Two days had passed, Nadine did not come out of the house at all. Let alone out, his friend just wanted to visit he did not open the door. Two days felt lonely, without the girl who always quarreled with Anindira.
''How to get the girl out....'' Mumam Bu Ida who was dizzy, they had already loved Nadine wholeheartedly so, Nadine did not look very influential.
''Miss will not come out if she does not want to....'' Tyaga said to mumble Bu Ida. Zahra, who was next to her brother, was angry with her brother. How can they give the answers they already know.
''Huh.....'' Breath from Ms. Ida was heard again.
''What's up? Is Miss Ida crowded?'' Ask someone from the door of the restaurant.
''Not just saj-?'' Ms. Ida looked over everything included. ''Xavier.....'' Say everything in unison except Tyaga and Vijendra. Everyone was gathering at the restaurant of Bu Ida as usual.
For two days Ms. Ida closed because she still felt mourning. Nadine walked back and sat in the last seat. ''What's up? Why staring? If Ms. Ida is stuck in the hospital, she won't heal just because you saw me.'' Nadine said, knocking on the water she took at the table.
''Mom's happy that you're out of the house, at least I'm a little relieved....'' Said Ms. Ida grateful.
''It's a good thing you didn't kill yourself at home, if that happens it could've bothered me to clean up your corpse.'' Chirps Anindira involuntarily, everything came back silent.
''What's up? Did I say the wrong thing?'' Anindira asked cluelessly, Nadine looked indifferent.
''Ahahaha.....You're ruining Anindira's mood. Come on Ida, serve the breakfast you made. We eat together..'' Said Pak Kotim melting the atmosphere.
No one spoke, they had breakfast quietly like running water. After breakfast, Nadine was about to come out but her steps stopped when she remembered something.
''Zahra, Tyaga I want to talk to you guys for a minute.'' Nadine said, Tyaga nodded.
***
That afternoon, Nadine had just finished her trial. Being a new lawyer is very challenging, Nadine has been given this case to take. The lawyer is not just his title, but he must be accountable.
''Nadine, would you like lunch together?'' Asked his senior, Nadine shook her head without looking over. Although he did not have a single friend, but all of them did not want to find business with Nadine. Moreover, with his attitude that is indifferent and seems arrogant.
Everyone knows Nadine's background, no one dares to approach or gossip about her.
''How? Have you made the report?'' Ask the chairman to Nadine who seems to be tidying up his files.
''Hmm already, this is a file that will be reviewed by the court. This case will definitely be in a calm.'' Nadine handed over the file.
Focus on the job? Oh no! That's not what makes Nadine work. He wanted to investigate the mall case and the death of people in the river stone. His determination was round, now his turn launched an attack.
Under the pretext of a rape case that he will definitely win, Nadine is now reading the death files of the people of the river stone. At lunch this is what he can use not to be suspected by his partner.
"I have to go in alone to know what's inside." Said Nadine who immediately took her briefcase and walked out of her room.

In the scorching sun, so did the blazing firmness in Nadine's heart. The girl stood looking at the calm river.
"A calm river does not mean there are no crocodiles in it." Said Tyaga who was next to him.
''Then from that, we have to find what is hidden behind all of this.'' Nadine said as she looked at the barrier made by the police.
''What if I am plunged into this river? Am I gonna make it? What is my safety likely?'' Nadine asked Tyaga.
''According to my estimates, you can survive 90% for those who can swim. 50% of those who cannot swim. You see the rocks that appear in some of those river spots? If someone who is still experiencing complete consciousness then will strive to reach for the stone as a allowance.'' Tyaga predicted.
''But if he is not aware or killed first will definitely be seen in the autopsy results.'' Vijendra. ''But there was no wound or anything in their bodies. Anyway, if you think about it. If they drown, it's impossible to get here, right? They should be floating or drowning at the bottom of the river.'' Vijendra continued in confusion.
''Sink?'' Said Nadine and Tyaga nodded, they both looked at each other as if they found the one they should investigate.
''Take the boat now....'' Said Nadine, the three of them went up to the boat carried by Tyaga. I don't know where he got the boat, which Tyaga certainly didn't steal.
Slowly, they went down the river. From left side to right side. But, on that rock there was nothing he could make a clue to. Because, if killed with violence will definitely be seen spots on the stone.
Byurr.....
Nadine bravely threw herself into the river and then swam resting on a rock next to the boat. It was Tyaga and Vijendra who were about to follow, undo the intention when Nadine had appeared on the surface.
''If we rest here then we will be safe. Although it takes time to reach for another stone but we will survive. Hmmm.....Very strange...'' Nadine.
''What if we can't move in the water? Then certainly will not be able to get out.''
''I'll come in, you guys just wait here. See if there are any other leads.'' Said Nadine who without consent had entered the water again.
Wibb..blubuk....
Nadine swam to the bottom of the river. It turns out that this river is quite deep, he is not a fish that can breathe in water. We need to get fast to the bottom. After struggling to get down, there was nothing. Nadine quickly re-emerged.
''Huh.....There's nothing. Try to find the other side. You guys can go back to the river side.'' Nadine swims from left to right.
Tyaga drove the boat from right to left. They descended on the left side of the river quite far from the scene. As they descended, Tyaga's observant eyes could quickly catch something strange in the reeds near the river.
''Acchors?'' Tyaga muttered confusedly, he felt that he was inside the labyrinth right now.
''This anchor has a rope, what are these anchors that are attached to the suit? From what was reported, the clothes of all the suits were torn in the neck.'' Said Vijendra researching, fortunately not yet touched by Tyaga.
On the other hand, Nadine was swimming without giving up. Even though he had to swim until night he would walk for the truth. Nadine, who was not careful, hit a big rock on the bottom of the river.
His eyes blinked slowly then pulled something that he thought was strange. He saw a small chain wrapped around the big rock. While removing the chain, Nadine grabbed an old bracelet that most likely belonged to the victim or the perpetrator.
Nadine swam to the side of the river where there were Tyaga and Vijendra who were observing the anchor. ''You're okay?'' Vijendra asked, Nadine nodded.
''It looks like the killer thinks he is playing the fisherman. Accidentally the victim was tied to a large rock at the bottom of a river not far from the left side. Then pull the victim to the side when it's gone.'' Nadine.
''After that, this anchor is used to drag the victim to the side. Look at the rock that is lined up like a scratch. At the pull until later it will be thought to die of drowning but in the last second the victim died, the victim managed to get to the side.'' Vijendra continued Nadine's assumption.
''Wow! Good tactic...." Tyaga's words sounded more irritated.
It's true what their assumptions are, but one they don't know. Before the victim is tied up. Victims were forced to drink something so that their entire bodies could not be moved. That's a perfect tactic.
Seriate.....
