My Family's Secret

Poisoned tea

The boy arrived first.

I greet her sitting looking at the window. "Hello."

He looked at me and stood up. "Hello lady, thank you for inviting me. Introduce my name Risa."

"Thank you to Merry. Because he introduced you to me" I said.

"Of course, I don't know what to do to repay her kindness."

"Befriend well with Merry, always there when he is happy or difficult."

He's nodding. "Of course, miss."

"Miss Alexa, let's sit down" Merry said.

The three of us sat down and started to get into the main conversation.

"So what do you have?" my many.

The girl took out all the tea leaves she had brought. "This is the best quality tea leaves that I have planted myself and this is what I have brewed, please try, miss."

"Hmm pick me some of the really best ones because there's no way I'm drinking any of them, right? My stomach can bloat hahaha water."

He laughed too. "alright, miss. This is a tea that I really recommend because in addition to its beautiful color and fragrant aroma, this tea also has amazing properties."

I drank it too. Hmm not bad. While I was drinking tea, my eyes were focused on one tea leaf that had a beautiful shape.

"Hmm what is tea leaf?" I asked while pointing at the tea leaves I meant.

"Ah this tea leaves that I get from a seller near here, because of its beautiful shape I became interested in buying it. He said that this tea can make people who drink it dream beautiful," he replied.

"Please make me that tea" I asked.

Merry looked at. "You sure miss? We still don't know if tea is dangerous or not."

"I also don't know if the tea I drank was dangerous or not but I still drink it and it's fine now" I replied casually.

Merry sighed. "That's two different things, miss. Risa herself said that the tea leaves she got from the seller she met today."

"It's okay, Merry. I was very interested in the tea especially after knowing the benefits of tea leaves. Lately I've been having bad dreams so I want to try this one tea" I said.

"Alright but let me try it first" Merry said.

Risa interrupted our conversation. "I'm sorry Merry, but these tea leaves are just enough for one person because I just bought them a little bit earlier."

"You heard, Merry. I'm gonna be okay." After Risa finished making it, I immediately drank it.

Risa looked at me with a curious look. "How's Miss Alexa?"

"It's delicious, the smell is very soothing," I replied.

Risa breathed a sigh of relief. "Thank God then. It's not wrong to buy it."

Merry looked at me with a strange look. "Miss, are you okay?"

"Hmm I'm fine but I don't know why I'm so sleepy" I replied.

Merry immediately stood up and held Alexa's body from falling. "Miss?!"

"Merry, I'm so sleepy. Let me sleep a little." After saying that, I fell asleep and did not know what happened.

***POV AUTHOR***

Merry shook Alexa's body. "Miss?! Wake up miss!"

Lisa held Merry's hand. "What's up Merry? Miss Alexa just fell asleep, maybe it's the effect of the tea."

"No Risa, there's something strange about the tea" Merry said in a panic.

Risa scrunched her forehead. "Any? What's so weird?"

Merry took the tea and drank it. "Damn me off guard!"

Risa surprised. "What's up, Merry?"

"This tea contains poison!" merry.

Risa's eyes widened to hear it. "Ra-venom? But why are you okay after drinking the same tea as Miss Alexa?"

"I've been trained to be immune to poison so I'm fine. But miss Alexa does, plus her vulnerable body makes this poison 2 times stronger," he explained.

Risa opened the car door and entered. They both took Alexa to the hospital with worry and fear.

In the hospital.

Merry carried Alexa and carried her inside. "Suster please miss me."

The sister directs Merry to the ER room. "Please get through here, miss." Merry followed the nurse.

Arriving in the ER room, Merry put Alexa on the bed slowly. "Please save my lady, sister."

"We will do our best, please wait outside." Merry came out of the ER.

Risa who saw Merry coming out of the room, came straight to her. "How is this, Merry? I didn't know tea was poisonous."

"We just pray that Miss Alexa can survive the poison" he replied.

"But you said Miss Alexa's body is very vulnerable. A-is Miss Alexa able to survive?" ask Risa scared.

Merry looked at Risa sharply. "WHAT ARE YOU SAYING?! OF COURSE MISS ALEXA CAN SURVIVE!"

Risa was frightened to see Merry who was angry. "Sorry, Merry, I didn't mean to say anything bad. I-I also hope Miss Alexa can survive."

Merry ruffled her hair. "Damn it, I let my guard down for the second time."

"Merry, shouldn't we call Miss Alexa's family? However they should know about the state of Miss Alexa," said Risa.

How can I explain this matter to you? Merry said in his heart.

"You could have died if Miss Alexa's family found out about this problem" Merry said.

Hearing that, Risa became scared. "It's okay. Miss Alexa's family should know her condition. I will accept the consequences of my carelessness."

Merry nodded. "I will also face the consequences with you because I am also negligent in looking after missus."

"Who should I call first? Mr Alvaro? Mr Bagaskara? Or Mr Allard?" merry muttered.

Honestly contacting one of the three of them with the condition of Alexa that is not yet known will only make the atmosphere become more runyam.

"Ah I will call Miss Jessica, I hope Miss Jessica can be calmer than others" Merry called Jessica. The phone was immediately picked up.

"Hello Merry, what's wrong? Alexa is fine, right? I don't know why I suddenly feel bad."

Degs...How can Merry tell Miss Jessica that it's like this.

"Miss, earlier can you promise to stay calm?"

"Promise? What's the matter, Merry? Alexa's fine, right?"

Jessica repeated the question.

"Miss Alexa.is in the ER room and is currently being treated by a doctor. I don't know how he is."

That's all Merry can tell you, he didn't dare say that Alexa had just drunk poisonous tea.

Meanwhile, Jessica froze to hear Merry's words.

"Where's the hospital? I'll be there right now."

"The pelita hospital."

"Jaga Alexa until I come. I'll ask for more explanation later."

"All right, miss."

"Did Alvaro's grandfather and brother know about this?"

"No, miss."

"If..sir Allard?"

"He doesn't know either."

"Good, don't tell them first. We don't know how Alexa is doing right now."

"All right, miss."

After that, the call was cut off.
