The Untouched Heart

Chapter 243 - Shakedown

The first thing I did was try not to panic. Second, I thought about what Hendra would do under these circumstances. Ah, yes. I took my phone out of my pocket and picked out Zach's number. He must know what to do.

“What? The police came to conduct a search? Whose opponent is this?” zach said with annoyance. “Try checking the mail they brought, whether .. ah, no need. I'll be there soon. Brother don't let them in.”

“Don't let them in? But they are police, how can I refuse the authorities to do their duty?” manya panic.

“The house is Brother's house, not theirs. If they force it, then something is wrong. I hung up. I have to get ready to go.” Zach ended our phone call, I exchanged glances with Abdi.

“How, Mistress?” tanyanya's confused. I'm even more confused.

Since I am the temporary head of the family in this house, then I cannot depend on anyone. I have to do everything myself. Alright. Blocking unknown people into my house is easy. Yes, ‘kan?

There were two police cars in front of the house and two officers standing at the door. They look at me with respect. I smiled at them as sweetly as possible with my head not stopping to think about what I should do to hold them back until my sister got here.

“Goodnight, Sir,” my handkerchief. Their height was not as high as my husband's, so I didn't feel too intimidated. “There can I help?”

“We got a report of possession of a prohibited object in this house, so we brought a warrant to conduct a search,” one of the officers said as he pointed to a letter to me.

“Good. Sir ...” I read the name on his right chest, “Fajar. I read the letter for a moment.” I received the letter. Okay. I could use quite a lot of time to read this letter carefully. Come quickly, Zach.

I understand Indonesian, but when I read the warrant, I feel like I'm reading a foreign language. There are so many terms that I vaguely understand. They must be right. This is Mahendra S's house. Mighty, the address is correct, as well as other personal identities.

But I don't understand for what reason they ransacked our house. I did not accept the reasons stated on the warrant. What violent criminal acts? My husband was in an accident, why was he even accused of violence?

“What Father did not wrong with carrying a warrant?” I asked so found a way to hold them longer outside the house. “My husband just had an accident and suffered from amnesia. Police are investigating the accident, so why are there allegations of violence? Who did my husband hurt?”

“Mom can ask that to my boss. Me and my two colleagues were only given orders to conduct a search. Our name is listed on the warrant.”

“Mana can be so. It's good to play commands, and then not be able to explain why. What violence has my husband committed? So what do you want to search? What tools are used to hurt the victim? Isn't that at the scene?

“The reason should be specific, sir. I don't want my house to fall apart because you don't know what to look for, then the Fathers don't want to help to get all the stuff back in place later.” I looked at them seriously.

“Where is the person? Who claims to have experienced violence? My husband has no criminal record, for what suddenly someone reports violence to search everything. Who is it?” my challenge. They exchanged looks.

“You know what the consequences are when you block an officer from conducting an investigation, right? What we're about to do is part of an investigation into a crime. If Mom keeps getting in the way of our work, that means there's something I'm hiding in this house. And Mother we can arrest also if involved in this crime,” said the officer began to be impatient.

My heart is beating fast. Something's wrong, I know it. But I don't know how to find this gap from their arrival. I also don't control the contents in the warrant. What should I suspect about this letter?

I heard a growl from behind me. I didn't need to turn around to know that Ara managed to get out of the living room by her own efforts, and stood behind me. He must have felt I was scared, then came out to protect me.

Zach, why are you taking so long? What if I get them arrested for trying to block the officer who brought the official letter?

“It's better Mom gives us a way. Mother has no reason to hinder us from serving,” the man said firmly. Ara barking. “Please placate your dog or forced us to do it.” Their actions are really suspicious.

“Wait. I have the right to know that this letter is genuine. Please, connect me with your boss,” I said without moving a bit from the front.

They exchanged looks. Then there was the sound of the gate opening followed by the subtle roar of a motorcycle entering the yard of the house. Thank goodness! Zach has arrived. He stopped right in front of the porch, then turned off the engine. He rushes off his helmet and approaches me.

“Goodnight, Gentlemen,” greet Zach in a friendly tone. “Ah, Dawn. What are you doing at my sister's house?”

“I'm on duty, so talk to formal, Zach.” The originally fierce-looking man turned soft. “Although she is your sister, I cannot ignore the task.”

“Of course you can't. I will not make you and your colleagues violate the orders of superiors.” Zach took the letter from my hand, then started reading it quickly. “What are these items? Who reported having experienced violence from my sister-in-law? Didn't you guys work together to investigate the accident she just had?

“And this again, why was his search license issued by the Chairman of the District Court who was not from the domicile of this address? This house is in the domicile of the South Jakarta District Court, while the one who issued the license is the Chairman of the Central Jakarta District Court. What is this simple thing you still do not understand, Dawn?” zach said half mockingly.

“What do you mean?” The man named Dawn took the letter from his hand. He and the fellow next to him read the letter together. “Yes, you are right. Did our boss not carefully look at it before giving the order?”

“You better talk about this with your boss, then come back after carrying the right letter. If anyone scolds you, you can say Mr. Oscar's name. He will be happy to help you get justice, so your boss will not be able to mess around.” Zach pats Dawn on the shoulder.

“Good. We apologize for the commotion we caused, Mahendra. Forgive our mistakes too. Good night,” said the man with an unpleasant face. I smile.

“It's okay, Mr. Dawn. Good night,” reply. They left peacefully, then I let out a sigh of relief. Just barely.

“Central Jakarta District Court. I suspect this has something to do with the mayor. He definitely could not bribe the people of this domicile so the license was instead issued by the chairman of the state court of the next city.” Zach shook his head.

“What does the mayor intend to confiscate all the evidence of corruption he did?” askaku. Zach nodded. “What should I do if they come again and bring the correct mail?” I'm back to worrying.

“Call me, let me handle it. It's been. Sister sleep. There's nothing to worry about. Mr. Oscar and I have sent all the evidence we have regarding the mayor's crimes. We will wait for the results of their investigation. We can still run everything according to plan.” Zach's wearing his helmet back.

“Be careful,” I said as I approached the motor. “Salamku to Official.”

Even though last night's troubles were over, I was still worried that the police would come again to search the house. I woke up late in the morning after a night of trying to sleep. I helped the kids shower and get dressed, and then we went downstairs to have breakfast.

The sound of a car entering the yard. My heart is beating faster. Did the police come back? Abdi walked from behind to the front door. I sent the kids to the dining room first.

As soon as the door opened, I never expected that he would come to visit. Abdi looked at me while holding the door. Why did Mom come so early to our house?
