Agora: Love and Hurt

Thirty One

Danita felt her body crumble as soon as she woke up. He was exhausted by the game that Malvin started. Without love, the relationship would not have been established. Although between Danita and Malvin still has not stated each other.

Malvin was no longer by his side when Danita woke up. With slow steps Danita went into the bathroom. Cleaned himself up and got dressed.

When drying hair. Danita remembers Malvin's question about the lily pendant necklace. Danita saw the jewelry box. There's no necklace anymore.

"Where? Obviously I put it here" Danita said as she continued to search for the necklace.

Danita was not even aware that Lin was already behind her.

"See what Madam?"

"Lins. You here? I'm looking for my necklace."

"Callong? Isn't the place where Madam's necklace is in this closet" Lin said as she opened the box containing the necklace.

"Not Lin. Not that necklace. I'm looking for a lily pendant necklace."

Lin was shocked to hear that. In the past, he was assigned here to look for the necklace. It is unexpected that Danita is currently missing the necklace.

"I'll help you."

"Thank you, Lin."

Not the necklace Danita was looking for. Danita's looking for that necklace for another reason. The necklace was so meaningful, only the necklace was there when Danita was so bad. Even Uncle Mike wants Danita to take care of him.

Malvin just came back when he saw his room was a mess. Even Danita looks busy looking for something. Malvin approaches and holds Danita's hand.

"Search what?"

I don't know why Malvin's so smooth on Danita now. Don't even like to see Danita in distress.

"Necklace. The necklace isn't here" Danita said.

"You mean? Your necklace is missing?"

Danita nodded.

"Why are you so careless" Malvin said as he searched.

Danita shut up and went back to looking. This time even Don is looking for her. Malvin kept asking questions and asking Danita to remember where she put her.

Tired of searching and not being found. Danita sat on the couch. He's massaging his own head. This time he felt so lost.

"Get me a drink for Danita, Lin."

"Good sir."

Malvin's sitting next to Danita. For a moment Malvin forgot what had happened between them.

"Where did you put it?" Ask Malvin.

"I always put it in a ring box. I don't know if it's gonna go away."

"How come you're this reckless Danita."

"It's usually there too and it's not lost."

"You calm down first. Let Don find out."

***

Mel sees his phone whenever there's a notification. He hoped Malvin would return the favor soon. Until the oesan was read Mel still did not receive a reply.

*Why not reply. I gave you information.*

Five minutes later.

*Tomorrow to meet.*

After getting the reply message, Mel immediately jumped in joy. He doesn't realize Razka's behind him. Razka approached and whispered, "Did Malvin return your love?"

Mel looked over and found Razka there. Mel hurriedly hung up his phone and tried to not care.

"Do you love her so much?"

"You don't have a job? You always bother me."

"My current job is taking care of you." Answer Razka lightly.

"Dam."

Razka raised her hand which was carrying a mobile phone. Mel just realized that Razka and Pak Gun are currently doing a video call.

"Your son doesn't seem to want me here" Razka said.

"Mels. Respect your little cousin's sister."

"Yes Pa."

"It was Uncle. We're going to have dinner together."

"OK."

The video call ended. Razka keeps her phone and sits in Mel's chair. He looked at Mel who looked so upset.

"Why do you have to do this? We're not that close" Mel said.

"What if we're closer."

"No."

"You quickly rejected me."

"Yes. Because you're not my type, I'm not your type either."

"I knew. Make dinner, I'm hungry."

"No. Get out of my room."

"I'm a guest here, Mel."

Mel pushes Razka out of her room. After that, Mel locked it. He won't until Razka comes back in and affects his mood.

Razka is feeling better. At least Mel won't bother him when he's on the phone. After remembering about Danita. Razka went into her room. Call Danita's number.

"Hello" said Danita.

"I don't think you're gonna answer."

"What's Razka?" Ask Danita.

"Tomorrow you're going to the parlor?"

"Yes. Why?"

"There's nothing. I'm just asking."

"so yeah. I think something's important."

"No. Actually..."

"Women." Call Malvin then.

Razka, who heard Malvin's voice, was again aware of the reality. Danita is not a woman who is easily pursued. She already has a husband.

"sorry. I'll go first." Danita said later.

"good. See you tomorrow."

Danita decided on the phone. He turned to Malvin who had just returned after investigating the missing necklace.

"How's it?" Ask Danita.

"Still not found. Do you remember who came in here?"

Danita remembers that. To where she remembers she saw Mel here. With Malvin, that memory managed to make Danita pout again.

"Why?" Ask Malvin.

"You should remember who came here besides us. Don't you take it?"

"You suspect me?" Ask Malvin later.

"Who else? All this time, it was only you who wanted the necklace so badly. Malvin, I don't care what's in it. Just give me back the necklace."

"Female. I don't understand what you mean."

"forget over. Tonight I want to rest in peace."

Danita chose to go to the guest room and lock it. He took a long breath. Back to what he did with Malvin. How Malvin got so close to Mel, Danita felt so stupid.

Even today Danita thinks Mel and Malvin did it on purpose. To take the necklace he had been keeping.

Malvin can't do anything right now. He doesn't know if Danita will be upset by the question he's asking. Malvin really doesn't know where the necklace is.

"Sir."

"Yes, Don."

"Master. There's actually something you should know."

"What?"

"Maybe Miss Mel took the necklace. Look at this," Don said, showing a cctv recording in front of Malvin's house.

Seen if Mel is looking carefully at the necklace in his hand. After that he walked leisurely away from Malvin's house.

"Fucking email. Tomorrow I have to get it."

"Good Sir. I'll arrange everything."

"No. He'll give me the necklace himself."

Don nodded.

***

Danita woke up. He saw that the sun was already high enough as he opened the window. After cleaning up Danita came out. Look at Malvin drinking coffee. Danita chose not to care and went straight into the kitchen.

"What does the lady want for breakfast?" Ask Lin.

"Anything."

"good. Please sit down."

After food is served. Danita. He kept thinking about the necklace at this moment. His whereabouts are unknown, of course this is so bad.

"Mrs. After breakfast we go to the orphanage" Lin said.

"Yes. Just get the car ready."

Then Malvin came. Gave a sign to Lin and the others to leave. They all leave. Leaving Malvin and Danita.

Danita's aware that there's a Malvin. He put his tools down and he's leaving. Malvin pulls Danita's hand.

"You mad?"

"Yes." Yeah."

"Because Mel you're angry?"

"Mails? I'm looking for that necklace. Give it back."

"Don't you believe me if I don't know?"

"You're not a person to be trusted" Danita said.

"Listen. I'll make you believe it if I don't take it. I'll give you that necklace."

Danita doesn't care. He let go of Malvin's hand and left immediately. Right now Danita doesn't need any nonsense. He wants proof.
