The Story of an Early Marriage

The Bongkahan Tanah

By late afternoon the search was complete in each room of the housekeepers by Mr. Trisno and Mr. Aji under my father's supervision. As a result, all the rooms were not found diamond rings that my father said were stolen by one of the domestic workers. My father, who was growing increasingly angry, immediately went to the basement where the domestic workers were locked up. My father posed an even more terrifying threat. This time my father will call the police to the house to investigate the case further.

"Have there not been one among the aunts who would not confess either" said my father. "If you confess at this time. I will release the perpetrator from the criminal matter. But if the police arrive, then the culprit will not be forgiven again. The legal procedure will go ahead and the culprit will go to jail."

No matter how my father's threats still come to fruition, the aunts speak only a thousand languages.

"Thank you that if any of the aunts had taken Feby and Handsome engagement rings, I would be willing to give a gift if I dared to confess, my mother persuaded me earnestly.

"I promise each of you twenty-five million rupiahs if the culprit confesses right now" added my father.

There was no reaction from the aunts. Everyone kept their heads down and kept silent like a statue.

"Maybe they weren't the culprits, ' said my mother.

"Shut up!" snapped my father at my mother.

Suddenly Bi Rukmi raised her head. The woman who had just worked in this house for about three months was like saying something. "Why should we be accused, why not ask Non Feby directly. Maybe he threw the ring away because he hated Handsome."

My father's eyes grew with Bi Rukmi's words. She is the youngest domestic worker among the others. He who had been unconscious now dared to accuse me who was not.

I didn't respond to that statement. I just quietly calmed down without any resentment and anger. I even praised that courage, only he was able to say that.

"Bi Rukmi don't turn the conversation to the impossible" said my mother.

I do hate the engagement but to throw away those dozens of billion worth of rings I might want to do it.

My father looked at me, I knew it wasn't the eye that claimed for an act I did but rather to see the hue and change of my face after being charged with such an accusation.

"Why are you quiet, Feby? Why don't you dispute Bi Rukmi's statement!, huh!" snapped my dad.

Silence does not mean wrong. Bi Rukmi did tell me about my dislike of Handsome Charming. Whether he was just prejudging what I was doing or he was deliberately slandering me for doing all that, or maybe he was the culprit and trying to eliminate the trail. His attitude was the strangest since the examination by my father this afternoon. Until he fainted, even though his endurance was strongest among the other aunts.

"Why Feby," urged my mother as well.

"Let time find the culprit, ma'am. If aunts no one will admit it first. It was all because I was careless, wasting the engagement ring," I replied softly.

"So you shut up just to calm down the culprit, he can be big-headed if you act like this" my father said rudely. "Now it's time to call the police!" After saying the word my father immediately came out of the basement. My mother and I soon followed my father's steps and left the aunts who were all overpowered by uncertain feelings of anxiety.

By the time Isha the police came to my house. There are about six people. My father had made a complaint about the seventeen billion diamond ring theft until the police immediately launched an investigation. Unmitigated, a sniffer dog broke into my room to sniff out the culprit. The sniffer dog started sniffing and tracing something that was considered suspicious. Three policemen were on duty with a sniffer dog while three other policemen were making inquiries with the rest of the house including six aunts, one of whom my father suspected was the culprit. Surprisingly, when the police questioned Bi Rukmi, the woman collapsed again so that the police did not get any information from her.

The police on duty with the sniffer dogs have not completed their duties. Understandably many akamr sniffed by the sniffer dog. Starting from my own room to the room of the domestic workers and then continued by all the rooms in this house did not escape the end of the sniffer dog.

Not satisfied sniffing and checking the room part of this house, the whole room is also checked, the results are still nil.

Now the dog sniffed to the outside of the house, next to the house there is a land that is used to grow various kinds of flowers and vegetables. That's where the sniffer dog's end leads.

In a chunk of former earth dug up, the sniffer dog kept sniffing. The police eventually dug up the piece of land.

Not long after digging the ground, the police found a plastic package. Inside the cop finds a Cicn fiancee giving a Charming Handsome. The police kept the evidence as evidence. My father applauded the find.

Now the sniffer dog is back to his job. Sniffer dogs sniff the trail of the perpetrator. The sniffer dog leads into the house. That means the culprit is one of the people inside this house. The sniffer dog leads to Bi Rukmi's room. I can already conclude that the culprit is Bi Rukmi. The sniffer dog then bit one of Bi Rukmi's clothes. It is likely that the clothes that Bi Rukmi wears when carrying out his theft.

"So the culprit was the owner of the shirt, Mr Police?" ask dad.

"Rubber, Sir!" replied Mr. Police.

Then the sniffer dog with the shirt still in his bite directed his steps at Bi Rukmi who was still unconscious in the living room. The dog meggogong hard on Bi Rukmi. Oddly Bi Rukmi immediately woke up.

All eyes looked at Bi Rukmi. I was already hinting that Bi Rukmi was the culprit, it was seen from the oddities that he continued to do. The fainting that came suddenly could it be that he was pretending.

"Mom went to the police station, underwent an examination with evidence that there led to you as the perpetrator" said Mr. Police.

"I'm not the culprit, sir!" said Bi Rukmi pleaded with the police.

"In the office you can explain everything!" said Mr. Police.

"Master. Please forgive me, I am sorry. But don't take me to the police station" he whined to my father.

"It's too late, Bi. If only Bibi would admit to all these actions as soon as the police acted," replied my father.

Now the rice has become porridge. Bi Rukmi was finally taken to the police station with barnag evidence that has been found by the police.
