Eros turned off his office lights when he was about to leave. He wanted to go home early to accompany Kanya. However, he ended up overtime until 9 in the evening.
Eros’s footsteps were light when he entered the elevator. He took out his cell phone and called Kanya’s number.
He heard Kanya’s voice on the other side of the phone, “Eros, you’re not done yet?”
“I’ll be home soon. Have you had dinner?”
“Not yet. I’m waiting for you for dinner.”
Eros was silent for a moment. He already had dinner but didn’t know Kanya was waiting for him to have dinner together.
“Then you can eat first,” Said Eros to Kanya.
“I don’t want to eat alone. I want to wait for you.”
Kanya was very stubborn, and it made Eros smile. “Alright. I won’t be too long. I hang up now.”
Then Eros got out of the elevator. He took the car keys from his trouser pocket. Today
“Shall we move over to Darwin’s residence?”That question left Kanya stunned for a moment. Her sense of hearing seemed no longer functioning, thanks to that statement. Moving into Darwin’s residence? What rights does Kanya have to live there? What will old Darwin think? Not to mention that Siska also lives there.Kanya doesn’t know how her life will be when she moves to the Darwin residence. She knew Eros had asked her to move to avoid the man in the red raincoat. However, should they move to Darwin’s residence?“But, I have no reason to move to your house. Besides, there were lots of people and I wasn’t used to it. There was Siska too. It’s not that I’m afraid of Siska, but I just felt bad for her.”Kanya’s words made Eros smile and hug the woman even tighter. “You don’t have to worry because I will kick that woman out. After all, we are not engaged and why is she staying in my house while I live outside the residence? Isn’t that unnat
They are already at the place where Samuel Wijaya plans to meet Kanya. At first, Kanya was surprised because Samuel Wijaya asked her to go to the mall. However, Kanya didn’t think of anything anymore and invited the two bodyguards with her.Bren and Viko sat near Kanya’s table. They had given Eros orders to take good care of Kanya, and they should not repeat events like yesterday.Meanwhile, Kanya saw Samuel Wijaya walking towards her. Samuel Wijaya’s smile was stretching as vast as the ocean. Samuel’s expression was very calm, as if Kanya’s rejection didn’t bother him.The man immediately sat in front of Kanya. He did not forget to glance at Bren and Viko. Even though the two men sat near to Kanya, Samuel Wijaya didn’t mind that either. Instead, the man smiled even wider.“Thanks, Kay, for meeting me.”Kanya nodded awkwardly. She still remembers how she rejected Samuel Wijaya’s proposal that night.“You just came home yesterday, Sam. Why do you h
The next day, Kanya took Samuel Wijaya to the airport. She waved her hand at her friend. After Samuel Wijaya entered the departure area, Kanya turned around and left.Viko said to Kanya, “Don’t be sad, Miss Kanya. You still have Boss Eros.”Next to him, Bren laughed at Viko’s words.Kanya stopped in her tracks so that the two bodyguards also stopped spontaneously. “Am I like a woman who lacks men? Samuel Wijaya is my best friend. And I don’t have romantic feelings for him. Keep that in mind, and don’t tease me.” Then Kanya continued her steps.Viko was surprised and didn’t dare to speak, while Bren mocked Viko by rolling his eyes. Viko got annoyed and kicked Bren’s butt. They almost got into a fight behind Kanya, but Kanya glared at them, so they lowered their heads.At that time, Eros was in the airport parking lot. Eros’s present makes Kanya shocked, then she shouted. “Eros.”Eros was leaning his back on the car, and then he asked when Kanya wal
