Aditya thought Frita was asleep. It was almost midnight. He went to the kitchen to get water in the fridge. There Frita sat on a chair in the darkness of the kitchen wall.
Aditya greeted him, “You didn't sleep?”
“Can't yet, Mas,” replied Frita slowly.
“You better rest,” said Aditya.
“Mas ..” Frita seemed to want to say something. The glass of water in his hand was placed on the kitchen table, but he never spoke. His face was already half looking up at Aditya's eyes.
This was the first time he dared to look at Aditya after the rape happened.
“Why, Frit?” reply Aditya.
“I ... Me ..”
“Already, you calm down. This whole thing's gonna be over. Isn't the main one being us? I'm not gonna cancel that wedding. We'll stay together. I have also promised myself to settle this affair with you.” Aditya's explanation made Frita cry again.
Only the cry sounded so slow, almost without a sound, because he did not want his father to wake up.
Frita said, “Tomorrow after meeting with a client, I have an appointment with Papa's doctor acquaintance. An undisclosed promise of course.”
Adita waited for the continuation of her sentence, because Frita seemed suddenly a little hesitant. But he went on too, “We make sure whether the rape really happened or not.”
Aditya looks confused.
“Mas, at the time of the incident I felt dizzy and lost balance. I don't know for sure if it's my virgin blood or not.”
Aditya thought it was a good idea. “Well, better make sure of that. We never know.”
Even so, Aditya is not sure that rape is just fabrication. If so, what did you do? Why did Gagas and Lucky do it? Aditya does not know that behind the plan is the sleazy ploy of Christian Santoso, and unfortunately the nephew, the poor Lucky, suffers from impotence.
“But there will be the possibility of it being true rape,” Frita said later.
They stopped for a while.
Frita then went back to talking, “If I were pregnant. If only I was pregnant and we didn't know that yet, Mom. What are you ..” Frita stopped for a moment. “What are you .. don't mind?”
“Well, honestly this is hard to accept, Frita. But, if there really is a baby in your stomach, what can we do? We can't hurt him, let alone kill him. We can take care of the baby if you want,” Aditya replied.
That answer made Frita look very relieved. He got up from his chair and hugged Aditya.
Aditya tries to relax so that Frita no longer feels guilty about the unexpected events and so that Frita becomes much calmer. Aditya kissed Frita's lips, which he did not expect to make the girl blush in shame.
Frita broke away from Aditya's embrace, “Mas, tomorrow I leave rather early. Promise with this client can't be late.”
“Ya, then sleep.”
Frita walks out of the kitchen, but then realizes something she hasn't told Aditya.
“Oh, yes,” says Frita. “Thank you, Mas. Thank you for everything as long as we know.”
Aditya doesn't know what to say.
***
Aditya could not sleep as soon as possible after returning from the kitchen. He called someone to find information about Gagas Darmawan, Lucky Wicaksono, and especially about Christian Santoso.
“Information that not many people know,” said Aditya.
“Oke.”
The figure he called was a private detective who was recommended by his acquaintances in the military several years ago when Aditya wanted to track down an accomplished criminal.
“Good, that's it?” ask the detective.
“For a while it was just first,” said Aditya.
After that, he can sleep well. He imagined and there was little hope as well that Christian Santoso was involved here. He does not know the figure, but knows his wife, Aunt Meilisa, is a figure who has always seemed to hate Frita and her family.
Aditya was curious. “Why did they do it? For what?”
He could only think how much this might just be aimed at making Frita mentally destroyed. If that happens, the Pandu automatic family business is also a mess. But, is that all?
However, if the rape is just a matter of Gagas and Lucky who are unable to resist the courage, Aditya will not hesitate to finish both.
He was sound asleep with the shadow beating the two unlucky youths.
***
Aditya didn't feel like sleeping long enough. Just woke up that afternoon at 10:30. That's because the voice of the phone entered his smartphone. The call from the detective works pretty fast.
Aditya is heard asking in a high tone to be sure, “You sure it will be night at 8 in Luxury Building?”
“Yakin,” replied the detective who turned out to be able to track the activities of certain people on the internet. He immediately sent an image to Aditya in the form of proof of booking a place for a meeting on behalf of Gagas Darmawan in one of the rooms in the recently built building.
“Good work,” said Aditya. They're picking up the phone.
Christian and Gagas are definitely planning on meeting a client. Aditya thought it was time to start giving the first lesson to them.
“Any cooperation with whoever's client it, should be canceled only,” thought Aditya.
Then he met Pandu in the backyard and conveyed this knowledge. His plan also conveyed.
“You sure?” tanya Pandu looks doubtful. “Come to them just for the sake of demanding an explanation? When they meet a client?”
“It's not like that either, sir. I'll arrange for their meeting with the client to either be that, screwed up. Only after that can you enter,” said Aditya.
“But we don't know yet if Christian is involved here.”
“Well, only we know for sure that only Gagas and Lucky are responsible for the rape of Frita,” Aditya said.
Pandu also agreed to that.
Shortly after their conversation, there was news from Frita. It's about meeting with the doctor who knows the papa.
Frita said, “The doctor has made sure there is no penetration into my body. In other words, there was never rape!”
Pandu, Gina, and Aditya were obviously happy to hear that. But, why? What does this all mean?
“Photo-photos,” said Pandu a little anxious. “Maybe they hope to make us devastated by Frita's photos.”
“Ya, can be.” said Aditya.
“All will be fine, won't it?” frita asked doubtfully.
“We'll see later. But I'm sure,” Aditya replied steadily.
Yeah, that they can make sure tonight at 8 in Luxury Building. The fact that Frita had never been raped, would obviously make them excel at a level above the bad guys trying to plot something rotten here.
