“Good morning!” greet one of the uniform firmly.
“Morning,” shimmy Zalfa like a whisper. He was so scared to see the uniform. Suddenly the uniform was like a firearm pointed at his head, terrifying. Yes, Zalfa was afraid that they would find Arkhan and her husband because Arkhan was now a suspect. Could it? “What's up, Sir?” Zalfa asked with a paled face, cold palms and a trembling voice.
“Is this really Brother Yoseph's home?”
Zalfa was stifled to hear the man mention Arkhan's real name. Unknowingly his head nodded despite looking hesitant.
Then the police mentioned the intention of his arrival which was none other than to ask for information. And when Zalfa asked what information was asked, they did not explain clearly.
Zalfa was so scared that Arkhan was really caught by the police. She did not know whether her crime was wrong or not, but she just wanted to protect her husband, and hoped that he would become a better human being without having to feel the cold of the freezing cell. That'sthat's all. Zalfa remembers, Reza once said that his dark deed had been smelled by the police. I hope Arkhan is okay.
The police asked when Arkhan was usually at home and Zalfa could not give the exact time, because he did not know when Arkhan would come home and stay at home. The man was used to going home and going as he pleased.
After hearing Zalfa's explanation, the two policemen claimed to be back in a while.
When the two policemen turned back and walked down the terrace, they passed Arkhan's car which had just entered the courtyard of the house. The car door opened and Arkhan poked out.
Oh..
Lord, may Arkhan not be dragged. Zalfa deg-degan's heart and body suddenly hot cold. Even though Arkhan is facing problems, Zalfa feels like a fever due to anxiety. But he believes, God will certainly give the best in his life. Although bitter while living it.
Arkhan very calmly walked over and faced the policeman. He did not even seem a little anxious. He had a serious conversation with the policeman and then Arkhan invited the two policemen into the house and the two policemen agreed, they followed Arkhan up the porch.
Arkhan briefly stopped when he met Zalfa who was still standing at the door. He looked at the woman then said, “Please tell Mbak Yen, have her make drinking water for guests.”
Zalfa's anxious eyes did not change despite Arkhan's calm demeanor.
“Let me make it,” replied Zalfa then turned back and went into another room. He did not head to the kitchen, but leaned back behind the wall and listened to the conversation between Arkhan and the two policemen.
The police introduced themselves, then mentioned the intention of his arrival who wanted to ask for information about Reza, a young man who according to cctv footage was seen once with Arkhan while at the hotel. Arkhan calmly answered all the police questions. He said that he did know Reza as a good young man. Arkhan also said that if he was not so close to Reza, they knew him only as friends because they had helped each other. That'sthat's all.
Zalfa hurried to the kitchen and made three glasses of water. Then put it on a tray and bring it to the main room.
Zalfa throws a friendly smile at the police and puts a drink on the table.
A glance was fixed on Zalfa's face.
Zalfa's feelings until now are still anxious until his hands tremble when putting a glass to the table. Until finally the trembling hand movement ended badly because the last glass missed from his hand to tilt and the contents of the glass was spilled onto the table.
“Ups, sorry!” Zalfa panicked himself.
Arkhan held his sitting position. His hands quickly picked up a tissue to hold the coffee water on the surface of the table so that it would not melt on the floor. The other hand, which was also holding a tissue, grabbed Zalfa's hand and wiped the woman's fingers splashed with hot coffee. Slowly his body stood up and continued its activities wiping Zalfa's fingers.
“Sorry, the water spilled!” arkhan said to his guest.
“It's okay, not a problem,” replied the policeman.
“This is my wife. Zalfa.” Arkhan's sturdy arm touched Zalfa's waist and pulled him up to Zalfa's body sitting on the sofa.
The two policemen nodded their heads at Zalfa.
“We will return when need more details, and please cooperate when you are asked to the office for the same,” said the police then sipped a coffee.
Arkhan nodded.
Soon the two policemen said goodbye and left.
