The Love of the Captain
Tangled Yarn

"Sir, I noticed it looks like the white double cabin car is following us from the moment we left, am I parno huh?" said Fajar while occasionally paying attention to the rearview mirror looking at the double cabin car that was far behind him but still visible in his rear view and Fajar felt that the car was following them since from the capital.

Arjuna looked back, he remembered something, as he went to the old man's kiosk with Sigit it seemed like he saw the car among the crowd of many citizens who saw the Parman suicide, then when he went to the hospital to see Bela twice also seemed to see the car in the hospital parking lot not far from his car, he had not been so attentive to just looking at the traffic, nor were the places he visited public places so all of that in it felt very reasonable.

But after hearing his aide's words just now it seemed like he was starting to harbor the same suspicion on the white car.

"Ah, fuck!" muttered Arjuna.

"Why brother?" Fajr turned his head towards his superior who was sitting right beside him.

"It looks like I'm starting to lose focus, good thing you told me, it looks like the car has been following me for a long time, changing events, finding the nearest hotel, we're staying tonight." Arjuna suddenly changed his previous plan.

This is not new to Dawn, the boss is known in a thousand ways, there is always a plan A and plan B when carrying out a mission, so all will not be fixed on one plan, he said, everything can change at any time.

Finally a few hundred meters from there they found a hotel that was not too luxurious, but seemed quite comfortable, he said, the distance to Parman's hometown is still about two hours away by car, so Arjuna decided to stop there first.

"Sister, the car is in the parking lot as well" Fajar said as his eyes continued to head out the window, Arjuna deliberately asked for a room facing the parking lot, so that he can observe what happens outside the hotel that is not too big, from the window of the room he rented can see the loter parking that is not too wide.

"How many people?"

"That goes down and into two people and that's in one man's car." Teranmg Dawn.

"Have you checked the license plate?"

"Not listed, it looks like a fake." Fajar replied while composing a smart phone in his hand, Arjuna's aide this one is indeed in addition to being observant in handling cases, he is also very good at anything that deals with IT, and he is also very good at anything that deals with IT, so Arjuna was very happy and satisfied with the performance of Dawn who could always help his work.

"I will continue the journey alone, you stay here to outwit them, after my business is done, I will come back here and come back with you, he said, let me know every move that's going on here." Arjuna carried his small backpack to take away.

"What's up, brother?"

"I've contacted one of my acquaintance's police officers, he'll pick me up at the end of the road, he'll lend me the patrol motor."

"Okay, be careful."

Dawn really knows the portion and position, he fully trusts Arjuna if he can carry out his plan, because his duty at the hotel is very important, too, he must be able to control the situation at the hotel and make sure that the passengers of the white car are not aware of Arjuna's departure from there.

"Tomorrow afternoon I'll come back here" said Arjuna after changing clothes with jeans and a black leather jacket, of course, do not forget the hat and mask meeting to trick people who might be scouting at this time.

All goes according to plan, Arjuna was able to get out of the hotel that night through the side door of the hotel without anyone suspicious, the officer in contact with Arjuna also willingly loaned his patrol motorbike without much to ask anything, he did not want to be stamped presumptuous because many asked the affairs of a high-ranking officer like Arjuna, as a mediocre member he is already quite happy and proud to be able to help Arjuna.

The journey to Parman's hometown was only an hour and a half away by motorbike, armed with a search application and destination instructions on his phone he was finally able to reach the village which is quite far from the city center.

The directional application stopped in front of a house quite large, although not luxurious, but the home page was very spacious, the building was also quite sturdy and decent, and the building was also very spacious, there was a pick up car and two motor matic units were also parked in the yard of the house.

Arjuna was stunned for a while to see the house, not the intention to shrink, it's just that it was Parman's house, not he was wrapped up in debt and economic difficulties so decided to end his life? Not to mention their residence in the capital city could also be said to be very simple and not even feasible.

"Who's the cop looking for?" Asked a young mother who seemed to be going to the field for carrying agricultural equipment in her hands that morning, she was intrigued to ask the foreign figure who was riding a patrol motorcycle but looked like that confusion, he said, such is the village, they are always friendly to anyone.

"Sorry, is that really Parman's house?" Arjuna pointed towards the spacious house.

"Accident?" paro Arjuna made sure he didn't hear wrong.

"Yes, said Miss Marni he died because he was hit, even his body was buried in the city is not brought here."

"Oo, I don't even know about Mr. Parman's accident, thanks for the information ma'am, and it's a vehicle that is used by Mr. Parman, right?" arjuna Fishing.

"Ah yes, that's Pak Parman's vehicle, used when returning home, there is one truck also to transport crops to the city." Clearly again. "Usually every two weeks Mr. Parman comes home to check the rice fields and gardens, then share the basic food with the citizens, especially after this pandemic the help is very meaningful for us, now the residents will feel lost," abugn.

No matter how long it takes, though, a man Arjuna still remembered was the young parking attendant who gave him a small note on the money roll out of the house that was identified as Parman's.

"That--?"

"Oh, that's the future father-in-law of Mr. Parman, his fiance Ira the eldest son of Mr. Parman, his name is Rendi, he also used to drive the truck of Mr. Parman, the village next door."

"Good ma'am thank you, I'm sorry."

Without wasting any more time Arjuna directly hit his motorbike to the yard of the house approaching Rendi.

Seeing a stranger enter and approach him the young man intends to return to the house, but Arjuna immediately calls out to him.

"Rendi, we need to talk!" arjuna stopped the young man's steps.

"Put your motor into the garage!" said the man pointing at a room beside the spacious house, the man's eyes continued to move to and fro looking around, like he was afraid that someone might come into contact with him.

"Why did you give me that text message?"

"Because my heart tells me you're an honest cop." The answer.

They were now talking beside the house, on a long wooden chair.

"Where do you know I'm a cop?" Arjuna.

"From the sticker on your car, I was just guessing, but it turns out it's true, the proof is now that you're here on a police patrol motorcycle." The answer again, though it sounds silly.

"What happened to Mr. Parman?"

"My future parents-in-law were killed, his wife and children were also threatened not to talk to anyone, we were not even allowed to return to the city."

"Who did it and why?"

"I don't know for sure who killed him, it's just that Mr. Parman couldn't have killed himself, I saw some big tall, slap-faced people coming out of the stall and screaming for help to say that Mr. Parman killed himself." Sort it with teary eyes.

"Who's threatening you?"

"Some of the thugs went straight to my mother's house, and threatened her, when I came in and said I was going to report them to the police, they just laughed at me and said that the police wouldn't be able to do anything, sure enough when I reported to the nearest police they rejected my report on the grounds that I made up no witnesses, even though many witnessed them threatening mothers at home, they were closing their eyes and ears."

"Okay, just stay here for a while until everything is safe, don't be rash and just follow them first, for the safety of all of you, this matter let me learn and I investigate, I'm asking for your number and please don't talk about this to anyone, including our current meeting." That was all Arjuna could tell the young man named Rendi, at least he could already slightly parse out this tangled thread-like problem.
