THE BARA OF THE PAST

Harmful Substances

Asep was upset that his words were not written by the officers. Fortunately, at the right time, Marcela's lawyer walked into the room.

"Now you know, Mr. Police, that I am innocent" Asep said in self-defense.

"Not ... This is because Mr. Baskoro who made the complaint is in a sick condition."

"How's lawyer? Do you guarantee your clients won't run away?" ask officer.

The lawyer nodded reassuringly, "We will go to Mr. Baskoro because he has no one left. We will solve this problem in a familial manner."

Asep was eventually released on bail while awaiting development.

At the hospital, Zara and Devano were waiting anxiously for the doctor who examined Baskoro to remain in the IGD room.

"Calm down, Devano, don't worry too much. The doctor will be out soon."

"I don't understand, Zara. Decades I assumed that my father was someone else and not Baskoro. That name that suddenly came before the seconds I said ijab qobul. Baskoro has thrown it all away. Then, now he asked me for help and I again had to get involved with his affairs. Isn't this really unfair!"

It feels like Devano is desperate. Life does often provide a very subjective lesson about justice.

"Maybe today you are in a position to feel that destiny is not on your side. However, believe me, nothing is in vain" Zara said, calming Devano down.

"I'm confused how to behave. Because it's too heavy. I should have just let it go, right?"

Again Zara shook her head, "You are just now showing me who Devano really is. If Mr. Baskoro is guilty of abandoning your mother, there will surely be a punishment. And we do not know how long Cecep has been doing evil to Pak Baskoro. I beg Devano, hold your heart first."

Devano closed his eyes. It is true that he did want to meet the man who had made his mother miserable, but instead get the fact that Baskoro's life was also more sad.

"What's wrong?" zara asked as she watched Devano close his lips with his index finger. Devano looked around. He saw some suspicious looking men.

"Shut up here! I'll check around. I think Baskoro has a lot of enemies who want him to be wretched."

"You don't scare me, Devano!" Zara scared.

"You're here, Zara! I'll drop Baskoro for a second, please!"

"Don't call him that. He's your father, Devano!"

"Yes, okay. Okay, Mr. Baskoro, I leave him to you for a while. I'll see things around here."

Devano looked at the few people who were observing into the room, then the person rushed away. Not just once, but several times. That's what makes Devano sure that Baskoro's position is no longer safe.

After making sure everything was fine, Devano returned to the doorstep of the IGD room. Surya has already arrived there.

"Where, Om? Has Cecep been taken to the police station?"

"At that time, picked up at the notary's house and taken to the police station. But Om just got word that Cecep was released because there wasn't enough evidence."

"Damn ... Why are the police in such a hurry!"

"He was handled by the best lawyer. I don't know who's behind all this either. We can only hope, Mr. Baskoro soon rumored and can give a statement to the police so Cecep will not be able to dwell again. We still don't know what's going on, do we?"

Zara and Devano nodded. "Zara, you better go to a hotel near the hospital. Papa will follow. Just let me know if you get the hotel!"

"Good, Pa."

"Alright, then let Papa wait for Pak Baskoro. Poor thing he doesn't have any relatives."

Suddenly Devano stopped his steps. He was thinking, did Liodra need to be told that now he had met their Father.

But soon Devano get rid of that feeling, considering Liodra's condition right now must also be in a state of turmoil because Ryo is still not found.

After delivering Zara to the hotel, Devano returned to the hospital again.

"It's better to just go back to the hotel. Let Devano stand guard here" said Devano.

A moment later the doctor came out of the IGD room. "The patient is still critical, unconscious. We'll check his condition thoroughly."

"What exactly happened?"

"We found a very dangerous substance in his body. That's what makes Mr. Baskoro unconscious" said the doctor.

Devano and Surya take a look. "Maybe this has something to do with Cecep. The police shouldn't be in a hurry to release him" Surya complained.

"Can we give it to the police with this evidence?"

"Let Om ask Om's friend who is in the police. This time we can't be reckless. Cecep could have been evasive and said he did not know about the dangerous substances that are now in Baskoro's body."

"Well then it's best if Om goes straight to the hotel, let me keep watch here."

"From that moment Om heard you say you were going to be on guard. What's wrong?"

"Something seems to be stalking us, Om. Devano saw some suspicious people walking in front of the IGD."

Surya looked around. He could understand that Cecep alone could be released, meaning that there were others who were carrying out certain plans.

"Then let Om be here to accompany you."

"No need to worry, Om Surya just go back to the hotel. Let Devano be here." Surya finally relented and returned to the hotel.

Meanwhile, Ranto was agitated because he still did not get complete information about Baskoro.

He called Marcela, "Baskoro is still on the IGD. It seems like his condition is very severe. Outside the room was Devano waiting. So what am I supposed to do?"

Marcela received Ranto's report. "Just wait there until Baskoro gets the room. It's too dangerous to finish him off in the IGD room. There are a lot of people there."

"All right, I get it. Pray that Baskoro will not be saved, then our duty will be lighter."

Marcela smiles. "Dad's been released from the police station. So you'd better meet him at Baskoro's house. But keep your men in the hospital to monitor the old man."

Ranto obeyed Marcela's orders. He met Asep at Baskoro's house. However, when it was about to enter the house, it turned out that in the courtyard there were already many police.

"Marcela, it turns out that Baskoro's house has been guarded by many police. Looks like your father's not in this house."

"I can't reach him either. But the lawyer said he wanted to go home to secure everything. You understand what I mean?" urged Marcela.

Ranto nodded his head. "So what should I do now?"

"I'll wait until I connect with Dad. If you want, try another house. Who knows you're there" Marcela said later.
