The Dark Side of a Judge
Chapter 24. The Crisis of Trust
Arjun was instantly silent when he got the question from Makutha. He rubbed his face roughly then leaned his back on the head of the sofa. The man took a deep breath then exhaled it violently.
"That letter, I don't know where it is." Arjun bowed lethargic. His hands are interlocked.
"Lied!" makutha shouted while pounding the table in front of her.
"Tha, I'm not lying! I've already handed everything over to the police who serve as investigators! But, when all the evidence is revealed to the media .. the letter is not shown! It seems like someone is deliberately hiding it!" arjun exclaimed as he rubbed his face rough.
"So, do you think ... is there anyone in this office who is a pro with the Leopard Gang?" makutha asked while narrowing her eyes.
"My estimation is so, Tha. So he could freely destroy the evidence. Especially with the deaths of the two people before. Don't you feel any awkwardness?"
"Then according to Mr. Arjun, who is the one who should be suspected of this?"
"Eitherway. I think ... Farhan?"
"Damn!" murutha while hitting his own thigh.
The handsome judge did not expect Farhan to be that kind of person. In Makutha's eyes, Farhan is an honest cop. He has also helped provide a lot of information, so he can find the perpetrator first than others.
Yes, Makutha and Farhan are secretly investigating the case without anyone else's knowledge. Farhan said the same thing with Arjun. He revealed that he felt that there was an awkwardness at the police station. Therefore, he immediately reported everything related to the death case of Praba to Makutha.
However, there was indeed one thing that Farhan had never discussed. Evidence from the Praba case, the man never discussed it in detail. It was as if Farhan had known more even without valid evidence. He only analyzes a few things and all that leads to Ferdi and Tito.
Makutha is again in a crisis of confidence. Right now he can't trust anyone. Where the person who was really on his side became a blur. But one that he believed in. Ferdi and Tito were on his side.
"I'll see you next time." Makutha got up from the chair then walked towards the door.
When he was about to turn the door lever, Arjun stopped him. "Tha, where are the families of those two people?"
"What is Mr Arjun?" Slowly Makutha turned back.
"We have to protect them. I'm willing to make room for them."
"I've thought about it. Your job now is to keep an eye on the performance of your men. Excuse me." Makutha opened the door to the police station and then exited the room.

The woman felt her stomach cramp. Maudy grimaced when she came out of the bathroom, causing Hasna to panic. The beautiful doctor immediately approached her and asked the condition of the pregnant woman.
"What's wrong with you, Dy?" Hasna approached Maudy while addressing the woman.
"My stomach hurts, Ma'am." Maudy hissing withstanding pain.
"Come, lie down here." Hasna sat Maudy's body and arranged a pillow to lie down.
"It hurts like you feel, Dy?"
"It's so tight my stomach, Ma'am."
"It looks like you're exhausted. Tilt to the left. Wait here a minute, will you?"
Hasna moved from the living room to the kitchen. He put the pot on the stove. Hasna filled the pot with water and then heated it. After the water was warm enough, he put it in a bottle.
"You got a little towel?"
"There's in the bathroom, Ma'am."
Hasna stepped towards the bathroom and returned with a small towel. He wrapped the bottle, then used it to wipe Maudy's stomach.
"How's it?"
"It hurts, Ma'am." Maudy grimaced with pain as she squeezed the edge of the sofa.
Maudy's stomach is getting more painful. No way the woman screams while crying. Hasna kept trying to calm him down. He also contacted Makutha to come immediately.
"Patience, yes, Dy. Makutha's back up."
Hasna and Maudy's panic intensified when they found blood flowing from her birth canal. Maudy felt her stomach heartburn unusually. His face turned pale with cold sweat starting to pour down his forehead.
"Dy, please hold on!"
