The Winter Promise
Chapter 115: Many Questions Asked.



The next day, I along with Riki went to Maul's house to tell her what happened yesterday. I don't know what his father Maul would ask me. But at least I just need to go to Maul's house, there's no need to go to the police station to give her report.


When we got there, we were waiting for Maul's father in the living room. I could already see him sitting there enjoying the cup of coffee in front of him.


“You two have arrived? please sit down first.”


His father Maul welcomed us kindly.


“Om not working today?”


Riki and I were sitting right in front of him.


“I will go to the office after chatting with the two of you, right I promised yesterday.”


“Why don't we do this at the Om police station?”


Ask Riki to his father Maul.


“The two of you must have known about the internal problems that occurred in the police about this case. That's why I had to manipulate the data about yesterday's case and also ask you guys at home to find out the real information. Because only in this house alone we can exchange information safely.”


“Did you say everything to his father?”


I asked Maul who was sitting next to her father.


“I told all your guesses at that time to my father and he was surprised by your guesses.”


“When I heard that from Maulana, I just laughed because all your guesses were almost the same as what happened on the field.”


Do I have to be proud of myself for this? It seems unnecessary, pride in myself is not my habit.


“So Om want to ask from where?”


“Are you two ready to tell me everything that happened yesterday?”


His father Maul began to prepare a paper and pen in front of him.


“Ready!”


I answered and Riki in a compact manner.


“Firstly where did you two know that there was a kidnapping?”


“I was called by Akbar if his sister disappeared and has not come home from where he teaches when his friends have gone home all.”


“What does this have to do with Akbar Mar?”


“We're classmates.”


His father Maul always wrote whatever I said at this time. But he didn't write it all down just his key points.


“What did you do after hearing that his sister Akbar was kidnapped?”


“I directly contacted Maul and Riki to help me because they both can help me at such a time.”


“Riki?”


His father Maul began to ask Riki


Finally my session is finished too.


“Iya Om.”


“Why do you want to help Amar in doing this?”


“Of course I will help Amar Om, especially I know that Amar wants to do something interesting.”


Riki answered honestly with nothing covered up.


“Why didn't you tell Akbar to report this to the Mar police?”


I was asked again.


“I didn't tell him because I knew that his uncle and aunt had done that, so why should I tell him again.”


“Where did you find out the location of Akbar's father's house and where they were converted?”


“I asked Maul to do just that, because only she could do it.”


That's why I asked for help from Maul, without help from her I couldn't possibly move that fast.


“I should have known that.”


His father Maul sipped his coffee.


“Then what do you do when you arrive at the house of his father Akbar?”


“We eat meatballs first there while watching over his father's house Akbar.”


“Do you need to tell me about us eating Rik meatballs?”


“Hahaha... That's no problem.”


His father Maul and Maul laughed when they heard that.


“With what do you go to the place of the transaction?”


“We use bajai to go there.”


“Tumbel once you want to spend money on it.”


Maul said to me.


“At first I wanted to use an ojek, but it will take quite a long time and the price may be more expensive because I have to pay two motors.”


I was grateful because I had enough money in my wallet back then, so I didn't have to bother going to the ATM to pick up any more money.


“Then how did you two get inside that warehouse? Because when I came with another, the gate was locked and around the wall there was a shard of shard on it.”


Wait for... Locked down? I guess when I got there the gate was unlocked, I could open it easily but because it would make a striking sound I had to turn around so as not to get caught.


“Indeed the gate is locked? The time I came with Riki the gate was not locked at all and we were able to open it.”


“Keep you guys in through that gate?”


Ask his father Maul to us.


“No, we twist and look for walls that have no shard to climb. Because if we enter through the gate, maybe the person inside can find out if we went in there because of the sound caused by the gate.”


“You climbed that high wall, how do you?”


His father Maul was a little surprised when he heard that.


“I jumped by using Amar as a pedestal to jump in order to reach above its wall and I used my buckle to help Amar climb.”


Riki told that to his father Maul.


“Do you two often do things like this?”


His father Maul was surprised by the teamwork between me and Riki.


“If it is about climbing, we often do it when we are small while chasing kites Om!”


“I don't think he's talking about this Rik.”


I said to Riki.


“Is that true?”


This child could have answered something like that while talking about something important.


“For sure why Om asked like that?”


“I'm so embarrassed to say like that.”


Riki became Maul and her shyness was very annoying.


“Then what do you do when you get there?”


“We sneak into there and hide in one of the unused containers again.”


“Why can you not be caught? Not that the warehouse only has one entrance and if there is someone entering the warehouse it will be very clear once.”


“At that time his father Akbar was focusing on calling someone, so we can get in there easily without being caught.”


If he wasn't on the phone, maybe I'd think of another way to get into that barn.


“How was Akbar's sister then?”


