The Little Wife of Arsen

Chapter 49: The Puzzle

Everything feels awkward. The more he finds out, the more he finds things that don't make sense.

Already 5 days passed without any contact with Alea, Arsen looked like someone who lost his identity. His appearance that looks a little messy with fine hair that grows in the chin, as if showing for 5 days back the man no longer pay attention to his appearance. Never mind shaving, Arsen did not even go home at all and became an office occupant with all efforts to find more information about the accident.

Thankfully, Kenzo doesn't have a girlfriend or wife. The man can crouch in the office while controlling Marinka's movements. Verily the news of Marinka coming to Alea, Kenzo knew it. It's just that he hasn't reported it to Arsen because he doesn't know what the two women are talking about.

Arsen knew that Wira loved cars so much since they were 10 years old. Various miniature cars were collected by his cousin, but Arsen did not know if Wira could drive a car at the age of 13 years. The high posture of the Hero allows the man to drive it.

As Arsen could have guessed from the beginning about the power of the Yudhishthira family especially the power of the grandfather, there was no news on social media at that time, as if there was no accident that night. Even Arsen remembered, the next day his birthday was still held and it became the first birthday without the presence of Wira.

"Damn!!" cursed again.

Kenzo who was sitting next to him rubbed his own ears repeatedly when he heard the swearing coming back from the boss' mouth.

"What about the Marinka movement? I'm sure she knows something" if she knew this was the reason Marinka suddenly disappeared, Arsen might have refused when she was betrothed to Alea. Is it true that you asked Alea to marry him just out of debt? Or do you actually know who Alea is?.

"He was staying at one of the apartments in Sudirman bos. It's just–"

Arsen squeaked suspiciously while staring at Kenzo who was now handing over the man's phone. A photo of Marinka's parents at the airport. "Marinka?"

"Until this moment is still in the apartment" Kenzo replied according to reports from confidants in the field.

"What about Alea? Have you found out where he is?"

Kenzo did not immediately answer, the man was silent which made Arsen even more suspicious. Standing up from his seat, Arsen walked around the table until he reached Kenzo.

"Lo knows I believe the same, don't you, Ken? I believe you'll report any info you can out there."

Kenzo nodded his head "Marinka has met Alea, Sen"

Arsen took two steps back to hear Kenzo's words. Actually, he had time to suspect because there was no way Marinka did not look for the whereabouts of Alea. And it felt that after hearing that Arsen felt the distance to reach Alea was growing further. Twice being lied to, if he were Alea, Arsen would also avoid it for good.

"I don't know what they're talking about yet. And Alea also seemed ordinary, like there was nothing surprising that she had heard from Marinka"

"When?" ask Arsen to panic.

5 days ago, that meant when they had a big fight in the car, the day Alea actually left. Arsen clenched his hands, no more time he wasted just to find the accident report that night, Arsen had to ask his parents directly, no, no, more precisely at his grandfather who was clearly responsible for hiding all of this.

Ignoring Kenzo's call, Arsen immediately grabbed his car keys and walked out of the company building. Reported by Diwa, family members are gathering at the grandfather's house to prepare for the wedding of Wira and Dira which will be held in 2 days behind closed doors, only attended by close family and some friends from Wira and Dira.

This is how the Yudhishthira family, will do anything as soon as possible to keep the good name of the family. Maybe if Arsen had told me Alea had been gone for 5 days, nothing would have changed. This marriage will continue.

Once the car he was driving parked in the yard of the house which is now in the decor into a party room. Arsen walked straight inside. The greeting of some of his cousins, except for Diwa, who immediately asked what happened because Alea could not be contacted at all, not Arsen gubris at all. His steps went straight to the main room in this house, the grandfather's room which was on the second floor.

"Speak to mommy first mas"

Arsen's steps stopped when Mother suddenly confronted him. Judging from the look on the face of this woman, Arsen can guess if Kenzo must have reported everything to the mother.

Kissing Amel's mother's forehead, Arsen shifted her body and returned to walk towards grandfather's room. However, the new also intends to knock on the door, his hand is held back by Bagas' father, and is instantly pulled upstairs. Many people in this house, he can't make a scene. The order is implied from the face of the mother who follows the child and her husband.

Arriving at the room he usually used every time he visited grandfather, Arsen was asked to sit on one of the couches in the room. No, this is not what he wants now. Arsen can no longer buy time if he does not want Alea to hate more. Arsen sense these 5 days his life is really messy. Sleeping and eating all irregular.

"A..Alea left the mas house?" ask the mother terbatam, tears have been pooled in both eyes.

Arsen did not answer. He looked up at the ceiling of the room to ward off his tears that wanted to come out. Enough he cried for 2 days after Alea left, he should not be weak if he did not want Alea to really leave his life forever. There will be no divorce papers, Arsen will guarantee that.

"When did you start?" as much as possible Amel held back his tears. Seeing her son's chaotic appearance, Amel knew Arsen was also devastated by Alea's departure. Taking one of her son's hands to hold, Amel sat beside Arsen.

"It's been 5 days bun. And mas will make Alea come back again. He won't be long gone from Arsen. He'll remain in Arsen's observation. That's why I'm per—"

"You find out about the Hero's accident?" this time, my father spoke. Bagas felt that all his plans had failed. He could not keep his promise just yet.

Arsen nodded his head. This is why he came to this house. Meeting with the grandfather who was clearly the key to everything that happened at that time until this case was not smelled by the media at all.

"Stop, and don't find out anymore. Let go of Alea if it can't be grasped"

After saying that, Bagas immediately took Amel out of the room, leaving Arsen who could now only be silent because he was surprised by his father's words. Release Alea? How come?.
