Kanya’s POV
“Eros?”
Today I was discharged from the hospital, but Eros still hasn’t returned. So I called to tell him.
“How was your day?” Eros asked from the end of the phone after I called his name, “You call me more often after being in the hospital.”
“I promised I would contact you. And I’ve kept my promise. Oh, yes, I can go home now. I called you to let you know.”
“I’m still busy right now. After lunch, I have a meeting. So, I can’t pick you up. It is okay, right?” Eros asked in a guilty tone.
Why should he feel guilty just for not being able to pick me up?
“It’s okay, Eros. What time will you be home later? Do you want me to cook dinner for you?”
“You’re still sick. I just want you to rest and do nothing. I’m likely to be home late at night. So, you go to sleep first.”
“Okay! Then I hang up the phone. I want to go home now.”<
Eros's POV"Grandfather investigating my private life?"After asking, I turned to Siska and didn't forget to put my gaze on.“Siska, you can get out. Eros won't bother you anymore.”Siska hesitated, "But—""Do you want to listen to family talks?" I interrupted Siska who was hesitating and wanted to interfere in this conversation. Somehow grandfather asked Kanya when Siska was here. “You are not a member of the Darwin family. And you see, I will find evidence regarding your crimes.”I saw Siska clench her fists tightly. it seemed that he was both agitated and angry to death."I'm leaving now."Siska gave up and finally left grandfather's office. Now is the time for me to continue my conversation with my grandfather."Why are you stalking my private life?" I asked again
Kanya’s POVAfter hearing Bren’s explanation, I found it very confusing.Where did that man know my apartment password?That man can’t know all the passwords in this building. Or did he do everything he could to find out the password for my apartment because he was targeting me?“Viko’s still not back yet?”Bren shook his head, “Not yet.”“I hope he’ll get something from CCTV.”“Hopefully.”I sat back down with a sigh, then rolled my eyes thoughtfully.By the way, I am exhausted and want to rest for a while, but this makes me unable to rest at all. Even if I close my eyes, I still can’t sleep well because the psychopathic image appears out of nowhere.The bell rang again, it seemed that Viko had returned, “Bren, open the door.”Bren nodded, then walked towards the door.A
At that time, in the middle of the night, in an abandoned old hut. Even a lot of dust in the hut could be smelled by the old man leaning against the wooden wall. The man’s breathing was regular, his eyes closed as if he didn’t care about the outside world. The old man still closed his eyes even though a man dressed in red was in front of him as if a burning fire. The man in red was studying the curve of the old, wrinkled face. “You know this is your last day, Henry?” The man asked casually as if they were friends. When he heard the man’s voice, the old man named Henry opened his eyelids slowly. Suppose other people would be afraid of the man’s appearance in front of him and shivered to ask forgiveness for their lives, however, not with Henry, who is very calm as the clouds in the sky. Seeing Henry, who
That morning, Eros went to the office as usual, while Kanya stood at the door to see Eros get into the elevator.They are like husband and wife since living together for several days. Kanya then went into the apartment. She didn’t see a single neighbor come out of their apartment. Neither did her neighbors say anything about her living in Eros’ apartment.Kanya is like living in her apartment. So he didn’t pay much attention to formality.Today she will meet Samuel Wijaya at a restaurant not far from his apartment building.It’s still early morning, and Kanya has time to do her usual activities.After entering the apartment, Kanya opened her laptop, and as usual, she wrote the next chapter for her new novel.Too many things have happened in the past month or so. It Makes Kanya not focus on writing, so there are not many chapters that can be written.Now she will sta
“Director, Miss Ersa would like to see you.” Rudy broke the news to Eros, who was preparing to go home.Eros nodded and thought for a moment, “Then we’ll meet her.”Rudy opened the car door for Eros, then saying, “Alright, but she wants to meet you at the restaurant over dinner.”After getting into the car, Eros frowned as he looked at Rudy. When he first met the woman, she sent him to the bar and now asks him to have dinner.“What she wants? Does she just want to have dinner with me?”“Seems to be related to Henry.”Eros seemed to think again, and if it’s about Henry, he needs to meet Ersa. However, if Ersa just wanted to make small talk and asked him out to dinner, he couldn’t meet her. Eros was worried that Kanya would misunderstand him later.“We go th
“That woman ... what’s her name?” Kanya asked hesitantly.In her heart, she was already restless and couldn’t help asking Eros. Eros had already told her who the woman was, but Eros did not tell Ersa’s name.“Ersa,” Eros quickly replied.Kanya casually smiled because he cared about her feelings. Which man will say that he meets another woman? What’s more, they don’t yet recognize each other as a lover in public.Nobody has yet expressed feelings for each other. However, they already looked like real lovers.Eros looked at Kanya and then said, “Grandpa wants to meet you. Do you want to have dinner with Grandpa?”After hearing Eros’s words, Kanya’s heartbeat accelerated. Her hands were spooning food. Stop moving. She is shocked and doesn’t know what to say.The grandfather of the man she liked wanted to meet her, and Eros casually said that.
