Aisha's eyes blinked when she heard a noise that greeted her ears. He sat up, rubbing his eyes still filled with drowsiness. Naturally, he only slept at three in the morning, because he stayed up last night. The glance of the clock on the nightstand that shows at nine in the morning. Oh my! He woke up late. Buru hurried Aisha to grab her blanket and step towards the bathroom. He just washed his face and brushed his teeth, curiosity told him to come down and check what was going on.
When Aisha's legs came down to the stairs, the boisterous sound she had heard vanished somewhere. Even on the ground floor it was quiet without a single breath blowing there.
"Where is everyone? And what was that noise? " Aisha muttered while scratching her nape. He saw Myara just coming out of the kitchen, the girl immediately approached him.
"Miara! " Call Aisha.
"Aisha, thank God you're here I'm so scared." Myara.
"Do you know what's going on? What was that sound? " Straight to the point that made him curious. Myara shook her head weakly.
"Rey locked me in the room earlier, I just heard him and your husband scolding a maid. I don't know where they are now. " Myara tells the chronology of the incident she experienced earlier.
"Where is he now? " Tanya Aisha.
"I don't know, "The girl shook her head.
Without saying anything to her best friend, Aisha quickly headed to the back of the mansion. For some reason, his instincts say that Arthur and Rey must be there. And he's sure something's not right here.
In a basement room inside this mansion. Only certain people know of a place like this behind the luxurious Anderson family residence. Arthur sat on one of the chairs, one leg resting on the other. His back is comfortably. His eyes looked at a woman being interrogated in front of him.
"Say! Who told you and what the motive was behind it! " Shouted one of the guards standing next to Reynard. The woman who fell on the ground could only be as unwilling as to say anymore. He has said many times that he did not do it. Even the slap wound on his cheek was still felt.
"Say! "
"Bu-not me sir. I swear, I'm not the culprit. I wasn't.. " A little more, even his crying voice was already inaudible.
Arthur, who had just been silent to observe what was happening, now rose up. He approached the woman and stood right in front of her. A sharp gaze, adding to the ferocious aura engraved on his handsome face.
"Tell me the truth, what's the reason you're silent about being a lookout here. Do you know who you're dealing with? " His tone was flat, giving off a stern look that made the woman sitting on the floor bow her head in fear.
"Java!! " Snapped Arthur.
"Even sir.not me, I swear sir. I don't know anything. "
"Don't lie! We have proof! " Rey followed. One hand opened the phone and showed the evidence to the woman below.
The woman was shocked and immediately closed her mouth. His eyes are glassy. "Master, it's not me. "
Realizing that the interrogation had not yielded a satisfactory result, Arthur sat back in his seat of greatness. Rey stared and gave the code to the bodyguard who was holding a whip. He wanted to whip the woman.
But it arrived.
"Lia! " Aisha Yanh has been eavesdropping behind the wall and finally ventured out. He had captured all the talk between the people.
"Don't do that. " Aisha helps Lia to stand up. He held the shoulders of the servant whom he had regarded as his best friend. Staring at Arthur with a questioning look.
"Sha, what are you doing here? " Reynard asked, confused how the girl could get here when security was tight.
Aisha ignored Rey's question, her maniac still staring at Arthur.
"What are you guys doing? She was just an ordinary servant, let alone a woman. " Aisha.
"He is a traitor, whether a man or a woman if he is a traitor, then he must learn the lesson. " Arthur said flatly. Even impressed sharply.
"Look at this! " Rey thrust her phone at Aisha. The girl was lively, her eyes narrowed watching a video there. Seen in the video, Lia who met a man at midnight in the back yard. They're talking about something. And not only that, there is a CCTV video recording featuring Lia eavesdropping on Arthur and Reynard's conversation.
Aisha's eyes widened in disbelief, she did not expect, the servant whom she had considered a good friend turned out to be an intruder. His polite, friendly and kind attitude, was that just a mere guise?
"Miss, it's not me. I swear Miss." Lia's voice had been choked from crying for too long. Aisha looked into the girl's eyes. Looked at him inside. There was a sense of disbelief in him when he saw this evidence.
"I believe in you. " Aisha said, looking at Lia.
"What you're saying, it's clear he's a traitor. Never mind, you don't know anything about this! " A pissed Arthur immediately walked out of the room. Aisha followed. While Rey still continues to interrogate Lia, hoping that the woman will cooperate by opening her mouth.
"Rey, you can ask him. But please, don't play rough. " Say Aisha said before she walked away chasing her husband. Rey just nodded briefly.
Aisha stepped wide trying to chase after her husband who had first entered the room. He opened the door and closed it slowly. He approached Arthur who was preparing in front of the mirror.
"Arthur "Call Aisha as she approaches the man. "Where are you going? " Task her again. Arthur was silent while buttoning his shirt.
" Arthur, are you mad at me? " Task Aisha with her low tone. The man was still silent with an annoyed face.
"Arthur, I know Lia very well. He's an honest and kind person. It was impossible that he was an eye. " Aisha said as she looked at her husband. Arthur turned to face him.
"I know you consider him a friend, but evidence suggests he's an enemy. Then how can you still say he's a good man?" Arthur said flatly.
"But Arthur - -"
"I'm going to go. " Excited Arthur and passed from there.
"Where are you going? Isn't it a holiday today? " The girl's question was too late because Arthur had disappeared behind the door. Aisha sits herself on the couch. Massaging the base of his nose that feels dizzy.
"Arthur seems angry at me. But I also can't believe that Lia is a traitor. " Aisha muttered confused.
"Lia's been working here a long time. If he is a traitor, then... "
"I'll investigate this. " The girl got up and swung her legs into the bathroom. Aisha went into a bath up filled with warm water to relax her mind.
*****
The clock is 10pm, but there's no sign Arthur is coming home. Aisha is still faithfully waiting in the room
Even the girl missed dinner.
Shortly after, the sound of the car's roar gushed into his eardrums. Buru hunted her to look at the balcony and found her husband who had just arrived.
When the door opened, Arthur went inside with a flat face. Aisha approached her husband, helping him to take off the coat attached to his body.
"Arthur, are you mad at me, because I'm defending Lia?" Aisha asked opened a conversation between them.
"I'm sorry, don't be mad. " Aisha put on a sad face that made the man unbearable.
Seriate..
