Red Yarn Per-Hut

Chapter 67

"For the candidate, I'm not sure. I don't want to be a fool....." Etha did not continue her words, she suddenly heard a noise from outside her room.

"The fire!"

"The fire!"

Alfhat and Etha were surprised until they compactly said 'fire'. Then they moved quickly out of his room.

Richard and some of Alfhat's bodyguards were extinguishing the fire that had spread to burn curtains and sparks from curtain cloth almost devoured a collection of clothing designs displayed in the corner of the room.

Kayla also put out the fire using a light Fire Extinguisher (APAR). In terms of occupational health and safety (K3), APAR is one of the things that must be owned by every company and other business places including a boutique.

It aims to prevent fires, which can threaten the safety of workers and other valuables.

While other employees were busy securing Muslim clothing on display in the wax statue, then took it out of the boutique. Fear of fire propagates to melalap all Muslim fashion products on display.

Alfhat and Etha were only able to become spectators to see the employees help each other put out the fire until they finally managed to extinguish the fire.

Alfhat approached Richard who had just stepped out of the surveillance room and returned Richard to help the employees clean up the flammable cloth debris strewn across the floor.

"How can there be a fire like this? what is the cause of short circuit on the cable or indeed a deliberate factor? have you checked the cctv, Richard?" alfhat asked Richard. Richard looked at his boss.

"Already sir. After examining the cctv footage, a hijab-wearing woman wearing a mask so suspiciously entered the boutique. The woman had paced to see the clothes on display, but did not buy them at all. He had seen the situation around him and quickly threw cigarette butts on flammable clothes, until finally causing sparks and began to propagate through curtains near the entrance. After it worked, the woman rushed away. None of the boutique employees suspected him, because they were already panicking to see the flames that began to engulf the clothes on display. But soon I'll investigate who's behind this fire, sir." Richard Clearly.

"Hemm, I think someone planned all this on purpose. We don't know, whether it's my enemy or my wife's family's enemy coming back to attack me from behind or to attack my wife" Alfhat said.

"True sir, we must not let our guard down and must always be vigilant at all times. Especially Miss Etha's safety." said Richard.

"Yes, you're right. If they don't come after me, then the people closest to me are back to be targeted. For that, I want my wife's boutique to be strictly guarded for twenty-four hours. Prepare trained bodyguards to take care of this boutique" said Alfhat while exhaling violently.

"Okay sir" said Richard.

"As soon as the car is ready, I want to take my wife home to the mansion" said Alfhat and Richard was only able to nod in response to his boss's words.

Then Alfhat stepped closer towards his wife who was mingling with his employees who were swarming with someone.

"Honey, we have to go home" Alfhat told Etha.

"Wait a minute, my personal assistant is injured. Her palms blistered as she tried to put out the fire" Etha said with a worried look.

"Yes, then take him to the hospital immediately. Let Richard drive him." said Alfhat.

"I'm fine sir." Kayla refused quickly.

"How can you say it's okay, while your palms are blistered and it must be very painful, Kayla. So you should go to the hospital to get first aid. Don't worry, all the losses caused by this fire are all my responsibility, including the medical costs of the employees and injured buyers" Etha explained calmly.

"Justin..."

"Don't argue with my wife's words" Alfhat said quickly.

Along with Richard came to his boss.

"Richard, take him to the hospital." Alfhat ordered his confidant.

"Okay sir" said Richard with a nod of his head and glanced at Kayla who looked down.

"Go Kayla, don't let the wound get worse" Etha persuaded.

"Good Miss" Kayla said, saying goodbye to her boss.

Etha and Alfhat were only able to stare at their departure.

"What if we match Richard with your personal assistant" Alfhat said with a faint smile.

"You mean Kayla? my personal assistant?" etha explained it.

"Yes." Yeah."

"No no, I don't want to match Kayla with your secretary, don't let her eleven twelve with you" Etha said.

"But still, I don't want to match them up, let alone be the matchmaker. We just have to pray for them to be a match." said Etha smiling.

"Alright, my wife's words are wise" said Alfhat smiled thinly and then embraced Etha's waist, making Etha only able to smile. "Let's go back to the mansion" Alfhat asked.

"Come" said Etha enthusiastically. Then they walked together out of the boutique and rushed into the car that would take him home to the mansion.

While elsewhere....

A man dressed in Muslim clothes took off all his disguises in his car. Then the man contacted someone.

"I burned his buttons, but Alfhat's men managed to put them out" the man told someone on the other end of the phone.

"Stupid! Hans, I'm asking you to destroy the business that the old woman runs. Because if you don't manage to destroy the business, you won't get paid a dime." said someone on the other end of the phone threatening a man named Hans.

"If it is necessary to harass the old woman in public or continue to terrorize her until she becomes frustrated and in the end she herself chooses to end her life. I want to make that master woman crumble and suffer." he continued with a furious rage.

The man named Hans was only able to clench his hands until their call ended.

"Damn! I'm going to re-plan it." he said snorting annoyedly and then plugging the gas out of the place.

Alfhat Residence....

Alfhat is secretly planning a surprise for his beloved wife. Workers and cooks were busy cooking dinner. The maids began to pass by serving food on the dining table. They're all busy preparing for dinner tonight.

Because tonight is a special night for Etha as well as to surprise him. Alfhat was impatient to see his wife's reaction after meeting her loved ones.

"Who is the important guest? I saw everyone was so busy in the kitchen" said Etha sitting next to Alfhat who was busy playing her phone.

"You'll know later, baby. Anyway you have to look beautiful, because guests who come important people." said Alfhat while glancing at him.

"Why do you have to play secrets with me. I'll start to wonder, just be careful if you just prank me" said Etha while looking at him sharply.

"What am I pranking you for. Better get ready. Because we have to welcome my important guests." said Alfhat smiled faintly.

"Alright, I'll get ready soon." said Etha then stepped into the bathroom to clean up first.

It does not take long the couple is neat and ready to welcome the arrival of important guests. Etha looks so pretty wearing a peach-colored dress. Alfhat unceasingly looked at the beautiful face of his wife.

Meanwhile, there was the sound of a helicopter landing perfectly beside the luxurious mansion of Alfhat and there was indeed a helipad there.

Alfhat immediately took Etha out of the house to greet the arrival of his important guest. From a distance they were already able to see the middle-aged couple walking hand in hand accompanied by Richard.

Suddenly both eyes Etha teary see the arrival of the two people who are very, very dear to him, namely his parents.

"Mama, Papa." said Etha with teary eyes until she immediately sobbed. Then Etha ran over to them.

"Mama." Etha immediately rushed to hug her mother and her mother lovingly returned her embrace. They also miss each other.

Alfhat was only able to smile seeing Etha was letting go of longing with her parents. He really misses the figure of his late parents.

"As long as I can make you happy dear, with all I can I will continue to make you happy" said Alfhat smiling with teary eyes who also moved to watch them giving up longing.
