Mothers

6 Tragedy

Doctor Azri submitted the results of the autopsy to Renata and Mahendra. Renata grabbed the paper and tried hard to read the medical terms.

"From the results of the autopsy there is a former winding of the cable around the neck of the mother Kinanti. If by the time he committed suicide using a cloth, there would be no traces of the cord winding around his neck." Doctor Azri shows some photos to Renata and Mahendra.

"If it is suicide using a cloth, the former will look larger in size than the former winding of this cable. Here's an example of a suicide with a wrapped cloth." Doctor Azri gives another photo to Renata and Mahendra. Renata feels weak to hear the explanation from Doctor Azri.

"There are two incisions on the left wrist." The next photo is a photo of Kinanti's slashed hand.

"This fantasy doesn't impress him if he kills himself."

"Why can you say that, Doctor?" ryan began to wonder.

"We checked the temperature on Kinanti's body."

"Why do you check the temperature of a deceased person?" Renata is increasingly upset by Doctor Azri's statement.

"That can prove how long he's been lifeless." Renata did not answer anything anymore.

Mahendra patted Renata on the shoulder so that Renata did not look emotional.

"And from the results of the blood sample we took, the blood was already about 1 hour. And from the temperature we checked, Kinanti's body had died about an hour and a half before."

Renata felt so weak that he fell.

Mahendra immediately held Renata in his hands.

"You all right? Let's go home first" Mahendra told Renata.

"We're going home, Doctor. If there's anything call us immediately."

"alright. You guys be careful on the road."

Mahendra led Renata to leave immediately. Renata really can no longer sting anything about Kinanti today.

A gentle, caring, and always supportive daughter of what Renata does, why so many secrets does Renata not know? The longer it gets painful and painful.

"Where do you want to live now?" They're on their way back home.

"I'll just stay home."

"Are you sure you're still there? You don't want to find a new place?" mahendra asked worried that Renata would return to the house.

"Is it also the duty of the prosecutor to ask his client personally?" Renata begins to feel uncomfortable with Mahendra's attention.

"No. Sorry."

"Just get me home. Maybe there's some I need to fix. After all, the forensics and police teams have photos of TKP, right? Doesn't matter if I go back home?"

"Yes. All right." Without asking much more, now Mahendra just focus on driving.

After arriving in front of Renata's house, Renata immediately removed the seatbelt.

"Contact me if something happens" said Mahendra still unable to get rid of his worries .

Renata did not answer Mahendra's words.

"Thank you."

Renata got out of Mahendra's car and opened the fence. After Mahendra leaves, Evano approaches Renata who has been watching him since Mahendra's car arrived.

"Rena."

Renata who was opening the fence was a little surprised.

"Vano. What's up?"

"You want to come back here?" ask Evano.

"I'm confused Vano. But I think I need to find a new place. But the stuff here I have to bring it too. Or I'll just stay here..."

"You can stay at my place.."

"No, Vano. I don't want to trouble you anymore. Let me go in first and tidy things up."

Evano said nothing more. He let Renata into his house.

Renata was very sad to see all this. He cleaned all the stains on the floor and the table. His mind was tired of the reality of who Kinanti really was. I also thought I would leave this house. But Renata thought if he left this house, there would be something he passed over about Kinanti.

Second day of investigation...

Renata tries to live the day as usual. Trying to think that what happened to Kinanti was just an accident. When Renata wants to go to college on his motorcycle there is one of the neighbors who approached Renata.

"Dik Rena's. You okay?" ask the woman.

"I'm fine, ma'am." replied Renata smiling.

"Are you okay now, brother? Patience, Dik, all this is a test, may your mother calm there, Dik. Because those bad guys will definitely get their payback."

"The bad guys? What do you mean, Mom?"

"Yes Dik. I saw a woman coming here. But since I don't know what's going on here, I just saw him bring a box from this house. I don't know what the box is." one of the neighbors told Renata.

"Mom, do you know who that woman is?" ask Renata.

"I don't know, Brother. But that woman came here in a fine silver color sedan."

Renata recalls who were Kinanti's friends who used silver cars.

"Good, Mom. Thanks so much for the info. Now I want to go to college first huh, ma'am" said Renata smiling at his neighbor.

"Yes, my heart is on the road, brother..."

"Thank you, Mom.."

Renata is increasingly convinced that there is something behind all this. He will not leave the house until he finds out who killed Kinanti.

Nina felt able to breathe a little after Candra was on duty out of town. At least he didn't need to go to that private room for a few days.

Nina slumped herself in bed. Enjoy freedom and breathe freely. Every time Candra went out of town, Nina enjoyed her freedom. Her parents don't care much about her. And Nina didn't think too much about it. Because for Nina to be a part of Candra's life is enough. How not? The money that Candra transfers every month is enough to buy a new big bike. Every time the money is spent it will never run out. Nina really enjoyed this luck. But having to face the exhausting in-laws becomes part of Nina's life.

"Nina!!" call her in-laws, Herlina, from downstairs. Nina immediately got up from her bed and she went to see Herlina.

"Yes, Mommy."

"Where do you have a show today?" Herlina opened the magazine book without even looking at Nina.

"I don't have plans anywhere, Mom."

"Does Candra still like to visit Kinanti?" ask Herlina.

"Sometimes, Mom. If there's anything to talk about, he's definitely coming to Kinanti." Nina felt a bit strange about Herlina's question.

"Can you go to him and tell him I'm going to see him?" asked Herlina still did not take her eyes off her magazine book.

"Sorry, Mom. But Kinanti is dead."

Herlina took her eyes off the magazine. Herlina was a little shocked by what Nina said.

"Whatdidyou say? When's? I was still on the phone yesterday with Kinanti." Herlina was very confused. Why Kinanti suddenly died.

"I don't know, Mom. That's all I've heard."

"Where's Renata now? Laura! Laura! Come Laura!" Herlina shouted calling her assistant to come immediately.

Nina observed Herlina who was very panicked. Nina was confused to see her in-laws. He is firm in every decision. It also looks strong from the outside. But why Kinanti's death was so important to him that he looked so panicked.

"Why didn't you tell me this news? You know this news is very important to me?!" shout Herlina. Nina could not answer anything.

Herlina immediately pressed the button to call Renata.

***

Hape Renata shakes while the course is in progress. Renata just watched the screen who called him. Herlin. A grandmother who has not ignored Renata.

Renata did not answer. Until the phone died itself. But there was a short message coming in from Herlina.

Renata, where are you?

Renata was confused by himself. What's the matter? Why did Herlina suddenly contact him like this?
