The Skewers House
Case completed?

After yesterday Mas Adi met with Prambudi, this afternoon he felt like getting a new spirit. The spirit and the belief that he can meet with Retno again. If Prambudi turns sharply against him, Mas Adi hopes that Retno will still be like the old Retno. Retno's mother who nurtures and loves her as if they really are siblings.

Mas Adi recalled the difficult times in the past. When the rice rations are only enough for two small plates. Retno ma'am willing to hold his hunger so that Mas Adi and Prambudi can still be full and sleep soundly. When Mas Adi accidentally dropped the plate until it broke, Ma'am Retno who put up the body received punishment from Bu Ginah the caretaker of the house. Kala Mas Adi fell ill with fever two days and two nights, Retno was the one who treated him. With painstaking Mbak Retno compresses Mas Adi until his body is healthy again.

Given it all, without feeling the tears Mas Adi fell by itself. There is guilt when he is currently living well, but has not been able to meet his guardian angel.

"Ngapain anyway?," Tarji patted Mas Adi on the shoulder. Mas Adi was silent not saying, he was seen rubbing his eyes.

"Nangis Di?," Tarji asked in surprise, a little incredulous of what he saw. Is Mas Adi crying?

Tarji knows very well, Mas Adi is a tough man, the best graduate of the police academy a few years ago. Scratched, hit, like whatever the man is able to be calm and endure pain. So what makes him shed tears?

"You cry?," Tarji shook Mas Adi's shoulder slightly roughly.

"Nggaaak, again slicing onions," replied Mas Adi sekhenya.

"Nand-common. Why the hell, bro? Dong's story, let's feel more relieved," Tarji sat next to Mas Adi.

"I want to see Mbak Retno," said Mas Adi Lirih.

"Talking about that, I yesterday after meeting the Prambudi, idly looking for info about him," Tarji stared at Mas Adi sharply.

"Keep?," Mas Adi seems not too interested in talking for now.

"Currently Prambudi occupies a house in the district K. You remember, the case of the disappearance of the woman in the morning that we talked about first?," Tarji asked, Mas Adi seemed to be getting interested in this conversation.

"Yes. Keep going?" Mas Adi was curious.

"The missing woman is the owner of the house now occupied by Prambudi. And somehow by chance or how, the missing woman was named Retno," Tarji half-whispered.

Mas Adi was shocked. A coincidence that is too magical. Mas Adi tapped on his desk with his index finger. He seemed to be thinking of something.

"You have the missing woman's investigation file? The picture?," Mas Adi glared at Tarji.

"There's in the barn, let me show you," Tarji quickly got up from his seat. So did Mas Adi, immediately following walking Tarji.

Arriving at the storage warehouse at the back of the office, there is a stack of files with a brown map. Neat and clean, sorted by date, month and year of the investigation. Tarji deftly took one of the documents located on the upper shelf, then thrust it on Mas Adi. Mas Adi opened the document, and read it at a glance. There's a picture in it. Photo of the woman reported missing, a beautiful woman with a mole on her chin.

As if not believing what he saw, Mas Adi kept silent. He is unable to say words. That photo, the one he's been looking for all this time. A photo of his rescue angel in childhood. The photo of the woman who gave him affection, the first woman in the world to give him happiness and life.

"This. .not possible. This is Retno's Mother" Mas Adi's voice trembled.

"He's long gone Di, and his house is now occupied by Prambudi," Tarji patted Mas Adi on the shoulder. He's feeling concerned.

Adi wants to cry. Just now he felt excited and sure to meet again with Mbak Retno. But now asa is back. Facts show that Retno was missing for many years, has not been found until now. Even her husband is currently overseas.

"Jii, take me to Prambudi's house now," Mas Adi pulled Tarji's arm. Tarji nodded slowly.

They hurried back to their desks. Mas Adi took his little sling bag. When he was about to step out of the office, that was when news spread that once again made Mas Adi shocked not to play. According to information circulating in the office, Mr. Doto's car had an accident, falling into a ravine.

"Dii, how is this? Your suspect car fell into the ravine," Tarji walked on a bumpy road approaching Mas Adi.

Adi was silent for a moment. He thought about what next step he should take.

"All right, let's see Mr. Doto's condition first. We also need to communicate with the officers there, guess what caused the accident. Does it mean that the case we are dealing with is finished with this incident, or do not let us who have made the wrong conclusion" Mas Adi muttered.

"I'm sure, in this case the disappearance of the woman was completed Di," Tarji smiled confidently.

Arriving at the crash site, it was evening. The sunlight had already started to fade, changing into darkness and a bone-chilling chill. The light rain added to the increasingly somber atmosphere. Dressed in a black raincoat, Mas Adi and Tarji looked down at the bottom of the ravine. A black car looks shuffled down there.

Mas Adi had finished questioning the officers who were there. Based on the information obtained, it is certain that Mr. Doto and his driver did not survive. But evacuation can not be done, because the terrain is very steep and difficult, also the weather is not supportive.

Mas Adi took shelter under a large, shady tree. Tarji followed, he looked cold. His lips turned blue and shook.

"It looks like Mr. Doto's driver was surprised that there was lightning striking a big tree over there. Banting the steering wheel to the right," Tarji's voice sounded trembling, cold.

"But he said there was something strange about Ji. Before the surrounding residents came, there were already many footprints under the lightning struck tree," Mas Adi pointed to the tree in question.

"It is possible that the footprints already existed before the events of Di," Tarji said lightly. Mas Adi raised both shoulders, as if saying 'come on'.

Drrttt Drrttt Drttt

HP Mas Adi stored in the pocket of the pants vibrate. A call from Sinta. Mas Adi immediately took a distance with Tarji then picked up the phone. Mas Adi did not want Tarji to eavesdrop on his conversation with a woman. Because it can be a mockery.

.

"Hallo," Sinta's voice sounded melodious on the phone.

"Halloo, what's wrong?" Mas Adi asked, a little nervous.

"I just want to call you" Sinta said softly. Adi was excited to hear it.

"Where are you, Mas? How do you hear the rain? While outside?," Sinta asked curiously.

"Well, is investigating something," replied Mas Adi of original origin.

"Ohh. Emm, Mas?," Sinta called Mas Adi slowly, like hesitating to say something.

"Well, what's wrong?" Mas Adi asked Sinta.

"I want to quit my job now. You want to support me?," Sinta asked doubtfully. Mas Adi was silent for a moment. There was a sense of happiness and hard feelings expressed in Mas Adi's heart.

"What'sthis? What is this smoke?," Mas Adi replied, Sinta sounded panicked.

"What's wrong? Sin? Answer me!," Mas Adi cried out.

No answer from Sinta. There was only a voice, like a man muttering.

"Hey? The love? You why? Who's there? Heii!," Mas Adi kept shouting, but there was no answer. While the voice of the muttering man sounded increasingly clear. Mas Adi immediately pulled Tarji, inviting him to immediately return to the car. The clueless Tarji could only comply with his comrade's request without asking.
