not bear to see this Father and Mother. Surely they are very hit with two events at once that befell his children. At almost the same time.

"Mother and Father. I have forgiven. And I reiterate that I will retract the report from the police who are handling this case. I hope that the children of the Father and Mother will recover as soon as possible. And the college can take them back. So, Mr. police, please have the report revoked" I replied firmly.

"Thank God, thank you son. Thank you," said the Father.

His wife was still crying and moved when she heard my words. The look of happy and relieved faces from the two of them.

"Good Zanu Deck. We will immediately retract the report. In the future there are no more demands from any party. We have all resolved this today in a familial manner and the case is closed" replied the police officer firmly.

All who are in the room look happy and relieved because they have found a bright spot and the case is dismissed.

"good. I as the Rector of this University will receive back well the children of Mother and Father. And give time off to undergo the healing process. Later, I will submit other information to lecturers who teach in their respective majors. Thank you for the presence of Father and Mother, Zanu and Mr. Police," said Mr. Rector.

The Rector stood up and approached the police. While his mother and father Sari Lutfa stood up and approached me. They hugged me and cried.

"Thank you, son, thank you" they said almost together.

I nodded and grabbed their hands for salami.

"Yes Sir, Mother. Please give my regards to Sari and Lutfa, hopefully soon to recover" I replied.

"Surely it's son, we will certainly convey," replied the Father.

After that, all the police in the room decided to go home. Previously they had asked for my signature for the closing file of the case.

Father and Mother Sari Lutfa also came home. After a little chat with the Rector, Bram and Kak Resa permission to leave the room.

********

I walked out of the room feeling empty. Bram smiled at me and whispered.

"Thank you, this decision is the best of a good person like you" Bram said softly in my ear.

OMG! I'm shocked! Bram called me "Dear"?! Wrong hearing?

It felt my heart tremble unruffled. I was ashamed to hear Bram.

I was silent and embarrassed. Bram realized that and smiled at me even more. I was salting.

"Sister, I'm going to the cafeteria first. Prita was waiting for me there," I said to break the stiffness.

"All right now. I'm going there too. Resa, thank you for accompanying me. Would you like to come with us to the cafeteria?" ask Bram to Kak Resa.

"Either. No need for the Chairman. I want to take care of something, anytime we're together again with Zanu. Alright Zanu, you go there first, yes" replied Sister Resa.

Bram and I nodded. Resa walked towards another building. And there stayed me and Bram walking both towards the cafeteria.

"Zanu, we'll go home together. Prita can also come, we deliver to the boarding house. I want to take you somewhere, okay," said Bram.

"Where are you going, brother?" my many.

"There you will, you will know" replied Bram.

I just shut up and thought, where would I go with Bram? Ah never mind, if asked, Bram wouldn't tell me.

Seen all the way, the passing student looked at me and Bram. Especially the girls, like shocked and surprised to see my closeness with Bram.

And I'm used to people's gazes when there's Bram beside me. Although Bram is cold but he's really cool.