The sound of the bedroom door slowly opened, and it distracted Kanya’s attention. If under normal circumstances, no one would care about the sound of the door. But Kanya was alone in the apartment. Kanya could hear the clockwise combined with the sound of the door every second.Kanya grips the knife. Her eyes focused on the bedroom door, which was opening seconds more.In her mind, she wanted to run to the door and spontaneously open it. But she’s amid fear now.At this moment, the idea of leaving Eros’s apartment flashed through her fears. She also ran towards the apartment door, and with her trembling hands, she tried to open the door while seeing the man in the red raincoat come out of Eros’ room.Kanya realized something as she grappled with the apartment door. She can’t open the door as if the door’s locked from the outside.“Why! Why!” Kanya screamed like crazy. “You want to play with me? Hmph! If it’s not me who dies tonight, then you are the one
Eros was already in the apartment after getting a call from Viko. And everyone gathered in the living room, and Eros put his arm around Kanya’s shoulder.Kanya’s shoulders were rocking, and cold sweat poured from her forehead. Her mind drifted somewhere, and she felt like she was on the verge of sanity right now.She cupped her face with palms. A few moments later, she turned to Viko and Bren.“You two always arrive late and let me fight alone with that crazy guy. Do you want me to die? Lest you guys deliberately came late.” Accuse Kanya.She couldn’t avoid the thought. Eros was always absent when the man in the red raincoat terrorized her. But Kanya didn’t want to think negatively about Eros.“Forgive us, Miss Kanya. We never meant to be late. After you called me, Bren and I came straight here. There was no intention of coming late.”Kanya was disgusted that this had happened neither once nor twice. She was too lazy even to count. Viko and Bren a
That night Kanya was fast asleep, but the sound of knocking woke her up. Slowly Kanya rubbing her eyelids and opened her eyes.“Eros,” She muttered.Eros is not beside her. Meanwhile, she remembered that the man was sleeping next to her.“Eros, where are you?”Kanya opened her eyes wide. And She heard the tapping sound was behind her. Kanya rolled her lazy eyes as she turned around.“You ignorant, Eros, how come you didn’t answer me?”However, what Kanya found wasn’t Eros, but the red-figure who was turning his back. Kanya jumped to the side of the bed to avoid the man.Then she ran out of the room. She looked for Eros’s whereabouts, but there was no one in the apartment.“Like this again. Where are you, Eros! Why are you leaving me alone?” Kanya cried out of fear.She turned to the almost open bedroom door. And before the man fully opened it, Kanya immediately opened the apartment door while still looking at the bedroom door.
Those pretty eyes slowly opened. Vaguely she felt a light piercing her sense of sight. Her slender hands covered those eyes. After she opened her eyes, she saw it was already sunny.Hurriedly she got up. As she remembered last night, the man in the red raincoat choked her neck until she was out of breath. After that, Kanya didn’t know what had happened anymore.“I’m not dead yet. Wasn’t that man strangled me last night?”Kanya touched her neck and felt pain.“It hurts,” She groaned.“You woke up already?” Eros asked as he walked into the room.“Eros?” Kanya stared at Eros for a long time. Somehow her heart was not at ease finding Eros today.“I brought breakfast for you.”Kanya’s gaze aimed at Eros was as sharp as the tip of a sword. This man did not know when she was on the verge of death. Last night was so scary for her that she felt there was no tomorrow.“Why are you looking at me like that?”Instead of answering Eros’s
Kanya steadying herself and asked to meet Siska. Her suspicion towards Eros makes her have a headache. Therefore, she wanted to meet Siska.Although initially, Siska refused. However, with her persistence, Kanya convinced the woman.As a result, right now, they were sitting in a cafe. The two of them are so awkward with each other.“Why do you want to meet me?”“Eros.”Siska frowned. “Eros?”“Did you meet Eros last night?”“Why? Are you jealous?” Siska laughed wryly.“No, that’s not it.”“So what? Are you still not satisfied after getting Eros and then want me to leave Darwin’s resident? You’re quite greedy.”Kanya sighed after being blown out by Siska. “That’s not what I mean. I’m not here to kick you out of Darwin’s resident. I have no thoughts of leaving anyone out. You misunderstand. I want to ask you—”
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.
