It will never be again.
I'm shaking. I really do not doubt the Inspiration. I'm just tired, how are things getting worse out there?
"I. I trust you, Mas. I trust. Now tell me, how could there be such gossip?"
Mas Ilham took a deep breath. "Are you ready to hear it?"
I'm nodding. "Yes" I said. "Please tell me."
And my eyes glazed over again. With a faint heart, I also listened.
"The car that hit us was successfully tracked based on the testimony of several witnesses. But. The culprit can't be introgated. Because, the man tried to escape when he wanted to be arrested by the police, but fateful, he experienced the same thing. He was hit by a car as police chased him. So, he can't be questioned. And the only piece of evidence that gives an advanced explanation - it's through his cell phone. But there was no message on his phone. There is only a log of outgoing call activity going to one number. And after checking, the number is registered in the name... Zobran."
Huh huh?
My head is getting bigger. I refused, I denied. "I can't believe it, Mom" I said. "That means Puspita was accused of cooperating with that man to run us over? That's not possible."
"Waallahu'alam, Zahra."
"Continue?"
"It's just an early prejudice."
"Yes. But it's not necessarily. Where knows they just know each other, call each other, not necessarily-"
Mas Ilham nodded, then put his fingers on my lips. "I know, that's not necessarily." Then Mas Ilham pulled out his phone, and, showing a photo of a long-haired man with a copper-colored skin. "You know this guy? This is the culprit who hit us."
I don't know, that's why I'm shaking.
"If the investigation of this case continues, it will certainly expand everywhere, and only on the basis of presumption of innocence, even though the evidence is not strong. It could have been an accident, though it seems intentional. But, if there is a deliberate factor, many parties will be involved and suspected, either from my past, or from your past, even from the side of Puspanya. For example, sorry, not that I'm accusing. This is just for example, if someone likes Puspita, and the person misunderstands, he thinks Puspita is nothing with me, then he tells people to harm me."
"Is this her ex-husband's job?" muttered.
"Yes, it could be, Mom. And if it's just a call in and out of someone's phone, it's not necessarily evidence that he's communicating with the perpetrator to plan the tragic accident."
Mas Ilham put back his phone, then said, "Yes, I agree. But the data is really puspita data, the NIK KTP data is the same. It could also mean that there are people who prepare this plan carefully."
"I get. But it's hard to believe, Mom. For I have known Puspita well for many years. There was no way he could do that. She's a good girl."
Well, I finally understand how the rumor can be triggered. Puspita considered reckless to tell the mercenaries to hit us because of heartache against us? Because he was impregnated by Mas Ilham and Mas Ilham did not want to take responsibility? Or just to get rid of me plus to pave the way so that he can be with Mas Ilham?
I think that is the opinion that is being led by someone behind the scenes to the community, including to us as victims. Really, how cruel it would be if it were that way. Not only to finish my life and Mas Ilham, but he also slandered Puspita by misusing Puspita's personal data.
So still, I can't be that easy to believe. It was impossible for Puspita to think so short. I know him well.
"Where did this rumor come from? Who's root? Yunita?"
Inspiration nodded again. "It seems he knew that Puspita had been to our house repeatedly that night. And it was used to accuse me. It might be so."
"But Puspita is not under arrest, right? I mean, at least not yet, isn't the evidence strong, is it?"
Mas Ilham shook his head. "No," he said. "He's not under arrest."
And I breathe a sigh of relief. I'm not a good pretender, but I'm sure with my heart that Puspita is innocent. In my opinion, he was just scapegoated. Besides I can't bear to see her locked up, she's pregnant. And I know what pregnancy feels like in the first months. I don't want him to go to jail unless he's already proven guilty.
Oh my God, the mystery of this tragic accident seems to have been carried into the afterlife by the culprit. As if there was no way anymore.
"But the most important thing is that you trust me completely. That's enough" said Mas Ilham again.
Is correct. And I slammed into Mas Ilham's arms. On the floor of the room, I braced myself, he was my husband, and I trusted him with complete trust.
Let the mystery of the accident hang. Origin is not our love that hangs, origin is not trust between us.
Zahra will always be together. For ever, until death will separate us.
