Chapter 3: HE ISN'T THE CULPRIT

Zalina looked at Chief inspector Leo sharply. Those who stare look a little awkward while those who stare look calm and still elegant. Who does not know Zalina Maharani, a young lawyer who is incredibly smart and also honest. In front of Leo, there was a map that was just handed over by Zalina.

"For what reason, you want Revan Aminoto to be investigated. We all know who the young man's parents are."

"The adoptive parents to be exact, Mr. Leo. Please open the document that I brought," answered Zalina firmly.

Leo opened the document that Zalina had brought. There are two child adoption documents. One belongs to Aminoto and the other belongs to Rudi. Also a certificate from the orphanage explaining that the both adopted children are twins.

"So, you mean..."

"Revan Aminoto was present at the birthday party that night. According to Ardy Cresna, victim Tiara Wulandini drank together at the bartender with Ardy. Now, why not do the same DNA test on Revan's and We all know that there is one fingerprint that we don't know is whose fingerprint is at the crime scene, right?"

Leo fell silent. That night, he was the one who immediately rushed to the crime scene after receiving a call that an act of harassment had taken place. And, indeed he found there were other fingerprints besides the fingerprints of the suspect and the victim.

"I will investigate this, Miss Zalina," said Leo.

"When?"

"Soon of course, this afternoon my team and I will come to Revan Aminoto's residence. "I will go with you." Zalina decided. Leo stared at Zalina intently.

"Um, are you sure?"

"Tell me the reason why I should not be sure?"

Leo couldn't help but say yes. "So what are you waiting for?" Zalina asked when she saw Leo still sitting in his chair. Zalina's question made commissioner Rendy in the room giggle with amusement. Leo just glared at his colleague and brother-in-law. Zalina only glanced at Rendy and immediately stepped out of the room.

"There's no way my child is the abuser! THIS IS SLIME!" Aminoto shouted sternly at Leo and Zalina. "Ah, if you really believe that Revan is innocent, we will prove it through a DNA test. Why should you be afraid?" said Zalina casually. He turned to Revan and Mrs. Kalina Setiawan, Aminoto's wife "Okay, please just take the DNA test!" Aminoto replied.

"But, I don't want to. Why do I have to do DNA tests? I was indeed at the party but I never touched Tiara. I was also in a drunken position that night," said Revan.

Zalina smirked. "Ah, you seem to know for sure that the victim was drunk. That means you were near the victim when the incident took place, right?"

"Please watch your mouth! This is not a trial where you can accuse my son!" Aminoto exclaimed.

"Owh, I'm just summing up what your son said. Besides, I'm sure you will be very embarrassed if your child is proven to have the same DNA as the suspect Revan. Because they are twins. adopted child. Isn't that right, dear Mr Aminoto?"

Aminoto and Kalina looked pale, as did Revan. "You don't be reckless!" cried Aminoto. Zalina smiled, "Perhaps, this document can refresh your memory a little." Revan, who saw the change in his parents' facial expressions, suddenly felt shocked. "I'm not Papa and Mama's child?" he asked. Zalina smiled triumphantly. "If you are wise, you can choose. You want to make your son confess or when the file goes to court your family's good name is at stake because I will call witnesses who will certainly free Ardy's brother. So, I suggest you immediately consult with the family Tiara so that the charges against my client are withdrawn. Or do you still want a DNA test done to prove that your favorite son wants this to be the perpetrator of the abuse?"

"There's no way Revan could be the culprit!" Aminoto still looked adamant.

"Please come with us then, we'll do a DNA test. How about it?" challenge Zalina.

Leo and assistant inspector Rachel smiled faintly. They were amused to see the attitude of Aminoto and his wife who went awry.

"Am I really not Papa's son?" asked Revan again.

"Papa and Mami never considered you an adopted child. You are our son," replied Kalina. Revan was shocked. Aminoto seemed to approach his son. "Please, you answer honestly, Son. Are you the culprit? If it's true, you better take responsibility. We went to the girl's house. I don't want our family's good name to be tarnished, my son.."

Revan took a deep breath. And, in the end, he nodded.

"There is no need to do a DNA test or anything. I am the culprit," said Revan quietly. Zalina smiled proudly.

"In that case, my job here is finished. Please continue Chief Inspector Leo. And, I will wait for my client to be cleared of all charges. Excuse me, good afternoon."

Zalina reached for the bag and documents she was carrying. Gracefully and confidently she put on her sunglasses and stepped out of the big house. That made inspector Rachel pursed her lips.

"She's so arrogant," she said in a whisper.

***

Zalina was sitting in her room when her secretary knocked on the door.

"There is Mr. Rudi with his wife and kid, Mam."

"They've already paid for my services. Then, what are they doing here?"

"I don't know, Mam. Can I just ask them to come in?" asked Arimbi, Zalina's secretary. Zalina exhaled slowly. "All right, Let them in."

Arimbi left the room and soon Rudi along with Marisa and Ardy entered the room.

"Good afternoon, Ms. Zalina. Sorry if we disturb you."

"Please, is there anything I can help you with?" asked Zalina. Rudi turned to Ardy. "Ardy wants to thank you directly," said. Rudi.

"That's right, Ms. Zalina. I am very grateful for your help. If you don't help me, I could be threatened with not being able to practice because of a criminal case. And I cannot take my medical oath which is already in sight."

"Hmm...No problem, after all I was paid to defend you. Congratulations on your duty as a doctor then. Hopefully, you can become a good doctor. Is there anything else to talk about? If not, I have to go. I have an appointment." lunch with my mother."

. Rudi's family also knew themselves, they quickly got up and said goodbye.


