The Gem of the Heart of the Former Thug

princess fear

In the holding cell, Stevani became more religious. He already wants to perform prayers, even though he does not want to hijab. He also wanted to teach. The police allowed one of the Islamic institutions to send its members to provide spiritual protection to the suspects. Especially those who have been waiting for the trial for a long time.

Seorang ustadzah secara rutin dua hari sekali memberikan bimbingan membaca Al-Quran. Membuat Stevani merasa mempunyai teman. Tausiah-tausiah dari ustadzah itu juga berangsur-angsur menenangkan batinnya. Menebalkan semangatnya yang kian menipis.

The Ustadzah also taught the practice of asking Allah for protection from danger, including physical violence while in this prison cell. And according to Stevani the practice was quite successful in seducing his God. To date, he has never been as physically violent as Dino or any other prisoner when interrogated. Just a couple of unmarked slaps.

“You abis slapped again, yes?”

A man can see the former slap even though for others it is not visible.

“I, yes om” replied Stevani.

He looked down and threw his face away, hiding his cheeks that still felt a little sore. The man breathed heavily.

“No news from papa, om?” ask Stevani.

“Hem?” the man gasped.

“Huff. Your papa, huh?” continue that man.

“Emang om Paul did not tell papa?” ask Stevani again.

“Udah from your first here, om already tell papa you. But you will know for yourself, papa you are now rich how” replied the person Stevani called o Paul. Yes, Mr. Paul Budi's superior.

“Ya Alloh” complains Stevani.

“Udahlah, Van! Why do you also think about your papa? He's not the father you used to know. Rich kebo stuffed his nose. Nurut mulu with your stepmother. Hard spielain”

“Iya, um. Vani just kangen and papa. Vani wants to be visited by papa. Once is also okay”

“Hemm”

“Still yes, om. I want to take care and always be there for Vani”

“Van, why do you thank me? I don't need that. You want to change the position of Antasena aja, om already happy, Van. There are those who thank you. You want to nganggep om like your own papa”

“Iya, um. Vani is om's nephew. Just like Vani rich son of his own. But sorry Vani yes, om. Vani ngerepotin om Paul”

“Kalo Vani not ngerepotin, om even sad. That means you can take care of everything yourself. And you do not need om anymore” replied Paul.

“Allohu Akbar, om”

Stevani kisses Paul's hand while crying. He was happy to have a family that loved him very much. Even if it's just his sister, not his own father.

“You're patient yes, Van!” paul said a moment later.

“Police is trying to solve the mystery of the tape. I can't stop, because it's too neat. Who did it, he's not just anyone. He's a software expert. Who is patient, yes!” continued Paul sir.

“Iya om, Vani knows. Vani has also been asked twice about the tape”, Stevani replied.

“Keep, what do you answer?”

“Ya Vani answer as is. Sort out those conversations. But yes, that's how it is. Vani was forced to confess”, Stevani replied while showing her cheek.

“Om searchin fetish, yes?” haggard mr paul.

“Hempf. Make what? There are only these in”

“Yes let you be immune, not mempan dikasari”

“Ha ha ha ha. Vani already has, om”

“Fatitude?”

“More than talimat”

“Oh yes? What is it?”

“Ibadah” replied Stevani. Paul was stunned by that answer.

“Pake talisman that means we ask help genie. Vani, ask for help directly the same that created the genie, om” continued Stevani, answering the confusion of his om.

“Hem, om no sampe his knowledge. Altitudes. Mending said rattan, deh” said mr. paul.

Sontak Stevani chuckled at his reply. Indeed, he still does not know whether Mr. Paul really does not understand his intentions, or just pretend, so that he is happy. But looking at her cute body gesture, she felt amused and wanted to laugh.

After school, the Princess was picked up by Zulfikar. He was invited to eat first at the fishbed cafe, where his future sister-in-law performs every Sunday night. Although it is a bit awkward because it still uses uniforms, but the Princess really enjoys the moment of togetherness with her loved ones.

“Pass later, where do you want to go to college, dek?” ask Zulfikar.

“Here aja, mas. I can't bear to leave mother” replied Princess.

“Why, mas?” ask Princess.

“Ciee, who is afraid of being left behind. Ha ha ha ha” Goda Princess.

“He he's. Iya” sahut Zulfiqar.

