"Don't be arrogant, Mr. Edzar. Being arrested does not mean I am guilty. The court has not yet decided. You know that."
Edzar snorted raising the corner of his lips cynically. The man said nothing. Just stared at Santoso Ilyas with his flat gaze. He is currently visiting the KPK rutan, where Santoso Ilyas is being held.
"You don't have any authority to handle this. So stop interfering. You've seen the consequences. The family of your loved ones is now on the verge of falling. Haha...."
"You think I'm a fool capable of being fooled? Ck ck ck, you fools are acting too rashly. You might think I'm off guard with that girl. In fact, an Edzar Adyaksa is nothing more than a man who is drunk with love. It's laughable."
"One more thing, the witnesses you present are not enough. Dream if you want to hold me back. I just need twenty days of silence here. Like before, I'll be free in the end."
Santoso Ilyas continued to blabber with a slow nudity. In contrast to Edzar who remained calm. The man did not ripple in response to a minister's tweet before him. Errata, will soon be a former minister.
"Who said it wasn't enough? My purpose here is to show you one witness that is very important for the trial journey later."
The rarity stopped, Santoso Ilyas looked up and raised his eyebrows to look at Edzar. He still looks confident. And Edzar was sure that expression would soon change upon seeing the person Edzar was carrying.
"Come in!" exciting Edzar.
Right after that a foot-level covered in high heels entered the besuk room. The beautiful woman in a formal suit stood a little nervously behind Edzar. As expected, the look of Santoso Ilyas immediately changed after seeing the woman.
"The liandra?" he said unconsciously.
Yes, that woman is Liandra. He stared at Santoso at a glance with his clasped hands squeezing each other.
"Hows it? Is that enough now?" ask Edzar pongah. The corner of his lips lifted seeing the man before him not twitching.
"One of the people who received a flow of funds from corruption. Or can I call her a mistress?"
"So you said I was stupid?" Edzar grunting. "You're a fool to let others know all the action you're doing."
Edzar leaned slightly on his back. "It's not me who's reckless, but you yourself who's careless."
Gritting his teeth, Santoso Ilyas looked at Liandra sharply, making the woman look down not daring to look up. "What do you think you're doing here, Liandra?"
"My-me...."
"You betrayed me?"
Liandra shook her head in the fog. His attitude looks nervous as well as scared. He was confused what to say. This was not his wish either. But to run for free, everything has been found out. And maybe his life won't be the same after this.
"You forgot? I'm paying for your college. I paid for all your mother's treatment, too. And this is your reply to me?"
"Sorry," Liandra stuttered.
"WOMAN JAL*NG!"
"You think I didn't know you were tempted by it?! You've been close to her lately, haven't you?" point it at Edzar.
Santoso Ilyas's face was flushed. Clearly emotions settled in his expression.
"I asked you to spy on him. Not just a feeling!"
Liandra sniffled in place. A bit of guilt appeared in his heart. He felt disinclined at Santoso Ilyas because the man was very meritorious in his life. But he also fretted about having to deceive Edzar. Edzar was a good man, Liandra was willing to play him. Even though she knew Edzar did the same to her.
"It's not entirely Liandra's fault."
Someone else suddenly appeared from the door. The tall man with a similar composure Edzar entered in an elegant suit. Then he stopped at the table, standing between Edzar and the Minister.
Again Santoso's face was flabbergasted. Apparently Edzar wasn't kidding.
"Galuh, you?"
"Papa."
Galuh Ganindra looked at Santoso who was none other than his father. His eyes were unsheathed, yet there was a hint of disappointment that no one else knew about.
"What the fuck?" santoso whispers while gluing his teeth.
"You also intend to betray me, Galuh?"
Galuh was silent, but his eyes could not be seen Santoso who now looked down rubbed his face rough.
"I didn't betray Papa. Papa is the one who betrayed me" said Galuh flat.
"Papa betrayed Mama, Papa also betrayed Ineu. Papa betrayed us all."
"Do you think all this time I didn't know Papa's relationship with my secretary? I've been suspecting him ever since Papa brought Liandra to work for the company."
"I kept quiet because I didn't want Mama to be hurt. "
"But I was wrong. My attitude that hid Papa's affair many times made Mama disappointed. Especially now that Papa is entangled in the case, don't blame Mama if you don't want to see Papa now."
"Struggling.." grumpily Santoso Ilyas complete with his sharp gaze.
"Papa has no right to be angry. Papa should reflect on Papa's own actions."
Galuh's gaze turned to the faithful Liandra's lowered her head. Occasionally a sobbing sounded from his mouth.
"And you, if you are a good woman, you will understand the feelings of other women" Galuh said last time before he passed out.
Shortly thereafter, officers interrupted that the clock had ended. Edzar and Liandra leave Santoso Ilyas, who is now ducking, squeezing his hair and banging his own head on the table.
"Aargh...!"
Shouts sounded just as the officers closed the door. Some investigators waiting outside are approaching soon . They're going to do an examination of Liandra and definitely arrest the woman. Currently Liandra is a suspect for enjoying money from corruption, also several times committing criminal acts on the orders of Santoso Ilyas.
Before leaving Liandra turned to Edzar, his gaze dimmed when he saw the man. "Now I understand. Mas Edzar approached me because of this." Her lips curled.
"But I realized, I was also wrong to have lied to Mas Edzar. I'm sorry."
Liandra looked down for a while and then looked up again. "One thing you should know, I really like Mas Edzar. Even though I know Mas's heart is already filled with someone."
"That woman.... Not Mas's nephew, is it?"
"I can tell only from the gaze of Mas who often glanced at him from the rearview of that time."
Liandra smiled sincerely, "I also apologize for kissing Mas without permission. Again, I'm sorry, yes, Mom."
"Because I realized, matter is meaningless if I hurt others. I was blinded by money all this time. I almost lost my mother because there was no money. And that's when Mr. Santoso reached out his hand to help me."
"I also had the chance to hope that connecting with Mas Edzar could be a savior who would take me out of this dark circle."
"Mas did manage to let me loose, though not in the way I had anticipated."
Liandra flicked her hand while chuckling, "Sorry so confide, hehe," she said wiping the watery corners of her eyes.
Edzar nodded softly in response, "What's wrong," he said briefly.
"So, what was his name at the time? Safa, huh? He's not Mas' nephew, is he?" Liandra's raut turned witty, more precisely trying to be made a joke to cover up her true feelings.
Edzar was silent for a while before then answering confidently. "No. He's someone I'm gonna fight for."
