Revenge By Law's

After the incident on the outer island

A helicopter landed on the runway slowly. Abi and Regina stood up from her seat as if preparing to welcome. A soldier got off the helicopter first, then helped someone down. That is Indira.

Indira who was wrapped in a thick blanket suddenly cried when she saw Abi waving at her. He immediately ran and hugged the man. Regina who was near them felt neglected. But, he understood and just smiled.

The plan this time went perfectly. Abi had agreed to Tandika Andronikus, the president's spokesman, that he would conduct an interview after the location of Mr. Jireh was found. He can't fake an interview like he did with Jack. Mr. Jireh will definitely be more thorough.

“Master Jireh is dead. I accidentally pushed him off a helicopter. I have killed him,” Indira said in a soft voice.

“Wah, you are great,” reply Abi joking. “No, it's not murder. You were just defending yourself and it happened by accident. From the story I heard, at that time the helicopter was unstable and you only returned the encouragement he did to you.”

Shortly thereafter, the envoy from the Tandika Andronikus expressed his gratitude to Abi for representing him and the president. Thanks to Abi, the government managed to find the location where the Hemas Treasure was kept.

From the body of Mr. Jireh, found an EDC-like object (Electronic Data Capture) from a bank abroad. It was usually used by Mrs Hemas when Mr. Jireh needed money for their ambitious project. Normally, Mrs Hemas entered the password and Mr. Jireh was not allowed to know about it.

During the interview, Mrs Hemas gave a sign in the form of a morse code given by hitting the table. That signal is the password in question. After learning of Mr. Jireh's death, Mrs Hemas finally admitted to telling Mr. Jireh to withdraw all the money and hide it elsewhere. He hoped that one day Mr. Jireh would release him using the money.

“Well, now it's all really over,” Regina said. Abi and Indira smiled as if agreeing with the statement.

A few months later

Indira was busy checking some documents. His face looked wrinkled and harbored a great deal of resentment. He realized that there was an invisible document.

“Abi! Abi!”

Abi came out with his confused face. “What's up?”

“Where is the copy of BAP for the case of Mr Cornelius?”

Abi scratched his head, then walked casually towards Indira's desk and opened his drawer.

“You yourself put it here so as not to forget,” said Abi. “Makanya, already know busy, even marathon watching anime.”

“Not your business. Basic, K-Popers crybaby.”

“Better than wibu freak.”

After a tense incident that led to the death of Lord Jireh and the discovery of Treasure Hemas, Abi ran the trial because the review request submitted by Indira was accepted by the state court.

As a result, the verdict that Abi previously received for drug possession or distribution cases was overturned by the supreme court and he received a new verdict, namely innocence. In other words, Abi is free.

From then on, Abi restores his life. The government helped him with the C package exam and gave him a full scholarship to continue his studies at the law school of a fairly good college.

While in college, Abi worked as a paralegal in Indira Christina's law office. Today, they are known as a legal duo who successfully handle various legal cases. Their clients keep growing until they start limiting clients.

Rinjani never showed up again. That said, he had decided to become a lover of nature and traveled around to explore the natural beauty in this country. Although Abi and Indira knew, he did so because he was avoiding loan sharks.

“When is the plan to pilgrimage to the tomb of Rama?” ask Indira.

“Entah, maybe this weekend,” replied Abi. “You all make a pilgrimage to your papa's tomb?”

“Seems not. I just made a pilgrimage there with mbak Ratih and his family.” Indira looked at Abi as if there was a question she wanted to ask, but still hesitated. “Eh, have you found out about your father?”

Hearing that question, Abi looked uncomfortable. But, he finally smiled so that Indira did not feel guilty.

“I don't think necessary,” replied Abi. “While he was only present for a short time in my life, it meant a lot to me. The police said he was missing. I just wish he had actually run away from there. I told you about the tunnel.”

Indira noticed that Abi's eyes were being filled with unbearable tears. He knew that the tough man in front of him was fragile. Since knowing him, only in this case did Abi seem to refuse to see the truth. The words he had heard from Mrs Hemas were actually a big clue that her father was not doing well. But, he wanted to deny it and thought his father was living a happy life, as Aunt Jenny had implanted him since childhood.

“How is your mother? Is aunt Jenny in good health?” tanya Indira tried to divert the conversation.

“As usual. Still healthy and energetic. Of course, the catering business was good and he invited some of our former neighbors in Batavia Baru to help him. So, he doesn't feel lonely.”

“Good. I'm so happy,” said Indira.

“Then, how about you?”

Suddenly Abi brought his face closer to Indira's face so that the woman's face reddened.

“Me, what's wrong with me?”

Indira could clearly see the smile on Abi's face. He felt his heart beat faster than usual. His cheeks were hot as if they were about to burn.

“Didn't you feel lonely?”

“Ke, why should I feel lonely? I have been living alone all this time too. No one really accompanies me other than Ratih.”

Indira stood up and pretended to concern herself with the books in the closet behind her chair.

“But I am not talking about your whole life. I'm just talking about your weekend. I have plans to watch in the cinema tonight this week and plan to invite you if you feel lonely.”

Indira felt a little embarrassed for misresponding to Abi's question. He laughed a little and while turning his body around, he said “Alright, I will accompany you to watch. But, it must be made clear that it is not me who is lonely, but ka-”

Indira's mouth immediately clenched when she saw Abi was standing just a moment in front of her. The man propped his hands up to the cupboard that was behind Indira. Indira's face turned red again and her heart again beat irregularly. Sweat started flowing down his forehead. His mind began to wildly imagine what would happen later.

“I just need to clarify one thing. It's not just a regular viewing activity. We must agree to consider it a date.”
