...I try to lie just to hide my fear...


...**********...


Agus is enjoying a cup of authentic coffee from Toraja, a treat for a special friend of the owner of the Law office, Tania. He accidentally stopped by the place where Tania worked.


This law office is fairly simple, not an institution that looks cool with mounds of top clients. Tania is out of her comfort zone as a white-collar lawyer.


Agus was a little surprised by Tania's courageous decision. He left a prestigious law firm and set up his own law firm with below average clients.


Even according to Tania's confession, she still frequently argued with her adoptive parents about this decision. Pulling away from the all-luxury environment, which has raised its name until now is not easy.


Now he is more often taking care of the cases of teri class and helping the poor to get legal help for free. Considering he had lived in an orphanage and lived destitute, according to him this is a form of return.


Agus was more and more fascinated with Tania's kindness, not only beautiful but very generous. Agus' first love while sitting in the High School never faded in the slightest.


Tania returns to tell me that she has built an organization that reaps the pros and cons of society. The organization he called Metamorphosis, like a disgusting caterpillar fighting out of a rotten shell and into a beautiful butterfly.


The organization moves to protect, nurture and deceive ex-convicts who want to live better. For him it was an organization that was hated by everyone. Especially by the families of victims who feel the suffering of those who have done evil.


"I'm sure they're butterflies who once lived life as disgusting caterpillars, but unfortunately not all can be" Tania said, looking at the organization's photo gallery.


"Of course your life is very hard to live all this, dealing with low-class criminality is like walking in a hallway full of crocodiles" Agus replied.


Tania could only smile, indeed life was so tiring and always far from expectations. But he feels his life is more meaningful if it can help them all.


Talking about the metamorphosis of butterflies, Agus remembered Nana's butterfly necklace that he had to investigate. During this time he was very hard to find a store that sold the necklace.


He showed a photo depicting a necklace with a unique butterfly design. Agus wanted to ask for an opinion on how he could find the person selling the necklace.


"It looks like I know where the necklace was made," Tania replied with a smile.


"really?"


Tania then released HP and opened social media Instagram. He said he had seen one of the famous designers from Italy post such a butterfly necklace.


The designer's name is Marcus, he owns numerous jewelry boutiques in Italy and several other European countries. His necklace is always ordered directly by rich people around the world.


Agus saw Marcus's post and saw a picture of a butterfly necklace on his Instagram wall. It turned out that the necklace was very similar to Nana's. Judging from the date and time he posted his work, it was exactly two days after the murder of P S K.


Agus continued to concentrate on remembering the events of the past. He felt very confident that two days after the murder of Siska, there was no mass media that preached about the butterfly tattoo belonging to the victim.


The news began to go viral after the fourth and fifth days after the murder. But he has not been too sure of all the assumptions, Agus has to confirm with the designer Marcus.


Agus eventually enlists Tania's help to enlist Marcus' contacts in Italy. He wanted to talk in person via Skype and ask a lot of questions about the butterfly necklace.


Of course Tania could very well do it, she was the son of a rich person as well. It's easy to contact Marcus's designer directly.


******


After Skype with Marcus, Agus was silent and a lot of dumb. He still couldn't digest all of Marcus's explanations. It was not that he was not good at English, he was shocked to hear the designer's words.


According to Marcus' confession, the necklace was ordered by one of the clients from Indonesia. The necklace was ordered by Farel with a special butterfly design. As he remembered, the design was taken from a painting that his wife had made herself.


The necklace was very expensive because it was deliberately made in one day and one night. The necklace was completed on April 9 and sent directly to Indonesia at that time. Asked about the butterfly design, Marcus said he knew nothing.


This certainly carries a great suspicion. From where Nana could tell about the butterfly image that only the last victim had. Moreover, he had to paint his own butterfly exactly the same.


Geck.. Geck..


The door of his room was knocked by his mother, it turns out that Surti's mother was already standing in front of the door. She smiled sweetly at the sight of her son suddenly coming home.


