JiHan (Promise and Betrayal)

Deal

Alice awoke when a notification message entered her phone, her voice deliberately made noise woke her up. The girl took her phone on the nightstand with her eyes still closed and her body still hugging the bolster.

With eyes still adjusting the light, the girl tried to read the contents of the message still in a supine position.

💌 "You're looking for me." The contents of a message from a number are not known, but somehow he is sure that the message was sent by Bahar.

Several times he tried to read the contents of the message, and finally realized the lives that had been collected. Alice sat on the mattress and leaned back with the headrest, the girl immediately shifted the phone's alley icon to call the number that was likely the man's.

📞 "Are you that?" Say Alice when the phone call is connected.

📞 "Yes.. Its me.. What's looking for me?" Asked coldly the voice over there.

📞 "I want to meet and discuss a deal with you. Can I meet you?" Alice asked again to meet the man.

📞 "...." There was no response from the man for a long time.

📞 "What happened? I came to the pure bar and you weren't there." Alice broke the silence.

📞 "Don't look for me there and never set foot there again." Ucal the cold voice again.

📞 "Well I won't be there to disturb you, but can you tell me where we can meet? There's something I want to tell you." Said Alice again.

📞 "Say." Say that cold voice again.

📞 "On the phone?" Alice said, but there was no reply from the man. Alice finally relented and said her intention over the phone instead of nothing at all.

📞 "I need your help. A few days earlier Belinda had sent a group of people to arrest me and try to eliminate me. Can you help me find evidence of his attachment in person or at least I want to get another proof of their guilt on a case." Alice Obviously.

📞 "..." No answer from there. The man was holding back his emotions by clenching both of his hands when he heard Alice's explanation.

📞 "Well it's not your duty to tell me but can you help me, what should I do, at least to get justice for the deaths of both my parents and my two grandfathers." Alice said with a slight grit her teeth annoyedly mixed with sadness.

📞 "Huft.." The sound of heavy breathing was heard from there.

📞 "Can you not take revenge? I will promise you neither Belinda nor Fiktor will have a quiet life at this time. Let me avenge it for you. I'll definitely eliminate it myself." Bahar said coldly and tried to convince Alice.

📞 "No... I don't want them to disappear so easily! I want them to suffer in prison for the rest of their lives. Death is too easy and luxurious for them!" Alice's voice of emotion.

📞 "Well if you want it like that, I'll help you." Said Bahar who came back in a calm voice.

📞 "Thank you.. Then what should I do to catch them both?" Ask Alice who is starting to get excited to do her mission.

📞 "Restore your name." The man said briefly.

Alice frowned, the girl had been used to being called by the name Alice Anatasha for a long time, she had almost forgotten the name given by her parents.

📞 "With you regaining your name, some property will instantly belong to you and you can check the data bank in the company regarding the rottenness of Fiktor to get the proof. But you must know, if you get your name back, your current life will definitely never get quiet. Fiktor and Belinda will always try to eliminate you." Bahar said coldly.

📞 "Think carefully, then call me back." The man said coldly and would hang up soon.

However Alice quickly held the man to disconnect the phone call, "Wait.."

📞 "I'll get my name back, what should I do?" Alice asked, making a decision.

📞 "You are really stubborn, knowing what danger you will face if you dare to step up to get your name back." Say a voice over there that now even sounds annoyed.

📞 "I'll take that risk to avenge my parents." Alice said firmly.

📞 "Good.. If you want to know his whereabouts and get your name back, come see doctor Imanuel Brees he's a doctor from small town B in country X. Bring a red necklace with you, and he'll know what to do." Said the man calmly.

📞 "But remember one thing.. If you've tried to take one step forward to return your name, you won't be able to step back even if it's only half an inch." Kecam Bahar firmly.

📞 "I know.. I'll never regret making any decisions.." Alice said no less firmly.

📞 "Well if so.. For all the other information you need is in the folding knife I gave you. Tangal was born mh." Bahar said ambiguously and then the phone call was cut off.

"Well, a folding knife?" Alice was confused by Bahar's last sentence.

Alice immediately approached her hand wallet and then opened it and saw the contents. Alice took the folding knife that Bahar had given her. The girl scrutinized every inch of the blade.

"Ah.. What'sthis?" He asked confusedly when he saw something in the handle of a knife hidden in a crack. Alice took a small knife in her toolkits and gouged the thing. A microSD card dropped on the dresser.

"Huh? Memory card." Alice quickly took the microSD and exited towards Galih's room.

The girl quickly knocked on the door of Galih's room.

Tok tok tok.

The sound of a quick and noisy knock made the owner of the room surprised from his sleep and immediately rushed to open the door of his room.

"Huh? Alice.. What's up?" Ask Galih was still confused, the girl suddenly banged on her room violently and her head still felt dizzy from waking up too fast making her a little unfocused.

Juna who also woke up from his sleep immediately appeared from behind the door of his room when he heard a row across the door of his room.

"What's this?" Ask Juna opened the door of his room wide and was ready with his horses, the man was wailing to see the situation around their hotel room.

"Open this!" Alice orders and shows her something small in her hand. Dig her face closer to Alice's fingers holding the object.

"Memory card?" Galih asked confusedly and frowned.

"Quick check this! This was given by Bahar." Clearly Alice was brief and quickly made Galih aware of her drowsiness.

Seriate....
