THE WOMAN (END)
•200

I saw Sandy still walking towards her parked car.

"Mas Sandy, wait!" call me half yelling.

Sandy stopped her steps, but did not want to look at me. I walked quickly to get close to him.

"Buck,.. Do you believe in all of Bu Ayu's accusations against me?" ask her even in a soft voice.

Sandy sighed deeply and turned and looked at me.

"I just need time to accept all the facts" he replied

I looked at him in disbelief.The answer was as if he did believe Bu Ayu's accusation against me.

"So did Sandy believe it?!" I shook weakly.

"You think it's wrong if I believe? Aunty is guilty of trying to hurt my mom and dad, but I still can't believe that our late husband was involved. Moreover, maybe you know everything, too -" she murmured.

"Buck...!" I hold her both hands tightly.

"I'm sorry My eyebrows.I'm just confused" he continued, turning his face away from me.

I bowed in a frenzy. Yeah, of course, I can't force Sandy to trust me completely either. I don't have any proof even though I'm telling the truth that I don't know about this.

"Mas, it looks like I can prove that I wasn't involved at all." I was determined to remember something.

Sandy looked at me unsure.

"What do you mean?!" tanyany suspected.

"Follow me up!" I pulled his hand into the car.

•••

Upon arrival at the old house, I asked Sandy to come down immediately.

"Why should we come here?" asked Sandy was so curious because I had no intention of answering her since.

"There is something that might be the answer to Sandy's doubts to me" I explained then got off the car followed by Sandy shortly after.

The condition of the house looks lonely. Bi Susi seemed to be in the backyard.All we saw was Mr. Muh's car parked in the garage.

"I don't want things to get any more messed up. If I'm involved, there's evidence. And vice versa." I insisted as I walked towards Bu Ayu's room.

"Open up, man" I asked Sandy to open the door to her Tante's room.

Sandy seemed hesitant, maybe she still didn't understand what I was trying to show.

"Let's open the door!" my insistence.

Slowly Sandy opened the door that was accidentally not in the key.

We both pushed into a room that was very large and dominated by the golden color.

The room still looks very neat.Maybe Bi Susi just cleaned it up.

"What do you want to show me exactly?!" ask Sandy.

I reached into the bag to take my wallet. photos that some time ago made me not calm still tucked neatly in it.

"Mas Sandy look at this! I found it right under that table" I showed you a picture of Bu Ayu and Mas Rizal.

Mas Sandy stared at the photo for a long time and then pulled it roughly out of my hand, maybe she couldn't believe what she saw either.

"When I saw this thing fall, I also heard mom talking to someone on the phone.Their chat was very suspicious" I explained again.

"What else do you know?" tannya

"Bu Ayu moved a file from inside that shelf.the file that might be related to this photo is also mas."

Hearing that Sandy immediately glanced around her. Likewise with me who is trying to find where the file is. is it possible that Ayu ma'am has hidden it? my inner.

Mas Sandy walked towards the closet and rummaged through all the contents.

"Where's the file!" muttered Sandy with both hands that did not stop looking.

"Eh, Non Eyebrows are you here? what are you guys doing?" susi's voice made us look at her at the same time.

"Susi, have you cleaned this room?" ask Sandy

"Yes, sir, because Mother called and asked me to throw some items into the trash, he said it was not made" explained Susi.

"Tante called?" muttered mas Sandy was shocked, even though the tantenya had just realized.all of the time he called home and asked Susi to clean everything up.

"Don't!" I looked at Sandy suspiciously. The two of us immediately headed for the trash can in the backyard.

And sure enough, some used goods seem to accumulate and want to be burned by a cecep mang.

"Mang, wait!" my orders.

Mang cecep looks surprised to hear my voice.

"What's the non?" tanyanya's confused.

"Don't burn it! we want to find something important." Sandy and I are closing in.

We both unpacked the items that were already mixed with the trash. We searched for quite a while and have not found anything.

Until finally, Sandy pulled a file that was buried under dirty clothes.

I stared at it for a long time, and looked at the thing it was picking up, and it looked like the file I saw at the time.

I immediately approached to see what was written in it.

Mas Sandy stared at the file for quite a while before finally opening the sheet by sheet.

"What is this?!" mas Sandy flipped through her courtyard with a look of disbelief.

"Why?"

"It's an employment contract with investors that disappeared a few years ago.it seems like aunty deliberately hid it." explained Sandy.

I was stunned for a moment. In my mind it was unthinkable why Bu Ayu could do that to his own nephew and also the Hadiwijaya family-owned Company.is not a betrayal. and it feels like what Ayu mom did will not be forgiven. I looked at my husband then. he was still silent, even forgetting what was his main purpose earlier. that is looking for evidence for the crimes of Bu Ayu and Rizal mas.

"Let me see mas" I took some files from his hand.

We both looked at the contents of all those files. Honestly, Sandy and I did not think there were many big things that Ayu was hiding.

Starting from the assets of the company that is hidden and in the transfer of hands since a few years ago, maybe since Sandy's parents are still there. Bu Ayu has done just that.

And what struck me was the employment contract I found between Mr. Broto and Bu Ayu about a piece of news they had deliberately hidden to clear Bu Ayu's name.

"What is this mas?" I'll show you the file.

Sandy took it and looked at it carefully.

"It turns out it's true what I'm guessing, they've both been conspiring all this time.they want to master ASTRA and take me down." - his grunts were full of emotion.

Maybe all this time Sandy already knew about it, only she did not have strong evidence.so she was not too surprised to see the files.

"Try Sandy's check inside that brown envelope!" point me at an envelope in the bottom fold.

Sandy kept some of her files and switched to the brown envelope she was holding.

I hope that Bu Ayu's accusation against my late husband is not true, but even if it is true, I hope there is real evidence for all their crimes.

"Bad! they did!" mad at Sandy while schematizing the paper.

"Why?!" I looked at Sandy confused.

Sandy looked back at me with a grim face and teary eyes.

"They killed papa and mama" he exclaimed.

Sandy must have found evidence of that. Then what now? Did he blame me for his crimes?
