" As we explained earlier, your friends have committed fraud under the guise of future predictions".
" The ones who had reported them were not just one or two people, but a few dozen people, and when we asked for their identity cards, only one person had a resident identification card".
" We are therefore holding your friends in a holding cell for a while".
" Do you have a guardian who can guarantee your six friends?, I think your age is still very young, like the age of my new son High School".
The police sir's words are correct, Akio and Alma are still in High School, but they can't bring in a guardian to guarantee Steven and the others.
There is no way Alma told her mother that Akio's friend is being held for fraud. Akio also has no siblings other than listing Steven as his cousin.
" What can be represented by our family lawyer Mr police?", Akio asked to consider what steps he would take next.
" If there is of course it can. And because they commit fraud in groups, it may be a planned crime, and the sanctions can be quite heavy".
Akio nodded and understood with the police officer's explanation. How sorry he was to let Steven and his five friends roam free. And here's what he got, he had to go to the police station and take care of all of them.
" I'm going to get the family lawyer to come over here immediately".
Akio stood up and paid his way out to call his confidant.
" Come to the police station and sort out all the problems Steven and his friends have done".
Akio hung up the phone and saw Alma sitting in the long chair in front of the room where they were discussing with the police officer earlier.
Alma was seen yawning several times, maybe he was tired and sleepy because for quite a long time they discussed with officers from the police some time ago.
" Do you want to go home first?, I noticed you yawned a few times, it looks like you're very sleepy".
Akio sat down next to Alma while patting her shoulder which could be a place to lean on for Alma.
But Alma shook her head, "I'm actually hungry, I already ordered food at the salon, but not yet the food".
The two of them had indeed directly gone from the salon without filling their stomachs first, Akio just remembered that they had not had lunch. Today, the clock shows at 3pm.
It turned out that he had been discussing inside the police station for a long time. While the six friends, already put in a holding cell.
Akio invited Alma to lunch.
" Where do you want us to eat?".
Alma saw the roadside around the police station. Who knows if they found a food vendor. And his eyes sparkled when he saw a hodgepodge seller whose stall was not too far from the police station.
" How are we going to eat there?, I'm already very hungry, and I want to quickly eat" Alma pointed out the stall that was not far from where they were standing right now.
" All right, we'll go, I'll get the car first" Akio said, turning around to retrieve the car. Alma prevented it.
" No need to bring a car, it's really deck stall, walk, not up to 5 minutes has also arrived".
Alma pulled Akio's hand to follow him. And it's true that it's not until 5 minutes they both have reached the stall of hodgepodge sellers.
" Mom, two hodgepodge pesen, one pedes, one does not spit, drink two sweet iced teas".
Alma immediately ordered as they reached the kiosk.
It turns out that in the stall there are some policemen who also just had lunch like them, maybe the policemen just came home from outside duty, or just had time to eat.
" This drink used to be Mba, hodgepodge order soon new so". A young man of Alma's age serves sweet iced tea ordered by Alma and Akio.
" Aren't you guys from Pelita Jaya High School?, what are you doing to come to the police station?, I just saw you guys get out of there".
The young man turned out to know Alma and Akio, because it turns out he was one of the recipients of a poor family scholarship, which is free to go to school in Pelita Jaya like Alma.
And it turns out that the young man is Alma and Akio's upperclassman, now he's 12th grade, the son of a hodgepodge salesman who has aspirations of becoming a police officer. Because they often see how every day the police work to serve the country, of course, pay attention to the police from his mother's shop every day.
The mother of the gado-gado seller presents a hodgepodge of Alma orders.
" My son went to school in Pelita Jaya, already in 12th grade".
" But he does not mingle, just deserve mba and mas nya do not know. My son is a little quiet".
The young man shook his head quickly, "If mother had known, if the handsome young man before mother was more reserved compared to this mother's son".
" Although quiet, I still have friends despite only four children".
" As for Akio, he only has this beautiful girl friend Ma'am, they are both dating, and only Alma, Akio's only friend".
The mothers of the hodgepodge seller do not believe the words of his son, "The time of handsome and rich young people like this Mas has no friends. If my son deserves it, because he's from the family he's not, so nobody wants to be his friend".
" Mom, he's handsome, rich and very smart, he's an international Olympic gold medalist, they're both genius kids. That's why they don't need a lot of friends".
" Their lives will go on even if they are not friends".
Gado-gado seller's mother felt sad with her son's words just now.
" It's not so Mom, my boyfriend is just not good at socializing, it's not true if anyone says we don't need friends". Alma tried to defend Akio.
" There is no need to give an explanation to people we don't know. I've finished eating it, fortunately the hodgepodge is delicious, otherwise I wouldn't have been here long".
Akio stood up from his seat and walked out of the stall by putting down a piece of money hundreds of thousands.
Alma, who had not finished eating, was forced to drink sweet iced tea to the toilet.
" Thank you Mom, when the hodgepodge is really nice, sometime stop by Mom, sorry for my boyfriend's attitude, he is so irritable, so have no friends", alma said very softly, afraid that Akio would hear.
The mothers of the gado-gado seller actually apologized because they felt his speech had offended the handsome young man named Akio.
Alma immediately ran out chasing Akio who was far enough to walk back to the police station .
" The return is still a lot of this Mba!", shouted the mothers of the hodgepodge sellers.
" Mom alone!", cried Alma as she turned around and went back after Akio.
Alma could see the mothers of the hodgepodge seller scolding his son, because he was not kind to the customer.
" Wait dong dear.., my stomach is cramping here, eating out immediately run-away". Alma asks Akio to slow down.
Akio stopped right at the entrance of the police station. Coinciding with the car his lawyer's man entered the entrance of the police station. Akio walked right up to them.
" Good afternoon Sir", greet the confidant Akio while bowing his body.
" Day, maybe we should just go inside" Akio told his confidant.
" Good sir", the three of them entered the police station, and Alma followed them from behind.
But when everything came in, Alma chose to sit in the long chair in front of the room where Akio and his lawyer entered.
Not following them inside.

" I'm sorry, sir, even though you have given a security deposit, but the deception that your friends have done is enough to take a lot of casualties. We therefore have to keep them in compliance with the laws and regulations".
Akio has tried his best to free Steven and the others, but whatever the power, money is not everything, already hundreds of millions that Akio spent as security money, he said, but he also can not ignore if this country is a country based on the law that regulates the actions of its citizens, fraud crimes committed by friends must indeed get sanctions.
