“Why don't we visit your brother? I wonder what they were talking about. Um, probably related to the case.” said Indira. He was more curious about what happened between Abi, prosecutor Jerold and Regina.
“Kata bang Abi, there are important things that we must take care of.”
Rama does not know if according to Indira at this time, there is nothing more important than knowing more details about the story of 'love triangle' is hot.
“Ah, what is that important thing?” indira grumbled in a soft voice, so that Rama did not hear him.
Indira's question was answered when they finally met someone who was familiar enough to them.
“Totok!”
Rama called the name in a heavier tone than usual. The highlight of his sharp eyes made clear the attitude of his heart that was still angry at the man. While the man showed a surprised expression as if not ready to welcome the arrival of Indira and Rama.
“What's up? I don't want to deal with you guys anymore.”
“Come on, we have a pretty close relationship. Your sister escaped the law because my brother, my brother is threatened with severe punishment because your testimony and your house burned because ‘ he said’ was burned by my mother.”
The man named Totok was confused to give a response from Rama. He was tired of dealing with that family. Especially here, in this crowded market, with several prospective buyers still circling the trade.
“If you have something to say, tell it somewhere else. Don't bother people who are making a living.”
Indira agreed with what Totok said. He approached Rama and whispered, “We should take him somewhere else. We've become a spectacle of people in the market.”
“Kakak don't know? Already hundreds of times Rama tried to meet him at home, but he always refused.”
“Of course. You burned my house.”
“Hey, remember! Precision of Energen - A person cannot be considered guilty before there is a guilty verdict from a judge in court.”
Indira raised her eyebrows after hearing the term said by Rama. He felt he had heard of it, but it didn't seem right like it.
“Ah\, t*i cat with law! T*i cat with court!”
“Bung, this country is a country of law. A punishment that ensures order and order in society. Anyone will not be able to escape from the law,” said Indira who began to be offended by the words Totok.
“If the law goes right, the woman should have been punished.”
“Damn it! How many times have you said, our mama is not -”
“You want proof of what else? It's clear there are some people who saw him pouring gasoline into my house.”
Rama wants to give an answer, even though he does not know what kind of answer is most appropriate. However, Indira stretched out her hand as a signal for her to hold back her emotions. His anger that was burning, suddenly receded when he saw Indira's face that had been flushed and even her cheeks slightly quivered. It seemed like the petite woman was heading towards the peak of her emotions, more than the emotions Rama had.
“So, you want us to solve it without going through the court?” Indira did not wait for an answer to that question. He opened his cell phone and showed a video showing a person dousing a bucket of liquid on a burning object and the fire was growing. “According to the confessions of the witnesses you said earlier, they saw aunt Jenny do as in this video. That is, they saw Aunt Jenny after the fire. As the fire grew, they initially thought that Aunt Jenny was dousing fuel. But do you know what's watered in this video? Just plain water.”
Everyone who heard it was shocked. Some people are aware that what Indira says makes sense, although there are some people who do not understand. Including Rama
“So, what was watered by our mama it was just plain water?” whisper Rama. But, Indira ignored him because he was excited to corner Totok.
“You know why that happened? That's because Aunt Jenny flushed the burning oil tank causing a large fire upwards due to the oxygen supply from the evaporating water,” Indira said. “And the funny thing is, the oil tank was in an unnatural place, like being deliberately placed there to be watered by aunt Jenny.”
“What do you mean by ‘intentionally put there’? You're accusing us of burning down our own house?”
Indira's words provoked Totok's emotions. Indirectly, the woman's lawyer accused Totok of fabricating her own house fire.
“You're a legal person. You must know that I can sue you for that slander,” snapped Totok. The veins on his face came out like they were about to break.
“Where are your valuables? Where is the usual television in your living room? Where is the usual motor parked on your porch at that hour? Then, is it a coincidence that the fire occurred when your mother who had a stroke was staying at your family's house outside the city? You're like you're ready for that fire.”
“I, that's because we already had a feeling that the woman was going to burn down our house. Hence, we -”
“According to reports of fire incidents, the strong suspicion of fire is not from outside, but from inside the house. First, you make sure there are no more valuables and family members who find it difficult to move around in the house. Then, you damage the hose of the gas cylinder and allow gas to accumulate in the kitchen in a closed condition. You just have to wait for Aunt Jenny to come and scold you for testifying to corner Abi. If there is no sign of his coming, perhaps you will call him or Rama. And when Aunt Jenny has come, you just need to give a little spark for an explosion to occur in the kitchen. It's risky, but I'm sure you've trained it so you don't get hurt while doing it.”
Everyone started to believe in Indira's analysis because it was quite detailed. This was reinforced with a nervous expression from Totok.
“Ha, just because you say it at length, doesn't mean everything you say is true. It could be just the fruit of your wild fantasies.”
“But I have the proof,” said Indira as she reached into her bag. Totok is getting nervous. Especially when Indira shows a photo of a burning object. That thing was very familiar to him. “This knife was found at TKP. According to forensic experts, the shape of the blade is very identical to the damage marks on the gas tube hose.”
Totok's leg joints seemed to disappear suddenly, making his body waver as if he wanted to collapse. His face paled like he was facing the angel of death. Meanwhile, there began to be the sound of applause from market visitors who had been watching the debate. The first and loudest Rama clapped his hands.
“Marvelous, Marvelous,” praise Rama who sounds like one of the famous cartoon characters from the neighboring country.
Rama was amazed by two things. First, of course, because of Indira's ability to analyze the possibility of events in detail. Second, because the contents of the message from his brother when they were still in the rutan.
Go see Totok at the market with Indira. Provocate him and make a fuss until Indira ignited emotions.
Now he understood, why not Totok, but Indira who must be ignited emotions.
Meanwhile, Indira still responded to the cheers of praise aimed at her with a timid smile. Yes, that bumbling, shy lawyer has solved a case like a famous detective.

Abi laughed when he heard the news about an amateur video showing how Indira revealed her analysis in front of Totok who had been considered a victim.
“I suspect, lest all this is your scenario,” guess Amran who has been watching with Abi since.
“Not completely. I don't know about that analysis,” Abi replied. “I only know that the woman already has a good analysis.”
“Does it matter if he interferes with witnesses outside the court?” ask Dipo who is interested in drumming up their conversation.
“Of course. According to the Indonesian advocate's code of conduct, an advocate is not allowed to teach and or influence witnesses. But, if viewed from the law on advocates, an advocate cannot be prosecuted either civil or criminal in carrying out his professional duties in good faith for the defense of his client. And so far, what it does shows a good faith.”
“Not that only happens in the conference?”
“No. According to the ruling of the MK a few years ago, it applies in and out of court.”
“Wah, it's nice to understand this law, yes,” tejo chirps.
“Only, I am still suspicious of you. If you knew that lawyer had a good analysis, why didn't you let it unfold in court? Events like this remain at great risk. If the lawyer is examined and tried by the honorary board of the advocate organization, he is definitely in danger of being fired from the membership of the organization.”
Abi did not answer and smiled. No one knows that yesterday, while talking to Roy, without the prosecutor realizing it, he was confirming Roy's involvement in several cases that befell his father's company. Of course, it wasn't just Roy cheating. His father's lawyer must be involved, too. Ironically, one of those lawyers has now served as an honorary board member of the advocate organization.
And last night Abi sent some ‘eye sign’ for him.
