“Not passed one day, and you have arrived? Why are you in a hurry?”
“Look sir, if that person hasn't been arrested, we can't calm down because of fear. Just imagine, a thief who lies and is good at deceiving wandering around you, is it not a worry?”
“Pak Anwar, other residents can still be patient waiting
“They are actually scared Sir! They do not dare to say directly to you, but, if you try to come to our village, surely you will know, how worried we.” Anwar cut Abraham's words.
“Good, tomorrow I will come to your place to investigate directly!”
“Me...ididget?”
“Yes! We can't just stand it without an investigation. Now, this already want maghrib, please you guys go home, just wait for the next news.”
“But Sir, all citizens-
“You want to stay here? No problem, there are still many empty ones. How?”
Anwar and Herman looked at each other. Herman shook his head, unwilling to stay in jail.
“Alright sir, we go home
“Good!”
“But we'll come again-
“Oh is not necessary! Because we ourselves will come there. Because my work is still a lot, please just go home if there are no problems to talk about again,” Abraham let the two people to leave immediately.
Anwar is not satisfied. His disappointed eyes were directed at Abraham. But, since he was a policeman in front of him, he was afraid.
“Then, we both per-
“Ridwan! Bring me another report file!” before the two men had finished their wedding, Abraham left them.
‘Basic as hell! So proud!’
Abraham forgot that his wife was still in the workspace. He was at Ridwan's desk while examining other cases.
“They came again Sir?”
“Pake asked again, would you call me out to meet them yourself,” said Abraham as he opened the report sheet.
“Iya sir, but I did not expect that they came just to ask when Mr. Ilham was detained, like impatient.”
“Not ‘like’ anymore, but it is what Anwar wants it.”
‘Sir Abraham, if you have judged like that, it must be true.’
“Tomorrow, Adley and I will go to Pak Ilham area to start investigating, maybe all day I do not come to the office.”
“What if your wife wants to bring you lunch?”
Abraham paused for a moment, “Later I'll talk to him.”
“Any Pak!”

Abraham went into his study.
His wife was sleeping in a wooden chair, folding both hands in front of his chest. His head moved left and right because there was no backrest on his head.
‘And I wanted to send him home, but he slept. Do I wake up?’
Abraham was confused as to what. I couldn't help waking up Bellova. He stood in front of Bellova while watching his wife who was still closed.
‘I want to learn again. I'm ashamed because I'm just a graduate of SD.’
‘I'm the first kid, I have 4 little sisters, I have to work for money so they can go to school’
Abraham recalled the words Bellova had said. The first time they met at a human auction, when Bellova was working at her house, almost everything she remembers.
Ting!
Suddenly a message came in on his phone. Abraham turned his back to Bellova while pulling out the phone in his pants pocket to read the message.
Adley: Mr. Commissioner, I already know who the fireman in Miss Monik's restaurant is. I have footage and some witnesses.
Abraham: Good! How is Miss Monik?
Adley: His condition has improved, not panicking anymore.
Abraham did not reply to Adley's message again, thinking he had enough information. Abraham put the cell phone back in while turning to see Bellova.
“Bram,”
“Shit!!” abraham cried out in surprise. To his surprise, his body spontaneously moved backwards like a jump.
“Sit? Siti?” bellova did not understand.
“Hah...” Abraham sighed, covering his face with one hand and his other hand holding the waist.
“You surprised me Bellova,”
“Pak Commissioner, what's up?” suddenly Ridwan came from entering because he heard a scream from inside.
The three of them looked at each other.
‘What happened to Mr Abraham?’
‘What are they... quarrel?’
“Pak-a
“Out!”
“But Sir-
“What's up?”
“What are you.. quarrel with wife-.
“CK, who's fighting. Already, get out there!”
“So you guys aren't fighting right?”
Abraham was upset because his men did not bully him.
“Alright Sir, I'll be out. I'm relieved, I think you guys had a big fight so I went inside to get a divorce from happening
Plaque!
As Ridwan continues, Abraham hits Ridwan on the shoulder and tells him to leave immediately. Finally, Ridwan went to look back, which turned out that the husband and wife were still watching him.
“Bram surprised? Why?”
‘Pake many more.’
“Because you suddenly woke up, when I saw you a while ago, you were still sleeping soundly.” Abraham saw Bellova's face as if apologizing and regretting.
“Ekhem, are you still sleepy? If you're still sleepy, you just sleep in my chair over there.”
Bellova saw Abraham's soft work chair was black and had a backrest on his head.
“But, you better go home first, if you don't sleep anymore anyway, but if the sleepiness is already unbearable, you can fall asleep for a while there.”
“Mm, I'm not sleepy anymore,” Bellova stands.
“Then I go home, I don't want to interrupt your work.”
“No, no bother. I'll just have Ridwan drive you home.”
“No need, you guys are so busy
“So you want to go home by yourself?”
Bellova nodded with confidence.
Abraham considered it for a moment, “No, you can't go home alone. Let Ridwan drive you!”
“Let's go out,” take Abraham out of his study. Bellova tidied up everything she brought when she came to meet Abraham, one of the food items that had been dirty.
Everyone saw Abraham come out of the room, “Ridwan, please take my wife home,” tell Abraham to Ridwan who was sitting in his chair at the time.
Ridwan standing, “Ready Sir!” he replied firmly while raising his hand beside his head. Because of her loud voice, it was Bellova's turn to be shocked until her shoulders were lifted.
‘Pft, are you surprised Lov? That's how I felt.’

“Whose number is this? Why is there no name?” Irwan saw a call on his phone. New number without name. He hesitated to lift it.
“Hallo?” he finally answered because he kept contacting her.
No noise, just the sound of wind friction.
“Hallo? Who is this?”
“Hallo, Papa,” sound slow and weak from across.
“Angel? Are you Angela?”
“I.. Yes Pa, it's me, Angela.”
“Where are you now? Why can't your number be reached?” Irwan who was in his room woke up and got out of bed when he found out that the one who contacted him was his own daughter.
“Papa, i-i
“Basic child does not know himself! Why do you always make trouble, huh?!”
