The Three Chosen
66. Desiree Terror
Mr. Scoot was puzzled to see many reporters in front of the police station. Mr. Scoot and his assistant suspect that there was a major case that the police were handling at the time. But as the reporters turned to him and chased after him, Mr. Scoot began to suspect.
“ Why are they chasing me, are the perpetrators involved with the death of my Son important.?” mr. Scoot asked the police when he got away from the reporters.
“ I'll get the answer in a minute. Please enter the room..” said the police while directing Mr. Scoot to a room where there was already a man being interrogated by the police.
Darta who was in the room turned her head and smiled at Mr. Scoot.
“ Let's please enter Mr. Scoot. Well, this is the person I said yesterday.” Darta said as she showed the man she was interrogating to Mr. Scoot.
“ You...?!” said Mr. Scoot half-screaming.
“ Yes Sir. Forgive me...,” said Hendrik shirih as he reached for Mr. Scoot's hand.
Mr. Scoot is pecking on the spot. He looks shocked and can not believe if the person who had made Desiree died is his own fiancee, the man he chose to marry Desiree. A moment later Mr. Scoot regained his senses and immediately brushed off Hendrik's hand violently. He recalled how Hendrik's parents cut off their relationship just like that when his daughter disappeared. The words spoken also made Mr. Scoot very offended and angry.
“ I don't want to believe this, but I'm sure the police won't get caught wrong. I...,” remarks Mr. Scoot interrupted as his body slumped to the floor. Luckily Darta quickly caught the body of Mr. Scoot to not fall to the floor.
“ Take Mr. Scoot to the clinic immediately.” Darta orders on his men.
Two police officers and assistant to Mr. Scoot immediately took the unconscious Mr. Scoot to a clinic not far from the police station.
\=====
It rained heavily on the city that night. The police station was suddenly in an uproar because of the arrival of Hendrik the mayor when the clock showed at eleven p.m. The police thought Hendrik had come with a number of defamation reports, as was common with one official. But the police were surprised because Hendrik came to turn himself in without a lawyer.
Darta who was still in the office immediately welcomed Hendrik's goodwill and immediately prepared the necessary files. It just so happened that there were Faiq and Heru who were also visiting there.
“ I want to turn myself in and admit my mistakes. I am the one who made Desiree die a dozen years ago.” said Hendrik suddenly to make the police on duty was silent in disbelief.
“ Good, We will prepare the file for a moment. Please Mr. Hendrik sit here..” said Darta break the silence while inviting Hendrik to sit in a chair.
“ But Sir, are you not wrong.?” ask the police carefully.
“ Do your job...,” said Darta firmly to the surprise of her colleague.
“ Well Sir...,” sahut the police then began to carry out his duties.
Interrogations were also conducted. Faiq and Heru who saw the rare event in front of his eyes began to discuss what really happened.
“ What happened Bang. How, can he give himself rich gini..?” ask Heru while whispering.
“ She's tired..,” says Faiq.
“ Tired to get here. To the spa dong or the cake pusher.” said Heru while sneering to make Darta and Faiq smile.
“ He is tired of being terrorized continuously same ghost Desiree. So far no one knows if Hendrik experienced insomnia at night. Not because of the heavy workload as a Mayor, but because it is disturbed by the same ghost Desiree. Desiree's ghost often comes to haunt her and it goes back a dozen years. Even Hendrik had to consume liquor in order to sleep and forget all the crimes he did first.” said Faiq at length.
“ Oh so...,” says Heru and Darta together.
There, a policeman asked Hendrik why he admitted his mistake and turned himself in to the police station.
“ I ga strong continuously terrorized the same ghost Desiree...,” said Hendrik honestly.
“ Ok, sorry. If you can know how the ghost of Desiree terrorizes you..?” ask the police.
Hendrik paused for a moment and took a deep breath. Next came the story from his lips.
Desiree comes at any time without notice. When it comes is usually characterized by the fragrance of perfume that Desiree likes, fragrant and soft. But slowly the scent faded and changed with a foul smell along with the chilling cold air around him.
Then Desiree will appear before Hendrik who is completing his duties in various forms. For example, lying naked on the floor with blood that pools it. The pale face and tangled hair became the complement, just as when Hendrik saw his body for the last time.
Sometimes Desiree's moaning sound was accompanied by a scream that stopped in Hendrik's ear and shocked him. If it is like that usually Hendrik will close both ears while begging the ghost Desiree stop screaming.
“ Don't.., don't do that. Forgive Me Hendrik..!” desiree's ghost screams in Hendrik's ear.
“ Stop Desiree...!” said Hendrik angry while looking for the whereabouts of Desiree's ghost.
“ Keep talking, because I won't stop..,” say voice without form, just like what Hendrik said when he asked Hendrik to stop the action first.
Or else another time Hendrik will see the ghost of Desiree standing with a half-swallow body**ng near the window. The index finger where his sliced hand appeared to be raised and pointed right at Hendrik as if he was marking the man as the next target. Her unraveling blonde hair covered part of her face with blood-red eyes.
“ Sometimes he comes to interrupt when I'm in a meeting with my staff. He would stand next to me and then start dyeing the water in my glass with blood flowing from the slices on his wrists. Only the water I drank was red while the others remained clear. You think I'm crazy, but you can ask my staff if you don't believe me.” said Hendrik in a trembling voice.
“ Ghost Desiree even stayed in the workspace with a seductive look to make the staff and guests misunderstand. They think you brought a mistress to the office and did something that was not supposed to be there.” said Faiq added to make Hendrik turned his head.
“ That's right. He also made moaning noises that made others misunderstand. I.., I'm embarrassed but don't know how to stop it...,” said Hendrik riled.
“ He has also made the household relationship Mr. was on the edge..,” whispered Faiq in Hendrik's ear to make Hendrik surprised and embarrassed.
“ You know a lot about this. Can you help me escape from the ghost pursuit of Desiree..?” asked Hendrik expectantly.
“ God willing I can help as long as you are willing to account for everything in front of the law.” said Faiq.
“ Yes. You see me here now. Is this not enough as a guarantee.?” ask Hendrik.
“ I can only help after the verdict has been handed down for you..,” said Faiq.
“ Good. I concur. Please help me...” said Hendrik again while holding Faiq's hand.
“ Insha Allah..,” said Faiq while nodding.
“ Thank you...,” said Hendrik while smiling in relief.
“ Equally...,” sahut Faiq.
Then Hendrik continued the interrogation until Mr. Scoot came and met him. Heru who was standing beside Faiq was curious about the attitude of his brother-in-law.
“ Why Do You Wait for the verdict of all Bang..?” ask Heru.
“ Usually people forget the same promise if already served in a certain position, although not all rich that. I don't want Hendrik to forget, so I want to see his sincerity first. Some rich criminals he doesn't deserve to serve as mayor. He deserves to be in jail to make amends first.” said Faiq relaxed.
Heru and Darta smiled at Faiq's words. Although Hendrik has admitted his mistake, but the task of Faiq still continues.
