The Couple AL

Little Hope

...Happy reading ♡...

...*****...

Almost desperate for reality. In short, the time until it does not feel like five years have passed. Alvino pondered with his face down. But the curiosity and affection for both parents is greater than all. He's at the police station. As per his promise beside him was prof. Glen was accompanying her and in front of her was the police officer she was working with who had been helping her for the past five years, Mr. Dika.

Mr. Dika who shook as the police chief is known for his assertiveness and flexibility in work. There have been many cases that he has handled with satisfactory results. His unyielding attitude made many people believe in him, including Alvino. He is almost four-headed now. Not too old, not too young. Frequently communicating, Alvino feels the affection that makes him remember his parents.

"You are a smart and wise child" said Mr. Dika suddenly made the head of Alvino who originally looked down to be staring at him.

"Just tell me what's really going on" Alvino said as if he knew there was something Mr. Dika wanted to say.

Mr. Dika smiled at Alvino's sensitivity. It is quite hard to say this to Alvino given the spirit of Alvino who has been with him for five years and entrusts the case of his parents to him. He already considered Alvino as his own son. This case should have been resolved long ago. But there is a strange thing that makes him unable to finish quickly because a choice depends on him.

"You know how long we've been on this case? Five years. Until now, the case has not been solved. Actually the body of your parents can not be recognized when autopsied, because the accident was very severe. The hospital isn't sure if it's the bodies of your parents."

Alvino's eyes spontaneously rounded in surprise. Apparently his guess is right. The body in the car was not his parents. It turned out that there was still hope in his heart if his parents were still alive, even though the hope was very small, as small as possible. If he is dead, Alvino wants to know who did it and what caused it. Because Alvino has let go of both parents.

Profs. Glen was happy to hear that. He had not expected the effort Alvino had put in so much.

"But ...," said Mr. Dika hanging his words while looking at Alvino and prof. Glen in turn.

"But what?" Alvino looked at Mr. Dika inside.

"The possibilities are very small."

Alvino breathed heavily. He already figured that's what happened. His chest was tight to hear it. But it would not make him give up just like that after his five-year struggle. Profs. Glen patted his grandson's shoulder to be steadfast in the face of the challenge.

"Everything will be fine. You take it easy" said the prof. Glen with his smile.

Alvino nodded.

Profs. Glen turned his eyes to Mr. Dika. "My granddaughter Alvino told me there was evidence of the accident" he said.

Mr. Dika nodded. "Yes, that's right. All the evidence is in my hands, sir. A ring and a cell phone in which there is a video piece about the tragedy of the incident" explained Mr. Dika.

"Ring?" reset prof. Glens.

"Yes." Yeah."

"Can I see it?" ask prof. Glens.

Mr. Dika smiled. "Of course, sir, wait a minute."

After saying that, Mr. Dika took the cell phone in his room and called his man.

Gts ... Gts ... Gts ...

The sound of knocking on the door was heard from outside the door.

"Lake in." Mr. Dika instructed the man to enter his room.

"This is the proof sir" said the man, and handed him two envelopes that turned out to be one of them inside with a small plastic ring. Mr. Dika thrusting the ring prof. Glen without opening the plastic.

"Thank you."

"Together, I'm sorry sir." The man left the room after saying goodbye to them.

Profs. Glen examined the ring. His eyes were slightly watery looking at the ring he recognized. It was the ring she gave to father Alvino for her son-in-law. The ring was a hereditary ring from his parents and was long gone after the accident. A plain ring with three small gems in the middle. Due to the accident, two of the gems were lost and left with only one gem.

"That's Mama's ring," said Alvino again remembered how beautiful it was when his late mother wore the ring.

When prof. Glen wanted to open the plastic to see the ring clearly, Alvino immediately held it.

"Don't open the cake" forbid Alvino.

"Why?" ask prof. Glen scrunched his forehead.

"There's fingerprints there. We can use it as evidence" explained Mr. Dika and prof. Glen nodded in understanding.

"Yes, okay. And about that video you guys are talking about ... Can I see it?" ask prof. Glen again. He was very curious about what the video meant. If there really was a perpetrator from the accident and it was not a pure accident, he wanted to know who would do it so that the sacrifice of the child and his son-in-law. Because of the act of the man is also his grandson (couple Al) lost both parents

"I've moved the video into memory because the phone was badly damaged. The video was only a few seconds long. I haven't seen it myself, but maybe we can see it now. How's it?" ask Mr. Dika on both.

"All right."

Mr. Dika opened his laptop and then retrieved a memory that was in the other envelope. The police chief put the memory into his laptop and connected it. Then he looked for the video, after meeting him he showed the laptop in front of Alvino and prof. Glens.

"We'll see now."

Mr. Dika pressed the play button, the video was spinning indistinctly. In the footage that only ranged from 30 seconds, they saw the situation in the car was very rowdy. They heard Mama Alvino screaming for help and Papa Alvino trying to control his car to stop. Not long after the car got into the ravine and Mama Alvino threw her phone out the window and lay on the road, it was run over by a car that broke her phone. The car exploded very hard. Despite the incident, many people came around the area, the police came and controlled the situation there.

Tears just drip. Hope is shattered. Alvino could not hold back his tears after seeing the video. He regretted not being able to save his parents. Why didn't Alvino come with them at the time of the accident? Alvino feels like a useless child who can't do anything for his parents. On the other hand Alvino is very grateful there is still Allia beside him. His most valuable treasure than all of them is Allia. Just Allia.

