“Come, why so slow?”
Indira shouted at Rama who was still limping because he endured the pain in his stomach. The wound caused by his brother had not healed properly. And for information, the wound was getting worse because he ran away from the police who were guarding him in the hospital.
“Rama is still in pain. Don't force Rama to fast-track.”
“But, if we are not fast, that person will leave soon,” Indira replied.
Impatiently seeing the slowness of Rama, Indira pulled the man's arm until he cried out in pain.
“Had Rama said, Rama just wait in the car,” he said while welding.
“Cannot. You know him, whereas I don't.”
“Lho, hasn't Big Brother ever met her?”
Indira smiled wryly as she shrugged her shoulders and said, “That time of night, I could not see her face clearly.”
What they mean is Rinjani. Yes, their investigation this time needed help from Rinjani because of her connection to the person they wanted to meet. According to information from Abi, that person was the one who was supposed to talk to Mischa sometime before Abi came to her house.
Considering their only encounter is when Rinjani kisses Abi aggressively, Indira feels awkward facing her alone. For that, he needed Rama to accompany him.
“By the way, where can Abi know Mischa's schedule of activities? Though his own manager who said that day Mischa's schedule of activities that day was empty because he wanted to train for the preparation of film auditions from abroad.”
“Entah,” answered Rama because he was busy with enduring the pain in his stomach that began to recur.
Aware Rama did not care about it, Indira stopped talking and focused on finding Rinjani. He said on the phone before Indira and Rama left earlier, he was following gotong royong activities cleaning the city park while promoting the name of the Milky Way.
“Wah, a lot of them,” said Indira when he saw the many people who were cleaning the city park by wearing T-shirts with pictures of the Milky Way. “Luckily I'm taking you. Now, it's your job to find where he is.”
While enduring the pain, Rama took his eyes to every corner of the park. Because he never found it, he became doubtful whether he really still remembered Rinjani's face. Understandably, it had been a year that he had not met the woman.
“Rama! What are you doing here?”
The voice of a woman from behind surprised Rama. The voice was familiar to her ears, but it was not Rinjani's voice. After realizing who the owner of the voice was, Rama began to fear. He turned his face back with a feeling of worry and when he found the owner of the voice, his knees suddenly limp.
“Sister Regina?!”
Regina was already standing while smiling at Rama. Then, he realized there was an unfavorable aura around him. Sure enough, he saw a woman staring at him sharply as if about to pounce on him. The woman he knew as Abi's lawyer was named Indira. The two of them also threw sharp glances at each other.
“What are you guys doing here?” ask Regina ketus. Actually, he never spoke to Rama as soon as he considered Rama like his own brother. He just doesn't like the existence of Indira.
“Eh, only visit friends. Coincidentally, he is here,” replied Rama while grinning. He could feel the hostility between the two women before him.
“Who? Which one is the guy? Is your friend related to the Abi case?”
“Not your business,” Indira said.
Since Regina decided to contradict Abi, she automatically considered Indira who was Abi's legal advisor as her opponent. While Indira has considered Regina as his opponent since he knew the closeness of the woman with Abi.
“O yes, how is the wound on your stomach? Already healed?” regina asked Rama again, but with eyes fixed on Indira.
Rama's speech stopped because Indira suddenly covered her mouth with a palm. His face was very worried because something that should not be said by Rama, he said.
“Why? You guys are surprised I know about that wound?”
Indira's face grew pale, followed by Rama who finally realized he had made a mistake. If Regina knows about the wound in Rama's stomach, it means she also knows about what they have done in the hospital with Abi a while ago.

They still look at each other. There was a tense atmosphere between them. In Indira's mind there was only one question that repeatedly resonated in her head, ‘How did this arrogant woman know of the incident?’
“Hei, Ram! What are you doing here?”
Another woman's voice sounded from one corner of the park. Rinjani was waving her hand at Rama with a happy face. Then, he immediately ran over.
“Ka, Brother Rinjani,” said Rama with a nervous tone.
“Why are you such a frightened person?” rinjani asked confusedly. His eyes turned towards Indira. “Lho, weren't you the woman Abi was with that night and -”
Again Indira had to cover the mouth of others with his palm. Although not too familiar, he had to do it against Rinjani. His eyes glanced at Regina as if he wanted to tell her the reason for the spontaneous action.
“Oh, you arrogant polwan who is always sticky on Abi's side without feeling shy, huh?”
Without Rama and Indira guessing, Rinjani immediately hit the war drums in front of Regina. Now the two of them were staring at each other with an even more gloomy aura.
“Ah, apparently you're that woman.”
This is not their first meeting. One year ago, Rinjani accompanied Abi to meet with Regina to report about their suspicions over the engineering of Kerinci's death. They were pretty sure Kerinci was killed, not killed himself. Regina declined to follow up on their report because the results of the examination were already out and said clearly that there were no signs of violence and it was pure suicide.
At that time, Rinjani to curse Regina and all the police with the dog call the rich. He also spit in front of Regina. If there was no Abi there, they might have been brawled.
Thus, it was only natural that right now they were still harboring hatred for each other.
“Their formula you have now become ‘anjing’nya the rich as well, yes?” tease Regina while pointing at the face of the Milky Way in Rinjani's shirt.
“Does a smart woman like you not be able to tell which dogs are, and which teams are successful?”
Regina was silent for a moment. He realized that as a policeman, he should not make unnecessary noise.
“Alright, we don't have to fight. I just wanted to meet your employer,” said Regina who apparently couldn't bear to not give the sarcastic words.
“You mean, Milky Way? I don't know. I'm just a successful team, not the nanny,” said Rinjani still with a ketus tone.
Regina realized that it was in vain to expect an answer from the woman. He decided to leave the place and ask someone else.
“Rama, I'll talk to you later. I know you're a good person and I know if you're lying, so you better not cover anything from me.”
Then, Regina passed away without leaving any words of surprise, especially for Indira and Rinjani. Rama could only see and mutter in his heart
Bang Abi said, No women no crime.
