Beno waved his hand at the skinny tall man who was none other than Panca, his friend who was looking for work. Beno invited Panca to sit down. After ordering a drink, the two began to engage in conversation.
“Truly this bang I can directly work?”
“Iya. mas Abi himself who said you stand by in the office workshop aja.”
“Wah thanks ya. By the way which office is mas?”
“That Metro East.”
Panca was silent for a while, trying to remember the familiar company name in her ear. His eyes widened when he found out he was accepted to work at a large company engaged in trading and property.
“Woaah. I can directly acc it bang. Know the boss?”
“Alhamdulillah I am trusted to be the head of security of the Wisdom family.”
“Family Wisdom?”
Panca was silent again. The name was familiar to his ears. The man did not remember because the Wisdom family was one of the conglomerates but because of an event that made Panca's life turned upside down.
“Why Pan? How did your face shoot?”
“Bang Beno knows Abhimanyu Hikmat?”
“Lah..he is the one who has accepted you to work, my boss.”
“Hah?”
“Why?”
Beno looked suspiciously at this friend. Panca looked restless, occasionally he rubbed his nape or scratched his head that was not itchy. He looked at Beno's face for a moment. His heart was worried about telling stories. But finally a series of stories flowed also from his mouth.
☘️☘️☘️
After hearing reports from Beno, Abi intends to meet Panca. Unexpectedly the man turned out to bring shocking news about his accident first. He also invites Juna and Cakra. The three of them immediately headed for the headquarters of their family security team.
Juna watched Panca from top to bottom. He recognizes Panca as the mechanic who checked Abi's car as well as Vicko's post-crash. Examination is done to find out if the accident that occurred is indeed an accident or there is an element of deliberate. And from the results of the investigation, the fateful event was purely an accident. Human error factor because Vicko can not control the speed of his car until his vehicle out of the lane and hit another rider.
“You are the person in charge of checking the condition of the car after the accident right?” ask Juna.
“Iya sir.”
“What do you mean by there is an error of the results of the inspection?”
Panca swallowed his spit chelate. He was quite afraid of the reaction given by Juna or Abi later. Cold sweat soaked his forehead as well as his palms. Abi who caught the unease on Panca's face, spoke up.
“Not to be afraid. Just tell me what you know. We won't sue you or put you in jail.”
Hearing the assurance from Abi, Panca's heart began to calm down. After calming down for a while he began to tell what he knew at the time.
“Actually from the results of the examination of the car used by Mr. Abi there is no problem. But the car used by Mr. Vicko has a problem. I checked the car and found that the brake straps had been damaged. Similarly, with the steering wheel, some have damaged it as well so that the rider can not control the speed of the vehicle.”
Both Abi, Juna and Cakra were quite surprised to hear it. So far they believe that the fateful events were purely an accident, as well as the Vicko family. Aswan blames Abi for the accident. Abi is chasing after Vicko who fled with Fahira.
“Then why are you lying?”
“I'm sorry sir, I was forced to. I also need money for my mother's surgery. In addition, I was also threatened to be killed if I did not want to lie.”
“Who told you?”
“I don't know sir. Because he only contacted me by phone. I was scared because when I contacted him, he was with my mother and sister. I'm afraid they were hurt, so I immediately agreed.”
“Do you have any proof?”
“I secure the memory card from the car camera pack Vicko. There is clearly recorded what happened before the accident.”
Panca took out her wallet and took out a small card wrapped in white plastic and gave it to Abi. Cakra took the tablet from his bag and then paired the memory card. He played the recording inside the memory card.
Vicko drives his car at high speed. Next to him Fahira sat down, occasionally his head turned back. Both faces looked worried. Behind them, Abi chased after him.
“Vick.. fast Vick.. That Abi has started to follow.”
Vicko pressed the gas pedal deeply. The speedometer's needle is already pointing to the number 150. The man relentlessly pressed the horn to repel the obstructing vehicle in front of him. In a fork, Vicko intended to lower his speed because it would turn. Vicko presses the brake pedal but turns out the car brake is blong. Several times he stepped on the brake pedal but in vain.
“Why Vick?”
“Fa..the brake is blong.”
“Don't joke you Vick.”
“I'm not kidding, the brakes are blong!”
The two men panicked. The car they were riding in was getting out of control. Not to lose his surprise, Vicko again made to panic with steering wheel that can not be moved properly.
“Fa.. the steering wheel is jammed. how is it.”.
Abi braked his vehicle seeing the accident that hit Vicko. Vicko's car, which was hit by a hard blow, rolled several times and then hit the car used by Abi. The recording stopped there.
Abi held his breath looking at the tape. Seeing the enormity of the accident, he was quite grateful to be alive and only suffered temporary paralysis. Unlike Vicko and Fahira who were immediately killed on the spot. Vicko's body was squashed by the body of the car while Fahira was thrown a few meters from the car. The driver of the mini bus that collided with Vicko was not able to be saved. He died when he was taken to the hospital.
“Means someone deliberately wants to harm Vicko,” Juna said breaking the silence.
“Bi, how can you tell if Fahira's affair is Vicko?” ask Cakra.
“There is also a video of Fahira with Vicko to my phone from an unknown number. Honestly, I got emotional and came straight to Vicko in his apartment. We fight, and Vicko escapes with Fahira. I immediately chase them and then you know yourself.”
