Uncovering the Mystery 7

Rifki approached the little boy and hugged him to calm him down, Rifki patted him on the shoulder slowly until the boy slowly calmed down.

"So calm yeah, here no one will harm you, if there is then we are alone who will hit him first, you trust with Brother, calm down yes". Rifki said slowly and was answered with a nod of the head by the boy.

After the boy calmed down, Rifki slowly let go of his embrace, Rifki looked at the boy fixedly, as if there would be a deep trauma experienced by the boy.

"Sir Ahel where is Brother? I want to meet Ahel Hiks.. hiks... hiks.. please take me to my Brother, where Ahel sister hiks... hiks... hiks.. help me Brother, please take me to Ahel". The boy wept looking at Rifki expectantly for Rifki to drive him to Rahel.

"Adek calm yes, Ahel's sister will come, now she's working on money for Adek, so that Adek can go to school again, there is Rifki's sister here, Adek do not be afraid ya". Rifki is unable to explain what really happened to Rachel to the little boy.

Rifki tries to calm the child as much as possible, the deep trauma the child is experiencing makes the child so depressed and difficult to control his fears.

"Let's... Please don't hit me". Shouted The boy.

"Adek, no one will hit Adek here, do not be afraid, there is also a brother".

The child continued to shout while pointing towards Nita, The child was hysterical when he accidentally saw the figure of Nita who was not far from him, that led Rifki to order one of his men to take the boy to his parking lot.

"So this boy is good, and have Bi Lina cook for him, bring him the circus and feed him until he's full, let him rest there don't make him depressed". Rifki's Order.

"Good Young Master". The man looked down at Rifki.

"Let's go with Dek Brother, we'll eat, will you? Later Brother bought a lot of food for Adek, Adek do not be afraid yes". Take Rifki's men to the boy.

The boy looked so frightened, he held Rifki's clothes tightly as if he would not want to leave the place, he wanted to stay with Rifki even without a word that could come out of his mouth.

"Sir, this brother is not evil, do not be afraid". Persuak Rifki's.

"Don't be afraid, believe me the same Brother, if this evil brother will tell us, we will beat both of us". Nadhira persuaded him.

"Yes Dek, this brother is not evil, really sure later if Adek want, this brother will invite Adek way to the mini market to buy a lot of snacks for Adek, would you? Buy ice cream too, or candy, or toys, would you like to?". Rifki added to be able to persuade the child.

"Big brother?". Ask the boy with a little fear.

"Truly, if until this Brother dares to be like Adek, Brother will beat him until he is kapok".

"Well, don't you lie, right?".

"Yes, I promise you Adek, if this Brother dares to hit Adek, Brother will beat him". Rifki tries to convince her that the person who will take the child away is not a bad person.

With all the persuasion and seduction done by Rifki's men finally, the little boy accepted his invitation even though he was so heavy-hearted to leave the place.

The person commanded by Rifki immediately moved away from the place, Rifki tells him to leave because he does not want the child to return traumatized when he sees what happened there and what Nita has done to the child.

Nadhira saw the boy's departure in silence, he continued to look at where the boy was walking, until finally his shadow was swallowed by the lush trees in that place.

"Did Auntie not feel ashamed? The mentality of an innocent little child has been at stake in this, what if it happens to the Auntie's own family". Nadhira asked Nita.

"I don't care! You frame me?? Sir you're in on this too!!". Nita is very distrustful of what is happening in front of her at this time, she is surrounded by police and also the men of Rifki.

"Forgive us ma'am, we have no choice but to pity the boy, but he also deserves freedom".

"What's wrong with Ael to Mom? Why would you do that".

"Let go of me!! I am innocent!! He's the one who's guilty, he killed himself I didn't kill him!!". Nita stood by herself, and it was not she who killed Rachel.

It is true that Rachel died because she committed suicide, because she wanted to protect her chastity from a man who did not know himself wanted to take her crown by force.

"Aunty better give up and admit it all now, how could Rachel's father have died then?". Said Bayu who stood among the policemen.

"What are you saying!!". Hakam yells at Bayu because of the question posed by Bayu.

Hakam looked at Bayu as if he would not believe the question posed by Bayu to his mother, but Bayu answered with a nod of his head as if the question was true and Bayu gave an opportunity to Nita explain everything about the incident that night.

****Flash back on****

That night after the adhan magrib Nita went with his friends to repeat the time when they were still in school, Nita drove her car alone without her husband's company because her husband was busy at work.

In front of the cafe where they agreed to the reunion, Nita came by using her car that had just been bought by her husband.

"Cool Nit, new car huh?". Ask one of her friends who is dressed in a slightly feminine red with a beautiful head makeup.

"Yes dong, this is the latest production, my husband bought it for me, it's not on the market yet". Nita answered arrogantly.

"Your son so you, can buy a car like this, so lucky you get a husband like that".

All her friends praised Nita and her husband Samsul, many of whom were jealous of the life Nita and her husband lived, because they felt less fortunate than Nita.

When her watch had shown at 10, Nita immediately said goodbye to go home because her husband must have been waiting for her at home.

On the one hand the figure of a man in his 40s is running around by pushing his wagon that he uses to sell because after getting the news that his wife will soon be the baby in the midwife.

After scratching his wagon in the usual place the man ran back to the place where his wife was the lahiran, when he wanted to cross he saw a vehicle that was still far from his place so he decided to keep crossing.

Without him realizing that the car drove so fast that it made the figure of the man just hit and made the man bounce away from the scene, the person driving the car immediately came out to check on him.

