True Said Mamah

Chapter 60

The Septy residence.

Septy, who was thinking about the results of Anan's surgery, was unable to close his eyes. Although he had tried, but his mind seemed to continue to languish, far everywhere including the treatment of Arya and the kidnapping action orchestrated by Lexa, which seemed to undermine to always be remembered.

Septy got up from his bed and leaned his pillow against the head of the wooden bed. As soon as it felt that the location was appropriate, he then leaned his body onto the surface of the pillow earlier.

He then spread his gaze around every corner of his room. Until finally his eyes ended on the flat object of his on the nightstand that was right beside him.

Long he stared at the sophisticated technological object. Then let go of his gaze staring straight at the tv that aired a reality show from another hemisphere. Although the net is staring at the tv, but he is not really watching tv.

Not long ago, suddenly the thing that has the android title sounds a sign of a notification being received.

He turned back to where his phone was. With a sense of laziness he grabbed the gadget, and immediately opened the notification he received.

And how surprised he was, when he opened the notification on the phone he was holding and played the voice recording of two women who could be justified that one of the speakers in the recording was himself.

In a hurry, Septy typed something on his mobile phone after the duration of the recording ran out. But he had not been able to send a chat message intended, he again received a notification on his phone.

[You just follow the path I made. For if you don't, you will rot in prison!]

At once Septy's heart was pounding incoherently. Suddenly anxiety and fear enveloped him. He who does not sleep all night feels dizzy in his head. Plus there's a threat from Lexa, making her head seem like it's going to explode. He finally stopped sending a chat message that he was about to serve Lexa earlier.

Although dominated by worry, but Septy did not want to be fooled this time. Although he is not smart, but he knows, even if he obeys Lexa's words, he will still be blamed for what happened to Anan. Because Lexa couldn't possibly drown herself.

As the proverb 'Bagakan eat fruit Simalakama'. That's what's gonna happen to him. Forward hit, backward hit. Everything went wrong.

He thought for a moment too. He does not want to be wrong in stepping which results in loss of himself. One name crossed his mind. And steadily he immediately dialed the number he had asked for before leaving the man's car.

Septy's first call got no answer. But Septy was undaunted. He called a number that didn't give him a statement just now. As a result, on the first ring, his call was answered.

"Yes, hello," replied the person across the street in a distinctive sound of waking up.

"Hello, Abhi. It's me, Septy." Abhizar half-consciously kept his phone away from his ear, then stared at the new number he was currently calling.

"Sorry, Bhi if I wake you up. But this is urgent. Lexa sent me a voice recording of my conversation with her."

"Hm... then?" Still sounds lazy sahutan ala sleepy people from Abhizar.

"At that time I had no intention of becoming friends with Anan. Envy and vengeance still hold me. Makes me want to kill Anan."

"WHAT?" Abhizar, who was half sleepy, now glared at Septy's intentions which could be said to be extreme. No more sleep in his eyes.

"Yes, Bhi. I used to have such intentions. But that was before. Before I get to know Anan more closely." Septy hastily refuted his own words.

"I didn't think Lexa came to the police station that day just to make me her dart. If he is detached from his bow, he can free himself. And I am the villain. And to make matters worse, what I said back then was secretly recorded by him. Now he's threatening me. If I don't follow his will, then the tape will be sent to Anan's family. And even to the police. Then what should I do, Bhi?"

"You calm down first. We think together about the solution. And whatever Lexa asks, don't want you to do" Abhizar said.

"All right, I get it." Septy cut off their phone calls.

Septy threw his body weight on the bed. His memory wandered far back. He thought of what loopholes he could use to counterattack Lexa.

***

Thanks to hard work and professionalism, aided by modern technology, the police managed to subdue a herd of suspects kidnapping and hit-and-run Anan. The police immediately contacted Adji's number to inform him of their teaching.

Adji also conveyed what he heard from the police to Zidan and Idham. They are currently in the hospital canteen for breakfast.

"But... ." Adji hung up his sentence.

"But what else?" asked Zidan, squinting his eyes.

"They confessed, the one who ordered them was... Septy."

Brakk!!!

"I've guessed that woman wasn't really nice to Anan. He was just pretending so he could launch his plan. Damn you!"

Zidan's anger has reached the crown. He clenched both of his hands in light of Septy's treatment of Anan.

"Calm down, Dan. Lookie! Everyone's staring at us" Idham said.

"I can't calm down, Mom. This time, I'll pay it back."

"You can't be a vigilante. After all, the confessions those people mentioned were not necessarily true. What if Septy was just a scapegoat? That means we have wronged Septy. Of course you don't want innocent people to suffer the consequences, do you?" idham, wise.

Zidan seemed to think. His fist also stretched. But undeniably, Zidan remained in his belief that blamed Septy.

"What I said was true. We can't be rash. The allegations against Septy are baseless. The evidence is not strong enough to make Septy a suspect. We better let the authorities decide" Adji added.

Zidan did not make a sound. He has no interest in responding to Idham or Adji.

Zidan broke up from his seat, about to leave the two brothers. But the swing of his footsteps stopped because his shadow heard a sound that signaled a notification coming into Adji's phone.

Intrigued, he turned his back to face Adji and Idham.

"Is that still from the police station?" tanyanya, staring at the new Adji will unlock the lock code of her phone.

"Yes," Adji answered briefly.

"What's he saying?" ask Zidan, again.

"It's an audio recording." Zidan frowned and without permission he grabbed Adji's phone and pressed the play icon on his screen.

Instantly, the eyes of Zidan, Adji, and Idham glared once they knew the contents of the audio recording. They then looked at each other.

If Idham is older than Zidan and Adji can hold back. Another case with two young men who are almost that age.

Adji's jaw hardened as he clenched his teeth. While Zidan grasped Adji's phone firmly, so that it showed his bones are whitened. If only the phone he was holding was made of ordinary plastic, surely the phone would be crushed in Zidan's hands.

"Not wrong anymore. I really have to make a calculation with this one woman." Zidan puts down the rough Adji's phone then breezes leaving Adji and Idham without even glancing at the slightest of the two.

"What do you think?" ask Adji after Zidan, to Idham. Although he was also angry because of Septy's words on the tape, but he did not want emotions to control him.

"The tape was indeed Septy's voice. But...who recorded it? And according to Mas, this was taken secretly." Adji Manggut-mangut heard his brother's words.

"Would I go see Septy, Mas?" Idham glanced at his sister.

"I don't think that's a bad idea" Idham said, agreeing to her sister's proposal.

Idham sat alone in the canteen. He tapped his index finger onto the surface of the table. His mind was on Zidan.

Had Zidan's emotions not been explosive, he would have liked to discuss the audio recording he heard, together. Because he is sure, there are those who are utilizing the position of Septy.

He also breathed a rough breath. How else. Zidan's common sense isn't working well. Can't talk well, he thought.

***

Adji stopped his vehicle just across from Septy's house. But his narrowed eyes narrowed even more when he saw a sedan car with the image of 'police' parked in front of Septy's house.

He rushed out of his car. And with a little running he approached the tall, white fence.
