Secret Room

Shasha's mother turned out to be Alliando's father's best friend and first love. However, due to a problem, they could not be together and then decided to marry someone else.

Once Shasha's father died, they had an affair behind Alliando's mother. Makes his mother very heartbroken and decides to commit suicide. Although some time later, his father also died due to an illness.

(I know I shouldn't blame you, Sha. But I'm too stupid not to do that. Since you are that woman's daughter, I think you deserve to be blamed too. I thought, that woman will surely be in a million times more pain if I hurt you. But .. it turns out I can't really hurt you. Funny right? Even though I was who originally created that hell for you. But I'm also the one who's secretly trying to cool that hell down a little for you. I'm crazy, Sha, and very evil. I understand that you must really hate me. So, if I die later, let the rest of me be yours Sha. At least be kind for just this time and let me be happy, even though I've turned into a floating spirit)

Shasha opened again the diary that Alliando left behind, sheet after sheet.

The writing is still beautiful ..

Even so beautiful that he is often asked to make posters or lesson summaries.

"But I hate that."

She muttered, cupping her head on her knees. She hated it because it was also that pretty writing that had filled her textbooks with ridicule and insults.

Absurd .. All of this is absurd ..

She pulled on her hair anxiously. It felt like her head would explode if it continued like this. Too many things suddenly come to the surface. Even this was the seventh day she couldn't really fall asleep.

The sheets of paper seemed to call out to her. Ask her to re-read them. Then dissolved in the sorrow inherited by Alliando.

Shit!

Even after dying, Alliando still created hell for her life. Can he not just leave his wealth alone without secret appendages like this?.

(There's nothing I hope for but your happines, Sha)

Her face creased as she remembered the last words in Alliando's diary. The last page was covered with blood.

Happy?.

Did he think that after leaving all this secret, she could still be happy? Even acting as usual seemed impossible.

She put the paper back into the antique box, walked straight to the window of her room. It was raining hard outside, as heavy as it was when Alliando was buried.

She touched the condensed glass with the tip of her hand.

"Mom ... What do you think I should do?"

She muttered silently.

"What should I do, Mom ?. Should I hate you too? "

Her eyes sting again.

The mother she loved so much, the woman she used as a role model in her life turned out to be a seizer of other people's husbands.

Unmitigated, even mother managed to make the legal wife retreat. Not only retreating from her husband life, but also completely retreating from this world.

Shasha squeezed her hand hard, trying to compensate for the pain in her heart. In fact, as she remembers, after her father died, her mother always refused the proposal of every man who came to marry her.

"There is nothing else I want to do for the rest of my life except to make Shasha happy."

That's what her mother always says every time she refuses the men who propose to her. And those words always make Shasha smile happily. She was so happy and promised not to get married and only live alone with her mother until old age.

But the truth is ...

"Arrgghh."

She screamed out loud, crouched down and squeezed her hair hard. She didn't want to believe it. She prefers to stay with the belief that her mother is a good and respectable woman who will never interfere with other people's households. But all the evidence that Alliando leave make her to question her belief.

"What should I do, Mom? Please answer me!"

Shasha grabbed Alliando's antic box and threw it on the floor as hard as she could.

Even Nami, who was making dinner for her was shocked by the loud noise she caused.

As fast as lightning Nami ran towards her rooms, knocking on her doors repeatedly,

"Are you okay Sha?"

She asked anxiously.

But of course, there was no answer.

"I beg you, Sha. Don't torture yourself constantly. You haven't been out of your room in a week. You don't even finish your food. "

She pleaded hoarsely. Even the tears had welled up in the corners of her eyes.

'I get hurt too if you get hurt, Sha'

She muttered to herself, continuing to knock on Shasha's door.

Cklekk ..

Nami's eyes widened happily when the knob of Shasha's room turned, indicating that the girl opened her room which had been closed since a week ago.

"Thank goodness you finally came out, Sha,"

Nami hugged Shasha's body tightly,

"Oh my God, what happened to my Shasha? You're like a ghost now. "

She said while stroking Shasha's hair worriedly.

Shasha's appearance was completely different than her usual self. Her long hair was messy with super puffy eyes which meant that she had cried so many times.

"Could you help me? "

Asked Shasha with a flat gaze.

Nami immediately nodded her head quickly,

"Of course."

"Can you take me somewhere?"

"Yes, of course i can!"

Nami replied excitedly.

"Please ... Take me to Alliando's house .."

***

"Who do you think the words will be more trusted, yours or mine?"

Alliando narrowed his eyes sharply, gripping Shasha's chin, which could only be frightened.

There is nothing that she is most afraid of in this school besides Alliando. In fact, every time she wakes up, she always prays that she doesn't have to bump into him during school.

Alliando suddenly brought his mouth closer to her ear,

"Trust me. You will not be able to get out of this hell as long as I live on earth. The only way you can do is to wish me dead soon. Or..."

