Tour Planning
Ian was now driving his car together with Raya, they were traveling at a moderate speed to get to the place where Raya was going, the police station. Both of them had agreed that this case was over quickly. But when they were halfway to the police station, Ian suddenly slowed down and pulled over to the side of the road.
“Raya, I don’t think we should do this.” Ian decided by closing his eyes for a moment and opening them again. His hands were still gripping the steering wheel tightly. Then facing the girl who had asked to investigate the case for a glance and then facing back at the highway in front of him. Obviously, that made Raya’s forehead furrowed in confusion.
“What do you mean, Ian? We’re already halfway to the police station, let’s hurry!” Raya seemed to have no time left and wanted to report the crime to the police even though it was too late.
“No, Raya. It’s useless just so you know. We’re just witnesses, but do we have any evidence? The police won’t just believe us if we’re just witnesses. Because anyone can be a witness. What about evidence? I didn’t record anything during the incident because I was in a panic and prioritized the safety of the accident victims. I absolutely cannot if people are affected by a disaster must be videoed first, no, I have never and cannot do that. That’s why I said that it’s useless to go to the police station if there’s no evidence.” Ian tried to explain, and Raya also tried to digest Ian’s words that she should also collect evidence first before reporting to the police station.
“Yes, you’re right, Ian. But, is there no harm in us trying first? I just want Gifer to get justice. And I’m willing to turn myself in because I’ve helped the perpetrator carry out his act of causing Gifer’s accident.” Raya still insisted on reporting like this, making Ian a little annoyed. Raya took a short breath and then let it out. Her brow furrowed, because Raya didn’t understand what he meant.
“What? Aishh, Raya, haven’t you ever had anyone report without evidence?” Ian again reminded her about evidence. Raya shook her head.
“Well, that’s why we have to have video evidence to know how it happened, the plan that Nara had prepared for you back then, that’s what. But you yourself also don’t have any evidence, how can we get our report processed by the police? After all, it happened a very long time ago, why would the police uncover a problem that has already been resolved? The CCTV documents about the accident must have been archived by the police. That’s why now we can’t do anything.” Ian explained, making Raya nod her head in understanding and think again that she did not have any evidence. Let alone the video, the messages and phone calls planning about Nara’s crime at that time had been lost.
“Yes, I understand, we don’t have any evidence, but if this problem isn’t solved soon, I’m just afraid that Gifer will be affected again. Nara is a very bad person, I’m just afraid he’ll repeat the same thing and even more than Gifer did.” Raya said softly while lowering her head and with a disappointed look on her face.
“You still love Gifer?” Ian guessed. Instantly Raya’s head snapped up, facing the man with round eyes, a sharp nose, thin lips, and a firm jaw who was looking at her questioningly.
“No, I love my boyfriend, I’m just worried about Gifer because my father always said that Gifer is a good person and because of my mistake, he went blind. Therefore, instead of feeling guilty, I just want to solve this problem thoroughly.” Raya replied.
“But, have you asked Gifer’s opinion about this?” Raya again shook her head.
“Gifer doesn’t even know about this, how can we reveal everything, Raya? Never mind, now let’s just end this case, when Gifer comes back we’ll talk about it again.” Ian broke off after a long argument with Raya. But Raya still didn’t accept it. Raya was also surprised about what Ian was talking about earlier.
“What, where did Gifer come back from? Why didn’t you tell me before?”
“Gifer went to America for eye surgery. If he stays in Jakarta, he won’t be able to get an eye donor at all because those who would donate their eyes have been incited by the words of Nara and Yohanes, the culprit who hit Gifer’s car at that time.”Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
“Is that so? Gifer already got an eye donor? Thank God, I’m happy for you, I can only hope that Gifer can see again soon and I can also apologize to him.” Raya’s facial expression instantly became happy.
Ian considered what Raya said with a furrowed forehead.

“Yes, Mr. Ian saved you from death, Gifer.” Anggi tried to explain.
“But, after I regained consciousness, I didn’t hear his voice to visit me, did he leave after helping me?” Gifer asked curiously.
“Based on Mr. Ian’s story, he was in a hurry to go to Jakarta because he was called repeatedly by his father to immediately fill a meeting. After helping you, even his shirt was full of blood that came out of your eyes and forehead.” Anggi explained.
“I must have been very troublesome for him at that time.” Gifer said with a downcast expression while putting his lower lip forward.
“Aishh, never mind, why even talk about that Mr. Ian, let’s talk about a good tour in America and then we’ll go there, be satisfied, then go back to Jakarta. It’s easy, isn’t it? Eh, instead of talking about Mr. Ian.” Reply Haris who already wanted to go back to Jakarta immediately.
“Hahaha, yes, let’s talk about tourism now. How about looking for a better museum at the Palm Spring Art museum in California?” Belvina offered.
“But is it a good place? I mean… is the history interesting or not? Are there many Caucasians there too?” Anggi asked curiously.
“What, Caucasians huh? Hmm, there are these men whose eyes are wandering.” Sindira who glanced sharply at Gifer.
“What the hell? No, we will definitely keep our eyes open, otherwise there will be problems, Hahahhahaha.” Gifer’s laughter immediately boomed throughout the hotel room.
“Besides, it’s better to look at a bule than to look at you who can only grumble.” Haris quipped. The insinuated one had already slapped Haris hard several times on the shoulder while laughing.
“Watch out, you rotten alien!” Anggi said.
“Hahahah, you guys are up to no good.”
“Well, now what’s the decision? Where are we going?” Asked Belvina again.
“CALIFORNIA MUSEUM!” The three of them said simultaneously, making Belvina who was sitting cross-legged immediately cover both ears and grimace.
