Abi grasped tightly the cutter blade in his hand, slowly he aimed the blade at his wrist. Everyone who was there held their breath, Jojo was no exception.
“STOP!!!”
Nina slid towards Abi and then grabbed the knife from her husband's hand and threw it away. He stood his back to Abi, his eyes staring fiercely at Jojo.
“It wasn't Abi who raped Anka.”
“You still defended him Nin?”
“Of course, he is my husband. I brought you proof that it wasn't Abi who did it. Open your ears wide!”
Nina played the recording of the voice she had just heard. He raised the volume to the highest position. A few seconds later, Anka's voice was heard.
Jojo.. If you hear this voice recording, it means I'm no longer in this world. I'm sorry Jo (heard Anka crying). Forgive me for leaving you first.I'm sorry for lying to you... (Well, back to crying). It wasn't Abi who raped me, I was forced to lie for your safety. He threatened me to kill you if I told him the truth.
Jojo's hands drooped hearing it. Rayi immediately broke away from Jojo's grip and then rushed towards Anfa. The girl was crying in the arms of her lover.
I'm sorry it took so long for you to know all the truth. I have to make sure you're really ready when you find out the truth. I don't want you to get hurt and my sacrifice to be in vain. Please give him the punishment he deserves. I've prepared hard evidence to drag him to jail.
“Anka!!” jojo shouted, the man fell to his knees. His cry broke, Cakra immediately approached his best friend.
You remember Jo, when I said I wanted to be a director, you bought me a movie camera, so I could practice making movies. I didn't think the first lead I made was myself (Anka back sobbing). I want to record the atmosphere at night in a long-empty friend's house. It is said that there are often sightings of delicate creatures at night. When I just finished turning on the camera, he suddenly came and did the lecherous deed to me. He took away my chastity, destroyed my world.
“Aaaaaaggghhhh!!”
Jojo screamed loudly accompanied by his cries. Cakra tightly embraced this friend of his. His eyes also glazed over to hear Anka's speech. Abi hugged Nina tightly, as much as possible she held back the anger as well as the yelling sadness inside her chest.
I never thought, Papa Ronald, the man I respected and loved as much as my own father could destroy me. Even after that day he continued to do it to me forcibly. He also said he wanted to have a child with me. I hate him Jo, I hate him so much. He threatened to hurt and kill you if I told you. She asked me to slander Abi (anka's crying voice sounded so heartbreaking).
“Buck men!!” rutuk Abi's.
Juna tightly gripped the arm of the sister who looked so emotional. Nina wiped away her tears, she had not listened to the entire contents of Anka's recording. As a woman, she felt very well how devastated Anka felt and lived at that time.
I'm asking you Jo, give him the punishment he deserves. Don't let him live quietly after what he did to me.
“I'll kill him An! I'll kill him!!”
Again, I'm sorry Jo. I'm not strong enough to face everything alone. I'm just a coward who ran away from reality, and made suicide his way out. I hope you live your life well. I'm sorry I destroyed your world. The night I lied to you, I saw such a big wound in your eye. And I hurt you, made you hate your own best friend. I'm sorry to say sorry to Abi and thank you for saving me. I don't regret loving a man as well as him. Even when this life leaves the body, I still love it. Take care of yourself, Jo, I love you.
Anka's voice recording stopped. Everything is in its place. Jojo sat on the floor with his head down. Cakra was still faithfully beside him. Suddenly Jojo stood up, wiped the tears violently and approached Nina. He unplugged the usb from the tablet.
“Where is the video cassette?” pinta Jojo's. Nina reached into her pocket blouse and then gave a small cassette wrapped in a clear box.
“Jo..lo where are you going?” ask Abi.
“Gue should see bajing*n it.”
“Jo.. calm down first.”
“GUE MUST MEET THAT BAGJING*N NOW!!!”
“Gue tagged.”
Jojo ignored Abi's words, he hurried away. Abi who was about to follow was restrained by Nina's hand movements that gripped her arm.
“Mas..” Abi turned to Nina, surprised to see her face suddenly pale.
“Why you baby?”
“My stomach hurts.”
“Bi.. You take care of Nina, let me share the Cakra that Jojo.” follows
Juna and Cakra rush after Jojo who has gone first with his men. Abi catches Nina's body, which is about to fall. His wife carried his body and rushed down the stairs.
☘️☘️☘️
Cakra looked softly at his friend who was being closed. Thanks to Juna's persuasion, Jojo wants to return to the apartment after a tense incident on the roof of the building. But he went back on a rampage after seeing video footage of Anka's rape. Juna calls his family's personal doctor to calm Jojo down.