Chapter 4: PERFECT WIFE

"Rista, where did you put my black tie? I don't want to wear this tie!" Damian shouted.

"Mommy, Elena messed up my book again, mommy!" shouted the youngest Calista.

Arista took a deep breath. She quickly turned off the stove first. Quickly, she stepped into the room and helped her husband Damian.

"Where's my black tie? I don't want to wear this one," Damian frowned in annoyance. Arista opened the cupboard and immediately got the tie Damian had asked for. After helping her husband put on his tie, she rushed to the children's room.

It looks like Elena and Calista are fighting. "Elena, are you done?" she asked. Elena nodded.

"Then, hurry up and sit at the dining table. Drink your milk first. What's wrong with you Calista?"

"My book was messed up by Elena," said Calista. Patiently Arista immediately repackaged her children's books.

"To the dining table now. Drink your milk first. Soon the fried rice will be ready."

Arista rushed to the kitchen, when she passed the dining table, she saw her husband and eldest son Dominic already sitting while enjoying the bread she had prepared earlier. When she returned to the kitchen, it turned out that her mother-in-law was stirring the fried rice she had left.

"What are you doing, Rista?! Your work is never right. When you're cooking, just cook! You know, I can't tolerate it if I don't have rice for breakfast. It's just like that!" Deswita, her mother-in-law, began to squeak.

Arista did not answer, she chose to continue her work which had been delayed. And immediately brought the food to the dining table. Then, she deftly served the mother-in-law, husband and children breakfast. After that, Arista quickly went to her room and immediately took a shower and changed clothes. She has to take her children to school.

When she came out of the room, her husband and children had finished their breakfast. So did her mother-in-law.

"Don't forget to buy cakes for my social gathering friends this afternoon, don't be like that time. You only buy sponge rolls and risoles. It's not on the same level. Your husband is the boss. He has a big company. Try going to the bakery that I usually shop at. There's macaroni schotel, red velvet, tiramisu, and brownies. Buy something like that. The credit card you hold is unlimited. beside the monthly money your husband gave to you. Nope. Don't be too frugal like a poor person! Then, when will the new helper come?! I'm already too lazy to see your slow work!"

"Yes, ma'am. After taking the children to school, I'll stop by to buy the cakes that you want. Also stop by the foundation for the new household assistant, Mom," said Arista softly.

"Look for someone who is agile, don't be like yesterday. She's a bit old, her work period is slow, after that she complains a little bit of pain. I want the young one to be strong in this work, you understand?!"

"Yes, ma'am. Rista understands."

Damian regretted the coffee and folded the newspaper, he didn't seem too concerned about the conversation between his mother and wife. He turned to the eldest Dominic.

"Dom, are you done? You're with daddy right?" he asked.

"Yeah, if I am with Mommy, It means that I have to play first, Dad. Are you done too?" replied the handsome teenager. Damian nodded.

"I went to school first, grandma," he said. He kissed Deswita's cheek and didn't forget to kiss Arista's too. "Don't forget to pick me up later, mom," he said to Arista. Arista just smiled and nodded.

Damian grabbed his bag and lightly kissed Arista's forehead. He didn't forget to kiss the back of his mother's hand and immediately rushed off. Arista grabbed a glass of milk and drank it, then turned to her both daughters, Elena and Calista.

"Are you guys done? If so, can we go now?" asked Arista. Elena and Calista nodded and immediately grabbed their school bags. Then kissed Deswita's cheek. Arista approached her mother-in-law to kiss her hand, but Deswita brushed Arista's hand away as she stood up.

"Don't forget to go to the foundation. You have to come home with a new maid! I don't want to be laughed at by my friends when you have to serve their food and drinks. I'm grateful that you should be Arista, my son has raised your life to be like a queen!" said Deswita as she walked away. Arista was only able to exhale. She immediately embraced her two daughters and led them to the car.

Arista drives her car at a moderate speed. After escorting the twin girls to their class, Arista went straight to a housemaid foundation. A few days ago, their maid quit because she was a little old, and her mother-in-law didn't feel right. Their old maid who previously quit because her future husband forbade her to work. And, they will soon be married.

Arista Dewi is a beautiful woman. She married at a young age, 21 year. And, not long after marriage she immediately became pregnant. At the age of 22, Arista already has her first son Dominic Agung and her husband Damian. Arista only graduated with a Diploma's degree. She and Damian have been dating since they were in high school. And, it was Damian who asked her not to continue with a Bachelor's degree .

"You'll be my wife later. I don't want you to be more than me. It's enough for me to have a diploma degree, okay?"

Damian was Arista's first classmate. He is a smart, talented and handsome boy. Almost all of his friends were after Damian's love. But, Damian chose her to be his lover.

When they started a household, Damian had just graduated and worked in a small company. Until, Arista's parents provided capital for Damian to open a property business. Arista's family is not a deprived family. In fact, Arista's father is retired from the Army and Arista's mother is an obstetrician. Actually, Arista's parents wanted their youngest daughter to complete her education as high as possible. First, Arista really wanted to study law. However, all of that was buried due to too much love for Damian. While Arista's sister is a cardiologist.

Because of his smart brain, Damian managed to develop his business to be more advanced and growing rapidly. In fact, he was able to return back the capital given by his father-in-law. Seeing Damian's abilities, Arista's parents started to open up more to them. Especially at that time Arista was pregnant with the twins Elena and Calista.

Arista and Damian's household was fine. However, after Damian's father passed away. Deswita decided to sell her house and live with her children and in-laws. Arista didn't mind at all. However, sometimes Deswita's attitude often makes her hurt.
