74. Miss Exactly
...74. Miss Exactly...
Danang
The sound of the door being knocked. Then came Rendra and someone behind him. He was still sitting in his chair staring at the computer screen with his fingers busy pressing the keyboard keys without turning his head at Rendra.
“Pak, Aldi's lawyer has arrived. Please, Bu.” Rendra invited the woman to sit on the sofa. Then Rendra came out.
He who heard Rendra talking to the lawyer looked up. He thinks Aldi's lawyer is male, because Rendra didn't say anything before.
Then his eyes caught a woman who was still standing by the time Rendra had already stepped out.
The woman commented a smile on him, “Hai, Bang how are you?” The lady greeting walked elegantly closer while extending her hand.
“Sorry disrupt time Brother ...” Get that woman.
He got up from his seat and stepped around his desk to greet the woman's hand.
“Abang forgot?” Ask the woman.
It cringes. Because he was still trying to remember the figure in front of him. He met a lot of people. Men and women of all ages. But if the female lawyer is young it seems ....
“Friends college first,” the woman gave clue. “One TA guidance with Prof. Suteja”
Pause for a moment.
“Pra dip ta,” the answer is doubtful.
“Exactly.” The woman who works as a lawyer smiled.
“Please sit,” he invites Pradipta to sit on the sofa.
“Have not seen each other for a long time. It may be 6-7 years.” Tukas Pradipta as he socked his body on the sofa.
The woman who works as a lawyer is one of her college friends while studying law at one of the universities of West Sumatra. Not much memory is captured. Because he took a break in college on the sidelines of his business. Interaction with women is limited.
“So after graduation you continue your studies in Jakarta and take the profession of advocate?” The question then concludes. After the woman told me a little about herself.
“Exactly,”
“Kalo How are you? Continue to college? Or maybe you are a doctor of law?”
“I believe. Best graduate brother, definitely .. no doubt.” Guess Pradipta knows.
He clucked, “Honey your guess was wrong! I'm just getting started. Too much work so a bit neglected,” he replied.
“Congratulations .. Lawyers like you definitely always win every handle case.” Imbabu.
Pradipta laughed, even impressed laughter exploded because he was flattered. Until he reflexively closed his mouth so as not to reduce the charm of his beauty.
He also joined the head bobbles, chuckling because of Pradipta's behavior.
But he was surprised when the door of his room opened,
“Mas ...” Kirei opened the door staring at him stiffly.
He hurriedly got off the couch and approached her, “Eh, why not skip?”
While Rendra was still fixated on the doorway that was still wide open.
“I think I got the wrong time. Excuse me. I ... I just wait outside,” Sergeant Kirei who is about to turn his body preparing to leave his room. But he swiftly restrained Kirei's arm.
“That's Aldi's lawyer. I introduce,” he pulled his wife's arm.
“Dip, recognize this my wife ...”
Pradipta stood up and stretched out his hand, “Pradipta.”
“Kirei,”

He was in Danang's room for only a moment. Then he went out to meet Anisa and Oka who had arrived at the rutan Mapolres.
Not long after, Pradipta also pampered.
There is not much talked about by 2 different women in the profession when they are one room. Pradipta with his elegant and classy sitting style. Always stared at her full face as she spoke. But what he remembered when Danang spoke, must have been the woman who befell him by saying ‘exactly’.
“Prepare only rehabilitation filing files. If it is eligible we will consider.” Danang.
“But all must keep running according to procedure,”
“Exactly,” sahut Pradipta.
“Indeed sabu evidence does not exist. Because the suspect just took it. And obviously the test results prove he's a wearer. As well as the suction tool evidence is in his car.”
“Suspects are also up to now still convoluted to provide information related to the sabu giver. Does he belong to the network of dealers. Or just as a user. We still continue to explore it.” Danang.
“Tim assessment who will decide later.” Shoot that guy.
Back Pradipta replying, “Exactly,”
He exhaled as he entered the rutan chamber with Anisa and Oka. They sat side by side on a long white wooden bench with a rectangular wooden table in front of it in matching colors.
He patted the back of Anisa's hand on the table, “Don't worry .. Aldi's lawyer must be trying his best,” he said with a faint smile.
Then came Aldi who was wearing an orange prisoner uniform. Behind him a fully uniformed police officer.
“How are you, Mas?” Tanya Oka who immediately stood up to welcome Aldi's arrival. With her and Anisa.
Aldi threw his ass over the long wooden chair across from him. His face was tangled, haggard with grim, seedy and gloomy curves clearly visible. Hair disheveled. His body is getting thinner and less taken care of.
“You can see for yourself.” Ketus Aldi's.
“Lawyer Mas Aldi will strive for rehab, and—” Anisa said.
“I already know! I'm just a victim.” Cut Aldi.
He sighed slowly. It seemed like Aldi's mood was not allowing them to talk.
Anisa offers a green eco bag that says a famous minimarket.
“We bring snacks with fruits for Mas Aldi,” said Anisa. “May Mas Aldi would like to receive it,” added Anisa.
The first day of his meeting with Aldi was not much. The tall man was more silent. But the glutinous, spicy and annoying nature is still attached.
According to the info he got last night Aldi experienced sakau.
“Sabar, New ...” Said as they were about to split up in the Mapolres parking area.
“Gue will talk to Mas Danang. Wishing you the best for Mas Aldi.”
“Thanks, Rei. I just don't have to. His family just sent a lawyer, like handing him over. Even though at a time like this he definitely needs people who can provide support to him.”
He patted Anisa's shoulder, “Trust her lawyer. You also take care of your health not to drop.”
Then looked at Oka who was standing next to Anisa, “Thanks, Ka.”
Oka nodded, “We wish Mas Aldi all the best.”