“Oh yes, mas. Adek want something, nih” said Putri.

“What?”

“About the case Vani. The tape. That's a real recording, mas?” ask Princess. There was a look of worry on his face. Zulfikar smile.

“Did not be afraid. It will not change status. Adek also did not know. It's all a coincidence. The thing in Vani's room turned out to be engineering, is not wrong in us, right?” replied Zulfikar while grasping the Princess' palm.

“But really not, it's a recording? That clear? The horror tuh, rich adek chat with mas gini. Not a voice from above” asked Princess still curious.

Zulfikar smiled again. He knew that his lover was afraid, if he considered slandering people.

“Yes. Humans are given weaknesses and strengths as well. Well, that weakness is exploited by people who have advantages” replied Zulfikar.

“Means?”

“Adek is not wrong. Hearing is real. There are only people who are experts at processing sound, so that it can sound like a real original person” voice

“Ya Alloh. So that's real recording? How can his voice look like Vani's voice, mas? It's just an alibi, right?”

“Alibi?”

“Yes, alibis. Surely he already knows that the police will find evidence to the most unlikely corner though. There may be something that escapes the attention of many people, but he is sure that the police will definitely find out. CCTV example”

“Ya keep doing what, deck? Same time. The fall to him too, his charge” Zulfikar smiled happily, seeing the Princess could think tactically so.

“Ya make nimbulin impression, as if she was framed by someone. If there's CCTV, he's looking forward to leaving before we go to the contract, it could be his alibi. That day he was not in contract. If the police asked about the recording, he just said that the recording was not a whole unit. Somehow, I don’t know, maybe she hid some thing in the tape. Something we can't hear, but it can be detected in a digital laboratory. Some one will be black sheep, and she will get her freedome” replied Princess at length. Still in a voice almost whispering. Zulfikar smiled wider.

“Adek want to be polwan?” ask Zulfikar.

“Mas. Don't miss the topic, deh!” luh Princess.

Zulfikar. They looked at each other in a moment's silence.

“Insting, important to use. But baper, don't get to!” Zulfikar. The princess scrunched her forehead.

“In case disclosure, we must be free from prejudice. Even if we do not like the suspect, but if concrete evidence proves that he is innocent, it must be accepted if he is innocent” continued Zulfikar.

“Mas Zul would like to say if the evidence that exists now, leads to the freedom of Vani? proof that he's innocent? That?” ask the Princess with a sewot face. It seems that he does not like to hear that Stevani will soon be free.

“We again got this case. Thugs hired by Dino, already caught outside Java. This is the process of being brought here. As a result of the temporary inspection, the thugs said that if the tape they gave K made on the computer in Vani's room when we rented it, they got it from Dino”

“Dino?”

“Ya”

“The damned man. Very different from her brother” comments Princess lyirih, full of emotions.

“But he dodged. He did not acknowledge the recording. He was just saying about the braking it”

“Loh, about the injection?”

“Yes. That's what he admitted. It was a dia” initiative Zulfikar replied. Princesses stunned.

“Klop, anyway.we also have not found out which explicitly states that Vani who has an idea about injecting it” continued Zulfikar.

“Huuufffftt”

The princess breathed a heavy sigh. He did not like hearing the news. In his heart, he was disappointed with Stevani. But in his head, his logic says that evidence is everything. Zulfikar clasped the Princess' hand again.

“We also again analyze, what device would be made to record the sound it” said Zulfikar. The princess did not.

“Mas knows, surely adek do not like this news. If mas is in the adek position, surely mas also ngerasain the same” continued Zulfikar.

“Iya, mass. Honestly, I don't like Vani. Regardless he is guilty or enggak” said the Princess.

“Like it or not, it's everyone's right. But mas pesen, adek do not make statements that are contrary to the law! Can blunder” order Zulfikar with a smile.

“Iya, mass. Adek knows, kok” replied Princess follow smiling.

“But, really right, Adek will not rise status?” ask Princess.

“Enggak” replied Zulfikar briefly.

The princess breathed again. There was a smile of relief on his lips. For him, even if in the end Stevani is free, it is not a matter for him. Just so he doesn't get dragged in. After all, his dislike was only because of Stevani's relationship with his brother. As long as he's not in touch with his brother, it means he has no problem with Stevani.
