The Thing About Violet's

Truth Finally Revealed

Mada woke up in the morning with a dazed face and a crumpled body. He reached into his pants pocket to look for his phone while trying to stand up, panicking as his hand did not touch the phone in his pants pocket. Then he held his head while turning his body slowly to look for the whereabouts of his phone and he immediately regretted his stupidity as both his eyeballs caught his phone already smashed to pieces on the floor.

Mada then took the memory card in his phone, he saved the memory card and he put it in his wallet. Then he tidied up the pieces of his cell phone along with the three cans of beer he drank last night.

After her room was clean again, she immediately took a shower then. Just as he changed his clothes and began to hang onto his backpack, the door of his room was knocked on by someone. Mada walked to the door and opened it, "You haven't left for Elruno's company?"

Ratna smiled, "We're in the same direction, I think we just went there and invited Brother for breakfast for a while"

Mada smiled as she closed the door of her room she nodded then followed Ratna's steps towards the Food & Beverage room on the right side of the hotel lobby. They had breakfast because they were chased by time and immediately rushed into a taxi, heading to his company Elruno.

A few hours later, they arrived at his company Elruno, a fairly large eight-story building that stood firmly towering in front of them. Then they come in. Ratna was immediately led by the receptionist to the interview room for the new employees and Mada was led by her personal secretary Chery Elruno to her private room Chery Elruno.

Mada went into a very spacious, luxurious, and comfortable room. Mada was welcome to sit down and not so long ago, Chery Elruno stepped gracefully towards Mada. Mada stood up and as a normal man, instinctively natural, he admired her beauty and elegance Chery Elruno.

Chery and Mada stood facing each other and Chery stretched out her hand, "Welcome, your name is Mada Goh, is that right?"

Mada greeted the gesture politely and said, "True Bu, I am Mada Goh, son of ........."

"Diana Prastowo" Sahut Chery while taking off Mada's hand.

"really. You turned out to really know my Mama" Mada was stunned.

"Sit down!" Chery sat down gracefully in front of Mada.

Mada sat down and looked at Chery.

"Don't look at my wife! take care of your eyes!" a man steps in, sits next to Chery and kisses Chery on the forehead.

"ah! this is my husband. King's name" said Chery.

"Ah yes, good morning Mr. King" Mada got up, bowed to the King and sat back down.

"What do you need to do to find my wife?" The king immediately hugged Chery's waist.

"I just want to find out the truth related to the murder of my Mama twenty years ago" said Mada. "Some said to me that Chery Elruno's mother knew my mother so I came here to see Chery's mother and.........."

"I don't just know Diana. Diana and I were like brothers. We are very good friends. Even when you were born, I came and I carried you. Your name, I'm the one who loved her because, Diana was confused at that time, she gave birth without a husband, and was left gone by your Grandma, she was panicked, confused and did not prepare a name for you" cherry Sahut.

"I still have a picture of you when I was holding you and Diana was next to me" Chery handed me her phone.

Mada stared at the photo togetherness Chery and Mama and himself when he was a baby with a gamang. Then he returned the phone to Chery.

Mada was increasingly confused because, the story told by Chery, was far different from the story told by his father.

"You still don't believe it? let's wait a minute, my secretary is getting Diana's files. Diana used to be my secretary so this company has Diana's files" Chery Elruno said.

"It's not that I don't trust you but, Papa I told me, that you and my Mama are sworn enemies and........"

"Did your Papa tell you a story by including evidence?"

Mada shook her head.

"You'll know the truth in a minute. I have all the evidence of my closeness to your Mama and all the evidence of your Papa's decay" Chery said.

"Originally you know, your Papa forced your Mama to serve him at that time with threats until finally your Mama was pregnant. My wife helped your mother back then. Your papa is a jerk, selfish, cowardly, and irresponsible man" the King said furiously.

Chery immediately stroked the King's thighs and said while looking at the King, "Pa, do not be emotional in the morning, it will be cute ilang, hehehehe"

The king smiled at Chery then kissed Chery on the cheek, "Yes, sorry"

"Yes, baby, you're right. Forgive me" The king smiled at Chery lovingly.

Mada was determined to hear Chery's remark that she was the victim of a lie from her own father. When the file and all the evidence Chery said was finally in front of her, Mada grabbed and opened the file with trembling hands as she found the myriad of threatening letters her mother had received. Mada shed tears as she read the letter her mother wrote to Chery Elruno, in the letter, her mother Mada left Mada to Chery Elruno if anything bad happened to her.

"And it's the video player that contains the footage of your Papa when your Papa forced your Mama to serve him" Chery Elruno said.

