"Good Morning. We, from the police, want to arrest Mr. Vino on suspicion of persecution on behalf of Mr. Rey. Here's the arrest warrant" the police said, handing over Vino's arrest warrant.


I looked at Vino. Vino understood my point, my eyes as if asking what really happened. Vino just shook his head at me when the police handcuffed him. Maya cries to see what happens in front of her, shaking my body as if she does not accept her father being brought by the Police.


"Mother ... Cepet hold dad, Bun ... Kasian Daddy brought by Mr. Police ... Mother why diem aja .. hiks .. hiks ... Dad .." said Maya crying hysterically.


I was crying too. But I'm powerless. I can't force the police not to take Vino. They caught Vino for sure not without reason. I ran, approaching Vino who wanted to get into the car on the roof. Hugged it.


"Dad ... What is it? Why are you like this?" I asked in a soft voice to hold back the cry.


"You have to trust me, Bun. I'll tell you later at the Police Station" he replied reassuringly.


The police car carrying Vino had already disappeared in a fork in the road. I tried to calm Maya down before I followed Vino to the Police Station.


"Pak Dadang come with ya. Please setirin. I'm afraid not to focus on driving myself." I said in a hurry and got into the car.


Mr. Dadang just bearded and immediately quickly ran to the car. The situation at home feels gripping. Plus Maya who does not want to stop with her crying.


At the Police Station I went straight to Vino who was being interrogated. I sat next to him. My mind grew increasingly confused to see the face of Vino who was like depressed with this problem. I swiped Vino's back so that he would be more calm in answering all the police questions.


The interrogation is over. I was given time to talk to Vino, before Vino walked into the holding room. Vino's face seemed to be carrying a very heavy burden. I'll get bottled mineral water in my bag. Then thrust it into Vino who looks very tired.


"Well .. This is the water first. Let me be calmer." I said I gave him the drink I was holding.


Vino drank. Almost out. After Vino has calmed down a bit, I just started my question.


"Truly Why are you Dad? Why did the police accuse you of molesting Rey? Did you meet Rey yesterday?" ask me to investigate a little.


Vino just shut up, lowered his head. Immediately I raised his face with my hand holding his chin. I looked into her eyes, which always kept me down.


"Dad .. story, let me know the problem. I trust You. There's no way you know what Rey's doing. I know You Well ... You're not this stupid." I said convincing him to tell you a story immediately.


"Huuffhh"


Vino let out a breath that he felt was heavy.


"So it's Bun .." Vino said starting the story.


His eyes look sharp. Vino tries to remember what happened yesterday. I clasped his hand and was reciprocated with a tighter grip.

"Now tell me what you want? There are still more important matters than lingering with you" Vino told Rey, who he met in a park close to Rey's private apartment.


Rey smiled with a grin. A hateful face He cannot hide. Different from Vino. His face was flat, there was no hint of vengeance with the man standing before him, the man who had seized the happiness of his household. There's not much Vino wants. Hopefully, he just wants Rey to forget about his wife. Forgetting the affair.


"So, just because He wants to have an affair with you, it makes you think you've won? No!" vino said with a still calm tone.


"Are you stupid or just crazy? Woman******rich He is still your defense? You crazy?" said Rey pongah.


Vino remained on his stance. Not wanting to eat Rey's words. He tried to keep his heart and head cool. He did not want to pollute his hand just because the man******* was like Rey.


"You said My Wife is female ******? Then why do you want it so much? Do you consider him gold? The diamonds? What do you want to take from the owner? That stupid and insane person is You or Me???!!" said Vino who finally cried a little at the end of his sentence.


Rey is starting to look angry. His face was red and held back emotions. Vino who had calmed down since then also looked a little angry. He spoke again.


"You think I'll just leave Tasya? Tasya is like that because of my fault. It is my fault that may have started to pay less attention to it. Damn it again, he met a loser like you! Losers who can't try to find their own diamonds!" vino said again with a smile that made Rey even more angry.


"Whatdidyou say? Here's a closer talk bren*sek!" said Rey doesn't want to lose.


"Other than crazy, you're deaf too? You Loser!!" vino's words make Rey ride apoplexy.


Unexpectedly, Rey pulled out a folding knife from her pocket. Vino jerks. He retreated. But Rey mercilessly swung her knife into Vino's chest. Vino held Rey's hand. The sharp, pointed knife was held 5 centi above Vino's chest. As powerful as Vino tried to hold it. Vino's impulse grew stronger, until Rey fell. Look at Rey who's careless. Vino immediately ran away from Rey. He doesn't want anything to happen to him. Rey is after him. Inevitably, Vino also had to fight and face it with his bare hands. Rey's gaze was sharp, It was getting more and more fidelity. Rey immediately swung back the knife that would be thrown into Vino's chest.


"Braaggg"


A large stone vino slammed into Rey's head. Rey fell down instantly. Fresh blood flowed from his head and temples. Rey is in so much pain.


"Aahhhh .." ringis Rey endured the pain by holding her bloodied head.


For just a few seconds, Rey was unconscious. Vino was glued to witness what had just happened. He's very sorry. Banging his head. Then kneel down and squeeze his head back with both hands. He imagined what he would face after this.


'Yes Allah ... What do I do?' muttered Vino regretted it.


-----


I cried listening to Vino's story. I looked at her face that looked worried. I wiped the tears that started to drip. Trying to strengthen her and convince her everything will be fine.


"Don't be afraid Dad. I'll try to get you out of here. I'm gonna hire a lawyer we can count on. You're not wrong, Dad. You're just freaking yourself out." I said giving Vino strength.


Vino smiled thinly. Trying to calm himself. He doesn't want me to get caught up in this sadness. Vino wiped away my tears that had just burst out. He hugged me, tightly. Real tight.


"Greetings to Maya ya Bun. Tell me not to worry. I'll be home soon." he said calmly.


I couldn't hold back my tears that seemed to keep pushing and wanted to spill them immediately. Tirmataku. Wetting Vino's shoulders.


'Sorry I Well .. It's all my fault. I promise I'll get you out of here. I promise!' my heart was hugging Vino.
