Mr. Secretary: Destiny Bound
CHAPTER 4 – I HIT A GIRL

Indra rode his black New Civic slowly. As usual, the traffic on Otista Road was blocked.

The boy's voice rang again.

Papa..” there is the voice of a child as if calling him enthusiastically.

“Papa..” the voice of the other little ones sounded as enthusiastic as the voice of the first.

“Jangn. Pegi Papa's. A-yes. Owang fray.”

“Papa, syepa pegi. Nayi!”

“Run, Papa!” the voice of the bigger child.

Just at that moment, a large white box car cut its path. The box car will turn left when it is still on the right lane. Indra braked his car with a squeaking sound and slammed the steering wheel to the left to avoid impact.

The left side of the car hit hard with the hand of a woman wearing a skirt made of light pink wana with light brown flowers that had just come down from the sidewalk to cross the road. Indra could hear the voice whispering to the woman. The tip of her young brown pashmina crashed to the side.

The sound of a long horn sounded earthy from behind him. Indra pulled his car over properly so as not to block the flow of traffic. He got out of his car, looking for a female figure with a pink brown flower skirt and a brown pashmina. Niente.

His head turned to the right and left. His eyes searched for the figure of the woman but did not appear in his eyes.

“Punten, sir, look at the woman who was hit by my car?” ask Indra to the father of the fruit seller.

“Already gone, Kasep_Ganteng_. It seems like he was in a hurry. Although he had felt pain, he immediately crossed the road and immediately took a red angkot,” he replied, “His hand was injured like it. She crossed over while holding her hand.”

Indra's heart melos. He's haunted by guilt.

“Father knew the woman earlier?” ask Indra.

The father shook his head.

“Wah, it is a pity that I did not see his face earlier,” said Indra.

“Whose person is beautiful, Sep. Geulis pisan kos artist_Very beautiful like artist_. Still young again.”

“Kos saha artist, sir?_Like whose artist, sir?_”

“Duka atuh. Da Bapak mah teu apal ngaran artiste.._Don't know. You do not memorize the name of artist_” the Father chuckled.

“Ya already, I walk again yes Sir. Hatur nuhun_thank you_,” said Indra.

“Mango Sep, be careful.”

Indra rubbed her face while in the car. Repeatedly saying Istighfar. His hand trembled as he pressed the start button on his car. His knees were still trembling. It's only the first time during driving he's hit people.

Looking at the donut stall plank, he entered his parking lot. He needs sugar to ease his shock. Finished ordering at the counter table, he looked for a seat that could ease his tension.

Indra typed a chat message in WAG Kuping Merah.

Indra_Gue hit people. Girls_

All_Innalillaahi wainna ilayhirooji’uun_

Bramasta_Lu where is it now?_

Indra_Yes. Said Mr. –father of the fruit seller earlier, the girl crossed the road while holding his hand_

Anton_Where's it going, Bro? I tried to track using CCTV cameras on the station or the government. What time did it happen?_

Indra_Otista Road, after New Market. About 15 minutes ago_

Anton_OK_'s

Bramasta_Tumbennya you careless like that, Ndra?_

Indra_There's a boxcar that cut my lane. He was from the direction of the right lane, suddenly turning to the left. When I slam the steering wheel to the left, the girl is suddenly on the road instead of on the sidewalk_

Anton_Gue has entered the control center of the street camera. Tar I was looking for first sighting of your car Bro. You wear a Civic or a Pajero?_

Indra_Civic_'s

Anton_Gotch! I've seen it happen. Bad lu Bro. Tighten impact!_

Hans_Where's the video?_

Anton_Tar Bang, I'm still siphoning off data_

Agung_Setdah, suck data!_

Anton_sound. Done. Send it now_OK. Done it. Sent now_

WAG pause for a few minutes. Each of them downloaded a video sent by Anton and then watched it several times.

Leon_Your reflexes are good, Ndra. Crib car really mepet with lu_ car

Hans_Yakin that the car is wrong until it has to cut Indra's track? I suspect it was intentional, right?_

Bramasta_I mean, anyone deliberately targeting Indra for harm?_
