Revenge By Law's
ARTICLE 65

“So, this is what you mean by enjoying a moment of freedom?”

Indira could only look at Abi who was lying relaxed on the sofa of her house. Aunt Jenny, who was a nurse, had just checked and put some medicine on her wound.

“Not. But I'm gonna need a lot of energy to do it. So, I have to make sure this wound won't hamper later.”

“Say you miss the posters in your room. You were in for too long and when you came out, you kept smiling.”

Abi's face flushed. What Indira said was very true, but he had other things to deny it. He issued an ID card with his picture.

“I'm long for looking for this and smiling for finding this,” Abi said. “I used to be an office boy there under a pseudonym and because of the whole office boy and girl there from an outsourcing company, so the employees and security guards there rarely recognized our faces. They just checked our ID card.”

“Wah, you are great too,” praise Indira while clapping. “But you must be long in the room for greeting your posters.”

Abi did not answer again because he knew Indira would definitely attack him again. The woman holds her biggest secret and she can't fight back. Not because he felt wrong or less insistent, but because he did not want GFriend or Eunha to be made a joke to mock him.

“If considering you run away to have to hurt your own stomach, you should regret having ‘deny’ to be free, even though you have a chance for it,” said Indira. Abi is aware that they have not completely settled their dispute due to the final trial.

“I'm sorry for the incident back then. I -”

“No need. You also apologized at that time. You said you should stay in jail because you're after a very dangerous man. In fact, you don't care if you lose this case and get jailed for a long time, and maybe this will affect my reputation as a lawyer.”

“About it, I -”

“Now you have to say, who is that very dangerous person?”

Abi just fell silent. He is still not ready to mention the name of Mr. Jireh as dangerous to Indira. Especially after the assistant of the mysterious man came to Indira.

“I will definitely tell you if the time is right.”

“Now is the right time. No eavesdroppers, no guards.”

Abi pretended not to hear and closed his eyes as if he had fallen asleep, making Indira even more upset.

“If you don't want to tell him, I'll find out for myself. Easy, just start the investigation from Benjiro,” said Indira while glancing at Abi, who still closed his eyes. “If not, I will reveal the cause of Mischa's death so that you will be released from prison immediately. You think only you know.”

Hearing Indira's last words, Abi sat down and glared at her eyes. “You already know? From where?”

“There, deh.”

Abi narrowed his eyes and frowned as if he was thinking hard. Then he smiled and said, “Takaykau you know.”

Indira could not bear to lie any longer and finally he claimed not to know. “But I can make you free. I won't let you ruin my reputation as a lawyer.”

“You just officially won two easy cases, namely my mother's case and Alya's case. Your reputation as a lawyer is still too small to be destroyed.”

Without Abi expecting, Indira threw a sofa pillow to his face until Abi's nose was painful.

“O yes, talk about Alya, I feel something strange,” Indira said.

“White why?”

“Maybe he escaped because scapegoated company.”

“No, his name was not at all dragged by the company's case. If he escaped, he should have called or brought his wife and children. But he just disappeared without a trace.”

Abi has a bad feeling for Raditya Lesmana. Was his act of sending some PARADISE-related documents to Abi known to Lord Jireh?

“Don't lose him relate to the dangerous guy you said it was. Who exactly is he?” indira asked which made Abi surprised, as if the woman could read her mind.

“I told you, not yet,” said Abi who closed her eyes again.

“So, we will go to PT office. Laras Jaya Karya now?” tanya Indira tried to shift the topic. He knew their conversation would be bad because Abi would not answer his question about the dangerous man.

“Not now, but later,” said Abi. “There are places I should visit.”

The building is not far from Abi's house, only a few blocks apart. Every time he saw the building, he remembered two things: his childhood and his difficult time when he had just come out of prison fifteen years ago.

Abi pushed the door of the building. He saw the room in it did not change much compared to when he last went in there a few years ago.

He walked slowly down the gap between the rows of chairs towards an altar. There was one person present in his head at the moment, that was a white-haired old man who was always smiling under any circumstances. The man usually stood at the altar and delivered his sermon in a heartwarming voice. People always call him Reverend Billy.

“You're remembering the old man?”

A voice surprised Abi. He looked for the source of the voice and found a woman in her early forties smiling with a lit cigarette tucked between her fingers. The woman knew Abi and knew that Abi should be in prison. But, he was not surprised at all. As if he already knew.

“Yes, kind old man who let a bastard like you stay in this church.”

Abi knew the woman. Everyone knows her name is Siti V, although no one knows the abbreviation of the letter V. He was a former member of a mafia gang. Thirteen years ago he was almost killed for slandering. Fortunately, Billy saved her and hid her for a few weeks in the church. In the end, he is proven innocent and the gang wants him back. But, he refused and chose to leave the gang and live as a servant of God..

Incidentally, he is very good at playing keyboard instruments. Ever since pastor Billy baptized him, he has always been a church musician. In fact, when the good-natured man died three years ago and was replaced by a bad pastor so many congregations were lazy to worship there, Siti V remained faithful. Of course, he wasn't really loyal. There is a hidden motivation behind it.

“Do not be arrogant. You, the children of the pel*cur in this localization were also saved his life by the old man. Otherwise, you will just be the scum of society,” the woman said with a mocking smile. “Yes, although in the end your life is only slightly better than garbage.”

That's how women talk since long ago. As hard as pastor Billy and the people around him remind him of his rude and very sharp way of speaking, nothing can change. Until in the end, everyone understood and never hurt again.

“So, what's your purpose for coming? I'm not sure you bother running away from prison just to repent in this church.”

Abi smiles. Of course, Siti V was the main purpose of coming to this place. “I need some information.”

In addition to playing keyboard instruments, Siti V is also proficient in using computer keyboards and smart phones. Ever since he was in the black world, he was a reliable information seeker. Almost all the important information in this city he can find. People used to call him the Diviner. But, since choosing a new life, he changed his name to Siti V so that when his name is called with the addition of the word ‘si’, it will sound like CCTV pronunciation.

Getting out of a mafia gang and living in a church does not make him leave his skills. He continues to work as a freelance information seeker and uses the church mess as his office. People from all walks of life came to use his services. He made a lot of money, but mostly donated it to people in need. That made Billy let it go.

Siti V also taught Abi how to get information from people associated with her torture fifteen years ago and how to store that information in a cloud. No wonder Abi sometimes thinks of him as a teacher.

“What information? Please, interesting information.”

“Definitely interesting,” guarantee Abi. “About someone named mr. Jireh.”
