“Eh. Si Adel, how are you?”
The trivial question from Erika was quite capable of grabbing everyone's attention. Especially the one who just entered the room. Even Bayu who was yawning became cut off yawn. His eyes were fresh at the question.
Yes, they did start the day earlier than usual. Because they choose to work, according to what they can do. And they have to adjust their working hours in Indonesia, which is certainly five hours early.
“Oh, fine. Why?” reply Budi continued asking back.
“Ngak papa's. Want it, the continuation of the project, how?” erika Sahut.
“Oh. Yes, continue. For kloter three, while this is subcont first. Wait for the construction of the workshop so” replied Budi.
“Wuih. The workshop was rebuilt, Bud?” ask Deni.
“Iya, Den. Thank God, there are good people who want nolongin” replied Budi.
“Si Luki, yes?” erika Sahut.
All eyes were on him. No exception with Budi. But then he smiled.
“Not. The winner, Mr. Fajar”, replied Budi still with a smile.
The others smile. They are grateful for this good news. They agreed to pause their work activities. Together, they held an emergency thanksgiving.
Yes, in Erika's room, which was transformed into a co-working space, they sat around. Just a prayer together, giving thanks for the help of Gusti Alloh. Be moved by the attitude of his friends. Although they are nobody, Adel seems to have earned a special place in their hearts.
In a place far from sight, Stevani is anxiously awaiting his meeting with his lawyer. The news of the capture of the intellectual brain a few days ago, made him happy but at the same time vigilant. Because it turns out that the intellectual brain is a person who knows himself very well.
Isma knew many things about herself that no one else knew. Some of Isma's accusations that he vehemently rejected were actually the right ones. It's just that he's manipulating the data.
He deeply regretted how he did not realize that Isma was not a random person. And now he has to face the other side of Isma never seen before.
“Mas Hendra” said, when meeting his lawyer.
“How are you, mbak? How come it's still so grim, his face?” sahut Hendra saluting Stevani.
“I'm still in shock, mas. Kaya still does not believe that, if the brain of all this turns out to be Isma”, Stevani replied.
“Yes. Many do not believe. Even Adel and Budi as well, I heard not yet believe”
“But is the evidence pointing to all of him? That lighter, that software, got hold of the tape”
“They didn't reject that either. Just their feelings. They did not believe that Isma could do such a thing. Like mbak Vani”
“Huuufttt. How do we keep going, mas?” ask Stevani.
“Mbak Vani is quiet, yes!” pinta Hendra's.
“How calm? Yesterday Hendra mas said his father Adel's woodworking workshop was on fire again. I was in prison and still able to do rich action. How can I calm down, mas?”
“The fire yesterday had nothing to do with the intellectual brain. It was purely their internal strife”
“Seriously? Know where?”
“The culprit is already stuck, mbak. He confessed everything. Even if the police don't believe that. They continue to investigate the person's relationship with previous cases. But at least, many times the culprit said that he burned his own boss workshop arena upset with his boss's son it”
“Si Adel?”
“Yes. The accident occurred because of a quarrel between Adel and the perpetrator. She doesn't even know about Vani's mother, about the case that concerns Adel and his family. He said, it doesn't matter. He said, the important thing is that the payday is not late. Want his boss to flip over too, not his business”
“Lah. Sableng the man” commented Stevani.
“Ya. I also did not think of” replied Hendra while chuckling.
“Huuffft. Thank goodness that's so. Hopefully he really doesn't dwell in the holding cell” Stevani commented again.
“Yes. In that cell, he was not warting. So Vani can focus on preparing for the trial without worrying about a new tragedy”
“Oh yes, really. Uh, but what about Adel? He will surely make a new accusation for me. The fire broke out after Isma was arrested. Surely he did not believe it the same police statement” asked Stevani worried.
“Just here the good news”
“Until now, Adel was not sure that Isma was the culprit. She's worried. Before that, many have been arrested. But what, aren't they, are they, his intellectual brain? From there Adel said that if he thought, there could be new evidence that would lead to others again. and the police will say that they were fooled by the fake evidence prepared by the original intellectual brain”
“Eh, yes. Bener too. From his football, he was a genius. It is not difficult to find all the evidence in a place without anyone realizing. What if it turns out Isma is actually also only used as a scapegoat? Just used as bait to blur his tracks?” ask Stevani.
