Shall Under Your Charm

Chapter 2

"Why did you lie to me, Zac? What kind of mission will you give me this time?". Farah asked while looking at Zac with a look of astonishment.

"Because I'm gonna take you somewhere I can say... Horrible." Zac stared fixedly at Farah. "I wouldn't have taken you there if it wasn't a precarious situation. There's a guy who's gonna be there..."

"A man?" Farah frowned. "What do you mean?".

Zac flicked his hand into the air. "That's it. I'll explain it to you later. But, this is important. I would never have taken you there if it wasn't an important mission".

"Hmmm.. I wonder what kind of horrible place you mean, Zac". Farah Mumbled.

"I'm just a house girl who doesn't really know the outside world, but you know that my courage is incredible! I've helped you repeatedly on dangerous missions and everything works! So I wonder what kind of horrible place you mean this time!".

Zac pulled his bow back while sighing. "A club. The horrible club".

Farah was surprised not to play. "The club?! Are you really taking me to the club, Zac?".

Zac looked at Farah while frowning. "Why do you look so enthusiastic, huh? Look, Farah. The club I'm talking about isn't the club you imagined it to be. Not like a club in the middle of town with young visitors who are stylish and handsome with their luxury cars." Zac. "The club is located in a remote place, we should come there after dark. Moreover, the place is often visited by the lowest people... The smugglers, the mafia and..."

Hearing that, Farah was stunned. He positioned his body facing toward Zac. He looked at Zac closely. But her brother never looked serious from now on. "I'll help you, Zac! Just tell me what I should do later!".

Zac nodded. He was never disappointed with the courage that his sister had. "It's not as bad as it looks. We'll just be a little while, won't linger. Because I'm afraid you won't feel comfortable. Two of my friends will come with us."

"Your friend? Who're they?"

"Ben and Austin" Zac said.

"You mean your two friends from Jakarta? Whoa! How are they doing? I'm sure they're a lot more handsome than the last time I met him, right?" Farah chuckled softly. He recalls the last time he met two of Zac's friends probably about 5 years ago.

Both then fell silent. Zac was busy fighting with himself. Undeniably his conscience revolts as a brother to bring his sister to a dangerous place, but on the other hand only Farah can help him in completing an important mission this time.

Zac then observed the younger brother who was trying to fix his hair. While observing Farah, Zac's expression changed. "You need to change your appearance. You can't come to that club like this" Zac said.

"of course. I'll wear a nice dress, Zac!"

"Oh, you're going undercover, too, Zac?"

Zac smiled at Farah. "Of course I'll go undercover too, Farah. You'll find out later".

The house that Farah and Aunt Okta live in is a large and beautiful house. Not a luxury home in a big city. But the house in Farah is the largest house, with sturdy walls and wooden interiors that get older will be stronger.

Over time, with limited money coming in, it was difficult for Aunt Okta and Farah to decorate it and renovate it. Even so, it does not seem a slum impression because Aunt Okta is a conscientious person. All luxury items in the middle room of the house have been sold because Aunt Okta had no money at all.

Tonight, as usual Farah and Aunt Okta were sitting together in a living room filled only by two long sofas. Both are enjoying a freshly cooked cookie. Mother Farah's family was once a distinguished family. A wealthy family, but since the death of Aunt Okta's father, mother and sister, the change in position from a respectable family to a destitute family has been felt.

But fate said another, Aunt Okta's only sister was married by someone who was quite influential in the government in the security section of the country and saved her from misery. Zac and Farah were made from the marriage. Not until four years after giving birth to Farah, the mother passed away. Aunt Okta finally took over to take care of the household

Andrew, still mourning the death of his wife, decides to move to the capital with Zac. Andrew is really focused on working until finally now he has occupied a high position.

Andrew always sends money to pay for Aunt Okta and Farah. Therefore, Aunt Okta raised her late sister's son, closed her life tightly from the neighbors. Therefore Farah grew like two branches of a split tree. On the one hand, Farah must understand and understand the aunt who raised her, but on the other hand, Farah longs for the outside world that has not been touched by her. Farah grows up to be a lonely child, but the neighbors who do not understand the situation consider Farah to be an arrogant girl like Aunt Okta.

"I don't understand why your father wants you to come visit him next week. He was never suddenly like this" Aunt Okta said in a moody voice. "I also don't understand why Zac wouldn't want to have dinner with us!"

"Is it because I offered him a cup of warm tea? Huh! As an adult, he can do that, right?".

Farah giggled amusedly. "Zac just wants to see me and leave again because there's a job waiting for him, Tan". Farah defended her brother.

"Are you going to meet your father there? How are you going to go see him? It's even out of town! I won't let you if you travel alone!".

"Zac will accompany me. Aunt take it easy. Although Zac looks indifferent, but he will take care of me" said Farah to calm Aunt Okta.

"Huh! What happened to your father and brother? Your father only comes to see his daughter twice a year and your brother! Gee whiz.... He's like a ghost to me! I never saw him put his nose in front of my eyes. He always comes when I'm not home!". Aunt Okta was still mumbling while Farah could only smile without saying a word.
