Pulchritude Case
Page 01's

The pile of paper filling the table was boring even to look at. So many and thick, I don't know how long it took to complete this week's list of case requests. Paper containing details of various cases. A prosecutor was stretching his body to relax tense muscles. This morning was full and busy, his work handling a case has not been resolved until now.

Prosecutor Dariel, a 32-year-old man with a warm and calm personality. He is currently being confronted with a case about a murder committed by a board member. Serious case and takes a long time to solve. Starting from the disappearance of a student while at a camp event organized by the school, then a few days later the student was found dead.

The victim's family requested the death of his daughter be brought to the legal domain because they felt something was wrong when they saw the body of his son. Police said the victim slipped while climbing to the camp. However, the fact is that when the family saw his body there were some intentional injuries and it felt awkward. How not? On his thighs were stab wounds and bruises. They asked to do a visa, and true allegations on the part of the girl's family. He was killed by someone before being pushed into the abyss.

After further investigation was found to be tucked away a conspiracy from the student's death case. Some suspects such as teachers, police and ended up on the board members of the leadership which surprised many parties. Dariel is currently seeking to end the trial by adding some hard evidence to establish the perpetrator as a prisoner.

"You know? I heard the Carrolyna case was secretly investigated by Prosecutor Val,"

"Seriously? Hey, you know where you're from?"

"It's a secret, I overheard his conversation with the Carrolyna family's side."

Dariel walked out of the room after he finished listening to the conversation. They gossiped about the surprising thing, before he was the one who handled the Carrolyna case. Why is the case reopened after two weeks? Especially Prosecutor Val will handle it. This sounded suspicious, Dariel felt he should know more about this rumor.

Meanwhile, Prosecutor Val is busy with his work. He was reading a paper about corruption. Val Destavin is known as a petty prosecutor. The man had always been arrogant and liked to demean someone especially Dariel. They are rivals since working under the same law firm. Rumors about the dispute were both hot topics to talk about. Actually they are both hard workers, but both have a sneaky nature when doing work. One of them is also predicted as a potential successor to the deputy chief prosecutor who will be held in a few months.

"Senior, the deputy chief prosecutor called you." A man conveyed a message to Dariel who was about to enter his study.

"I'll be there soon." He turned around and headed for the vice-leader's room.

On the sidelines of the busy and complicated employees at the Ethereal Law Firm, from across there we can see a sparkling building featuring its workers pacing back and forth and some also staring at the computer doing their respective duties. The elevator opens, and Danesh and Deline walk into the room of President Sanatha, the owner of the advertising agency. This is where Danesh works, his father's building. As he said yesterday, he will bring Deline together with his father.

"I'm sure you'd be surprised to see you,"

Danesh greeted the woman sitting in front of his father's room, and then he opened the door. Sanatha looked up when someone walked into her room without knocking on the door, she was surprised to see the figure behind her son.

"Deline?" shock while taking off the glasses.

"Dad,"

"You're here?"

Deline wanted to hug her father. Suddenly the old man grabbed the phone and talked to someone. He turned his back on the two while laughing at the other person. The girl undoes her intentions, Danesh notices the younger brother who seems disappointed by Natha's welcome. The man looked ordinary with his daughter present.

"Why don't you tell me your sister's coming," Natha grabbed her work coat, and held up her purse. He walked towards the two.

"Danesh, treat your sister well. I have to see your mother, she's very spoiled." she continued, patting her son's shoulder.

Deline felt ignored, it was true what the mother said about her father's selfish attitude than the people around him. Being ignored by his own biological father and being more concerned about his new wife, isn't that quite sick? Deline breathes a long breath—holds her patience.

"There's no warm welcome for Deline, why is Dad like this?"

Natha stopped, she turned around. "What welcome? Celebrating his arrival by having a party?"

Danesh clenched his hands. Really, that old man is so annoying. Why is he being cold to his own son? Hey, Deline's your flesh and blood, damn it.

"Dad!"

"It's okay, I understand how busy Dad is." prevent Deline from warming up.

Without sin, Natha left the room and ignored her two children. Soon a woman comes in and tells Danesh that a sudden meeting is about to begin.

"So, just continue. I can go home alone,"

"But Del-,"

"It's okay, believe me."

"All right, you careful? And I'm sorry I couldn't take you home—that's why the meeting was held so suddenly. If there's anything, call me right away,"

"Yes Brother Dan. It's there, they're waiting for you."

No problem, Deline has to be sincere with what happened today. He understood the busyness of the two, after all there was something that Deline wanted to do. Yep, yesterday he had chosen the campus to be his review. The streets themselves were also not a terrible thing, he was already used to doing anything independently.

Wind blows thinly touching the skin that is open due to scratches sharp objects. Pain and tenderness around the bottom of the eye. Yardan held onto her bruised cheek, her facial condition looked bad. Wounds everywhere, he had just been beaten by a hoodlum. It was not new for him to feel the blows and torments of the men of Mr. Frans. Because of his delay in paying off the wife's debt in the past, he had to take a hit from the berandal pay.

Yardan walked by dragging her left leg— opened the door of the house, then leaned back in the chair. Jasmine came out of the room, she was shocked to see her father's messy and injured condition.

"Dad beaten up bad guys again?" tanyanya sounded worried. Yardan.

Jasmine immediately searched for a P3K box to treat the father's wounds. He took a gauze that was pressed with yellow medicine, then attached the plaster to the torn wound. This kind of scene was common for the boy to see, sometimes he also saw firsthand how his father was beaten up all out.

As much as possible if the hoodlums were to block him, he would have to feel it for himself without Jasmine knowing. Yardan did not want to see the child afraid that resulted in the disease relapse. Although run as far away as possible and try to hide, but it was in vain. He could not cover the wounds that adorned his body when in front of the child. Lying is useless, Jasmine is not a stupid child. He already knew what happened to his father when he came home in such circumstances.

