A pair of upright feet stood in front of the courtyard of a house. Bergeming .. stared at the unusual sight that was quite scratching the other side of him. His two eyes rolling swept across the simple building in front of him - it had been ravaged.
There was nothing left but the walls that stood in submission. All in blackened charred state. Smoke was even still visible in some corners, as if to say 'there can't be a single piece left'.
A chain of questions filled his head.
What the hell's going on?
Why is the house burning?
Where's Liz Nadiah?
Is she okay?
"Sorry, do you intend to find Doctor Nadiah?" An old woman broke her rhythm.
He looked back. Then with a faint smile he replied, "Right, Mom. Is she okay?"
The old woman was smiling. There was still a glint of concern from the look in his eyes that was now staring at the charred building. "Lucky he's fine, sir. Just ... Miss Qinay, she died from being caught in the fire" he explained.
There was a sigh of relief from the mouth of the man who was none other than Zack Shangra. He doesn't care about Qinay or anyone else, for him most importantly, Liz Nadiah is fine. "Thank God. But why would this house burn, ma'am?"
"Everything is still under police investigation, sir," the woman replied.
Zack Shangra just nodded. "Then, where is Nadiah now?"
"If I don't hear wrong, Doctor Nadiah is with Young Master Andro."
The information he got from the old woman, enough to make him fail to understand. "Why can Nadiah be with Andromeda?" As he continued to move his car's steering wheel, Zack Shangra muttered with a thick frown on his face. "I have to find out what their relationship is."
Unfortunately, there is no explanation he can get about the relationship between Liz Nadiah and Andromeda. His heart was quite gambled to judge that reality.
Was Andromeda his girlfriend from the beginning?
Or how?
If true, then he is in a difficult position.
Andromeda is not a man. There was no way he would openly show the desire to have Liz Nadiah in front of the man. Or standing as a rival before him blatantly. As he used to do with his previous partners.
Nah!
Investment in the Andromeda plantation kingdom is quite promising. And he did not want to disappoint his proud father-Diraga Madewa.
Thinking about it was enough to make Zack Shangra's head overflow with anger, to want to break the taste.
Maximum gas pedal. He had to think of another way to get Liz Nadiah-take her out of Andromeda's hands. Without destroying his papa's business cooperation.
A giant aquascape with a variety of plants arranged in such a way in a clear water bath. Various ornamental fish of various types and sizes, flocking to and fro complement each other in differences. A mini waterfall complete with rocks and all its formations - almost resembling the truth, very beautiful to be a complement in it.
The beauty that is located in the garden behind the Andromeda house is enough to calm and spoil the vision. But it had no effect whatsoever for Liz Nadiah who was currently standing speechless nearby. As if all of that was worth nothing. Just a stare without content that he was either aiming at what.
The statement made by Tirta Patih a few hours ago is enough to make him - between confused, sad, also fragile, blend into one.
Diraga Madewa is nowhere to be found. The old man fled. Even in travel access data at all airports or ports, no one attached his name as a passenger. And Muana .. there was no information she got about the woman's whereabouts. Zack Shangra has not been able to be questioned about the whereabouts of his adoptive father. The young man seemed to have drowned himself.
"Your house was deliberately burned".
The last information from Tirta was what made his heart even more painful. Qinay's death was an element of willfulness. The girl was trapped because she could not open all the doors, including the window for her to escape from the blanket of fire.
"Relax .. Everything will be fine. You're safe here." The sexy voice managed to tease Liz Nadiah. Andromeda came with a glass of warm tea in his hand. "drink. The air's pretty cold, "gagging.
And it is very cold, so it penetrates the pores. The rain had fallen from two hours ago, shortly after Tirta Patih resigned.
"Thank you" said Liz Nadiah, taking the cup and the base from Andromeda's hand.
"Sit down" Andromeda's pinta. "I can't massage you when you're sore, because you've been standing there for too long" he added. "Unless you ask."
Liz Nadiah grunts. He followed Andromeda, who had sat in a rattan chair in the corner of the terrace.
Slowly the tea was sipped with feeling.
Andromeda's lips pulled to the side. "Later in the afternoon, we'll go shopping" he said suddenly.
And it spontaneously provoked Liz Nadiah's gaze towards her. "Shopping? Meanin?"
Leisurely crossing his legs, Andromeda's fingers rubbed the smooth edges of the cup held by his other hand, as if there was a stain he was removing from it. "Buying clothes for you."
Liz Nadiah put on a slightly surprised face - just a little. "Shirt? For me?"
"Hm."
"But ...."
"You can't mind!" sergeant Andromeda. "That's if you don't want your body to smell like you wear the same clothes every day."
Andromeda is quite clear.
And that's right, all of his clothes were left in the fire, other than the one Andromeda bought last night, which was now attached to his body. That'sallthatis.
Liz Nadiah could not avoid, even though he actually quite objected, because again Andromeda added a pile of debt on him. "You're right. I just remembered after you said that just now, that I don't even have a single dress."
Andromeda responded with a faint smile, "Just calm down. We'll get your closet full again."
Not knowing how to respond in any way, Liz Nadiah stared stiffly at Andromeda. That shitty guy ... Why is it this sweet?
"From your eyes you get stained continuously. I suggest ..." Andromeda smirked ignorantly looking at the woman before him, "we just throw it away!"
The strand of words suddenly pulled Liz Nadiah from the man's charm trap. A jolted expression filled his entire face at this moment. "What did you say?" tanyanya.
The crystal cup of warm tea was placed Andromeda on a table that blocked him and Liz Nadiah. A fleeting clinking sound was heard from the glass mat and the clashing table cover glass. After that he got up, then moved towards Liz Nadiah.
Slowly, Andromeda lowered his body-studded before the woman. I don't know what he's going to do.
While Liz Nadiah himself is still silent. His body looks a little shuffled. There was clearly confusion on his face. What will that man do?
Although quite hesitant at first, but slowly, the palm of Andromeda grasped both palms of Liz Nadiah, after first putting the tea cup that the woman grasped.
"I know this must have surprised you. But .. I think
... Only in this way can I freely protect you."
"You-you mean?" Liz Nadiah cuts with a wrinkled forehead. Quite impatient even though it sounds stiff. His heart began to thump unruffled.
No joking looks. The annoying face that even a moment ago still seemed, now changed the look of hope that anyone might not believe.
"Gift ... marry me!"
