About five minutes Zavier was silent after hearing Alishka's words. Don't like Arshia? Butwhy? Alishka doesn't know, her Arshia is the best. Even when she knew Zavier would work as a bodyguard for a girl, Arshia did not mind in the least.
But whatever it is, Alishka's right to like it or not. Isn't Alishka's nature like that? Easily annoyed with everything, especially when compared. Zavier never compared Arshia to him. Just a mention reflex, because too long may be.
"Alright, I will not mention Arshia's name in front of you anymore" Zavier said softly. Arshia once told him: 'So people don't be cold, talk normally like other humans. Because what? Because I like that'.
Once again Zavier's smile was set automatically. Although he had tried to be normal as Arshia said, still Zavier unconsciously always cold to people he considered not too familiar.
On the other hand, Alishka groaned dislike towards the man next to her. Not mentioning Arshia, but instead smiling to herself while remembering her, isn't it the same?
Zavier did not know just how arrogant Alishka was when she heard the name of others mentioned in front of her, let alone to make an expensive Zavier smile as if there was a 99 percent discount.

The fast-moving hour hand, followed by the darkening of the sky because night had arrived, made this woman's unrest even more. Let alone sitting quietly, breathing well as he forgot.
A dark brunette girl, fashionable clothes, and thin makeup, walked up to the woman and patted her shoulder gently. "Mom, relax. Alishka will definitely be back. Dad's men are looking for him, aren't they?" said it.
"How can you calm down, Alisha? Your sister Alishka .. somehow she is now. And look, it's night. Whether she has eaten or not ... fine or not, Mom is very worried, Alisha," restless Zareen, Alisha and Alishka's mother.
"Alishka will be fine. I've also contacted all her friends, Alishka must have stayed at one of them's."
"Yes, it's possible, if Alishka doesn't threaten to jump into the middle of the sea. If from the beginning Mom knew it would be like this, Mom would never agree to take a vacation here" Zareen regretted.
It should have been last night, she was the one chasing Alishka herself, instead of following her husband to tell Zavier. Zareen memorized the nature of Alishka, when her will is not obeyed, the 20-year-old girl will do everything she can including run away from home— until something that becomes her wish is obeyed.
Alisha moved away as she felt the phone in her hand shake.
"Hello, Dad, how? Alishka's met?"
"......"
"What?"
"......"
"Oh, okay." Alisha moved back to her mother who was now standing by the window.
"Mom" he called his mother.
"Hows it? Alishka's met?" cecar Zareen's.
Alisha shook her head weakly. "Barusan Dad called, police who had checked the entire corner of the resort, found the phone dropped near a fence directly adjacent to the sea. Once opened, it turned out to be Zavier's phone. Then, rubber boats or buoys installed under the fence are also lost. So the possibility ... Alishka and Zavier fell into the ocean, then drifted away with the boat."
"Fall into the sea?"
Alisha nodded slowly without daring to look into the eyes of the mother.
Zareen held the head. Everything around him seemed to be spinning. "Alishka ..," said the woman before falling unconscious.

Darkened. There was no illumination other than the convex moon in the sky and the millions of stars around it. Slender. There is only the pounding of the waves or the sound of birds as far as the ears can hear. And cold. Breeze beach at night feels very cold to the bone.
Zavier sits on a high rock with Alishka. They were there for about two hours. As if there was nothing to talk about, Alishka just hugged herself while looking straight ahead. Same with Zavier, who is lying down with a suit replacing the role of a pillow.
"Zavier ..." call Alishka for the first time in two hours.
"Yes, Miss Alishka?" Zavier looked at the girl even though she was still lying down.
'Yes Miss Alishka-iya Miss Alishka, it is heartless of you to let a girl freeze near you, ' Alishka scolds in your heart. 'The base is insensitive! But .. yes, it's important that he doesn't mention Arshia anymore, ' Alishka's inner self continues to grumble, but Zavier can't hear.
"Borrow your suit, I'm so cold. Look, my clothes aren't whole like this" Alishka looked at her poor self for her knee-length dress.
"Oh, of course," Zavier rose and handed him a black suit which he folded the box as a pillow.
The cold wind was not so pronounced after wearing Zavier's suit, and resulted in the drowsiness of Alishka. Glancing around .. This stone is actually enough to sleep two people. Although the name is a rock, but this stone is quite roomy for sleeping mats.
"Zavier, I'm going to sleep."
"Of course, please sleep. I'm going to sleep downstairs," Zavier inched sideways to move into the stretch of sand.
"Wait," Alishka clasped her wrist.
Forced Zavier to pause and look at his boss' daughter. "Do you need anything?"
"I dare not sleep alone on this stone. Please accompany me, please ...."

"Goddess ...! Dinner is ready!"
"Yes, brother, I'm coming!"
Arshia, a petite beauty, long black hair, and bright brown eyes, rushed to meet the call of her sister from the dining room.
"No word from Zavier yet?" The older sister, Rhea, emerged from the kitchen carrying food.
"No, yet" Arshia shook her head slowly.
"That's how hard LDR is, thank God your sister and I aren't" said Aditya, Rhea's husband.
"Certainly no, you are constantly chasing my brother, even though he does not want to have a criminal partner," Arshia half-sinned.
"Hey, that's my past, yeah! After all Zavier and I are one job, as villains," Aditya chuckled softly.
"Have talked to him before, Mr. Criminals. Now let's have dinner" Rhea told her husband, "and you, keep thinking Zavier won't make you full. Forget for a moment Zavier and eat a full meal. Look at that body of yours, thin dry like every day of Rodi's work."
Arshia breathed a heavy sigh. His appetite seemed to disappear along with Zavier who had not told him since last night. They had not met for a full year, but every night the law must exchange news by phone or video call.
"Sir .. about where Zavier went, huh?" Arshia stared at Rhea who was pouring rice for Aditya.
"Maybe it's a lot of work, Arshia. Just chill. You believe him, don't you?"
Once again Arshia's breath was blowing heavily. Asked to believe, very, completely he believed in Zavier. It's just .. I don't know why he hasn't felt so good since last night.
"Not to worry, Shia, maybe the quota is up, so can't tell," chirped a man who trespassed and plucked food at the table.
"That's you, she said, but asked for a hotspot every day" said Arshia.
"Ck, that's for you too. Tell you what ..., tomorrow I'm going to town, you want to come see Zavier?"
Arshia's brows linked looking at the man, Aryan. "Seriously? What are you going to town for?"
Aryan cheeks met, the man smiled while scratching his head.
"Don't tell me your disease's coming back?" search Arshia.
"Ck, no. I'm going to town for business, Shia, business. I'm in town to research my latest story. If you want to come, I'd be happy to take you."
"Novel 'Towards the 100 Ex', which is based on the writer's true story," led Aditya with an amused laugh.
Aryan whimpering. "Whatever. The important thing is that my novel is a best seller," he's arrogant.
"Yes-yes, Mr. Writer. Sometimes also make our story, no less interesting than the story of your playboy-like," proposed Aditya.
"May think. So, how, Shia? Wanna come?"