Profs. Glen came crying, his hands immediately moved wiping away his tears.

"Have, don't cry" said the prof. Glen held Alvino's hand.

Alvino nodded and wiped his tears. He must be strong for Allia.

"Thank you, thanks to you we know what really happened" said the prof. Glens.

Mr. Dika smiled kindly. "That's my job. Not only that, I want to pass on one more important piece of information to you guys."

"What's that?"

"His phone. The phone that recorded the video. We can see the contents of the phone before the time of the incident, whether there is something in it such as a message or the last phone number contacted by your parents. We can track him down to more quickly reach the perpetrator's location. It could be both a proof and a clue for us."

Mr. Dika exhaled. "Unfortunately the phone was badly damaged by being run over by the car. But you don't have to worry, I'll take care of everything. If the phone's fixed, I'll let you know."

"Our five-year effort will soon be resolved by Alvino." Mr. Dika smiled, but behind his heart he was worried.

Alvino nodded and smiled. "Thank you, you've been helping me this whole time. I wouldn't know any of this without your help" Alvino said sincerely from his heart.

"You are like my own son Al" said Mr. Dika.

"Thank you for helping my granddaughter" said the prof. Glens.

"I'll do everything for you sir, because this is my duty."

The door of the room was knocked a second time which diverted everything.

"Excuse me Sir. Someone wants to meet you" he said.

"All right, tell him to wait."

"She didn't want to wait, she came with a chatty girl. It looks like it's his son."

Mr. Dika's forehead frowned confused. Who're they? So daring.

"All right, you can go."

The man nodded and left in front of them.

"I'll let you know if there's any other information. Sorry, I think I should see who they are. Oh yeah, one more. Tell your sister Allia that she is very lucky to have an older sister like Alvino. I went outside first, nice to meet you two Mr. Glen, Al." Mr. Dika smiled at them before heading out of his room.

Alvino looked at prof. Glen was smiling. "He's right. You must remember your sister always, she needs you. His happiness depends on you. If he sees you like this, he's sad again. Don't remind him back about the accident to Allia." Profs. Glen let out his advice to get Alvino back in spirit.

Alvino nodded and smiled slightly. "Thank you Grandpa for coming here."

"I am your Grandfather, of course I want to make my granddaughter happy. Grandpa will continue to support you Al."

"You better call Allia and ask her how she is, whether she has eaten or not" suggested the prof. Glen was instantly obeyed by Alvino.

After talking to Allia via her phone, Alvino again spoke to prof. Glens. "Here, he's fine. Al's going home now, Grandpa's coming by the house?"

"For now Grandpa can't. Grandpa is meeting Grandpa Roy. Oh yeah Al, what about my friend Roy's grandson? Are they comfortable living in your home and school?" ask prof. Glens.

Alvino thought for a moment, fondling the right answer to say to his Grandfather, then he nodded "They are good."

But Alvino wants them out of the house. Inner Alvino.

"Thank God there's no problem."

They went outside Mr. Dika's room. When I went outside, there was a commotion there. Mr. Dika tried to evict a man with his son who looked coquettish. Alvino's forehead wrinkled to see a woman who was a woman who always chased him everywhere if at school. Sheila. She was that woman with her Daddy.

"What's this?" mummified prof. Glen saw the commotion that was happening.

"Shei doesn't want to know Daddy, they have to go to jail for hitting Shei and damaging Shei's expensive heels" Sheila said.

"You hear what my son said? Quickly you write down the report and imprison him who hit my son."

"Are you kidding me? Don't waste my time with that useless report. You better leave before you guys I put in a holding cell." Pak Dika's patience has run out with the two people in front of him.

A problem like that should be brought up and end up putting innocent people in jail? Alvino was disgusted to hear it. Alvino doesn't care, he and prof. Glen walked through the crowd.

When she wanted to get angry again, Sheila saw the man she adored. His smile expanded and he immediately ran over to Alvino. While his Daddy continues to argue with Mr. Dika so that he does not realize if his son ran after Alvino.

"Alvino!" sheila shouted, making Alvino's steps stop for a while before returning to walk and ignoring Sheila's call.

"Alvino wait!" Sheila grabbed Alvino's hand which was immediately crushed by Alvino. Sheila did not give up so easily, she again held Alvino's strong hand and struggled spoiled shamelessly even though there were still prof. Glen's over there.

"Alvino dear, you know, there are people who are bad to me so I came here to report it! But I'm glad to see you here. Looks like we're a fool!" sheila said in spirit.

"Remove your hand" Alvino said with her flat face, forcing Sheila to let go of her grip.

"Your boyfriend Al?" ask prof. Glens.

"You who? Yeah, I'm Alvino's girlfriend-to-be. We look good, don't we?" Sheila's getting Alvino fed up.

"Not important Cake. Alvino's coming home, Grandpa better get out of here, too." Alvino left prof. Glen with Sheila.

Profs. Glen researched Sheila from top to bottom. Her clothes were minimal, and she had seen the woman in a storm at the police station with her parents.

"So you're Grandpa Alvino?" ask Sheila.

She tidied her hair and grabbed a hand with prof. Glens.

"Hello Kek, I know my name is Sheila, Alvino Grandpa's future girlfriend."