When the owner of the car out of his car can be seen the figure of a woman, it turns out that the car was driven by a woman, the person was none other than Nita who came home from the reunion.

He was so shocked when the man was unconscious that he left the scene as soon as possible because at that time the street seemed so quiet that no one knew.

After Nita's departure from the car, without realizing that the man was moving his hand for help, the man was still conscious but his blood continued to seep out of his body.

"To... Longs". Speak it softly.

The man who was hit by Nita was none other than the father of Rachel, at that time Rachel was accompanying her mother in the hospital who was going to give birth to Rachel's sister, Rachel continued to wait for the arrival of her father at the maternity home.

Until the birth process is complete, his father has not shown his nose in that place, his mother gave birth to him when the time showed at 4 am and Rachel did not sleep overnight because she waited for her brother to come to the world and wait for the presence of his father.

When it arrived the neighbors came to the maternity place and told him that his father had an accident and died on the spot, Rachel who heard the news arrived shed tears.

"Dad.....". Shouted Rachel who did not believe what her neighbor had told her.

Between the birth and the death he felt today, when his mother heard that, her mother was immediately unconscious in that place, whether at that time Rachel should be happy or sad, happy because his mother was born safely, or sad because of the departure of his father.

Nita came home with a heart that continues to beat fast because he had hit someone, before he entered his house he splashed water on his car so that there was no traces of blood in his car.

"What's wrong, ma'am?". Samsul asked when he saw his wife as if she was going to be scared.

"No matter what sir, there was someone chasing Mom outside, it looks like it's bad sir". Nita gave an excuse to her husband, she did not want her husband to know about what he had done.

"Yes, if you're okay, that's fine".

"Yes Sir".

****Flash back off****

Bayu also explained how the incident that night made Nita feel so anxious because she had run into someone when on the way home.

"Tante already knew, that Rachel was the son of the person who Aunt hit at that time, Aunty just did not want Rachel to know and will avenge Aunt and Auntie family, right?". Ask Bayu who's to the point to Nita.

"What other empty bullshit is this? Hit people, when? Whereabouts? I've never hit anyone, let alone died like that". Nita said nervously.

"Tante if I don't guess wrong, maybe Auntie did deliberately want to destroy the girl's life to separate Aunt's son with Rachel, and make Rachel helpless so that Rachel can't avenge him, isn't that Auntie?". Bayu asked with a look that intimidated someone.

Bayu easily deduced that, how could someone have done such a thing to a girl he had not known at all, just because he was an orphan and did not have more wealth so Nita was disrespectful to him.

It was impossible, but after Bayu learned of such an incident, he dared to conclude that Nita was distancing Rachel from Hakam because of this problem, Nita does not want Rachel to know that Nita killed her father so that Rachel takes revenge on him and his family.

"What did you say? You could also want to frame me, you all deliberately want to direct everything to me".

"Aunty the truth is in sight? How can Aunt still dodge it?".

"What!! So you're trying to keep me away from Rachel so that Mom's secret isn't exposed? And I already knew that Rachel was the son of someone you hit and ran". Hakam really does not believe what he hears.

When Hakam introduced Rachel to his mother, her mother did not suspect that a woman Hakam had brought to her was the son of someone she had bumped into at the time.

When Nita finds out, she soon finds a way to separate the relationship between her son and also the child from the person she hit, Rachel was the child of the poor so the reason was strong enough for Nita to succeed in separating the two.

"The truth is that only Auntie knows it, the more Aunt refuses to tell the truth, I can tell just by looking at the gestures that Auntie shows". Bayu said aloud in front of everyone, let everyone hear what he was saying.

"No!! What are you saying, it's all not true, you're lying! You set me up!". Nita refused to admit it.

"Then what is the reason that can make Aunt so ambitious to separate the two? And why did Auntie have to ruin Rachel's life, did Aunt forget about someone at the time of the incident?".

"What are you saying! Rachel dying was of her own accord, not because of me I never told her to kill herself".

"Yes... Indeed Rachel has committed suicide, as Aunty knows, if Auntie did not tell them to harass Rachel, Rachel would never do that!".

"How did you know Bay? Show me proof of your words". Ask Rifki in a serious tone to Bayu.

Bayu took out an object like an identification from behind his pocket, and handed it to Rifki, Rifki immediately received the object and read it carefully.

"When some years ago someone discovered this at the scene, the man gave it to Rachel's mother, but her mother was unable to report it to the authorities, and her mother still keeps it until now, so why is the identification at Rachel's house? if it wasn't Auntie who did it, why would it be there?". Ask Bayu again.

"That's not mine, you must have faked it too!!". Nita said with her emotions.

"But this is not enough evidence to prove that Aunt Nita did it, the family could have accidentally found it and had not had time to return it". Said Rifki who seemed to defend Nita, but behind the question there was another purpose.

"Bring that guy here!". Bayu's orders to Rifki's men who went with him.

Bayu who understood the direction of Rifki's conversation immediately told someone to bring the person he meant to the place, so that everyone would know what evidence he had obtained during his search.

Before long came a man who walked with his feet approaching the place, behind him followed by 5 people Rifki, and the man was so well known by Nita.

"Include yourself!". Bayu's orders after the man stood beside him.

"My name is Ahmad, the only eyewitness at the time of the events of those years, I was a cousin of Nita".

Ahmad recounted the exact same incident told by Bayu before, hearing the story made the turmoil in Samsul's heart grow bigger.

The story is not a mere essay, but it is a true story hidden by Ahmad so far at the request of Nita, because Ahmad is the only eyewitness behind the incident that night, he was also the one who delivered the body of Rachel's father to his house.
