When the Inca became the Inca
26
Bik Marni's body was seen trembling when she heard the tone of the Inca's unusual voice and gaze. He kept his head down and clenched his lips tightly. Kanigara and Niskala noticed a different Inca expression when looking at the middle-aged women who had worked dozens of years in their residence.
Kanigara actually wanted to ask about Seila who was sitting on the floor with handcuffed hands and a disheveled face that was looking cynically at the wife, but Kanigara would get all the answers after the Inca successfully interrogated Bik Marni. He felt that his wife knew what he was doing because Niskala, who was beside him, was sitting quietly watching the interaction between the Inca and Bik Marni.
"I asked once Bik Marni, what's wrong with all this? I know for a fact that my aunt knows something about what happened in the dining room!" The insanity made Bik Marni even more afraid. Tears bathed his face that looked increasingly old.
"Ma..., I'm sorry, Young Madam! I don't mean to risk my life, ma'am! Sa..., I just want revenge for the death of my son!" said Bik Marni who was crying and sitting on the floor. Bik Marni tells the story of her daughter Susan who fell in love with Kanigara since she was in high school. Susan used to invite Bik Marni to work at the Janu family residence every school holiday. Susan's encounter, which accidentally bumps into Kanigara as she heads out of the Janu family residence, brings the seeds of love into the young girl's heart.
At that time Leticia also often played to the Janu family residence and met with Susan for several times. Leticia who knows Susan's unusual gaze to Kanigara, jealous and often bully the daughter of Bik Marni. Leticia even met Susan while she was at school and paid some delinquents at school to harass the poor girl.
Bik Marni who did not know about the matter experienced by her daughter was just plain ordinary. Just weeks before the heartbreaking incident that her family had to go through, Bik Marni discovers that Susan's school uniform was torn in parts. Susan reasoned that that afternoon they were suddenly asked to work together to clean the school area and her clothes were stuck with tree branches so that they were torn. Bik Marni suspects the princess's explanation, but she chooses not to dispute it further because Susan insists that she has been honest.
"Su..., my Susan, committed suicide because she was**the son of Leticia's delinquent, Nyo..., Young Madam!" shouted Bik Marni hysterically which made the person who was in the room surprised. Inca's legs felt limp for a moment, her eyes were pushy and tears involuntarily flowed from her cheeks. The poor girl left behind only a letter of apology that she addressed to her mother for choosing to end her life.
"Ja..., so Susan didn't die of Bik's illness?" niskala asked after waking up from her shock.
"En.., not the First Young Master.... My beautiful daughter was forced to leave this world and me because of the cruel actions of a Leticia Aru! The father of the demonic woman covered everything so well that there was no room for a poor family like us to defend ourselves." Bik Marni beat her tight chest. Kanigara lost her words, she was so shaken to hear Bik Marni.
"Second Young Master, your face made my daughter feel hell in her youth, therefore I hate that face! I don't want happiness to come into your life! But it turns out you are blessed with a wife who is so sweet and kind. I don't want to hurt a young lady, but I know she is one of the sources of your happiness. YOU AND THE DEMONIC WOMAN HAVE NO RIGHT TO BE HAPPY!" Bik Marni stared at the hateful Kanigara that made Kanigara stunned.
Seila who was there laughed out loud which made everyone in the room look at her.
"Poor sister Marni!!!"
Inka crouched down in front of Seila and let out a terrifying grin that made Seila speechless.
"By missing the moon! A psycho woman who takes advantage of a mother's revenge to launch her bully plan. YOU SHAMELESS SHAMELESS!" The hard slap of the Inca landed several times on Seila's cheeks which made handprints and redness, as well as blood adorning the young girl's face.

Shortly after, sirens from police cars were heard entering the Janu family residence. Gianna was seen running into the residence with several policemen.
"You're a gapapa, son?" gianna carefully examined the condition of the Inca. Inka only shook his head weakly, while staring at the sad face of Bik Marni who was handcuffed by one of the police who was there. The Inca asked for a moment to talk to Bik Marni.
He felt a deep pain, because this time he could not save Bik Marni even with a different reason. As for Seila she had no clear picture in the past, as the once jolly sweet girl had stopped working from the Janu family residence two months before the death of the Inca.
A stifling atmosphere of silence ensued at the residence after police took Seila and Bik Marni. Niskala, Kanigara, Inca and Gianna followed the police car to be questioned about the recent incident at the Janu family residence.

Three hours later the Incas, Kanigara, Niskala and Gianna arrived at the Janu family residence.
"We need to speak with four eyes, you have to explain everything in detail now, baby!" firmly Kanigara while looking at the tired face of the wife. Inka nodded and looked resigned because she could no longer dodge this time.
"Actually I also just found out, because Rima who was not intentional writhing Bik Marni entered something into my drink this morning. Trus I don't intentionally give my tea to Leticia," said Inka with a regretful tone. He cannot be honest with Kanigara because he is still not sure of the husband's intentions to him. The Inca tried to convince Kanigara and Niskala to trust his alibi.
"Without Seila?" search Kanigara.
"She was with Bik Marni that morning!" said a short Inca while looking at the husband closely. Kanigara tries to investigate the wife through the girl's eyes. And he was sure the Inca were not lying at all. In the end Niskala asked Inca and Gianna to rest, while he invited Kanigara into his study.

"Why are you lying to Kanigara and Kak Ganteng?" gianna asked after they were both in the room.
"I don't lie, I just don't explain everything in detail," said Inka relaxed and told the findings of Rima this morning. Gianna did not believe that her best friend became a thin-brained girl in her second life even though since the rise of the Inca, the girl did not stop surprising Gianna with all her achievements so far.
"So how do you know if Leticia came today, son?" ask Gianna curious.
Inka laughed then patted Gianna on the shoulder casually.
"Suppose it is a pleasant coincidence and I use it as best I can. Shouldn't a good player know when to defend or attack, my dear?!"