"Dad will prepare dinner." Yardan walked into the kitchen. His little angel kept staring at his father's back.

It was sad for their fate, always trampled by the powerful. This is the life of Yardan, inevitably must remain strong and patient. Left by his wife, living under the pressure of debt and became the material of the months of reliance. Despite that, Yardan did not want to give up. He had to stay spirited for the sake of his daughter—Jasmine was the only treasure he had in this world. No matter what the circumstances, Yardan must remain vigorous and unyielding.

When he was washing vegetables in the sink, suddenly as dense as a flower penetrates his sense of smell. Yardan was made curious by the aroma. He looked out the outside window. What Yardan saw down there was a shocking sight, again and again some men in black stood sculpting with white flower arrangements. He immediately closed the curtain, and turned his back to the window.

"Dad, someone is knocking on the door" said Jasmine.

Yardan was surprised, she looked back at the group of mysterious people earlier. Surprisingly, they are gone. Jasmine walked towards the door because the father did not respond. Quickly Yardan ran to prevent him, she hinted at Jasmine to be silent. The father-of-one peeked out from the small hole of the door, out there displaying a well-dressed man waiting at the door. Yardan breathed a sigh of relief that her guess was wrong, she thought that the ones knocking on the door were a bunch of people earlier. But he is the owner of an apartment building.

"Jasmine, before opening the door for someone, I ask you to look first from the small hole in the door. I just want you to stay safe, you understand, right?" Yardan's advice after finishing his business with the apartment owner.

Jasmine nodded as she devoured the snack.

"Smart kid."

°°°

It was already too late to pay a visit to the University of Exact, the main gate had already been locked by the officers. Deline regretted coming late to make her visit. Maybe because it's too far away from the university with the office of the brother, but it's okay there's still tomorrow.

Not wanting to look vain had come all the way to this place, Deline decided to take a walk around the university park. The atmosphere is quite crowded, there is also street food that serves a variety of foods. This place is perfect to visit with couples, many young people who are dating in this park area.

In the middle there is a small lake, the scenery is quite good to be immortalized. Deline pulled out her phone and photographed the lake and the discolored sky above. The refraction of sunlight produces amazing colors adorning the afternoon sky. Small birds fly low to return to their nests.

A camera lens cap rolled towards Deline. The light thing stopped at his feet, he leaned over and took the lid.

"That's my lens," a young man approached Deline with a small chuckle.

"Eh?" Deline.

"Thank you,"

The girl nodded.

"You want me to take a photo?" bargained for. The boy was carrying a digital camera.

Deline looked at the young man doubtfully, but she assured him.

"Don't worry, I won't do anything bad with your pictures. I'll send it to you later, and after that you can see for yourself that I'm going to remove it."

Deline smiled, she agreed. After all, sunset moments like this are indeed very appropriate to be immortalized. Immediately the girl took a graceful pose, not forgetting her sweet smile to be the perfecting spice of the photo this time. The young man was amazed by the shots because Deline was so beautiful and natural.

"Everything's great, check this out." The young man showed the results to Deline. They sat in a garden chair.

"By the way, what's your name?"

"I'm Deline, and you?"

"Arlo," she replied with a smile. "You're alone here?"

"Yeah, like that. Actually I wanted to look around the campus across there, but I was too late. They have closed it," he regretted.

"Exact University's?"

"Yeah,"

"Hey, I'm one of the students there. Do you want to sign up or?" lontar Arlo introduced himself.

"Yeah, that's right. I want to register as a student there. I want to continue my studies to get a doctorate," Deline's newspaper enthusiastically.

"Okay, okay. If you have time to visit again tomorrow, call me. It just so happens that tomorrow I have a class, so I can take you around and introduce Exact University."

"Great ideas. Thank you so much, Arlo."

After the conversation, they exchanged numbers. Deline desperately needs someone to introduce her to the campus of choice. It was fortunate that he met one of the students from the University of Exact. Arlo is a young man who is busy working on his script, in a moment he will get an S1 degree in computer engineering.

Arlo Ludwig, a young man of Dutch-Thai descent in addition to busy with college. He also worked as a journalist at a television station. It just so happens that today he is off, and to fill the void Arlo chose to walk around the park to just wash his eyes.

The moonlight penetrated through the clear glass, without permission the light slipped into the room. Deline sat beside the window while looking at the moon up there which was beginning to be covered by clouds. He deliberately did not turn on the lights so that only the moonlight became the light of the atmosphere of his room. A very beautiful moment, enjoying a cup of tea under the dim light like this.

A scrap of paper was blown off, naturally opening up a page that displayed beautiful figurative words. The novel 'Kalopsia' tells of a more beautiful delusion of reality. The story of a drug addict who wants to escape from the shackles of sin. In the book tells a piece of the story of his struggle to return to the surface of normal life.

Amidst the calm drifting in the atmosphere, Danesh suddenly turns chaotic when he opens the door and turns on the lights. The two stared at each other with the intention of asking.

"Why did you turn off your room lights?"

"I just wanted to enjoy the moonlight, but now you're just messing it up." Deline half protested.

Danesh snorted briefly. "About Dad—'s attitude I ask not to think too much? Deline, I know it disappointed you. However, you must remember that I will always be by your side."

"Yes, Brother. I believe in you, and thank you in the midst of your busy life, you always take the time to pay attention to me."

The atmosphere changed to haru, the relationship between the brothers is fairly complementary. They understand each other. Danesh has always been perfect as a sister. Every brother needs someone to tell a story, the man is always ready and listening. Deline is very proud to have an understanding sister like Danesh.
