The Former

POWER OF ATTORNEY

"Based on analysis and evidence. With this the judge ruled, the defendant on behalf of Vino Respati Manggala, was found guilty of maximum imprisonment for life and a fine of one billion rupiah. Geck. Geck. Tok," said the judge at the hearing with the hammer's knock.

Vino who was sitting in the suspect's seat immediately lowered his head to hold his cry.

'Cnh ...'

My heart was like it was pierced by a very sharp object. So piercing. Makes my body feel empty. Powerless. It was as if he was about to fall with a darkened look.

"Nggaaakkkkk ..," I said shouting in the middle of the courtroom.

I woke up with sweat. My heart is beating so fast. Breath as if only left at the end of the throat. I tried to slowly regulate my breath.

"Huffhhh .. thank goodness it's just a dream" I said with my hands holding my chest.

I took a breath, long. There was relief after throwing my breath back. Really, this dream scared me. Makes me keep thinking about Vino's situation there.

'What if this nightmare is real? What about Vino's fate? What about Maya?' my mind is immersing my face in both my hands.

Long enough I've been sculpting. It felt not strong to just lift my face that lowered earlier. I put all my remaining energy into getting up. I saw the clock on the wall right above the bookshelf. It's 4 in the afternoon. Maya is still asleep. I let him wake up by himself. I can't bear to wake her up. I was in a hurry to leave Maya's room.

In the front room, Ms. Iyem who was busy with her routine activities was cleaning up the house, reprimanded me when she saw me walking towards my room. I just looked around, nodded and smiled. Arriving at the room, I immediately took a shower. Not for long, because I have to do something. Even though I entrusted the Vino case with Dimas, I still insisted on being active in solving the Vino case. Looking for loopholes anywhere and anywhere, so that I can more quickly get Vino out of custody.

'Silence won't make Vino come back to this house, ' thought I was ready to go out.

"Mom Iyem, come on Maya ya Bu. I'm out for a second. There's still business" I said, leaving Ms. Iyem a little confused.

Ms. Iyem just nodded her head with her eyes following me, as if I was not willing to leave. Then he ran after me.

"Bu .. Where are you going? kasian neng Maya Bu, later if he wakes up it must be nyariin Mom. I'm afraid Neng Maya is even saddened, Mom," said Bu Iyem, trying to prevent me from leaving.

"Bu Iyem's. I'm just gonna be a minute. It's really important. Later if such as Maya nanyain I, say I'm again taking care of the case of his father. Maya must understand Mom, I'll take Maya, yes" I said trying to calm Ms. Iyem down.

"Yes ma'am if it concerns the business of the Father. Patient mother, ma'am, take care of your health, hopefully the business is finished quickly," said Bu Iyem asserted my words.

I'm going alone. Without Mr. Dadang who used to accompany me and replace me driving when I was feeling bad. I dare to bring my own car. Because I have to finish this myself. The car I drive is traveling at medium speed. I'm in a hurry, but safety is a lot more important.

*****

The car I was carrying was parked at the Police Station where Vino was being held. I don't want to see Vino. Instead of meeting the police who were given the task earlier this morning to arrest Vino. Coincidentally the cop is there, he's still on duty. I'll approach her soon.

"Excuse me Sir, I'm Tasya's mother. Mr. Vino's wife who was arrested this morning" I said.

The cop was getting a call, the chatter sounded a little serious. Just a nod and a smile that He replied to welcome my greeting. He soon stopped his chatter on the phone. Who then greeted me.

"Sorry Mom, come on. I'm Mr. Suroto. Please sit. Can I help you?" friendly word.

"This Sir. I want to ask you about the persecution of Mr. Rey who was accused to My Husband. Do I know whose report is on whose behalf, sir? Is it Mr Rey himself?" said explain.

"By Ma. For a moment I saw the file," said Mr. Suroto who then took the file in the green folder.

"Okay sir" I said waiting for him.

"In the report, Mr. Rey fell into a coma due to the persecution committed by Mr. Vino. It is also written here that the report is not a victim, but rather a close friend or relative of the victim who saw directly at the scene, and recorded the persecution," mr. Suroto said what he read.

I gasped in shock after hearing what Mr. Suroto explained. There are new facts I have discovered. Rey is still in a coma. The one who reported Vino was not Rey, but someone who claimed to be Rey's relative.

'Who is He? What was he doing at the scene? I know the park near Rey's apartment is very quiet. No one even wants to go there. If there is, there must be an appointment because there is important business. Then why did he record only at the end? Is it because He just came and saw fit in the end? Ahh, I don't know ... I still don't understand.' I was confused.

The park that is located close to Rey's apartment does not look like a garden in general. Very dirty and unkempt, because it is at the end of a road that has been almost a year not functioning that was once an alternative road. Since then, the park has rarely been visited by people. I know, Rey must have deliberately chosen that place because she wanted to harm Vino. But turned around, because Vino fought back, it was Rey who was wretched. Due to his resistance, Vino now stumbles upon a case that could put his career on the brink of collapse.

"Sorry sir, may you know on behalf of who reported the allegations to Mr Vino?," I asked curiously.

"By Mom, just a second. On behalf of ... Indri Thalia Putri," he said, pointing to the name on the report paper.

I was too scared to hear that name. Like I can't believe what I just heard. Yeah, I know that name. Even knew him well.
