Shinta parked her car at Pratama Group's basement section of area E near the elevator. When he got out of the car a well-dressed woman approached him and greeted him politely.
"Mother Shinta.. I Nindy assist sir January.Let me take to see Mr. David, "Well that woman kindly.
"Thank you, Nindy.... Has David arrived yet?" Has he been waiting for me for a long time?" It was jammed into this building.
"He was heading here from the hospital where his in-laws were being treated. I was asked to accompany Mbak, until he came !" Nindy explains to Shinta who feels uncomfortable if a company leader has to wait for her.
"Well .. sorry yes mbak, I'm a nindy bother.
"No papa ma'am, let's have a meeting room on the 5th floor!"
"Good mbak NIndy.
The elevator stopped on the 5th floor and Shinta was asked to wait in the meeting room. Nindy pamit will prepare food and drinks for the meeting participants. The room is quite large and can accommodate about 50 meeting participants. Shinta was somewhat astonished why David chose a room this big . Thought Shinta, she would report in David's office that she used to meet if she came with Dilla. It's like a limited meeting with a few people in attendance.
Shinta was still pensively sitting in the room and she chose to take a cell phone to fill her time while waiting for someone . It reopened its message in the WA app on Dilla a while ago. Dilla's been changing for the last few months.
Already 3 days after Dilla met Handoyo, the midwife did not return to her apartment. Shinta Worrying about her artist, but her concerns were not addressed . The artist has changed since returning from Ottawa. His last conversation was yesterday when he reminded Dilla to rethink her actions that further violate the norms that apply in society.
Shinta: "Sir Dilla.. Where is it?
Shinta : "Mbak Dilla .. is it okay? " Do I need to pick up Dilla's mom over there?
Shinta : Ma'am Dilla.. please answer my message.. many are looking for mbak Dilla.. many still love mbak Dilla !
Shinta: "Mr Dilla. please answer mbak..
Two hours later Shinta wrote a message back and there was a ringtone when contacted but no answer from the intended number. Dilla did not pick up her call and did not answer her messages from the morning and did not pick up her phone.
Usually Dilla is quick to respond especially if there is a shooting schedule today. The job to fill the show on TV3 station was canceled yesterday by Shinta at Dilla's request. It's not like Dilla. Totally changed. Dilla wanted to ruin her life. His obsession with David had defeated his logic.
Shinta Chat returns to Dilla on her way to David's place. He did not believe Dilla would answer him.
Shinta: "Mbak Dilla. There is a clean gladi invitation to fill the event at the annual meeting of PT Mobilindo Karya, Indonesia, this afternoon at 17:00 and they do not want to be canceled, .. still ask mbak Dilla and do not want to be replaced by another artist, tomorrow night, the show Mbak , mbak Dilla did not present a gladi but the important thing is that Dilla still came after the event....
Dilla finally contacted Shinta after the last 1 hour message was sent. The tone of the woman's voice was like she was exhausted from running.The distant phone call was immediately lifted by Shinta.
"Mbak Dilla. You're fine, "
"Of course Shinta.. I'm fine.. You forgot my message yesterday. All my schedule this week empty all Shinta.... cancel all my work.. I was busy burning myself with Mas Handoyo.. ahhh.
The call was interrupted. Shinta was surprised to hear Dila's reply. He feels affection for Dilla and is not willing if Dilla ruined his career. The contract from PT Mobilindo was hard to come by and the owner of the company requested that Dilla should come. Call back Dilla's number but the woman yells at Shinta and makes her even more surprised.
"Shinta don't bother me. Just do your job!" I don't want to work until Soffie's problem is solved. Don't bother me. Do your job and cancel all my schedules!" Don't call me. If you can't work. Why don't you stop being my assistant!' I can find another one.
Shinta wiped away her tears remembering Dilla's remark earlier this morning and the woman still ignored her and did not answer her message. I heard the door of the meeting room open from outside. A couple of well-built men and two women entered the room and took a seat not far from where he was sitting. He did not know who the man and woman were.
Finally David entered with three other men entering and all of them smiled kindly at Shinta
'Good night Shinta.. sorry waiting for us long huh?" Say hello David. "Have eaten yet, shinta ?" Nindy has prepared a snack for us who are here.
'I've eaten Mr. David.. This does want a meeting?" Did I interrupt Mr David's work time ?" Do I wait until after you finish your meeting?"