Eros is busy with his meetings today. So he didn’t pay much attention to his cellphone. Since the afternoon was a tiring meeting just ended. Eros returned to his office.He opened his cellphone and saw a message from Kanya. He Was surprised even to frown.“What is this? Who took this photo?”Eros’s face was filled with anger. How could Eros not get angry if Kanya sent him such a message?However, he knows that Kanya received the photo from someone else. The problem is that he doesn’t know who the sender is.“Rudy! Get into my office.” Eros ordered through the intercom.His eyes flashed with anger when he looked back at the photo on his cellphone. Is this Ersa doing ordering her men to take their pictures?“Director.”Rudy was standing in front of Eros’ table. Saw the anger on his boss’s face. Make Rudy frowned.Eros gave his cell ph
Samuel Wijaya is at his house, feeling very nervous because Kanya continues to be with Eros Darwin. He has accompanied Kanya for over a year but has been replaced by someone new.His heart cannot accept this even though he pretends to be in front of Kanya, only to camouflage him so that Kanya doesn’t get mad at him.Samuel was hesitant to visit Kanya’s apartment this morning. However, his heart was not calm, and he decided to leave his house. He drove towards Kanya’s apartment.Before that, Samuel Wijaya bought breakfast for Kanya. This time, Samuel bought a green bean porridge for Kanya. Green bean porridge is Kanya’s favorite porridge. He thought that Kanya would be happy.Samuel also knows that Kanya must be staying at Eros’s apartment. Therefore he did not tell Kanya that he had already left for his house.“Can I just express feelings for Kanya?” Samuel hesitated, but his feelings for Kanya were
After Samuel Wijaya gave her a dagger, Kanya backed off one step. Seeing the dagger in her hand, she was a little shocked.Why should she be in a choice like this? Why did Samuel Wijaya have to do this to her? But they can talk nicely without having to point knives at each other.They were friends who loved each other for a long time. Kanya also never suspected Samuel Wijaya until yesterday. Why should Samuel Wijaya do such a heinous thing?“Don’t be afraid, Kanya. Just do as you write in your novel.”Kanya raised her face, unwilling to do as ordered by Samuel Wijaya. She threw the dagger to the ground and shouted angrily, “I don’t want to kill my friend!”Hearing this, Samuel Wijaya became furious. He deliberately gives Kanya a chance to get away from him, but Kanya misses the opportunity.“You think I’m still your best friend now? I don’t recognize you as a friend anymore. We’re not best friends anymore, Kanya!”
Kanya turned to the dagger that the man had just tool off. Maybe tonight is her last of breathing air, and soon she’ll meet Eros.She was still sitting on the ground floor, staring at the man approaching her step by step. Kanya is not afraid anymore if the man takes her life. She doesn’t even make any noise at the moment. She was just waiting for the man to take her life.However, is it true that Kanya will not take revenge for Eros, whom she suspects is gone?The man grabbed Kanya’s hair from behind. With no pity in his eyes, he pulls Kanya’s hair even stronger. Meanwhile, Kanya moans in silence.“Yesterday, you were screaming, not wanting to die. Now there’s no fear in your face. Are you ready to die?”Kanya didn’t answer the fucking guy’s question. She kept quiet and glared at the man. It was as if her eyes stressed that the man was going to die at his hands.That fear vanished a while ago. Kanya felt she was on th
That night, Kanya wakes up, she sees the man asleep with his body seated. Kanya feels that the man is off guard at the moment. If only she dared to kill the man, then this moment is a perfect opportunity to end the man’s life.However, Kanya has a soft heart. So she won’t be able to stab that guy. Just by imagining it’s freaking her out. Though Kanya is the author of thriller novels, none can reference if Kanya dares to kill people.Kanya swallowed her saliva deeply when she got out of bed. She strolled so as not to wake the man up. In her heart, Kanya prayed she could get out of there. Although she did not know her way out of this forest, at least she could be free of the man.At that moment, Kanya realizes she can’t open the door. She was annoyed and turned around to see the man leaning over. Kanya can see clearly that the man raised his lips.“Huh!” Kanya feels toyed with by the man who turns out not to sleep.“Many times, y
“Director, there are some huts that we found in the forest. But Miss Kanya wasn’t in the hut. We will continue to search,” Said one of Rudy’s men.“Don’t just search the forest, but look elsewhere too!” Commands Eros in a stern tone.“All right, Director.”Eros’ health has improved. He wants to get well soon and find Kanya. If it takes longer to let Kanya be with the man, then something unexpected might happen. Eros doesn’t want to think that far because he believes Kanya must be okay.“Are you sure that she’s alive?” Siska asked while folding her hand in front of her chest.Hearing Siska’s question makes Eros annoyed. Eros’ sharp gaze falls on Siska. Eros desperately wants to strangle the woman to death. However, since she had taken care of him, he would forgive her.“Get out! I don’t want to see yo
