Airin and Rain again threw eyes at each other. Airin's ringing phone cut off eye contact between them.
Frowning when he saw the new number listed on the phone screen, Airin was a little reluctant to accept it.
Must have been the wrong number again.
"Yes, hello?" Because of a troubled mind, even Airin forgot to say hello.
"You must be looking for Zia, right?"
Deg.
This voice ... How did this guy know about Zia?
"R-Rivals?"
"Zia is with me."
Deg.
"You?! Don't mess with Zia. Please .... " Airin held back her crying so as not to break. This is not a good time to shed tears.
Rain and Niel sharpen their hearing when Zia's name is called.
"I'm not gonna fuck around, as long as .... "
"Originally what?"
"Sign the letter."
Airin was silent, thinking for a moment.
"All right, let me make a choice. This time I won't ask you to pretend to be dead. Just so you want to sign the surrender of the inheritance. That's enough." Rival's voice was heard.
'Yeah, what choice. It's the same, Buambang. The edges ask for the inheritance ration as well.' Inner Airin, annoyed.
"How's it?" Rival sounded impatient.
"All right."
Airin agreed without thinking twice. Zia's life is worth more than anything.
"good. Don't try to call the police or ask others for help. I want you to come alone tonight. Bye."
"Wait—"
Pips.
Rival disconnects unilaterally, before Airin can ask where Zia is now.
'Sorry, dad, mom. Airin can't keep your house.' Airin regretted his decision a little.
But losing Zia would make him regret many times over.
"Who?" Rain asked as Airin had already kept the phone away from her ear.
"B-not nobody," elak Airin. He couldn't risk telling Rain.
Turning to Niel who was looking at him in full questioning, Airin said, "Niel, thank you for the information. Om and Auntie go first. You go home soon, huh? Be careful on the road."
"Good, Aunt. But how's Zia?"
"Zia must be fine. Let's go home, Mommy." Airin turned around.
A look of astonishment rained towards him from the two men of different ages.
Airin's face that changed immediately after receiving the phone certainly made Rain immediately know if the woman was hiding something.
There is no intention to ask either. Rain understood that if Airin was silent, he would not be ready to tell a story. Then Rain will wait until Airin is ready to share the burden of his mind.
...————...
At 9 p.m.
KIA Picanto Airin shot across the night wind that felt increasingly cold. With the location of the destination according to Rival's request, Airin immediately launched even though the requested time was still one hour.
Don't ask about Rain. Of course he did not know with this reckless action of Airin. In addition to not wanting to drag Rain into his troubles, the terms of Rival also required him to come alone without anyone's help.
The sooner the better. Airin couldn't wait much longer. Too worried about the state of the princess just wayangnya.
Is she okay? Has Zia eaten yet? Did Rival treat him well? What if Rival is impatient with Zia?
All questions keep raging in the mind. Actually Airin was tormented waiting for the time promised Rival. It was as if that time was a sharp dagger that could kill him at any moment.
Airin stopped the car in front of an old building. If not in a desperate condition like this, amit-amit he wants to step closer to the old building.
Even for him now, the threat of Rival was more sinister than the astral beings that might inhabit the place.
Grabbing a phone that resides in a thick coat pocket, Airin intends to send a chat to Rival.
Drrt....
Sign in. Rooftops.
Take a breath to gather courage, before entering the haunted old building. With minimal illumination, Airin also turned on the flashlight on the phone to help illuminate the road.
"Bismillah .. "bluff Airin before taking the first step.
Airin continued to recite prayers as he walked on the foot of the abandoned building.
'Anyway, Rival is weird. Ask to meet in a place like this. It should be in a ten-star luxury building, while enjoying expensive dishes. Drink together. Then order kamar—eh, how to get to the room? Come, Rin. Get those dirty thoughts out of your brain. Focus on Zia.' Airin shook his head as crazy thoughts began to strike.
After he finished issuing every prayer he memorized, Airin cursed his cousin. Continued by passing the names of food and animals.
Keep trying to keep his mind from being empty. No doubt Airin sang Korean songs that he memorized while dancing is unclear.
Let him look like a madman. If you get into a trance in this place, the more troublesome the business.
Chequek.
Kriyet...
The sound of the rooftop door made of iron sounded loud, because the hinges were already rusty.
Phew.
Finally, Airin arrived at the rooftop located on the third floor, although with a heart that was too rough, cold sweat had also poured from his forehead. Don't ask her feet that have goosebumps disco.
Sharpen his gaze when he saw a familiar figure several meters in front of him.
"Zia!" pekiknya, running closer to the figure of a small child who seemed to droop tied to a chair.
No lights or other lighting. Airin relied solely on a cell phone flashlight and moonlight that seemed to be on his side.
"You're coming too." The heavy voice of men did not dampen Airin's intention to approach.
"Release Zia!"
Although darkness enveloped the view, Airin was certain that the figure standing beside Zia was Rival.
"Are you alone?" Rival.
"You didn't see it, huh?!"
"alright. Come and turn off the flashlight."
"What?!"
"I will not repeat my words."
Is he crazy? But it's dark.
Airin complied, but his mind continued to feed on Rival. Because they rule. If it wasn't for Zia, Airin wouldn't have obeyed the cunning man.
"Zia!" Airin immediately hugged Zia after turning off the flashlight and eroding the distance between them.
Hearing Zia's regular breathing, Airin was sure that her daughter was asleep. Or maybe intentionally sleeping. I don't know.
"Sign this letter." Rival handed over a piece of file to Airin, not caring that the woman was taking off her miss.
A day of not hearing Zia's rant makes Airin's day feel empty.
"I'm sure your eyes aren't myopic." Rival taunts make Airin immediately hit the ballpoint pen and then inscribe the original sign on the file, with a groin of Zia in front of him.
"It has. You satisfied? Zia, are you okay, son?" Airin's hand tries to untie Zia's tiny body.
After retrieving the file from Airin's hand, Rival left from there. Airin who was too worried did not feel the awkwardness of Rival's attitude.
Blam it!
The rooftop door slammed hard. Airin got out of position.
"Rival?"
Airin dizzy looking for his cousin who is like lost in the darkness.
Silent.
"Rivals! Don't break promises. I've followed everything you want. Akh, shit!" shouted Airin who had stood up while sweeping the surroundings with sharpened netra.
"Oh, come. Do I have to bring Zia, a package with this chair? The rope is hard to open. I don't have a gun at all. I'm stupidly here empty-handed."
"Fuckin' rival! I'll just call Rain.Fuck up with the deal. After all, I've given you my signature." Airin smiled smirkily. Given how careless he is. Also now he has handed over the treasures of his late parents just like that.
While Rival has locked the only access to get out of the rooftop.
"Stop them."
Pips.
Rival turned off his phone after talking to someone.
"Goodbye Airin."
