YOU AND ME

Saksi

Irene berada di dalam ruangan yang cukup luas. Ketegangan meluap di setiap aliran darahnya. Saat ini, dia disuruh datang ke kantor polisi untuk diminta keterangan sebagai saksi dalam kasus kematian Peter dan Jessica.

Dihadapannya ada seorang polisi yang mempunyai paras wajah orang keturunan Timur Tengah. Irene menatap polisi itu dengan tatapan yang penuh keyakinan bahwa dia akan menjelaskan semuanya walaupun dia diselimuti ketegangan yang luar biasa. Irene menarik nafas dalam - dalam, lalu menghembuskan secara perlahan untuk merilekskan dirinya.

"Assalamu'alaikum," salam orang itu ramah.

"Wa'alaikumsalam," balas Irene yang sedikit tegang

"My name is Amir Khan. I am a member of the team investigating the death and murder of Peter and Jessica. I beg for your cooperation and please answer honestly," ujar Amir sambil menatap tajam ke Irene, dan Irene menganggukkan kepalanya sebagai persetujuannya. Where did you meet Peter for the first time?" tanya pak polisi itu.

"At Soekarno Hatta airport," jawab Irene.

"After that, what is your relationship with Peter?"

"We were close friends, he approached me until we got along and continued our relationship to marriage," jawab Irene.

"Where did you live at that time?"

"In Jakarta, Indonesia."

"Are you married to Peter in Jakarta and in London?

"Yes, we were married twice, in Jakarta and in London.

"Are you still an Indonesian citizen?"

"No, I am a British citizen."

"Do you know Peter's former lovers?"

"Yes. Do you know what relationship between Peter and Jessica was like after you moved to this country?"

"Yes, they have a business cooperation relationship and are limited to friends. In your opinion, is it true that they had an affair after you guys got married?"

"That's not true, Jessica, who always approaches and hopes to get back with my husband, even though she has confirmed to Jessica that their relationship is limited to business partners and friends."

"Did Peter tell you that night that he was going to meet Jessica at the hotel?"

"Yes, he told me."

"Do you know why Peter met Jessica that night?"

"I know, Peter came there to meet Jessica because he wanted to ask Jessica for an explanation about the photos of the two of them holding hands at the club and when they were about to enter a hotel room and asked Jessica to explain it all to me."

"Why did Mister Peter ask Jessica for an explanation?" tanya polisi itu lagi sambil menatap tajam ke Irene untuk mencari sesuatu kebenaran.

"Because the photos caused me to be jealous and my late husband made it clear that he and Jessica would not have a special relationship anymore. He only loves me forever. He would also prove that by asking Jessica to explain everything to me. My late husband asked Jessica to explain what happened at that time because she was drunk at that time, so she didn't realize what had happened at that time."

"Do you know why Peter was drunk and met Jessica?"

"Yes, I know. He was drunk worrying about me."

"Why is he worried about you, are you two different houses?

"Not."

"So what?"

" At that time I was kidnapped by Julius and held hostage in his house in Liverpool, so he was worried about me, he met Jessica because Jessica wanted to help my late husband to take me away from there.

"Is Julius still her husband Jessica. Yes. What did Julius kidnap you for?"

"To ask my husband for money. Do you know how many there are? Yes, I know, he's asking for two hundred million euros."

"Why wasn't the case reported to the police?"

"Because my late husband was threatened by Julius if this case was reported to the police and my life and my child were threatened."

"Did you manage to be taken away by people sent by your late husband or you can get out of Julius hostage because you have been ransomed?"

"I ran away from Julius's house.

"Why did you get out of Julius's house?"

"At that time I asked permission to pray at dawn at the Ar Rahma mosque in Liverpool, after praying I ran away and I was helped when I fled."

"Who are you helped by?"

"Same with Izzatunissa Assegaf and Ahmad Assegaf."

"Who do you know the name of the kidnapper?"

"Was Julius the mastermind behind your kidnapping?"

"Not him, but Roberto Perez. How do you know that?"

"From Julius."

"What did Mr. Julius talk about to you when you were being held hostage besides that?"

"He said if I ran away from his house or was taken away by anyone, he would not make my life happy and he said the police wouldn't be able to arrest him."

"Who is Roberto Perez?"

"He's my late husband's cousin."

"Where is he now?"

"He is now in Paris."

"Why did he mastermind your kidnapping?"

"I do not know."

"Why is he living in Paris now?"

"Because he was kicked out of the family tree."

"Why is his clan different from your late husband's clan?"

"Because his father Roberto is surnamed Perez, while his mother is surnamed Pattinson."

"How is your relationship with your late husband lately?"

"It's fine, even if something hurts, we face it together."

"Do you believe in the speculation of the provisional investigation?"

"I do not believe."

"Why do not you believe?"

"Because I believed in my late husband that he would never do such a humiliating thing and I am sure and believe my late husband was framed."

"Why do you talk like that?

"Because my husband loves me so much, and we open up to each other, I've heard that Jessica wanted to take my late husband away from me in various ways."

"Who do you know that from?"

"From my late husband and from Andre."

"Why is your husband still in a relationship as a business partner and friend with Jessica?"

"She didn't want to break up with friends and before we moved to England, Jessica had already signed contracts with various subsidiaries of my late husband."

"Have you ever met in person or talked to Jessica?"

"Only two times have we met and spoken."

"What is your attitude when meeting and talking?"

"He saw and talked to me cynically and just plainly."

"Do you know how much Jessica approached your late husband?"

"Without shame, she dared to take my late husband's hand and seduce my late husband in public during a press conference for the launching of a film produced by my husband's prodak house and starring Jessica. And he dared to ride and dared to seduce my late husband in my husband's car when his car broke down in the middle of the road."

"Do you know why Jessica helped your late husband to take you away from Julius's house?"

"Yes, because she wanted to draw sympathy from Peter and to take advantage of the situation."

"All right, that's it, you are providing information as an additional witness. Thank you for your cooperation."

"You're welcome. Kind policeman, I sincerely beg that this case be resolved properly and I firmly believe that my late husband has been framed in this case."

"After I analyzed it, Mrs. Irene said the truth," ucap Pak Amir dalam hati. InsyaAllah, this case will be over soon."

"Thank you for your trust to me."
