"Good day sir, I want to besuk a prisoner named Paijo."


"With whose father?"


"Sayid!"


"Please enter the waiting room, we will immediately call the concerned."


"Okay sir, thank you very much."


Some time lapse wait, from the direction of the inner door of the glass barrier between napin and visitors out Paino coupled with the prison officer.


His condition was very alarming, many scars here and there and his thin unkempt body had a lot of hair growing on his face.


"It's fifteen minutes."


Without waiting for a response, the officer went back in.


"How are you doing Jo?"


"Let's just bang, "


The answer is to bow your head.


"Why are you here?"


"Emhh"


Paijo remained lowered, as if not wanting to stare at Bang Sayid.


"Well, if you don't want to tell me, I'll go first." Bang Sayid who was upset because his interlocutor just silently decided to move from before him.


"I chose Bang's friend wrong, because of my pain towards Brother, so decided to find a new friend and finally got it but they were robbers and just used me."


"Have I ever hurt you?"


Sit back.


"Neither Bang, but because of my Lord my brother married me so lazy to meet Brother."


"I'm sorry I never knew that. Oh yeah, I heard you killed the owner of the house you robbed?"


"I didn't kill, I tried to help them not get killed."


"What is really Jo? why are you defending your own victims."


"Their parents are Sri" he replied.


"What Jo!"


Although from the beginning you can guess, but it still feels like Bang Sayid was shocked.


"I can't help Jo, even if you're telling me the truth, they're not gonna let you go because all the evidence points to you unless there's evidence that can exonerate you from all the charges."


"No bang, I'm resigned to this situation. Because both of my parents are no longer willing to defend and instead think I'm dead."


"Please Jo, I hope your problems are resolved soon and you can be free from this place."


"Terimakaih Bang, greetings to Bang Togar and Kang Asep, please apologize to them as well. I also apologize profusely for harming Brother's in-laws."


"The time of visit is over."


The officer who had ushered Paijo came to break our conversation."


"Yes Jo, I'll go home first. Take good care of your greetings I must have conveyed to Bang Togar with Kang Asep."


"Yes Bang, thank you so much for visiting me."


*********


What should I say to Sri, how would she feel if she knew her parents and child had died?


Should I just tell him? even if he came home I do not need to worry anymore with the treasures of his parents who are famous for being rich must belong to Sri one because he is an only child.


"Sial haand phonnya from earlier was not active continuously."


"Ahh bodo is very, not my business that is important when I should be able to contact Sri and tell the news of the death of the child and the third person."


Bang Sayid immediately left the toilet, headed for his tongkronag place.


***********


"Hurry up, you've got here again, Bang?


"Kumaha Paijo Bang? is he okay."


"Where in prison is fine, strange question you Kang!"


"Paijo looks good, although there are many injuries here and there. He also sends greetings to both of you, and apologizes, he said."


"I want to see him, let's go Kang now."


"Tomorrow Bang Togar, now I have a need. O yes Bang Sayid, is it true that the story is spread he said Paijo killed the victim? Who's he telling you?"


"My second was the victim, but he said it wasn't Paijo who killed."


"What's? who really Bang?"


"Yes, Paijo tried to thwart the murder but he collapsed and when he woke up all the evidence pointed at him."
