STALKERS

25. Promises

His zevanya opened both of his eyelids. He blinked repeatedly, his vision returning to normal. Right now Zevanya is in someone's car. He was in the hospital to get the results of a DNA test. From the middle rearview mirror, the face of a peeking man looked at him.

“Udah aware lo?”

“Zevano? Lo who broke me off those two guys?” ask Zevanya make sure.

Zevano. “Iya. I just happen to be there.”

For a moment the atmosphere became silent, Zevanya thought this was no coincidence. Twice he saved her from danger. He opened his sling bag, looking for the white envelope he got from the hospital. Missing. At a glance, Zevanya was reminded by two black-masked people following her.

They took the DNA test results?

Zevano glanced towards the central rearview mirror, his gaze turning on the white envelope that was under his feet. Obviously not in Zevanya's bag. The DNA test results had already fallen into his hands, he hoped the girl would stop to find out about her twin brother. Not without reason, it was all for his safety.

“Gue thinks this is no coincidence.” Zevanya took a breath for a moment. “Sorry if I'm sassy, but ... I feel like my twin brother who went missing 9 years ago.”

“Having the same name does not mean we are twins. Many kok, whose names are the same, but they have no brother ties.” Zevano replied.

“But why ... Why are you always there when I'm in danger? That means ... lo follow me right ..” Zevanya faltered in saying her last sentence.

Zevano leaned his head. “Lo hallucinations can too. Since when have I been following you? Stop assuming I'm your twin brother. I'm just as different. My name is Zevano Orlando, satisfied lo?”

Hearing that, Zevanya's chest felt tight to the point of not being able to catch her breath. He decided to get out and get away from Zevano's car. His last name is a fake name. His real name is Zevano Adriansyah Pradipta.

Seeing his Zevanya come out, the man opened the windshield. “Zevanya, where are you going?!”

“Not to be pretentious to act like my twin brother. Lo not him!”

Zevanya shed tears. He turned forward, walking down the street of the overpass. Zevano felt guilty, because he had said words that should not need to be said. His heart ached seeing Zevanya's tears. The man got out of his car, following his twin.

However, just one step. A car stopped in front of the Zevanya. Out came the figure of a man from inside, running towards the girl with a look of anxiety. His voice turned sobbing. Arga immediately held Zevanya tightly.

“It turns out I was wrong. Zevano is not my twin brother.”

“There is still another time to find her, so, do not despair.” said Arga while rubbing the girl's head. “There's me here. I promise I'll help you find it.”

From far away, the two men looked at each other. Yes, before Arga got there, Zevano had sent a message to keep the truth that the DNA test results were suitable. Zevano also admitted that he was involved in a stalker group. The man wanted to get out of his dark job, by turning himself in to the police. But not now.

There is Arga now. Zevano could breathe a sigh of relief, then returned to his car and left the couple on the overpass.

“Why did you go not tell me the same?” asked Arga in a worried tone. The tip of his fingers wiped the remaining Zevanya tears on his cheeks.

Zevanya doesn't answer anything. It takes time to calm down. Arga raised his chin, raising the girl's head to look at him. “I promise will help you find Zevano.”

“Lo promise?”

Arga stared fixedly at Zevanya. “Ya, I promise.”

Zevanya did not know, if the promise that Arga meant was to meet him with Zevano directly.

Seen in the iron bars, the two of them just sat down while daydreaming indistinctly. Gavin approached the holding cell, then inserted the plastic.

Seeing that, they immediately gasped as the plastic bag was thrust by Gavin. Rifky was very enthusiastic about receiving food from his boss. “Pak Police? This for us?”

“Iya, make you. Eat the full.”

“Thank you, Sir.” said Arjuna.

They sit on the floor mat. Arjuna was a little suspicious of the police's sudden attitude of giving them good food. Rifky ate it voraciously, like a starving person. During their time in the detention cell, the police gave only bread and bottled mineral water.

“Lo not eat?” rifky asked to see that Arjuna had not touched the food.

“Ngeliat lo eat my appetite so lost.”

Rifky laughed a little. “Lo should be grateful, when again we eat en—”

As Rifky said his last sentence, there was something strange inside his body. The man collapsed, then convulsed. Arjuna immediately asked the other police for help, to help Rifky who had a strange reaction after eating the food. Sandy opens the prison cell door, and examines Rifky's body.

Sandy placed two fingers on Rifky's neck. “His breathing is weakening, what he ate earlier.”

“This.” Arjuna thrust the bag of plastic at Sandy.

Sandy took the chicken in it, watching the food closely. “Rega, try lo pesen the same food. We're different in both.”

“Oke.”

Sandy called an ambulance to take Rifky to the hospital for further checks. Luckily Arjuna did not eat it. The man is hungry, if asked to choose McDonald's food or bread, Arjuna prefers bread rather than good food.

Meanwhile, Gavin laughed out loud in his car. Arjuna and Rifky are dying soon, there's nothing to worry about. The trial will not be held because the perpetrator died of food poisoning. An ambulance stopped in front of the police station. Some cops came to support Rifky's body.

“Oh, still survive it. Relax Rifky, soon you will die.”

After witnessing Rifky being taken away by hospital personnel, Gavin followed the ambulance from behind. His car and Arga's car passed. The man stopped by the police station because he wanted to swipe his twin, and asked Arjuna for help to catch the perpetrator.

One of the policemen opened the door of the holding cell, sending Arjuna out to meet someone. Arga noticed his twin brother, the man looks healthy even though his body condition is a little thin.

Arga thins his smile. “How does it feel to stay at a police station? This is not how much, after the trial the situation will be even more difficult.”

“What do you want to get here?”

“If you want to be free, help me to catch the killer.”

“Gue can help you, but I don't want to be released from prison. This is where I should be.”

Arga developed a smile. In fact, he just mince words will free Arjuna. He was proud of the way his twin brother enjoyed life in prison. Arjuna also realized that the criminal acts he had been doing were wrong.

“Pray for you to get a life sentence, not a death sentence. That way you can repair yourself before you die.”

To be continued.
