Agora: Love and Hurt

Twenty One

The sound of the gunshot made everyone stare in the same direction. The blood began to remember. Almost everyone there screamed in shock. Danita looked at her hand that already had blood.

Malvin split the crowd. He saw Danita who is currently in Razka's arms. Without hesitation he pulled Danita's arm back to his.

"You're okay?" Ask Malvin.

Danita let go of that hug. Then look at Razka.

"thank you. If there wasn't you, I might have been shot" Danita said.

"I'm glad you're safe."

Some Gun sir's men came. They took the woman who was shot away. The others cleaned the woman's blood.

"We're leaving."

Malvin violently pulls Danita's hand out of the villa. Other guests did the same. They even wondered what was going on.

"Why do you want to dance with Razka?"

"He saved me again. I like that."

Malvin clucked.

"At least you don't love me. It doesn't matter, then what are you doing this for."

"Come in."

Malvin pushes Danita into the car. For some reason, but Malvin felt so tormented when he saw Danita with Razka. She felt that Danita was hers, just hers.

Malvin doesn't care about Danita's screams and frightened face. He continued to drive his car with mischief. Even in just a short time Malvin has arrived at a place.

Malvin came down and looked at a guard.

"Slow him in" said Malvin.

The man did it. He pulled Danita's hand hard. Even Danita's steps that can not compensate make Danita several times fell. That guy doesn't care at all.

Just entered Danita has seen an unpleasant sight. There are some rooms that look like cages. Danita can see the people in there. They look terrible with their wounds and looks.

"Lake in."

Danita was pushed into a room. Malvin sat in the chair staring at a man who was being tortured. At first Danita was just horrified, until she realized who the man who was being tortured was.

"Uncle Mike!" Shouted Danita.

Without hesitation he immediately hugged Uncle Mike. It didn't matter if he too would end up being tortured.

"Female," said Uncle Mike.

"Uncle. What is this Uncle? Why is Uncle like this?" Danita's face was so poignant. Then he looked at Malvin, "Let go of Uncle Mike. He doesn't know anything Malvin."

Malvin smiled cynically. He looked at Danita who looked so pitiful.

"How he's not wrong. All this time your Uncle Mike's been hiding you. That's a big mistake for me."

"I've been in your hands. Please let Uncle Mike go."

"I'll do as you please, but give me the lily pendant necklace."

Danita looked at Uncle Mike. Even though Uncle Mike's been so rude. Uncle Mike was the one who took care of him. Not anyone else, maybe even Danita will lose her way.

"I'll give it."

"Don't Danita" said Uncle Mike.

"Uncle, I don't care about Uncle. I just want Uncle to be okay."

"Female. You have to keep that necklace like your life. Uncle doesn't care about this torture. The important thing is that the necklace is in the right grip."

At that time Danita did not know what to do. Danita sat down with tears dripping down.

"Torture him." Malvin's voice echoed.

Back whipping for whipping hit Uncle Mike's body. Danita is crying hysterically. As he was about to try to get closer, Malvin pulled him away.

The sound of Danita's cry was so soft, but it was heartbreaking to hear it. Malvin put Danita back in the car. Not wanting to hear Danita keep crying Malvin chose to inject the dope. At least Danita won't make him dizzy.

Danita's cry involuntarily touched Malvin's heart. Makes the man almost wobbly. So he did all this so that Danita wouldn't make him stop in her goal.

"I was unintentional. We're dancing."

"Do you think I believe? You tried to meet that woman a few times. He's not just Razka's guy. You could've been killed for it."

Razka doesn't care what Mel says. He went back to drinking and put the empty glass down hard. Staring at Mel with his cynical smile.

"We're close, but that doesn't mean you can take care of my life."

Razka justifies his suit and leaves just like that. Mel shook his hand. She was really upset with her cousin's sister.

"Miss Mel."

"What?" Mel replied in a annoyed tone.

"Miss Laura is waiting in the reading room."

"I'm there" said Mel who just left.

Laura sat down uneasily in the reading room. He felt his work was wrong this time. Mel will definitely not let go of it so easily.

"Miss Mel." Lirih Laura as soon as Mel entered.

Mel looked at Laura. He approached and grabbed Laura's chin. Laura was just silent, this moment of resignation was the thing she needed to do.

"Why not right? Twice, you failed again Lau."

"Sorry Miss."

"sorry. Do you think that only with forgiveness can I calm down?" Mel let Laura go. He stared at the glass wall beside him.

Remembering once again how Malvin treated Danita. How Razka's after him. All this really pisses Mel off.

"I'll let you go. It's just, if I need to. You have to come."

"Ba good Miss Mel."

"Go."

Laura hurried out of Danita's room. Even the guards were staring at Laura. It made Laura feel so scared. He kept running outside the villa. At that time, the guests had a few.

"Please. You here?"

Laura without hesitation hugged Lucas at that moment. Lucas was shocked to see Laura there. Lucas let go of the hug and looked at Laura.

"Yes. I have a job here. Why are you here?"

"I. I know Miss Mel. We're pretty close."

"That's it."

"Do you want to go home?" Ask Laura.

"Yes. What's up?"

"Can I go home with you. I didn't bring a vehicle."

Lucas looked at Laura once more. From Laura's gaze it was obvious that she was terrified. Lucas even looked back at Laura. There's nothing.

"Come on." Lucas said later.

"Thank you."

Laura got into the car. A message came into Laura's cell phone.

*You like my gift, don't you? More than your pay.*

After reading the message from Miss Mel. Laura looked at Lucas who was slowly running his car. It turns out Miss Mel did this on purpose. As payment for what Laura did for him.

Razka stared at her phone screen several times. He hesitates to send Danita a message. What else did Malvin take him by force. Just daja, Razka can't lie. She has been bewitched by Danita since she first met. What else with the dance.

*Hey. I kept my promise to give you a message.*

The message was sent by Razka. He does not know at this time Danita is still asleep because of the anesthetic influence given by Malvin.

*Didn't you like me giving messages? Is your husband angry?*

Back the message was sent by Razka. He was eager to get a reply message. Sometimes the response is not in line with expectations.

Malvin stared at Danita's phone screen which was on several times. He picked up and looked at the messages. Without a name, this makes Malvin feel upset. His wife already has fans.
