Antara Darah dan Hati: Dream Reality English Translation

Chapter 7 Part 2 "Nieuwe bondgenoten"

POV Sofia

I'm not a good princess. I don't deserve to be a leader. I do not deserve love, affection and protection of those around me because I only harm them and worse, I cannot protect them.

Laras, mr. Wisnu's daughter, I could not save her from her illness. Sinjo Karim, who protected me when the campus was attacked by Schutterij force is behind bars because he is considered dangerous to me and he instead became a scapegoat for the immoral acts that heer Vinno did to me. Mrs. Chandra and mr. Ilhan had to lost their lives due to accepting my case to serve me.

What is said by the actress who played Queen Victoria in Victoria and Abdul movie is right. Everyone I loved just died and i just go on and on, what is the point? Service? If the meaning is service, why do I always fail to protect those who always keep protecting, loving and serving me?

In a post on my social media about the deaths of mrs. Chandra and mr. Ilhan. I apologize to both of them for failing to protect them even though many people are encouraging me and are angry at the police for their actions that always hide the truth about the deaths that have befallen upon mrs. Chandra and mr. Ilhan.

Mr. Ilhan was found floating in a water tank 3 days after his departure to the inn where his smartphone was being tracked. It is the innkeeper who reports his findings to the manager after receiving a complaint from guests about the water in the bathroom which is murky and feels strange. Employees who inspected the water tank found mr.Ilhan's body floating rigidly in the water tank along with his smartphone at the bottom of the tank.

The police told the public that mr. Ilhan killed himself the same as what has happened to mrs. Chandra who they claimed died the same way. However, the public do not believe because that reason sounds silly.

Basically, mr. Ilhan and mrs. Chandra who are Muslims have a very small possibility of committing suicide plus, when mr. Ilhan stayed at my house, I asked Dr. Dinda to check his physical and mental health. The results of his examination showed that mr. Ilhan's mental condition was still stable despite being diagnosed with slight stress due to the death of mrs. Chandra.

In addition, other irregularities are that many CCTV cameras in the inn do not function to record the activities carried out by the guests of the inn, except for a few of those cameras recording the incident when mr. Ilhan entered the elevator then the elevator door opened and there was someone who entered the elevator. Several minutes later when the elevator door opened again, she came out of the elevator followed by mr. Ilhan only, they went out and walked towards a different direction.

The incident recorded in the elevator reminds me of the case of Elisa Lam's death who is found in a water tank and the police said she committed suicide even though people thought it was impossible for Elisa Lam to enter the water tank and drown herself if access to the water tank needed an hotel staff's electric ID card in order to open it.

After mr. Ilhan's death, the police called me to investigate me and asked me about why when mrs. Chandra died I did not report to the police but conducted an independent investigation and disseminated the results on my social media which were intended for the public.

I gave my answers as honest as possible to the personnel who interrogated me in emotional tone while keep ranting and saying I did not believe they could do their job properly due to their statements regarding the deaths of mrs. Chandra and mr. Ilhan caused by suicide and threatened to report those who did not work competently to the king to be fired.

A few days after they interrogated me, I got a message from a police officer specializing in investigation, he is a high ranking officer in the investigation department, his name is mr. Erwin Dekker. He said he got my contact when he talked with mr. Lodewijk during my interrogation.

Mr. Dekker said he is willing to work together to solve my case in order to reveal who killed mrs. Chandra and mr. Ilhan and is willing to help me resolve the immoral case that struck sinjo Karim.

He understood why i reacted like that when being interrogated because, when I was interrogated his subordinates complained that I shouted at them with emotional tone saying I could not trust the police lately. He told me that basically the police here were also divided into two groups and unfortunately, the Neo-NSB group was more influential which caused good people in the police force can not move freely or do much without being noticed by their higher superiors.

Mr. Dekker told me that if mr. Lodewijk, me and mr. Wisnu wanted to do an independent investigation I should give the results of our investigation to him. At first I was hesitant to do it but mr. Dekker said he is a Muslim and swore in the name of God 4 times if he betray me he would enter hell. Mr. Lodewijk advised me to accept his oath, finally I accepted his offer to help me. I hope he keep his promise and I hope I take the right steps.

*Trivia

The case of Ilhan's death who is found in a water tank was taken from the case of Elisa Lam's death who is found in a hotel water tank. There are conspiracy theory that said Elisa Lam's murder is similar to a murder that occurred in the horror film Dark water, where the film was released a few years before Elisa Lam died in a similar way as happened in the Dark Water movie.

Officer Erwin Dekker is inspired from Danudirja Setiabudi or his Dutch name Ernest Francois Eugene Douwes Dekker. his face is from Eren Kruger's face, Attack on Titan anime series.
