NOT PERPETRATORS
Mysterious Gifts

The man and the woman who delivered the car, then went to ride the red car. Meanwhile, Fania and I were still staring at their departure.

"Imania, is this a birthday present?"

"I don't know."

This mysterious gift made me guess, is this from the company? But that's not possible.

I re-read the price of the car. Listed Rp. 2.5 billion. It's pretty expensive. Who really gave me this mysterious gift? What is possible ... Dimas.

Fania was engrossed in seeing and stroking the white car that was still wrapped in pink ribbon. I took my phone out of my pocket and called a number. Connected.

"Hello."

"Yes, hello, Imania."

"Sir Ve, did you know that someone sent me a car?"

"Car? Who?"

Ah, it turns out that Ve's secretary doesn't know either. That means not Dimas. Normally, if Dimas gave me anything, Ve's secretary would know. After all, Dimas and I have nothing to do. So .. where might it be from Dimas.

"Who sent you the car, Imania," asked Secretary Ve.

"Not knowing."

"Kok, can?"

"Sir Ve, it's a long time ago, huh? Assalamualaikum."

"Getishalight."

I hung up the phone. I looked back at the car keys and several sheets of paper containing the ownership documents of the car. All the property is in my name.

What makes me weird again is that I can't drive a car. Then why am I given this car?

***

Time shows at eleven o'clock. We were talking on the sofa.

"Imania, let's not say the car was a gift from Dimas."

"That's impossible. I asked the secretary Ve earlier."

"What's he saying?"

"Said he didn't know about the car."

"Well, don't-don't .. The car was indeed given Dimas for you. After all, Ve's secretary, right, said she didn't know. Not saying that it wasn't from Dimas. It could be, right, Dimas secretly bought the car for you."

Fania's words are true as well. Secretary Ve, right, just said no idea. "But it's still impossible."

"Or maybe .. from Rudi."

"It's also impossible. Rudi doesn't know about my birthday."

Suddenly my phone rings. Secretary Ve called me.

"Hello."

"Imania, about the car is from me" said Ve secretary suddenly.

"You said you didn't know?"

"Ah, ha-ha, yes, I forgot," replied the secretary Ve.

I was confused by Ve's secretary's statement. "Then I'll ask."

"What mean?"

I'll test Ve's secretary with some questions. "Why did you give me the car?"

"That's your birthday present, Imania."

"Then, what color car did you give me?"

"Em ... a minute."

Secretary Ve fell silent for a moment. And it made me doubt that the car was a gift from him.

"Other questions only. How much is that car worth?" my many.

"Em .. I forgot. A minute ...."

Once again the secretary of Ve fell silent.

"Rp. 2.5 billion," I said because I can't wait for the secretary Ve to answer.

"Rp. 2.5 billion?" Secretary Ve sounded surprised. And that's enough to prove that the car wasn't from him.

"Tell me the truth, Brother Ve. Who is this car from? What's from Dimas?"

"If this car's from Dimas, I'll return it."

"Imania, be patient. Let me explain."

"I don't deserve this, Brother Ve? Anyway I can't drive a car" I said with a trembling tone. My emotions began to re-expose thinking if it was Dimas's gift. I can't take it. Anyway, I'll return the car to him, if it's really from him.

"Sorry, Imania. I think I've explained it wrong. This car is a gift from the company to you."

I let out a rough breath. "So you said that from you?"

"It seems you misunderstood. Imania, it is a gift from us. A gift from the company because you've worked well. At the same time it's a birthday present for you," explains Ve's secretary.

I'm not saying. I don't know why, I feel like Ve's secretary is lying.

"Imania, sorry .. for confusing you. Actually it was a surprise. I asked the dealer owner to pick it for you. So ... It's only natural that I don't know" Ve's secretary explained again.

"Weak of it?" many wonder. Where could the company give such an expensive car to its manager.

"Didn't you want to say thank you?"

"I will thank Mr. Wibowo tomorrow" I said.

"Don't. Ma-I mean .. i-iya please," said Ve's secretary stammering.

"Okay, thanks, Brother Ve."

I hung up the phone. Put the phone on the sofa. I'm sure, the secretary Ve lied to me. Something must have been hidden from him.

"What did the wolf say?" ask Fania.

"He said the car was a gift from the company."

"Gee, great! You're so lucky, Imania."

"The thing is, I don't believe."

"What makes you not believe?"

I exhaled a rough breath, reluctant to respond to Fania's question.

"Arka, now we have a car. Horey!" exclaim Fania to Arka.

Arka who was engrossed in playing cars was soaring happily.

"Horay! Mom has a car. Horey!"

Arka and Fania voiced each other's excitement. As for me, just pursing my lips, not knowing how to express myself. I am happy to have received the car or vice versa. If it's from Dimas, like my gut feeling. I'll return the car to him.

***

Since this morning, Fania and Arka have been whining about asking to shop because their supply of snacks, milk, and soft drinks has run out. So, I agreed to take them shopping this afternoon.

Fania and Arka looked so happy and excited. The intention is, all of us will try this car. When we were ready, we got down and got out of the house.

Arriving in front of the car, Arka and Fania continued to cheer happily.

"Horay! We're shopping Arka!" exclaim Fania while pinching Arka's cheek.

"Yey!" arka Cheers.

"Where's the car key? Give it to me," Fania said as she extended her hand.

I gave him the key, saying, "Be careful with the car, Fania. Don't speed. After all, you haven't driven a car in a long time, have you?"

"Just calm. I'm a professional, really. Leave it to me."

We got in the car too. This car is very comfortable. The engine sound is still very soft. AC is cold. The car is also equipped with a room freshener that sprays automatically into the cabin. Justjust wonderful. This car is similar to the Dimas car.

"Come, Arch, recite the basmalah first," I commanded.

"Bismil was bornrahmanirrahim," said Arka.

Fania and I also read Basmalah. Begging Allah SWT to take care of us. We are always safe on our journey.
