99 Love for You
Proof

Two weeks later

*Cecilia POV*

I saw myself in the mirror. My face is shabby, disheveled, and very messy. It's been two weeks since my daughter Tasya left. No!! I can't be like this. I can't go back inside the old me. The old me is dead. I have to get back to who I am now.

I'm going to the office again. Although everyone already knows what happened to me and Mas Alvian. I'll face everything.

Alvian looked at me with a strange look. I know he's surprised. Because I decided to go back to work.

"Are you sure you're okay, Cil?"

"Yes, Mas. I'm doing fine. I'm tired of being at home anyway. I'll be back to work from today."

"Then what about your friends who-"

"You don't have to worry. I can handle everything." I showed my best smile to Mas Alvian.

She hugged me. And apologized to me. I think he apologized to me a thousand times. I don't know what he's thinking.

I stepped into the AJ Foods building. It feels like I haven't been here in a long time.

The atmosphere felt a little strange. Some people were whispering as I walked.

Ah, I don't want to ignore them. I am Cecilia. And I am a strong woman. I saw Amel running towards me. And hugged me right away. Well, I already knew he'd be like this. Instead of comforting me, even he who cried as much as he pleased.

"I'm fine, Mel. Why are you crying? I'm it's okay. You're supposed to comfort me, not even you crying." I smiled at him.

Amel wiped away her tears. "Sorry, Cil. All this time I've never known if you've kept a heavy enough load."

"It's okay, Mel. I'm already fine. Oh yeah, Danny said there was a meeting today. Then I go first. Surely Mr. Rangga is waiting."

I better get going. Because Amel will definitely ask me a lot of things especially about Mas Alvian and Nayla.

In the meeting room, I saw Mr. Rangga who was very surprised by my presence. I haven't told him that I'm going back to work today.

I was just communicating with Danny. I feel Mr. Rangga has helped a lot about Tasya yesterday. So I better not worry him any more.

"You? Have you started working?"

"I'm sorry, sir. Because I didn't tell my father first. If I start working again today. I have been in contact with Danny. Again I'm sorry." I bowed before Mr. Rangga.

With a confused face, he answered. "Y-yes already. Please sit down. Our client will be here soon."

"Thank you very much, sir."

...***...

I still see strange looks looking at me. I don't give a shit. Not those who are going through all this. Why should they bother with all my problems?

I passed Nadine after coming out of the meeting room. He looked at me clingy. His eyes were sharp as usual. All I hear is that Nadine didn't come to visit Tasya's funeral. I still understand him. Because he can't forgive me.

She's coming for me. In a flat and cynical tone he spoke to me.

I smile. "It's okay, Nad. Enough of this."

"About what the office guys are talking about, is it true that your husband has a young wife?"

I smiled back. "So you heard it? Whatever trouble I'm dealing with, I won't bring it into the office. Enough God and I know."

I hurried to leave. But Nadine said a few words to me.

"You should have realized. If what happened to you, it's in return for what you've done in the past. Hope you can face this ordeal." Nadine smiled grinningly, and it was even she who ended up leaving me unmoved. I clenched my hand. For a moment I felt so claustrophobic.

"Cyl? You okay?" Radit's voice ripped me off.

I looked at her, then smiled at her. "Yes, it's okay."

"I saw you talking to Nadine. What are you guys talking about? He doesn't talk weird, does he?"

"No. He just said his condolences."

Then suddenly my phone rang. Unknown number. I lifted. From the police station.

...***...

Arriving at the police station, I met with a police investigator. He is young, his age is not much different from mine. He introduced himself.

His name is Ismail Marzuki. For a moment I was a little surprised. His name is familiar to my ears. Ah, like the name of a highway and also a park.

I asked him what I was called here. He said if he found any other evidence of Tasya's accident. I widened my eyes.

"There was a witness who sent a video of the accident that happened to my mother's daughter that day. The video was captured from a surveillance camera the witness had installed in his private car." Obviously Mr. Ismail.

"The witness did not want to be named, because he was afraid, if dragged deeper into this case. So he just left the tape to us. Let me drop off, I'll show you the video to mom. Are you ready to see it?"

I hesitated. I saw scene after scene where that day Tasya had an accident. And I saw an unexpected fact that I had never expected before.

I tried to calm myself. My body feels like it's going to collapse back. No!! I have to be strong. I have to be able to deal with all this.

Mr. Ismail gave me a glass of water. He knew I was shocked to see the video. I drink it slowly.

"Mom is calm?" Ask Mr. Ismail who was called 'Ndan by his friends.

I'm nodding. "Then... Do you have any other evidence?"

"We searched the letter in question in the video, but we did not find it. Maybe it has been carried away by the wind, or has been carried by a garbage car. Maybe you can help us by finding out about the letter. As small as a hint from mom, it could help with the investigation."

"Sir, have you told my husband?"

"No, Ma. Because the manager said Mr. Alvian was very busy."

"Don't call him!" Shouts suddenly. Sontak surprised Ismail and his team. "Let me find out."

"Be good."

"So do you think, if I can find any other evidence, is there any indication that anyone else was involved in my son's accident? And could it be that this wasn't an ordinary accident?"

"It could be, Mom. But we cannot conclude any deeper. We need to find solid evidence first. We will re-investigate the case. And we'll find out from the people that mother's daughter met that day."

I looked far away. There was an unsettled feeling raging in my heart. There was something Nayla was hiding, and also Mas Alvian. My gut feeling said so.