"Mommy wants to bring chicken rica rica to the next neighbor, later do not forget the door lock from the inside, yes" said Ms. Surti.


"Who are you going to feed your gini-rich nights to?" ask Agus suspiciously.


"Who else if not Nana same Farel. I'm going to go there first and you want to gossip with Nana."


Suddenly Agus got up from the chair, he walked over to his mother with a face full of anxiety. He immediately took over the challenge in the hands of Surti's mother.


"Gak ah, same mom. I miss talking to Nana."


"Can't be ma'am!" shouted Agus.


"That's it anyway."


"Mom can't talk to our neighbors anymore. Let alone entering their house, don't let it!!"


"Ko so ngelarang that son, anyway what is the reason? After all, they are all very good with mothers, especially Nana is a woman from a good class, educated, rich but always humble," defended Surti insistent.


"Because he's too perfect, that's exactly what we have to watch out for. From now on you don't have to be near them anymore, stay as far away as possible. If we could just move house!!"


Agus then left with a face full of anger and annoyance. He challenged it while closing the door of the house from the outside. This time he had to lock his own mother, not to let Mother Surti into the neighboring house.


He then walked over to Nana and Farel's house. He did not want to enter as usual, now he was just waiting in front of the gate.


After pressing the bell, the couple finally came together. Nana even welcomed herself with enthusiasm and courtesy. Agus did not respond at all.


Agus sees Nana still wearing the butterfly necklace. He tried to look deeper into whether there was a mistake from the design, but it turned out that everything was very exactly and the same. There is no gap that makes it different.


He gave the bushel to Nana, Agus reasoned that Surti's mother was too exhausted and could not be bothered by anyone. Indirectly, Agus gave a code so that Nana did not have to come to her house again.


Nana smiled and nodded in understanding, she returned to the kitchen to warm the chicken rica in the microwave. But Agus arrested Farel, he wanted to invite the man to the same for fresh air.


********


Agus and Farel finally chose a small bench on the edge of the Ibu Tini grocery store. They both smoked cigarettes with cold drinks. Incidentally Bekasi air tonight is not too hot, even tends to rain.


To be honest this was not the first time they had gone out in search of a fresh breeze. So Farel did not mind being invited out by his own neighbors. Even Farel began to like Agus as a friend to chat in this complex.


"I heard you're getting divorced?" agus opened the conversation.


"Yes" answered Farel.


Agus looked at Farel further, the man was being struck by grief and a burden that could not be shared with anyone. This time Agus felt sorry for him, the perfect life was not owned by anyone.


"But it seems you can't just take Nana off, the proof is that you're giving a butterfly necklace to your own wife."


"Where do you know if the necklace was my gift?"


"My mother" answered Agus lying.


"There's nothing special about the necklace, so don't get me wrong."


Agus was silent for a moment, he continued to pay attention to Farel's face. To be honest he was quite afraid to ask a lot about divorce. It was just that he desperately needed information from Farel directly.


"If you know where you bought that necklace? Maybe I can buy it for Tania, you know that I like her" Agus said trying to keep a relaxed smile.


Farel was not a fool, he knew that Agus was after a lot of information about the necklace. He realized that Agus would eventually suspect Nana.


"I bought it in one of the Jakarta malls, just look for it yourself, the necklace is sold everywhere," replied Farel with a straight look.


"really? I thought it was expensive."


"The necklace is worth nothing. It is very suitable to be used as a farewell gift," said Farel jutek while throwing a beer can into the garbage can.


He left Agus, he wanted to distance himself from the police. Suddenly he was angry and upset, because he continued to disturb his wife's life.


Seeing Farel's response and expression that was far beyond belief, Agus was even more frustrated. How can a man who is about to get a divorce protect his wife like that.


Agus knows that Farel is lying, but why lie in front of a police officer. It was a very brave act.


...Is Farel being controlled by Nana?...


Agus became worried about Farel's fate. He felt that Farel was under the manipulative shadow of his wife. He was able to cooperate with the police, but he turned into a stupid and cowardly man.
