"Mr. Devan planned all this, sir, it's just that since the existence of this room, he only entrusted it to us. Asking us to report if something strange happened. And the one in charge of checking CCTV regularly is Hendra, sir," explained the middle-aged man again.
"Is that true? I just found out that my cousin's house is equipped with CCTV cameras," Leo replied as if he couldn't believe what he had just heard.
"That's right, sir. The camera is well hidden, so no one can find it."
"I don't know what Lukman is trying to show you, but since you're already here, you can tell me what date you want to see the recording, sir," added Deden again.
Hearing that, Leo was silent. Leaned his body relaxed on the chair and then reached into his pocket, took out a flat-shaped object from it. "Wait a minute," Leo said as he played with his cellphone, looking for his call history with Byanca the night Devan came to visit and stay at his apartment.
"Okay, sir," replied Deden, the middle-aged man was standing next to Mr. Leo, without making any sound and just waiting for Master Leo's next order.
Until a few minutes later, Leo's smile broke right after finding what he was looking for, he immediately told Deden about the day and date he wanted to see the CCTV footage at Devan's house.
"Okay, sir. Wait a minute," said Deden, then fiddled with the keyboard and several folders, looking for recordings that might have been saved by Hendra.
"Please open it yourself, sir," said the middle-aged man again after finding the folder he was looking for, clearly visible on the screen several recording files.
"Okay, leave me alone and just wait for me outside," Leo pleaded.
"Yes sir. Then I'll excuse myself," replied Deden, bowing slightly in respect, then walked away from there, out of the room.
Left alone, Leo began to open the recorded files one by one, observing them without missing a beat. Until a few minutes had passed, the recording he had previously been playing was suddenly paused when he saw a man enter Devan's house.
Paying close attention to the movements of Byanca and the stranger, even as the two figures engage in reckless sex. Yes, at that time, when Byanca contacted him, Leo was already starting to get suspicious of Byanca, with everything she did that night when Devan wasn't home. Even the sound of the woman's suppressed sigh still rings in his ears to this day.
What he's currently watching is more like a porn movie.
Watching the CCTV footage to the end, Leo laughed lightly. "You think I would let my cousin marry a dirty woman like you?" he muttered then scanned the CCTV footage into his cell phone. After that, Leo slowly moved to leave the room.
Meeting Deden who was sitting on the sofa in the living room, Leo sat there too.
"Am I making you wait for me for a long time?" Leo asked, sounding more friendly than before.
Hearing a man's voice, Deden who was busy with his cellphone suddenly stopped his activities and immediately turned his head to look for the origin of the sound. Finding Mr. Leo who had just come out of the CCTV room, he immediately stood up and saluted.
"Sit back. You don't have to treat me like that," Leo said and sat down on the sofa.
"S-Sir...."
"Don't hesitate, have a seat, I just want to invite you to talk a little," said Leo, who immediately cut off the middle-aged speech.
"Okay, then wait a moment, sir," replied Deden then left the living room and enter another room in the house.
Leo didn't respond and just let the middle-aged man do whatever he wanted. Now that time has reached the end of the day, the orange light that glows on the western horizon slowly fades and then disappears, replaced by the bright night sky because of the stars.
"Please drink first, sir," Deden appeared with a tray containing a glass of drink and also some snacks. Placed it carefully on the table right in front of Mr. Leo.
"Thank you, Deden."
"Devan never comes here?" Leo asked when he saw the middle-aged man had returned to his original position.
"Yes sir, a few days ago. He came with Miss Anna," replied Deden.
"Really? What are they doing?"
"Barbeque, sir," answered Deden, he also didn't know exactly what that night was, because, at that time, he was at the guard post, temporarily replacing Lukman due to an injury he received from Javier's people.
"And then?"
"Besides… It seems that Mr. Devan never comes again, sir," replied Deden.
"Regarding the CCTV footage, has Devan seen all the contents?" Leo asked a little curiously.
"I don't know much about this, sir, because this matter has been assigned to Hendra, but if my guess is correct, it seems he has not shown the CCTV footage to Mr. Devan, sir."
"Is that true?"
"This is just my guess, sir. If you want, I can contact him now to ask him," replied Deden.
"Then do it," Leo asked.
"Okay, sir, wait a minute," replied the middle-aged man immediately grabbing the flat-shaped object that he had previously placed on the table.
Leo just nodded.
Until a few minutes later, the man asked, "How?"
"Hendra's contact is out of reach, sir," replied Deden, who had tried to contact Hendra twice.
"I'll try it one more time," he added.
"No need," Leo stopped immediately.
"He's with Devan, you don't need to contact him anymore, it looks like they're not in the City at the moment," he added.
"Okay, sir," Deden nodded without reducing his manners in the slightest.
"Did something happen? Maybe I can help you, sir," added Deden again.
"Have you seen the CCTV footage?" Leo asked.
"No, sir. Only once in a while," replied Deden.
"Then there's no need," Leo replied, the man then drank the cold drink that had been prepared by Deden for him.
"Thanks for the drink, Deden. And sorry for taking up your time," Leo said with a smile, looking very friendly.
"Don't say that, sir. I should have listened to your words and helped you. You are Mr. Devan's cousin, which means that you are also a person who deserves the same treatment as Mr. Devan," Deden replied in one breath.
"Alright, then continue your work, I'll go first."
"Okay sir, if you need something, you can tell us," replied Deden.
"Ah yes, you want me to walk you to the front?" Leo offered just before stepping through the door.
"A-ah, you don't have to, sir."
"Okay, thanks for the drink," Leo said again with a big smile, then stepped, towards his car at a leisurely pace.
