Niken looked suspiciously at the Lexus LX570 car he had been using for a week, a gift car from Richard parked in the yard of the Bramasta family mansion.
"Is there something strange?" Richard touched his wife's shoulder. Niken nodded.
Niken checked the vehicle, the wheels and the bottom of the car like something odd. Niken asked her mother-in-law's private driver to try the car, but the driver hesitated and said he was not used to carrying such a car. Niken called Samuel and asked that his car be checked by a team of experts from the police. He felt that something was wrong but was unable to explain the details of the oddity.
Richard did not want to risk losing his wife for the second time to take Niken's device from his hand and spoke to Samuel not to ignore Niken's request.
Just half an hour Samuel came in with a team of private detectives, not the official police force. They researched Niken's car and just ten minutes later one of them found a detonator bomb mounted on a series of gas and car engines, which will instantly activate and explode when the car engine reaches a certain speed.
Richard looked very angry. Now even this killer is blatantly after Niken. With fast and accurate work, the special team managed to clean the bomb and bring the detonator and other components to examine where the bomb came from. They also checked CCTV and checked all family members and all workers inside the mansion without missing a single person. The case was officially handed over to the police.
Richard didn't want to take the slightest risk. She hugged Niken. But the woman looked even tougher than Richard. He kept watching the surroundings with wary eyes.
After CCTV checks were known the footage during the installation process the bomb had been sabotaged. There was no recording when it happened, blank screen.
Richard asked for CCTV copies of the entire corner of the house and the spacious yard to observe him.
"Now all residents of this house are suspects with a 100% chance of harming Richard and especially Niken.
For an unspecified period of time all family members are not allowed to leave Jakarta, for any reason.
Niken won't let everyone touch Evan. Especially the servants. Evan is under his and Richard's watch. Even both of them while traveling use the services of security of victims of violence and threats. Not just from the official police but from a team of professional private detective experts.
That night Niken and Richard sat in their room with a laptop that played every corner of the recording in the house, in vain, almost one night it was a blank screen. Niken closed the laptop and looked at Richard worriedly.
"Honey, there's one big secret I'm going to tell you about Aunt Cyntia, she ..."
Richard nodded slowly.
"It's no secret that what you're saying is Dad's ex-lover." Richard said indifferently. It was as if his mind was not focused.
"Not an ex-honey, but still the wife of the father series and I saw them making out in the kitchen when everyone was asleep, even they slept together in Aunt Cyntia's room."
Richard's eyes instantly darkened and flushed.
"Are you sure honey?" ask Richard.
Niken nodded without hesitation.
"Why did this perp want to kill you honey, even when you were a kid in your house fire?"
The two of them stared at each other as if finding a connected puzelle.
"There is a secret about your birth as a Kinanti and I believe it is very closely related to our parents' past" Richard said.
"you mean? my parents, Barata and Ratih's relationship with Bu Minati and your father Bramasta.
What about Aunt Cyntia? she who led me away from the chaos and the great fire, she took me and even claimed to be my mother, and she was also in that circle of chaos because she was your father's wife."
Richard's stunned.
"Honey, this is an important puzzle that we have to tell Samuel and his team." Niken expressed a desire to bring the important problem.
Richard asked to be postponed first. Because you have to be careful. This is closely related to the good name of the Bramasta family.
Moreover, Richard had to find out the police record of the fire case. Who was suspicious at the time. But when it was questioned, the case was closed within a week of the fire and was considered a regular electrical short circuit.
Niken and Richard stared at each other, this time they shuddered.
"Your father's still alive honey? then where is he, sure is he still alive or made as if still alive?"
Niken rested her head on Richard's shoulder. A tear dripped.
"Someone's been playing with my life since I was a kid. When I came to that house my memory came back and I remembered Aunt Cyntia saved me with the stakes of her life and career. He could have left me in an orphanage or dumped me. But he protected me even willingly moving around."
Richard wiped Niken's tears and hugged her.
"I think differently baby, he's not saving you, but rather taking refuge from something we don't know by keeping you nearby. There's something big he's hiding."
Richard reminds Niken not to easily trust anyone in their family and environment. It would be very dangerous if Niken used feelings to assess the situation.
The husband and wife stared at each other softly. Evan suddenly pulled his second hand.
"Mama, Papa Evan sleeps in this big bed huh."
Evan pointed at Papa and his mother's bed. Richard raised his son and hugged him tightly, then the three of them joked. Evan made the two for a moment forget the complexity of the mind.
******************************
Mrs. Cyntia came to Mr. Bramasta, he walked carefully to Mr. Bramasta's room.
Arriving in that room
Mrs. Cyntia approached the man who was busy with his car.
Mr. Bramasta glanced at Cyntia and immediately closed the conversation on the device.
"Ersa's Dad? what's he want? Threatening you with the case, even he's like patting water on a tray, will splatter into his own face."
"Darling, are you sure that the one who put the bomb in the car was not alone but some people?"
Mrs. Cyntia nodded.
"It's not you, baby, I wouldn't forgive you if it were you, no matter how much I took care of the boy. Even if you hate Barata, you shouldn't do that stupidity!"
Mr. Bramasta got out of his chair and surrounded the table, hugging Mrs. Cyntia and put her head on the woman's shoulder.
"I'm tired baby, tired of all the reality and the circle that shackles us, I just want to live quietly with you, what's in it for me to kill that son of a bitch Barata, she fucked a woman I didn't love, but in any case, she's still my wife to this day."
"I even found out today that Niken is a Kinanti. I thought he was just an ordinary orphan."
Even from Mr.'s face. Bramasta looks painted sneaky grin in front of her lover, but Mrs. Cyntia simply hugged the man back.
"I don't care about my dear Niken, I just don't want you to tarnish your reputation just because of a speck of past dust" Mrs said. Cyntias.
Mr. Bramasta ****** his wife's lips with turbulent lust. The middle-aged man who still looked gallant and charismatic grabbed Cyntia in his arms tightly.
"Don't be here honey." whispered Mrs. Cyntia.
But Mr. Bramasta called his secretary not to let anyone in if he didn't want to be fired. Mr. Bramasta locked his room and took Mrs. Cyntia to the sofa in the middle of the room.