After getting a sedative injection, Jojo fell asleep. Cakra asked Juna to come home because Nadia had not stopped contacting him. He also did not tell Abi about Jojo's condition, because his best friend was waiting for Nina in the hospital.
Jojo opened his eyes that felt heavy. He faintly saw Cakra sleeping with a position sitting on the sofa while leaning his head to the head of the sofa. Jojo forced himself to get up and sat leaning against the headboard of the bed. He took the pillow and threw it towards Cakra. Cakra is awake from his sleep.
“Bangke lo, disrupt my sleep aja.”
“Ngapain lo sleep here? Not home.”
“Tar lo cry bombay again if I stay. Fear your neighbors are disturbed by the sound of crying lo that looks like a cat clamp.”
“Campret!!”
Chakra chuckled, he got up and headed for the kitchen. The time has shown at four o'clock, there is no intention to continue sleeping again. The man made two cups of coffee.
Smelling the aroma of coffee, Jojo approaches Cakra in the kitchen. Two cups of black coffee are already available on the dining table. Cakra took the pizza from inside the refrigerator he ordered last night, then warmed it up in the microwave. It didn't take long, the pizza was ready.
Cakra pulls the chair next to Jojo. The two began to enjoy a breakfast more like sahur. Jojo glanced at Cakra who was enjoying his pizza. He looked relaxed, like there had never been any tension between them before. To be honest, Jojo really misses moments like this with his two best friends.
“Cak... According to you, Abi would forgive me? I ruined his life.”
“Fire for sure Jo, but I believe Abi is big-spirited. He'll definitely apologize elo. He also knows that life has not been easy. Just don't bother Nina anymore.”
Jojo chuckled, stuffed a slice of pizza into his mouth. Considering Nina, Jojo is ashamed of herself. How obsessed he was to have that woman.
“Yes no, besides Nina also does not want to be with me. I'm grateful Abi got a girl like Nina.”
“What do you want to do now Jo?”
“Gue just got a message that bajing*n was coming here today. I want to hear from his own mouth what he has done to Anka.”
“Jo.. thanks yes, yesterday you survived Sekar.”
“Darling my men lost track of that man.”
“Gue already got that guy.”
“Oh yes? Who?”
“He's just a man. Bokap lo who told the man to diselakain Sekar.”
“What?!!”
Jojo's jaw hardened, his hands clenched tightly. Again he gets a shocking reality about his stepfather. The father he has always respected and loved with all his heart.
“The accident that befell Fahira was also planned.”
“Vicko's car brakes were deliberately tampered with. But we don't know who did it yet.”
“What is possible bokap too?”
“Ngga also know Jo. But is there a problem with Vicko and Fahira?”
Jojo just shrugged his shoulders. It felt like he wanted to meet Ronald immediately, to ask him questions that kept spinning in his head.
☘️☘️☘️
At nine in the morning, Ronald arrives at Jojo's apartment. He was surprised to find Cakra there too. Jojo was not related to Cakra and Abi after he applied the tactic of devide et impera to the triumvirate.
“How are you doing om?” Cakra shook Ronald's hand.
“Good. How are you doing?”
“Alhamdulillah good om. Soon I want to get married, come and see,” Cakra mince words, Jojo just grunt looking at the behavior of his best friend.
“Sana go home, feel at home here,” expel Jojo.
“You sure you don't want me to go to Temenin?”
“I'm stooled elo. Back there.”
Jojo kicks Cakra's ass out of the apartment and closes the door. Ronald just chuckled at the behavior of the two people. He sat his ass on the couch. Jojo looked at the 55-year-old with a chest full of anger. But as much as possible he was calm.
“Papa so want to go to Anka's grave?”
“So dong.”
“I change clothes first pa. Oh yeah, I got an offer from B&G Company. Try papa first see their company profile.”
Jojo turns on the television with the remote in his hand then connects the usb to the flat screen. Ronald's rape video on Anka has been moved to USB. He and Cakra were deliberately putting together this plan.
Jojo left Ronald in the living room. He stood by the door of his room waiting for the moment the man saw his own depraved behavior. Ronald took a serious look at the flat screen in front of him. He has been working with B&G Company for a long time. The film begins by showing a countdown of a row of numbers.
Ronald's forehead crinkled to see the impressions in front of him showing a picture of a room that looks familiar. Ronald's heart seemed to jump out when the next scene shows him forcing Anka to fulfill his lust. His face immediately turned pale.
