12 Badoets
Tenth Telu

Right at noon, Adi was still sitting in the living room of Mr. Suko's house. Cold orange water has been served with some fried on the plate. Adi was pensive in his seat, staring at the silent-faced host.

"If my son survives that time, he's also the same age as Mr. Wito's son. And because of my descendants, maybe he is not as smart as the son of Mr. Wito, but he should accompany my old age that feels empty," said Mr. Suko staring at the television screen in front of him.

He began to worry about his own behavior. Since first investigating the case of death of the elderly, Adi's mind was dragged also on the case of robbery in 91. Until then he suspected there was involvement of officers in the past case. The suspicion leads to the owner of the golden watch after the incident of Tarji's kidnapping. But when he met the owner of the golden watch, all the presumptions disappeared. Adi's heart is not sure if Mr. Suko is involved in crime.

"You were asking about the 91st robbery, right?" Mr. Suko sighed. Adi nodded slowly.

"At that time I was off duty. A few days before the robbery, my pregnant wife slipped in the bathroom. He died with our baby still in the womb. At that time I was crazy about work. I pay less attention to my wife. Even when he left, I was not with him," said Mr. Suko lirih. The old man was seen shedding tears.

"When the robbery was investigated, I wasn't on the investigation team. Let alone to work, to eat even I was reluctant. I was like an undead at the time. Well if you think about it now, my heart, and my world have collapsed after my wife and son left. I just go day by day without a purpose. Dark times that I want to forget," continued Mr. Suko while bertehem several times.

"I'm sorry for reminding you of the thing that made Njengan hurt" Adi said.

"Collecting gold watches, the only hobby that makes me a little forget the past. The watch, the time indicator, by looking at the ticking needle I realized, the movement could not turn around in the direction. Time will always take you away, even the pain will be healed by time. Glamorous golden color, the favorite of my late wife," said Mr. Suko ignoring Adi. Like that story to himself.

Now, Adi is increasingly convinced that the old man in front of him has no connection with the case he is investigating.

"Emmm, one thing I want to make sure of. Was it the Njenengan who gave my colleague Tarji a golden watch during the 3rd anniversary celebration of retirement?" ask Adi full of probes.

"Ohh, yeah. The young man was lucky. It was I who gave him the golden watch" replied Mr. Suko confidently.

Adi pensive. From the looks of it, Mr. Suko is not lying. That means, Adi's guess is wrong and misses. Adi grabbed the cold orange in the glass and immediately gulped it down. He wants to go home soon.

"Well, yesterday's birthday celebration was actually planned by Mr. Wito. Maybe because his intelligent son was about to run, so he felt the need to improve relations with young officers like you," said Mr. Suko. Adi just remained silent. He was embarrassed, wrongly suspecting people.

"The golden watch was indeed planned to be a doorprise and I was appointed to give it. It's an expensive watch, and I honestly want it. What a young man who got it really lucky," continued Mr. Suko.

"I mean Njenengan, the gold watch does not belong to Njenengan?" adi asked a little surprised.

"No. The watch was from Mr. Wito, "said Mr. Suko briefly.

Adi almost choked. Now he understood, Mr. Suko was not the golden watch that Adi was looking for.

"Sir, I'm sorry. Is Mr Wito in the 91st robbery on the investigation team?" ask Adi later.

"Yes, of course. Although the case was not solved, but the dedication and performance of Mr. Wito at that time deserves a thumbs up." Mr. Suko mangosteen.

"Yes, and approved. At that time, the house belonging to the robbery victim was confiscated by the bank. His name as rich as any entrepreneur would have debts and dependents. His wife also does not work. Finally the house was auctioned. On the basis of Mr. Wito's recommendation, the former house was finally redeemed and used as an office until now. Its strategic location in the city center is indeed suitable for office areas" explained Mr. Suko.

Adi put an empty glass in his hand. There is no longer any reason to remain silent for longer at Mr. Suko's house. The real gold watch is Mr. Wito.

"Alright sir, I say goodbye then," said Adi hastily.

"Well, what are you really looking for, son? I was also an officer. From your questions and concerns, I think you suspect the owner of the golden watch is connected to the 91 case" Mr. Suko frowned.

"No Sir. All of that is just about wanting to know me. You take care of your health, I say goodbye," Adi concluded. He felt no need to tell Mr. Suko anything.

After greeting the pensioner, Adi rushed to grab his motorbike parked outside the fence. Mr. Suko only watched from the front porch. The old face of the face illustrates a lot of questions in the heart.

Adi drives the motor in the hot sun. From the shadow of the body formed, the sun is almost directly above the head. The atmosphere of the road that is not too dense makes Adi freely pass one or two vehicles in front of him.

In less than 20 minutes, the motor driven by Adi began to move slowly. And finally it stopped in front of a large house with a high fence covering the inside of the house. A guard peeked out of the fence, noticing who was visiting his employer's house.

"What do you need?" ask the guard half-snaps.

"Pak Wito is home?" He asked back in a friendly manner.

"Nothing! Is leaving! What's the need to ask?" The housekeeper kept on snapping with his vicious face.

"I'm a police officer who needs his advice. Can I wait for him to come home?" adi asked, still smiling.

"Police?" The housekeeper scrunched his forehead. He seems to think. The mouth that had been snapping, was now tightly clenched.

"Let me wait. Do not have to enter the house, maybe it can be in an important guard post can shelter. It's very hot out here sir," Adi's pinta weld.

"Are you a cop?" ask the housekeeper, doubting Adi's words.

Adi sighed, and took out a wallet. Then show his identification.

"All right, come in. But before you come, you have to wait at the guard post with me" the housekeeper glared. Adi nodded convincingly while smiling. Taking the hearts of others for investigation is a skill he possesses.