“My job is to get Vani out of this place. The police thing wrongfully arrested, it is not our business” replied Hedra. Adel mangosteen understands.
“With the passivity of Adel in the trial later, this will relieve Vani. Until here it is clear, if Mbak Vani free from all charges”
“But if Isma is not his intellectual brain?” stevani asked in a soft voice. Hendra observed the surrounding situation.
“That will make it easier for us at the trial. Of course he doesn't understand anything. He would have simply rejected all the accusations, without knowing how to prove them. All the evidence has led to him. It was too difficult for him to convince judge”, Hendra replied in a soft voice.
“But that means the threat to me is still there, mas”
“Iya. Indeed” replied Hendra short. Stevani frowned, a sign of not understanding.
“If you see a trend from case to case, that person has a history with Budi. I don't know what and how. But clearly, if you want to be safe, do not approach Budi!” hentha explained.
“What?”
“Yes. As long as Vani is not sure who his intellectual brain is, never be near Budi! like the word accidentally met on the road, mending dodging! From wak”<TAG1>
“Huuuffftt”
Stevani breathed a heavy sigh. A sense of disappointment lingered in his heart. He had thought, after the case was over, and he was found not guilty, he could tell Budi directly that he had never done everything he was accused of. And in any case, in his heart he admitted that he still loved Budi. Wish I could get closer to him.
Amid the busyness of college, Adel remained eager to control the construction of his father's workshop. He established himself as a field supervisor. Become his father's representative in overseeing the course of development.
On the other hand, he began to reduce the number of jobs he received. To om Diki, he begged to be given more time, in order to help his father oversee the process of working furniture that was delegated to the vendor. Luckily, om Diki understands the condition experienced by Adel. He also allowed Adel to reduce the portion of the job he took.
The work of rebuilding the workshop of Mr. Fajar, you could say speeding. In just two days, the job was almost done. The still-sturdy concrete structure is a factor that accelerates that work.
The machines ordered have also started arriving. Without wasting time, while diving drink water. While completing some unfinished parts of the building, all the existing machines were put in and installed. So that, on the fourth day, the entire building and installation work of the machine has been completed completely.
Witnessed by Budi and his friends from a distance, Adel and his father inaugurated the start of production in the wooden workshop. There are no fancy celebrations. There was only tumpeng rice distributed to the artisans and also to some invited neighbors. With one main prayer, so that this wooden workshop can continue to stand and benefit the family and surrounding areas. Also protected from all dangers. All who are present and witness, assure the prayer.
That same day, Adel began to attract previously delegated work to vendors. With a new, more advanced engine, Adel believes it will be able to cut its production time. I give my full support to Adel. He continues to encourage and help provide creative ideas, to keep his investors happy at work.
Along with that, the police also like chasing targets. Over the next week, Adel several times called investigators to come provide information.
Investigators said the information was needed to finalize the files they were holding before it was declared P-21.
And it is true, the next day, coinciding with the delivery of the third kloter order, the police said Isma's case file was declared complete and ready to be submitted to the prosecutor's office.
Adel doesn't care here. Want Stevani to be free tonight, Adel has not put it in his heart. He prefers to focus on taking care of his father's lectures and workshops. His success solved so many problems, making his spirit more fiery.
“Abram is proud of tata” comments Budi when making a Video call with Adel.
“Tata is also proud of Abram. Tata is proud to have a great guy. Tata is proud to have a man who is always willing to sacrifice anything for Tata” Adel replied. Both of his eyes looked teary.
“Aalhamdulillah's. Gusti Alloh preferred Abram to do the task. Not that the” replied Budi.
“Hempf. Ha ha ha ha ha”
Again Adel laughed amusedly when his lover said a jealous sentence.
“Udah ah, don't take him! He was not angry anymore. Just think about it, how to pay the debt to dia” said Adel.
“Udah, just bismillah! The important thing is the effort, accompanied by prayer. The rest, just like Gusti Alloh! Our brains must be confused if we think about how to”saran Budi.
“Iya, Bram. Thank you, Abram always makes Tatahaya” said Adel with a smile.
“Heem. This smile that makes Abram want to cepet-cepet rumah” comments Budi. Adel play the mimic of his face, as if surprised.
“Wait forward ya! once Abram can go home, Abram will immediately apply for Tata” Budi continued.
“Iya. Tata also always awaits those moments, Bram”
