The Tears of Mella
Chapters. 19. Meetings

While at the place of General Pranoto, now a small meeting is being held to handle the next hearing. They have to win the case, whatever it takes.

"Our general must buy a witness who is willing to explain that you are innocent but indeed Mr. Aaron is at fault" the lawyer suggested.

"I thought so, but who is it?" replied the General.

"Aaron's father's own family and his close friends" the lawyer replied with confidence.

General Pranoto was silent for a moment, then nodded as a sign that he also agreed with the lawyer's proposal.

"Tomorrow to meet Mr. Aaron's brother, give him a great reward to testify that the suicide bombing carried out by Mr. Aaron, has been planned for a long time."

"Tell them also, as long as they want to cooperate then their security will be guaranteed, edge if instead wait and see how I will settle them" said General Pranoto of his confidants.

"You take it easy, boss, leave this duty to us" he replied arrogantly.

"Good, then how is the development and movement of that smelly girl?" he asked again.

"So far Mella has not been seen doing any outside activities. He was more in his house and there was no one to see him."

"Since that time, he was shunned by his family and friends. And the policeman named Della is now busy taking care of his own problems." replied his confidant General Pranoto briefly.

If every time Mella was in her house where did she get so much evidence and witnesses ? who is behind this girl ?.

I need to know before it's too late. The person who helped Mella must not be a random person. The proof is that he knows a lot about me.

Or is there actually one of my enemies behind the girl ? Then I should be careful.

"Try to find out who's behind the girl, I suspect one of my enemies is helping her."

"Whether it's my professional friend or my business enemy. I'll find out that information soon. Give your people whether they are in the black world or vice versa." General Pranoto ordered.

"You are right ! the person who helped the little girl must be the one who has been your rival" said the lawyer.

"It's proven, the girl can know everything you do. He even got a video inside that courtroom."

The lawyer paused for a moment thinking how could Mella get such a tape ? they were in the courtroom.

Does anyone really want General Pranoto to step down ? But there was not a single person whose rivals existed or attended the trial process at that time." the inner lawyer tried to analyze the situation.

The same is true of what General Pranoto thought. He is also thinking about every possibility that could happen.

He tried to remember everyone present at the trial, but all present were his supporters. Or is there an enemy in the blanket ?. His mind started flying everywhere trying to guess every possibility.

"Or is there not an enemy in the blanket between us?" said General Pranoto and the lawyer simultaneously.

Making his men and his confidants look at each other. They try to digest what their boss says.

"And send a woman to be art at the girl's house, so we can listen and know what's going on in the house." suggested the lawyer.

"Where can he pay for an art ?" chirps General Pranoto.

"If you don't think about it, the girl has a car, while her parents are still alive it's impossible to afford it." replied the lawyer.

"Boss, how about we send a homeless boy ? the girl must have felt sorry for the fate of a child who has no one and nothing." proposed confidant General Pranoto.

The general then flicked his finger, engraved a smile on his face. Why such a simple thing did not cross his mind.

"Tomorrow to send the boy to Mella's house. Choose from the kids we've worked with and he's trustworthy."

"And for tonight we close our doors. And for you make sure our goods reach the destination safely. I don't want to hear failure so I'm losing big." Said General Pranoto while pointing at one of his men.

After that they all disperse and return to their respective places. And prepare everything that is needed.

And into the next day they carried out their respective duties, as discussed last night.

One of them came, a slum where so many homeless children lived.

Soon the man called his partner and explained his intention and purpose of coming to the place.

After talking for a while, he finally returned with a daughter who was five years younger than Mella.

Then the man immediately took her and headed to the headquarters to do a training and briefing, so that the teenager did nothing wrong.

Once considered enough, they finally drove him to Mella's house. And from a distance not far away the boy was taken down from the car and greeted by the bald man who had been waiting for them.

The little girl walked towards Mella's house. And he saw on the porch of the house there was a little boy who was curled up to sleep.

Yes, a vagrant child like himself was curled up on the porch, which he believed was not sleeping because of drowsiness but because it held hunger.

Just like he experienced before, but now after he joined General Pranoto..He no longer experiences that.

He can eat with fullness and sleep comfortably as long as he wants to carry out his orders. The little girl tried to open the gate that was only made of bamboo.

It is not a gate but a bamboo fence. But like any effort he did not necessarily make him able to open it what else can enter.

"Why can't I open this fence ? what makes this fence so difficult to open. "the inner girl.

But he kept trying to open it. But even though all the ways he has used but still does not produce results.

The bamboo fence still firmly protects Mella's house, as if reluctant to shift because it does not want to cause problems that are new to Mella.
