Let Me Hate

Episode 86's

Luke and Amelia looked at the figure of a tall, pregnant woman standing before them with a judging and probing gaze.

" What made you come here?" asked Asta in a calm voice.

" I'm sorry, ma'am, we came here according to our duties as an assistant to Mr. Nikos Andreakis" Lukas replied.

" Is your duty only to carry out your work or included in the security of Mr Andreakis ?."

" Mistress Correction, previously we did take care of Mr. Andreakis but now our duty has shifted to Mrs Astari Rahayu as the successor of Mr. Andreakis who has been appointed in accordance with the will left by him," answer Amelia.

" So?, but you have not answered whether your duty includes maintaining my security and safety ?."

" Yes, that task is included. We're with 4 other people in charge of keeping Madam safe."

" Four people?, so many?, what if I refuse ?."

" I'm sorry, ma'am, that includes our duties."

" I don't want your presence to be so eye-catching, do you think that your presence doesn't harm me?, I'm a mediocre Asian woman getting an escort from you foreign men. For both of you I accept it because of your duties as a personal assistant. But to the other guards I refused."

" Mistress' permission, we can't jeopardize the Madam's safety by following the request to refuse the escort."

" What if I wear my own bodyguard?, who comes from my own country because it doesn't attract too much attention."

" Do you mind if we discuss it first with Mr Kevin and Mr Krisworo?" asked Luke after looking at Amelia.

" Please. But my decision remains the same" Asta replied stubbornly.

After saying his wish Asta left them all and he himself headed upstairs.

Asta headed for the window that led to the balcony, then his gaze looked far away.

" Is this the kind of life I have to live. There is no freedom to do anything without an escort. Why do people like looking for difficulties in life, is not it easier if everything goes naturally and properly," said Asta slowly.

" May I speak?," asked Sisil when the others agreed to have Asta get an extra escort.

" Please!" answered Krisworo.

" Who knows about Astari Rahayu's identity ?."

" In addition to Amelia and Luke, it's only Pedro and Mr. Andreakis' lawyer" replied Krisworo.

" Did the 4 guards who came with you know the figure of Astari?" asked Sisil to Amelia and Luke.

" No."

" If the identity of Asta is not known by many people, then we must take care of Pedro and the lawyer of the late Mr. Andreakis so that the information does not come out. So the secret about Asta is kept awake. And I agree that even if there is an escort should be done by the Indonesian people themselves so as not to attract attention." said Sisil gave a view.

" Without diminishing respect, I agree with Sisil's opinion. By locking the information on Pedro and Mr. Dominic, all information about Asta remains confidential. So if there is a leak we know who opened it," said Rizky who agreed with Sisil.

" Whether I agree, thus 4 bodyguards who came with Luke can return and be in charge of watching Pedro and Dominic" Kevin agreed.

" Okay sir, we'll follow. It's important that our main task is to help Mrs Astari's work and also to take care of her" Lukas replied.

" I'll excuse you first" said Amelia.

After Luke and Amelia left, Krisworo looked at his sister and brother-in-law in turn.

" Have you thought about the impact of your despair ?."

" It's. I know Asta seems depressed about this situation. She was not free and I was worried about her condition, however she was pregnant. I don't want anything bad to happen to my wife or my son" Kevin replied.

" Frankly, sister, I find this too much if we involve strangers to look after our families, whereas we know Mr. Nik has kept Asta informed only for himself. And he just shared it when it got a bright spot, so why do we behave like making an announcement about Asta," replied Sisil.