Kanya was still terrified after the incident. The woman’s death was right before her eyes. How could she not be overshadowed? Kanya grabbed her hair like a depressed person.Since yesterday, Kanya has eaten nothing. This morning, the man brought her breakfast. However, Kanya immediately refused the breakfast. The fishy smell of blood fills Kanya’s sense of smell. The man did not clean the blood of the woman he killed last night and let the old shack feel disgusting.“Ah!” Kanya closed her ears.She’s been like that since waking up this morning. Kanya sat on the bed, hugging her knees. Her eyes glanced to the right and the left. Kanya’s eyes are unusual, unlike before that bright.She moved her teeth while scratching her head, then shouted again, “Ah!”The man in the red raincoat outside the hut was dizzy hearing Kanya’s screams since this morning. Then he rushed inside an
In a white room and several people wearing white clothes — standing around the man, one of them nodded and stated that the man’s health had improved. However, the wounds on his stomach that had been sutured still weren’t dry.The people in white came out of the ward. Meanwhile, a woman sits beside the patient.“Eros, how can you be so stupid?” Siska muttered, seeing Eros lying on the patient’s bed.If that woman didn’t come on time, then Eros’s life might not have been saved.“How’s the Director?” Rudy immediately asked when he entered the ward.Siska turned to Rudy, “The critical period is over. He’s fine now.”“Thankfully.” Rudy breathed a sigh of relief.They were anxious when Eros was in critical condition yesterday. However, hearing good news today made them calmer.“Have you found that woman?”“…” Rudy paused for a moment, then looked at Eros, who was still unconscious. “I can’t find her
That night, Kanya was moaning in pain from the wound caused by the man in the raincoat, especially when she thought of Eros, who had died.In her heart, Kanya couldn’t accept Eros gone. Or there was no evidence that Eros died. Maybe the man lied to her.Kanya silently cried until she sobbed. She was lying on the rickety bed with her back to the man in the red raincoat. Kanya did not know what’s her Dault to that man and why she became his prisoner.The man heard Kanya’s cry. He got up from his seat, staring at Kanya’s back. In his hand holding food. The food is for Kanya, but he knows Kanya doesn’t want to eat dinner.Furious, he threw the food at his feet. It made Kanya flinch, her shoulders shivering, but she didn’t want to turn to the man.A moment after that, the man in the red raincoat came out of the hut. He immediately locked the hut so that Kanya didn’t run away.Seeing that the man had left, Kanya lifted her body.
The rough hand touched Kanya’s smooth cheek. His lips smiled brightly after carrying the women and leaving Eros on the roof of the building.Sunlight entered through the small gaps in the rickety hut. Fine dust flying freely. Meanwhile, spiders make cobwebs everywhere. One of the black spiders crawled on the man’s boot. He saw it with a look of disgust then threw the spider away. After that, he stepped on the spider’s round body.One life vanished under his feet. Although only a spider, in its body, there is a soul. That poor soul may have gone to hell by this time.Behind him, the woman with red lips opened her eyes slowly. She found the situation as in her dreams. She had been in this old hut, not once or twice—however, many times.Kanya did not take long and immediately recognized the old hut. “This shack exists,” She muttered.Circled her gaze, but she caught the man in the red raincoat standing not far from her. The memory of la
“E-Eros?”What happened? Why was Eros a victim? Wasn’t Eros the man in the red raincoat as Kanya believed?Kanya felt dizzy, so she took a few steps back and closed her mouth. Her tears fell uncontrollably.All the accusations that she brought against Eros were untrue. Kanya saw with her own eyes that Eros was the victim here. So who is the man in the red raincoat?“Are you shocked and scared?” The man in the raincoat asked with a grin. A terrible face seems very creepy.“Dammit!” Kanya snapped after she gained consciousness.Kanya turned to Eros, who was enduring pain. Then she took a step with her weak legs. She felt very guilty for not wanting to listen to Eros’s explanation. She should have heard rather than accusing him, just because of the evidence she found.That caused her to stay away from Eros, also getting Eros into this problem. Kanya’s steps were getting faster. She immediately threw herself at Eros.
