Agora: Love and Hurt

Lima

Lin's steps were so nimble. He's done checking the waiters' work. Looking at the schedule, today Lin had enough time to himself.

The back garden became Lin's headquarters. He sat among the blooming flowers. Then he opened his phone and called a number. Miss Mel. It was the name that was on Lin's phone screen this time.

"Hello. What's up Lin?" Mel asked as he picked up the phone.

"Miss. How are you?"

"I'm good. Tell me, what's the info?"

Lin smiled slyly. He then said, "Five million for this info?"

Mel thought a little. Five million was small for him. It was just what info Lin would provide for this five million buck.

"How's Miss? If I don't want to, I'll disconnect this phone."

"alright. Say."

Lin said everything. All this time he's been an informant for Mel. It wasn't really because Mel wanted to, but Lin was always looking for him. Lin knows if Mel keeps the flavor on Malvin. So, he thought of a way to earn more money.

"Are you sure?" Mel asked in disbelief.

"Yes. Even Mr. Malvin doesn't want a room with that woman."

"Thank you."

Mel decided on one side of the phone. Even so Lin's smile was blotted out. Five million dollars have entered his account. It's certainly very happy.

Lin was unconscious. Malvin's in the back yard, too. He's working on some things. Being bored in the room so he chose in the garden. I didn't know if he would get this info.

When Malvin would bully her. It sounded like Lin was also calling someone. This time Malvin listened clearly.

"Yes. I know, I'll be watching him right now." Said Lin more firmly.

The voice from Lin's interlocutor was low enough to make Malvin unable to hear it.

"good. I'm gonna find that necklace and give it to you."

The necklace? Malvin's thoughts were immediately fixed on the necklace with a lily pendant in Danita's hand. If Lin can, he'll give it to whom.

Not yet Malvin finished thinking. Lin went back in. He did not expect that the person he had believed in was only a traitor.

Malvin asks Don to investigate Lin. He sits in front of the laptop. Looking for an explanation about marriage, also about married life. When reading it Malvin felt so educated. He couldn't have done any of that with Danita.

Brakes.

Malvin closed his laptop. He did not know what to do, right now he had to protect that Pendant. Must.

***

The meeting just finished. Malvin walked behind Mel. He remembered that Mel would be showing reports about the construction of his Mall. Suddenly Mel almost fell, Malvin immediately pulled him. Now they look like they're hugging.

Malvin's aware. He stood away from Mel. While Mel is feeling happy, Malvin looks worried when he sees it will fall. Mel immediately concludes that Malvin loves her. That's why Malvin didn't want to be with Danita.

"Where's the report?" Ask Malvin.

"I'll send it by email."

"No. Just report directly." Malvin.

Mel smiled happily. He felt early in the morning that Malvin wanted to stay longer.

Malvin's Room. Mel lays out the report. Where the mall will be made is unusual. More facilities than any other mall. This will be a special attraction for visitors.

"Good." Malvin signed it.

Mel was still standing. He occasionally smiled at Malvin. After signature Malvin called Don to enter his room. Not long after Don entered, Malvin stared in surprise at Mel.

"You still here?" Ask Malvin.

"Y.Yes." Yeah."

"You can go." Then Malvin said.

"Good." Mel came out with a look of annoyance.

"Hows it? Does Danita have that necklace?"

"Yes, sir." Answer Don

Malvin seemed to think. There was no way he would suddenly ask about the necklace. He has to start an approach so that Danita will talk her secret.

"Don. Please prepare the car. I'll take Danita to that place."

Don's eyes are round. He did not expect that Malvin would take Danita to the forbidden place. The place where almost all the spies are after him. Agora's House.

"Don. Hurry up."

"Good."

Malvin meant to take Danita there to find out. Danita pretends not to remember or does not remember. If it's Danita who she's looking for, Malvin will put everything in his possession to get the necklace. Where could he have known the secret of the tragic night's murder.

"Lins. Where are we going?" Danita asked who was wearing neat clothes.

"Master wants to take you."

"Where? He didn't even say he was leaving."

"Master is waiting. Go ahead" said Lin.

"Yes." Yeah."

Malvin was in the car. Danita got in, the car slowly walked at a fairly high speed. Make Danita can only hold on without a sound.

It took them a long time until they finally arrived at Agora's house. The house is far from the city. Until there the atmosphere is very different from before.

In the past, there were many people who inhabited. Almost all the houses in the house are empty. They say they are afraid to live there. Because there are still many mafia who come for the house of Agora.

Slowly Danita got out of the car. He looked around. The silent atmosphere made the feathers of Danita's nudge stand. Malvin kept staring at Danita. Looks like Danita just found out about this place.

"Where is this?" Ask Danita.

"The Agora House." Answer Malvin.

"Agora's House?"

"Yes." Yeah."

Danita's steps follow Malvin into the house. It's the same, nothing has changed. Maybe because after the tragedy no one intends to clean it up.

Even in some corners of the house there are still traces of dried blood. Danita's eyes were radiating fear. He walked so close to Malvin. Until a mouse passed his leg.

"Yetoooo."

Danita's hand immediately grabbed Malvin and hugged him. The hug was tight, making it hard for Malvin to breathe. With his power Malvin managed to make Danita let go.

"I'm sorry, there's rats" said Danita.

"Rats are afraid."

Hearing that word Danita just kept quiet. He looks upset at the moment. For Danita the rat is not scary, it's just disgusting. Danita's mind when she meets a rat is a sewer full of garbage.

A few moments around. Until in a well-organized room. The dominant room color is pink, meaning that the one who has is female. Malvin accidentally brings Danita in, he wants to know Danita's attitude inside. Since then, Danita has not given any sign.

A Danita music box approached. He slowly touched it. A small blow can make the dust directly fly somewhere.

"Can this be for me?" Ask Danita.

"Why?"

"Pretty. I want to have it."

"No. Nothing in this house to take."

"Isn't this your home?" Ask Danita.

Malvin laughs amusedly. He realized, this woman in front of him had completely forgotten about herself.

"Where did you get the name Agora?" Ask Malvin later.

"I don't know. From I remember, that name was already mine."

Malvin nodded. Then go back around. Danita opened the box slowly. Soft music began to sound at home.

The shadow of the past reappears before Danita's eyes. The shadow where a little boy in a pretty dress was dancing to the music.

"Female. Danita."

The voice of the woman made Danita look. He thought the woman was calling him. It turned out that the woman was approaching the girl who was dancing.

"Mama. What's up?"

"Later tonight there will be Mr. Brown. You can prepare, right?"

"Will Malvin come too?"

"Mama doesn't know. Come on."

Gently the woman brought the little girl inside. Until finally the shooting tragedy re-emerged in memory.

BRUISES.

Danita's body just fell. The music box in his eyes also began to roll away. Malvin was shocked to hear that voice. Hurry her back to Danita's room. The girl had already collapsed with the music box still on.