“She was already unconscious because the sleeping pills given to her were possible, but before that the Princess was still unconscious.”


“When exactly is this Princess still conscious?”


“We saw him while watching over his father Akbar's house in Ampera.”


His father Maul wrote a lot of things in his chest, even I have seen him three times take blank paper to use to write answers from me.


“I've got a report from the section that investigated the bottle that Maul found yesterday and it turns out it was indeed a sleeping pill. But the sleeping pills are not found in Indonesia and seem to be smuggled in from abroad. The content contained in the drug is also very dangerous if consumed in excess, because it has a high dose.”


“What sleeping pills are included in illegal drugs?”


“I do not know it further because the drug is still being researched again its contents.”


“How is Princess doing now?”


Riki asked his father Maul.


“She came home yesterday, the effect of the medicine has disappeared in the afternoon.”


“Alhamdulillah then.”


Riki looks relieved after hearing the news from the Princess who is fine.


“Then what do you do when you are near his father Akbar? Because when I came, I saw Amra who was holding someone and Riki who was silent because of something.”


“That time actually I deliberately waited for the person who wanted to buy his sister Akbar by holding her there until the police came, but because Riki acted alone so I had to act too.”


Especially after finding out that the person was carrying a gun, I definitely had to act, there was no way I could just look at it.


“When did you have that knife you held Mar?”


“The knife actually belonged to his father Akbar.”


“Then why the knife could be in your hand?”


“The knife bounced from him near me when his father Akbar was fighting with Riki.”


Hearing that made Maul surprised as well as laugh.


“So Riki fights with his father Akbar?”


“That's.”


Said Riki while rubbing his head.


“Then what did you do after getting the knife?”


“After getting the knife, I saw that the buyer had a gun behind his jacket. Because I know that the gun will be used to hold Riki who was bending his father Akbar at that time, so I went around them quietly while hiding behind the container that was there to ambush the buyer from behind.”


At that time I was also helped by the warehouse they used had a lot of unused containers scattered throughout the warehouse. I could easily hide there.


“Great once you can do that undetected.”


His father Maul salutes me.


“Even my existence was low from the start, that's why I was able to do it so easily.”


It used to be when my school was once ignored by picket teachers when I used incomplete attributes. Though my friends who used incomplete attributes were punished all, but only I was able to pass through it because he was unaware that I was passing in front of him.


“Today I saw there was an incision in the buyer's neck but not too deep. Is that what you did too?”


“Iya, that I did so that the buyer wanted to say everything I wanted to know.”


Looks like I'll be scolded by Maul's father.


“What you've done is too reckless Mar! You shouldn't have done that.”


I just said and it happened.


“I can't deny it.”


“And this is my last question..”.


Eventually this long question and answer session will end as well.


“Why can you keep a stone in your jacket pocket to throw at his father Akbar? Did you think that would happen before?”


“Actually I prepared the stone to be thrown at the buyer if I didn't have time to stop him from pulling the trigger. But it wasn't necessary so I put the stone in my jacket pocket. And next Om may know what happens in the future.”


“The three of you are indeed a very terrible couple if you work together. Cases like this alone are like games for them.”


His father Maul took care of the papers and kept them in a drawer nearby.


A game? It's too complicated and dangerous to call it a game, at least our lives are at stake here.


“What Om know other info from the buyer?”


I asked him, because I was still curious about the information that the seller would provide.


“When I did the interrogation to the perpetrator, he just said that he was a courier and he was told by someone. When we asked him who he was telling him to be, he said that he had not met at all, the name he used was also a pseudonym. But we are investigating who that person is.”


“He also said that to me.”


“But at least we've got a little information to solve this kidnapping case. Just a little more until we can clean it from this Indonesian earth.”


His father Maul looks very hopeful with that information.


“I will help you as much as I can, if there is any other info I get related to the kidnapping problem, I will definitely tell Om.”


“I thank you for helping me, but you never do anything like that again. Let the police do it.”


His father Maul advised us.


Even though he didn't say that, I didn't want to do it anymore either because I thought it was very troublesome.


Yesterday I felt that one day was really long, when I got home, my body became all limp and my legs felt pain because of the time it had to jump from a wall high enough. Finally I had to postpone my work from the office and finish it in the morning. Fortunately, Mr. Hari was in no hurry to ask for his report.


“Then what are the internal problems that occur in the police? Can it be easily solved?”


“You take it easy for that, I already have reliable men to do special investigations like this.”


“Good then.”


Hopefully what his father Maul said is right.


Besides, I also do not want to get involved too far with the problems possessed by the apparatus. I feel that if I get too involved in it, my life will become unsettled again. It's more annoying than taking care of Takeshi's problems.


That day the investigation was completed, his father Maul immediately went to his office after talking with us for a while. I also went straight home because I wanted to enjoy my vacation which is staying soon.