A cynical smile formed on Alliando's red lips,

"You can kill me, just like that woman did.."

~~~

"Sha .."

"Shasha .."

Shasha's mind that originally wandered into the past now returned to focus on Nami who was sitting on steering seat.

"Oh yes."

She answered briefly, took off the safety belt that was wrapped around her body, opened the door and immediately got out.

Her eyes were staring at the house she had come to a week ago. The house that a week ago feeling flat and cynical. But today she came in with mixed feelings.

"Welcome, Miss Shasha."

Two women dressed as maids rushed over to her. Bowed in front of her respectfully.

She raised her hand uncomfortably,

“Sorry, please treat me like an ordinary guest. I'm not comfortable if you treat me like this. "

The two maids shook their heads in unison,

"Sorry miss, sir Alliando has ordered all the servants to treat Miss with respect."

Shasha's eyebrows twitched as soon as Alliando's name left the mouth of one of the maid. Haha, instead of being happy, Alliando seems to want to make her suffer both physically and spiritually.

Seeing the two maids who showed no sign of changing their attitude made she finally sighed heavily,

"Okay, whatever. Where's Hans, by the way?. I have things to discuss with him."

"Please come with me miss, I will take you to meet Mr. Hans."

One of the maids bowed her body, then invited Shasha to follow her with a hand gesture.

Before following the maid, Shasha turned her head for a moment, looking at Nami who was silent in her place,

"You don't mind if you have to wait for me?"

She asked. Which only Nami answered with a nod of her head.

She then continued her steps, leaving Nami who stood still in place. Even though she knows a little about Shasha's past stories, this is her first time knowing that Alliando is this rich.

She thought, Alliando must be an ordinary bastard who lives a miserable life as karma for hurting Shasha.

But who would have thought, he lived an extraordinary life, seeing the size and luxury of his house.

"Come on miss,"

Nami gasped in surprise when the maid who had been talking to Hana approached her.

"Let me take you to the break room while you wait for Miss Shasha to finish."

She said with a friendly smile

She could only nod again, following the steps of the maid who had already walked in front of her.

***

"Finally you come, miss."

Hans's big smile immediately greeted Shaha when her feet had just entered Hans's office.

He even stood up, approached Shasha who was still standing at the door,

“I have tried to contact Miss many times. But Miss didn't answer my calls at all. "

He picked up and showed his cellphone screen to Shasha.

"Sorry, my cellphone has a problem."

She answered briefly.

She is too lazy to explain that she was so dizzy with the secret that Alliando left behind, that she forgot to charge her cellphone. Ah, she don't know how many hundreds of notifications have come in. In fact, she was sure that her boss had fired her because she never came to the office this week.

"Really?"

Hans suddenly called out to the servant who was standing at the door,

“Immediately order Arnold to buy a new cellphone for Miss Shasha. Choose the best and most expensive.. "

"No need!"

Shasha immediately interrupted Hans's words before the man could finish his sentence.

"I can still use my old cellphone."

"But miss .."

"Instead of thinking about my cellphone, there are other things you should explain to me."

Hans, who was about to protest because of Shasha's refusal, immediately stopped his intention. Hans's face suddenly turned serious. Judging from Shasha's slightly disheveled appearance, he could guess that the woman must have opened the box.

Secretly a sad smile formed on Hans's lips. But it didn't last long because a few seconds later, his face became serious again.

"What do you want to know?"

She looked closely at Hans's face,

"Everything .. Including the reason for Aliando's death"

She replied, tightly clenching her fists.

***

"This is the room where sir Alliando spends the last moment of his life."

Shasha looked at the room in front of her, before looking back at Hans who was standing beside her.

"Sir Alliando advised, no one should enter this room other than Miss Shasha,"

He said, handing over a cloth bag with floral ornaments.

"In this cloth bag is the password to open the door to this room."

After the bag moved to Shasha's hand, then Hans bowed his body,

"Then I'll excuse myself, miss. Hopefully you will find all the things that make you curious soon. "

Said Hans. For some reason, at a glance Shasha saw a deep sadness implied on his face.

He then turned around, walked away leaving Shasha alone. His steps echoed down the immense corridor.

"Are you satisfied now, All?. You idiot! You let your life sink into loneliness even though the woman you desire actually hopes for you to meet death. "

Hans raised his head, stared at the ceiling, struggling to hold back the tears that were about to spill.

“You have to make sure that Shasha is happy. Don't let anyone dare to hurt her. Just watch out if you fail, I will roam and haunt you!"

Alliando's words on the evening before the day of his death rang in Hans's ears. Ah, you're pathetic, Ally..

Very pathetic...

***

Shasha opened her eyes which felt very heavy. A sudden pain hit her head as the sun's rays gushed from behind the blinds directly hit her eyes.

Ah, it was morning again. With this officially 8 days since Alliando's death. For the first time after Alliando's death, she fell into a deep sleep.

Fall asleep after crying and praying uncontrollably while seeing the contents of Alliando's private room. The room that contains everything about Shasha. Including the gifts that Alliando prepared for her but never sent.

She touched her head as the pain struck again. With difficulty she sat down, trying to get up and get out of this room.

She just remembered that she was here with Nami. And she even fell asleep, even though she only intended to see the contents of this room for a while before asking Nami to go home.

Huh ?.

She frowned as her feet hit the floor that felt different from the floor she stepped on last night.

The floor of Alliando's secret room is made of pure granite, while the floor that she is stepping on is now made of wood.

Krieett ..

Her eyes, which were originally fixed on the floor, immediately moved when she heard the door knob.

Wait, isn't it to enter this room using a digital key? So it was impossible for the door knob to slide this loudly.

Her surprise got worse when the door opened wide, and a woman stand on the entrance and grumbled,

"Come on honey, it's time to go to school."

Shasha rubbed her eyes repeatedly, making sure that her eyesight was fine.

But, no matter how many times she rubbed her eyes, the figure was still standing there. In fact, the figure rushed inside, pinching her cheek with exasperation.

"Come on, honey, don't daydream. Immediately take a shower and have breakfast!"

Shasha blinked her eyes many times, then asked in a stunned tone, "Mommy?"

"Yes dear?"

The figure smiled as she stroked Hana's head.

"Mom.. Mommy?!"

Mommy...

Mommy???!!!
