Both of Rui's eyes were rounded at once hearing the statement from the girl before him.
With her sad face and pitiful gaze she said something that even Rui could not accept.
"Eleeya, do you know what you're saying?"
"..."
Back the girl is silent and takes her eyes off Rui, making Rui more riled up and more confused by the change of the girl.
Physically it was obviously the same Eleeya, but she was not the Eleeya who would always smile when looking at Rui like she used to be,the girl who was in front of Rui was the girl who even took her eyes off many times as if she did not want to see Rui's face again, to be honest it made Rui's heart so slightly hurt.
Instantly silence struck between the two of them, until finally the silence was broken when the ringing of Rui's cell phone echoed in the room.
"Yes Tian"
"Rui, we have no other choice, we have to release them" Tian said from across the street.
"What's?It's impossible, we just need a little more to force him to admit his actions" replied Rui not accept with Tian's statement.
"Rui, you should understand, what can we do?We don't even have any evidence, your file I gave you but it's not enough"
"...But"
"You shouldn't be selfish" Tian ended the conversation on the phone.
Rui closed her eyes for a moment after realizing that all of this effort was nothing.
Then his netra looked straight at Eleya who was bowing her face.
"Are you going to keep quiet like that, Eleya?" asked Rui who was holding back her frustration.
Then in another room, Yohan was sitting with her hands still cuffed.She looked straight with her blank gaze, not talking anything nor did anything.
"If they are lovers, then it will not be good for us" said Tian who was standing not far from where Yohan was sitting.
"Hah, my head almost broke, from earlier my muscles stiffened when outside" Alana said with a sigh.
"I shouldn't have listened and trusted him when he said he found the culprit" Tian said twisting his forehead.
Alana glanced at Yohan who was still impressed daydreaming with her blank look, she really looked helpless when she was separated from the girl.
Then, something surprised Alana, making the woman jerk and link her eyebrows together.
Yohan just glanced at him and showed a small smile to Alana, of course it was only aimed at Alana because only the woman saw it.
What the fuck is that smile?It looked as if he was mocking me, Alana thought in her heart.
Instantly Alana turned her body and face to no longer face the man who made her heart beat fast just because of a smile, or rather a grin.
"You okay, Lana?Your face is pale, you're not feeling well?" tian asked who was confused when he saw the change in Alana.
"...I'm fine, don't worry" replied Alana who then glanced at Yohan for a moment.
"Ah Tian, I don't think it's wrong for us to trust Rui, I don't completely blame her for this" Alana said.
"Well, you've always been like that to that kid, haven't you?" answer Tian.
"..."
"And rather than that, we have a new problem now" Tian said suddenly while showing his phone ringing.
Tian and Alana stared at each other when they found out that their boss, Mr. Nathan, was calling Tian right now.
Inevitably Tian then answered the call.
"Hah, he is very angry and now he is almost here" Tian said with a sigh.
Alana becomes unfocused because of the grin Yohan throws at her.
It felt like he understood why Rui was so certain this time, that man indeed must have had something to do with the missing person's case.
But what's wrong here is the fact that they have no solid evidence, and the witness that Rui had even seemed to defend the man.
"Better we meet him, he will also be fine here, both hands are still handcuffed" Alana told Tian
"Yes you're right" Tian replied as he nodded his head.
In the end they both came out of the room leaving Yohan who was sitting looking straight ahead, with her blank gaze, who would know what she was thinking at that moment.
"What's wrong with you guys?" said Mr. Nathan as he walked quickly to the room occupied by Eleeya and Rui.
"Head man, listen first, he was very confident when he told us" Tian explained as he followed Mr. Nathan's hasty path.
"The kid's never not sure, you know what I mean, right?"
"..."
"Sir Chief, please calm down" said Alana trying to calm her superiors who looked very angry.
"So where's the kid?" ask Mr. Nathan.
"He's in the room, Chief" Tian replied pointing to a room in the middle.
With a heavy sigh, Father Nathan stepped foot to meet Rui, but his steps stopped when he found Rui who came out of the room hurriedly while clenching his hands.
That obviously made Mr. Nathan and Tian also Alana surprised, especially when he knew he entered the room right next to him which was clearly there Yohan in his.
Seeing that they immediately followed Rui who looked very upset.
Rui walked quickly towards Yohan who was daydreaming and threw her punch right in Yohan's face.
Yohan who was surprised and frantically tried to avoid the blows Rui hit him.
"Based on a crazy liar, bastard" shouted Rui continuously hitting Yohan.
"What do you mean" said Yohan who looked shocked at the time.
"RUI STOP!" Shouted Mr. Nathan from a distance.
Rui stopped when she heard Mr. Nathan's voice yelling at her, with his hands still firmly clutching the collar of Yohan's shirt, she was jolted when she learned of Mr. Nathan's arrival at that time.
Seeing that it was Mr. Nathan who came, Johan thrashed and finally the grip on his collar was released, it made Yohan move away from Rui and closer towards Mr. Nathan.
"Sir help me, he just kept hitting me, even though I didn't do anything" Yohan said, displaying a plain look on his face.
"Yohan?" said Mr. Nathan who was surprised to learn that the person accused of being the perpetrator for Rui was Yohan.
"Sir Chief, this is not..."
"ENOUGH!" snapped Mr. Nathan and made everyone there jerk, not least Alana and Tian.
"Tian and Alana, take Yohan to another room and take off her handcuffs, give her a glass of water" Nathan said.
Tian and Alana could do nothing but obey the orders of her superiors.
Alana turned her gaze towards Rui, for the first time she saw how pitiful her man was, she looked so confused, but there was nothing the girl could do at this moment.
"Go back, come back to your office, I'll meet you there" Nathan said as he turned his back.
"But Chief, I..."
"GUYS!" Shouted Mr. Nathan and made Rui flinch.
"Stop making a mess, follow my words, for the good of all of us" Nathan said and walked away.
Rui silently stared at the back of Mr. Nathan who was walking away, that day he felt his world as if it was collapsing, he bit his lower lip holding back his wrath, that day, kicking something that was there to just let go of the tightness in his chest.
