The Steel-Cared Rose
The guided Death

Dean and Sinta are in jail. Dean with allegations of sexual harassment while Sinta with allegations of abuse of power.

Dean's father went berserk on his son. His mother painstakingly endured her father's anger.

"Look at this son of a bitch! Can't hold back his lust at all. Look what he did to our family!"

"Well! He's our son. This must be his wife not taking care of our son!"

"You can be a mother, don't spoil your child! Look at your son's actions and you still dare to blame Sinta? If it wasn't for Sinta, our company would have gone out of business. You know how business competes?"

"But he's your son. Your flesh-blood!"

"Must test the dna! I can't believe this demon boy is my son!"

"You're accusing me of cheating?"

"You always spoil him. You ruined it!"

"Dad! I-i'm sorry! I'll make amends."

"How will you make amends? You don't see how your wife took the trouble to finish school, start her artistic career and reach her current position? He's the one protecting this family."

"Dad! I'm sorry!"

"You never obey! You already know that your wife is the head of the area. You lead the company. Everyone will look for your faults and weaknesses. Why don't you obey me?"

Dugm! Dean's father punched his son.

"Don'tnnnnn!!!" Dean's mother screamed hysterically at the sight of her son.

"You're really mean! You're not human!" Her mother Dean scolded her husband, "I conceived her nine months and gave birth to her at the risk of my life and death. You're just gonna torture him."

"You're not the only woman in the world who gets pregnant and gives birth but they can educate their child well."

"Please, don't be cruel to her. Have pity, your son."

"He has destroyed everything. Our family business is threatened when Sinta is removed from office. You think you can lead the company if the company doesn't exist? Bankrupt! How do you support this family?"

"Dad! I-i'm sorry! I've let you down."

"Well! Me and my lawyer are looking for a way to deal with everything." Sinta opened her voice. 

Since he served as the head of the region, his two in-laws especially his father-in-law changed drastically to him.

Moreover, he can do his job very well while being able to protect his father-in-law's company.

Since taking office, Sinta has made many arrangements and curbs.

Organize everything with proportional. Set incentives. Regulate local revenue more efficiently. 

The reception is very well arranged. Organize all his affairs in a proportional and wise manner.

Organize cooperation neatly and regularly.

Prioritize their work. Solve all problems according to the portion. 

Weigh all problems wisely.

Organize and manage the source of funds very well because without good management skills it is impossible for all affairs to be carried out properly.

Supervising and organizing all community services can run well and smoothly.

Of course, not all rejoice in this especially those who do not like all such arrangements and bring a number of consequences.

He also solved the complexities of problems in various fields and services.

Fulfill all their rights so that no one can intimidate each other.

Of course, one could imagine how many enemies were eyeing him.

As Dean said, his heart was made of steel so he barely budged against everything he had to face.

His company-in-law is also one of the companies that always help him in serving the community.

If he had not helped her from bankruptcy then the money that would have been spent on the same services would have been much greater. 

His job is not easy and stressful. He is grateful to have people who are very supportive and also help ease his very heavy duties and responsibilities.

"What's your lawyer saying?"

"He's been researching his case. Words against word."

"Sorry dad! But that's the term. Words against words. The plaintiff has no direct evidence."

"What do you mean direct evidence?"

"Witnesses who saw or knew the incident, the results of the visa, the recording of cctv or sound."

"They are in the hotel room of course there is no cctv in the room."

"The results of the cctv recording, showing the two of them registering in the lobby in a drunken state. Walk up to the elevator, get out of the elevator and into the room and all drunk."

"You mean, the lawsuit is based solely on the woman's testimony? Can the victim testify?"

"could. But a single testimony is very hard to accept if there is no evidence to support it."

"What do you mean? You don't be kinky. Is your husband in jail or not?"

"Depends on the evidence that accompanies."

"Can you speak more clearly?"

"Not all cases of sexual harassment are acceptable, especially if there is no direct evidence. Unless the victim is numerous and concerned is indeed known as a sexual predator almost certainly can not avoid but in the case of Dean, words against words the odds are 50:50."

"You mean, your husband's chances of going to jail are 50 percent and that depends on the evidence."

"Yes, yeah…."

"What about your own case?"

"The possibility of me going to jail for using that extra budget is indisputable but I'm trying to defend myself by filing circumstantial evidence."

"You're saying the judge is already in the hands of the other party?"

"really. My lawyer and I will use mass and social media to influence public opinion."

"What do you mean influence public opinion? Isn't that okay?"

"Affecting the judge, especially to drive it also should not be. Instead, by influencing society it is expected that there is some kind of social control. Equilibration. The offense I committed was due to a previous violation but of course this I have to prove and account for. I'll work with my lawyers, private detectives and journalists."

"It seems you're ready to face it all?"

"Other choices? I am grateful to have a solid team and support each other. Without them I can't do anything."

"Well, it's all new your assumptions and predictions but what's our current condition?"

"Very bad."

"What do you mean very bad?"

"Dean is in prison. Chances are I'll go to jail and dad's company will go bankrupt because I have to give back the funds I gave dad to cope with the repair work of dad's company. Some of the projects I'm going to give my father's company are being diverted to your competitor's company."

Dean's father held his heart.

"Well!" Her mother-in-law shouted.

"Dad!" Dean carries his father's body.

"Dad, I'm sorry!" Sinta regretted revealing the true circumstances to her father-in-law but they were all not well.

He does have a number of plans but their effectiveness?

It was all just beginning and he couldn't be sure how all this business would end.

Dean's father was rushed to the hospital for treatment for his heart.

Dean's mother cried all the way and in the hospital saw her husband's condition.

"Defend, dad! Everything's gonna be fine. Don't think too much."

Sinta clasped her father-in-law's hand, "I promise everything will be fine, dad!"

Dean's father shook his head. 

Dean clasped his father's other hand.

"Dad, leave everything to God!"

Dean's father nodded his head. Clear details melted from both corners of his eyes.
