Sarah's POV
I wake up peacefully today. Like what I am doing everyday, I smile and forget the problems that I have encountered for the past few days.
I know that forgetting the problems is not the best solution, but will I let myself be drown in sadness? Of course not. So that I just smile and do several things for me not to remember the problems I am facing.
"Miss Fatima, are you going to your restaurant today?" I asked.
She is fixing herself up so I think that she is going to her restaurant.
"No. I am going to meet my old friend," she answered.
"Oh."
"But that will not take too long. We will just talk about our lives and after that, I will go home," she get her sling bag and walk towards me to hug a goodbye.
"I'll be home before 1pm. Be ready. Later we will start your piano lesson."
"Okay. Bye."
"Bye."
She walk to leave the house while I am the only person here. I locked the door and the gate to ensure my safety. I heard that there are some robbers who enter houses. It is better to prevent that fr happening.
Since I am the only one left in the house, I just read some books from the library.
Yeah, you heard that right. Library.
Miss Fatima is a bibliophile. My dad wants her to be happy so dad built a libraru inside this house. Miss Fatima said that they bought over a thousand books.
"Hmm. What will I read?" I asked myself.
At last, I get The Great Gatsby.
I remember, when I was still a child, Rhea forces me to read this book instead of reading children's book. She said the children's book are just for brainless who will not succeed in life.
Of course, I did what she said. I tried to read the book she wants. But in the end, I surrendred. I can not understand the story for I was still 5 years old when she forced me to read that.
But instead of being mad at this book, I made it as an inspiration to read more and more books, not just today but also in the future.

Rhea's POV
I am here in my house living and waiting for Dwyane to come here. He has all of the materials that we need in order to conduct our plan to sabotage Fatima's restaurant.
When Dwyane already reached my house, we will prepare and organize all of the materials we are going to use. I know that my plan will work effectively.
I stood up when I heard the doorbell rings. I walk towards the gate to open it for Dwyane.
"Do you have all of the materials?" I asked him.
"Of course," he replied and he showed me a big plastic containing tupperwares.
I smiled and I let him enter the house. I close the gate and followed him inside.
"Look, these materials are fresh. I am sure that Fatima's restaurant will surely go down after this," Dwyane said and he burst out an evil laugh.
I joined his laughter.
He is right. This plan will work, and this will be the cause of Fatima's downfall. With that, I can prove that they are real losers.
Or worse, their costumers will file a case against them after our plan.
I can now imagine their lonely faces after we have done our plan. I can see them begging for me, kissing my shoe, and treating me as their master.

