Sincere Love Former Office Girl

Clues

Jemari lentik Sekar gently touches each photo sheet attached to an old album owned by his family. The worn spots that began to cover some parts of the photo did not prevent Sekar from still recognizing anyone who was there.

There is a photo of him when he was 5 years old sitting on his ontel bike owned by his father. He looked cheerful, because in his hand was clutched a small toy cup that had just been obtained from the seven dozen race. It is only a race between RT, but still very effective for small Sekar.

He remembered how he squealed with excitement as his name was called the first champion. With carefree steps, Sekar climbed a small, simple stage made of bamboo and wood.

The father who was waiting in the audience looked proudly at him. The hardworking man even clapped his loudest hands, shortly after Sekar held the trophy.

A simple moment that he misses so much.

The girl's eyes then turned to another photo. Photos of his mother who was standing on the edge of the rice field wearing caping. If examined more carefully, there was a girl who peeked from behind his body. The little girl's hand was tightly clutching her mother's clothes.

It was himself.

He still remembers clearly, it was a moment where he cried because he was looking for the existence of the mother who never returned home. In order to relieve his crying, the father invited little Sekar to approach his workplace.

Smile now. As much as she could she held back her sobs from flowing out.

Arion went into Sekar's room, whose door was slightly open. In the man's hand was a tray containing a plate of chicken porridge and a glass of warm tea.

"Eat first, huh?" said Arion while putting the tray in front of Sekar.

"I'm not hungry." Answer Sekar flat.

"Your body needs energy." Arion took the photo album, saw it for a while, then placed it beside Sekar's bed.

Just as Arion was about to feed the girl, Aiden suddenly came over to them. "There's a guest, sir," Aiden told Arion.

Arion put a tablespoon into Sekar's hand. "Eat. I'm ahead first,"

Guests who came to the Sekar house were two police officers who were handling the Mbah Bhanuwati and Bude Gayatri cases. Arion invited them to sit on a thick carpet that he had bought a few days ago.

The two policemen named Bas and Anton turned out to have bagged the characteristics of the car that hit Bude Gayatri and Mbah Bhanuwati. Bas also showed Arion a photograph. "This is an old SUV caught on the dashboard of a truck. Incidentally on the day of the incident the truck was parked not far from there. Since the quality of the video is not so good, we are currently asking the Digital Forensics Expert to fix it."

Arion squinted his eyes to see more clearly what was in the photo. Screams who heard their conversation rushed out of the room. He also saw a photo shown by the police.

A shocked roar was instantly imprinted on Sekar's pale face. With a choked voice he said that the car in the photo had been seen several times by him.

"Over the last two weeks, I feel followed. And recently I saw the car passing in front of the house," said Sekar. A moment later the look in the girl's eyes turned frightened. She grabbed her own hair and started crying. Guilt hit her head. If only he had realized this, maybe his two loved ones would not have experienced such a tragic thing.

Arion pulled Sekar into his arms. He also asked permission from the two police officers to bring Sekar into the room. Meanwhile, Anton immediately recorded the important information he got into the small book he brought.

"Madam, we destroyed the car" said a tall man who was sitting in the dining chair.

"Good!" The woman threw three thick brown envelopes on the table. "In it there is also a plane ticket that I have ordered. You guys hide there until conditions are back to conducive!" the woman's orders. As much as possible they must escape from the pursuit of the police, if it remains sniffed, Erlina will only topple the men.

"Thank you, ma'am," the three men took the money on the table and left Erlina's apartment.

A tall, thin man accompanied by a blue-eyed woman came to Sekar's house this morning. It was Bayu, one of Sekar's relatives who worked in Australia and settled there. The blue-eyed woman was his wife.

"Assalamu'alaikum," several times the greeting thrown by Bayu did not get an answer from the residents of the house.

Bayu went up to the courtyard of Sekar's house. He realized that the house was in complete darkness. No sound was heard from inside.

In order to eliminate worry, Bayu tried to push the front door that turned out to be unlocked.

"Strong," call Bayu while opening the door and window of the house. The man then told his wife to help check into each room.

"Pa!" the scream of the wife made Bayu rushed to come into one of the rooms.

Bayu was surprised to find Sekar sitting in the corner of the room while hugging his knees. The girl's face was deathly pale, and her gaze felt very blank.

"Strue," call a gentle Bayu. He shook Sekar's shoulder slightly, so that the girl would wake up from her daydream.

He turned towards Bayu. "Mas Bayu?" call the girl in a soft voice.

"Yes, it's me" replied Bayu. He asked his wife to find water in the kitchen.

"Your thug friend, Arion, managed to contact me yesterday. I'm sorry, I have absolutely no idea about Mbah and Bude Gayatri, '" said Bayu.

"This, Pa," the beautiful woman who was the wife of Bayu returned to the room with a glass of water.

Bayu forced Sekar to drink it a little, then introduced his wife to him. "This is Amanda, my wife,"

Just look at Amanda and smile faintly.

"Have you eaten yet?" tanya Bayu was worried. The distant cousin's sister must not have slept for days, judging by her already blackened eye bags.

"Mbah and Bude, Mas," said Sekar. The tears that he had been holding back flowed out. Just crying again.

Bayu pulled the girl into his arms.

The condition of the brother is very fragile makes Bayu also shed tears.

The next day, with the permission of Arion and Ben, Rani, Ningsih, Lastri, Dimas and Jalu came to Sekar's house. The girl's cry broke as soon as she saw the arrival of the friends she missed. Arion knew very well, that Sekar not only needed himself, but his close friends as well.

Two days after the arrival of his brother and best friend, Sekar underwent a slight change. He no longer cried much. The girl had already started to want to eat even if it was just a few mouthfuls.

"I go first" said Arion. While waiting for the dashcam footage to be restored, Arion tells his men to trace the perpetrator's trail.

Adhisty was walking back and forth in his study. Anxiety hit the 34-year-old woman. Every now and then he seemed to be steadily tapping a number on his phone, but a second later doubts suddenly came attacking.

"What should I do?" the woman's mind is frustrated.

The conversation between Davina and her mother is still recorded Adhisty's memory. Deep down, he rejected their vile deeds. But if he were to get involved, Erlina would definitely not stay silent.

Adhisty. His eyes were staring at a photo that was placed in front of him. It was a family photo taken shortly before his stepfather died.

Tears ran down Adhisty's cheeks. "I'm sorry, Dad" he said softly.
