What We See, What We Forget

Part 7

A shocking revelation was that Husni asked Hendra again to reconfirm whether or not it was both her parents or just either the mother or the father and what method was chosen for the suicide. A little over an hour ago, a car was found falling from the top floor of a mall's parking lot. Hendra sent a video as they were phoning. The video is of the car falling from the top floor of the lot until it crashed down to the street and became a total wreck. The cameraman then walked towards the vehicle, showing the two lifeless bodies inside before ending. The INAFIS who were there were able to recover both the bodies' wallets that contained the I.D. cards of both Shasfa's parents. At the time, they had no idea that the bodies were connected to a concurrent investigation. Still, their names became significant after the Jakarta INAFIS uploaded the details to the database of recent cases.

Husni figured to head for Jakarta, to Hendra's approval; however, he apologized that he couldn't be there with Husni as he was supposed to attend an event the next day. Husni rushed to the station to get a ticket for the last train out of Malang. He's lucky enough to secure a ticket an hour before its departure, and off he returned to Jakarta after only four days in Malang. Husni informed his parents of this, and they all laughed at the fact that they were both happy to have their son back in Jakarta after only a short period. They were so delighted that they offered to pick him up from the station. Husni accepted the offer; who could reject a free ride and a place to stay? After the phone call with his parents, he phoned the Jakarta police and turned down the available mess room, which was initially his place of stay in Jakarta. Once he arrived at Gambir Station, he saw his parents waving their hands at him. They all hugged each other before heading home. The clock just struck 4:30 A.M. Although he enjoyed the conversation inside the car, Husni couldn't wait any longer to rest at his house. This thought was extinguished when the door of his house opened to expose his extended family from both parents' sides who were waiting for his arrival. They scrambled to greet Husni and take pictures with him. His appearances on the news made the family curious about the case, and they all wanted to have a first-hand account of their 'famous' relative.

Husni explained only the details that were available for him to tell, as he is not to know about case details that were not open to the public yet, but the media has been on a roll with sensationalizing the case, with it appearing on the news in last ninety-six hours of news cycles, especially after the Erwin chase, they all thought that it looked straight from an action movie, except for Husni, who was sure that he was going to die in a fiery accident that day. Husni excused himself to take a short rest before he had to shower and report to the Jakarta police to examine the wreckage of the car and its contents. At 7:00 A.M., Husni hopped on a ride with his dad to the central station on Sudirman Street. At the station, he was greeted by the detective responsible for the wreckage case, Inspector Syam. They both then headed for the mall where the suicide happened, one of Jakarta's most prominent malls, which is located just by the city's central business district. The wreckage had already moved inside the lower floor of the parking lot by the time Husni was there, with officers surrounding the scene to prevent onlookers from taking a peek. The car was a black luxury crossover, now wholly totaled, with the vehicle's roof making the first impact on the ground. Granted, the bodies had been removed from the car, but the bloodstains were still present, indicating that their skulls gave way to the roof, somewhat of a very macabre coincidence.

Husni asked Syam to view the bodies, and they both moved to the police hospital to see the bodies over at the autopsy room; the bodies were in horrible shape, with their skulls seeming to be turned into pancakes seeing how it was shaped, their phones, however, were recovered intact. Still, none of their recent messages indicated any willingness to commit suicide. A closer inspection of their text messages told a different story about why they were at the mall. The mother wanted to get some frozen yogurt at that mall. Could it be that it was an accident? If so, that is a very harsh thing even to consider happening, going after their kid not long after their kid went. All points looked to be inconclusive at this point.
