Revenge By Law's
ARTICLE 111

A white chest lay in the middle of the church altar. Several people stood around him with gloomy faces and mourning moods. Unlike other funerals, from the beginning the chest was closed and not opened, given the condition of the corpse that had been very destroyed.

Rama will be buried close to Shasha's tomb, considering that in the final moments of his life, he said he wanted to meet with his lover. Fortunately, Shasha's parents allow her because they already know the relationship between the two and in the end they know that Rama has been slandered for the death of his daughter.

One strange sight seen in the cemetery was the large number of policemen on guard. News of Abi escaping from prison has spread across the country. For the sake of his escape, Abi also reportedly killed a prison warden.

CCTV footage of the murder has now been posted on the internet. Of course, it's not the original recording. Jesse Arnold hires two actors, one of whom is similar to Abi, and they act as if Abi killed the prison warden in a vicious manner.

The police suspect Abi will come to his sister's funeral. Therefore, they sent several officers to supervise the situation around the funeral service. However, there has been no sign of Abi's presence.

Regina sat in the back row. He also felt a very deep sorrow because he had known Rama since he was a child. Although not too close, Rama always be friendly to him.

“You don't work?” asked Rinjani who was whispering next to him.

“Not your business,” replied Regina ketus.

Regina remembered her personal problems. For overly contrived reasons, he had to receive a month's suspension from his boss. Now he knows why he was suspended after hearing the news about Abi escaping from prison.

“Isn't the video fake?” Again Rinjani throws a question that makes Regina even more upset. “I mean video of the murder committed by Abi.”

“I don't know. I was not given permission to check it.”

“Only to check it should ask for permission? Not that you can check it out yourself. The video has been widely spread on the internet.”

Regina looked at Rinjani sharply, so the interlocutor closed his lips with a sign of silence. “H appreciate this funeral service. Maybe you don't have a relationship with Rama, but I have.”

“But, it doesn't seem as familiar as Indira,” Rinjani said as she looked towards Indira.

Indira has not stopped crying. His heart had been completely broken since the incident and knew Rama had died from it. He cried until Rama's funeral. In fact, his cries were firmer than the other mourners.

Although only a few months old, the memories between him and Rama are too much. Yes, even though they had only known for a few months, the time they spent together was quite intense. Various events have been passed together. Starting from a tense, moving, sad even that makes them laugh happily.

Indira remembered how Rama adored his brother. Indira also remembers how much Rama loved her like his own brother. Indira recalls how Rama never used the first pronoun and chose to say his own name. Indira recalls the moment Rama smiled showing off his combat locust motor, as Rama accompanied him during the investigation, as Rama cried as his mother was accused of burning down Totok's house, when Rama greeted at the hospital, although he himself was seriously injured, when Rama promised Indira as his first role model.

“Rama! Rama!” he shouted on the sidelines of Rama's funeral service led by Siti V.

Beside him was Ratih who tried to calm him down. Regina and Rinjani look at Indira from behind and think they should be there. Now, everyone thinks Abi is closer to the lawyer than they are.

“It just so happens that she is a crybaby woman. But I am stronger than him. But, that does not prove that he is closer to Abi. I mean, Rama. He had only known the deceased, while I had been very long,” Regina said trying to deny the closeness between Indira and Rama.

“Maybe I am also a strong woman, so do not cry like.”

Suddenly the atmosphere became a little chaotic outside the church. The policemen on guard had just gotten important information which made them panic a little.

“What's with your friends?” rinjani asks Regina who also looks confused.

“Can be bad if they find it!”

Rinjani and Regina leave the church. They saw only one more policeman left there. The policeman was shocked when he saw Regina, who was his senior, coming towards him.

“Where are the others?” ask Regina.

“Ready! Sa, I don't know,” replied the policeman was a bit nervous.

“Come on, you don't have to keep it a secret. I'm also a cop,” said Regina who started to get suspicious. “Do not you guys are forbidden to tell me.”

“Ready! Ti, no, Bu.”

“Alright if you don't want to tell him. I'll ask your boss directly. You know for yourself that AKP Listyo with me is like a friend.”

The cop gets nervous when Regina pulls out her phone and starts opening the contact numbers.

“Ba, fine, sa, I will tell you.” Eventually, the police surrendered. “We got information from one of the residents that the whereabouts of Abhimanyu Alexander was seen in an office on Kenanga street number 23.”

Regina and Rinjani stared at each other. They knew that it was Indira's office where Abi had been hiding all this time. Rinjani immediately took the initiative to pick up Indira who was still wailing in front of Rama's coffin. They should be back soon.

In one of the rooms of a hospital, Aunt Jenny was still lying unconscious. It has been more than a week, but his condition has not shown the slightest positive change. Diagnosed, he inhaled too much of the toxic carbon monoxide that made his consciousness disappear.

At that time, no one accompanied him. All his acquaintances were following Rama's funeral. Only the nurse comes in at a certain period of time to check his condition and replace his infusion when it is up.

And just as the nurse had just left the room, someone opened the door and slowly walked in. He was wearing black clothes and a hat that covered the top of his face. The man walked over and stopped when he was standing right next to Aunt Jenny's bed.

“Ma, I'm coming,” said the man.

Apparently, it was Abi. Unlike the police, Abi did not go to his stepbrother's funeral. He even visited his mother in the hospital. Since the burning of New Batavia that caused the mother unconscious in the hospital, Abi had intended to visit her. However, due to his status, he had no chance to do that.

Today, as his sister was about to be buried, he got that chance. Ironic, but he has to be tough. He had to endure the immense pain of having to miss the opportunity to see Rama one last time.

In his hand, there was a transparent bottle. In addition to visiting his mother, tonight he also found a big fact. Apparently, the mother was made unconscious on purpose. Every day the infusion is injected with a type of opioid to continue in a coma. If this is allowed to last a long time, it is not impossible that Aunt Jenny will lose her life.

“As Mama once said, they are indeed very evil. When Mama told me to stop, I should have stopped so that Rama would not have to die and Mama would not have to be tortured like this,” Abi said while holding back tears. “But, since it's been like this, I can't stop anymore. I have to end it with our victory, even though I have to risk my life. I'm sorry for not being able to protect you.”

Suddenly a loud noise came from outside the room.  Shortly after, several policemen came in and pointed a gun at Abi. Abi just resigned and raised his hand. He let the policemen handcuff him and dragged him out of the room.

When they had just left the hospital for the police car, Indira, Regina and Rinjani had come and tried to get close to Abi. But the police arrested them. Some media crews have also been waiting and trying to get more detailed information from the police and Abi himself.

“I'll never stop. Remember, I'm not gonna stop. Please be patient until the time comes,” whispered Abi when Indira managed to approach him.
