Elsewhere …
“Hey, Boss. The Raven has left the nest. Should we follow him?”
[“Follow him and report who he meets tonight.”]
“Got it, Boss.”
A car quietly pulled out after the car driven by Indra Laksono, who remained unaware that he was being followed.
The capital's bustling streets bore witness that night as Indra Laksono met with a business associate, unaware that someone was tailing him—whether a business rival or someone targeting him personally, no one knew.
Before long, Indra's car turned into a fairly popular five-star hotel in the capital.
After parking his vehicle, the man who had a son from his marriage to Nirmala casually walked into the hotel lobby, without the slightest suspicion.
Behind him, the watcher followed on foot, observing everything Indra did with a hidden camera.
But then …
“Dad! Mommy, look, Dad's here.”
Mommy?
The watcher's attention was diverted by the voice of a six- or seven-year-old girl who shouted while pointing ahead.
Indra Laksono appeared to quicken his pace, leaving the watcher stunned by the scene unfolding before him.
“Daaad!”
“Hi, Daddy's girl. Come here, Anggita. Come to Dad, sweetheart.”
Instead, Indra Laksono hurried toward the little girl who had shouted earlier. He lifted her into his arms, followed by a woman walking behind the girl whose prominently rounded belly made her look pregnant.
“What the hell?” the watcher muttered.
“Dad, why did you take so long to get here? Anggita and Mommy were tired of waiting.”
Dad? Mommy? A child? Could that be …
After seeing what was happening before him, the watcher chose to keep his distance from Indra Laksono as he met with the two females of different ages.
He secretly captured several photos of the businessman spending time with them, then sent them to the person who had been contacting him.
Once everything was done, the watcher hurried out of the hotel lobby and waited in his vehicle.
Ding!
The sound of another message notification came from the flat object in the watcher's jacket pocket. He quickly checked it.
(Make sure who the woman with the Raven is. Find out where she lives and what their relationship is. Do it cleanly.)
(Got it, Boss!)
Their exchange ended, and at 11:20 p.m. Central Indonesia Time, Indra Laksono's luxury car left the hotel grounds. Meanwhile, the watcher reported that his surveillance target had returned.
Not long afterward, the woman and little girl Indra Laksono had met also emerged through the hotel entrance. The watcher's sharp gaze remained fixed on them as they drove away in a car driven by the woman.
The watcher continued following the car until it reached an upscale residential complex.
Unable to enter because he needed identification and had to state his destination, the watcher racked his brain to find out who the woman was.
At last, he came up with an idea: he would pretend to ask the security guard on duty at the residential complex.
“Excuse me, sir. I need to go inside, but I forgot my boss's wife's address. He sent me to pick up a car. Do you know where Mrs. Indra Laksono's house is? He's the head of Pranajaya Group.”
“Oh, you mean Mrs. Widya, Mr. Indra Laksono's wife?” the guard asked.
“Ah, yes. Her name is Mrs. Widya.”
“She just passed by with her child. Looks like she met her husband at the hotel. From what I've heard, this is Mr. Indra's second wife's house, Boss. His first wife is Mrs. Nirmala.”
The watcher was instantly stunned by the unexpected information the guard had revealed.
“Are you saying Mr. Indra secretly married again without his first wife's knowledge?” the watcher pressed.
“Shh! Keep your voice down, Boss. Someone might hear you. No one knows where Mr. Indra's second wife lives except the complex's security guards, Mr. Indra, and his trusted people. They've already got a child who's over seven years old. Her house is in block F21, number 5. It's a huge two-story house with a swimming pool and two maids. I know …”
“Well, thanks for the information, sir. I'd better go—I suddenly have terrible stomach cramps. E-excuse me, sir.”
“Hey, hey, hey, all right, Boss. Take care. Don't end up having diarrhea in your car.”
The conversation ended there. The watcher hurried away from the security post, clutching the phone that had successfully recorded the guard's revelation about the identity of Indra Laksono's second woman.
Did Lintang and her mother know about their stepfather's polygamy?
