Transmigration: The Promise of Echoes
CHAPTER 18 ~ Grief News? ~

Armen lifts the truck into the Pure yard. Just now he's delivering fertilizer to Wagiso. The fertilizer they got from Mulyanto's partners. An employee of the Ministry of Cooperatives and SME industry of the Regency who had met with Lastri.

"That car's coming!" lastri told Gianto, "Please check it out!"

"Thank you Mom!"

Gianto moved forward toward the truck, following two other police officers. Lastri just found out that the other two officers were from the criminal unit. Gianto allowed the two members of the serse to take pictures of the Wasis legacy truck. Wheelwork and wheel tracks on the ground did not escape their observation. Everything the team did was very precise.

The newly arrived Armen could only ask inwardly. What happened until the police came to check the vehicle he was just wearing. Armen felt he had committed no offence.

Armen is more worried if he gets asked about the driver's license. That's for sure he's never had. Armen walked towards Lastri and Gianto stood up. As for Murni being seen with Gya on the veranda of the house.

"Thank you for the cooperation" Gianto told Lastri.

"Ready, Thank you!"

"Please come if asked for the information!"

"Important not to be sudden!"

"We're trying to do ma'am!" Sergei Gianto.

Gianto, followed by two other police officers, left Lastri and Armen. They left by using the car unit of the criminal search unit. Looking at that, Armen wondered more and more in his heart, what things had happened.

Lastri walked towards the house. Armen follows the woman who a week ago has officially become his boss. Armen feels that with the knowledge in the field of law he has, will be able to help Lastri. At least as a philosophical scholar he understood about the philosophy of law.

*What are the cops here for, son?" ask Pure.

"They found Yudi's body in the river!"

"Jews who?" Purely intended to make sure "Judi who is the biological father of Gya?'

"Yes Mom!"

"Kok they can tell right away that it's him?"

"The body is still intact, ma'am, complete!" lastri said, "wallets and other items are still there!"

"Where did he find it?"

"The area on the edge of the swamp, near the water-side plant he said!" 

"If it's a crocodile?" Chirps Armen casually.

In their area there are often crocodiles. From some experiences of victims of crocodile attacks or other causes, often the victim is found intact. The bodies of the victims were more like being hidden by a beast. Experts think it could happen because the crocodile is still full.

"What autopsy have they done?"

"Already, but the final result is not out yet!"

"Why are you a Las suspect?" tanya Murni with eyes blinked while directed to Armen. 

"More precisely witness ma'am!" said Pastri who understands Murni is trying to code "it's okay, Mom, if Armen knows!"

Lastri does not want to keep secret to the person he will give trust as a guardian for his daughter later. The first time we met, when Armen acted as their representative as the host on the day Wasis died. Real Lastri can feel the care and kindness of Armen. 

Not excessive indeed. Armen's sincerity was obtained from Bu Kotjo's late husband. An honest man who can change the stand of a female shaman. Even the notorious shaman becomes an assistant midwife. 

Although Bu Kotjo has been regarded as his own relatives and family. He had also felt his help in giving birth to Gya first. However, Lastri could feel that her mother Armen was a different woman. Not the same as women in general. More mysterious impression.

"Yes, why Las?" Purely very curious.

"Some of you saw Lastri there, Mom, it was very close to the bike that Yudi was staying on!" Lastri said what became the basis of Gianto came to visit them.

Lastri told me the whole story, starting from the point he went to the gold shop, bought a ring for Gya. Then meet Yudi, until the brain of the rape planner suddenly stops him on the way home. But Lastri didn't tell me why and how he fainted. Then realized after being awakened by someone who happened to pass by. 

About Yudi, Lastri told Pure that the man left without knowing why. The motor was intentionally left out. Lastri did not want to open the story of strange events that he experienced. Let it be Lastri analysis himself first.

How suddenly he can fall unconscious, for no reason that he knows for sure. More so if he told me about the incident of the Gya febrile seizure. It will get more confusing, right?

Not to mention the shadowy footage on CCTV. When Tosi died in a steam boiler explosion. Plus the events of Gya's eyeball changes in two different events. But it still has the same end of events. The death of two perpetrators of vile events to him. Lastri understands very well if Pure is very anti with things that smell mystical.

After the death of Armen, Murni approached Lastri. He wanted to ask about the gold that Lastri had bought. Purely say that he no longer needs material things anymore. What he feared was that Lastri and Gya might just leave him. After Lastri builds a relationship again with Enah, his biological mother.

Lastri tells Pure that he will choose to live forever in Pure's house. So is Gya as long as he is still there then his little daughter will remain with Murni. That's why Lastri chose Armen as the guardian of Gya. Of course, if Murni is no longer able to keep Gya because of the age factor.

After hearing the explanation from Lastri about his life plan, Pure was relieved. He even advised Lastri as soon as possible to go home to his village. Pure had such thoughts because he was worried about the police. Especially Gianto who will try to relate the death of Yudi with his adopted daughter. Purely remembered about the question that Gianto had asked himself about Lastri.

After Pure's condition calmed down, Lastri took out a gold necklace taken from a box in a drawer and said, "Which mother would choose?"

Purely saw there were two necklaces there. There is no visible difference between the two there. Relatively same. He said, "Thank you, son!"

Unaware of the tears Pure flowing. Tears of happiness. Pure was so happy after proving that Lastri, his adopted daughter did not distinguish herself from her biological mother, Enah. 

Armen came back to see Lastri. He wanted to report the development of his mother's garden. The unkempt garden has now begun to bear fruit again. 

Armen wanted to discuss his garden after it was cleaned and fertilized by Mr. Mul's partner. Also on the excess midrib. The garden now looks much more fertile than the harvest three weeks earlier.

"Las, the fertilizer is good!"

"Yes that!" Lastri replied with certainty, "cook the hell Mr Mul dare to give you a good item!"

"Yes Las, have you started many more?"

"If Mr. Wagiso says your garden is stressful!"

"Can it be?"

"Indeed yes! how can it be?" Lastri looks stiff.

Armen laughs. Lastri's nature is exactly the same as his old friend. She is also the only daughter of the deceased Pure. Their age was almost the same age, Armen was just a little bigger. Lastri is now present in exchange for her neighbor's daughter. Also as his new brother.

"Las, your story this afternoon must not be complete right?"

"You mean?"

"There's something you haven't told us!"

"Well done!"

"Have I done it!" Armen could not trust Pastri completely.

Having lived the profession as a credit investigation, a little bit makes Armen always suspicious. A Credit Investigation is educated to be obliged to have a premonition of it. Armen believes Lastri covered up the story, because there is something Pure must not know. But what has Lastri not told you?

"Let's go!" lastri

"Why should I be later?"

"There's something that makes little sense!"

"Las' story!"

"Other times!"

"Not that Las?"

"Where does that mean?"

"That's absurd we can tell other people!"

"meaning?" Lastri suspects Armen will ask him to talk to Bu Kotjo, his mother. 

Beyond the estimation of Lastri, Armen will actually bring himself to Ki Cadas. The teacher of Bu Kotjo. Without Armen knowing that in the science of magical power even his mother is far superior. Bu Kotjo's ability to transcend nature was very popular in his time.

Armen knew the shaman, because Ki Cadas himself introduced himself to Armen. Ki Cadas was once asked for help by a teller at the place he worked first. The teller was hit by a gendam by a customer. And the results of Ki Cadas's observation not only once, although small because there are security officers in the room.

Lastri finally agreed to Armen's invitation. They finally set a good time to meet Ki Cadas. Lastri asked Armen to set a good time. However, previously Lastri will focus first on facing the call of the police first.
