Transmigration: The Promise of Echoes
CHAPTER 16 ~ CCTV ~

It was the fifth day since the explosion at the Tiwi-managed mini SME. Lastri still feels lazy if you have to go there. But a short message from Tiwi he could not ignore. Tiwi needs a shipment to maintain the mini PKS project.

With lazy Lastri heat up truck engine. He wants to come back soon to finish his breakfast with Murni and Gya. In the middle of the road, Pastri saw Armen, he said hello to Armen, "Tumben on Monday, why is it still here?"

"Udah quit my job Las!"

"Lho, just found out!"

"It was a long time ago!"

"Never say?" Lastri was a little surprised Armen suddenly became a secretive person, "not even a story last night?"

"Temme!"

"Why should you be ashamed?'

Armen was asked that question. Lastri didn't want to force him too much. Armen looks very sad.

"Men, you come with me today!" Lastri meant to cheer up Armen.

"Where?"

"Send the fruit, Work!"

"Seriously?"

"Fastly ready, leave for breakfast!"

Armen has been on the left side of the truck. Yes, he became a passenger or could be a tight knuckle if something happened to the vehicle he was riding. Lastri remained as his driver. 

That doesn't seem to make Armen comfortable. But how else, Armen must accept that condition. Because he is not very good at driving cars, especially trucks.

Lastri was well aware of that. Not so many men can drive a truck. For that Lastri recommends that Armen pay attention to himself first and practice if there is an opportunity in free time.

"Actually I can bring a car," said Armen.

"How much can it be?"

"Lumayan, I've also brought an office car!"

"Got permission?'

"No, yeah!" armen replied "all know the office driver!"

"Oh that?" Lastri chuckled as she turned towards Armen. 

"Yes, often if again the service outside the city!"

Lastri understands that happens often. The paths in their area could be said to be notoriously deserted. Along the way are more rubber gardens located beside the right and left side of the road. 

Poor road conditions and holes make drivers tired faster. It seems like the condition is used by employees like Armen to practice the steering wheel of a car. Or increase flight hours for those who can.

"You'll try to get this truck back later!"

"Totally?"

"Yes, if it's empty and it's not raining!"

"Ma love Las!"

They arrived at the site of the garden belonging to the partner of Lastri who was harvesting. Armen was directly introduced to Wagiso and Jono. The father and son who were the driving force of the dodos workers team that Lastri believed in. 

Most of them are already Armen knows, even if only the name. Because he designed their harvest schedule. Detail the optimal time and amount of labor in each area of their partner's farm. Also the equipment they wear, its type and character. 

Armen can do that because he is often assigned his old bank. Which does have a focus on lending in agriculture and plantations. Armen used to be sent by his office to do a direct field check. 

While working at the bank, Armen has the task of providing business assessments and guarantees owned by prospective loan customers. The Armen report is used to measure business feasibility. Including when Lastri made a loan transfer process last year.

Lastri said that their cargo this time will be sent to mini PKS. Armen was excited to hear that. Because for the first time he will make a visit to the mini PKS that Pastri often tells. He was very curious about the workings, machinery and structure of the mini-type palm oil mill building.

During this time Armen only know and have seen firsthand is a large-size factory owned by the corporation. In addition, he also wanted to see the location of the work accident that had made a scene last week directly. Yes, the news was read in the newspaper provided to customers in his office.

"It's great this Si Om truck!"

"You mean?"

"Yes, Comfort!"

"You're the seventh person to ever say that!"

"The power too!" Armen is trying to be a little different.

"Ntar you try to bring it up when it's empty!"

"Ready Ndan!"

Armen doesn't complain much under a woman's leadership. He lived alone with his mother. He has great respect for the tough women he once knew. And he will soon meet with Tiwi, another tough woman.

If in the mini PKS where Tiwi works, Lastri never experienced a queue in unloading. Because only Lastri is someone who has the courage to send fruit there. When parking the truck, Lastri can see how the second boiler is being used to replace the boiler that exploded the other day.

As usual after unloading Lastri meet Tiwi in the room. As for Armen left to skate in the area of the modest factory. Lastri assigns a task to Armen to find out things that may have missed or not Lastri made attention. 