“Lo don't try to track no it?”
“Udah. but it's a disposable card. There's no trace of him. Dipake identity has a counter guard who sells pulses. He also does not want who to buy because many buyers of new disposable cards use his identity.”
“It turns out your accident is not as simple as we thought.”
“Om Aswan should know Bi. Let him not continue to blame you for Vicko.”'s death
“Let's aja kak.”
“Ngga can Bi. He should know. Om Aswan is a grudge against you, I'm afraid Nina or Anfa will be the target.”
Abi fell silent, what Juna said was true as well. Finally Keysha tried to harm Nina because of the persuasion from Aswan.
“This card I keep as proof. Do you mind?”
“Ngga sir, please aja. I keep the card for my actual safety guarantee.”
“You don't have to be afraid of that. Bang Beno's men will take care of you from now on. You better not work in my office. I'll drop you in the workshop of one of my friends. If the real culprit has been caught, then you work in my office.”
“Good sir. I go with aja. Thank you for not reporting me to the police.”
Abi just nodded. Beno takes Panca out of the room. It seemed like there was something important that the three superiors were about to talk about. Abi began to parse one by one the events that happened to him. Through Panca's evidence and testimony he will find out who is behind the accident. One that Abi believed, the man was not far from him. And Ruby is one of the keys to finding that person.
☘️☘️☘️
Aswan's face looked flushed, his hands clenched tightly until his handbooks turned white. His hardened jaw held back the anger that erupted when he saw the black box footage of Vicko's car, his son.
After getting evidence from Panca, Juna immediately invited Abi to meet Aswan. This misunderstanding must end immediately. Juna could not let Aswan continue to hold a grudge against his sister. He was worried that his uncle would act decisively to hurt Abi.
“How about? Do you still blame Abi for the accident that happened to Vicko? Abi is the victim. There are people who try to harm Vicko, with or without Abi chasing them, Vicko will definitely be doomed as well. Because of their target Vicko.”
Aswan said nothing. Although in his heart admitted that it turned out that his accusations had been wrong. But he still has the prestige of admitting his mistake.
“Abi is a victim of the actions of people who tried to harm Vicko. In addition, Abi is also a victim of the betrayal of Fahira and Vicko. He's hurt birth and inner because of Vicko. If other men are cheating Fahira, I don't care about om. But this is Vicko, if I were in Abi's position, maybe I would do the same. In addition to pre-crash footage, there are other footage showing Vicko and Fahira's affair. How Vicko can shamelessly make love to his own cousin's wife,” Juna goes back on his word.
Aswan's face was red, not holding back anger but because of the shame that befell him. Juna also did not hesitate to reveal everything that stuck in his heart. It had been enough for him to hold back all this time seeing Aswan hate Abi so much and blame him for Vicko's death. While Abi just silently watched his brother and uncle talk. He doesn't care about Fahiran and Vicko's affair. All you want to know is the mastermind behind all of this.
“Im sorry, Abi. I'm sorry if I've been wrong to accuse you all this time. On behalf of Vicko, I apologize too. She's been a thorn in your marriage.”
“Already om, I no longer care about their affair. I just don't want to stop bothering my life, and stop hurting Nina, my wife. I know the person who was behind Keysha's actions the other day was om.”
“Sorry Bi, once again om sorry. I promise I won't ruin your life or your wife's. You deserve to be happy after the suffering you have experienced. But om ask for help, help om find the perpetrator who has harmed Vicko.”
“Without asking, I will definitely find it. But for now keep acting as usual. Stay hostile to me and keep your distance as before. We just follow the guy's game. Looks like in the near future, he will be back in action.”
“Om just follow your plan.”
“Alright, then we excuse you, om.”
Juna also stood up after there was nothing more to talk about. Both of them left their private workspace. Aswan's wife, Sinta and his eldest son, Vito looked sharply at Abi. Like Aswan, they also hate Abi a lot. It's the man who caused Vicko's death.
Abi crossed the two without wanting to see or greet him. Only Juna nodded his head slowly as he passed by the two. Aswan followed his two nephews all the way to the porch of the house. At first glance glimpsed hateful views of his son and wife on Abi.
“Abi,” called him when his nephew was going to his car.
Abi stopped his steps and turned his back. He just kept waiting for Aswan who came to him. As soon as he got near Abi, the middle-aged man quickly pulled Abi in his arms.
“Once again forgive me. Sorry also aunt and Vito, they behave like that because om,” Aswan patted the back of his copon.
Abi just fell silent without any intention to return the embrace of the uncle. Sinta Vito also looked up at the sight. Juna looked towards the mother and the child then turned his gaze again towards Aswan who had let go of his embrace.
“I hope, um want to explain the matter that was with aunt Vito as well. As a big brother, I'm honestly deeply offended by the way they look at and treat Abi. And if they still behave the same way after knowing the truth, then don't blame me if I won't consider them family anymore. It's enough they apply arbitrarily all this time.”
“Iya Jun, om will straighten everything.”
“I hope om keeps his promise.”
Juna got in the car immediately. Abi just looked at Juna who looked very emotional. Usually Juna is more silent, but this time either how many times his brother was throwing criticism as well as threats to his uncle. Abi's daydream breaks when Juna honks. He quickly got into the car.
