‘The number you are heading to is out of reach try a few more moments!’
It was always out of reach. Bima, where are you? What the hell happened to you?
Maybe I should just check into the hostel where he lives. Yeah, I guess that's how it should be.
Putting the jacket on the door of the room. Then go to Bima's residence.
Empty, Bima is not there. Trying to ask his neighbor, but according to the words of the hostess next to Bima lived.
Bima's been gone since yesterday afternoon.
So where did it go?
How'this? While today I should have accompanied Bima to the green table to see Satria's side appeal.
The phone kept ringing from before from Satria's lawyer. After I picked up apparently they asked that I immediately come to court to discuss important matters.
Important thing about what?
My focus is torn between thinking about how Bima's fate is, and how is Riani in hiding? Still safe from the reach of Satria or maybe Riani's existence there has been sniffed by the psychopathic man.
Also think about what steps I will take next without Bima.
How'this? Against Satria without the assistance of a lawyer it seems nil can win.
If I have to find another lawyer, I can't afford to pay.
Argha!
According to the forehead, the head feels like it is about to break.

Arriving at the court, Satria and some of her lawyers were on standby in the lobby.
Seeing me coming alone, Satria laughed disdainfully.
“Where is your protector? Have the guts also you come alone here,” said Satria accompanied by the oddity of some lawyers who accompanied him.
“Then, just give up! Free, you won't be able to fight me, Juna!” Satria and everyone on her side laughed disdainfully.
I dizzy looking for Bima's whereabouts, hoping full she's already here.
“Who are you looking for?” Satria held this shoulder. Kutepis. It felt like he was touched by his dirty hands.
“Your lawyer?” Again, Satria chuckled while playing the car keys in her hand.
“Herever she won't be able to come!” he continued, looking at me intensely. I flinch trying to digest Satria's words.
“What do you mean?” my question, full of emphasis.
However, Satria just smiled cunningly. Then go away leaving me who is still silently pecking at the place before. On his face is clearly implied belief that it is as if he will win the case.

Inside the courtroom, I was confused not knowing what to do? Usually Bima who sniff all. Now I'm alone here without a companion.
If I don't get justice in this country. I just believe that God will surely step in to give me justice.
That's all I can do right now.
I'm asking the judge to postpone today's hearing. The judge granted my request. While Satria's side, they laughed triumphantly.

“Arjuna, wait!”
I heard someone calling me from behind. Then turn to the source of the sound, urung up into the angkot.
Satria, what else does he want?
“How about Man, so don't ride his angkot?” peekik the driver.
“Ma’af Bang, it seems not so,” reply me while cupping hands. The angkot driver snorted in annoyance, then went forward his angkot.
“What did you call me?”
Satria again he chuckled in disdain.
“Already, Jun, you give up. Give Riani back to me, and I'll let you live free.”
“You will never win against me, Jun!” he added full of affirmation, while putting both hands into the pocket of his pants. He was so sure he would win the case.
His face was so haughty, as if he was completely immune to everything on this earth. He might be immune and could escape the snare of the law in this land. But I'm sure one day he won't be able to escape God's justice.
Even so, my belief in God's justice is great. But it is undeniable that my voice is shrinking at this time. I'm sure Satria will justify any means to win. If I continue to fight without the assistance of someone who understands the law, I can be sure I will lose. He has very strong legal support.
I'm like rempeyek's crumbs now. It means nothing in his eyes.
It's even more likely that Satria will finish me off. As Riani told me at the time. Yes, Riani had witnessed firsthand Satria killing someone. I don't know what the problem is? When reporting to the authorities, he was threatened. And all evidence of his criminal conduct has been removed.
So it makes it difficult for our side to uncover this case. Riani had complained to the police about what she saw, but without evidence, the police could not follow up on Riani's report.
“Restore Riani to me! Because it's free, you won't win!” threaten her. Then leave me who was still flinching in the place before.
I remembered about Bima who until now had no news. Before leaving here earlier, I had been looking for Bima everywhere including where she lived. But, nil.
Does the disappearance of Bima have anything to do with Satria?
***
From yesterday since the last Bima told that he had received accurate evidence that would most likely incriminate Satria, until now there has been no news.
Ck, where are you, Bim?
Trying to call all his relatives and family in the village. Just like me, they also lost contact with Bima since yesterday.
Now where else do I have to find you, Bim?
Boring TV shows from earlier almost all channels broadcast news about the discovery of corpses without identity. In very difficult conditions to recognize.
There-just, why now humans turned into bringas? What a cruel thing the killer did.
Screaming, kneeling, staring back at the screen. Hoping there was news from Bima, but HP had been quiet. There is no notification.
Focus on the television screen. For a moment, it was the pants and clothes that the corpse wore in the news, just like Bima's.
Ah, no .. There's no way it's Bima. I'm sure Bima is still alive. It just happens to be the same clothes. After all, kayak clothes are much the same in the market.
It shook off my prejudices. Trying to think positively about the state of Bima out there. But, somehow my feelings suddenly agitated and worried.
Clung ....
Finally there is an incoming message notification as well. Hopefully this is a message from Bima. Soon I reached for the phone that was lying on my front desk sitting down. Then open the password pattern. And open whatsapp app.
