The Widow's Choice

Strong Evidence

"Al, isn't it baby yet? I've been waiting for Daddy dear," call Nurul right in front of Al's room.

"Yes Mother!" sahut Al from the room.

Soon the door to Al's room was open. Al was ready to wear his school shirt. With the bag he was carrying on his back.

"Al goes first Mother!" pamit Al while shaking Nurul's hand.

"Look, baby" Nurul peaked Al's head. Al ran out to go to school.

Nurul's little family has returned to activities like before. Nurul and Rahman had returned one week ago, exactly one day after the seven-day anniversary of Bu Lastri's death. Rahman started going to the office.

While at Dinda's house, Dinda is ready to leave for Jakarta to undergo surgery. Two police cars stopped in front of his house. Several police officers descended and walked towards Dinda's house. One of the officers knocked on his door. Dinda opened the door.

"With Dinda Larasati's mother?" ask one of the police women.

"Yes, I'm alone." Dinda began to be confused.

"Let's come with us to the office! You we hold on to charges of fraud and defamation."

"I'm innocent Ma'am," Shall Dinda.

"You can explain in the office!"

"But I have to go to Jakarta to have surgery,"

"Let's come with us to the office first!" The policewoman then forcibly pulled Dinda's hand and put the handcuffs on her hands.

"Research the house, gather all the evidence!" Another police order.

"I didn't do it! Please let me go!" Dinda tried to rebel.

"Please cooperate with her, Miss Dinda!" Ask the policewoman.

Dinda was taken into a car and taken to a police station. Yes, Rahman has reported Dinda as a suspected case of photos and videos dragging her. Rahman has handed everything over to the authorities.

In the afternoon, Burhan goes to the police station representing Rahman to fulfill a call from the police. He also brought some evidence that was still left in Rahman's office.

Burhan met with Jefry and talked for a long time. Until the night they were finished. Jefry left because there was something else to be done. When Burhan was about to leave the police station, he heard Dinda's voice talking to a man. And that voice was familiar to Burhan. He also abandoned his intention to leave the police station and eavesdrop on their conversation for a moment.

"Help me out of here! We're working together on this plan." Said Dinda to her interlocutor.

"You are stupid! Didn't say everything from the beginning" said the man.

"We're partners!"

"We're just partners in bed." The man is easy. Burhan immediately covered his mouth in surprise.

"Damn you Akbar Mahendra! You said you'd help me if anything happened."

"It happened because of you. Your stupidity!"

"OK, okay! My fault! And now please help me get out of here! Or will I say your name clearly to the police?" Threaten Dinda.

"OKAY. I'll help you! But don't say my name at all!"

"of course! Just so you help me get out of here!"

"All right! I'll talk to my personal assistant first, you wait here a while!"

Akbar immediately moved from his chair. And a man who was none other than his personal assistant followed him behind. Three steps later he stopped, right in front of the open door of the room where Burhan was hiding.

"Kill him! And eliminate all evidence that concerns me!" akbar said to his assistant in a pretty soft voice.

"Well Sir!" answer the assistant. They stepped out of the police station again.

Burhan heard clearly their last words, for he was right behind the wall beside the door.

"Is he serious about what he says?" burhan murmured and left the police station.

...****************...

One day later, Burhan gets word that Dinda must be rushed to the hospital and is in critical condition. Dinda reportedly got into a fight with other inmates and got into a fight. Unfortunately, he lost so much that his head was smashed against the wall by his opponent.

And by nightfall, he was reported to have died from a severe bleeding condition on his head. Burhan and Shodiq were shocked to hear the news. Rahman, who had come home early, had not heard the news. Eventually, Burhan and Shodiq decided to visit Rahman at his home to inform him of the news and discuss.

"We'll just talk on the balcony!" Take Rahman to his two best friends when they get to his house. The three of them then went up to the second floor of Rahman's house and had passed through Rahman's room.

Nurul, who was reading the Qur'an in his room after praying Isya, was curious about the guests who came. He finished reading his Qur'an and intended to see who came. He left the room without wearing his footwear. When he opened the door, it coincided with Mbok Tum who had just arrived in front of his room who wanted to bring drinks and snacks for guests.

"Mbok Tum!" Mom's voice echoed up to the second floor.

"Mbok, let Nurul take it! You want a guest, right?" tawar Nuruls.

"Let's just Mommy!" Reject Mbok Tum.

"Who's the camera is Mbok?"

"Mas Burhan and Mas Shodiq."

"No papa here Mbok! Mbok Tum just go down! It's called mother!" Nurul immediately grabbed the tray from Mbok Tum's hand.

"But Ma'am, Mbak Nurul just got pregnant, his stomach is big."

"No papa Mbok, just up the balcony right? Poor mom Mbok."

