HATRED
No Need to Wait for Me Again

An elderly woman was crying hysterically in a hospital room lamenting the corpse of her granddaughter in front of her.

The scenery that will make everyone slice to see it is no exception Sandra. Although there have been dozens of murder cases that he handled, despite dozens of similar events that he saw, still did not make his heart become immune.

Sandra approached the middle-aged man who had come with the old woman.

"Can we talk outside sir?" The man nodded and followed Sandra out of the room leaving the grandmother still sobbing hugging the corpse of her grandson.

"Brother is the victim?" ask Sandra.

"I'm a neighbor of the Buk."

"Is there no family other than her grandmother?"

"If I don't have a Buk, they just live together. His parents have been dead since he was a child."

"What father's name?"

"I'm Ali Buk."

"Can Mr Ali tell me how the victim's daily life has been?"

"He's a very good boy Buk, likes to help others. All this time he worked to support his grandmother," explained Ali.

"Where does he work?"

"In the restaurant Kereta Kencana Buk."

"What time does he usually go and go home?"

"When I go he's a little bit of lunch, because the restaurant just opened at lunch time but if he doesn't know me, maybe his grandmother knows."

Sandra saw the victim's grandmother still sobbing. For now it seems impossible to ask for information from the old woman.

"Did you feel there was something strange about the victim the last few days before this happened?"

Ali seemed to remember for a moment and then said, "When I don't have a Buk, he stays cheerful as always."

"That's it," Sandra murmured.

"Sorry Buk, what really happened to Citra?" ask Ali.

"Sorry sir, for now I can't say anything before the case is completely clear."

"Alright, I understand," said Ali. "Then can we bring the body home?"

"Father can take him home, please be buried well sir."

"Both Buk."

"Maybe I'll see you again to ask for more information."

"Yes, I'm ready to help whenever needed."

After removing the victim with an ambulance, Sandra rushed back to the office. She opened an envelope she received from the hospital this morning.

"Tok tock."

A knock came from the door of his room. There stood a man who was none other than Heru.

"Want lunch together?" ask Heru.

"No," answered Sandra who was busy with the papers in her grasp.

"So what's the result?"

"His name is Citra, as a result of an alcohol overdose death and there are signs of sexual violence on his body" Sandra said without looking at Heru. "Baj*ng*n this, I'll send it to the gallows."

He looked at Sandra. If this was the case, he would not stop before finding the culprit.

Sandra got up from her seat and hurried to leave her room.

"Where," asked Heru.

"His workplace" Sandra replied.

Sandra drove her car to the Kencana Train restaurant. After entering the restaurant, he met a short-bodied and fat man who was the owner of the restaurant. The man was very surprised to hear about the death of Citra.

"How did he die?"

"I can't tell you the cause of his death, which is clear I need permission to ask for information on everyone who works here."

The man was still seen in shock with the news that Sandra delivered.

"May I know the name of the Father?"

"Dani Anggoro."

"Sir Dani, did the victim enter work yesterday?"

"No, he didn't go to work yesterday."

"Do you know why he didn't go to work?"

"She called me and asked permission not to go to work because she wasn't feeling well."

"Can you tell me how the victim behaved while working here?"

"He's a very good and diligent boy. The customers liked it a lot because of the hospitality" Dani explained.

"Did you see the strangeness of the victim lately?"

"No ma'am, she's the same as always."

"All right," said Sandra. "In that case, may I ask for information from your officers?"

"Sure, sure."

Sandra asked for information from employees who worked at the restaurant. And they all said that Citra did not enter work yesterday and her behavior is nothing strange lately.

* * *

Starting at night, Sandra drove her car to the Citra residence. He wanted to ask Citra's grandmother for information, he hoped Citra's grandmother had calmed down a little now.

The door of the house was not closed, seen Citra's grandmother sitting on a mat inside the house accompanied by a mother and Ali who had taken Citra's grandmother to the hospital.

Ali hurried to welcome Sandra when she saw him. "Please enter the Buk."

Sandra followed Ali into the small house.

"Talk Buk, this is my wife" Ali said, pointing to the woman sitting next to Citra's grandmother.

"I'm Ratih Buk" said the woman standing up and shaking Sandra's hand.

"I'm Sandra Ma'am."

Sandra sat before Citra's grandmother who looked limp. It seemed like his power was exhausted from crying over the fate of his poor grandson.

