EPISODE 32 THE GROANING CLOUDS

During the trip, Sara decided not to speak. He was too tired to talk. He only kept silent as he occasionally glanced at the man next to him. ‘He is very handsome. But baby, it is like that.’ Inner Sara.

This time, Sara looked at him with a look of pity. He doesn't like anything about Georgy, but he still has a human feeling. ‘She doesn't make any noise, is she okay?’ Think Sara.

“You keep glancing at me like that. Are you worried?” The annoying sentence that came out suddenly from Georgy made Sara gasp. He turned his face red with shame, not expecting that he would be found out.

“You think I don't know?” Ask her again with a deliberate annoying look. Sara felt very upset, the man was sick and he still took the time to disturb her.

“You, you're sick. You better take a break.” Sara said as she edged away from Georgy and clung to the door. Georgy just chuckled softly, he felt his whole body crumble and his stamina seemed to come out of his body.

He obeyed Sara's words to rest, closed his eyes and let himself be lulled into a beautiful dream. Sara looked at him with a happy look mixed in confusion. This was the first time the stubborn man had obeyed his words.

Sara looked out from behind the car window, there were only large trees lined up neatly along this road. And this road is very long, as if it is endless. Instantly, curiosity made his mind filled with various questions.

What will the house look like? Is it a large multi-storey building with a variety of shiny luxury decorations? Will it be like the houses of the young masters he often sees in the movies?

He didn't even know where the questions came from. But he was eager to get the answer. Out of curiosity, Sara ventured to ask. He advanced his sitting position a little to be able to ask with a frequency of sound that would not interfere with Georgy's rest.

“Em, uncle. May I ask?” Sara asked half a whisper. “Bby, miss. What do you want to ask?” Replied uncle Wen who was driving with a formal tone of respect.

He seemed to weigh the question, which question would he ask first?

“Is the journey still far?” Sara asked with a slight sense of awkwardness. “It won't be long. If miss Sara feels tired, miss can rest the longest first.” Uncle Wen's answer was very precise, he indeed felt tired. But how can he rest here?

Sara returned to her body. He lost his appetite to ask because Uncle Wen always spoke using a formal tone to him. And it makes him feel awkward.

Silence came back to them. It seems like Uncle Wen is used to not talking if it is not needed. Then suddenly he cleared his throat and made Sara gasp. “Ehem, forgive me if I sassy miss. But, what is your relationship with the young master?”

The question just floated in the air. Sara doesn't know what she has to do with Georgy. Their meeting was completely unexpected, and it was that incident that started her relationship with that annoying guy.

So, what do he and I have in common?

“We're just friends.” Sara replied quickly as she realized the suspicious look that Uncle Wen had shown. He himself doubts whether Georgy considers him a friend or not. ‘He was a rich young master who had power. Does he want to think of me as just this ordinary person?’ Her thought.

Uncle Wen did not respond to Sara's reply. He refocused on his wheel.

Soon, the speed of the car began to slow down and stopped in front of a large, high gate with beautiful carvings. He lowered the window and showed a kind of business card to the security guard there.

After seeing the business card, the security guard immediately opened the gate and allowed this car to enter there. When passing through the gate, Sara was immediately treated to a beautiful garden view with a beautiful fountain.

He was too busy with what he saw, until he did not realize that someone had been watching him openly. “Do you like?” Georgy's whisper was right in Sara's ear. Sara gasped. “You, you're awake?” Ask her nervously.

Suddenly something falling from the sky knocked on the windshield. And it did not take long, the water droplets came down more and more rushing accompanied by a darkening sky filled with black clouds. It was as if he was expressing a deep sadness.

On the other hand,

“S-I told you, I'm not her boyfriend.” Arora said with a red face to hear the young men who continue to tease him by saying that he and ‘bos’ they are in a relationship.

“Come, beautiful sister. Just admit. I'd be so happy to have you as a sister-in-law.” Said a little boy named Naufal. “Hey, I said no yes no.” Replied Arora with an annoyed face that was not covered up.

“This, drink first.” Zhuzu gave the bottle to Arora. “Hm? What is this?” Arora asked slightly suspiciously. He had just had a big glass of water a few minutes ago. You can't be thirsty that fast, right?

“You're afraid I'm poisoning you?” Zhuzu smiled slightly. Arora pensive for a moment, he was confused about whether to accept the drink or not. “You won't poison me right?” Ask her again to be sure.

Zhuzu shook his head, “No.” Answer's short. Arora received the drink and opened it slightly to check. After being convinced that there was no medicine or poison whatsoever in it, Arora drank it a little to taste the drink.

At first he only wanted to drink a little, but after swallowing a few drops, his thirst seemed to come back suddenly. His body wants the drink. He was too washed away at the taste of his drink, until unknowingly the water he drank had gone toilet, exhausted without rest.

Zhuzu again commented on a smile and this time felt a little annoying. “Are you not afraid that I might poison you?” Ask with nosy intentions. “So you mixed something into it? What is Digoxin? Or Polonium? Could it be Botulinum? Or Amatoxin?” Arora felt that she had lost control of her body, she could not even control her words and simply spilled the words she had in her mind.

Zhuzu was flabbergasted to hear word for word coming out of Arora's mouth. “You know much about poison?” He asked spontaneously. “Sure, Chemira often research chemicals.” He answered the question, very honestly.

What did he put in his drink? Did he deliberately set me up to get information? What purpose?

“Haah, I know the effect will be like this. But I was forced.” He said with a little regret. Arora looked dazed. His head was dizzy and his body felt light. And in that instant, he felt the darkness almost completely envelop him.

Arora crawled with difficulty toward Zhuzu who was sitting not far from her. When the distance between them was very close, Arora pulled the collar of the man's shirt. “You.. What... did you put... in the drink?”

Arora asked with anger emanating clearly from the look in her eyes. But before he could hear an answer, the darkness had managed to take over him. His consciousness disappeared for a moment until he fell down just like that in the warm embrace of the man.

At the same time, the sky also felt anxiety and regret. Black clouds gather and spill droplets upon drops of water that grow increasingly more perishable.

“Wah, the atmosphere is romantic once.” Said another young man who had just joined them. “Shtt, you don't want to interrupt the boss' personal time right?” Say another young man with a slight threat. “Ya, but what is this?” Ask the others again. They themselves do not understand the situation.
