The Shadow of the Former
Just have a weapon to threaten
The next day Mrs Berta was already , preparing to go to a restaurant when the apartment bell rang.
"who ?" berta asked who opened her wooden door, while the iron trellis door was still closed by her.
"How do you know me again ?" ask a man whose age may be one or two years older than her.
"Have we met ?" said Berta.
"We used to meet a lot, I used to work on the signal and CCTV at the top where you sell" said the man if not mistakenly named Ismail.
"Are you Ishmael?" ask lady Berta.
"Yes, can I really go in ?" ask Berta.
"What do you need ?" ask Berta.
"There's something important I want to tell you about the CCTV and the footage of the crash at the top" Ismail said, leaving Berta shocked.
"Well please go in." said Berta immediately opened the door of his trellis then he closed the door of the wood as well .
"please sit down !"
"What do you drink ?" ask Berta.
"a glass of coffee" said Ismail.
Berta immediately went into the kitchen, and shortly afterwards he came out carrying a small tray of warm coffee.
"please drink, and what your purpose is, I have business" Berta said.
"i kept CCTV footage that was in your shop when, you and Madame Angi were planning a murder, and at that time indeed Madame Angi asked me to exterminate her , but I still keep the Hardisk, I annihilate the other Hardisk not the one in the heart of it" said Ismail.
"Then, what do you want ?" ask Berta calmly.
"if you want to blackmail me for that, you should have been wrong, you blackmailed Miss Angi" said Berta, who tried to guess what Ismail wanted.
"Actually since a long time ago, I liked you, but at that time I still had a wife ."
"I don't have time for that Ismail please come out ?" said Mrs Berta.
"Listen to me Berta I've been looking for you for a long time, I know all about you and you're in control of Mrs Angi because she had a video of you damaging Mr. Hendrawan's car that caused the fatal accident" Ismail said.
"I came to help you, out of all that ?" said Ismail.
"Do you think if I threatened him with it I wouldn't go in it ?" said Madame Berta.
"I know that you, actually also want to tell the truth, but you'll go to jail yourself, if you have this video I can help you be your witness, I know it would also be risky for me but at least we don't live in the shadow of guilt" Ismail said.
"Why are you in prison for this, hiding evidence of a crime ?" bertha looked at Ishmael.
It is true that Berta also had feelings for the man, but he dashed those feelings when he found out, if Ishmael was married, he said, they had been familiar a few months before the accident and finally Berta chose to close his stall.
He was like in the shadow of the faces of the two masters of Hendrawan because they ate together there with mistress Angi.
A few years later he also learned that Ishmael's wife left while giving birth to a daughter for him ,it was difficult to get back into a relationship but on the edge of that feeling was afraid if the crime was exposed and he would trouble others, Berta also chose to live alone because of it.
"Then what are your plans." asked Berta.
"You can admit your guilt and I think you have enough money to hire a lawyer to defend you, maybe if you plead guilty you get 10-20 years in prison ,being the mastermind or intellectual actor of murder planning can be life or death sentence, of course you can escape from guilt and from the entrapment of Madam Angi" said Ismail.
" Well, I will consider it" said Madame Berta.
"This is my phone number" said Ismail.
"If you accept me to be your lover, when I go out of prison I want to marry you" Ismail said
made Madame Angi almost choke while drinking her tea.
"Aren't you drunk saying that ?" ask Berta.
"I have never touched a drink you know myself nor did I smoke I am fully aware that until now I still have feelings of love for you" Ismail said honestly .
Berta looked into Ishmael's eyes, the feeling was indeed not hidden, whether it was not too late to establish a relationship let alone, that their lives were on the edge.
"We'll see later, I'm also not young anymore Ismail if it is true later I, confess my mistake, I'm not young, maybe when I got out of prison I was 65 years old if my judge's decision was 15 years in prison, my age is now 49 years old" said Berta staring nanar forward.
"The incident happened almost 15 years ago and there was nothing he was wrong about it, ms Angi has also paid several people to cover up the case and announced that the case was a purely car accident, even if I didn't admit it, I wouldn't be in jail, but Angi used the video to threaten me and ask me to do another deal that I didn't agree to" Mrs Berta said.
"I have to lie and confess that her son is my son, in order to be betrothed to Mr. Hendrawan and of course with the reason if he has children then he will be the heir to the property of Mr. Atmanegara, you know my soul is very depressed about it." berta's word began to confide with Ismail.
"It's a shame that the plan failed because his son had become pregnant with his lover and did not want to marry or be married to Mr. Hendrawan who was very strict discipline and very cold" said Berta.
"Today I will ask for and collect his promise that he will buy me or set up a restaurant for me, it is also good that you give me a video clip of how he ordered and planned the murder, then he can also I threaten with it, if he does not want of course we will go to jail together, both, all this time I just kept quiet because I was always afraid that the incident would be reported by him" Berta said smiling bitterly.
"But this time, I already have the same weapon to threaten him" Berta said.
"How much money do you want for that video ?" ask Berta.
"For a while you can , give some to me, give some to me, I'm still working but it doesn't take much but when this case wants you to report you have to compensate enough for my son while I'm in prison and can't make a living for him" Ismail said.
"I don't mean to blackmail 'em, I'm just thinking about my responsibility as a father if I have to get dragged into this case, I hope you understand Berta" Ismail said.
"Yes .I know of course I think about it, I also do not have any treasure for me no longer peting, wait for a while we are ." said Berta then stood in the room .
"Here's the money and send me the cut of the video" said Berta handed me a brown envelope containing several million dollars .
"I'll just send via bluetooth, give me your phone" said Ismail .
quickly send the video to Berta's phone.
"Well, I'll tell you about the continuation, I'll take an appointment to Miss Angi if she doesn't want to then be prepared to open the case" Berta said.
"Alright, then excuse me." replied Ismail .
Berta and Ismail then stood up from his seat and stepped out, Berta preparing to his car while Ishmael went home.
