Ode To Latitude
Stuffy

Danu Atmaja was led out of his house. There were patrol cars, police, and complex guards around his house. Without much questioning, Danu turned herself in. His facial water was normal, there was no uneasiness on his face. 

"Sir, sir, is it true that you committed corruption?" ask a reporter while proffering a voice recorder just below his chin.

Danu chose to shut up. Ignoring the dozens of camera blitzs that pointed at his face. Although without a fight, his handcuffed hands still prevented him from escaping.

Along the way Danu enjoys the beauty of the capital at night. For a long time he did not enjoy the dawn air, the quiet road and saw other buildings that he had never seen before.

The vehicle slowed down, they arrived at the police station. Danu was examined in a closed room, investigated as if he was the perpetrator of the murder. 

There is no evidence denied by Danu. All documents contain his signature. For more than 6 hours Danu was under the intimidation of the authorities. No sound came out of his mouth.

That day, people came to visit him. They offer legal assistance and so on. Danu remained indifferent, for him this time was the best time to make a logical decision. He tried to guard his mind and heart.

Meanwhile, in the body of the Nationalist Coalition Party (PKN) party where he took shelter, there was a closed position change. Bobby who got the news, immediately told Danu through one of his subordinates who delivered food to the detention room where Danu was.

Awakened Danu's suspicions all along. His secretary who was a party person was the mastermind behind his arrest. Not only that, even his party mates would betray him for money and power.

"Run our plan" Danu's orders were brief. Through an old cell phone he rented from a jailer.

Meanwhile, Arimbi, Regata, and Mia are hiding in the nanggulan. Trying to undergo activities as a village community, under vigilance.

"We will be safe here" Arimbi told Regata, who began to be suspicious of local residents.

The latitude issue has not subsided. There is no clear refutation or clarification of the management of Latitude and PBSI. One by one anonymous account appeared to reveal the characteristics of women who look like Regata.

When reading hoax news about Latitude, his emotions increased. His whole body feels cramped. The breath of hunting, there is a sense of tightness that is not able to overcome it. Every night he could not sleep well.

Mia is not taken care of either. Often the little girl complained that her muscles hurt because she never did her routine activities.

Arimbi is on the verge of confusion. He hasn't been contacted by Bobby for two days. His worries are increasing. Her husband, children, and grandchildren are not okay. Despite her GERD relapse, Arimbi could not complain. Everything's fucked up, they're not okay.

"Ma, how should I go?" ask Regata on the third day they stayed at the place.

"Please, we'll definitely get some news after this" Arimbi told Regata.

Regata fell silent, hugging Mia. Her little daughter stared back at Regata's face trying to convince her mother that the storm must have passed.

"Ma, don't be sad" Mia whispered to Regata.

Regata's tears are unstoppable. His anxiety broke with his daughter's whisper. He had to believe that everything would definitely end.

Of Jakarta …

The trial has not been decided. Investigators are gathering evidence, but Danu's political opponents are getting more heated. They are demanding the redress of public money, as well as the freezing of personal assets.

Danu was in the least bit undaunted, threats and terror kept coming for her even unexpectedly, that afternoon Latang appeared before her with an uncertain face. Lintang's face look tired but his eyes were fierce, as if demanding justice.
