Revenge By Law's
ARTICLE 91

Man 0608 still gawking hearing the words of Abi. He did not expect that Abi had secretly known his true identity. Then why didn't he say it?

“Since when did you know it?”

“Stupid! When you were arrested and your arrest was broadcast on national television, we accidentally watched you. Mama grumbled and scolded you. After I asked her who Andika Alexander was, why she hated you so much and why our last names were the same, she told me that you were the one who gave me my name. Abhimanyu Ananta Alexander. 10-year-old children must immediately realize that it means Andika Alexander is a man who used to be abandoned by mama because of her stupidity.”

“Isn't that a cool name? It is shortened to AAA. At first it was just Abhimanyu Alexander. But, because I really like Pramoedya Ananta Toer, so I added Ananta in the middle. Unfortunately, the media only mentions Abhimanyu Alexander,” said the man 0608 whose real name is Andika Alexander was trying to divert the topic about ‘abandoned’.

“AAA? Whatisit? You think I'm battery?” Abi shows his furious face to Andika and goes up to her bed.

“Come on, since you already know everything, shouldn't we familiarize ourselves as usual by father and son?”

“I told you, you're not my father. You were never present in my life.”

“What is the definition of a real father? Then, that garbage man in New Batavia is your father? Isn't he present in your life every day since you were born? Yes, even if only to take the trash from your house.”

Abi's head stuck out suddenly, making Andika surprised. “How do you know Atuk the garbage man? You been investigating us all this time? But, you never met, let alone took care of us? If I could choose, I would choose Atuk as my father.”

Andika waver to hear the words of Abi. He tried to correct his words so as not to arise misunderstood, but Abi's head was no longer stuck out. Abi returned to his sleeping position.

“Pardon dad, uh, papa.” Andika thought for a moment, looking for a better call for herself. “If papi, sounds like a puppy. It is good that Abi, let it be strange. But her nickname is Abi. How about daddy? Sounds modern and cool, anyway. What's daddy, huh?”

“There's no point in you thinking that. Until anytime, I am reluctant to consider you my parents,” said Abi who is not comfortable hearing Andika's inner conflict regarding the call for her.

“Colah. All this time I didn't want to abandon you. It was Jenny, uh, your mama who always denied me. It also took me years to find out that you guys lived in that localization and your mom became, well, you know.”

“I don't need clarification from you. To be sure, all this time you have never been in my life and it is difficult if suddenly you show up and tell me to accept you as if nothing happened.”

Andika took a long breath. It seemed, for now, talking to Abi would not take them anywhere. He won't consider him a father anytime soon. Abi of course bequeaths the stubbornness of her and her mother. So, he turned to another method to at least familiarize himself with his biological children, namely bargaining.

“Alright, now tell me what you want to investigate in this yard. As the most important person because he has been here for decades, of course I know a lot of information about this page.”

Abi's head came back nongol with his curious face.

“How did you know I was here to investigate something?”

“Of course. You turned down my lawyer's help to wait for the bumbling woman's lawyer. What outcome? You and he kind of put themselves in to get a tough verdict. I also know, after meeting with my lawyer, you realized that I was watching you and still had enough power despite being in prison. You must have guessed that I arranged for you to be imprisoned here so that I could be close to you.”

Abi said nothing. He just nodded as if admiring the analytical skills of his biological father.

“Tell me. Believe me, I am on your side and whoever your opponent is my opponent is also,” continued Andika with a smile full of determination.

“Alright then.” Finally Abi got out of bed and now they face each other. “For now, I just want to know what Mr. Jireh has done in this place.”

Suddenly the determined smile on Andika's face vanished when she heard the name coming out of her son's mouth.

Twenty-seven years ago

“ Anyway, I want you guys to find out the whereabouts of Geni's mother!”

Kiswanto was one of the few members to get the order from Lieutenant Colonel Andika Alexander. Mother Geni in question is the wife of the superior, with the full name Anggraini Lenggo Geni.

According to the story that was circulated, the woman ran away from Lieutenant Colonel Andika for the sake of another man. However, most people do not believe it. They believe Geni's mother ran away because of the rudeness of the letkol.

Initially, his wife's departure did not affect his life. He focused on his career in the military. However, when his ambition to pin an asterisk on his shoulder was imminent, he was plagued by issues related to his personal problems. The absence of a wife will complicate the improvement of his career.

The letkol panicked. The rules forbid him to marry more than one woman. The law also forbade him to divorce his wife. If he wanted to marry another woman, he would have to show her his wife's death certificate.

So, there are two alternatives that he wants to achieve. First, return Geni's mother to his side. Second, if Geni refuses, the woman must change her identity and let Lieutenant Colonel Andika make a death certificate on her behalf and give assurances if one day will not dispute it.

For that, the first step he had to do was to find the woman first. Apparently, it wasn't as easy as he thought. For more than a year, no results were seen.

As a result, from day to day the letkol increasingly pressure his men. One of the depressed ones is Kiswanto. He worked very hard for that task. He has been searching in various places. All the hotels, hospitals, houses of worship and various places commonly visited by people who fled have been visited. But the woman did not find him.

He did not imagine at all when he would enter the army first, with hard training, study hard and enough money, he would end up with the task of finding someone's wife.

On the advice of his colleague, he chose to comfort himself for a moment. Localization was a place that sounded fun to him. So, he decided to visit a famous place in the city where his friend lived, called Batavia Baru.

Like his guess, he managed to release his stress well. He and his friend chose a new cafe that is more prominent than other cafes. There, the atmosphere is very friendly. The servants are beautiful and friendly

 “Choose one,” said his friend was referring to those servants.

Kiswanto is very enthusiastic. He scrutinized the servants one by one, from the dsri qajah to his appearance. Finally, the choice falls on a woman with minimalist makeup but still looks beautiful. He also felt close to the woman, for whatever reason.

His friend called the woman and conveyed their intentions. The woman agreed and began to sit next to Kiswanto to accompany him to a drink.

“What's the name, Dek?” ask Kiswanto who has started to get drunk.

“Jenny, Bang.”

Kiswanto scrunched his forehead, like something was bothering his heart after hearing the name.

Jennys? Why am I sick of hearing that name, huh?

Suddenly his eyes widened when he realized something. In a hurry he reached into his pocket and took a photo. Alternately and repeatedly, he saw the photo and the woman named Jenny who was in front of him.

Not wrong anymore. They are the same women.
