Arion, who had just returned from the meeting room, suddenly scrunched his forehead when he found Adhisty, the stepbrother, suddenly calling.
The man waited long enough until he was completely sure of picking up the phone from Adhisty.
Adhisty's heart beats unsteadily as his phone is picked up and Arion greets him first. His heart that was sure suddenly suddenly shrieked to hear the voice of the younger brother.
"If you don't want to talk, I'm closed!" exclaimed Arion who was annoyed when Adhisty never answered his greeting. He felt strange about the woman's behavior. Obviously he's the one who called but won't talk.
"T–wait, Rion!" prevent Adhisty. If Arion hangs up on this phone, he's not sure if he can still call her back. Caring for the devil with his mother, he was fed up with seeing all the evil that the woman had done.
"There's something I want to talk to you about" Adhisty said later.
"What?" ask Arion impatiently.
"It's about the office girl" Adhisty said. He took a deep breath before telling Arion about Erlina and Davina's conversation. However, Adhisty deliberately does not tell everything so that Arion is not calm and vigilante. There must be police intervention to avoid a boomerang on himself.
Hearing the hint from Adhisty, Arion was shocked. In his heart he wondered, why did Davina directly find Erlina after coming from here? What does that woman mean about her fear of going to jail. Not to mention Erlina's promise that she will protect Davina from iron bars.
Without saying anything else, Arion hung up his phone unilaterally. He was about to rush to the police station to testify about what Adhisty was talking about. But one thing is certain, Sekar should not know this first.
Arion's phone rang again when he was in the car. Anton, one of the police, told Arion that Digital Forensics experts managed to clear the dashcam footage of a truck parked not far from the scene.
Arriving at the police station, he was shown the contents of the recording. In the footage, two well-built men sit in the steering wheel and next to them. They seemed to be stalking Mbah Bhanuwati and Bude Gayatri from afar, because when the two victims came down from the rickshaw and stood waiting for public transportation on the side of the road, the SUV they were driving suddenly moved towards the two victims at medium speed. Not only that, the footage also shows the fact that a woman appears suddenly from the back seat and controls the man sitting on the steering wheel.
It was obvious, if the woman was filled with anger. He hit the driver's headrest while shouting. Shortly after the woman did so, the car sped up at high speed and hit the two victims until it bounced, then fled.
Arion closed both of his eyes. At first he had a little doubt about what Adhisty had said earlier. But after seeing this tape, he believed that what his stepbrother said was the truth.
"Do you know this woman?" ask the bus carefully.
Arion clenched both his hands and nodded. At the same time, Aiden called himself and said that they found the car used by the suspects to hit the Sekar family.
The car was apparently destroyed using a shredding machine at a used vehicle shelter 70 km away from the scene.
Armed with the information obtained, the plan they will ask for the cooperation of the police in Jakarta to arrest the perpetrator and his accomplice.

"Have you felt better?" arion asked Sekar who was sitting next to him. After dinner Arion invites Sekar to sit on the bale to spend some time together. The man deliberately did not talk about the development of his case to the girl, because he had just recovered his condition.
Sekar nodded. "Thank you for bothering to contact my brother and best friend, Mas" he said.
"Thank God that their presence makes you feel better" Arion said.
Both of them were silent for a moment. Scrub gently rubbing the bale they were sitting on. His eyes then looked at the house that was now the relic of his only family, which he had. Realizing his life now a piece of kara made Sekar again shed tears.
Arion who realized that then wiped away the tears of Sekar that flowed down his cheeks.
"God is so amazing" Sekar said, "I wasn't left alone until I was almost 26. In addition to my family, it turns out that God also wants me to live independently," he continued with discordant laughter.
"It feels like misfortune has never escaped my life." Screaming wiped his tears then smilingly looked at the starless night sky.
Arion. Little did he ever feel being in the position of Sekar. Losing both parents makes the spirit to live no longer as big as it used to be. But that is the way people travel to maintain balance.
"May I ask you something?" ask Arion suddenly.
I looked towards the man. "What?" ask the girl.
Arion cleared his throat for a moment, before finally venturing out to reveal something, which had been his intention since the beginning to set foot in Sekar's hometown. "After all this is done, will you come with me to Jakarta?" Arion twisted his body and looked at Sekar deeply. His hand then held the girl's hand.
"You don't have to worry about this house. I'll find someone to take care of it." Arion tries to convince Sekar.
"I have no one in Jakarta" said Sekar flatly.
"You have me, you have Bi Ida, Dini, Candra and your friends there."
Sekar bowed listlessly. The girl refused to answer Arion's invitation. Right now, all he thought about was his desire to see the suspects, who had already bumped into his two loved ones to the awful tew4s.
Arion who understood Sekar's state, no longer forced him. He let Mech to think about it first.
The girl did not resist as Arion pulled her into the man's arms. He even closed his eyes, as Arion softly gave a light peck at the top of his head.
...***...
"Where are you, Dis?" Erlina welcomed Adhisty's arrival with a sharp gaze typical of the woman. "Why hasn't your phone been picked up?" tanyanya.
"Today's work is really time-consuming, Ma," Adhisty replied as he passed by the mother standing in the way of the apartment door.
"Stop right there!" the woman's orders.
Adhisty clucked in annoyance and stopped his steps.
"Lately it seems you've been avoiding Mama. What's up?" erlina asked as soon as she arrived before Adhisty. The woman looked at the child's face with a suspicious look.
"I'm just too tired to work. I'm going to go to the room first." Adhisty again stepped and passed the mother who is now standing while folding both hands.
"Did you secretly know something, Dis? Or behind Mama's back, are you doing something you don't want?"
The question that Erlina asked later, made Adhisty's heart almost explode. Trying to be ordinary, the woman stopped and turned to look at her mother. "Mama remember no, after Abiyan was caught I vowed not to interfere in the morning. So, it's up to Mama to do anything, just don't involve me. Now I'm just focused on work, to keep our lives safe!" adhisty said firmly. He continued his steps towards the room.
"You're right. If you don't want to get my wrath, keep closing your eyes and ears!" erlina's cry was completely ignored by Adhisty. He continued to step into the room and locked the door.
Inside Adhisty's room rested his body on the door. Tears that had been held since then immediately poured down the entire face of the woman. He raised both hands that were shaking violently, then as hard as possible hit them to the thigh to stop the vibration.
