Harris walked into a room he used to use when he was visiting restaurants. He sat down while trying to neutralize the anger that controlled him. Meeting Bella like this she had never expected before. How could the woman be free before the prison term is over? Is it possible that he is free on bail? But who gave him bail?
"Harris," called someone after knocking on the door.
"Come in, Bi." After hearing the order, the man named Abi came in. Sitting in front of Harris while showing some sheets of paper which is a proof. Evidence of corruption committed by one of his employees there.
"Since when?" ask Harris.
"Looking at the data obtained, it's been about two months, Harris. Then what should I do?" abi asked, he wanted to hear the advice of his superiors. Even if he who has the authority of course he will immediately bring it to the legal path, the perpetrator must be tried.
"Is the man here now?" inevitably Harris had to speak four eyes to him. Ask him why he is corrupt and insecure. Though he is one of Harris' beliefs here, besides Abi.
"Have been two days he did not enter, his cellphone can not be contacted" he said, a long time he was suspicious of the attitude of his co-worker.
Harris let out a heavy sigh, it was not usual for the man to disappear like this.
"Yes, you try to keep calling. Tell your partner to meet me immediately" he said.
"Okay, Harris." Abi nodded, according to.
Harris rose to leave, before he came to Abi who was faithful to stand waiting for him.
"Thank you, Abi." said Harris as he patted his friend's shoulder, after he left Abi who was still in his place.
"W-what was that, Harris thanked me?" muttered. "Impressive" he said with a funny smile.

"Mirhana,"
Feeling his name being called, he turned to the origin of the voice. He scrunched his forehead confused. Harris approached him in a hurry. Was there anything urgent that he suddenly came? Lately, the man has been trying to avoid her even when he wanted to convey something very important a few days ago.
"What's up, Harris?" ask Shafira.
Harris seems to be managing his breath as he gasps for chasing Shafira.
"I met your brother" he said without further ado.
Shafira seemed silent for a while, then she turned her face expecting what Harris was going to talk about.
"You've met Bella apparently. Em, that's exactly what I wanted to tell you Harris. I'm just trying to prevent something from happening to you or Davina—"
"Wait, what do you mean something's gonna happen to me and my wife? You know what the woman's evil plan is?"
Shafira shook her head softly, "You know what I mean Harris, you also know what Bella is like. My brother won't stay silent let alone put him in jail, even if it's a mistake he made himself."
"A few days ago I met him, it surprised me. There's no way the punishment he received would be that short, unless someone helped him get out of there." Harris nods to confirm Shafira's words, but who did it?
"Then did Bella say anything to you? The reason he came back or what ?" Shafira shook her head weakly. Even he had thought that Bella would definitely repent after serving her sentence. But, wouldn't someone change that quickly?
"Unfortunately he didn't say anything. He met me to let go of longing as in general, a brother far from his sister." Shafira smiles at the thought of a brief relationship with her sister. They are not very close, but they love each other.
Shafira looked at Harris, "You don't have to worry, I'll keep an eye on him as much as I can. And your job is to take care of yourself and the people around you, Harris" he said, nodding in understanding.
"Sorry, but I have to go. Assalamualaikum." he said goodbye.
Harris flinched, he forgot the greeting when he came to Shafira earlier. "Wa-walaikumussalam," he said, looking down, embarrassed.
Harris walked slowly to his two best friends who were busy eating his lunch in the cafeteria. Farhan and Arya looked at each other when they saw Harris's face was lethargic and uninspired.
"The rules are not written, do not disturb someone who is eating just with your mood is not good." said Farhan. Making Arya frown as if to say, since when did Farhan care about such a thing?
"Silent. Just focus on your food, Farhan." he scolded, with a flat face.
Arya chuckled at Farhan chewing the food in annoyance, "Don't take heart, again sensitive him." he whispered in Farhan's ear.
Arya continued to chew without caring for Farhan and Harris who were silent to each other. More important for his stomach, now.
Harris pensive.
And you should know, with the return of a Bella then something bad can happen.
The woman's words kept ringing in her head. Is Bella going to get revenge again? Wasn't that a threat to her? Though he hopes Bella will be deterred if it is free. Harris shook his head quickly, impossible. Bella remains Bella, a cunning woman who is capable of anything.
"What's up, Harris? Looks like Lo wants to talk something." said Arya, the man had finished his lunch. Switch with a cigarette butt tucked in his finger complete with a match ready to burn it at any time.
"Don't smoke first, Ar." he said.
Arya looked at her best friend's face questioningly. Harris often reminds Arya to quit smoking, never once she complies. But this time it felt different when Harris banned it.
"Okay, I'm following Lo's word." he put back his cigarettes.
Farhan gave a small smile looking at them, like a child that his father scolded for smoking.
Harris stared intently at Arya's face, "Did you know something I didn't?" inquiringly.
"Well, I don't understand."
"Honestly, Ar. So far you've always known something before us." insisted Harris.
Arya seemed silent, honestly she did not understand where her best friend was talking.
"Try saying it, Ar. All this time you are always silent when you know important information" he said.
"What's wrong with you, Harris? You mean what?" Farhan was confused to see the situation before him.
"Not to talk, just get to the point." Arya seemed annoyed, Harris was like accusing her without proof.
"Dance…"
Arya chuckled, so Harris was acting like that just because of a cunning woman named Arabella. "Why the woman, is she free" he said. Because Harris looks very anxious, and maybe that's the reason that causes.
Harris said, "So you know that, right? Why don't you say, don't you—"
"No need to suudzon, sin. You know better, Harris." Arya rubbed her face, "gue just snapped earlier. It means I feel strong."
Farhan nodded in understanding, so this is all about Bella. "Wait, what was that? Bella's FREE?" he said a little screamed, when he woke up.
"No need to shout, Lo's voice is disturbing." said Arya.
Farhan immediately closed his mouth, "But how did he get free this fast?" whispered, Arya just put her shoulders together no matter what.
Silence, the three of them were silent to each other.
Not yet had Harris wanted to say something, suddenly heard a notification from Harris' phone. After a few seconds, one notification also came from Arya's phone and Farhan's phone. Out of curiosity about this same notification, they finally opened the message on their respective phones.
How surprised they were when they saw the contents of the message. No one opens their voice, they dissolve in their own minds.
Arya looked at her two best friends, ending up looking at each other. "Gue goes first," said Arya.
Neither Harris nor Farhan responded, the two of them still digesting the actual situation.
"It's-it's kind of a terror, isn't it?" muttered.
