11. That Case



Love is ready with her neat clothes. That is a black cardigan with a white shirt combined with a black sebetis skirt and white flat shoes. He'll go on his bike to meet with Detective Om at the park. After saying goodbye to her Mother Love immediately pedaled her bicycle with a slightly worried feeling mixed with pleasure.


"Hopefully, hopefully, hopefully," muttered Cinta as she rode her bike. Arriving at the park, Cinta parked her bicycle in a special place of bicycle storage. He went around the park for a while to find out where Detective. When Love was walking down the park, he saw a familiar silhouette for her walking in front of him.


"Om Detective!," call Love as she approaches the black man in her presence. The man turned his back and smiled kindly to Love.


"For Love" said Detective with a smile.


"Morning is also Om," Love's reply bowed politely. Then he looked back at Detective.


"Om, how? There is a bright spot what?," asked Love who directly to the point in the direction of their conversation.


"Love, we sit down first, yeah. Let it be quieter to talk," invite Om Detective while walking first followed by Love who follows behind him with his head down.


"So gini, Love. Yesterday Om had to play to the army office to investigate another case. It just so happens that there is one of Om's friends who has been working for a long time in the same army office where your father last worked. What they told Om about your father was, one day before that incident your father was officially appointed Brigadier General. Great, yeah. But there's one thing that's stuck. Your father sounds very close to his best friend and co-worker. The dear ones they forgot, what was his name. Your Dad's best friend did not rise to office because he made a fatal mistake, while your Dad could rise to office for doing a great thing," said Detective Om with a gaze that looked at Love deeply. While Love listens to everything Om Detective says carefully.


"I don't understand, Om," Love smiled back awkwardly.


"You want to know, the person closest to us could be the deadliest person for us. His prick was invisible but felt. What Om thinks is, your Dad's best friend is angry because your Dad can step up while he can't. Then, he did something out of his mind out of anger. That might happen right, Love?," explained Om Detective made Love look at him in disbelief.


"O-om, is that perhaps the reason?" asked Love with her quivering voice.


"We can't confirm it now, Love. But Om hope, from here we can get more important things to help us get answers to who your father's best friend is," said Om Detective.


"Love can help, Mom? Om ask for help Cinta to ask Mom, maybe he knows with Dad's best friend," continued Om Detective.


"Can, Om, Love can help Om. Whatever it must be Love does," Love's reply nodded in surprise.


"If so, Om go first. If Love has something to talk about, call Om aja, yes!," said Om Detective while getting up from his seat and stroking the top of Love's head.


"Yes, Detective. Thank you very much, yes, Om. Already willing to help Love get this far, "Love bowed her head and held back the tears that were already at the end of her eyes.


"Same, Love," Om Detective hugs Love like his own son. He knew that this situation was so difficult Love who should only be busy attending school but he was busy solving cases like this.


"You're great, Love. You're a great kid, you've fought so far. We must soon get his answer," whispered Om Detective on the ear of Love who was in his arms.


"Yes, Om," Love let go of her embrace and looked at Detective Om with a sad look.


"Om saying goodbye, yeah. Heart of your heart goes home," Om Detective waves his hand before really go leave Love.


Love breathed a heavy sigh because her chest felt very tight. Love is tired, because why is it so hard just to get an answer to Dad's death. Love doesn't know anymore, her journey to get answers is still how far.


"I'll keep looking for answers, Dad, Brother. Wait, yes," muttered Love quietly. Then he left the garden to go to Zemira's house. Love intended to play for a while, but on the way he saw a crowd on the side of the road that was visible from a distance people were busy calling an ambulance and there were two cars that were both destroyed. He felt his head ache, this was like the incident back then. Although different but saw the crowd, then the blood that flowed into the streets, and the sound of crying someone in the crowd made Love lying unconscious.


When Cinta opened her eyes, she saw that she was in the hospital. Her head felt very sore and dizzy making Love closed her eyes back tightly.


"I'm not papa, Om who, huh?," asked Love by trying to wake up from his sleep.


"I'm Chandra, the local cop where you passed out on the side of the road. I immediately brought you here out of fear that there was a problem of worry," replied Chandra who was dressed neatly not in a police uniform. But with after a neat suit.


"Thank you very much, Om. It's brought me here, "Love bowed her head in gratitude.


"That's been my job. What's your name, son?" asked Chandra.


"Love, Om," replied Love smiling kindly.


"Okay, Love. Your bike is in the hospital parking lot. If you haven't been able to ride a bike, Om can take you home" Chandra asked.


"No, Om, Love can go home on its own. Love is already strong to go home on a bicycle," Love replied.


"No papa Cinta, you must still be weak from fainting earlier," said Chandra who smiled like a father to his son.


"I-I'm sorry, Om, if Love is troublesome," Love tries to get off her own bed. Then they walked along slowly because Love could not walk quickly. Chandra runs behind so that if Love falls he can catch her.


"May Om, ask me something like Love?" asked Chandra who was busy driving.


"May, Om, what's the matter?" replied Love, who was sitting in the passenger seat next to her.


"So you fainted because of what? When you faint, Om checks your temperature is normal, and doesn't look like a sick person. But, the situation around you is again crowded because of a two-car accident. Is it possible that you fainted from seeing such a tumultuous state?, "Love was surprised not to play when she heard Chandra's guess right on target.


"Om is great. In the past, about five years ago, Love was in such a position even though the circumstances were different. Not an accident, but a shooting that happened to Dad, and a collision accident on Brother Love. Seeing the situation earlier, all the memories of that day made Love's head hurt. Keep Love no longer know what happens after," Reply Love with a smile made as bright as possible.


"The Om guess is correct. Can you tell if the case has been resolved or not?" asked Chandra.


"No, Om. Until now, Cinta and Om Detective are still trying to find answers to this shooting incident," replied Cinta.


"Om Detective?," said Chandra looking at the bewildered Love.


"Yes, Detective is the one who helped Love all this time to find out who the person behind the black mask is. But Cinta does not know whose name, Om Detective wants her to be called like that," said Cinta.


"If Om Chandra helps love how? Who knows, Om Chandra and Om Detective can help Love find her answer?," Chandra's offer makes Love almost cry again today. Why are so many people who are kind enough to help him to solve cases that have not been revealed for five years.


"That's a lot, Om. Again Love says thank you very much the same, Om, because it is willing to be kind to help Love," Love holds back from crying again.


"That's also one of Om's duties as a cop. Love can give you the number of Detective, right? Om want acquaintance," said Chandra while stopping his car in front of the house of Love.


"Can, Om. It's Detective Om's number, "Love thrust her phone towards Chandra so that Chandra can take down Detective's Om number. After that Love got off Chandra's car.


"Heart, Om. Thank you very much for your help," Love looked down politely until Chandra's car drove away from her home.
