"In the footage, your son does not deny your involvement in Rudi Wicaksono's death."
“Are you just involved or are you a suspect?”
"Is your son an accomplice?"
Praman who had wanted to ignore the reporters who attacked him, suddenly fell silent in anger. He saw the man who threw the question across the line.
"Omong empty! You're wondering as if I killed my own brother!" Praman already can not wear a mask smearing the face, it does not care if they record him when angry.
"Let's get in the car, Director." Harith said after giving way.
"Please make a comment!" Excite them from outside the car while turning on the camera flash photographing. Some of them still ran after Praman's car which was running leaving journalists dissatisfied with Praman's comments.
"Damn it!" Maki Praman stomps the tie to release. The frown increased anger. He looked at Harith cynically.
"How do you work?" His face was on his deputy who was sitting next to the driver.
"Sorry Director. None of us knew there was such a recording." Harith answered without looking back.
"Ck!"
"...You useless dogs." His conjecture scorned his incompetent subordinates.
Harith clenched her hands tightly, lucky she wasn't sitting next to Praman. Otherwise he would have been discovered for not being able to hide his facial expression now.
"How are you gonna take care of this?" Lontar Praman charges at Harith as usual.
"I've called the media, they're taking care of it."
"Slowly." Hisses.
"...What the hell was done from last night? Until this morning it's not right." Reciprocity.
Praman blames his subordinates who are not working properly, so that the morning becomes damaged.
"Sorry Director."
It's not an apology that Praman needs, but a solution. He ignored his gaze, his breathing was still heavy due to the insatiable emotions.
In the past he would only beat Richard all-out as an impingement. Now he can only hold or destroy the items in the house.
While Harith will still behave as usual, obedient and loyal. He wants Praman to feel what he feels, betrayed by the closest and trusted people.
Harith's current state made him look at her with a different side, he realized how bad her position was, and how bad Praman's treatment of her had been.
Previously he had considered everything he experienced to be natural because he was the right hand of an important person in the Company. No idea that loyalty means nothing to Praman.
It's not easy for Harith to decide to work with Summer. At least he is an accomplice of Praman, he will also be involved. There are many considerations when choosing a step.
*****
Week before.
Summer got a call from Harith.
"Hello, Deputy Director." Sapa Summer grinned pasting the phone to the ear.
"Tomorrow nights at AA's restaurant." Harith got to the point.
"Hit?"
"20."
"Good." He hung up the phone.
It didn't take long to get Harith by his side.
*****
Tomorrow at AA's restaurant.
"Can you fix Jenni's image?" Ask Harith straight to the point. If they have to work together, Harith must get reciprocity.
"Oms. That's not what you should be asking. But can Om get away with working together to bring down Praman?"
Harith was speechless, he wanted to ask that, but negotiations could be a lot. The most important thing right now is his daughter's life.
"What's your plan?"
"I have all the hard evidence that could bring down Praman. Only I don't have solid evidence that he killed Papa."
"...The thing I want to say the most is Papa's death." Reciprocity.
Harith knew very well, that was the first thing Summer would ask, Rudi Wicaksono's death.
"You look very calm. I could be the one who killed your father."
"I know."
"Why ask me to meet? Not that you want to drop me with Praman.”
“Hmmm it is indeed true.”
“I'll think about fixing Jenni's image or not.”
“So you will also drop me.”
“Of course. Suspects should be punished. But at least this time Om is not a black sheep Om Praman. Om can bring him down together.” Summer sneers.
“I will work together. But you should try to help Jenni.”
“Depends on effort Om Harith also.”
“You grew up to be a terrible person, Summer.”
Seeing Summer's attitude, smiling, talking to the person who might have killed her Papa, made Harith's hair stand up.
“Of course not. I grew up very well. You guys made me this way.”
“... If I'm terrible. You guys what dong Om?” Summer laughed, to her the horrible word was a joke.
Summer rose to assume the conversation was summarized. He just gave a smile and passed.
“He has proof of it.” Said Sara who was accompanying but sitting at another table.
“I've guessed.” Sahut Summer holding the steering wheel of the car preparing to go.
*****
“I'm so sorry I don't have the power to read minds.” Ambek Mara who was told to go home first and choose to go with Sara to meet Harith.
“Why?” Summer who had just arrived home was greeted by a big man's sour face.
“You've brought Sara more often than I.” Lirih.
Summer understood as she seemed to know Mara's nature, even if it was her own sister she remained jealous.
“What the hell, Brother?” Sara shuddered amusedly while squinting her eyes.
“Good. I'm sorry.” Summer's words calmed Mara down.
Sara rolled her eyes looking at the couple's height. It is best to go to the room to avoid more drama.
“Hey, new until?” Sapa Tapa smiled sweetly.
“Iya.” Sara immediately entered her room after a short reply.
Tapa followed casually, making Sara frown.
“Why come in?”
“Tak can? I just want to check on you.”
“How am I? I'm fine.” Maybe because of the new look of romance that damaged the eyes, Sara so carried away upset, the language became a little tired.
“Why are you angry? What am I wrong?” Without hesitation he showed his scowling nose.
Sara immediately put on a smile. Tapa's face turned out to be very funny when he pouted. Every day she would be surprised by some new mimicry, Sara enjoyed it.
“You pouting?” Sara raised a smiling eyebrow.
“What does it look like?” But not sure, it might be a reflex.
“Iya. That's your pouting face.”
“Jelek?”
“Gak.”
“Good.” Tapa smiled awkwardly in embarrassment.
“But, Tapa. I am very considering going to stay on the mainland directly or not.”
“Why? Don't you like it?”
“Hmm likes in some ways. But the neighborhood, ck. I really don't like.”
“Iya. Humans are creepy. I'll if wherever you live.”
“Ck. You won't be able to give up.”
Tapa only replied with his optimistic smile.
”But.... will you continue to wear this?” Sara touched the jewelry attached to Tapa's lip piercing.
“Hm?”
Sara's fingers hit a little of Tapa's lips when she touched the piercing. Just a little unintentionally. But it has made Tapa hard saliva.
“Rest Sara.” He smiled back calmly.
Sara began to understand, when this man smiled calmly there must be something hidden. But I don't know, he's been tired enough all day to go home at night to listen to the rotten minds of humans.
“I miss Uma.” He fell asleep without changing clothes.