Third Person's POV
Rhea is smiling secretly while she is doing her disguise. She puts black contact lens and a black wig. She also hide her freckles on her face. She made her eyes smaller. She looks at herself in the mirror.
"Wow. You really look an Asian and not an American anymore" Dwyane said. "But you are still beautiful."
"Thank you. You are also," Rhea said.
Dwyane also changes himself. He does some make-ups to make himself look as an Asian. His blonde hair became black. He made his tummy bigger than usual so that he will look very differently from his true appearance.
People will surely not be familiar with their faces.
"We need to change our voice from normal. Can you do that?" Rhea asked Dwyane.
"Yes, I can," Dwyane said using a lower voice that is different from his original voice.
They enter their car and Dwyane start driving while the materials are on the compartment.
"Are you ready?" Dwyane asked
"I am born ready," Rhea said confidently.
While driving their way to the restaurant, Rhea saw Fatima talking to another person outside a mall. Fatima and the lady walk inside the mall.
Rhea thinks that this is a perfect time to conduct their plan. Fatima is not in her restaurant. She can move freely. She can easily made the employees head twirl in just a matter of seconds.
"This will be easy," Rhea said to herself.
Finally, the time has come for Rhea and Dwyane. They finally reached the restaurant. Their materials was packed inside a big bag.
"Good afternoon, Sir, Ma'am," the guard greeted them.
"Please open your bag,"the guard added.
Dwyane open the bag. The guard saw the plastics with a mark of a store. The guard thought that those were their groceries so he let them in.
When they finally have a table, the two sit comfortably.
"Good morning, Ma'am, Sir. This is the menu," the waiter said while handling them the menu.
Rhea smiled. The people here are not able to recognize herself.
"Can I just have a one piece chicken and a rice?" Rhea said.
"That's mine too," Dwyane said.
They ordered rice so that it will look that they are real Asians.
"Two orders of chicken with rice. Please wait for 3-5 minutes for your order."
When the waiter already leave, Dwyane and Rhea stood up to do their plan.
They wait outside the chef's area. Luckily, there are only 5 chefs inside. They wait for the moment.
When the four chefs left the area, they enter the room and Dwyane made the remaining chef to go to sleep because of chloroform.
Rhea removes the plastic from her bag. While holding a tupperware, she walks toward the refrigerator. The tupperware contains crickets, while the one the Dwyane is holding contains cockroaches.
Rhea puts the crickets inside the refrigerator while Dwyane let the cockroaches to fly over the food containers.
After conducting their plan, Rhea and Dwyane get their order as take out and immediately leave the restaurant.
They enter their car and they drive away from the restaurant. They are happy, for they made their plan successfully.
But they did not know that there is a CCTV camera in the chef's area, so as in the parking lot.
Third Person's POVNow that Rhea has a hostage, she is sure that the police officers cannot hurt her. She will use this old woman to escape. But if the police are hard, she might kill this woman. She will not let herself be put in such a dirty place like jail. It will destroy the reputation she built for herself."Please... Let me go," the old woman pleaded. Instead of listening to the woman's request she hold her neck even tighter for her to find it difficult to escape from her hands."Just shut up. I'll cut you neck if you make more noise," she whispered on the old woman's ear.Nothing is in Rhea's mind but pure hatred and anger. They started walking and Rhea is exploring her sight to see if there are police officers near them. When she feels that i
Third Person's POVThe attention of everyone is turned to the bunches of police cars driving in the highway. Cars, trucks, buses, motorcycles, and any other vehicles stopped and gave way for the police cars. The siren of the police cars is echoing almost in the whole area. People get out from their houses.It is the first time that the people witnessed this kind of scene. Usually, when the police officers are going to arrest someone, there is only one police car to go, but now is different. It looks like the police authorities are going to capture a group terrorists because of almost eight number of police cars with four police officers inside."Miss Fatima? Dad? Aren't the police over acting?" Sarah asked of nowhere.Sandro looked at her. With that l
Third Person's POVIt is another day and just like yesterday, all of them are waiting for the police to call. But not like what they did last time, they are now doing several things instead just sitting on the couch and staring at the to and wait for it to ring. They made themselves busy but their ears are all lending on the telephone."Miss Fatima, what's this?" Sarah asked while showing the black box that she found inside the cabinet."Oh," Miss Fatima reacted and then walks towards Sarah. She takes a closer look to the black box that Sarah is holding. She smiles widely."That was the box that I am using when I was still teaching," Miss Fatima answered.Sarah was shocked and amaze at the sam
Third Person's POV"Child, someone you love will die. Be careful."That sentence that came from the old woman's mouth kept on ringing inside Sarah's head. Even if she tries to forget it, it is still coming back. She did everything just to remove that sentence on her mind. She tried to focus on any thing that will make her enjoy but it has no sense.After the old woman said those words to her, the whole circulatory system of her started to make the process faster than the normal. Sweats started to build up on her face and her heart can't do anything but to palpitate."I must ignore it," Sarah said to herself.She is now walking back to her home. Even if she already said to her
Sarah's POVThe night passed and the only thing that is circulating in my mind is about the case. I know I can not do so much thing for me to help Miss Fatima and the authorities, but I can not stop myself from thinking several things about it. I am over thinking on things.Yesterday night, I can't sleep well for my mind is not at peace. I am thinking several things that could possibly happen after two days. What if Rhea manage to escape from the police? What if the police will not be able to arrest her? What if we all fail?I know that over thinking and being so freak out about these things does not contribute any help from the police to solve the case. I am still lucky that I made myself fell asleep before eleven in the evening even if my mind is in war."Miss Fatima, where is dad?" I asked her while I am sipping my coffee."As usual, in the garden. He is removing the tall grasses," Mi

He also reminded them that they must not tell anyone about the confession that happen so that Rhea will not be aware that police are now doing the process to arrest her.When they reached their house, they saw Sarah sitting on the couch while writing something. It looks like she does not notice that Miss Fatima and Sandro is already home. She continues on writing something on a piece of paper using colorful pens.Sarah stops on what she is doing when someone sits besides her."What's that?" Miss Fatima asked.Sarah looked at her and she was slightly shocked knowing that Miss Fatima and her father is already at home."When did you come home?" Sarah asked."We
