Handsome Detective
The Part 124
" Sera_.." said Arvan hesitantly.
" What really happened to Sera, sis...?" cecar Erina's.
" She was sexually assaulted. Sera was about two weeks pregnant." replied Arvan, staring fixedly at his wife.
" No way, how could this happen...?" peekkik Erina's.
" Look down, baby, you can't be like this..."
Arvan hugged Erina who was crying hysterically. As with Adam, he immediately sat limp on the floor. He tried hard but his heart hurt so much.
" All right, we better get back to Headquarters. Arvan, you take care of both of them. I will take care of the work in the company." William said.
" Good, brother..."
Arvan takes Erina and Adam to Headquarters, while William goes to the office to take care of the work until Erina is ready to work.
" Dear, you want to eat first, okay...?" persuade Arvan.
" No, sis. Erin isn't hungry yet." refused Erina.
" You're not hungry, but our child needs nutrition. If it's time to eat, you have to keep eating." said Erina.
" Right, Rin. You have to eat for the health of the child in your womb." - Adam.
" All right, but I'm gonna have a steak and a salad..."
" Okay, would you like to go to the restaurant or just deliver...?"
" Delivery alone, again lazy down..."
Adam immediately ordered food at his restaurant. It didn't take long, the orders came a few minutes after they reached Headquarters.
" You eat first, I'm not hungry yet" said Adam as he walked into William's study.
" Adam, eat first. You'll be sick later." said Erina.
" I want to be alone for a moment." said Adam flatly.
Adam opened the autopsy report Sera with tears that were unstoppable again. Adam was very surprised because there was no act of violence in Sera's body except the core area and his two hands were firmly gripped.
Sera died of severe bleeding from forced intercourse while pregnant.
" Sera, is it possible that he did it...?" inner Adam.
Adam suspected someone but he had no evidence. Adam doesn't know where to look for evidence to uncover Sera's case.

" Mister Arvan, Erina, I have to go somewhere. Don't wait, I'll go straight to the apartment." said Adam.
" Adam, you can't go alone." said Erina.
" I just want to find some quiet moment, Erin..."
" hmm...!" Arvan prevents Adam's departure.
" Sir_..."
" I know your purpose, don't act rashly...!"
Adam momentarily fell silent and closed his eyes then looked at Arvan.
" Mister, this is all I can do for Sera, let me go..."
" No, we're gonna finish this together. You should also think about Erina, she can also be as determined as you if we don't take care of her." said Arvan.
" What should I do now, sir. I'm sure he's the culprit." - Adam.
Erina approached Adam and clasped tightly onto the man's burly hand. He stared at his face with sadness.
" Adam, tell me.. Who is that man...?" cecar Erina's.
" I don't know for sure, Rin. You better focus on the office, I'll find the culprit..."
" But, Dam_..."
" I don't like to be debunked, so you better go home and get ready for Sera's funeral later that afternoon..."
" Dear, you go home first, right...? Brother had a little business with Adam. Later in the afternoon I picked him up at Sera's funeral." persuaded Arvan.
" Where are you going...?"
" It doesn't matter, Adam needs a friend now, please understand the situation now..."
" Well, but hurry home...?"
" Yes, baby..."
Arvan kissed his wife's forehead briefly and hugged her tightly. Actually Arvan does not want his wife to go home alone, but there are more important matters that he must immediately work on.
Arvan escorted Erina to get into the car and told her bodyguards to take good care of her wife.
In the car, Erina again cried considering her best friend who went one by one. Not long ago Samuel left, now followed by Sera who left him suddenly.
" Why are you leaving so fast, I love you both so much. Even though I know you betrayed me, yet your kindness will never be wiped out.." Erina cried herself in tears.
" Miss, you're okay...?" ask guards.
" Yes, I'm fine. You guys stay on guard in the main house, there's no need to go back to Headquarters...!" Erina's orders.
" Ready, Miss..."
Arriving home, Erina went straight into the room because Raka was in the flower shop with her grandmother.
" The house feels very quiet, I must have come to the store." murmured Erina.
Erina lay her body on the bed to rest for a while before Sera's funeral began. Arvan did not allow him to accompany Sera in the hospital for fear of fatigue and adverse effects on her fetus.

" Sir, I will check into the hotel again to determine who Sera met at that time. It must have something to do with that guy." said Adam.
" Tomorrow or tonight, now we focus on taking care of Sera's body. You sure you don't know where Sera's family is...?" ask Arvan.
" No, Mister. Sera no longer wants to know her parents since they separated. Just like me, he also capitalized on coming to this country to complain about his fate. The difference is, I can study through the scholarship track from Indonesia while Sera works hard here to be able to study..."
" It's possible that he still keeps photos or addresses in his country. We need to find her data in the apartment..."
" Okay, we'll just go after the funeral. I hope there's a family that still cares about her..."
Arvan and Adam go to the hospital to accompany Sera as her family representative. The poor girl was very pitiful, even in her last moments no family led her to the Creator.
Adam felt very heavy to move his legs when he arrived at the hospital parking lot. She did not want to cry in front of Sera, she was determined to be strong and would not cry anymore.
" Come, everyone is waiting." said Arvan.
Unlike usual who was always hostile, this time Arvan felt compassion for the man with him. Usually they argue with each other for trivial things. Arvan misses times like that. He preferred Adam who often asked him to fight.
" Yes, sir." replied Adam flatly.
The bodyguards were already waiting for them in front of the mortuary. Arvan and Adam immediately enter to see Sera one last time.
" May you find peace there." said Arvan staring at Sera's body.
" Sera, until any moment I will never forget you. You are the best friend to me and Erina. Be happy in an eternal place. I will always pray for the best for you and promise to catch the one who has left you.." Again Adam was unable to hold back his tears.
" I'll let him go, I'm sure he's happy there because of the affection of his friends." said Arvan.
Arvan embraces Adam's shoulder to provide calmness so as not to dissolve in sadness. After that, Sera's body was taken directly to the cemetery to be buried that afternoon.
Arvan contacted Erina to come straight to the funeral with her parents because it turns out Adam is not strong if you have to accompany Sera's body alone.
Meanwhile at the office, William also reported Sera's death to all employees in the office and they were all sent home sooner so that close friends of Sera could attend the funeral ceremony held this afternoon.
