The Steel-Cared Rose
Angered

Bram rages not to find Hapsari at the hotel His face is a dead red one portraying his anger.

No one can give him any information about Hapsari. The hotel refused to provide the cctv footage. Blatantly they said they had removed the cctv in question.

Bram vented his anger at the hotel manager. Patiently and politely, the hotel manager responded to his anger.

“Sorry, sir but the cctv recording we were forced to delete at the request of one of the guests we could not name.”

“You're sloppy once!” Bram rampaged but was not responded to by the hotel.

“We will provide compensation.”

“I don't want any compensation. I want the cctv recording!”

The hotel refused Bram's wishes. Bram could do nothing when the hotel threatened to report him to authorities if he could not control his anger.

Bram decided to leave the hotel. Trying to find Hapsari's whereabouts but nil. He lost track of her. Didn't find Hapsari anywhere.

Forced to cancel his planned departure abroad. While trying to find the existence of Hapsari which is like lost swallowed by the earth.

Meanwhile, Hapsari who was at Sinta's house felt more relaxed.

Together with Sinta, Dean and Emier made her feel very comfortable.

One Sunday afternoon as they chatted in the living room. Hapsari intends to tell her what she is going through.

“I thought, it's time I told you what happened.”

“What do you mean?” Sinta asked as she stroked her bulging stomach. Her twin babies made her belly bigger than her usual pregnancies.

On the family table there are fruits. Which became Sinta's snack. Towards her delivery she should start to reduce her heavy eating even though it feels very difficult. Because his stomach is always hungry. Makes her want to always eat.

Instead, outside of his mandatory meals three times a day. He patched his hunger with fruits as well as healthy foods like salads. Whole wheat bread with mushroom cream soup. And other healthy snacks.

“It looks like I'm ready to tell.” Hapsari.

“Alright, we listen.” Dean said.

“After the death of Aunt Helena. I know Bram. Although I don't really know who he is to this day.”

“I don't understand you mean.” Emier. Pouring milk and dipping Oreo into it.

“Bram is not who I am. Not a relative or someone I know. But since Aunt Helena's death I've known her. Since I was five years old until now.”

“Then why didn't you report to your parents?”

“He never did anything bad or anything bad to me. How do I report it? Even he was very nice to me. It's just that I started to suspect him when he booked a room for the both of us. I don't know what his plan is for me. Looks like we'll go somewhere.”

Sinta thought hard. Dean heard Hapsari's story.

“What do you think?” Dean asked Sinta.

“I'll try to find out who Bram is. But how do you know the motive for Hapsari? If he doesn't admit anything. And I don't think he's going to admit anything.”

“Yeah.” Said Dean approving, “can be so he will strike back.”

“Yeah. I'm gonna find out who Bram is. Maybe we can't figure out the motive but it might be palpable. For a while you stayed here first.” Sahut Sinta on Hapsari followed by a nod of Hapsari's head.

Sinta is looking for information about Bram. Gathering information about Bram. Told it to Dean.

“You remember Brian?” Follow Dean on the phone. While researching all the reports about Bram at his desk. In the office where he works.

“Politics working with entrepreneurs to get rid of you?” Dean answered across the phone.

“Bram is Brian's son.”

“Gosh! What does this have to do with Hapsari?”

“Brian has a relationship with Aunt Hapsari. Helena. Died pregnant.”

“I don't understand.”

“Could he take revenge on Helena?”

“What do you mean?”

“Hapsari, Helena's niece? Helena who at that time with her testimony managed to put Brian and Sean into prison.”

“Before they mess things up and obliterate all evidence.”

“Whatever it is. Do you see the relevance? What do you think is the reason Bram has been around Hapsari since Helena's death? Stuck it in the hotel?”

“You want to say Bram is a pedophile? Have you liked Hapsari since the age of five? Why just hold it after adulthood?”

Dean thought for a moment,” yeah...I have to admit, it's not suitable if the reason is Pedophile. If Bram is a pedophile why wait for Hapsari to mature and then hold him?”

“So?”

“I agree with your theory that Bram wants revenge on Helena through Hapsari.”

“I can't have direct proof. I'm not sure Bram will admit it.”

“Possibly he will be on behalf of love for his deeds.”

“It's possible that if he falls in love with Hapsari but that's not the initial motive he approached Hapsari.”

“Yeah. Vengeances. Long-long turn into love.”

“A revenge that fosters love. As well as love wrapped in hatred.” Sinta.

“Will he harm Hapsari?”

“I don't know. We keep Hapsari away before Bram does anything to him. Are we gonna frame him?”

“What do you mean frame him?”

“But at risk on Hapsari safety especially if Bram dark eyes.”

“What do you mean? Explain?”

“We will return Hapsari to her. Watching Hapsari from afar. If we already know clearly the motive and proof. We arrest and bring them to justice based on the evidence we have gathered. Plus the fact he was caught red-handed.”

“Finely, we ask Hapsari.”

“Yeah, you're right. We have to ask Hapsari.”

Hapsari's face showed a look of fear. When Sinta explains who Bram really is.

“Tante Helena put Bram's father in jail?”

“Yeah. Helena also died pregnant. Impressive suicide.”

“If my aunt is killed. Who's the killer?”

“Brian and Sean are a plot. I don't know which of them did it?”

“How do they do it?” Ask Hapsari.

“Good question. They were in prison at the time of Helena's death. Chances are, they hired a hit man or ..”

“Or what?” Hapsari asked with a shudder.

“Bram killed him.”

“What?”

“This asumsiku. I can't access any further about Helena's death. All the data about his death. Confidential. I was not given the competence to access researching the cause of his death.” Sinta said, “ Helena's death killed herself. Not other than that.”

“How? Do you want to frame him or let him go?”

“Will I be safe if I let her go?”

“You think if you meet him again. What will he do?”

“Keep me back and continue his plan to escape me out of the country.”

“So what's your decision?”

“I'll collect evidence of his crimes. His desire to take revenge for the death of his father.”

“Are you ready with the risk?”

“What's the risk?”

“If he kisses our plan. Then he will not hesitate to harm or kill you. Your fate could be the same as yours, Helena.”

“I will as long as it is in his clutches. If I don't try to free myself from his clutches. He could kill me anytime. When she found out that I already knew everything related to my late father and my aunt.”

“Good. If you have decided and resolved. We'll unmask him.”

“Thank you.” Hapsari with a trembling voice.
