The Three Chosen
92. Cooperation
After Rima briefed the police on who killed Abin, the police moved quickly. They went to Rima's parents' house to arrest Mursal and his three friends.
When the police came to the house of Rima's parents happened to be Mursal and his three friends were not in place because they were assigned to escort the delivery of cows to the East Jakarta area. Since Rima was pregnant and no longer in college, Rima's father did assign Mursal to other parts because Rima no longer needed an escort.
“ What is this, why are there so many Policemen here.?” ask Rima's father who just arrived from out of town.
“ Sorry Sir, We came to pick up Brother Mursal. Here's his arrest warrant..” said a police officer while handing over an envelope containing an arrest warrant for Mursal.
“ Wait, I mean Mr. Mursal Police was involved in the murder of Abin who was a thug of that market.?” ask Rima's father.
“ Right Sir..,” Police.
“ But it's not possible sir. Mursal I told escort My Son Rima 24 hours and he might not have time to kill the Abin...” said Rima's father trying to defend his men.
“ But We found some evidence of Mursal's involvement with the death of the victim Sir. Including a report from Sister Rima who said if ever heard the confession of Mursal and his three friends if they had killed Abin.Pak.
Rima's father seemed to hold in his wrath. He turned his head when he saw Rima coming out of his room and walking towards him with her stomach bulging.
“ Father, what is this..?” rima asked while holding her big belly.
“ Is it true that you have made a report to the Police if Mursal who killed the Abin breng*k was Rima..?” ask Rima's father.
“ Yes Well, it was I who reported to the Police yesterday.
“ You do not carelessly report dong Rima. See what the consequences are, now Mr. Police is coming to arrest Mursal and his friend because of your report..,” said Rima's father did not like.
“ I ain't careless Well. They have killed Abin, the father of my son.”, said Rima while rubbing his stomach.
“ Do not ngaco You Rima..!” said Rima's father loudly.
“ I'm not ngaco Well. I heard Mursal and his three friends talking about Abin's murder.
They mukulin Abin, continue to bind Abin and throw him into the river from the bridge.” Rima said with tears imagining the suffering of the man he loved during the sakaratul death.
Rima's father fell silent. He did not expect that his trusted personal guards could commit crimes by killing the life of the man who impregnated Rima in a cruel way.
“ Good is the Police Officer. At the moment Mursal is being assigned to escort the shipment of cows. Maybe he'll be back tonight. Or if Mr. Police want, I can give you the address of the cows delivery..,” said Rima's father.
“ Second option is better Sir. But We beg your cooperation not to inform us of Our arrival here. Later members We will follow to this address and some stay here to supervise.” said the policeman who was taken by Rima's father.
After receiving the address given by Rima's father, the police immediately chased Mursal and partly guarded around Rima's father's house.

After going through a long drama, Mursal was finally captured on his way back to Rima's father's house. Mursal had denied the police allegations, but when the police gave evidence of his involvement Mursal could not avoid.
Then Mursal told anyone involved in Abin's murder. And easily the police managed to subdue all three of Mursal's friends without a fight.
When they were interrogated by the police, Mursal answered the most because he was the mastermind of the heinous act.
“ What's your reason for doing that..?” ask police.
“ Disrespecting how, they do it on the basis of liking equally like. So it can't be called harassment.” said the police.
“ I was upset when Abin told Non Rima to have an abortion, sir. Even though I am a woman who has had an abortion will be difficult to have a child in the future. Anyway what I heard about abortion is painful sir. I do not want Abin to hurt Non Rima, so I took the initiative to teach him a lesson.” Mursal said.
“ Don't-don't you like Rima. So your action was done on the basis of jealousy and heartache, so..?” ask police.
“ Yes Sir, I do love Non Rima...,” said Mursal shrieked while bowing his head.
Mursal's reply left Rima and her father shocked. Those who deliberately saw the interrogation process directly did not expect if Mursal had feelings of love for Rima.
“ But it can not be done justification of your action takes the life of others Mursal..!” police said.
“ I know I was wrong Sir, I am ready to take responsibility..,” said Mursal firmly.
“ Well. I hope your cooperative attitude can reduce your sentence later.”, said the police while ending the interrogation session at that time.
Mursal was silent and did not answer. When he was taken back to the cell, Mursal no longer spoke. While Rima looked stunned with a face wet with tears.

After successfully helping find Abin's body frame sandwiched between two stones, Faiq now helps mediate Abin's ghost with Rima. Fatur and Hanako were also present to support Rima.
“ He's here Brother..,” whispered Hanako.
“ Which side...?” rima asked with a trembling voice.
“ Exactly in front of Brother. He also squirmed towards Big Brother and his hands extended to Big Brother's stomach. Maybe he wants to say hello to his son..,” Hanako said.
“ Yes Allah..,” said Rima while shedding tears.
Abin's ghost looks at Rima in love. He regretted making the woman sad and cry. Abin's ghost reached out her hand to touch Rima's stomach as if to greet her baby in Rima's womb.
“ Sorry I Rima...,” said ghost Abin lirih while rubbing Rima's face and then switch to rub Rima's stomach.
Rima seemed to close his eyes trying to absorb Abin's touch. Rima felt a soft and warm wind coming down her face then turned to her stomach. Very comfortable and soothing. Rima could not help but cry because she believed Abin had touched her face and stomach.
“ Abin..., why did you leave. I'm sorry I didn't give you a chance at that time. But I was just pissed off for a second. Why did you go and not fight for Me and Our Children.?” ask Rima.
“ Maafin I'm Rima. I'm a bod*h because you've had an abortion. Excuse me. Maybe it's a punishment for me for always throwing away my son from a lot of women before you. God was angry and punished me. I felt a great pain when my body was thrown from the bridge. At that time I realized how sick innocent children were when I threw away. How painful their Mother felt when I did not want to take responsibility and forced them to have an abortion.”, said the ghost of Abin while shedding tears.
“ But it feels like I can't be sure raising this child alone Abin..,” muttered Rima while soaking in tears.
“ You can definitely Rima, You are a strong woman. You are great...,” said the ghost of Abin is encouraging.
Suddenly Rima had another contraction. But this time it is no longer a false contraction as before, but rather a contraction because the baby's head has entered the birth canal. Fatur and Faiq swiftly lifted Rima's body and fled to the Hospital. Hanako also faithfully accompanied Rima who appeared to be in pain due to contractions before giving birth until they arrived at the Hospital.
Abin's ghost who took Rima to the Hospital was only able to look compassionately at Rima who was crying and screaming because she could not withstand the pain.
