The Terror of the Rapist

Toni's Testimony

Melani could not resist the turmoil of her feelings hearing Tuti's words. He immediately snatched away those words of his senior.

“I never hurt anyone else's heart, let alone be bad to people. I am also not as arrogant and arrogant as you accuse me. Is it because I reject Toni's love, and then I am considered arrogant? Is it because I am quiet and then considered arrogant? I also have the right to protect my privacy!” he said with a fiery tone. His face until it looked reddened and his body trembled violently restraining the anger in his chest. Diah immediately grabbed Melani by the shoulder, as if to calm down. Melani herself was powerless to resist the intense rumble that shook her chest. He then cried bitterly in Diah's chest.

“You are all outrageous! Is this how you treat your co-workers? Melani suffered a lot from her circumstances, but you added her with hurtful words. You should help solve the problem he is facing. Not railing and accusing him of being a no-no!” hiss Diah riled.

“Who scolded him? Is it not the other way around, he is the one who treats us like a patient? We are a horde of thugs who like to terrorize people!” tuti ketus.

“But mbak behavior is like a thug. I love to insult and insult people! I like to be envious and spiteful! It is not impossible that this has been terrorizing Melani!”

“Job! Do you seem to accuse me? Basic, fussy woman! Biang kerok!”

“Mbak the culprit! Old maid shameless!”

“Backed! Bitch girl! Iucekik you..!”.

“Try if you dare!”

Tuti attacked Diah. Both women got into a fight. They were pulling each other's hair. Some of the other employees tried to break up. The atmosphere became hot and tense. Melani suddenly screamed hysterically. “Shut! All of you diaaaammmm...!”

All who heard Melani's screams fell silent and turned their heads towards the woman. Mr. Tejo who was in the room also came out.

“What is this about in a storm? Who was screaming?” ask Mr. Tejo.

“Melani, Sir! Diah and Tuti fought. We're trying to get a break up!” said a karyawati.

“Why can fight?”

“They argue about the case that happened to Melani. Diah doesn't accept Melani being said to be Tuti!”

Mr. Tejo shook his head to hear the testimony of his men. He then looked at Diah and Tuti with great fury. “You guys are really outrageous. You guys are like little kids! You two face my room! And the others returned to their respective places!” his orders then with a firm tone.

All employees return to their desk. While Diah and Tuti step following Mr. Tejo to his room. Melani who was still overwhelmed with sadness sat on her desk. His face still looks like tears. Without him noticing from the end there Toni looked at him with eyes of pity. The man seemed to regret what he had done.

　

　

At lunch Toni approached Melani who was sitting with Diah. Seeing Toni's arrival, Diah's face immediately frowned.

“What are you doing here? Want to embarrass Melani again?” spray Diah.

Melani touches Diah's hand and hints not to talk. Toni herself was not offended by Diah's words. His face was bent inward.

“If it wasn't you who sent that terror SMS, then who else? Can you use a new number?!” diah's snort is still suspicious.

“Already, Di! Don't corner him!” tukas Melani brushed off Diah's words.

“But, Mel...?”

“Please, On. I beg. Toni used to send me an SMS, but I never responded. But I'm sure the terror SMS sent by the unknown number didn't come from Toni. Because, I memorized Toni's writing style.”.

“But he could have changed his writing style, because he wanted to look different. Which criminal would anyone want to confess?”

“Really, On! I'm not the terrorist! Swear to God!” toni's objections are firm.

“If not you, then who? Because in this office who likes to seduce and approach Melani is no more than you. Melani never got SMS pitched seduce and nggombal except from you. All this time you like chasing Melani. Even you are not ashamed to express your wish in front of the crowd!” cetus Diah with a sharp tone.

“I admit that I am a bit tacky, kampungan. I love Melani and everyone knows that. But I did all of that blatantly, not secretly. I also never convey my feelings with dirty words and harassing. Unlike the coward who likes to terrorize Melani through HP. I was angry and angry at the mysterious man. He seemed to want to drop my name, throw slander at me. He seemed to expect me to be the one being accused as the perpetrator. He wants to make me a scapegoat. Therefore I want to know from Melani's own mouth, what exactly the characteristics of the people who have terrorized her. Let me beat him myself up!” toni said with a furious tone.

But Toni's earnest speech did not necessarily convince Diah's heart. He still can't believe it.

“You said that so that you would gain sympathy from Melani and absolve yourself of the charges. I see, right?” grunts Diah.

“Trust, Di! I said honestly, from my deepest heart. There was never any intention in my heart to harm Melani. How could I hurt someone I love!” toni sounds sentimental.

Diah even grunted. Melani tries to calm her best friend.

“Already, Di. Don't keep pushing Toni. He has the right to defend himself,” said Melani kalem. Melani's words were quite a relief to Toni. The man became calmer.

“Actually I have a little suspicion on Ida and Rico, Mel!” cetus Toni suddenly expressed his opinion.

“Ida and Rico? Why do you suspect them?” ask Diah to know.

“Before Melani entered this office, Ida and I had a close relationship. But baby, I haven't felt right for her all this time. Ida is selfish, jealous, and likes to manage. That's why I cut ties with him. But Ida doesn't seem to accept it. He still chased me. When I openly expressed my love for Melani, the girl became jealous. He then tried to ruin my relationship with Melani. One of the ways he did it was by terrorizing Melani. He did that so that I was the one accused of the crime and Melani would lose her sympathy for me.” Toni said.

“Then, what does this have to do with Rico?” ask Melani curious.

“I once caught Ida alone with Rico in a cafe. But Ida denies that she is in a relationship with Rico. I can't believe it. So, one night I accidentally intercepted the two of them while coming home from the office. Ida couldn't dodge it anymore when I found her in Rico's car. At that time he promised not to interfere with my relationship with Melani. He also requested that his relationship with Rico not be blocked. And now I remember, that night was the night Melani claimed to be followed by someone. Is it impossible if that person is Rico who Ida deliberately told to terrorize Melani? Out of heartache and resentment, Ida is determined to do that!”

Melani is stunned to hear Toni's testimony. What Toni said made her heart flutter. As the police say that night Rico was the last person to come out of the office other than Melani. The time when Rico came home was the same as the time Melani finished her work. Well then, does this mean Rico did it? He raped me? Inner Melani.