Finally Mbok Tum relented and handed the tray to Nurul. He then went back down and approached Bu Dira. While Nurul, immediately brought the tray to the balcony.

When he got to the door, he heard the conversation of three friends. He stopped there in surprise. And no one noticed Nurul's presence there.

"So I was told by Mr. Jefry, Dinda died in the hospital" Burhan said

"Why?" ask Rahman.

"His head was bleeding quite badly, he couldn't hold on. And one more thing, I forgot to tell you guys yet."

"Pity Dinda!" Shodiq.

"What else is it?" ask Rahman.

"Accad?" rahman was shocked.

"Yes. Akbar Mahendra's. Dinda clearly mentioned her name! So it seems our suspicions have been right all along. Akbar is the mastermind of this matter."

"Try the Han story!" Shodiq Pinta.

Burhan then recounted the incident yesterday afternoon when he was at the police station eavesdropping on Dinda and Akbar talks. Even about Akbar's orders to his assistant to kill Dinda.

Ting, bruk. The three men turned to the source of the voice. Nurul's body slightly scratched and hit the door. Make glass and glass jars in the tray that he carries touch each other.

The three men immediately approached Nurul. Rahman immediately took the tray from Nurul's hand and handed it to Shodiq.

"Why are you Dek?" Rahman held Nurul's arm strong.

"Mak Dinda and Mas Akbar,,??" Nurul could not continue his sentence because he was very surprised to hear the chatter of three friends.

"We'll talk in the room!" bring Rahman.

"You don't have to think of Rul's macems, pity your baby!" sahut Burhan's.

Rahman immediately rubbed Nurul's body back into the room. He sat Nurul in his bed. Rahman knelt before Nurul and held tightly to his hand.

"Mr Dinda?" nurul's eyes began to glaze over.

"There wasn't this afternoon." Answer Rahman.

Tears of Nurul began to flow. "And Mas Akbar?"

"Accubesan,,"

"Was he really the one who framed you back then?"

"That's just our estimate, dear. Let the police investigate."

"This all means my fault?"

"Why your fault? You didn't even do anything. Is there something you're hiding from me?"

Nurul shook his head. "Want to?"

Nurul silently did not answer. Her tears are still flowing. He blamed himself, because he thought, Akbar holds a grudge against him for rejecting it at that time. And Akbar uses Dinda to avenge Nurul through Rahman.

"I'm sorry!" Nurul lirih said while bowing his face.

"You're not wrong, baby. Are you sorry you married me?" Nurul looked directly at Rahman's face.

"I never regretted choosing you. You are the best husband and father to me and our children. It's just, like,,"

"What only?"

"It looks like Mas Akbar took revenge on me, and he wants to get his revenge through you. You're getting in trouble because of me."

"We don't know who helped Dinda yet, so don't be so bad to think."

"But, Mas Burhan said,,"

"Honey already! That's just our estimate, there's no hard evidence for that yet."

"But Mas,,"

"My dear! Don't think too far. I don't want your condition to worsen anymore!"

"Eeuummhh," Nurul slightly grimaced with the pain.

"Why baby? Your head hurts?" Nurul nodded slowly as his hands squeezed his clothes.

"See, I'll get you your medicine!" Rahman immediately stood up and took Nurul's medicine stored in the nightstand drawer.

He immediately handed the medicine to Nurul and gave her water. Nurul immediately took the medicine.

"Rest!" pinta Rahman's.

Nurul nodded slowly and laid his body on the bed. "Should I go with you?" tawar Rahman's.

"But Rahman has a guest, right?"

"Burhan and Shodiq. They can wait a minute." Rahman then lay down his body right next to Nurul

Rahman hugged him tightly. Due to the influence of drugs, Nurul immediately fell asleep. Rahman wakes up and covers Nurul's body. He went out to his two best friends.

"How's nurul?" burhan asked as Rahman arrived at the balcony.

"Udah is sleeping."

"So fast?"

"Impact of the drug."

"What medicine? She sick?" ask Shodiq.

"Doctor's diagnosis, his head suffered a traumatic injury in an accident a few years ago."

"Great?"

"No. Just more headaches."

"Alhamdulillah."

"Then what's Dinda's problem?" ask Rahman.

"We're handing over to the authorities. Let them investigate." Answer Shodiq.

"You have to keep Nurul tighter Man! I'm afraid I'll be reckless." Sahut Burhan's.

"It's Burhan Man." Shodiq.

Rahman just nodded his head. He wanted to deny their thoughts, but the evidence was too strong. Rahman was afraid that, if it were true, it would affect his family relationship and Akbar's family. Moreover, it will affect the condition of Nurul who is pregnant. He could only hope, everything was done well. Without revenge and hurting anyone.