On the way home, he was quieter. Even though the man next to her who was driving asked her to speak.
“Why not go home? I can go to Jogja.”
“You must have cape,” Danang rubbed the back of his hand that was above his lap.
“We eat first, yes?” The man looked at her.
“At home,” says.
“But don't know Yumah cook not, nya.”
“DO aja,”
Danang rubbed his head, “Why the hell commute bad mood?” without feeling guilty about him.
Yumah and Darmo who were watching TV at high volume were a little surprised when they found their employer standing next to them.
He shook his head, “Nonton soap operas to his side. Say hello not heard. The sound of the open door also passed aja.” Sindirnya while continuing to shake his head.
“Sorry, Ma'am ..” Darmo felt guilty, then turned down the volume of the television. While Yumah grimaced while scratching her head.
“What cook house? I'm laper.” He left the couple to the dining table.
Yumah quickly darted following, “Mbak Rei want to eat what. I just fried chicken with lodeh.”
“What's wrong, it's also so.” His mouth has already moved the chair. The important thing is that his stomach is filled. From noon departing from Jogja he forgot not to eat lunch.
Yumah rushed to the kitchen with a plate and spoon. A glass of water was placed in front of him.
Danang just came up with 2 pizza boxes. With a famous brand with a red limas roof logo with white writing. Then put it on the dining table right next to him.
He swallowed. The fragrance coming out of the box danced in his sense of smell, inviting him to immediately open and devour it.
“Your favorite. Tuna melt,”
The man was able to keep him from twitching.
But his prestige still perched on top of his hunger. He scoops vegetable lodeh on a plate that contains rice. Take a piece of fried chicken thigh.
Danang deliberately screeched the chair beside him. Opening a pizza box.
“Heemm ...” The man muttered while chewing on a piece of pizza. Intentionally heating it because it still chooses to continue eating on its plate.
“Mo, bring one.” Tukas Danang told Darmo to take a box of pizza. When the man turned off the television. “Share in front,” added Danang.
Darmo nodded, reaching for the box. “Still, Sir.” Then pass.
While he was still chewing food. Even with a forced. Because the appetite to continue eating on his plate suddenly scrambled out of nowhere. It seems like the pizza nearby is more tempting.
“You sure you don't want to?!” Syndir Danang with a smile. Put in the second pizza.
He hastened his eating. Hope quickly leave the dining table, “Kenyang.” He stood up and drank water and stood up afterwards. He left the man who was still sitting. Stupefied.

He observed Kirei secretly. After coming out of the bathroom his wife was still seen reading a book while leaning on the headboard.
“Not sleeping?” Ask.
Kirei was still unmoved. Look at the book he deliberately raised higher. To cover his face. It was just camouflage. His wife seemed to be upset with him.
He went up to the bed. After changing into casual clothes. Then lay hugging Kirei's thigh wrapped in green leaf sleeping pajamas. Kissed her. Put his head down there.
“Kalo you again cuddle funny.” Her chirps. “But I prefer you chatty. Much talk. So I know ... You want what.”
“If I'm a gini, I have to be frantic.”
“While the woman is hardest to guess.”
"Say no, in fact yes .. difficult to admit because of prestige. Especially if you say whatever, make the head want to break."
“More easily guess suspect, motive, destination ... can be read!” His sister with a voice that grew louder.
“Sleep .. Surely you cape.”
And only ten minutes had passed, he had already closed his eyes. Maybe a mix of drowsiness and fatigue.

Oh my, just so doang? His anger in the heart. Seeing Danang already sprawled in deep.
He breathed a rough breath.
But he had no reason to be angry. To argue. To force him to tell stories. Danang should have told you first, right? Explain who Miss Axactly is. It is impossible to be alone in one room. Laugh and look relaxed. Uhh .. sebal!
He closed the book he was reading a little harshly. Then put it on the nightstand next to the bed. Honestly, if asked to review the reading of the book, he will not be able to answer. Because nothing goes into his brain.
It sidled slowly. Get up and walk out of the room.
Arriving in the middle room, the chandelier that used to illuminate the room has been changed with a dim light. Only the lights from the kitchen are still brightly lit.
He's pulling the dining table chair. Open the pizza box that is still there. His eyes sparkled with delight when he found the slice of pizza had only taken 3. It means he can spend the rest. The pizza was already in cold condition.
Pizza pieces entered his stomach. Unknowingly he had spent 4 pieces. Only 1 more piece. He rubbed his stomach. He finally got a good night's sleep he thought. Without having to dream because it has ignored his favorite food.
But, looking at the rest of the pieces stay 1. Mubazir. It is better to spend than to waste food. After all there will be no tomorrow morning asking for the whereabouts of the pizza and who spent it. Nor will Yumah dare.
But when he was about to pick up the last piece, his shoulder seemed to be touched. It squeaks. The pizza just fell. A little more of that piece went into his mouth.
Danang's hand rubbed his shoulder from behind, “If it's still laper up everything. That's for you. Or ... if it is still less tomorrow we can order again.” Then kissed the top of his head.
Now he's like a suspect.
The man took the water and poured it in front of him. Then sit next to him.
He's still flinching. Pouring out his initial intention to devour the final piece. Retain the pizza that he did not eat into the box.
“Why, already full?” Ask the man to look at her. But clearly Danang's lips stumped a smile.
He nodded.
“Possible Aldi can rehab.”
“Three times already sakau. It seems he's really addicted.”
She still listened to her husband talk.
“You can look at him again before being taken to rehab,”
“What's Miss Exactly?” He looked at the man beside him.
The man smiled and folded his lips.
“Can yes not?”
It clucked. Then drink the drink.