"Sorry Grandma, I need to ask Grandma a few things. Can Grandma help?" sandra asked and answered a nod by Citra's grandmother.

"Did Citra go to work yesterday?"

"Yes," Citra's grandmother replied in a weak voice.

Sandra was silent for a moment. The victim's co-workers said the victim didn't go to work yesterday, but her grandmother said she went to work. That means the victim lied to her grandmother and went somewhere or maybe someone kidnapped her when she was about to go to work.

"Is there something strange lately that grandma feels about Citra's attitude?"

"No Buk, nothing strange he's a good boy."

"Did Citra ever complain something might be about her job or something else?" continued Sandra.

"Not Buk, never. He was a child who never complained, even though his life was difficult all this time he never complained." explained Citra's grandmother with a blank look at the wall of her house.

"What time does Citra usually go home from work?"

"Hour 10 more."

"Hasn't Grandma been sleeping at that hour?"

"Not Buk, I can't sleep before Citra comes home. I'm worried if anything happens to her." Grandma Citra wiped her tears and continued, "She always brought me food when she came home, knowing I had not slept. She said, "Other times Grandma doesn't have to wait for me anymore, I'm fine."."

The atmosphere was silent for a moment when the old woman again sobbed in memory of her granddaughter.

Moments later, Sandra resumed her question, "Did Citra never go home before?"

"Never Buk, he always comes home because I'm home alone."

"Did Citra have a boyfriend?"

"Not having a Buk."

Sandra looked at Ali and said, "Is it right sir?"

"It looks like he is, isn't he Buk?" ali asked his wife.

"She, I never saw him bring a man here. I asked him if he had a girlfriend. He said he didn't want to think about dating, he just wanted to be happy with his grandmother" said Ratih.

"Yet your fate Nak Nak," Suddenly Citra's grandmother cried hysterically while banging on the floor, "from childhood left dead your parents and now have to go like this, hu hu hu hu hu."

"What sin, what sin!" his yell.

Ratih and Ali tried to calm Citra's grandmother who was crying sobbing.

Sandra just silently looked at the scene before her, her heart was really pity to see the old woman who was crying bitterly before her. Although he never felt it, but he knew exactly what Citra's grandmother felt now. The pain of losing the only family member he had.

"Father can take care of Grandma Citra right?" ask Sandra to Ali before leaving.

"Of course Buk, we've taken it like our own parents." Sandra nodded and left the house.

Sandra walked down the alley to her car.

"Mom" someone called out to him from behind. Sandra turned her head and saw a young woman approaching her. Sandra remembered she was Citra's co-worker at the restaurant that she had questioned earlier.

"You're Citra's co-worker, right?" ask Sandra.

"True Ma'am, I'm Yuni."

"Yes Yuni" said Sandra nodding. "What's wrong?"

"I wanted to tell Mom something, I couldn't say it at the restaurant" Yuni said.

"What about?"

"Actually yesterday when Citra did not enter work, I had called her. He said he told Mr. Dani to go somewhere, so he's not going to the restaurant" Yuni said.

"Well, where were you told?"

"I didn't ask Mom, I said yes."

"Can you be a witness to this case, maybe I'll arrest Mr Dani?"

"Buuuu, I don't dare," Yuni said frantically. "I need this job, I don't want to be fired. I also have a family I have to take care of."

"All right," said Sandra. "Do you think it's possible that Mr. Dani has always liked the victim?"

"I don't know then, Mom. But as far as I know, Mr. Dani is not that kind of person. He is a responsible person and loves his family very much. His attitude with Citra was natural-just like a boss and subordinate," explained Yuni.

"Then was Mr Dani in the restaurant yesterday?" ask Sandra again.

"He has a Mom."

"Did he leave the restaurant for a minute?"

"No ma'am, she never left the restaurant, she was there until the restaurant closed."

"You sure?"

"She's Mom, because she's always watching us at work so I know she's not going anywhere."

"What time did the restaurant close yesterday?"

"As usual, we're closing at 10 p.m."

Sandra was silent for a moment, the victim was found at 12:30 p.m. And it is estimated that the victim had died four hours earlier which means the victim died around 8 o'clock. If Dani didn't leave the restaurant yesterday and came home at 10, it's not him who killed the victim. But he told the victim to go somewhere. Where did the victim go?
