Shia returns to the apartment when the time shows at one in the morning. Slowly the girl opened the door and stepped in slowly, afraid to wake Liam who was outside her room.
“Where to?” that flat and cold tone made Shia look back. Between the open doors Liam stood slightly leaning against the wall. The man's head was still wrapped in the same bandage.
“You left me again” said Liam
“Itu..” Shia suddenly confused what to say. Should he lie to Liam.
“Where to?” Liam repeated his question but in a colder tone. Makes Shia feel alien to Liam for the first time.
“There are affairs outside” replied Shia.
Shia could feel the air around her slowly suffocating, as if there was an aura of dominance controlling her. It was different from the previous atmosphere.
“Why not sleeping?” shia asked, Liam was silent but the man's gaze was shining deeper and deeper.
“You've eaten?” again, he tried to divert the mood. Liam was silent for a moment before shaking slowly.
“Sitting there for a while I will cook food for you” Shia said as she walked towards the kitchen ignoring Liam who was still standing in front of the room door.
Shia opened the refrigerator, she picked up some pasta and some other ingredients. The girl decided to make spaghetti carbonara.
‘KRET’
Shia turned her head when she heard the squeaking of the chair rubbing against the floor and Liam was sitting on a chair directly opposite the kitchen. The blue bead followed every move of Shia as if she was doing reconnaissance.
spaghetti Shia was ripe, when she wanted to lift it, a pair of hands were outstretched first to lift it. Liam the perpetrator just put on his flat face. The man put the spaghetti on a plate.
Shia let him go, this is not the first time Liam has done that. Liam has always been helping her. If Shia cooks then Liam will wash the dishes. If Shia leaves then Liam will clean her apartment. It was always like that for almost a week they lived together. Now the two sit facing each other at the table. Liam ate Spaghetti made by Shia combined with pieces of beef in pansear.
“You didn't eat?” liam asked when Shia was just sitting in front of him and was chin-backed
“Sudah” Say Shia
“Your cooking ability is increasing” Liam chirped, shortly after feeding his food.
“Thanks to someone” says Shia smooth.
The atmosphere became so quiet. Shia was speechless looking at Liam who was eating spaghetti while staring at him. The two beads meet, the deep blue is seen shining in the dim kitchen light, like the eyes of a predator who targets its prey. Makes Shia goosebumps instantly accompanied by a roaring heartbeat. Liam's gaze, made his skin feel burnt.
Liam had already finished his meal, when Shia wanted to take over the plate, Liam's hand outstretched stopping him.
“Let me just.” Sela Liam, Shia smiled faintly and then sat back down at her original place. He looked at Liam who was standing behind him. Suddenly he remembered Alex's words, what if Liam was indeed a dangerous man before his memory disappeared. Shia could not deny the domineering aura that existed within the man. If it's true, will it be okay?
“Liam.” Shia shouted breaking the silence
“Ya” replied Liam without taking his eyes off the dishwasher.
“I first found you in the Greenhills mountains, coinciding with the time when the plane of the first Son of the Hiddleton family crashed” Liam stopped his activity, he was glued still in place, letting tap water continue to flow wet his hands.
“Did you remember something about how you got there?” ask Shia. Liam turned off the faucet and turned completely to Shia. He smiled and then shook slowly.
Shia turned her eyes away from Liam. He looked straight at Liam's room. The touch on his shoulder resuscitated Shia, He turned to find the blue bead that was highlighting her inside. A few minutes ago Liam had finished washing the dishes and approached him.
“Actually there are many things I want to ask you”
Liam puts himself face to face with Shia. A silence filled with awkwardness that Shia could feel. He sighed, easing the nervousness that suddenly struck his chest.
“Do you start remembering things?” shia said, for the umpteenth time she asked.
“As?” Shia pecked, Liam's gaze dented her
“Who are you really?” ask Shia carefully. Liam was silent for a moment.
“I Liam” said
“Ah, I remember something, back then a woman told me not to die”
Shia was silent He looked at Liam with a complicated look. It was his words while in the car after Liam fell and was dying but how could the man remember it. Liam's condition at that time was clearly on the verge of the boundary of consciousness. Something he could not remember, except…
DRTTT
The vibration along with the phone ringtone disperse Shia's daydream.
“Halo” replied Shia when she saw Aunt Ilya calling her. Tumben once the woman called him in the middle of the night.
“Shia hiks Lily, di-dia.” Ilya exclaimed softly to the clear cry of the woman.
Shia glanced at her watch. Two o'clock in the morning, it's not normal if Lily hasn't come home at this time. Given the habit of the woman who was always drunk at the Club, maybe now she was in one of the places.
“What's up?” liam asked softly looking at Shia's confusion. Shia shook her head slowly while listening to the speech accompanied by the cry Ilya made.
“Lily kidnapped, Shia! Aunty called her friend but no one saw Lily!” Ilya continued to make Shia clench her hands tightly.
“Tante calm down first, I'll find out Lily's location. Lily will be safe.”
Shia ran to her room, opening her laptop. With Alex's help he managed to cross the CCTV installed at the Clarikson residence. The CCTV spun off the scene a few hours ago, when Robert got out and drove out in a black sedan.
Then Lily came out in short, tight clothes. Shia had expected Lily to go to the nightclub as usual. But unexpected things happened, some men approached and immediately smothered his mouth with a cloth. When Lily fainted, they lifted her into a jeep and the car moved away.
Shia's room door opened slowly, but it seemed that Shia was unaware of someone's presence in her room. His eyes were fixed on the CCTV footage on his laptop.
“Is something happening?” The sound was right next to Shia's ear to make the girl jump in shock
“Jeez Liam! Why enter without tapping” said Shia, now the attention is back on the laptop screen.
“I've knocked on the door, you're the one who didn't hear it” bela Liam. The man's bead was also focused on the laptop screen in front of Shia
“You're spying on someone? Who?” liam asked when he found out what Shia was doing
“Not spying, rather looking” replied Shia. The girl continued to watch the tape until at last her hand pressed a button to interrupt the video.
“Gotcha” shouts when getting what he's looking for.
