Chapter 38

"Not everything we know is right because the truth can change our mistakes with just one word."
 ____________________________________________________________
It was eight o'clock in the evening and Arche was standing in front of the precinct. He was hesitant if he would go inside to say what he knew about the case of Gino, but two hours ago he was just walking back and forth here, and two hours ago, until now, Sander was still not here. Arche suddenly looked at an old woman and a policeman talking near where he was standing.
"Will they continue the investigation even though my granddaughter is dead?"
"Mrs. because that's what the complainant wants even though we repeatedly told them that we would close the case because the person who killed their son is dead."
"My granddaughter committed suicide because of a sin she didn't do! Even without my granddaughter, they will still continue the case?!"
"Mrs. we are already making a way for the case to be closed. But the mother of the child killed by your granddaughter went crazy, and her husband insisted that someone is imprisoned."
"How many times can I tell you that my granddaughter didn't kill their son! She was just accused!"
In these moments, Arche felt sad at what he heard of the old woman's plea to the policeman. Arche remembered Nathaniel's pleading to him. He took a deep breath and his determination was complete. He would tell the police what he knew. He was about to enter the precinct when someone suddenly grabbed his arm. Here, he saw Sander holding his arm with Jasper.
"Let's go inside together and say what we know," Sander said, and they entered the precinct together.
 
They immediately searched for the person in charge of his friend's case, and here they both told what they knew, and they also told who killed Gino. When they did to telling the police everything, they left the precinct together again, while Jasper followed them. When they came out of the police station, Arche did not expect that he still would see the old woman outside sitting on the side. Without hesitation, he approached it and he took off his jacket and put it on the old woman, and he also helped her to stand up.
"Your granddaughter will be sad when if sees you in this situation," Arche said to the old woman.
"Young boy, you should just let me die in the cold weather. My life is meaningless because my dearest granddaughter died."
"Granny, if your granddaughter hears you, do you think she will be happy?" Arche asked when the old woman was about to speak, but someone immediately hugged her.
"Mom, why did you come here? I'm so worried about you. I said to you, I'll take care of Krestell's case." The old woman touched the man's face.
"I want to see my granddaughter." The old woman repeatedly said to the man, so the man looked at Arche and thanked him, and he helped his mother to walk away from Arche. Arche stared at the old woman and the man until they disappeared from his sight. He looked at Jasper and Sander, then he walked away from them, but Sander and Jasper followed him, and Sander suddenly spoke.
"Arche, can I stay where you are staying?" Arche nodded at what Sander said while Jasper took another path back to his house. Minutes later, Arche and Sander were here in his apartment. Arche lets Sander enter to his room, and he picks up a pillow and blanket that Sander will use.
"My apartment is small, so if you're not comfortable, the door is open for you, you can go out and find a place to sleep." Sander didn't say a word, instead, he fixed that he would use to sleep while Arche lay on his bed.
"I thought you weren't coming earlier." Suddenly, Arche said while lying down in his bed and looking at the ceiling.
"My father stopped me because he thought he might ruin his reputation as a mayor. But I did not listen to him, because I did the right thing."
"And your father kicked you out?"
Sander did not speak to Arche's question; instead, he was silent for a few seconds before he spoke again.
"Since I was a child, they only important their reputation. They are the only ones who are always followed their wants. My likes are always piled up. So they were the reason I met Edward. I never thought they could kill a person. The old woman you helped, her granddaughter, who is said to have been accused of murder, but the truth is her granddaughter she killed the son of Mr. and Mrs. Castellio."
Suddenly Arche stood up from his bed and with a questioning look in his eyes, he peeked at Sander lying at the bottom of his bed.
"But Edward, the one who ordered to her. Because if Krestell doesn't do that, Edward will kill her granny. Because of Krestell's fear, she did what Edward told her to do so that she could pay Edward the money she owed and not hurt her grandmother."
Arche clenched his fist because of the anger he felt.
"Because Krestell was conscientious, she approached me and asked for a favour if I could take care of her grandmother, but I didn't think that she would kill herself. So earlier, I wanted to approach the old woman, but I couldn’t because I hadn’t even helped Krestell that day." Sander said in sadness voice.
"And I took so long a while to go to the precinct because after fighting with my father, I went to Krestell's grandmother's house and left money that would help Krestell's family. And tomorrow I know that Edward and the other comrades who sinned will be imprisoned, and Nathaniel will be acquitted." Sander stood quietly on the floor and faced Arche.
"I'll chill outside." He said and left the room while Arche couldn't believe what Sander said. He felt pity for the old woman because she didn't know what her granddaughter had done. He breathed deeply and he lay down again on his bed.