"How's your son doing, healthy?"

"Gee? Be healthy!"

"Good!"

"Are production normal again?"

"Normal weld, there will be a backup steam boiler!"

"I mean to the village champ?"

"Oh so!"

"Well, Las, I may be strong!"

There was basically Tiwi saying that. The small-scale palm oil mill was deliberately established as a form of government care. Especially the ministry related to agriculture and industry.

They had appointed Tiwi to be there. If it is not protected to the fullest, it may be able to survive. While local community leaders alone toppled in the face of pressure from the Red Lori group.

Lastri nods the head of the sign he understands the explanation of Tiwi. He also got word that Tiwi was a confidant of the joint authorized ministry. Not surprisingly, because the mini PKS that Tiwi manages is an official pilot project from the government.

"Wi, what about his family?"

"Not to be discussed, all just wait for the central decision!"

"They ask for money, don't they?

"Have you offered, Lastri?"

"Continue?"

"Still in consideration he said!"

"Can't that be it?"

"Wahid, his uncle still wants to go to the law!"

"Oh, how are you?"

"I've all moved on to the center!" tiwi replied, "it is important that everything in the mini PKS is in accordance with the procedure!"

Tiwi's description made Lastri a relief. Tosi, despite being so evil, still has a family that loves him. Lastri himself had sliced when he saw Tosi's body closed a sheet of mat yesterday first. Apparently Lastri who looks hard on the outside is included in the type of person who is easy to forgive. 

"Las, you want to see the CCTV footage"

"CCTV what?"

"Recording before the explosion yesterday!"

"Important?"

*You value it yourself! tiwi said persuading Lastri once more, "want ya?"

Tiwi turned her laptop screen towards Lastri. Then he showed me a black and white film from CCTV footage. Tiwi explained that the footage was obtained from a team of police IT experts.

"Did you see Las?"

"Yes I see!"

Lastri's eyes were so watchful. He could see clearly what Tiwi, his business partner, wanted to show. Lastri saw a shadow or silhouette of a woman dressed as a school uniform. 

The shadow Lastri must admit is very similar to his posture. Or rather his posture when he was in school two years ago. Lastri just watched the tape. He tried not to show emotion, until he knew very well Tiwi's reaction.

"Do you believe ghosts aren't Las?"

"Credible to not trust Wi!"

"Yes!" Then Tiwi laughed out loud.

At the end of the meeting Lastri introduced Armen to Tiwi. Lastri jokingly said that Armen was the finance director at his palm fruit delivery company. And Armen is tired of being a bank clerk who takes care of credit worthiness.

Tiwi laughs listen to the clumsiness of the female chum as well as her partner. At the same time, it is no wonder why Lastri is able to protect himself from the offers he gives. At the end of the conversation Tiwi tried to ask Armen to direct Lastri to focus more on the palm oil mill he managed.

"So why did you quit your job?"

"I was asked to the main branch!"

"Aren't you going?"

"Yes!"

"Why?"

"My mother didn't want to come, wanted to die at home she said!"

Lastri. Not the answer from Armen that made him silent and pensive. If about it he had heard it several times from Bu Kotjo. The video of the CCTV footage that was the burden of his thinking.

How can it fit his posture. His grudge was able to turn into a shadowy figure that came out of his body as he fainted. It's totally absurd Lastri thought inwardly.

"Men, would you like to try to take it?"

"Maybe?"

"It can be empty!"

"Where should I start?"

"Here it is, let me waist it first!"

Lastri shut down the truck engine. Then sit quietly. He's just waiting for Armen's reaction. 

Armen came down from the left door of the car. He wants to take the helm from Lastri. What a different event when he was still working. 

At that time he only needed to shuffle into the driver's seat. While the office driver will go down to change positions. Lastri shifted her seat to the passenger side.

From looking at the neutral gears and turning the keys, Lastri was sure that Armen could drive the car. Distant on what was once displayed by Ryo, the eagle eye. They seem nervous and lack confidence.

Armen just drove the truck for two kilometers. However, Lastri has dared to make a conclusion if Armen can bring the truck safely to the house. Lastri began to rethink the shadow tape. Is it real or just an edit.
