BERHALA ISLAND
EPISODE 124: PODIN FREE

    Obviously, a policeman in the works must be professional. He was not rash in setting someone arrested and put in jail. The police certainly are not careless to determine someone to be a suspect or to plead guilty. Just as experienced by Podin, who despite being battered by the masses, his face was crumpled and full of wounds, must have also experienced pain that was not rusty. But even though it was considered a thief, the police still had to look for evidence. Yes, the evidence as a justifier that Podin was guilty.

    Certainly the police immediately conducted an investigation, questioned witnesses, and even questioned community leaders, including questioning neighbors, related to Podin, regarding the house to be stolen by Podin. Of course, all of that in order to fulfill the records file in the police.

    But the fact that the neighbors said that the house was indeed Podin's, and the neighbors and residents around it also convinced that in fact Podin did not want to steal. They also apologized, for being mistaken, for capturing Podin, who was thought to be a thief, who was about to break into an abandoned house. But in reality, after anyone knew, it was Podin, the owner of his own house.

    But what can be done, at that time the citizens of the community who have committed acts of violence, judged in time, have admitted wrong, have already pleaded guilty. But the reason was that at that time Podin who entered the house by prying the window and entered through the window, of course for the safety of the environment, surely anyone would catch the movements of suspicious people. And coincidentally, who saw Podin while prying the window, and entered the house by the window, assumed that it was a thief. Especially at that time, indeed who knew that Podin would enter the house through the window was a new person, who certainly did not know with Podin, who did not know who the owner of the house was. And at that time, because it was assumed that Podin was a thief, then immediately the person who saw him immediately shouted the thief. And at that moment, people judged themselves. Yes, many people who immediately arrived and immediately gang up on Podin, beating, kicking, and even dragging Podin. And of course, when the face of Podin was bruised, his face was not visible if it was Podin, then the other residents, who actually knew with Podin, at that time did not recognize him anymore. They also believe that the people who were judged at that time were thieves. So they also went along to beat up their own neighbors, because at that time they did not recognize the face of Podin.

    That morning, police officers from Karawang Police Station along with babinkamtibmas in the village where Podin lives, came to the house of Podin, the house that was set up as evidence of a crime. Of course, they will ask for information related to the arrest of the person accused of being a thief, namely Podin.

    "Good morning, Mr .... May I ask, who owns this house exactly who? Which case yesterday will there be a theft here?" ask the police officer who is certainly looking for truth information reports.

    "Oh .., that's Mr. Podin's house ..." replied one of the residents who happened to be met by the police officer.

    "Where is Pak Podin now?" ask the police officer.

    "Lah, who was arrested yesterday it .... Which yesterday was crowded by the time ..." replied the man, who of course he immediately said that Podin was the one who was accused of theft and arrested, and had been taken by the police.

    Some people, neighbors who saw someone else being questioned by the police, then they came to the road in front of the house of Podin. They also want to know what is being talked about. At least they want to know also about the state of Podin. So in an instant, the road in front of the house Podin was already crowded, there were many people on the two police officers who asked for information there.

    "You can ...? Cook who owns the house accused of burglar ...?!" the police said.

    "Yes yesterday was wrong, sir .... Mr. Podin was about to enter the house, but by jumping the window .... There are people who know that, thought Mr. Podin was a thief. That is why the man immediately shouted at the top, shouted the thieves. People were coming straight at us, without seeing who was accused of the thief, people were beating the thief" the man explained his case yesterday.

    "Walah ..., this how is ...?! Bener it ...?!" ask the police to the man.

    "Yes, Sir .... I know for myself, because before, Bang Podin was already chatting with me .... After I left to go to the market, Bang Podin was even transported by a police car." said the woman who knew exactly that the victim was Podin.

    "That, loh .... The car is still parked there."

    "Yes, right .... That's Mr. Podin's car."

    "Nobody holding back?" ask the police officer.

    "Yesterday we were screaming .... But the car carrying Mr. Podin was directly bablas .... Yes ..." said the man there. Of course yesterday also moaned Podin.

    "Yes ..., yes ...!!"

    "Yes, Mr ..."

    "Yes .., really, sir. That's right ..., that's Mr. Podin ..."

    Some people were swarming there, who came to the front of the house, which of course was also curious about the arrival of the two policemen.

    "Well, why was yesterday debited ...?" ask the police again.

    "Yes ..., usual, sir .... Once there was a shout of propulsion, of course people immediately went berserk .... Emotions, sir ..." replied the people.

    "Yes, Sir .... Yesterday, we asked, on not knowing the face of Mr. Pudin .... Well, since his face has changed, it's already on the bonyok .... Already on bruises, charred and blue-blue .... Until we recognize him no more. He thought it was a real thief." obviously the others.

    "Think of someone else, sir .... It's just that ...."

    "Yes, Sir .... If you don't believe it, ask the people here. We also regretted yesterday after anyone found out that it was Mr. Podin" said another.

    "That's right, it's the one who got arrested who owns this house?" ask the police officer.

    "Yes, Sir .... Let go ...!" yell at the people who are there.

    "But someone has to sign the release file. Who's the autographed one?" said police officer.

    "Siap ..." said the head of RT and RW who was there as well.

    Finally, that afternoon, some villagers, along with Mr. RT and Mr. RW, came to the police station. They will provide autographs, news of the event for the release of Podin from the charge of theft, the release of Podin from police custody.

    "Where is Bang Podin ...?" ask the people who came to the police station.

    "There is a prison .." replied one of the police officers.

    "Wadm .... Poor Mr. Podin ...."

    "Yes .... Bang Podin is a prisoner."

    "Later we must apologize ...."

    "Yes .... It's our fault."

    "Bang Podin is also wrong .... Why should the window jump ...."

    "Rpa .... When was Pak Podin expelled?" ask one of the people who participated to ask the police officer.

    "Yes, briefly .... Let Mr. RT and Mr. RW sign the news of the release event first ..." replied the officer.

    "People's Pity, Mr. Podin ...."

    "Definitely in prison, Bang Podin was treated as another prisoner."

    "Yes .... Mr. Podin was quiet. Poor him."

    "Exactly outside, sir .... Poor Bang Podin." shouted those who certainly could not wait to see Podin.

    "Yes .." The police officer took the key and went back, heading to the prison room.

    "Come with .... We'll pick up Mr. Podin" said one of his neighbors.

    "Yes .... Let's get him in jail ...."

    "No need .... Just wait here .... Later Mr. Podin will bring me here" said the police officer who tried to calm the neighbors of Podin.

    But of course, the people who came to pick up Podin, can't wait to see Podin. Want to know the state of Podin. And of course, they came in, followed the police who would open the prison door. Although tried to be detained by other officers, but because of the large number, of course the officer was unable to prevent it.

    And they, watching Podin, are so visibly suffering behind prison bars.

    "Bang Podin ...."

    "Sir Podin ...."

    "Wow, Mr. Podin .... We're sorry ...."

    "Yes, Mr. Podin .... We were wrong ...."

    "I'm sorry, Mr. Podin ...."

    The police officer finally took Podin out of the prison. And surely the people who picked him up went straight to. Some even hugged. And certainly apologizing. They took Podin out of jail.

    Subsequently, Podin was taken to the Puskesmas, for treatment.