'Calm down, Dilla. They're all my friends. Well let you calm down.I introduce you first Dilla... Next to me are Mr. Iqbal and Mr. Sonny. And this is my assisen Mr. Michael, while the others are the police team who will also listen to your story... they know that you are not an accomplice of "bloody lip".. Just tell me everything you know....
"Police... will I be arrested and imprisoned, Mr David?"
'Don't be afraid Shinta. I know you well enough. They will all help you.
"I'm not involved in anything that Ms. Dilla will do, sir. I just don't want Ms. Dilla to get any more involved... I've tried to prevent it but he's angry at me even wanting to fire me1"
" Hey calm down Shinta..I believe you want Dilla back as before. Now you drink this water first... now you're the only story you know!"
"i did know Mr. Handoyo even saw him when in prison first.it is because I owe him a favor... but Ms. Dilla herself who asked to see Mr. Handoyo and ask for his help, this has been 3 days mbak Dilla has not returned to her apartment... It seems he is still with Mr. Handoyo.
"Why do you owe Mr. Handoyo, Shinta... can I know if you don't mind ?" Asked Mr. Irjenpol Iqbal calmly and smiled at Shinta, thus making the woman more relaxed. He did not know that the interviewer was a senior officer in the police.
"My family in the village was a difficult person.My father was just a farm worker and my sister was a lot, my mother died while giving birth to my youngest sister......I have known Mr. Handoyo since I was a child. Mr. Handoyo's wife used to give us food and it was done almost every day... I was invited to Jakarta and found a job in one of the offices that there are two mangoes. Therefore I feel indebted to him.Pak Handoyo was a good person and not a hit man.. indeed, I often saw him and sent him food because when we used to be hungry... Mr. Handoyo is a good person I know, but I know his work is now very evil and Ms. Dilla wants to use her services...
"So you think he used to be a good man and now he's not good ?" Ask Mr. Iqbal back
"Prince sir, I only knew him first. when he was released from prison.I once told Dilla ma'am I asked permission to pick him up and give him food... So Ms. Dilla found out that I know him well, so a few days ago Ms. Dilla asked for Mr. Handoyo's phone call and I was only asked to make an appointment for Ms. Dilla to see Mr. Handoyo .. I am a bit worried about this ..... Ms. Dilla changed drastically, sir.it has been 3 days not to go home to the apartment and all her schedules were canceled.
"Where do you think Handoyo will kill Sofie?"
'cause Miss Dilla said it herself ... Mr. Handoyo will take care of Soffie and the blood of the child in his womb will be shed.... and it seems that they are so familiar that Bu Dilla just called him Mas handoyo and was with him... isn't that a threat, sir?"
"Is this all you have Shinta?" Ask Mr. Iqbal again.
Shinta unlocks the phone and hands the phone to Mr. Iqbal.
"Please check my phone.This is my conversation with Ms. Dilla and I have reminded Ms. Dilla repeatedly not to take actions that are not in accordance with the norm... oh yes, I have a photo when Bu Dilla handed over money to Agus to damage the car of Ms. Soffie's sister... but I do not know the initial activities. because according to Bu Dilla, the target is to make Soffie go home and the family is also settled already one by one successfully... I took the money in the bank sir.. but I do not know at first for what.... am I wrong?" Shinta was really worried about her future.
"I don't want to go to jail sir. I have to pay for my sister who is in the village. My sister has four and all still need school fees !" I was confused from first bringing money to Agus that I was not a traitor but if I knew and I was silent then I could be considered an accomplice... I'm not an accomplice of evil, sir .." Shinta was still crying while Iqbal checked Shinta's phone and handed it to his men. Iqbal gave orders to the people who were inside the room.
"Calm down Shinta. we can definitely help you. Now you drink again to calm down. Keep you home and work as usual do your activities like you have not met us... we will prevent Handoyo from succeeding in his mission. "Iqbal continued to calm Shinta's heart, and she chose to talk to her group to set the strategy.
Sonny, who was silent, finally asked Shinta.
"If the person named Agus... do you have any contacts?"
"No sir. I was only asked to accompany Dilla's mother when she gave her money..... Can I go to jail for this, sir?"
"Shinta. I'll guarantee you if you're in jail. Don't be afraid. You're now working fine and report if there's anything important back !" You will not be attacked... Now go home and do your job as usual !' David calms the so scared Shinta.
"Well Mr. David... thank you... is my phone can be taken or how sir?"
"Bring home.every phone that comes in.then will go into my assistant phone," said Mr. Iqbal kindly.