Mada grabbed the video player and saw the footage when her mother came to serve her Papa. Mada gripped tightly onto the video player. At once, he hated his father, hated his father

Mada then put all the evidence back on the table and looked at Chery, "So it wasn't Moses Elruno and Maha Adijaya who killed my Mama?"

"Did Papa you also strangle you with that story? whoop! basic Ivan Goh is shameless, it is true that he lied to his own son with such a false story. Listen Mada, Papaku and Om Maha were in China, now you think, at eleven o'clock in the night, Mama you were stabbed by someone, is it possible that Papaku and Om Maha did it? even though at the same time, Papaku and Om Maha were busy chatting in China. There's all the evidence" Chery said.

"Yes I have seen all the evidence" Mada said softly. "Who killed my mother? Who has sent so many threatening letters to my mother?"

"Try to remember, where were you?"

"Sa. Every time I tried to remember it, my head felt a throbbing pain and if that was the case, Papa came and relieved my headache by saying, punish Moses Elruno and Mada Adijaya for killing your mother" Mada began pressing her temple with her palm.

"Try to remember it again! for your Mama's sake. You already know that your Papa has been lying to you all this time so, try to remember it again!" said Chery

Mada hissed to endure the pain in her head and she began to open her voice stammering, "I, ssshhhhh, hiding in the closet" Mada started grimacing in pain as she continued to hold her head with both hands and lowered her head

"Then? what else do you catch in your memory? whatever that sound is, or the scent of perfume, the scent of cigarettes or whatever. Try to keep that in mind, for Diana's sake, your Mama!" cherry Sahut.

"I heard faintly the sounds of high heels, tuk, tuk, tuk, and! uh! shhhhhh! the voice of the woman was talking to my mother then......... My mother screamed in pain and by the time I got out of the closet and ran to Mama, she had already fallen to the floor covered in blood" Mada continued to hold her head with both hands and she started sobbing in tears.

Chery is about to rise to appease Mada but is held back by the King, "He's a boy"

"But he's like my own baby. I'm just going to pat her on the back, I can't bear her being in such pain" Chery turned her head sharply to the King.

"He's boys. He can definitely endure the pain" said the King.

Chery let out a long sigh and then she looked at Mada, "You okay, son? I'm sorry for forcing you to remember everything but it's all for the truth. We need to catch Diana's killer because, all this time, the killer hasn't been caught because, there's no evidence at the scene and no CCTV cameras"

Mada wiped her tears and nodded slowly, "I thank you. Thanks to Mother's coercion, I can clearly remember that my mother's killer was a woman" Sahut Mada.

"I'm sorry that I arrived late and arrived at the scene, Mama's body was taken by the police and you weren't there either. I just found a letter from Diana and that makes me even more sorry, Diana left you to me but, I lost you" Chery said.

"I don't want to go back to Indonesia for a while. I don't want to take care of all my Papa's bars anymore, but I'm working right now. Can I ask for a job here? Whatever it is, so OB or coffee maker is not a problem as long as it can make money and find a rental house here" said Mada later.

Chery turned to the King and the King nodded his head in agreement.

"You went to law school and stopped halfway because, Papa, you don't like it, do you? just continue your lecture, I will charge everything until you finish college and also for your life here, you do not have to worry, you do not worry, my husband and I will endure it all as long as you live here"

"I'm sorry, not that I reject the kindness of both of you but, I'm not used to living a hitchhiking without doing anything. Let me work here and I will continue my studies with my own sweat money. From the salary that you love to me, whatever it is, I will manage well for my college and my daily living expenses" said Mada.

"All right! you from now on I will become my personal secretary, stay in the official house provided by our company and you will get a pretty big salary" said the King.

Mada smiled sumringah, "On salary, I will not count. Getting a job and a home for a place to stay, I was already very grateful. Thank you very much Mr. King and Mr. Chery Elruno" Mada got up and bowed his body.

"But you have to promise to continue your studies until you finish because education is important" Chery said.

"Baik Bu" said Mada, still bowing his body.

Such was Mada's new life, he worked as his personal assistant to the King and continued his studies in law. A month without feeling passed quickly and like being struck by lightning in broad daylight, Mada was pushed against the wall by herself in the King's study because of shock when the King said, "Well! Elmo congratulations yes, finally your daughter will get married too. Me, your brother, and all your nephews will fly right now to get there. Wait for our arrival"

Violet eventually married Gasa. Should I be happy or sad? muttered Mada while continuing to stick his back on the wall to withstand the strength of his body that seemed almost collapsed because, news of Violet's marriage.