Jojo directs the remote to the television and turns it off. He couldn't bear to look back at his stepfather's depraved deeds to his twin brother. Ronald looked back. Jojo looked at him with a look of anger and hatred.
“How does pa feel? How does it feel to taste your own stepson's body?” jojo's hands clenched tightly as he said so.
Ronald stood up from his seat and rushed over to Jojo. Unexpectedly, the man sat down in front of Jojo.
“I'm sorry papa Jo. Forgive papa.”
“Why pa? WHY?!!”
“Papa loves Anka.”
“Aaaagggghhh.”.
Jojo clenched his hand and swung it towards Ronald. But Jojo's hand just hangs in the air, then he vents it by hitting the wall behind him. However, Ronald is the one who raised him after his biological father died.
“Impard papa. Papa khilaf's. A year after your mother's departure, papa was lonely. Seeing Anka who is similar to your mama, evokes another feeling in your heart. Papa is in love with Anka. That day papa khilaf forced her to have sex. After that papa gets greedy, papa keeps wanting to touch him even wants to have a child from him.”
“Then why is papa slandering Abi?”
“Abi is smart also clever, he will easily know that papa who has raped Anka.”
“Because that papa defamed him? Break up my friendship with him? Making me misunderstand and fall into a grudge?
“Impard papa. All papa did because papa was afraid of losing you. Papa's afraid you're leaving papa. Papa loves you very much Jo, also Anka.”
“If papa loves me and Anka, papa won't do that!!!”
Jojo shouted loudly venting out all the emotions that were stirring in the chest. His hand smashed the items that were nearby. Ronald was still sitting on the floor. Not caring about the broken vase and glass that hit his body. If Jojo kills him now, he's resigned. There have been many mistakes he made with the boy. The child he loved so much was like his own flesh and blood.
“Then why did papa harm Sekar? What to create a new misunderstanding between us?”
“Sorry..”
“What papa has also told people to break Vicko's car brakes?”
“Sorry..”
Jojo squeezes her hair tight. He really doesn't believe in any of this. Ronald, a man who was always gentle and loving turned out to be a cunning man. Jojo really did not recognize the man who was sitting together.
“Why pa? Why did you kill Fahira and Vicko?”
“Fahira, the woman knows what papa did to Anka. When papa was drunk, he unconsciously told Anka what he had done and he recorded it. He threatened and blackmailed papa. Besides, he betrayed you. He played with your love. Papa once offered him some money on the condition that he would sleep with papa. And he did. Unable to be constantly threatened by him, papa finally chose to get rid of him. Vicko, he's just an extra victim.”
Jojo is increasingly stunned to hear Ronlad's confession. His head was like a big godam. The truth about Ronald, the reality about Fahira, all swirled around in his head. With slow steps Jojo walked towards the door. The opening of the door then allowed the police who Cakra had contacted to enter.
“Please catch the guy sir. Take all the evidence as well. Make sure he's in jail for the rest of his life.”
Two uniformed policemen walked in and handcuffed Ronald's hands. Two other people immediately secured the evidence. Ronald is led out of the apartment unit. While crossing Jojo, the man stopped for a moment.
“I'm sorry papa, Jo. Again forgive papa. Take good care of yourself, papa loves you very much.”
Jojo turned his face the other way. I couldn't stand the feeling of being with that guy. The two officers who arrested Ronald, immediately took him away. Ronald continued to look at Jojo, hoping that his son would look at him one last time. Her tears fell down her cheeks which started to look wrinkled.
After Ronald died, Jojo fell on the floor. The crying broke again. He should be relieved to see that the man who had raped Anka and was the cause of her suicide had been caught by the police. But it was precisely the feeling of tightness that reached his heart. Undeniably the affection for Ronald still dominates his heart.
Jojo stood up and walked to the elevator. His hand pressed the number 20 button. Before long the elevator moved to bring itself to the highest floor in this building. Jojo exits the elevator then steps up the stairs that will take him to the rooftop.
Jojo continued walking closer to the edge of the rooftop. Slowly his feet climbed the rooftop barrier which was only as high as a calf. Jojo was standing on the rooftop barrier, his eyes looking straight ahead.
“An.. I caught the man. He will rot in prison until the end of his life. I'm sorry I couldn't be a good brother to you. I let you go through all the suffering that that man caused alone. But you can rest in peace now. An.. wait for me, I'll catch up with you.”
Jojo closed his eyes as he spread out his hands. Her face smiled imagining Anka waiting for her. Slowly Jojo leaned his body down, he prepared to drop himself.
